Today's Key News: ['The Euro showed signs of life earlier in the session, hovering near a four-month high against the U.S. Dollar on Monday as bullish investors held on to hopes that European Commission policymakers would break the stalemate and finally hammer out an economic rescue deal as their long-winded weekend summit reached a record length. At 0:59 GMT, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1422, down 0.0004 or -0.03%. Reuters is reporting that EU leaders were at an impasse over a proposed 750 billion Euro ($858.30 billion) recovery fund, which is supposed to be raised on behalf of them all on capital markets by the EU’s executive European Commission. That would be a historic step towards greater fiscal integration for the union, but a group of “frugal” wealthy north European states were pushing for a smaller fund and seeking to limit how payouts are split between grants and repayable loans. A source told Reuters $350 billion Euros on grants was the maximum acceptable for the camp of thrifty northerners, compared to 400 billion seen as the bare minimum by many others, including Germany and France. Diplomats said it was possible that they would abandon the summit and try again for an agreement next month. But market players expect them to reach a deal in the future even if they fail to do so this time. Deal Will Have Major Impact on Euro While the outcome of the negotiations is still up in the air early Monday, most market players agree that an agreement or a collapse in the talks would have a major impact on the single currency when trading resumes. Early Monday, the Euro is banging on a four-month high on hopes that Europe’s fiscal leaders would move toward agreement on the massive 750 billion-euro rescue fund. A positive outcome by the end of the EU summit, whenever that is, could potentially be the Euro’s ticket to fresh highs for the year. Currently, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1422, just below last week’s 1.1452 high. Taking out this level could drive the Forex pair into the March 9, 2020 top at 1.1496, followed closely by the January 1, 2019 main top at 1.1514. The latter is a potential trigger point for an even steeper rally with some speculators setting their sights on 1.1570 and 1.1622, both former tops.

No answers are posted. These are some tangible thoughts and strategies for many sapper events that brought my squad and I considerable success moving through. I went through with consistently single-digit temperatures, so my skill set is that of a winter sapper and a summer ranger. I don\'t know how specific I can get without issue, but will attempt to be as specific as allowed.\n\nValid as of early 2020\n\nThe best day to day description of Sapper school:\n\n[https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/bd58m5/sapper\\_school\\_descriptionguide/](https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/bd58m5/sapper_school_descriptionguide/)\n\nPreparation:\n\n1. Memorize the knots test. Yes, you will have to demonstrate the butterfly coil with a farmers tie off and/or the bowline on a coil. \n2. Memorize the sapper creed. You will be singled out eventually.\n3. Run often, no less than 5 miles with every hill you can find. My run route was traversing the base up and down every hill available. Often back and forth on the same hill loop for miles.\n4. You have access to TC 3-34.85 - read it. Understand the GS topics I will list below (in no particular order).\n5. Everything is for points. Never slack on a section because you think you\'re set. Identifying that type of anti-personnel mine everyone forgot the name of, could save you. If you have an hour to practice and rehearse, take the entire hour.\n\nGeneral Subjects\n\nGS is playing the game for points, but the game is consistent dedication to clawing at a slightly higher score by practicing your PE\'s for the entire time allotted.\n\n&amp;amp;amp;#x200B;\n\n1. Air Operations -\n 1. Memorizing types of aircraft with their loads, personnel, landing space... the general pathfinder needs.\n 2. Pathfinder Ops \\- Included in Air Operations, the practical exercise portion memorizing comms with approaching aircraft, hands-on will teach you in person - the biggest challenge is memorizing the commands of adjusting flightpath of incoming airdrops. About half a page of scripted commands you send over the radio by memory.\n2. Memorization Practical Exercises \\- Do not stop practicing for any timeframe they allocate you.\n 1. UXO \\- No issue learning this in person. Fast notes. Practice identifying. Covers classification and method of delivery. Example being Anti Tank - High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT). Anti-personnel - fragmentation handheld. Etc.\n 2. Foreign Weapons \\- Memorization by affiliation - naming a dozen foreign, mostly Russian rifles, antiaircraft guns, and machine guns.\n 3. Foreign weapon assembly/disassembly \\- 5 types of an AK, all the same basic parts but must identify the subtle differences (AK47, AK74, AK74U, etc). You disassemble and assemble for time. Practice for the entire time available to do so.\n3. Waterborne Ops \\- no issues, no written test\n 1. Boat test for rigging and lashing the transom, ruck loading, capsize drills. If we were graded for points, it was minuscule but were tested out pass-fail with a couple of rehearsal attempts and a graded attempt. My squad had no issue.\n4. Hauling \\- The most conceptual challenge of Sapper - most individual event no-go.\n 1. Building 2:1 redirect, 3:1 and 5:1 pulley systems to haul equipment.\n 2. Practice until you\'re sick of it, then do it again.\n 3. YOUTUBE THESE BEFOREHAND IF YOU DON\'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT.\n 4. If they see you\'re good, prepare for the 5:1 system test-out.\n5. A-Frame \\- Most meticulously challenging squad event - squad pass/fail\n 1. Many squads cut losses on this, my squad did not, but we still missed the 20-minute window by 5 seconds.\n 2. Tip: The individuals that participate in the example keep the same role for the rest of GS. Don\'t let the "Strong Sapper" be the wraps and fraps leader (courdelletes tying the 2 pillars together at the joint to create the \'A\')\n6. One Rope Bridge \\- Easy points\n 1. Whoever is the position during the instructor example does not change for the rest of GS.\n 2. Smart sapper needs to be the bridge team commander (BTC) who ties the transport tightening system. All other positions can be anyone.\n7. Casualty Belay \\- Challenging, same approach as one rope bridge and A-frame.\n 1. \\\\\\Someone writes down how to stage the equipment and the exact equipment list for staging\\\\\\ carabiners have different tensile strengths for different sections of the belay.\n 2. Don\'t make the same sappers run all the events, the processes become a little jumbled and hazy come mountain to test out.\n 3. One person masters their part in their specific order of events. They don\'t change from the instructor-led example. Everyone writes their specific task down step by step.\n8. Prusik ascent \\- Pass-Fail\n 1. Set up a prusik ascent in 3 minutes (I think its 3min). You have copious amounts of time to practice.\n 2. Ask questions early, practice it again, and again, and again. Then be sick of doing it and do it again.\n9. Rappelling on Tower day \\- attention to detail keeps you from getting major minuses and you will be set. Hollywood and combat rappels, that use super 8, air traffic controller, super belay gadget, muntar hitch, and aussie. Timed and tested rappel seat with inspection (I wigged out and tied a granny.. minor minus). Timed and tested RMPI (rappel master personal inspection, very difficult to identify pebbles in pockets, minor minus). Then you will rig sked casualty belay during your mountain day.\n\nFrom a strategic standpoint, you can easily accrue 3 major minuses for safety violations if you misroute one of your dynamic ropes in the ATC/SBG, or enter the pit from an unauthorized side. Attention to detail10. Preparing your mermite meals dress-right-dress to standard in GS and part of patrol.\n11. Class leader delegates tasks. One squad unloads main meals and serves, one squad unloads fruits, desserts, juices, silverware, and distros to the place setting in formation, remaining squads hold 2 plates at a time and move through the line... everyone gets one item, all the same.\n12. My class could set 50 meals in 4 minutes.\n13. Demo \\- multiple choice\n 1. If you went to EBOLC, re-learn your demo week quizzes and tests. You will be set.\n 2. NCOs - link up with a 12B for their standard demolition testing, learn these calculations before showing up. They will include all your standard MSD (minimum safe distance) with and without blast blanket, some tricky NEW (net explosive weight) with caps, det cord, and blocks, the timing for time fuse and how much to cut, ribbon charges, and some others that confuse you on when to place what style charge because of the size of a bar, the material, or the location.\n\nPatrols\n\n1. Treat it like it\'s real. I can not stress this enough, more than any other aspect of patrols ten times over. Live in the moment, become insatiable from the act of treating everything like it\'s real. (Then when SI\'s leave, flip the script and run out to place the claymore).\n2. Recycles run this phase. Let them. Empower them and learn their special products - laminated folders that track equipment, personnel, and patrol base sectors of fire. This is PSG patrol base \'go.\'\n3. Grading\\- \\\\THIS IS ENTIRELY SPECULATION BASED ON RANGER SCHOOL\\\\Widely unknown but can assume its the ranger school style of 70%. They will never tell you though.. .. You must \'go\' 4/5 events, (or 5/7 if they want to help you out). The events you\'re graded on are never known, even after your evaluation in sapper, and an unbiased system should have them select the event before they know who they are grading. It does not work like this. Everything is written in pencil, until the day you tab. Never give them a reason to turn your good mission into a below the standard one. Graded events include, but are not limited to Patrol Base ops, react to contact, react to IDF, squad or platoon attack, reach to ambush near/far, ORP ops like ruck distribution plans, movement formation, communication (hand arm signal/coms with higher/gotwa distro), land navigation (one SI shift grades if you make it to OBJ, one SI shift will make you pinpoint within a 200-300 meter accuracy for a go), actions on objective, post actions on (mascal, casevac, ace, salute, epw search/clear, withdrawal) (this is a flimsy one, and I believe we admin endex\'d each mission in the interest of time for moving to the next mission. At night its white light to find your rucks. You don\'t leave ORP security, I believe there is a demolition application one you can be graded on as well. There are a dozen other grading points, but I just hit the major ones. You will get an AAR after your leadership day which in no way reflects your go/nogo from the tone of the review. A glowing AAR can still result in a nogo, always try your best on the next look.\n4. OPORD, know who is on what team\'s section of the OPORD. Do it once, learn from the critiques, write a copy of your product, and then rewrite it for test day. Shells made are okay, scripts are usually taken after use unless you take it back first. The SI\'s don\'t really care that much.\n5. I did not get to experience sapper school patrol base operations or priorities of work. I couldn\'t even tell you if they do POW in the patrol base. I went when it averaged single digits in the day and we were forbidden from sleeping on the ice/snow in the field. We had many hypothermia cases and equal amounts of heat casualties.\n\nPersonal Opinion for Success\n\n1. My final and best recommendation. ...

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $9,457.2.

Related:First Mover: The Return of the Bitcoin Retail Investor (and Why That’s a Good Thing) Flash loans & hacksA hacker exploited a smart contract loophole early Monday to drain$500,000-worth of tokensfrom DeFi liquidity provider Balancer Pool. CTO Mike McDonald said in a blog the attacker had borrowed $23 million-worth of WETH tokens in a flash loan from dYdX, and used those token to trade against themselves with a variety of investment-grade Stratera tokens. A flash loan was used in February to cripple the bZx exchange. These types of attacks leverage aprotocol’s built in capabilitiesand novel financial instruments, rather than hacking the code base.

Privacy and pseudo-anonymityBitcoin’s culture is heavily influenced by the rights topseudonymity and privacyonline. Beginning with Satoshi Nakamoto, a long line of crypto developers have taken the route of remaining pseudo-anonymous for personal safety as well as to maintain consistent worldviews. Sometimes seen as needless obfuscation, masked identities allow people to “be who you are,” Engineer Kee Hinckley said. It also informs the projects being built, such as the many privacy-forward experiments on Bitcoin. Auditing slipA German shareholder body has accused “Big Four” auditor Ernst & Young of failing to spot a$2.1 billion black holein Wirecard’s books soon enough. Shareholders’ association SdK filed criminal damages against EY Friday for not flagging Wirecard’s accounting practices earlier, reports CNBC. The group holds EY, and two current and one former employee in particular, responsible for not alerting the authorities and investors sooner, which ultimately culminated in the precipitous drop in the Wirecard share price.

Volatility trendsRecent market data suggests thatbitcoin is becoming less volatile,while stocks are increasingly volatile, CoinDesk Head of Research Noelle Acheson said, in the latest Crypto Long & Short newsletter. If the trend continues, it could have profound effects on bitcoin’s adoption, as Fidelity found the biggest barrier to entry is crypto’s market turbulence. “With the narrowing of the differential, that barrier could disappear, or at least significantly diminish. It’s not just that bitcoin’s volatility seems to be trending down – if volatility overall is more acceptable, bitcoin’s swings could be seen as less of a negative,” Acheson said.

Today's Key News: ['Last week\'s hack of over 100 very high-profile Twitter accounts did in fact expose the direct messages of many of those accounts, the company admitted today — including those of an elected official in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders. The attack saw numerous popular accounts of celebrities and politicians taken over and tweeting a very obvious Bitcoin scam that nevertheless seems to have netted at least six figures. Twitter said that a "coordinated social engineering attack" gave hackers "access to internal systems and tools." Verified users were also briefly prevented from tweeting (a change some welcomed). In tweets and an update to its blog post on the "security incident," Twitter said that "for up to 36 of the 130 targeted accounts, the attackers accessed the DM inbox." They are "actively working on communicating directly" with those accounts affected. We believe that for up to 36 of the 130 targeted accounts, the attackers accessed the DM inbox, including 1 elected official in the Netherlands.

(NASDAQ: MARA ) ("Marathon" or "Company"), one of the few Nasdaq listed cryptocurrency mining companies in the United States, today announced the purchase of an additional 500 of the latest generation Bitmain S19 Pro Miners. These 500 miners will produce 110 TH/s and generate 55 PH/s (petahash) of hashing power, bringing the Company’s total Hashrate to approximately 240 PH/s when fully deployed. This compares to the Company’s previous S-9 production of 46 PH/s. The purchase price paid was $1,190,000. The Company expects to take delivery of these latest units by the end of September. On May 11, 2020, Marathon announced the purchase of 700 M30S+ (80 TH) miners which now have been fully installed and are operational. On May 12, 2020, the Company announced the purchase 660 Bitmain S19 Pro Miners followed by the announced purchase of an additional 500 on May 19, 2020. Today’s announcement of the purchase of an additional 500 S19 Pro Miners brings the total state of the art, next generation miners purchased in the past month to 2,360 units. The Company is expecting delivery and installation of 1,160 Bitmain S19 Pro ASIC Miners in approximately the next 30-60 days, followed by the remaining 500 shortly thereafter. Marathon’s Chief Executive Officer, Merrick Okamoto, stated “In the past month, we have heavily invested in our business through the purchase of these 2,360 next generation miners. We anticipate that, upon full installation, we could experience at least a 500% increase in our aggregate hash rate as compared to our production rates before these new miners were acquired and installed.” With the recent price increase of Bitcoin, each batch of new Bitcoin miners has been selling out, pushing acquisition and delivery dates out by several months. The Company has worked very aggressively to acquire miners with the nearest delivery dates in order to expedite its ability to bring miners online to ramp up production in the shortest timeframe possible. The Company has reached this goal with miners scheduled to arrive in June, July, and September of this year. Only one NASDAQ listed company has announced a greater increase in hashrate expected this summer than Marathon.

Threw it in a spare Haswell-generation mini ITX build I\'ve just upgraded from. Installed Pop\\_OS 20.04...and started playing, immediately, with no setup. My whole desktop (including all apps and games) are being rendered on the P106, and the video signal is coming through the iGPU outputs (right now I happen to be using a VGA output). Getting solid 60-100fps framerates in all the Linux-native games I\'ve tried (sometimes having to tinker with quality settings), and a good handful of the Windows-only games I\'ve tried. Unigine Heaven getting \\~1100 score on Extreme preset.\n\nBut the key thing is I\'m getting what seems like 85% (?) of a GTX 1060 gaming experience using a $30 mining card...and I didn\'t have to faff around with "hacking" drivers or anything. It\'s literally an out of the box gaming experience; Pop\\_OS\' hybrid graphics functionality just make it work immediately.\n\nI\'m sort of pinching myself, not sure if I just got lucky with some random alignment of firmware versions, which I didn\'t attempt to do at all. Can other owners of similar equipment test this, just install Pop\\_OS 20.04 and see if, for example, Unigine Heaven renders using the P106 out of the box?\n\nThanks and game on!\n\naddendum1: \n\n/r/gaming moderator\'s reply: "The bit about mining was a red flag about bitcoin mining, but reading through the post seems to be not about that.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.60% on Thursday. Following on from a 1.65% rally on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,615.0. It was a bearish first half of the day. Bitcoin fell to an early afternoon intraday low $9,475.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,361, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $9,685.4. Bitcoin came within range of the first major resistance level at $9,698.4 before falling back to sub-$9,600 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin moved back through to $9,600 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Binance Coin and Ethereum rallied by 3.64% and by 4.31% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.02%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.38%), Monero’s XMR (+2.54%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.30%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.88%), and Tezos (+2.54%) also found support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.48%), EOS (-0.43%), Litecoin (-0.18%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.48%) bucked the trend on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $262.70bn before rising to a Thursday high $286.03bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $281.11n. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Tuesday high 64.08% before sliding to a Thursday low 62.47. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.93%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.24% to $9,592.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,615.5 to a low $9,585.7. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was up by 0.04% to buck the trend. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, with Tezos down by 1.36% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $9,592 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,709. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $9,685.4. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,802.2 before any pullback.

I think if you look to the Bitcoin whitepapers introduction, you will see the main reason Bitcoin was invented, its competitive advantage, was for low cost transactions.\n\n.......the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model.\nCompletely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot\navoid mediating disputes. The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the\nminimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions,\nand there is a broader cost in the loss of ability to make non-reversible payments for nonreversible services. With the possibility of reversal, the need for trust spreads. Merchants must\nbe wary of their customers, hassling them for more information than they would otherwise need.\nA certain percentage of fraud is accepted as unavoidable. These costs and payment uncertainties\ncan be avoided in person by using physical currency, but no mechanism exists to make payments\nover a communications channel without a trusted party.\n\n\n Bitcoin solved that problem, for a few years. Bitcoin is no longer competitive based on fundamentals. Like Gold, it will remain as a legacy asset but will not flourish. Nano solves the problem permanently.

The second thing I see with Nano is that the more the community grows, the more people are involved in the project, and the more the growth potential.\n\nDon't be discouraged because of price action, or the fact that the project may seem dead now. That can and will change in the future. I personally think that Nano has a lot going for it, and it's just a matter of a waiting game. Since demand for cryptocurrencies in general will increase, Bitcoin will face more transaction activity, causing congestion within the network.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.58% on Friday. Reversing a 0.60% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,559.1. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $9,469.7 before making a move. The pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $9,498.20. Finding support through the afternoon, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $9,644.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,708.6, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$9,600 levels to end the day in the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Binance Coin (+2.24%), Ethereum (+1.46%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.16%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Tezos slid by 5.00% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.47%), EOS (-1.99%), Ripple’s XRP (-2.07%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-2.98%) also struggled. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.55%), Cardano’s ADA (-1.78%), Litecoin (-1.82%), and Monero’s XMR (-1.74%) saw relatively modest losses. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $262.70bn before hitting a Thursday high $286.03bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $280.82bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Tuesday high 64.08% before sliding to a Friday low 62.46%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.76%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.10% to $9,568.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $9,559.0 to a high $9,572.5 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.22%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.19%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.04%) saw red to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bullish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 2.22% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $9,558 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,646. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,600 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday high $9,644 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,732 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,558 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,471 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major resistance level at $9,383.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,600 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday high $9,644 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,732 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,558 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,471 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major resistance level at $9,383.

While Skycoin has been tradable on major exchanges for many years, XBTS represents the first time Coin Hours have been made available to trade on an exchange as a separate and distinct crypto asset.\nSkycoin is a deflationary currency, with a total supply ultimately capped at 100 million coins. Coin Hours, on the other hand, were designed to be an inflationary currency with inbuilt deflationary control mechanisms, encouraging users to spend and trade Coin Hours instead of Skycoin. As the Skycoin project continues to refine Skywire - Skycoin\'s groundbreaking decentralized and encrypted global mesh network - Coin Hours are set to become the currency with which to purchase bandwidth, storage, and other services on the Skywire network.\nIntroduction to Coin Hours:\nIn short, Coin Hours are:\n1. A commodity currency backed by the digital asset of bandwidth on the Skywire meshnet.\n2. The basis of the first bandwidth market in history.\n3. A form of interest on your investment in Skycoin.\n4. A way to keep your transactions free so you don\'t have to spend $SKY to use it.\n5. An anti-spam mechanism which prevents people from attacking the network with many tiny transactions.\n6. A way to effectively prevent institutions from issuing paper $SKY derivatives as they do for gold, silver, etc., and are now doing for certain cryptocurrencies.\nDecentralized cryptocurrency exchange XBTS is set to offer its users the ability to buy, sell, and earn Coin Hours on its DEX beginning July 29, 12:00 UTC.\nXBTS DEX is a BitShares-based decentralized exchange, which means that Coin Hours will have 45 trading pairs the moment it is listed.\nDeposit Coin Hours on XBTS:\n• Register for a free trading account athttps://xbts.io\n• In the deposit section, you will receive a single address to deposit SKY and SCH.\n• Send Skycoin (from 0.001) and the desired number of Coin Hours. (Minimum deposit: 1000 SCH.)\n• Note that there is a deposit/withdrawal fee of 5% SCH.\n• The two assets (SKY and SCH) are immediately credited to your XBTS exchange balance.\n• You may start trading SCH or SKY to any of 45 available trading pairs!\nWithdraw Coin Hours on XBTS:\n• Select SCH or SKY.\n• Indicate the address to which you wish to withdraw.\n• Note that 10% of the SCH are burned as per the current Skycoin transaction burn rate. SKY has no fee for withdrawal.\n• If you are withdrawing only SCH, then 0.001 SKY + the specified number of SCH is sent minus the commission.\n• SKY / SCH are sent in Skycoin\'s native Fiber blockchain to the user\'s wallet\n• Minimum withdrawal: 1000 SCH.\nMedia who wish to schedule interviews may reach out to:[email protected]\nAbout Skycoin:\nSkycoin is bringing people what they want: a truly decentralized network without any central authority.

Coca-Cola Amatil , the Asia-Pacific bottling giant, has partnered with digital assets platform Centrapay to integrate bitcoin as a payment option from its vending machines across Australia and New Zealand. This means over 2,000 smart vending machines now accept cryptocurrency. The machines running the bitcoin transactions are owned by Coca-Cola Amatil, a regional bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola products. While the Atlanta-based soft drink producer is a major shareholder in the distributor, the two are separate companies. Transactions are conducted via New Zealand-based Centrapay and Sylo Smart Wallet , which currently has about 250,000 users. Newcomers can download the Sylo app on their smartphones, add bitcoin to their wallets and scan a QR code to purchase Amatil products. Sylo co-founder and business manager Dorian Johannink said the digital wallet can typically store, send and receive cryptocurrencies including bitcoin and ERC20-compatible tokens like its own SYLO listed on Hong Kong exchange KuCoin. But for the Coke scenario, its just supported for bitcoin initially for the trial run, but we may extend the functionality, Johannink said. Related: Coca-Cola Distributor Offers Bitcoin Payment Options for Aussie Vending Machines Buying a Coke with bitcoin sounds catchy, but the cryptocurrency has notoriously limited scalability, processing an average of 1 megabyte worth of transactions every 10 minutes, after which bitcoin miners prioritize transactions with higher fees. But Sylos main focus is not on bitcoin as a payment form, but on the vision of connecting crypto to the real world and using the architecture of this trial to roll out digital assets as payment tools more broadly. Centrapay announced the partnership on Twitter Monday, echoing Sylo in claiming it was the first step toward mainstream digital transactions. The future, as Sylo envisions it, will allow customers to purchase a digital asset in the real world, perhaps a Coke token, and use it to purchase products. Story continues Sylo has moved quickly in the last few months, going from adding bitcoin to its wallet back in March and listing its token on KuCoin, to a real-world trial run in crypto transactions. According to Centrapay CEO Jerome Faury, the initiative has already demonstrated it can work in Australia and New Zealand, and will be targeting the U.S. market next with some world-first innovations. Johannink said Faury has already established connections in the United States and there are plans to move things quickly, but the regional partnership is still in its nascent stages. Sylo is determined. Lets see how this initial run goes, Johannink said. People are testing it out now. If it goes smoothly, we can roll it out pretty quickly.

And then I would craft moonshine and sell that for profit. Now it seems the hideout was very badly nerfed. Bitcoins only give you around 100k, and if you have 2 empty fuel cans and buy the rest of the items needed to craft mag boxes, you end up losing money. Making moonshine loses you money as well. Buying 2 sugar and 1 super water costs more than what you will make from selling the moonshine, by quite a bit when you factor in the fee from flea market. So even if you find the items in raid to craft these things in the hideout, you will make more money if you just sold them instead of wasting fuel and time to craft these items. And then it seems like the scav case was nerfed too, because I rarely make my money back unless I use the 7,000 rub option. I have lost heaps of cash using all the other ones. I think it was a big waste of money to max out my hideout. The only benefit I have really gotten out of it is being able to craft some rare quest items, like the virtex and transmitter, but even then it takes like 2-3 days to craft and costs a lot of money. I really hope they make some adjustments to the hideout because right now it isn’t making you any real profits.

It was bullish day, with Bitcoin rallying from an early morning intraday low $9,555.5 to a late intraday high $9,754.5. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,645.5 and second major resistance level at $9,731.9 before easing back. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back to sub-$9,700 levels before wrapping up the day at $9,700 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday. Cardano’s ADA rallied by 17.76% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+6.00%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+7.59%), Ethereum (+9.30%), and Litecoin (+11.43%) also made strong gains.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.19% to $9,696.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $9,722.8 before falling to a low $9,690.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.92%) and Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.33%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however.

But it fails to address how it will improve the day-to-day lives of the British people. In fact, there are no mentions regarding funding for public schools, transportation, and cultural amenities, such as museums, galleries, public parks, and others. With lockdown measures easing in the UK, investors are growing hopeful about a further economic recovery. This sense of optimism was barely interrupted on Monday, July 13th, after the governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey said to be “very worried” about jobs across the nation. Following the banker’s speech, the Pound crashed by 1.47% to hit a low of $1.248 on July 14th, but investors’ confidence did not fade away. The GBP/USD exchange rate has been able to recover since then surging over 1.70% to trade at $1.272 as of July 23rd. While Sterling seems to have more room to go up, there is a massive resistance barrier sitting ahead of it. The Pound must break through $1.275 to retest June 10th high of $1.281 or even reach the next hurdle at $1.301. Given the uncertainty around Britain’s economy, investors might be able to hedge against potential risks with Bitcoin . The flagship cryptocurrency recently moved past the $9,400 resistance wall and made a higher high for the first time since June. If the buying pressure behind BTC continues to rise, it would likely take another shot at the infamous $10,000 hurdle. Moving past this area of resistance increases the odds for new yearly highs. Story continues Everything will depend on Bitcoin’s ability to stay above the $8,900 support level. Expectations Grow Around the Pound Sterling was able to recover strongly following March’s market meltdown. The new fiscal stimulus recently announced and hopes for a vaccine against COVID-19 also seems to have helped propel the Pound higher. While the risks of Brexit talks and rising tensions with China are still relevant, GBP might be able to weather the storm against the US dollar. Given the current economic outlook with the Federal Reserve adding more liquidity into the market, traders must watch out for the $1.275 resistance level since it may allow the Pound to advance further. If sell orders begin to pile up, however, Sterling might retrace to $1.253. Under such circumstances, the two crucial price hurdles ahead of the Pound are the $1.275 resistance and the $1.266 support level. Moving above or below these critical price levels will determine where the GBP/USD exchange rate is headed next.

Following on from a 0.64% decline on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,400.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin recovered from an early dip to strike a late morning intraday high $9,496.9 before hitting reverse. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $9,606.27, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,285.0. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $9,300.27 before finding late support. Bitcoin broke back through the first major support level to $9,400 levels, limiting the loss on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of last week’s sell-off, with Bitcoin holding well above the 23.6% FIB of $8,900. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish day on Thursday. Binance Coin (-1.53%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.49%), Cardano’s ADA (-1.91%), Litecoin (-1.45%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.68%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-1.47%) lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.21%), EOS (-1.19%), Ethereum (-1.09%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.03%) also struggled on the day. Monero’s XMR and Tezos saw relatively modest losses of 0.17% and 0.51% respectively. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $246.94bn before rising to a Wednesday high $266.87bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $260.24bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 66.60% before sliding to a Wednesday low 65.87%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 66.10%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.48% to $9,355.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,400.0 to a low $9,333.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day on Friday. Story continues Binance Coin was up by 0.33% to buck the trend early on. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however, with Cardano’s ADA down by 1.05% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $9,394 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $9,502.93 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $9,496.6. Resistance at $9,500 has continued to pin Bitcoin back since 11 th June. Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $9,496.9 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,595.87. Failure to move through the $9,394 pivot level could see Bitcoin struggle on the day. A fall through the morning low $9,333.4 would bring the first major support level at $9,291.03 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$9,000 levels. The second major support level at $9,182.07 should limit any downside.

However, pyramid schemes that force their sucker "investors" to eat their own losses typically don\'t collapse, at least not for a long time . Crypto is a perfect example of this dynamic at play, since exchanges are able to establish a consistent revenue stream of hard currency by manipulating the market against butters stupid enough to gamble on margin. The whole thing basically has the business model of a casino/pyramid scheme combined into one. Bitcoin doesn\'t run on electricity or software. It runs on sheer human stupidity, gullibility, and greed. MLMs like Harbalife largely function on the same principle (forcing the vast majority of suckers to eat their losses instead of guaranteeing an ultimately unsustainable return), which is why many MLMs have lasted for literally decades.\n\nSomething that u/thehoesmaketheman said on here that really stuck with me is that governments make pyramid schemes illegal because people love to "invest" in pyramid schemes otherwise. This can actually do profound damage to society if taken far enough, and while any given pyramid scheme might eventually collapse (depending on its structure), there will always be new schemes and new suckers. Crypto is a perfect space for generating both, as it is both digital and laughably unregulated. So I predict the Bitcoin/Crypto/Tether Rube Goldberg machine of stupidity and greed will keep going until governments finally wise up and make it illegal (if they ever do) because its just another scam at the end of the day.

The basic bitcoin scam -- investors giving money to miners, with no source of revenue that will ever return to them -- has already taken some 15 billion USD from the suckers who ever bought bitcoins. That is still short of the 19 billion estimate for what Madoff's investors actually lost. But if we add the similar losses through other coins, including Tether and Ethereum, the total may be already higher.\n\nHowever, the crytpo exchanges have probably taken even more money from the other suckers who day-trade crypto. Those exchanges can do all the dirty tricks against their clients that would be jail crimes if done by stock brokers or stock exchanges. \n\nBut Madoff's was (maybe) only the largest ponzi.

Crypto has improved on early scams in several ways. \n\nFor one thing, it is decentralized -- there is no central scammer, just a large flock of scammers who are united only by their selfish greed. It is the very mechanism that Satoshi invented, although used for a purpose that (I think) he did not foresee.\n\nFor another thing, crypto scammers managed to convince many governments, including the US, that cryptos are neither securities, nor currencies, nor bonds or whatever. They are claimed to be "a new asset class." Therefore, existing financial and investment regulators, like the US SEC, do not consider the crypto investment scam to be their problem. \n\nThird, while some previous investment frauds required the scammers to lie about the true nature of the "business", the nature of cryptos is open but just too complicated for people to understand, even when experts try to explain it to them. Its alleged value as investment also relies on economic theories that cannot be easily proved or disproved. Thus millions can still be convinced to invest in them, in spite of their fatal and unfixable flaws.\n\nFourth, unlike most previous frauds, crypto scammers do not promise immediate profits. They tell their marks that cryptos probably will be immensely valuable in some indeterminate future when they will replace national currencies, So investors do not feel cheated when the price fails to reach those levels in 5 years, or stagnates, or even drops by 80% for six months.

Following on from a 5.23% rally from Saturday, Ripple’s XRP ended the week up by 7.80% to $0.21551. It was a mixed start to the day. Ripple’s XRP slipped to an early morning low $0.21313 before striking a late morning intraday high $0.22540. Ripple’s XRP broke through the first major resistance level at $0.2206 before sliding to a mid-day intraday low $0.21237. Steering clear of the first major support level at $0.2067, Ripple’s XRP revisited $0.2190 levels before easing back. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 0.25% to $0.21605. A mixed start to the day saw Ripple’s XRP fall to an early morning low $0.21526 before striking a high $0.21608. Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. For the day ahead Ripple’s XRP will need to move through the $0.2178 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.2232. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from $0.2200 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $0.2254 should cap any upside. In the event of a breakout, Ripple’s XRP should test the second major resistance level at $0.2308 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $0.2178 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.2101 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Ripple’s XRP should avoid sub-$0.21 leve Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9525.75, 9439.12, 9700.41, 9461.06, 10167.27, 9529.80, 9656.72, 9800.64, 9665.53, 9653.68, 9758.85, 9771.49, 9795.70, 9870.09, 9321.78, 9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

One sample tweet, sent from Bidens account, promised: All bitcoin sent to the below address will be sent back doubled! Twitter ( TWTR ) will have to answer for the hack, and the FBI is now investigating as well. According to Vice , the hack was carried out by an employee inside Twitter, who was paid to help the hackers by using an internal tool that changed the email address associated with the compromised accounts. Twitter on Wednesday night said the hack was a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees with access to internal systems and tools. But cryptocurrency scams on Twitter are nothing new, and they have targeted prominent accounts in the past. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter (Photo by Burhaan Kinu/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) The problem became rampant on Twitter in late 2017, when bitcoin was on a wild price ride . Bots promoting cryptocurrency giveaways would reply in droves to legitimate tweets from major tech figures like Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, or Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. The bot accounts would have the same photo and display name as the real person; the only way to tell it was fake was from checking the handle. These tweets would promise free bitcoin ( BTC ) or ether ( ETH ) if users would send crypto to a wallet address. (As a thank you to my followers, Im giving away 500 ETH! Click here! Just send 20 BTC to this address and we will immediately send back 40 BTC.) Elon Musk, in particular, was targeted incessantly, and tweeted in July 2018 that he wanted to know who was responsible for the scams, though he misspelled Ethereum. I want to know who is running the Etherium scambots! Mad skillz Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 8, 2018 Crypto scams on Twitter became so pervasive for a time that many crypto influencers on Twitter added not giving away ETH to their Twitter display names. Story continues In August 2018, the spam bots even targeted President Trump , replying to his tweets so that the spam tweets would nest below his real tweets. During the same period, spammers also hacked the accounts of real people with big followings, including the band Bad Religion and NBA player Monte Morris, and turned their accounts into fake Trump accounts. A hacked Twitter account, belonging to British rugby star Joe Joyce and taken over to look like President Trump's account, promotes a crypto scam on Aug. 1, 2018. You might think the spam tweets look so clearly fake that no one would fall for them, but people do. This latest crypto scam on Wednesday resulted in at least 12.5 bitcoin being sent to the wallet address shared in the spam tweets. That comes out to about $114,500 at the current bitcoin price, which isnt a lot considering that the compromised Twitter accounts had a collective 346 million followers, but it isnt nothing. Twitter, in the past, has said on the issue, We are aware of this form of manipulation and are proactively implementing a number of signals to prevent these types of accounts from engaging with others in a deceptive manner but has been criticized for not weeding out the problem effectively enough. This time, after a much more sinister example in which important accounts were compromised, Twitter will face far more public pressure to put a stop to such scams. The hack will also bring more scrutiny on CEO Jack Dorsey, a big bitcoin believer himself , who may not be able to pull double duty as CEO of both Twitter and Square for much longer.

What happened The Japanese company\'s unit Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies\xa0subcontracts manufacturing at the Texas A&M\xa0Center for Innovation in Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CIADM),\xa0a public-private partnership between Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and Texas A&M University. The U.S. government has reserved CIADM\'s capacity until December 2021 for the development of COVID-19 vaccines, such as a candidate from Novavax, Inc (NASDAQ: NVAX ), under Operation Warp Speed, which was described by HHS Secretary Alex Azar as “one of the largest vaccine manufacturing efforts in recent history.” Fujifilm earlier this week announced it had entered an agreement with Novavax to "manufacture bulk drug substance" for the Maryland-based company\'s coronavirus vaccine candidate at its site in Morrisville, North Carolina. The Tokyo-based company said "the technology transfer from\xa0North Carolina\xa0to\xa0Texas\xa0will begin in late 2020 with expanded mass production of the vaccine candidate starting in early 2021." Novavax has received $1.6 billion in federal funding for the\xa0NVX-CoV2373 vaccine candidate. Why It Matters Manufacturing and distribution of a potential vaccine is a key obstacle with manufacturers preparing to overcome such challenges even before a safe vaccine is found to be able to faster deliver the successful candidate, CNBC noted earlier. On Sunday, Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA ) said it received another $472 million dollars from the Trump administration, in addition to the original $483 million it was awarded in support of its vaccine candidate. The company also started the late-stage testing for its coronavirus vaccine on Monday, alongside another candidate developed by Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE ) and its German partner BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX ). Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) is expecting to start the late-stage clinical trials for its vaccine candidate ahead of schedule in September.

The Aussie Dollar and Japanese Yen were in focus early in the day, as was economic data out of China. Away from the economic calendar, key risks remained in focus, while the Asian markets responded to news from the U.S. The good news continued to be the COVID-19 numbers that remained on the lower side in spite of the easing in lockdown measures. While plenty of downside risks remain, including consumer sentiment, it’s certainly good news for the markets. A COVID-19 vaccine would address the uncertainty over consumer sentiment globally… Looking at the latest coronavirus numbers, On Tuesday, the number of new coronavirus cases rose by 112,694 to 6,470,911. On Monday, the number of new cases had risen by 95,146. While the daily increase was higher than Monday’s rise and 95,878 new cases from the previous Tuesday. France, Germany, Italy, and Spain reported 938 new cases on Tuesday, which was down from 1,018 new cases on Monday. On the previous Tuesday, 1,535 new cases had been reported. Significantly, all 4 member states reported less than 300 cases each for a 2 nd consecutive day. From the U.S, the total number of cases rose by 21,208 to 1,879,665 on Tuesday. On Monday, the total number of cases had risen by 21,287. On Tuesday 26 th May, a total of 19,185 new cases had been reported. For the Japanese Yen May’s finalized service sector PMI came in at 26.5, which was up from an April 21.5 and a prelim 25.3. The Japanese Yen moved from ¥108.719 to ¥108.742 upon release of the figures. At the time of writing, the Japanese Yen was up by 0.10% to ¥108.57 against the U.S Dollar. For the Aussie Dollar It was a busy morning for the Aussie Dollar, with housing sector data for April in focus along with May’s service sector PMI. The headline, however, was 1 st quarter GDP numbers, which were expected to be quite dire… Story continues Looking at the stats: Building approvals fell by 1.8%, following a 2.6% fall in March, which was far better than a forecasted fall of 15.0%. The services PMI continued to struggle in May. The PMI came in at 26.9, which was up from an April 19.5 and prelim 25.5. In the 1 st quarter, the economy contracted by 0.3%, quarter-on-quarter, following a 0.5% expansion in the 4 th quarter. Economists had forecast a contraction of 0.3%. Year-on-year, the economy grew by 1.4% that was softer than 2.2% in the 4 th quarter. This was also in line with forecasts. This was the slowest through the year growth since Q3 2009. According to the ABS , A number of factors hit the Australian economy, including the bushfires and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Government spending limited the impact, with public demand contributing 0.3 percentage points to GDP. This came from a 1.8% rise in government final consumption expenditure. By contrast, public demand detracted 0.8 percentage points from GDP. This came from a 1.1% slide in household final consumption expenditure. Net trade contributed 0.5 percentage points to GDP. Imports of goods fell 3.9%, with imports of services sliding by 13.6%. Exports of services fell by 12.8%. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.69680 to $0.69506 upon release of the statement. At the time of writing, the Aussie Dollar up by 0.54% at $0.6934. From China The Caixin Services PMI rose from 44.4 to 55.0 in May. According to the May Caixin Services PMI survey , Business activity and new work rose at the quickest rate since late 2010. It marked the first increase in activity for 4-months. A resumption in business operations and improved client demand led to a first uptick in total new orders since January. The rate of expansion was the sharpest since September 2010 and the historical average. Domestic demand delivered as new export business continued to tumble in May. This weak overseas demand was attributed to the continued lockdown measures in place through much of May. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.69506 to $0.69449 upon release of the figures. Elsewhere At the time of writing, the Kiwi Dollar was up by 0.63% to $0.6411. The Day Ahead: For the EUR It’s a busy day ahead on the economic calendar . May’s service sector PMIs for Italy and Spain are due out in the early part of the European session. Finalized PMIs from France, Germany, and the Eurozone will also draw attention. We are looking for a services sector rebound to drive hiring and economic recovery. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, even the ECB had been looking towards services for support. That then brings Germany’s unemployment figures for May into focus. The good news, however, is that the EU has agreed on a bazooka of a recovery plan that could see the markets brush aside the numbers. Dire numbers, however, could test the theory that the recovery will be a swift one to pre-pandemic levels. At the time of writing, the EUR was up by 0.30% to $1.1203. For the Pound It’s a relatively busy day ahead on the economic calendar . May’s finalized services and composite PMIs are due out later this morning. While downward revisions will test the Pound, updates from EU – UK Brexit talks will likely be the key drivers on the day. There was a hint of compromise from the UK government in the earlier part of the week. If that translates into a compromise with the EU on fishing rights then there may be the hope of some kind of blueprint… We have also heard the chatter of a transition period extension that would also be a boost… At the time of writing, the Pound was up by 0.25% to $1.2583. Across the Pond It’s a busy day ahead on the U.S economic calendar. The markets preferred ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI for May and ADP nonfarm employment change figures are due out. We are expecting another slump in nonfarm. We are not expecting weaker ISM PMI numbers, however. A fall in the ISM non-manufacturing PMI from April levels would check the market’s buoyant mood. On the geopolitical front, the markets can’t ignore events in the U.S forever… Trump is heading for the Oval Office exit door at a rapid pace if things don’t change. Or is he? The Dollar Spot Index was down by 0.24% to 97.438 at the time of writing. For the Loonie It’s a busy day ahead on the economic calendar . While economic data is limited to 1 st quarter productivity, the Bank of Canada is delivering its June monetary policy decision. Risk sentiment has picked up and hopes are of an economic rebound that has fueled a rally in oil prices. Will the BoC see it the same way? Expect a more conservative view, though we’re not expecting the Loonie to sink. OPEC Plus chatter and U.S EIA inventory numbers will influence, however. The BoC is fully aware of the risks to crude oil price stability and the impact on the Canadian economy. Some Loonie weakness wouldn’t be a bad thing… At the time of writing, the Loonie was up by 0.11% to C$1.3504 against the U.S Dollar.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.06% to $10,925. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,994 before falling to a low $10,915.6. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Tezos was up by 0.10%, at the time of writing, to buck the trend. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA was down by 1.85% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the $10,928 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,267. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,200 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $11,263 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,601. Failure to move back through the $10,928 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $10,594 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $10,255.

The CEO of this Bay Area tokenization firm spent over two years crusading for a peer-to-peer tradable fund. Borda developed compliance-appeasing token standards, hired regulatory veterans to lead his transfer agent subsidiaries and even moved Tokensoft into the same San Francisco high-rise as the SEC\x92s West Coast enforcement wing (albeit on a different floor). The effort paid off earlier this month: In early July, the SEC granted a notice of effectiveness to ArCoin, a cryptographically-traded U.S. Treasury Fund pursued by digital asset manager Arca Labs and designed by Tokensoft. It\x92s the first Ethereum blockchain-native investment fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (a so-called \x9140 Act Fund ). Related: Arca's Flagship Crypto Hedge Fund is Up 77% in 2020 Read more: Arca Labs Launches Ethereum-Based SEC-Registered Fund ArCoin\x92s registration marks a shift in the regulator\x92s tolerance for public blockchain investment vehicles, Borda said. He and Arca CEO Rayne Steinberg both said ArCoins could light the way for future offerings with similarly decentralized structures. But regulatory filings capture just how hard-fought first that victory was. Long road Arca signaled its earliest interest in offering a U.S Treasury Fund in an SEC filing from November 2018. Over the next 605 days, it filed volleys of prospectus amendments as nearly 10 different evolutions of what would eventually become ArCoins repeatedly hit a regulatory wall. Related: SEC, CFTC Hit Crypto App Abra With $300K in Penalties Over Illegal Swaps Steinberg said there was no guarantee his firm\x92s costly regulatory campaign would ultimately prevail. Tokensoft signed on as Arca\x92s tokenization specialist in July 2019, Borda told CoinDesk. Even then, a full year passed before ArCoin finally cleared that regulatory wall. Story continues \x93This took a lot of backchanneling with the SEC,\x94 Borda said. 10 floors apart Borda said one benefit of running a compliance-focused tokenization firm from his high-rise in San Francisco\x92s Financial District is that SEC regulators asking questions about his proposals are just an elevator ride away. \x93There was a case where I received a call the night before to do a presentation in the morning because the Crypto Czar was in town,\x94 Borda said, explaining office proximity (Tokensoft is on floor 38, the SEC is on floor 28) made \x93meetings a lot more accessible.\x94 That can be handy when meeting topics are as potentially contentious and fraught as the marriage of public blockchains and regulated investment vehicles. The SEC has been reticent to approve crypto-tied proposals before, perhaps most visibly in its ongoing denial of a bitcoin ETF. Read more: What to Make of the SEC\x92s Latest Bitcoin ETF Rejection The particulars behind one crypto project\x92s failure before the SEC and another\x92s success are not interchangeable.

Officials with the U.S. central bank, led by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, said Wednesday the economy is encountering such a drastic toll from the coronavirus that joblessness is expected to remain elevated for at least three years.

We follow the money so you don’t have to. You can subscribe here . That means Fed officials expect to keep interest rates close to zero through 2022, while pumping at least $120 billion a month of freshly created money into the financial system for the foreseeable future. The officials said they see little chance of runaway inflation in the near future because the economic downturn has harshly crimped consumer demand and high unemployment is eliminating any upward pressure on wages. Prices for bitcoin, seen by many investors as a hedge against inflation, rose on the news , as cryptocurrency analysts said the longer the central bank sticks to its loose-money stance, the higher the chances of inflation down the road. “We can be quite assured that the printing presses aren’t getting any rest tonight, nor any night for quite a while to come,” Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign-exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantum Economics, told subscribers in an email. Related: First Mover: Fed Sees No Inflation Through 2021, but Bitcoiners Are Betting on It Anyway Just this year, the Federal Reserve has already expanded its balance sheet by about $3 trillion to a total of $7.2 trillion. And Kevin Kelly, co-founder at the analysis firm Delphi Digital, told First Mover in a Telegram message the dismal economic outlook means governments may have to pump in more fiscal stimulus to jumpstart growth. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office forecasts the federal government’s budget deficit will hit $3.7 trillion this year, more than double the previous record shortfall of $1.4 trillion in 2009. Story continues “Such a backdrop is clearly conducive for hedges against currency debasement,” Kelly said. Scott Bambacigno, a vice president at crypto exchange software provider AlphaPoint, told CoinDesk’s Daniel Cawrey that “ the Fed can print money but they cannot print jobs .” “Assets like gold and bitcoin should do well if the economy continues in this direction,” he said. Bitcoin prices have surged 36% this year, partly on expectations the largest cryptocurrency by market value might serve as a hedge against inflation. Economists including Steve Hanke of Johns Hopkins University have written that hyperinflation episodes in Zimbabwe, revolutionary France, and elsewhere, have historically occurred when “ when the supply of money had no natural constraints .” So far, inflation has remained muted. Rising unemployment damps wage growth and consumer demand, reducing upward pressure on prices for goods and services. “We’re not even thinking about thinking about raising rates,” Powell said Wednesday, in a televised conference. A summary of economic projections released Wednesday by the Fed show that top officials at the central bank expect U.S. inflation to stay below the 2% target for the next three years. Prices for personal consumption expenditures are expected to climb just 1% this year, down from a December projection of 1.9%, according to the document. Inflation will average 1.5% next year and 1.7% in 2022, the officials projected. As reported earlier this week in First Mover , bond traders also see little threat of inflation anytime soon. And data released Wednesday reinforced the reality that, for the moment, inflation is nowhere to be found. The U.S. Labor Department said Wednesday that another closely followed inflation gauge, the consumer price index , or CPI, climbed just 0.1% over the past 12 months, partly due to this year’s collapse in oil and other energy-related costs. Excluding food and energy items, the so-called core CPI climbed 1.2% over the past year, less than half the rate of just a few months ago. It was the weakest core inflation readings since 2011, according to Scott Anderson, chief economist at the French bank BNP Paribas’ Bank of the West unit. “Our forecast is for core consumer price inflation to continue to moderate year-on-year into early 2021 before turning the corner on reviving growth,” he said in an email Wednesday. But David Hendler, principal with the bank-analysis firm Viola Risk Advisors, says it’s just a matter of time. “There’s huge inflation ahead,” Hendler said in a phone interview. “It’s only offset because there’s so many people not working. As people go back to work, there will be all this money sloshing around.” Greg Cipolaro, co-founder of the analysis firm Digital Asset Research, says bitcoin’s allure as a potential hedge against inflation dovetails with increasing interest in cryptocurrencies among institutional investors. The money-management giant Fidelity Investments said Tuesday that, in a survey of almost 800 financial advisors, pension funds, family wealth-management offices and other institutional investors, a majority responded that digital assets “ have a place in their investment portfolio .” And on Wednesday, the bitcoin-futures exchange Bakkt and cryptocurrency trading firm Galaxy Digital said they were collaborating to provide a trading and custody solution for big investors. If inflation is coming, now might be the time to hedge against it. “Predicting the timing of inflation is very difficult,” Cipolaro said in a phone interview. “That’s still a wild card.” Tweet of the day Bitcoin watch BTC : Price: $9,805 ( BPI ) \| 24-Hr High: $9,980 \| 24-Hr Low: $9,724 Trend : Bitcoin is flashing red, having failed to overcome key resistance at $10,000 on Wednesday, despite the U.S. Federal Reserve pledge to keep interest rates at record lows through 2022. Right now, the top cryptocurrency by market value is trading just under $9,800, representing a 1% decline on the day. Prices rose 1.2% on Wednesday but, again, failed to close above the $10,000 mark. Over the last five months, the cryptocurrency has faced multiple rejections in the $10,000 to $10,500 range. Analysts are citing the February high of $10,500 as the level bulls need to beat. Once that level has been crossed, the focus could shift to resistances lined up at $10,950 (the September 2019 high) and $12,325 (the August 2019 high). Indeed, the relentless slide in the number of bitcoins held on exchanges indicates investors remain confident about the prospects of a continued movement upward. The macro environment also supports bullish price action. The combination of increased monetary and fiscal stimulus is widely expected to boost inflation and hedging demand for bitcoin. Just last month, high-profile trader Paul Tudor Jones II said he held 1%-2% of his assets in bitcoin, citing it as a new hedge against inflation. However, resistance at $10,000 has remained intact for far too long – quick progress will be needed else traders might start to sell. If that happens, the market could test dip demand with a notable drop to $9,000. If that’s breached, the higher low – the next support level – at $8,630, which was only created on May 27, will likely be tested again.

Technical Patterns, Future Expectations and More – Part II', 'The swing trade took one month to play out and we had to sit through a lot of noise, but the price structure never turned bearish, even though it appeared questionable at times.\nThe question everyone is asking: now a good time to buy? And in terms of our long-only swing trade strategy, the answer is NO. Why not? It looks strong now? The risk of retrace after such a move is very high. This is NOT a location that offers attractive reward/risk, even though price appears to be pushing higher.\nNow that we are out of our position, we WAIT for the next long setup and this begins with first anticipating an inflection point. At the moment, that point is the 10,400 area. This is the previous range resistance, which is now likely to act as a new support. IF price can retrace to this area, and produce a setup, we will be prompted to share a new swing trade idea. It may find support sooner, but only price action can provide the evidence and there is nothing at the moment except for vertical candles.\nThis is Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9461.06, 10167.27, 9529.80, 9656.72, 9800.64, 9665.53, 9653.68, 9758.85, 9771.49, 9795.70, 9870.09, 9321.78, 9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace . From how porn performers and entrepreneurs deal with Bitcoin Twitter to the ways the pandemic changed our digital sex lives, Cuen and Allie explore what actually drives demand for censorship-resistant systems. The biggest problem? Allie and other performers and sex workers basically have their digital advertising and distribution platforms controlled by third parties that aren’t responsible to the workers. For example, OnlyFans briefly froze Allie’s account earlier this year. Although she regained access, her distribution conduits remain at the mercy of tech platforms. This is where peer-to-peer transactions come in. Allie said she knows how to use a cryptocurrency wallet and would gladly do so if more customers wanted to pay her directly. The fact is, those customers are few and far between. “To those people who want to come up with a solution, my first question is: Well, are you paying for porn?” she said. “I think a lot of people want to make money off of ‘adult’, but they aren’t really willing to invest in ‘adult.’” Related: How the Porn Industry Changed During Coronavirus, With Performers Wary of Bitcoin See also: Why Lightning Payments Aren’t Clicking for Porn Companies (Just Yet) Another major issue, according to Allie, is an increase in traffic or visibility doesn’t always translate to profits. Plus, many crypto fans see her industry as something they want to profit from, by building their own tech solutions rather than contribute to experienced performers. Story continues Compared to other bitcoin or ether holders, sex workers are even more likely to rely on social networks like Twitter than exchanges like Coinbase, which de-platforms them just like PayPal. Performers require either a high degree of technical skill, to use decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms like Bisq , or a de facto social liquidity network in order to use cryptocurrency without trusting third parties. Allie shares why she is excited about cryptocurrency, even if it’s a challenge to use it for censorship resistance.

Twitter had previously indicated that eight accounts had their data downloaded.\nRead more: Twitter’s Security Woes Included Broad Access to User Accounts\nBloomberg News reported this week that the attackers contacted at least one Twitter employee over the phone in an attempt to Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [10167.27, 9529.80, 9656.72, 9800.64, 9665.53, 9653.68, 9758.85, 9771.49, 9795.70, 9870.09, 9321.78, 9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Much to even the founder’s surprise, it has not only survived, it has accumulated a loyal following. Clearly. A group of teenagers on the extremely popular but recently beleaguered social platform TikTok decided to use their voice and audience to move the price of dogecoin up. It has nothing to do with fundamentals, potential or even government handouts – most participants probably don’t even understand what cryptocurrency is (many of the videos refer to DOGE as a “stock”). It’s about manipulation, just because. Why is this relevant? Because it is an irresistibly fluffy yet alarming symptom that trust is fundamentally broken in markets.

Authored by CoinDesk’s head of research, Noelle Acheson, it goes out every Sunday and offers a recap of the week – with insights and analysis – from a professional investor’s point of view. You can subscribe here . When you have the next generation of investors blatantly flaunting that markets are a meaningless casino, when you have them advertising that markets can be manipulated, then you do have to wonder what role markets will have in their lives as they get older. And much like the day traders picking stocks from a bag of Scrabble tiles, this does raise questions about the role of facts in our interpretation of value. When markets don’t make any sense, when fundamentals no longer seem to matter, it becomes clear the rules are being rewritten or even thrown out the window. We could be in the creative destruction phase that will give way to a new wave of innovation. And in that wave, new types of assets could have a respectable place in new types of portfolios. Story continues Related: Money Reimagined: COVID-19's Crash Course in Exponential Math Meanwhile, however, the untethered nature of current price logic is disconcerting, and a reminder that creative destruction can be vicious to those caught in the transition. Uncertainty is not good for trust, and a lack of trust is not good for progress. So, while I can chuckle with glee at the adorable takes that I can’t resist sharing with you here… …I’m also wondering what will have changed most in markets two to three years from now. Maybe sanity will have been restored. Or maybe this is sane in comparison to what’s coming. A Coinbase listing would not necessarily be good for the market We can’t not talk about the unconfirmed rumors that Coinbase is planning a stock market listing. These rumors are not new, but they have suddenly taken on a renewed relevance. Earlier this week, Reuters reported on the plans, citing sources familiar with the matter. And Coinbase has called an investor meeting, sparking speculation as to why. Should this happen, it would be a big deal for the cryptocurrency industry, but not necessarily the boost many seem to think. It would be a big deal for three main reasons: 1) It would focus a lot of mainstream attention on the industry as a whole, as financial reporters throw around the word “crytpo,” as equity analysts scramble to produce reports and as investors are taken aback by the sheer numbers at play in these relatively overlooked markets. 2) We the public would finally get detailed insight into the inner workings and accounts of one of the industry’s most prominent businesses (as an analyst, I’m really looking forward to that). 3) It would provide a listed and liquid opportunity for investors to get exposure to the cryptocurrencies. This could put crypto, albeit indirectly, within reach of any investor, retail or institutional, and possibly give it a home in pension funds, exchange-traded funds, 401(k)s, etc. How would this boost the cryptocurrency markets? Increased mainstream attention could encourage more people to learn about cryptocurrency fundamentals, and possibly trigger a wave of new investment. Also, new funding from an initial public offering could mean further growth for Coinbase through a broader reach or a more extensive service. Now here is where the “buts” come in. Rather than an IPO, the move could merely represent a handsome exit for the initial investors through a direct listing. Even if so, however, it would set up a pipeline for further financing, which could influence growth further down the road. And, this is even more important, a public listing of a significant company such as Coinbase would not necessarily encourage mainstream crypto exposure. Investment would be going into a company, not the cryptocurrency market. True, the investment in that private company could encourage more investment in the cryptocurrency market further down the line, but the effect would not be linear. It could even be a self-defeating proposition. Investors en masse could choose to buy shares in Coinbase instead of buying cryptocurrency directly, which ironically could end up hurting Coinbase’s prospects. Ok, that’s an extreme extension of the theory, but it’s not totally out of the question. The net effect of a Coinbase listing, or any other significant cryptocurrency business heading to the frothy stock markets, could be net positive for crypto assets. But it may not be the investment trigger many are hoping for. Hashrate highs Bitcoin ’s hashrate has hit an all-time seven-day moving average high, less than two months after a miner reward halving led to a 40% drop as unprofitable mining equipment was switched off. The hashrate metric is significant in that it is a proxy for network security – the higher the hashrate, the more computational power is spent on validating transactions and maintaining the network. So, the hashrate reaching all-time seven-day average highs is being taken as a bullish signal by some. But the numbers don’t bear that theory out. As we can see, usually after a hashrate peak, both price and hashrate fall over a seven-day and 30-day timeframe. But not always. So, hashrate is worth keeping an eye on, because a growing hashrate indicates growing confidence in the cryptocurrency’s outlook. But it should not be used as a trading signal without a lot of caution and additional information. Anyone know what’s going on yet? You’re probably all aware of how previously underused and reconfigured words and phrases have been given a new life with the current crisis. “Lockdown,” “social distancing,” not to mention “unprecedented”… And some new words are emerging. Here’s one: coronacoaster. I kid you not. The market has been alternating between fits of euphoria and depression. With the highs higher than the lows, the net effect is up. The main new factor that impacted the market over the last week was the sharp rise and fall in the Chinese market. While not a large market by U.S. standards, this rally underlines a significant difference in market influences. In the case of the U.S., part of the rally has been encouraged by likes of Davy Day Trader, pushing the retail frenzy to new highs. Whilst, in China, the stock market moves were largely from the government telling retail investors to buy. And then, to not buy. The bitcoin market, meanwhile, has been … well … uninteresting in terms of price and volumes. Maybe a strong breakout is building, maybe not, and either way, who knows in which direction. Meanwhile the developments in the sector are galloping forward as you will see below in CHAIN LINKS, so the lack of notable market trends does not mean that we get to put down our pencils for a bit and take a breather. Unfortunately. CHAIN LINKS Los Angeles-based fund manager Arca has launched its Arca U.S. Treasury Fund, an SEC-registered closed-end fund that invests in U.S. T-bills and notes, and whose digital shares – ArCoins – move on the ethereum blockchain. TAKEAWAY: This is the first time the SEC has allowed a fund represented by blockchain-based tokens to trade under the 40 Act. Technically the fund’s shares will be crypto asset investments, although their value will be based on one of the most stable securities available: short-term U.S. government debt. This is fascinating because it could change the perception that markets and regulators have of crypto assets in general, and it could start to wake general capital markets up to alternative trading mechanisms. Whether this fund takes off or not, it is a pioneering step towards what could be the capital markets of tomorrow. Kraken Futures, previously known as Crypto Facilities, has been granted a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) license from the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority. TAKEAWAY: This makes Crypto Facilities the first licensed crypto derivatives platform for the European market, and we could soon see the launch of EUR-denominated crypto products. The London Stock Exchange Group has added 169 digital assets to its SEDOL Masterfile service, a global database that assigns unique identifiers to financial instruments. This helps LSEG customers keep track of traded assets from execution to settlement. TAKEAWAY: This is not an official seal of “approval,” but it’s worth asking why they would do this if it’s not to include digital assets in their offering at some point in the future. The CFTC , which regulates the U.S. bitcoin and ether derivatives markets, plans to develop a digital asset innovation blueprint by 2024. TAKEAWAY: That may sound like a long time in the future, but in terms of new regulatory frameworks, it’s actually not, and it does strongly suggest the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is already working on it. So, we can expect more investigation, communication and events from the world’s principal derivatives regulator over the coming months, which should hint at the stance global derivatives regulators around the w... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

No one knows exactly how a second wave of coronavirus infections might affect traditional or digital-asset markets. Some analysts argue that better preparation and existing restrictions mean the effects could be more muted. In order to minimize disruption, governments might move quickly to isolate outbreaks, rather than resorting to further large-scale lockdowns.

Stocks and bitcoin tumbled last week amid concerns the number of cases is rising and as the Federal Reserve warned a full economic recovery isn’t likely for at least three years. Markets recovered quickly, partly due to an announcement of fresh stimulus from the Federal Reserve. But cryptocurrency analysts say the episode shows bitcoin might tumble anew if traditional markets swoon again. “Should a second wave hit this year, bitcoin will likely continue moving in correlation with the overall market,” Jonathan Leong, CEO of BTSE exchange, said in comments to First Mover. Related: Bitcoin Still Undervalued After Q2 Rally, Price Metric Shows Cases are rising around the globe as the coronavirus spreads through the herd of humanity. Story continues After more than 50 days without a reported case, health authorities in Beijing reported 36 new cases on Saturday, believed to have been carried in on imported salmon sold at a local market. City officials shut down surrounding neighborhoods, and major supermarkets pulled salmon from shelves. Daily records of new cases have also cropped up some U.S. states that have started reopening, including Florida, Texas and Arizona . In France, where President Emmanuel Macron declared a “ first victory ” against the illness and reopened cafes and restaurants, he has warned the pandemic could easily return. The risk has spurred some cryptocurrency analysts to start asking how bitcoin might perform if conditions took a turn for the worse. The memories are still fresh of the sell-off on March 12, now known as “Black Thursday,” when the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks tumbled almost 10%, and bitcoin fell 39%. Rapid pledges of trillions of dollars of liquidity injections by central banks helped to put a floor under markets. By mid-May, central banks and governments had injected roughly $15 trillion into the global economy . Both bitcoin and U.S. stocks recovered. Over the past week, the pattern returned. From last Thursday through Monday, the S&P 500 fell by nearly 7% and bitcoin tumbled, too. The markets rebounded after the Federal Reserve announced Monday it would start buying individual corporate bonds as part of an expanded program that might eventually reach $750 billion of total assets. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) also announced it was ready to pump an additional trillion dollars’ worth of yen into local companies. “The latest demonstration of seemingly unlimited central bank support drowned out the worrying news,” Michael Mackenzie wrote in his Market Forces newsletter for the Financial Times. For the past several months, bitcoin and U.S. stocks have shown a weak but persistent correlation. Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign-exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantitative Economics, wrote Tuesday in an email to subscribers that the question of whether bitcoin will crash with stocks “keeps coming up lately.” “The clearer it gets that we may be in for further pain in the stock markets, the more people want to know if bitcoin will again participate in a multi-asset sell-off,” he wrote. Investors are likely to be “a lot more prepared” for a second crash, he said, and there’s a possibility that a “bout of extreme volatility could break the correlation” between bitcoin and stocks. “Of course, it’s only a theory,” Greenspan said.

So far bitcoin has not been able to capitalize on the dip demand, or seller exhaustion, seen below the average support. The range play, however, could soon end with a breakout on the higher side, according to bullish developments on the three-day chart. To start with, the 50- and 100-candle MAs have produced a bull cross for the first time June 2016. Back then, the confirmation of the bullish crossover had accelerated the preceding uptrend. Similarly, bitcoin broke into a bull market in the October 2015 following a bull cross of the same two averages. In addition, the cryptocurrency created a classic long-tailed bullish hammer candle in the three-days to June 17, marking a strong dip demand near support at $8,876. That level marks the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the rally from $3,867 to $10,429. With the three-day chart reporting bullish patterns, technical traders may enter the market, lifting prices higher. The immediate resistance is seen at $9,566, followed by $10,000. On the downside, the Fibonacci support at $8,876 is the level to beat for the sellers.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.04% to $11,800. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $11,788 before rising to a high $11,845. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.09%), Ethereum (+0.45%), Monero’s XMR (+0.30%), Stellar’s Limen (+0.58%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.87%) found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however, with Litecoin down by 0.87% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,625 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,023. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $11,843. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $12,241. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,625 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,407 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $11,009 and sub-$11,000 levels.

And consensus is a way for a bunch of people who may disagree on things to agree to a singular fact that they then execute. So imagine if Congress actually had bipartisan support to unilaterally pass a bill every 10 minutes… That’s basically what’s occurring in Bitcoin. There’s nothing more political than money because money affects everything else, and yet Bitcoin works. I think there are a lot of people looking at trying to reform the governance structures of the places that they’re in, what they really should be doing is looking at things like Bitcoin and frameworks using blockchains to say, “OK, how can we come to consensus over this or that governance issue of which money would be one… But I think the most transformative and phenomenal thing it’ll do is, Nakamoto Consensus and then just blockchain governance writ large is a phenomenal way to have self governance. We see these breakdowns and these desires to federate cities and the way decisions are made, [but] maybe rather than turning to a government based political solution, a community based solution using something like a blockchain would be something with a lot greater staying power and impact.”– Jonathan Mohan On today’s show we’re going back to basics. Whilebitcoinand digital bearer assets in general are an incredibly important technology, the reason they’re likely to be important to the future has little to do with the token and everything to do with the context surrounding them: The world we live in every day, where government-controlled money is abused for the benefit of the few and to the detriment of the many. Related: Topics: • For whom is the economy still working, and who is not being served? • What’s wrong with money that makes alternatives attractive? • Why and how is Bitcoin disconnected from the current system? • What’s the value in the U.S .and western Europe compared to the value in less developed parts of the world? • What role does speculation play in the story of bitcoin? • Bitcoin’s been around now for more than 20 years. Are we on track to make a difference? What’s the normal adoption curve for disruptive or revolutionary technologies? • What IS a disruptive or revolutionary technology? Who or what is bitcoin potentially disrupting? • Does being part of the bitcoin community make you politically affiliated, or represent a distinct political viewpoint? Selected excerpts from this week’s discussion: “Money, because it’s central to markets, which are central to the ways we organize societies, is one of the most powerful technological tools that exists. If you then put the control of that technological tool in the hands of a monopolistic entity of any kind, whether that’s Facebook libra or the U.S. dollar under the Federal Reserve or whatever else it is, what happens is that that tool can be used to exert power on the way society is governed and on the way resources are allocated in a non-transparent way that is not subject to political correction or adjustment by democratic means. And when you take a tool that’s that powerful and take it out of the oversight and control of democratic institutions, then it attracts the kinds of sociopaths who want to control that lever of power, and they use it to distort the market in their favor. And that’s the really dangerous aspect of money, because it’s not simply neutral fuel for an economy or some forms of it are not neutral fuel for the economy. I’ve talked about this in the past as, money is a system of control in addition to its function of medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value. And when it can be used more effectively as a system of control, then it starts losing its utility as a medium of exchange, a unit of account and a store of value because its power as a system of control is so intoxicating and so overpowering that it erases all other uses of it. And that’s exactly what we see. Centralized money is no longer offering useful signaling of value, no longer offering using unit of account measurement, it’s not serving as a good store of value and increasingly not as an open, free, highly liquid medium of exchange because its use as a system of control has overridden all those considerations.” –Andreas M. Antonopoulos * * * It seems like the past hundred years and the statements made publicly now and in perpetuity is that dollars will always go down and stocks will always go up. So there are fundamentally two types of Americans, those who have their life savings in dollars and those who have it in stocks. And the crazy thing with stocks, unless you’re part of the racket every now and then they completely collapse. So even that’s a rigged game. What I like about Bitcoin is it’s a way to be a part of neither game. I don’t get to insider trade like a congressman, and I also don’t have all of my life savings stolen from me because that 3% raise I get every year is completely wiped out by money manipulation.– Jonathan Mohan See also:‘We Need 30 Different Words for Censorship,’ Feat. Andreas M. Antonopoulos * * * “This entire experiment and civilization [was] founded on the idea that we have a ladder with rungs on it and a reset button. So you fall down the ladder, you hit the reset button and you can start climbing back up it. And every time the government massively overcorrects or disproportionately gives money out into the ecosystem, they’re pulling out a rung from the ladder…”– Jonathan Mohan * * * “Capitalism without the risk of failure, isn’t.”– Andreas M. Antonopoulos * * * “One of the most phenomenal things that America did was the idea of bankruptcy. This idea that you could fail and that your family wouldn’t be debt slaves to try to repay it. This idea of a serial entrepreneur was kind of invented here because the economic concept of a reset button existed here, and what we’re seeing is the death of the reset button. …[T]he way they’re accomplishing that is by pulling up the rungs of the ladder. So it’s a failure on two sides at the same time…”– Jonathan Mohan Credits This episode of Let’s Talk Bitcoin features Stephanie Murphy, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine and Jonathan Mohan.

Reversing a 6.71% gain from Saturday, EOS ended the week up by 8.23% to $2.9409. It was a choppy start to the day. EOS rose to an early morning intraday high $3.4852 before hitting reverse. EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $3.4029 before tumbling to an early morning intraday low $2.4884. The sell-off saw EOS slide through the day’s major support levels before briefly revisiting $3.0 levels. EOS moved back through the third major support level at $2.7121 and the second major support level at $2.9748. It was a bearish 2 nd half of the day, however. EOS fell back through the second major support level to end the day in the deep red. At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.75% to $2.9631. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $2.9022 before rising to a high $2.9631. EOS left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. For the day ahead EOS would need to move through the $2.9715 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.4546. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $3.40 levels. Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. Failure to move through the $2.9715 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2.4578 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, EOS should steer well clear of the second major support level at $1.9747.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.00% to $375.93. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $366.34 before rising to a high $376.63. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Ethereum found support at the 38.2% FIB of $367 early on. For the day ahead Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $371 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $416.22.

I know that this would probably never be practical but I was still curious.\n\nthe current hashrate is 110EH per second. so one block for every 66000 Exohashes\n\nassume moores law continues as it has been, if someone knew a wallet had 1 blocks worth of BTC, and ASICs could be created in the future solely for this purpose, when would a 12 word mnemonic seed brute force be profitable?\n\nassuming the checksum is just as hard to crack as the other words to be conservative, the amount of hashes would be 2048\\^(x), where x is the amount of missing words.\n\npunching 2048\\^(x)=66(10\\^21) into wolfram alpha, X approaches 7. so right now the answer is 7.\n\nin 6 years, hashing power of the network has increased approx. 1000 times.\n\nassuming this continues (which it wont due to physical constraints of microelectronics causing diminishing returns) then approx. every 6 years you need an additional word to protect 1 block of btc.\n\n66(10\\^24)=2048\\^x. X will approach 8\n\n2020+6\\*(number of words)=2050 for an additional 5 words.\n\nSo around 2050, cracking a 12 word mnemonic seed would take the network 10 minutes hypothetically. The block reward will be around 6.25/(2\\^7)=0.0488BTC. In 6 more years it would be profitable if the wallet held about 1000 times less.\n\n24 word mnemonic seeds would be safe for much longer', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/i2krgx/possibility_of_a_brute_forcing_industry_arising/', 'i2krgx', [['u/jcoinner', 13, '2020-08-03 01:07', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/i2krgx/possibility_of_a_brute_forcing_industry_arising/g05i7am/', "BIP39 uses PBKDF2 with 2048 rounds with HMAC-SHA512. So the mining hardware is not remotely near the same complexity or using the same algorithms. Mining hardware only attains it's speed by pipelining the sha256 cycles and being able to start a new cycle on each increment of input counter, and iirc it uses various shortcuts. It's probably possible, though far more complex, to do this with PBKDF2 but it would not help at all with trying to find a specific seed. You'd have to be scanning all seeds for any wallet, and you would be excluding all wallets with passphrases. PBKDF2 is designed specifically to be slow whereas sha256 was designed to be fast. \n\nThen on each cycle of generating a seed, xprv and xpub you'd have to look up in a utxo table to see if any of first N addresses has an output. This is all vastly slower than the cycle speed of current mining hardware and not something that is improving at the same rate, ie. RAM speeds have peaked for a long time already (assuming you load the utxo set into RAM).\n\nThere are so many differences here you should just throw out any comparison and start from scratch.

Today's Key News: ['The rain has come. The machines are humming. This should be the best time of the year for China’sbitcoinminers. The monsoon season, generally from June to October, brings excessive rain and thus cheap hydro electricity.\nBut this year is different, proving to be harder than ever for China’s bitcoin miners and mining farm operators who areestimatedto dominate 65% of the global multi-billion dollar bitcoin mining industry.\nSince last summer,many miningfarm operators rushed to build new facilities in China’s southwestern region in anticipation of a dramatic price rise with bitcoin’s halving.\nRelated:Bitcoin Miners Saw 7% Revenue Increase in July\nButmining difficultyhas now almost doubled compared to the monsoon season last year, while block rewards have halved, meaning it is more difficult to mine, with less rewards. Bitcoin miners that have entered the market since last year have to wait much longer to see a return on their investment in mining hardware and facilities.\nThomas Heller, global business director of mining pool F2Pool, summarized the situation in a recentblog post: “We’re halfway through 2020 and the mining industry has already faced several enormous challenges.”\n“Miners had to battle off the macroeconomic black swan of March, pass through the smoke of the halving and a pandemic, and now they’re gearing up for the rest of the year’s competitive battlefield,” he wrote.\nA year with a bitcoin halving and global epidemic rolled into one, it’s truly one of a kind.\nRelated:Marine Corps Bans Crypto Mining Apps From Government-Issued Mobile Devices\nRead more:Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Sets New Record High 2 Months After Halving\nMany miners expected bitcoin’s price to rise sharply after the halving, said Kevin Pan, CEO and co-founder of the China-based PoolIn, one of the two biggest bitcoin mining pools in the world (along with F2Pool).\n“In reality, not only there was not much price momentum driven by halving, there came themega sell-off on March 12, which caused a large scale of forced liquidation and loss,” he said.\nFor two months after halving, bitcoin’s price largely remained static around $9,000. Although it jumped above $10,000 last week and is now changing hands over $11,000, it is still at a similar price level seen at this time last year.\nIn contrast, the network’s mining difficulty rose to an all-time-level within two months after halving. It’s now almost twice as difficult to mine bitcoin compared to last July, while block rewards have halved.\nWithout a significant price breakout, bitcoin miner’s daily revenue has dropped by 70% compared to last year, said Pan, although the recent bitcoin price jump has helped improving the situation.\nIndeed, Bitinfochart’s datashowsbitcoin’s daily mining revenue was around $0.33 per one terahashes second (TH/s) of computing power in July 2019. It has since then declined to now around $0.1 per TH/s.\nMeanwhile, asurgein interest and investment in bitcoin mining since last year have led to a surplus of newly constructed mining facilities in China.\nIn April, the oversupply issue had already shifted the hosting business from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, with mining farms generally offering a 20% electricity discount compared to last year.\nPan estimates that during this rainy season, 20% to 30% of mining facility capacity in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces still remains unused.\nRead more:China’s Rainy Season Is Coming. This Time Bitcoin Miners Aren’t Investing\nTo be clear, bitcoin miners and mining farms can still make a profit. But they have to endure a much longer period than expected to break even on their investments.\nA payback period of six months to a year used to be common for bitcoin miners in China, but if bitcoin maintains its current prices around $11,000, that could be extended to as long as two years.\n“In the eyes of many old Chinese miners, the electricity price right now is not only lower than the similar situation of the halving and hydro season in 2016, but also even lower than the electricity prices during the 2015 bear market,” said Heller of F2Pool.\nLower electricity may be appealing to miners, but it also means mining farm operators are facing an “unprecedented investment challenge” as the business shifted to a buyer’s market, Heller said.\nDespite this year’s tough market environment, some are still bullish over the long term and are rolling out products to attract investors. Jiang Zhuo’er, CEO and founder of mining pool BTC.Top who also runs his own mining farms, recently launched joint-mining contracts dubbed B.top.\nIt essentially sells mining equipment by TH/s and farm electricity at cost to retailers who want to participate in mining. The company will not charge customers hosting and management fees until the mining profits they receive break even on their investment.\nHashAge and Heng Jia, two long-running bitcoin mining farm operators with over a dozen facilities in Sichuan, also announced a partnership with Chinese crypto lending startup Babel last Friday.\nFlex Yang, CEO and co-founder of Babel, said the firm is allocating up to $50 million inUSDTas a loan for those who choose to host their miners at HashAge and Heng Jia’s facilities.\nIn contrast to previous crypto loans that require borrowers to pledge bitcoin as collateral, this new partnership accepts debtors’ miners hosted at HashAge and Heng Jia as collateral.\nThis effort is also one of the industry’s first in terms of treating specialized mining equipment, known as ASIC miners, as a tradable asset in crypto-based debt financing.\nLuxor, a U.S.-based mining pool, rolled out a bitcoinhashrate price indexearlier last month in an effort to provide better transparency into the traditionally opaque market of how much bitcoin mining equipment is changing hands.\nBut rain cuts both ways for the mining industry. Flooding in China is among the worst in decades, and hasaffectedover 50 million residents, with nearly four million people displaced and over 150 dead or missing.\nThe good news is it could have been much worse. Pan said the flood has so far mainly affected the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river.\nSince most mining farms in Sichuan and Yunnan are located along the upper reaches in the mountain area, which are some 1,200 km, or 800 miles, away from the middle reaches, there are fewer instances where facilities are directly flooded due to the rainfall.\nBut Pan said there have been more regular instances of mining farms’ hydropower plants temporarily cutting off electricity generation because the increasing water reserve levels would otherwise cause pressure on the dam.\nThe places that are suffering the most severe damage so far are provinces in Central China including Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and Anhui provinces, asillustratedin this multimedia article from the South China Morning Post.\nJohnson Xu, chief analyst at Beijing-based research startup TokenInsight, said mining farm operators nowadays are more experienced in choosing the right location for construction, after witnessing events in previous years where facilities were destroyed by floods and mudslides.\n“Chinese mining farms have already conducted thorough due diligence to pick the locations where potential flooding risk is minimal,” so the floods haven’t caused a major impact on the mining community, said Xu.\nRead more:Bitcoin Miners Halt Operations as Rainstorm Triggers Mudslides in China\nAnother reason why there are too many bitcoin mining farms is thepushby local governments in Sichuan for establishing the so-called “Demonstration Zone for Utilizing Excessive Hydropower Electricity” since late last year.\nMining farms and hydropower plants that choose to be based in these industrial parks can typically enjoy a stable operational environment with a steady and cheap power supply. In return, they give a portion of their profits to local governments as well as China’s State Grid, the state-owned utility monopoly.\nIn previous years, many mining farms in Sichuan and Yunnan have been using what’s called “direct-supply” electricity. That means power plants sell electricity directly to mining farm operators without having to share the profits with other parties.\nAs local governments have stepped up efforts to rectify the “direct-supply” model adopted by many power plants, this has created a sort of tug of war among local governments, hydropower plants as well as the State Grid, Pan said.\nSome bitcoin mining farm operators using “direct-supply” electricity wish to sell their facilities at a low valuation given tough market conditions. This tug-of-war will continue to be a risk factor for potential investors in those mining farms.\n“Overall, the latest regulatory policies in China tend to have a negative impact on those unregulated smaller mining farms, but positive towards firms who meet the local regulatory requirements,” Xu added.\n• The 2020 Rainy Season Is Tougher Than Ever for China’s Bitcoin Miners\n• The 2020 Rainy Season Is Tougher Than Ever for China’s Bitcoin Miners', 'The rain has come. The machines are humming. This should be the best time of the year for China’s bitcoin miners. The monsoon season, generally from June to October, brings excessive rain and thus cheap hydro electricity. But this year is different, proving to be harder than ever for China’s bitcoin miners and mining farm operators who are estimated to dominate 65% of the global multi-billion dollar bitcoin mining industry. Since last summer, many mining farm operators rushed to build new facilities in China’s southwestern region in anticipation of a dramatic price rise with bitcoin’s halving.

The seizure of funds, which were controlled by a New Zealand-registered company, is said to be the largest in the country’s history by federal police. The force’s Asset Recovery Unit moved to freeze the funds amid a global investigation into the activities of the exchange and its operators,according to a reportby news source NZ Herald. U.S. prosecutors have alleged that Vinnik controlled BTC-e, abitcoinexchange used to launder billions of dollars for criminal enterprises. Vinnik, who has been denying the charges forup to three years, was arrested based on extradition orders from the U.S. while on holiday with family in Greece in 2017.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.38% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 1.52% gain from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,184.0. It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $11,396.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,474, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $11,003.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,961, Bitcoin briefly revisited $11,260 levels before falling back into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Tuesday. Tezos rallied by 6.32% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.95%), Bitcoin Cash SC (+5.76%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.42%), Ethereum (+0.92%), Stellar’s Lumen (+5.51%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.35%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-2.10%), EOS (-0.53%), Litecoin (-1.54%), Monero’s XMR (-2.32%), and Ripple’s XRP (-2.90%) saw red on the day. At the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $323.12bn to a Monday high $345.20bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $333.57bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell from a Monday high 62.43% to a Tuesday low 61.21%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.74%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.26% to $11,155.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,213.1 to a low $11.085.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.03%. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tezos (-2.93%), Stellar’s Lumen (-2.86%), and Ripple’s XRP (-2.64%) led the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $11,194 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,386. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,300 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $11,396 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,587. Expect plenty of resistance at $11,500, however. Failure to move through the $11,194 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $10,993 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,800 levels on the day. The second major support level at $10,801 should limit any downside.

The worlds largest cryptocurrency fell to as low as $8,900 on some exchanges before it established a level of support above $9,000. The dramatic 4.82% move to the downside comes after six weeks of stagnant price action beneath $10,000 despite two failed attempts at breaking above $10,500. The lack of recent volatility indicates that price is coiling up ahead of a major move in the coming weeks, although it seems more unlikely that it will break $10,500. Whats more likely is a further correction to the downside with $8,830 and $7,800 being two key levels of support to look out for. With the hype of optimism surrounding the recent halving now having subsided, Bitcoin needs a fundamental catalyst if it wants to drive towards a new all-time high in 2020. Whether it be increased retail adoption or institutional investment remains unclear, but what is clear is that buyers are showing signs of exhaustion in this current range. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading at $9,102, a break below $8,900 on significant volume would set up an initial move to $8,150 that could extend as far as $7,800 depending on the amount of liquidations on derivative exchanges.

WEI means extraordinary and WEI Art Collections is again set to excite the creative industry with their latest multi-million-dollar contemporary private art collection to celebrate blockchain technology. The new series is an unprecedented fusion of crypto-currency and art.\nWEI Art Collections has carved a niche for creating the finest, most extraordinary abstract, contemporary, and crypto art. With a team of talented and well-respected artists from different parts of the world, representing numerous cultural, ethnic, and racially diverse creative talent, the platform has provided art collectors as well as corporate and technology leaders with an opportunity to acquire exclusive works of art from the WEI Art Collections series.\nThe WEI Art Collections Innovation Series are specifically put together for crypto-currency whales, art buyers, and advocates of the blockchain technology. The series also has its obvious appeal to professionals in the financial sector. The latest collection is coming at the most ideal time, with the world rapidly embracing the features and benefits of crypto-currency and blockchain technology.\nIn the fall of 2018, Adam Lindemann stated in an article in Bloomberg news by Katya Kazakina (https://bloom.bg/3eYwpla) on November 29 as follows: "Everyone is talking about blockchain, but no one really understands it." Adam is a billionaire and abstract contemporary art collector, amongst the world\'s leading art collectors. He noted, "This is the right time to think about art and tech."\nAs the mp3 file undeniably influenced and redefined how the world listens to music, blockchain technology is about to be applied in numerous industries. The use of crypto-currency has become increasingly popular in recent times, with experts predicting growth to the tune of tens of trillions of dollars in the near future. The International Monetary Fund has also substantiated the claim, commenting on the advantages, stability crypto-currency values will enjoy as world economies, and fiat currencies continue to falter. However, the creative industry has been seemingly silent on the subject of crypto-currency and this is where WEI Art Collections is looking to change the narrative with the WEI Art Collections Innovation Series.\nWEI Art Collections initially features the top three of the most prominent crypto-currencies destined for global dominance in the blockchain, global banking, and financial industries.

Related:The COVID-19 E-Commerce Boom Hasn't Trickled Down to Bitcoin, Despite Advantages “They can attack very quickly,” Dolev said of CryptoCore, which he claimed once deployed an attack just 12 hours after registering fresh domain names. “They’re not a big group, maybe three to four people … a small but effective operation.” So far, ClearSky estimates the cyber criminal group stole $200 million over the past two years. Other firms have called the same group different names, such as “Leery Turtle.” Or Blatt, ClearSky’s threat intelligence team leader, said he believes the alleged thieves are rogues without military training or support. He described the attacks as “much less sophisticated” than ones conducted by Russian military intelligence officers indicted for influencingAmerican electionswhile usingbitcoinin 2016. “They are cyber criminals and we know of other similar cybercrime groups,” Blatt said. “In order for such an attack to succeed, usually the [crypto exchange] employees need to be vulnerable to social engineering … [We] didn’t see this attacker exploiting VPN [virtual private networks], for example, which is something we often see with other groups.” Related:Market Wrap: A Sea of Red Across Markets as Bitcoin Drops to $9.2K Dolev said crypto exchanges that don’t use the same level of security practices as banks are vulnerable to such attacks. The report details how the hacker group allegedly gained access to several exchange executives’ private email accounts, then used spear-phishing – impersonating a high-ranking employee – “either from the target company itself or from a company that deals with the target,” to acquire information that grants access to crypto wallets. Nicholas Percoco, head of security at the crypto exchange Kraken, said, “We routinely see attempts through multiple attack vectors, including social engineering attempts,” so his company often shares information with other exchanges targeted by such criminal campaigns. Ignoring CryptoCore specifically (Kraken was not mentioned in ClearSky’s report), Percoco said it is common for such cyber criminals to target several institutions in the same sector, especially the individuals who work at exchanges. The concept of such a social engineering campaign, as ClearSky described, makes sense to Percoco. This is why Kraken’s security chief said, in addition to technical controls, he focuses on training sessions across the staff because you “can’t patch a human.” Plus,Kraken Security Labsroutinely tries to penetrate the exchange system and find vulnerabilities, he said. “We will take all our employees, executives included, through extensive security training,” Percoco said. “We go very deep about home network security, social network security, even their own personal device security.” Dolev warned that, especially considering the mass exodus to remote work caused by COVID-19, crypto exchanges face a “higher risk” in 2020. Indeed, Blatt added that CryptoCore appears to be more active since the coronavirus crisis began. “If you put your money on an exchange, you don’t know if it’s secure or not,” Dovel concluded. • Security Firm Claims One Group Stole $200M in Numerous Exchange Hacks • Security Firm Claims One Group Stole $200M in Numerous Exchange Hacks... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Dezhitse', "Why Osana takes so long?

It turned into a long essay. Here's TL;DR of it:\n\n>The cost of never paying down this technical debt is clear; eventually the cost to deliver functionality will become so slow that it is easy for a well-designed competitive software product to overtake the badly-designed software in terms of features. In my experience, badly designed software can also lead to a more stressed engineering workforce, in turn leading higher staff churn (which in turn affects costs and productivity when delivering features). Additionally, due to the complexity in a given codebase, the ability to accurately estimate work will also disappear. \n> \n>Junade Ali, Mastering PHP Design Patterns (2016)\n\nLonger version: I am not sure if people here wanted an explanation from a real developer who works with C and with relatively large projects, but I am going to do it nonetheless. I am not much interested in Yandere Simulator nor in this genre in general, but this particular development has a lot to learn from for any fellow programmers and software engineers to ensure that they'll never end up in Alex's situation, especially considering that he is definitely not the first one to got himself knee-deep in the development hell (do you remember [Star Citizen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Citizen)?) and he is definitely not the last one.\n\nOn the one hand, people see that Alex works incredibly slowly, equivalent of, like, one hour per day, comparing it with, say, Papers, Please, the game that was developed in nine months from start to finish by one guy. On the other hand, Alex himself most likely thinks that he works until complete exhaustion each day. In fact, I highly suspect that both those sentences are correct! Because of the mistakes made during early development stages, which are highly unlikely to be fixed due to the pressure put on the developer right now and due to his overall approach to coding, cost to add any relatively large feature (e.g. Osana) can be pretty much comparable to the cost of creating a fan game from start to finish. Trust me, I've seen his leaked source code ~~(don't tell anybody about that)~~ and I know what I am talking about. The largest problem in Yandere Simulator right now is its super slow development. So, without further ado, let's talk about how «implementing the low hanging fruit» crippled the development and, more importantly, what would have been an ideal course of action from my point of view to get out. I'll try to explain things in the easiest terms possible.\n\n1. [else if's](https://i.ibb.co/GQrZ6rM/2h7wdn8p70e51.png) and lack any sort of refactoring in general\n\nThe most «memey» one. I won't talk about the performance though (`switch` statement is not better in terms of performance, it is a myth. If compiler detects some code that can be turned into a jump table, for example, it will do it, no matter if it is a chain of `if`'s or a `switch` statement. Compilers nowadays are way smarter than one might think). Just take a look [here](https://i.ibb.co/pnsw63m/elseif-before-refactoring.png). I know that it's his older JavaScript code, but, believe it or not, this piece is still present in C# version relatively untouched.\n\nI [refactored this code for you](https://i.ibb.co/r7txC00/ref1.png) using C language (mixed with C++ since there's no `this` pointer in pure C). Take a note that `else if`'s are still there, `else if`'s are not the problem by itself.\n\nThe refactored code is just objectively better for one simple reason: it is shorter, while not being obscure, and now it should be able to handle, say, Trespassing and Blood case without any input from the developer due to the usage of [flags](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_field). Basically, the shorter your code, the more you can see on screen without spreading your attention too much. As a rule of thumb, the less lines there are, the easier it is for you to work with the code. Just don't overkill that, unless you are going to participate in [International Obfuscated C Code Contest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Obfuscated_C_Code_Contest). Let me reiterate:\n\n>Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. \n> \n>Antoine de Saint-Exupéry\n\nThis is why refactoring — activity of rewriting your old code so it does the same thing, but does it quicker, in a more generic way, in less lines or simpler — is so powerful. In my experience, you can only keep one module/class/whatever in your brain if it does not exceed \\~1000 lines, maybe \\~1500. Splitting 17000-line-long class into smaller classes probably won't improve performance at all, but it will make working with parts of this class way easier.\n\nIs it too late now to start refactoring? Of course NO: better late than never.\n\n2. [Comments](https://i.ibb.co/d0KrNr0/clown.jpg)\n\nIf you think that you wrote this code, so you'll always easily remember it, I have some bad news for you: you won't. In my experience, one week and that's it. That's why comments are so crucial. It is not necessary to put a ton of comments everywhere, but just a general idea will help you out in the future. Even if you think that It Just Works™ and you'll never ever need to fix it. Time spent to write and debug one line of code almost always exceeds time to write one comment in large-scale projects. Moreover, the best code is the code that is self-evident. In the example above, what the hell does `(float) 6` mean? Why not wrap it around into the constant with a good, self-descriptive name? Again, it won't affect performance, since C# compiler is smart enough to silently remove this constant from the real code and place its value into the method invocation directly. Such constants are here for you.\n\nI [rewrote my code above a little bit to illustrate this](https://i.ibb.co/L5XzCXq/ref2.png). With those comments, you don't have to remember your code at all, since its functionality is outlined in two tiny lines of comments above it. Moreover, even a person with zero knowledge in programming will figure out the purpose of this code. It took me less than half a minute to write those comments, but it'll probably save me quite a lot of time of figuring out «what was I thinking back then» one day.\n\nIs it too late now to start adding comments? Again, of course NO. Don't be lazy and redirect all your typing from «debunk» page (which pretty much does the opposite of debunking, but who am I to judge you here?) into some useful comments.\n\n3. Unit testing\n\nThis is often neglected, but consider the following. You wrote some code, you ran your game, you saw a new bug. Was it introduced right now? Is it a problem in your older code which has shown up just because you have never actually used it until now? Where should you search for it? You have no idea, and you have one painful debugging session ahead. Just imagine how easier it would be if you've had some routines which automatically execute after each build and check that environment is still sane and nothing broke on a fundamental level. This is called unit testing, and yes, unit tests won't be able to catch all your bugs, but even getting 20% of bugs identified at the earlier stage is a huge boon to development speed.\n\nIs it too late now to start adding unit tests? Kinda YES and NO at the same time. Unit testing works best if it covers the majority of project's code. On the other side, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you decide to start refactoring your code, writing a unit test before refactoring will help you to prove to yourself that you have not broken anything without the need of running the game at all.\n\n4. [Static code analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_program_analysis)\n\nThis is basically pretty self-explanatory. You set this thing once, you forget about it. Static code analyzer is another «free estate» to speed up the development process by finding tiny little errors, mostly silly typos (do you think that you are good enough in finding them? Well, good luck catching `x << 4;` in place of `x <<= 4;` buried deep in C code by eye!).

You need every little bit of help here.\n\nIs it too late now to hook up static code analyzer? Obviously NO.\n\n5. Code architecture\n\nSay, you want to build Osana, but then you decided to implement some feature, e.g. Snap Mode. By doing this you have maybe made your game a little bit better, but what you have just essentially done is complicated your life, because now you should also write Osana code for Snap Mode. The way game architecture is done right now, easter eggs code is deeply interleaved with game logic, which leads to code «spaghettifying», which in turn slows down the addition of new features, because one has to consider how this feature would work alongside each and every old feature and easter egg. Even if it is just gazing over one line per easter egg, it adds up to the mess, slowly but surely.\n\nA lot of people mention that developer should have been doing it in object-oritented way.

Today's Key News: ['The U.S. Senate confirmed Securities and Exchange Commission commissioner Hester Peirce for a second term in a voice vote on Thursday. The Senate Banking Committee cleared Peirce\'s nomination alongside the nomination of Caroline Crenshaw on Wednesday . Peirce took office in 2018 and was formally nominated for a second term in early June. Peirce\'s second term will expire in 2025. Peirce is likely to continue advancing policy goals that have drawn cheers from the crypto industry, including her advocacy for the approval of a bitcoin ETF \x97 efforts to date have been stymied amid concerns about price manipulation and the lack of surveillance-sharing agreements across major marketplaces. In February, Peirce wrote in a dissenting statement about the agency\'s rejection of the United States Bitcoin and Treasury Investment Trust: "The Commission\'s approach to these bitcoin exchange-traded products is frustrating because it evinces a stubborn stodginess in the face of innovation." That same month, Peirce unveiled a safe harbor regulatory proposal for startups that conduct token sales. In exchange for giving token projects a three-year period in which to develop their networks and pursue a path of decentralization, such startups would be required to adhere to disclosure standards and SEC oversight. In a statement published Thursday night, SEC chairman Jay Clayton and fellow commissioners Elad Roisman and Allison Herren Lee congratulated Peirce and Crenshaw. "On behalf of our 4,500 dedicated colleagues, we applaud their long standing commitment to investors and look forward to their continued work to advance the SEC\'s vital mission of protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation," they said. © 2020 The Block Crypto, Inc.

After he sued Lovecruft for defamation, two anonymous women detailed accounts of sexual assault by Todd in court filings. On July 15, 2019, Lovecruft filed an anti-SLAPP motion, asking the court to dismiss Todd’s lawsuit as an attempt to curtail free speech. On Tuesday, without deleting the original tweet, Lovecruft also tweeted , “Peter Todd never raped or sexually assaulted me.” Lovecruft’s GoFundMe page says this tweet was required as part of the settlement. Todd cited hefty legal fees as his primary reason for settling the case, which he initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland, in April 2019 . “I settled because I ran out of money. I’d rather have kept the case. But the really important thing was to turn vague allegations – which were surprisingly harmful – into something I could actually respond to,” Todd told CoinDesk. “Isis has been making vague claims.” Lovecruft used GoFundMe to crowdsource roughly $35,800 for legal fees. They also accepted cryptocurrency donations, including bitcoin , monero and several others. Lovecruft’s crowdfunding page offers an ambiguous statement: “The basic terms of the settlement are: Todd agreed to dismiss his lawsuit against Lovecruft, and walk away without any financial recovery, in exchange for a statement by Lovecruft clarifying that they do not assert (as they have never asserted) that Todd raped or sexually assaulted them personally.” This would relate to the claim of arm-grabbing, not the sexual assault allegations by the two anonymous accusers, both identified in court papers as “Jane Doe.” In a statement to CoinDesk, Todd said Lovecruft and one male witness had a conflict of interest because both were involved in the Zcash project, which Todd often criticizes. Story continues Related: Ex-Bitcoin Dev Settles Defamation Suit Over Sex Assault Claims The two Jane Does made filings in the case in support of Lovecruft. One claimed she was assaulted by Todd, the other alleged he raped her. Todd denied both charges and contended that neither woman was “involved in any Bitcoin projects,” which he argued undermined the credibility of their accounts. Both Jane Does, in interviews with CoinDesk , said they used to participate in the broader Bitcoin community but stopped after the alleged incidents. In previous communications with CoinDesk, both alleged victims indicated they wanted to move on with their lives and did not seek to press charges or otherwise publicly discuss the accusations. This legal conflict was entirely between Lovecruft and Todd , the latter of whom claimed the settlement represents a victory . Yet Lovecruft hasn’t deleted the original tweet, which sparked the lawsuit, and did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

The global need for scalable, usable decentralized information technologies has never been more acute than right now, mid-pandemic. Forced digitalization is driving most of the world’s population further into the grip of big tech companies. As more of life goes online, more of the world’s data goes into their hands, and a higher percentage of human thoughts and behaviors are guided by their self-serving algorithms.

However, integrated doesn’t have to mean centralized. Indeed, the centralized nature of many track-and-trace apps has been their doom , rendering them mostly non-functional due their incompatibility with Google and Apple’s latest privacy-respecting features. See also: For Contact Tracing to Work, Americans Will Have to Trust Google and Apple A recent survey done by my colleagues at Humanity+, a nonprofit that advocates for ethical use of technology, showed that, of the attendees at their online event, 61% were not comfortable with governments collecting their physiological and medical data, even in a pandemic context. But 92% would rather their medical data be stored on a blockchain, than centralized government databases. We should have a global, decentralized system for collecting medical, movement, interaction and lifestyle data from everyone on the planet – and methods to analyze it in a secure, anonymous way. Statistical and AI analysis should be guided democratically by everyone contributing data. While policy could be set by sophisticated agent-based modeling leveraging this data, without sacrificing privacy. Related: The Fourth Era of Blockchain Governance We are not so far off from realizing such a system. A number of relevant tools were created by the 1,000+ developers participating in the COVIDathon decentralized-AI hackathon against COVID this spring. Part of my AI team at SingularityNET set aside their work temporarily to focus on building the Rejuve COVID App that identifies infections early based on data from smartphone peripherals like fitbits and digital thermometers as well as relevant policy decisions like the opening/closing of schools and restaurants. Story continues It’s clear that the centralized systems currently running the planet are not to be trusted to coordinate the next growth phase of humanity However valuable these efforts are, the decentralized software ecosystem is not at the point where it can be used as the default for carrying out all aspects of pandemic management. COVID-19 will be beaten relatively soon, and my hope is that decentralized tools will play a role in the solution, even if not a dominant one.\xa0This is unlikely to be the last nor worst pandemic, nor the last nor worst crisis, to hit humanity.\xa0I’m hopeful the decentralized tools being built today will be pivotal in whatever comes next.

The nations top commodities regulator, who recently marked his first anniversary at the CFTC, detailed his approach to cryptocurrency in a wide-ranging interview with CoinDesk. Tarbert noted that many of cryptos unique attributes namely borderlessness and decentralization require a thoughtful approach. Our entire financial and economic system outside the current system, the non-crypto system basically evolved since, one could argue, the Renaissance in Italy, he said. Whereas what people are doing in the digital asset space is effectively building within a decade or less an entire economic system based on human incentives and trust I just find that fascinating. Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin's Price and Ether's Dominance Sit at 2020 Highs Tarbert specified that he is interested in the way developers are incorporating hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge about human behavior and economic incentives as well as cryptographic methods originally used in national security applications to build these digital commerce systems.

When you think about the idea that at some point a large part of our financial system could very well exist in blockchain format, thats also revolutionary, he said. Building out Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Blasts Past $10,000; Ethereum Fees Up 550% in 2020 Tarbert took office on July 15, 2019, coming to the regulatory agency from the U.S. Treasury Department, where he served as Assistant Secretary for International Markets. He said that while he was familiar with bitcoin and digital assets prior to joining the agency, I quickly found out that this is such a rapidly changing environment that I needed to really bone up on. Story continues While many aspects of the crypto and fintech spaces arent currently under the CFTCs jurisdiction, some new products might someday fall into the derivatives space. So Tarbert needs to learn about much more than just bitcoin. My view is that to be a successful CFTC chairman, meaning regulating the derivatives market, you have to have [a] keen understanding of the underlying market, he said. And so Ive tried to learn as much as I can about the various agricultural sectors. Ive gone out into fields and gone to grain elevators, Ive gone to a feedlot to learn about cattle and wheat. Im learning about oil but Im also learning a lot about crypto and in many ways, because its so revolutionary and so cutting edge, Im spending a lot of time just learning how it all works in the ecosystem.

Tarbert pointed to the elevation of LabCFTC , the agencys fintech wing, noting it had grown from being a small group within the CFTCs general counsels office to becoming its own division. In the months since, the CFTC has declared ether a commodity , allowed the first ether-based futures products to enter the market and approved actual delivery guidance that explains to exchanges when the CFTC has jurisdiction and brought numerous enforcement actions, Tarbert said. The next challenge is building out a holistic regulatory framework for crypto and its derivatives markets in the coming years. I suspect some of it will be principles-based and some of it will be more specific rules the right blend of each to allow for innovation and also flexibility both for market participants but also for ourselves because we dont want a regulatory framework to be obsolete six months after its introduced, but at the same time, there may be customer protection and maybe some other issues that are so important that we want to provide very clear standards and rules to provide clarity, he said. Novel questions Tarbert said the planned framework, announced earlier this month , wont be a prescriptive one, but a holistic approach that looks at how the agency regulates derivatives markets. This will require the CFTC to evaluate how it looks at exchanges, clearinghouses and other market intermediaries, and how its core principles apply or should apply to the space. We have some things listed on exchanges, but most of those, theyre either cash-settled products or they are fully collateralized, he said. So we actually havent gotten into a system where we actually have physically delivered digital asset products that have the kind of margining and practices associated with them as we do other futures contracts and even swaps. The CFTC doesnt want to over- or under-regulate the space, he said. We have rules regarding custody of assets, so how do we handle custody and settlement? Tarbert said. We know how to do it with traditional physical assets and with cash but how do we do that with digital assets? Capital requirements, segregating customer assets with broker assets, market intermediary reporting and bankruptcy are other issues that need to be addressed within this framework, he said. Pricing risk for crypto asset derivatives sold on margin is another area the CFTC is examining. Read more: What the CFTC Chairman Actually Said About Ether Futures and Ethereum 2.0 What about if theres a failure? he asked. Non-default loss at the clearinghouse, meaning the clearinghouse loses money not because one of the members fails but, rather, it loses custody of these assets or it loses the keys or something, and then what role should insurance play? This extends to infrastructure and physical hardware questions, and whether the CFTC should replicate its current regulations for the digital asset market or try to fit digital assets into an already existing framework. These issues illustrate the need for a flexible framework, Tarbert said, one which takes into account these major questions but can still be applied flexibly as different aspects of the crypto space evolve. As an added wrinkle, the CFTC wont know for sure if its framework is effective until its implemented. Youre dealing with a counterfactual, so you cant say, well, how would things have evolved if we didnt have this framework in place? The answer is, its a really important process but it needs to happen, he said. The G20s Financial Stability Board underwent a similar process and the U.S. Treasury Department had to create rules around capital controls after the 2008 financial crisis as well, so Tarberts not a stranger to this type of challenge. Its a very difficult question, but I think we owe it both to ourselves as well as market participants that after a reasonable period of, lets say five years, we take a look back and say, what are we doing right, what did we do wrong and what changes need to be made, he said. Its easier said than done, but it does need to be done. Borderless The CFTC also has to contend with the fact that crypto is inherently borderless. Market participants and developers all hail from different jurisdictions, and many live outside the U.S. The U.S. should harmonize its approach to crypto both across the 50 states and additional territories, as well as with how other nations are approaching it, Tarbert said, likening the new asset class to other commodities under its jurisdiction. Commodities are commodities all around the world, right? Wheat is wheat and so the commodity prices and the derivatives prices based on those commodities around the world are all interconnected, he said. Well now we take digital assets, crypto assets and there they are uniform. And people are not thinking about regulatory and national boundaries, by definition, this stuff is outside of it. Read more: CFTC Seeks Industry Advice on Blockchain Applications The CFTC joined the Global Financial Innovation Network as one step in this process, collaborating with regulators worldwide to share ideas about financial innovation. The agency is also part of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), where Tarbert is the current vice-chairman. Other international efforts include the Financial Stability Board, which has a working group on stablecoins (cryptocurrencies which maintain price parity with a fiat currency or asset like the U.S. dollar) and the Financial Action Task Force, which published guidance on crypto exchanges last year. In his view, future international standards around crypto will be as important to this community as the Basel Accords developed across the past 30 years are to the banking sector today. Thats not to say there shouldnt be a national regulatory regime, Tarbet said. But I think theres a real acknowledgement from national regulators that there needs to be enhanced international cooperation and thinking, and to some extent if at all possible, some degree of convergence, he said.

Who controls Bitcoin? A hint: It\x92s not you. And it\x92s a far cry from the decentralized utopia many claim it to be. Systems of power are rapidly asserting control over Bitcoin. And their incentives are not your incentives. As an industry, we\x92re at a critical juncture, and we have to choose. We either demand that the properties of user ownership and censorship resistance pioneered by Bitcoin persist. Or, we accept the facade of false-decentralization that has been erected by a centralized regime. Our revolution is being stolen, but it\x92s not too late to take it back. Related: Blockchain Bites: Inside Cosmos, Bitcoin at $200B, DeFi Surges First, let\x92s take a look at who controls the Bitcoin blockchain. Sixty-five percent of its hashrate is in one country: China. Globally, about 10 different organizations control 90% of the hashpower. The big pools are all linked together with dedicated networking connections. If I described to you a council of 10 companies dictating the future of a product, and more than half are in China and beholden to a centralized government, would you call that decentralized? No, but that\x92s the state of Bitcoin today. See also: Justin S. Wales \x96 Why Bitcoin Is Protected by the First Amendment Maybe you don\x92t care.

There are countless examples in history of misplaced trust in a centralized authority. Some of those authorities were beloved revolutionaries, leaders, countrymen and members of their community. Everyone thought, \x93They love their country, they won\x92t do anything to cause it harm.\x94 Story continues Robert Mugabe, the former dictator of Zimbabwe for 30 years, started his career as a beloved political revolutionary. He was instrumental in gaining independence from colonial rule. At the time, it would have been hard to think of someone who loved his country more. But that was at the beginning, before he amassed centralized authority. He ended his career causing mass starvation and social upheaval because of brutal, misinformed and, ultimately, failed social and monetary policies.

Without checks against centralized power, what remains is to trust it will all be ok. And it never is. So, why would this time be any different? Because Bitcoin is somehow inherently different? Because the person, or people, who created it had revolutionary ideas? Come on.

Related: In the Aftermath of Hack, Lawmakers Blame Twitter, Not Bitcoin On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency slid 0.5% to about $9,200, even as reports emerged that a bitcoin “giveaway” scam was at the heart of a coordinated hack targeting accounts of prominent Twitter users , including former U.S. President Barack Obama and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. “Even if there is a small percentage of bitcoin that is used for illicit activity, investors now understand this is no different than cash, except that digital currencies are much more traceable,” Joe DiPasquale, CEO of BitBull Capital, told First Mover in an email. Bitcoin was designed by Satoshi Nakamoto as a peer-to-peer payment method, a version of electronic cash that would “allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another,” according to the white paper . But a new report suggests bitcoin’s original core payments function might be increasingly fulfilled by a competing faction of digital tokens – so-called stablecoins like tether and USD coin , which have values linked to the price of the U.S. dollar. Related: Market Wrap: What Twitter Hack? Traders Stay Busy Buying Bitcoin at $9,000 Story continues Stablecoins, invented five years ago, have expanded rapidly this year, doubling in the past four months to an outstanding supply of about $12 billion. Cryptocurrency traders use them as the de facto form of liquidity in digital-asset markets, to move money between exchanges and park cash on the sidelines. Investors can lend out the dollar-linked tokens for yields up to 13% , more than 20 times the level on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes. Some holders might simply want U.S. dollars as a safe haven as the coronavirus roils the global economy. Recently, though, more people might be using stablecoins to send each other payments, according to a report this week published jointly by cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp and research firm Coin Metrics. The analysts noted that the daily transfer value of stablecoins recently surged past $2 billion, while bitcoin’s slid to just below $2 billion. Global remittances and cross-border payments are a “natural use case for stablecoins given their ease of international transfer,” they wrote. “It feels like a little bit of a paradigm shift, especially now that stablecoins are exploding,” Nate Maddrey, a senior research analyst at Coin Metrics, said in a phone interview. The sudden popularity of stablecoins could raise knotty questions over the utility of bitcoin , which is the oldest cryptocurrency, at 11 years, and the biggest by far, at a market capitalization of $170 billion. Maddrey believes bitcoin’s value proposition has changed over the years: Many investors are buying it because they see the cryptocurrency as a store of value, similar to gold, and as the linchpin of the world’s most secure blockchain network. Because of its capped supply, bitcoin is often posited as a hedge against inflation and central-bank money printing. “I don’t really see a path where bitcoin becomes a true medium of exchange,” Maddrey said. The rise of stablecoins marks a new chapter in fast-moving and ever-evolving cryptocurrency markets. A thousand flowers are blooming as entrepreneurs unveil semi-autonomous “ decentralized finance ” projects, financial firms prepare to tokenize traditional assets like U.S. Treasury bonds and foreign-exchange contracts , and Facebook pushes forward with its own digital token, Libra . PayPal, the payments company, has told the European Commission it’s developing cryptocurrency capabilities. Countries around the world are developing their own tokens, known as central bank digital currencies, or CDBCs, which could eventually provide another option for peer-to-peer payments. Just this week, reports have emerged that both Japan and the U.K. are considering digital versions of their currencies. While the Federal Reserve has yet to unveil its own version, some countries with exchange rates pegged or closely linked to the dollar might be able to create CBDCs that work like proxies for the U.S. tender. That might curb the appetite for stablecoins, many of them issued by upstart companies with scant corporate transparency and untested creditworthiness. “Would you rather I sent you a stablecoin or a CBDC backed by a sovereign nation whose currency is pegged to the dollar?” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the digital-asset firm Diginex , said in a video interview. “I’d rather receive a sovereign-backed CBDC.” Blockforce Capital , a cryptocurrency investment firm based in San Diego, wrote Wednesday in a monthly investor update that, at least for now, there’s good money to be made from lending out or depositing stablecoins. “Stablecoins are proving their utility in the digital-asset ecosystem,” according to the email. “Our traditional finance friends are often shocked to hear that as interest rates sink lower and even negative in some cases, we manage to earn close to 8% as we lend out stablecoins to high-quality counterparties.” On the other hand, holding stablecoins is essentially the reverse of betting on assets that are denominated in dollars, from stocks to bonds to oil and bitcoin. The Federal Reserve this year has pumped nearly $3 trillion of freshly created dollars into financial markets, propping up asset prices. “Holding dollars is no fun when assets are mooning,” Mati Greenspan, founder of the analysis firm Quantum Economics, wrote in an email. But, hey, maybe some people might just want to send stablecoins to a pal. Tweet of the day Bitcoin watch BTC : Price: $9,085 ( BPI ) \| 24-Hr High: $9,253 \| 24-Hr Low: $9,048 Trend : Bitcoin is edging lower on Thursday, with the four-hour chart indicating a failed breakout and fresh bearish lower-highs setup. The number one cryptocurrency by market value is currently trading near $9,080, representing a 1.3% decline on the day. A falling channel represented by trendlines connecting June 1 and 22 highs and June 2 and 15 lows was breached to the higher side on July 8. As such, the cryptocurrency was expected to chart a minor rally toward resistance at $9,800 (June 22 high). Instead, the cryptocurrency has ended up charting fresh bearish lower highs, as represented by the trendline connecting July 8 and 13 highs (yellow line). In addition, prices fell back inside the bearish channel early on Thursday – a sign of failed breakout. Chart analysts consider failed breakouts as strong bearish signals. Indicators, too, are beginning to realign in favor of the bears. The MACD histogram, an indicator used to identify trend strength and trend changes, is producing deeper bars below the zero line. It indicates the downward move may gather pace. Meanwhile, on the daily chart, the histogram has crossed into bearish territory below zero. Bitcoin may dive below $9,000 and test support at $8,830 (June 28 high). On the higher side, a high-volume move above $9,350 is needed to revive the case for a rally to $9,800.

I chose bitcoin because it is the most established cryptocurrency and with the higher chance of becoming a full fledge currency worldwide, being used by everyone (at least that’s what I think at the moment, I might be wrong here)\nI know that the practical limit for bitcoin is 21 million bitcoins and each bitcoin can be divided into 100 million satoshi.\nMy question is, assuming bitcoin takes over as a single global currency and everyone is using it, isn’t the total amount of satoshi too little? I mean, if you split the total amount of bitcoin by everyone in the world, each person receives a relative small amount of bitcoin (I did a rough estimate, and from my estimates, each person would have the equivalent of 30€ in bitcoin)\n\nThanks in advance for dedicating the time to this weird question :)\n\nEDIT: \n\nThank you all for the answers.\nLike it has been said I agree that the main obstacle for bitcoin to become the one currency on a global scale is politics because no one, in this case governments would like to loose control of their money.\n\nWith the increase in market cap and the subdivision of satoshi’s (part that I was unaware of), bitcoin could be used as the global currency because, at the same time, bitcoin would have enough “value” to represent the global economy and would be divisible enough to a reasonable value for cheap stuff like a bottle of water.\n\nThe main technical issue that I see at the moment is the difference to fiat in how bitcoin is stored (hardware wallets) and transferred between two entities (addresses and private keys). For me it is something that I am starting to understand but I think it would be close to impossible for the majority of people that are older / not so tech oriented. I haven’t yet bought bitcoin, just got a bit of exposure to it using Revolut and decided to explore it on a deeper level.\n\nOne other thing that was referred was that subdividing satoshi’s is similar to “printing” money and would lead to inflation. I understand why this is being said, because creating money or dividing the current supply into smaller amounts can be seen as having the same overall effect. I think that the key difference in the division of satoshi’s is that it is not controlled by a central authority. For example if a new base unit that corresponded to 1/100 of a satoshi was created, everyone would be affected equally. When money is being printed by a central bank or government, they are increasing their wealth by making everyone else poorer, since they are increasing the percentage of money they have (note that I am not an economist and this explanation probably is flawed).', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/i68cco/bitcoin_endgame/', 'i68cco', [['u/bitusher', 16, '2020-08-09 00:43', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/i68cco/bitcoin_endgame/g0u1t9l/', '>and each bitcoin can be divided into 100 million satoshi.\n\nEach satoshi can be divided into 1000 parts as well on the Bitcoin lightning network today.

Strongest of the theft package is the acolyte, because it's cheaper and it taunts.

Apologies to all ctrl warriors, stealing your Rattlegore made me smile like a fiend.\n\nCabal Shadow Priest is slower, and Madness doesn't leave a body, but these two cards also cause a great deal of fits.

So much so, thataccording to MarketingDive, global ad spending was expected to grow at 5%, reaching $600 billion by the end of 2019, nearly half of which was to come from digital ads. Apart from the direct use of technology, the boom in social media has significantly contributed to this growth. After all, advertisement is all about getting a brand in front of people: the more targeted, the better. With an expected3.43 billion global user base by 2023, social media platforms are some of the best resources to do so. But despite rapid growth and rising importance, there are dark sides to traditional models of advertising. The Pitfalls of Traditional Advertising According to Juniper Research, by 2020 marketers around the world could be losing around $44 billion to ad frauds — by far, the biggest problem with traditional advertising. This is largely due to the fact that the industry is highly centralized and opaque. Advertising agencies often act as intermediaries between advertisers and their audiences. Often, advertisers have to pay a hefty initial fee and a monthly subscription for running their advertisements. The advertiser has very little to no control over where their ads are placed or who clicks on them. Consequently, they bear the cost of the agency’s ineffective placement, while the overall advertising cost also ends up being significantly high. While social media is a major space for running ad campaigns, traditional methods do not encourage the platforms’ users to participate. The end-users of social media are seen merely as consumers and not contributors. To a great extent, this limits the scope of ad campaigns on platforms that mostly run on user-generated content. The Promise of Decentralized Advertising Most of the shortcomings of traditional advertising are due to the industry’s centralized nature. In this context, Distributed Ledger Technology, especiallyblockchain, enables a more user-centric approach to advertising. In blockchain advertising, advertisers can directly interact with end-users who, in turn, can contribute and monetize content and efforts towards an ad campaign. Before trying to understand this better with an example, let’s briefly outline the main benefits of using blockchain for advertising. First, the elimination of intermediaries results in reduced costs. Usually, a major share of ad spending pays for the fee and other charges of the intermediaries. By using blockchain, advertisers don’t need to rank high on Google, alleviating the vicious cycle of having to consistently invest time and money into ranking high on Google search. In turn, this also significantly widens the scope as advertisers are no more dependent solely on certain agencies or oligarchies. Second, with blockchain’s inherent transparency and security features (such as smart contracts), it’s possible to reinstate the consumer’s trust in advertising. Most importantly, this makes ad fraud virtually impossible, while making the industry more accountable as a whole. Third, in blockchain advertising, consumers have complete control over the data that they share with advertisers. Further, blockchain technology ensures that advertisers cannot use this data in any other way than what has been previously agreed upon. A Perfect Blockchain Advertising Case Study: The SaTT Platform TheSaTTsolution was developed byAtayen, Incand is an Ethereum-based platform that uses smart contracts and an ERC20 token to facilitate advertisements transactions. Apart from safe, instant, and automated transactions, the decentralized platform employs robust applications to transparently quantify campaign results. Using this incentivized platform, advertisers can launch campaigns in which other users can participate by sharing related content on their social networks. In return, they are rewarded with pre-determined SaTT tokens, which are based on several KPIs such as views, likes, and shares. All users on the application are eligible to apply to promote a product or service they like and get rewarded in SaTT tokens and play the role of an influencer. As companies are very attentive to their most engaged followers on social networks, SaTT is positioning itself as a revolutionary solution to reward them and considerably increase a company's exposure on social networks, without depending on a centralized entity. Centralization, opacity, and high costs are some of the major problems with traditional advertising. Also, there’s a serious lack of user participation. Using blockchain technology, innovative startups are coming up with innovative solutions to these problems, ultimately helping revolutionize advertising. As any user with a substantial social network following can create and monetize content for ad campaigns, these blockchain-based platforms also enable a paradigm shift in influencer marketing.

This is a true use case for blockchain technology that can be applied right away!"

Retailers increasingly refer to adoption of digital gift cards, yet they struggle with technical errors that make their cards easily compromised to be used multiple times, causing financial losses, in addition to more common issues, where gift cards have limited purchasing options and tight expiry dates. This is where Amaten comes to the rescue, the massive success the fintech company has brought in Japan comes from the revolutionary makeovers that it created in digital gift card industry. At first glance, Amaten is engineering their digital gift cards with blockchain integration. It is taking the gift card and putting on a smart contract making it truly digital thus, illuminating all the structural short coming of the current technology. This provides a great advantage for merchants and consumers from security standpoint, as they\'ll be able to trace gift cards ensuring that it\'s not compromised, as Blockchain will ensure highest level of data encryption. This advanced integration makes Amaten the most secure gift card issuer on the internet, thus tackling the "Gift Card Error" issue that is commonly seen among other suppliers. A long-awaited paradigm shift in this fintech industry. Story continues Apart from accepting gift card purchases using cash, Amaten was among the first marketplaces worldwide to accept Bitcoin. Conversely, users can redeem unwanted gift cards to cash, hence tackling the issue of unused cards that counts $1 Billion in losses globally every year. The Amaten platform currently list the top 25 global merchants gift cards, the likes of Amazon, Apple, Rakuten and Google within the Japanese market. Soon, Amaten will allow any merchant to issue gift cards, thus encouraging buyers to purchase them for potential shopping in the foreseeable future, thus keeping businesses under financial support during slow economic activity. The inspiration for Amaten\'s innovation comes from one of Japan\'s IT industry leaders, Mr. Tom Kanazawa, who played a major role to backing and funding IT ventures in Japan since 1998, he is currently the Chairman of Amaten. Commenting on the opportunities that Amaten has for investors, Mr. Tom Kanazawa said "Amaten has the potential of becoming a monopolistic enterprise and change the gift card for good, because we are solving the last mile problem between cash and the legacy gift card, Until recently, it was deemed impossible for the industry to reinvent itself, but as for Amaten, using our blockchain solution built on Aelf, we tackled those structural issues and will ensure a seamless experience for our users and merchants, finally building a true fintech digital product and expanding the industry and its market \'size even further. This is a true use case for blockchain technology that can be applied right away!" Mr. Kanazawa added, "We also have seen quite some interest for white label solutions that can be provided to hotel chains for example or enterprise incentive programs to create a truly digital and seamless ecosystem. We invite everyone interested in AMA to join our telegram channel , or to visit our website amaten.io, me and the team will be happy to cater to your questions and we\'ll be here to help!".', "Apple Inc(NASDAQ:AAPL) Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook is now a billionaire\xa0— thanks to the near $2 trillion market cap Apple is enjoying, BloombergreportedTuesday.\nWhat Happened\nCook’s wealth has exceeded the $1 billion mark, according to the calculations done by Bloomberg Billionaires Index.\nApple shares have risen nearly 5% in the\xa0last week and almost 54% year-to-date, with the company’s market capitalization approaching $2 trillion.\nThe Cupertino-based tech giant was valued at $350 billion at the time its co-founder Steve Jobs died in 2011.\nWhy It Matters\nThe rise in Cook’s wealth and Apple’s value mirrors the growth of the so-called FAANG stocks, an acronym that refers toFacebook Inc(NASDAQ:FB),Amazon.com, Inc(NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple,Netflix Inc(NASDAQ:NFLX) andAlphabet Inc(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), formerly known as Google, Bloomberg noted.\nUnlike Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg\xa0and other tech titan founders\xa0— such asTesla Inc's(NASDAQ:TSLA)\xa0Elon Musk\xa0— who own significant chunks of their companies, Cook’s ownership of Apple shares has been incremental and a part of equity awards.\nCook reportedly said he plans to give most of his fortune to charity and has already donated shares to the tune of millions of dollars.\nAmazon CEO Jeff Bezos, therichest person on the planet, sold $3 billion worth of Amazon shares this month after having sold $4.1 billion worth of shares in January and February this year, under a pre-planned arrangement.\nPrice Action\nApple shares closed 1.45% higher at $450.91 on Monday and fell 0.22% in the after-hours session.\nSee more from Benzinga\n• Amazon Asks Podcasters To Stream On Its Platforms, But Conte Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Digital dollars can be designed in any number of ways, and these design choices will have profound implications for the people who use them. Congress should carefully consider why we need a digital dollar and what should be the core objectives. Is the goal of a digital dollar simply to make payments more efficient, or do we want a digital dollar that helps build a more equitable and inclusive financial system? Under the strain of civil unrest and the COVID-19 lockdown, cracks that have long existed in the American economic system are widening into fissures, from health care and child care to food production and financial services. The accumulation of these fissures is exacerbating an already significant wealth and opportunity gap between richer and poorer American households, one that all too often falls along racial lines. According to Pew Research Center, the U.S. middle class has been shrinking over the past five decades and is no longer a large majority. Related: Bitcoin Has American Mindshare but Few Users See also: Digital Dollar? Get Real, Financial Inclusion Advocates Tell Congress The wealth gap between upper-income and middle- and lower-income families is growing apace. Since 1983, the share of U.S. aggregate wealth of upper income families grew from 60% to 79%, while shares of wealth for middle income families fell from 32% to 17%, and from 7% to 4% for lower income families. Nearly half of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck. In a recent Federal Reserve survey, one in five American workers lost their jobs in March, among which 40% were from low-income households making less than $40,000. The gap in access to financial services has made it difficult for even the government to quickly send rescue money to those in need under the CARES Act. Story continues A few members in Congress had the courage to be innovative and introduced bills proposing a Fed-run digital dollar, but the focus of their bills was limited to a digital dollar that was merely a conduit for American households and businesses to open accounts directly with the Federal Reserve. Elsewhere in the private sector, Facebook revised its Libra offering in an attempt to placate the many and varied critiques of its first crypto-currency proposal. Libras response was simply falling back on conventional and not particularly innovative approaches. Related: Five Years On, Ethereum Really Is the Minecraft of Crypto-Finance These discussions are neglecting how technology design often reinforces the status quo and the gaps between the haves and the have-nots of America. Digital dollar efforts need to be intentional about how their designs leverage actual innovation in a way that helps bridge these gaps if our goal is to foster a more equitable and inclusive national economy. Community-based ownership would allow the economic gains of the network to be equitably shared and not reserved for those who have access to capital and connections. Not unlike the social contract between banks and the public, there is also a social contract between financial platforms and the public. To reflect this truth, these digital dollar networks should be treated as public utilities. The public that uses digital dollar networks should share in the ownership and governance of these networks. Meaningful self-governance of the financial networks and platforms we use would help facilitate actual inclusion of communities in their economic growth and well-being rather than the predatory inclusion that is all-too-common in tech and financial circles. In particular, for underserved communities to find a digital dollar useful and supportive of the kinds of services and products they need, the digital dollar network needs to be first designed around these communities lived experiences and not based on assumptions or aggregate data. Community-based ownership would further ensure a meaningful role in the design of these networks. As owners, they can lay the foundational digital stack for a generative economic ecosystem that serves their real economic needs. Beyond governance, community-based ownership would allow the economic gains of the network to be equitably shared among all participants and not reserved for those who have access to capital and connections. That is, unlike Libra where the network is owned by Facebook and other big tech and financial firms, consideration should be given for public or co-operative ownership of digital dollar networks by the actual users. By placing the users at the top of the ownership structure, revenues and capital can be deployed to best serve the interests of these communities rather than a distant, often rent-seeking, third party.

Prates Digital Dollars Can Reduce Unemployment, Heres How Technological advancement has lowered the costs of creating and administering networks such that a cooperative model for a digital dollar network has become feasible and could unlock significantly more accessible and efficient financial services that are tailored to community needs. Slow paper checks and invoices and costly wire transfers can and should be made irrelevant. People getting faster and more direct access to money would be able to automate their cash flow, saving on time and costly fees. It is time for policymakers to leverage technology for the have-nots and develop a digital dollar system that can do more than just make payments more efficient, and rather, lay a strong digital foundation for economic growth and innovation.

Ruling at the state\x92s First Appellate Court (Division One), Judge Ethan P. Schulman agreed with the summary judgment of a prior trial court that was decided in favor of Coinbase, according to a court document filed on Monday. Plaintiff Darrell Archer first filed the lawsuit against Coinbase on March 27, 2018, alleging the exchange had violated its contract agreement with users over its stance on the Bitcoin Gold hard fork . Coinbase told users it would not support the fork because the project would not release its code to the public and that, as such, it was considered a \x93major security risk,\x94 per the filing. Archer also alleged Coinbase had retained control over the bitcoin gold (BTG) cryptocurrency resulting from the fork for its own benefit during that time. In a hard fork of this nature, a blockchain is split off to form a new chain (sometimes with new features) and a new cryptocurrency. In the case of bitcoin gold, bitcoin was forked, creating BTG tokens equal in number to those owned by holders on the original chain. While investors are automatically awarded their new duplicate holdings if they held their bitcoin in their own blockchain wallets, exchanges decide whether to support the fork and pass new coins onto customers holding assets on their platforms. Archer \x96 who held 350 bitcoin on Coinbase at the time of the fork \x96 followed up his original complaint with an amendment alleging Coinbase\x92s \x93failure and refusal\x94 to pass on the BTG represented breach of contract, negligence and conversion (a civil law version of theft). On the breach of contract claim, the trial court concluded that Archer had failed to establish the existence of an agreement by Coinbase to provide bitcoin gold to him following the fork. The conversion claim failed because the existing agreement did not grant the rights for Archer to the new coins, and did not require Coinbase to support the bitcoin gold fork. To rule otherwise would place the \x93duty\x94 on exchanges of having to support all bitcoin forks, the judge said, quoting a similar ruling in the state of Georgia. For the third cause of action, negligence on behalf of Coinbase, the trial court had rejected Archer\x92s claim based on the \x93 economic loss rule ,\x94 which the court held ruled out liability for negligence based on contractual obligations. The appeals court has now upheld the original ruling that Coinbase\x92s agreement with Archer contained no part requiring Coinbase to provide services for cryptocurrencies from third parties. Carlton Fields attorney Andrew Hinks commented in a Twitter thread late on Tuesday that the case may establish precedent and has implications over the future definition of cryptocurrency as property.

The startup is now working with Tezos developer groups Nomadic Labs and Metastate to implement the tech in the next network update. Similar to the Lightning Network, zkChannels is a payment channel for blockchains but with zero-knowledge proofs attached. A current problem with Lightning – a payment solution built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain – is that in certain settings, you can see other people’s de facto bank accounts, called funding channels. zkChannel hides that information from merchants. Related:After Years of Resistance, BitPay Adopts SegWit for Cheaper Bitcoin Transactions “zkChannels is a chain-agnostic anonymous off-chain protocol that enables cheap and private value transfer between a customer and merchant,” Bolt Labs said in ablog post. Lightning developers are working on similar concepts through different means with projects such asmulti-part payments. Bolt Labs was founded in 2018 by J. Ayo Akinyele with Zcash co-founders Ian Miers and Matthew Green. The privacy projectraised $1.5 millionin an April 2019 seed round joined by Lemniscap, Xpring and others in addition to numerous angel investors such as Zcash co-founder Zooko Wilcox.

According to the firm’s announcement post: We are also interested in building a cross-chain bridge via zkChannels for connecting Zcash or Bitcoin to Tezos, and provides censorship-resistance to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Tezos raised $232 million in a 2017 initial coin offering (ICO), marketing itself as the “self-amending” ledger. That means the blockchain can conduct periodic code updates due to its hands-on governance procedures. For example, academic work detailing a possibleselfish mining schemeled to a code patch mere weeks after the paper’s publication. zkChannels is Bolt Labs’ first account-model implementation of its tech, Akinyele told CoinDesk. (Blockchains come in two flavors: the unspent transaction output (UTXO) model used by Bitcoin and the account model employed by Ethereum.) The firm also hasprivate channel implementationsfor both Bitcoin and Zcash, with the latter still in development. Read more:Why Harvard Research on a Low-Profit Tezos Attack Matters for Proof-of-Stake The use of a payment channel on a blockchain thatbarely breaks $100 in average daily fees– compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars processed by Bitcoin and Ethereum daily – seems questionable. Indeed, as CoinDeskreported, 76% of Tezos transactions can be tied back to network validation, called “Baking,” or a coin “faucet” that spouts free XTZ. Akinyele said Bolt Labs built zkChannels on Tezos over other candidates due to the blockchain’s malleable governance. Moreover, zkChannels is easier to implement on a more “pairing friendly” curve called BLS12-381 that Tezos is currently adding.Ethereum operates on another older elliptic curve modeland will not support BLS until a network overhaul called Eth 2.0 is completed. “We’re looking at the fact that Tezos is a new blockchain, but that has a lot of promise based on the building blocks it’s making available to developers,” Akinyele said. • Cryptography Startup Brings Private Payment Channels to Tezos Blockchain • Cryptography Startup Brings Private Payment Channels to Tezos Blockchain... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

A mass takeover of big-name celebrities including former Vice President Joe Biden, former U.S. President Barack Obama, Kanye West and Elon Musk saw their accounts compromised, starting at 19:00 UTC . Twitter said in a series of tweets that hackers targeted “some of” its employees who had access to internal tools, which they used “to take control of many highly visible (including verified) accounts and [t]weet on their behalf.” The social media platform is looking into what else was impacted, while restoring accounts to their users. Motherboard, VICE Magazine’s tech section, said it spoke to two sources who took over accounts, who claimed they paid a Twitter insider to manage the takeovers. Twitter being “highly centralized” led to the hack, said Ben Sigman, CTO at blockchain startup Make Sense Labs. Twitter employees have “godmode” access to create tweets from any user, Sigman claimed.

Bitmain will also deliver 500 previously purchased S-19 Pro Miners in September and 500 in November. After the installations this weekend go operational next week, the Company’s yields are expected to generate prospective positive net cash flow, based on the current price of Bitcoin and Hashrate difficulty.\nInvestor Notice\nInvesting in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

Following a 0.05% gain on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the month up by 24.04% to $11,350.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $10,990 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,923.2, Bitcoin rose to a late afternoon intraday high $11,440.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,255.4 and the second major resistance level at $11,387.8. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the resistance levels before finding support. Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $11,350 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Binance Coin (+7.76%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+7.19%), and Ripple’s XRP (+6.22%) led the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.22%), Ethereum (+3.46%), Litecoin (+2.46%), and Monero’s XMR (+4.39%), also found strong support. EOS (+1.36%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.73%), Tezos (+1.44%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.93%) trailed the front runners. Cardano’s ADA bucked the trend, however, falling by 1.17%. It was a bullish July for the crypto market. Cardano’s ADA surged by 67.38% to lead the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV (+46.21%), Ethereum (+53.82%), Litecoin (+41.45%), Ripple’s XRP (+48.21%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+45.72%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+34.44%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+34.87%), EOS (+30.56%), Monero’s XMR (33.17%), Tezos (+20.69%), and Tron’s TRX (+20.39%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $285.49bn to a Monday high $335.81bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $326.94bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.44% to a Tuesday high 64.58% before easing back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.53. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.82% to $11,257.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $11,398 before falling to a low $11,238.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.14%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.21%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.69%) found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP was down by 1.44% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $11,260 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,530. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $11,440. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,710. Failure to move through the $11,260 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,080 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$11,000 levels and the second major support level at $10,810.

Continuing to fall short of the first major resistance level at $11,981, Bitcoin slipped back to sub-$11,800 levels and into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Friday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.70%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.06%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.75%), Litecoin (-0.65%), Monero’s XMR (-0.83%), and Tezos (-0.61%) joined Bitcoin in the red. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Tron’s TRX and Binance Coin led the way, with gains of 10.89% and 6.10% respectively. EOS (+4.01%), Ethereum (+3.25%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.83%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+3.65%) also found support. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $328.26bn before rising to a Saturday morning high $365.56bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $361.09bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 62.63% before sliding to a Friday low 60.17%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.82%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.12% to $11,907.5. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $11,775.5 to a high $11,991.5. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,874.0 and the second major resistance level at $11,972.5. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Monero’s XMR (-0.02%), Tezos (-1.93%), and Tron’s TRX (-2.03%) saw red early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors. At the time of writing, EOS was up by 2.99% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the first major resistance level at $11,874 to support a move back through the second major resistance level at $11,972.5. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $11,991.5, however. Barring an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level and resistance at $12,000 should cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the third major resistance level at $12,180 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall through the first major resistance level would bring the sub-$11,800 levels into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid the pivot level at $11,765 and the major support levels. The first major support level sits at $11,667.

The number of ransomware attacks, where hackers encrypt a user’s data files and then demand payment to restore access, climbed by 20% in the first half of the year to reach 121.4 million assaults, according to data security firm SonicWall. Many of the victims chose to pay up. In June, the University of California said it paid $1.14 million to extortionists who’d besieged servers at its medical school. CWT, a travel-management company, handed over $4.5 million worth of Bitcoin last month to resolve a hack, Reuters reported. Garmin Ltd., which sells portable devices linked to global positioning systems, suffered outages in the final week of July it said were due to a cyber attack. While the company hasn’t commented on how it solved the interruptions, various media reports put the ransom demand at $10 million. In the past four years, Kivu Consulting has been involved in more than 700 ransomware incidents. Last year, the cyber security firm was the agent for 143 payments worth more than $17 million. So what should you do when the email arrives saying you’ve been hacked, your data has been compromised and if you don’t pay a ransom, your servers will remain frozen? I caught up with Winston Krone, Kivu’s global managing director, to find out. The following is a lightly edited transcript of our telephone conversation this week. MARK GILBERT: The number of ransomware attacks has climbed substantially this year. Is lockdown having an impact? WINSTON KRONE: We’re in the middle of a huge wave of attacks right now. Companies are coming back to work, employees are bringing infected computers back into the organization. Attackers have waited. The value of a ransomware attack is much bigger now that companies have gotten through the worst part of Covid and have the money to pay. It’s all about business interruption, that’s why people pay a ransom. If the company’s not working, if it’s hobbling along, a ransomware attack is not going to have the impact it would if the company was going full blast. We had attacks a couple of months ago where the victim of the attacks said, “We’re not sure we’re gonna be in business, we’re not paying a ransom because we’re not sure we’re gonna make payroll next month.” Story continues MG: Given that companies are reluctant to admit to being hacked or paying ransom, how big is the iceberg that we only see the tip of? WK: I would suspect the ratio is about 10/1, based on our metrics in the past four years where we know the number of ransomware attacks we were involved in that went public. There are very few unreported cases for publicly traded companies these days. Four years ago there was a huge embarrassment factor, now there’s no incentive to keep it secret. If anything, there’s quite a bit of sympathy for public companies that are hit with ransomware attacks.

Despite the dollar strength seen in early day trading today,GBP/USDcontinues to show strength. Fed Chair Powell was not as optimistic as the recent movements in the dollar and equity markets suggest. He pointed out that recent data might be signaling that the economic recovery is stalling and reiterated that policymakers and the governments need to continue providing support to the economy. Powell emphasized containing the virus is crucial for the economy to recovery but acknowledged the sharp earlier rebound in the labor markets. The dollar is down about 4% in July thus far on a trade-weighted basis as investors have shown a strong appetite for risk. Meanwhile, gold prices are up around 10% this month on the expectation that interest rates will remain low for some time. The US will release GDP figures later today which is expected to show a nearly 35% contraction in growth during the first quarter. The data is likely to cause a volatile reaction in the markets, especially if the figure deviates from analyst expectations. The UK announced an increase to the quarantine period for citizens showing signs of having contracted the Coronavirus. The self-isolation period has been increased from 7 to 10 days as new evidence shows that the risk of infecting others 7-9 days after being infected is higher than previously determined. While the dollar is bouncing broadly against most of its counterparts, Sterling is the only currency to hold near recent highs versus the greenback. With the 1.3000 handle in play, the pair could pull back from current levels if the dollar is able to extend on its recovery. Near-term support for the pair is seen at 1.2959 and considering the recent upward momentum, buyers are likely to defend this level. It may take some form of a catalyst for a change in trend, and so far, yesterday’s Fed meeting has not had a big impact on the exchange rate. A potential medium-term target forGBP/USDis seen at 1.3200 as the level held the pair lower on several attempts early in the year. • GBP/USD is outperforming its major counterparts and is the only currency that hasn’t declined against the greenback in early trading on Thursday. • GDP figures from the US will be released later 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: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.70% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.19% loss from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,858.5. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $11,991.5 before hitting reverse. The early rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $11,874 and the second major resistance level at $11,972.5. A pullback through the morning saw Bitcoin slide to a mid-day intraday low $11,689.5. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,667, Bitcoin revisited $11,980 levels before easing back. Bitcoin broke back through the first and second major resistance levels before wrapping up the day at sub-$11,900 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)published details of its Paycheck Protection Program(PPP) on Monday, revealing a who’s who of major and minor firms in the industry. Loan recipients included Zcash developer Electric Coin Company, Ethereum venture studio ConsenSys and Rainberry Inc., the U.S. entity acquired by Justin Sun’s Tron Foundation at the time of its BitTorrent acquisition in2018. Related:Irish Charity Receives $1.1M Grant to Build Blockchain Platform for Aid Distribution Crypto venture firms were also represented on the list, includingPolychain Capitaland Unchained Capital. The PPP was created by the Trump administration during the COVID-19 outbreak to help businesses pay their employees during the ongoing economic crisis. The effort was meant to stem layoffs, thoughsome 44 million Americanshave filed for unemployment benefits since March. The loans to blockchain startups are likely to be controversial among cryptocurrency users given the industry’s roots in the liberterian-leaning cypherpunk movement, which distrusted governments and banks. (Satoshi Nakamoto famously embedded a headline about bank bailouts into Bitcoin’s genesis block.) However, not taking an available subsidy arguably might have put any one company at a disadvantage to competitors that did, regardless of what the recipient believes about the policy’s merits, as one industry insider pointed out. It may have even been a point of strategy. “Every fund has been telling their startups to [apply],” one Silicon Valley investor told CoinDesk in April.

Sometimes they'll buy me something in exchange for sending some btc to their wallet. It's never for big stuff but eg. headphones on sale at a big box store.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.50% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.70% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 2.07% to $11,917.5. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin recovered from an early morning low $11,764 to strike a mid-morning intraday high $11,940.5. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $12,004, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day intraday low $11,691.5. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $11,702 before recovering to $11,900 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday. Bitcoin Cash SV fell by 0.41% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Tron’s TRX led the way, rallying by 12.26%. EOS (+4.11%), Litecoin (+6.64%), Stellar’s Lumen (+7.60%), and Tezos (+4.12%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+1.82%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.32%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.30%), Ethereum (+0.24%), Monero’s XMR (+1.59%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.93%) trailed the front runners. For the week, it was also mixed for the broader market. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.19%), Cardano’s ADA (-4.28%), and Monero’s XMR (-1.69%) saw red. It was bullish for the rest of the majors, however. EOS and Tron’s TRX surged by 28.09% and by 38.31% respectively to lead the way. Ethereum (+11.09%), Litecoin (+12.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (+9.41%), and Tezos (+14.88%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+4.95%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.11%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.71%) trailed the front runners. In the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $328.26bn before rising to a Sunday high $367.82bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $362.51bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 62.63% before sliding to a Sunday low 59.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.29%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.51% to $11,856.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $11,940.0 before falling to a low $11,803.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Cardano’s ADA bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.20%. It was bearish for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 3.09% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $11,850 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,008. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the Sunday’s high $11,940.5. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $12,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $12,099. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $11,850 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,759 into play.

The world’s largest crypto exchange is deploying a physical server node for its pool at BitRiver, the largest bitcoin mining hosting provider in Bratsk, Russia. The move would give miner owners at BitRiver who choose to switch to Binance a better connection and direct route to its mining pool, the two firms said in an announcement Friday. In return, Binance would gain exposure and access to customers who run their machines at BitRiver, which currently operates mining facilities at a capacity of 70 megawatt (MW) out of potential capacity of 100 MW. ConsenSys AccusedIn a new lawsuit, Ethereum incubatorConsenSys is accused of abusing its position of trust as an investorto access trade secrets and create a rival offering. BlockCrushr, a payments app, said it received a $100,000 investment from ConsenSys and had 20 in-depth discussions with the incubator. Now, the startup says its intellectual property was misappropriated to build ConsenSys’s own payments system Daisy Payments, since rebranded to CodeFi. Plaintiffs filed two counts of misappropriating trade secrets and one count of a breach of contract, and are suing for damages.

Following the hack, which Twitter says affected130 accounts,Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), vocal critic of tech platforms, fired off an open letter to CEO Jack Dorsey. The event, Hawley said, “may represent not merely a coordinated set of separate hacking incidents but rather a successful attack on the security of Twitter itself.” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) also took aim at Twitter’s architecture. In a statement, he sounded off on the fact that users’ direct messages (DMs) lack end-to-end encryption. “This is a vulnerability that has lasted for far too long, and one that is not present in other, competing platforms. If hackers gained access to users’ DMs, this breach could have a breathtaking impact for years to come,” Wyden said. Wyden revealed he had met with Dorsey privately in 2018 and discussed implementing this privacy feature. While the hack only made off with approximately $120,000, it will persist as a lasting blight on centralized internet platforms for years. In view of Twitter’s unofficial role within politics and media as the broadcaster of all broadcasts, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) said the hack could have had “major consequences” on elections. It’s a view shared by others. “With more than 300 million users, Twitter is a primary source of news for many, making it a target for bad actors. This type of hack by con artists for financial gain can also be a tool of foreign actors and others to spread disinformation and – as we’ve witnessed – disrupt our elections,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. With afederal investigationunderway, “the hack is likely to continue to ratchet up pressure on social media companies, which are already facing scrutiny over content moderation, disinformation and foreign interference,” CoinDesk reports. But that doesn’t mean we’re any closer to adecentralized alternative.As Start9 Lab’s Matt Hill put it, the hack “is yet another wake-up call. And like most wakeup calls, it will be greeted with a snooze button and a growing sense of anxiety. First MoverThe notoriouslyvolatile bitcoin slid just 0.8%to about $9,100 on Thursday, following the largest social media hack in recent memory, which involved an amateurish crypto scam. That’s in a market where it’s not uncommon for prices to swing 8% in a day. “It’s a non-event for price,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the cryptocurrency firm Diginex, told First Mover in an email. The reasons for the non-event revolve around the contradictory and mostly-psychological readings of the event. Little in bitcoin was stolen, all publicity is good publicity and the hack shows how easy it is to track stolen crypto. Maybe most salient: Bitcoin is worth stealing. Your Prime Membership Should Be TokenizedJeff Dorman, a CoinDesk columnist and chief investment officer at Arca, thinksAmazon Prime membership should be tokenized.Tokenization offers the clearest path to show digital ownership and maintain property rights, he said, but it also offers incentives for token owners to maintain, develop and propagate their platforms. In a sense, it’s the easiest way to link shareholders and users of a platform together. “This is the only path where capitalism and socialism can converge, and we’re seeing it happen in real time. Debt, equity and tokenized digital assets will all have a place in an investor’s portfolio and, more importantly, in customers’ portfolios. The lines are likely to blur as investors become active participants in the bootstrapped growth of the companies they love,” he writes. • Blockchain Bites: Binance’s Bitcoin Mining, ConsenSys’ Legal Trouble and Why Politicians Blame Twitter, Not Bitcoin • Blockchain Bites: Binance’s Bitcoin Mining, ConsenSys’ Legal Trouble and Why Politicians Blame Twitter, Not Bitcoin... - 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: ['Major Chinese bitcoin mining pools are each seeing daily hashrate drops of between 10% and 20% following continuous rainstorms in Sichuan. China’s southwestern Sichuan province, a mountainous region that is estimated to have over 50% of the Bitcoin network’s total computing power, has been hit by heavy rainstorms since last week , which peaked over the last two days. The heavy rainstorms have caused electricity outages in parts of the region as hydro-plants stop generating power to help discharge the floods. Some counties are also experiencing telecommunication and internet breakdowns, said Kevin Pan, CEO and co-founder of PoolIn. Related: PayPal Co-founder, DCG-Backed BTC Mining Firm Layer1 Accused of Patent Infringement As result, impacted bitcoin mining farms in the region are forced to unplug from the network for the time being. It’s not clear when the situation will prove as the rainstorms are still ongoing. Data from BTC.com shows the world’s top four bitcoin mining pools – PoolIn, F2Pool, BTC.com and Antpool, all based in China – have each seen their hashrates drop between 10% and 20% over the last 24 hours. The computing power connected to these four pools accounts for around 50% of the Bitcoin network’s total. Pan said in a Weibo post Tuesday China time that in addition to mining farms being forced to unplug due to electricity and internet disruptions, some have also proactively paused operations ahead of time and evacuated their on-site staff for safety precautions. According to the Xinhua News Agency , the accumulated rain volume in a dozen most-impacted cities in Sichuan between Aug. 10-15 alone has already surpassed the average August monthly volume in any year’s record.

Read the full article on Cryptocurrency Companies on Investorideas.comhttps://www.investorideas.com/news/2020/crypto-corner/08070Revenue-Growth.asp Bitcoin and all major cryptocurrencies have seen not only a massive surge in prices recently but also a huge growth in both acceptance and interest in crypto as a replacement for and a hedge against traditional money and finance. The demand is driven by both millennials and institutional investors. Matt Luongo, CEO of Thesis recentlyreported, "Millennial finance is premised on the ability of new technologies to fundamentally and permanently reshape how the money system operates in both form and function. This isn't just theory. It's happening now, and millennials are leading the charge. The success of platforms likeRobinhood, Acorns and Wealthfront demonstrates the potency of this movement and underscores millennials' thirst for options beyond the traditional banks and brokerage houses." "But these apps are only the tip of the iceberg. Their fundamental innovation is around user experience; they ultimately use the same financial infrastructure that legacy banks and wealth managers do. Millennial finance has more in store - and cryptocurrencies will be key. Rather than building a better train to run over the same old rails, crypto lets us build new, open, peer-to-peer rails." Forbesreported, "Institutional demand for bitcoin is soaring amid the coronavirus crisis, with multi-billion dollar bitcoin and crypto-asset manager Grayscale reporting its biggest-ever quarterly inflows of almost $1 billion." Previously involved in the crypto sector and now seeing significant opportunities ahead, Integrated Ventures Inc. (OTCQB: INTV)just reportedthe execution of a $1,000,000 Term Sheet with Eagle Equities, LLC and updated shareholders with recent corporate developments. From the news:The Company has agreed and executed Term Sheet with Eagle Equities, LLC for Private Placement, in the amount of $1,086,956, which will be used to expand cryptocurrency operations and to support future acquired operations. Use of proceeds: (1) purchases of 500 () assorted mining rigs: Antminer S17/S19, WhatsMiner and Innosilicon A10 and (2) deployment of the capital to support potential M&A transactions (*). From the news:The Company has decided to diversify its business operations, by expanding its focus from cryptocurrency mining operations to aggressive pursuit and implementation of M&A roll-up, a growth driven strategy seeking to achieve, above market, risk-adjusted returns, primarily by targeting: (1) companies in financial distress, (2) undergoing a turnaround or (3) undervalued companies that are looking for financial assistance, due to the current economic conditions. Integrated Ventures intends to acquire, merge-in and consolidate underperforming companies, mainly in the technology sector, which will allow INTV to combine all financial and management resources together, to cut down operational costs, and to increase the Company's revenues and market cap. From the news:To assist with execution of roll-up strategy, the Company plans to engage a business consulting group, with verifiable revenue generating M&A targets. These pre-vetted targets have a history of 2+ year operations with consistent revenues and EBITDA margins of 10%+. The Company intends to pursue such acquisitions, by offering below market multiples to the revenues with 10%-15% in cash and common stock. As of today, the Company has identified 2 such targets and if successful in closing these 2 deals, Integrated Ventures annual sales are expected to reach around $5.5 million. Integrated Ventures CEO, Steve Rubakh, commented, "The Company plans to diversify and expand its operations, by acquiring revenue generating assets that are available at below market pricing. We intend to assemble a team consisting of experienced and seasoned business professionals, ready to execute a value driven approach, thru a bottom-up research and due diligence process that seeks to capitalize on unique market opportunities. Continued:"We believe that this new business strategy offers an exciting path forward and will significantly increase Company's assets, market valuation and result in an increase in shareholder's value." With the funding, Integrated Ventures intends to focus on the following sectors: Data Center - Design Construction & Management, Cryptocurrency- Mining and Equipment Sales, DeFi Blockchain - Investments, Applications & Node Operations and E-Commerce & Information Technology Consulting Services. How big is the opportunity for companies in the sector?Crypto Corner reported, "Financial services firm Square, Inc reported in a letter to shareholders, that it generated $875 million of bitcoin revenue and $17 million of bitcoin gross profit during Q2 2020 on its Cash App. This represents a revenue increase of 600 percent year over year, something the letter ascribes to "an increase in bitcoin activities and growth in customer demand." As of June, the company boasted "more than 30 million monthly transacting active customers," on its Cash App." For investors following the sector Investor Ideas has a comprehensiveBitcoin, Blockchain and Digital Currency Stocks Directory Also visit theCrypto Corner podcastand commentary on what's driving cryptocurrency stocks and the crypto market.

Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $11,846.83 before briefly revisiting $12,000 levels. A bearish end to the day left Bitcoin back at sub-$12,000 levels and in the deep red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish day for the majors on Tuesday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.99%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-3.83%), EOS (-5.35%), Ripple’s XRP (-3.98%), Stellar’s Lumen (-4.90%), Tezos (-5.07%), and Tron’s TRX (-5.15%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-2.21%), Cardano’s ADA (-2.42%), Ethereum (-2.13%), Litecoin (-2.62%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.28%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. At the start of the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $384.00bn before sliding to an early Wednesday low $349.40bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $352.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.97% before rising to a Wednesday morning high 61.61%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.39%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.76% to $11,744.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $12,022.5 before sliding to a low $11,650.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $11,710.0 early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day for the crypto majors. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 6.66% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $12,056 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,301. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $12,022.5. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $12,500 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $12,056 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,710 back into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,500 support levels. The second major support level sits at $11,466.

Assembled by the CoinDesk Markets Team, First Mover starts your day with the most up-to-date sentiment around crypto markets, which of course never close, putting in context every wild swing in bitcoin and more. We follow the money so you don’t have to. You cansubscribe here. Related:How Real Is Bitcoin’s Rally? 8 Interpretations of Bitcoin's Massive Surge Joe DiPasquale, CEO of the cryptocurrency hedge fund BitBull Capital, told First Mover in an email that the latest move up appeared “in sync” with gold’s climb in recent days to a new record. Bitcoin is seen by many digital-asset analysts as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement, similar to the way investors in traditional markets have historically used gold. “Bitcoin sprung into action,” DiPasquale said. It’s a remarkable development in the bitcoin market, where investors, as recently as last week, were despairing that the oldest and largest cryptocurrency had been stuck in a range between $9,000 and $10,000 for the past two months. So for bitcoin bulls, the jolt out of the doldrums was welcome, especially when the pricewent up, not down. The day’s gain came on strong trading volume, with levels not seen since early June. Related:Bitcoin’s Latest Rally May Have Staying Power, Exchange Flows Suggest “The trend is clear and we are headed higher,” said Jack Tan, of Taiwan-based quantitative trading firm Kronos Research. Bitcoin is now up 57% year to date, more than double the 28% gain this year for gold, which climbed in recent days to a record. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks, meanwhile, is roughly flat for the year. “Given gold has just set a new all-time high, and with bitcoin’s correlation to stocks breaking down while being replaced by a strong correlation to gold, we envisage further tests to the upside this coming week,” the cryptocurrency-trading firmDiginexwrote in a daily market report. The U.S. Dollar Currency Index, a gauge of the greenback’s value versus other major currencies like the euro and yen, has fallen for seven straight sessions; the Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs predicts the dollar could lose another 5% over the next 12 months. “The U.S. dollar is eroding quickly, and people are starting to notice,” wrote Mati Greenspan, founder of the cryptocurrency and foreign-exchange research firm Quantum Economics, in his daily email. “It’s plain to see that people are ditching the buck as fast as they can.” That’s good for bitcoin and gold: As the Wall Street Journal put it Monday, a weakening dollar “mechanically pushes up the prices of the commodities invoiced in greenbacks.” Investors appear worried the global economic recovery is faltering, with cases on the rise and a death toll globally thatjust passed 650,000. In the U.S. Congress, Senate Republicans proposed a $1 trillion relief package following negotiations with President Donald Trump, but that amount falls far short of a Democrat-led plan for $3.5 trillion in stimulus. Jim Reid, strategist for the German lender Deutsche Bank, wrote in a report that the Federal Reserve, which has already expanded its balance sheet this year by about $3 trillion to about $7 trillion, might need to pump another $12 trillion over the next few years. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet this week in closed-door discussions, with a statement due late Wednesday. With interest rates already close to zero, no major policy changes are expected, but the cryptocurrency investment fund Arca noted Monday that a sell-off in the U.S. stock market might provoke the U.S. central bank to respond. A report on Thursday is expected to show that U.S. gross domestic product declined during the second quarter by a staggering 35% on an annualized basis. With so much fragility in the economy, and things not improving quickly, “the moral hazard is now so high that the stock market barely even has to blink,” Arca wrote. For bitcoin, according to Arca, “the breakout was just a matter of time.” BTC: Price: $10,773 (BPI) \| 24-Hr High: $11,395 \| 24-Hr Low: $10,215 Trend: Bitcoin is witnessing a low-volume technical pullback on Tuesday. The largest cryptocurrency by market value is currently trading near $10,850 – down over 4% from the 11-month high of $11,394 reached on Monday. The drop in price suggests bitcoin may be overvalued. The 14-day relative strength index jumped to 82 as prices surged 11% on Monday. An above-70 reading indicates overbought conditions – meaning excessive demand has pushed prices unjustifiably high. The pullback may be extended further, as the 14-day RSI is still hovering above 70. In addition, the RSI on the hourly chart has dropped into bearish territory below 50. That said, the bullish bias might be invalidated if prices finish below $10,500 (the February high) at the UTC market close. That looks unlikely, as the decline from multi-month highs observed so far today is accompanied by a slide in trading volumes (above right). A low-volume pullback is often short-lived. Besides, some analysts are convinced that Monday’s bullish move has put bitcoin on the path toward record highs. “[Monday’s] daily close is amazing and could very well resemble April 2019’s $1k candle that ended the bear market and fueled a rally to $13,000. Only this time, the rally should lead to new all-time-high for BTC,” popular analystJosh Rager tweetedearly Tuesday. • First Mover: The Dollar Drop May Have Helped Push Bitcoin Past $11K • First Mover: The Dollar Drop May Have Helped Push Bitcoin Past $11K... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The settlement, which was reached on June 11 and effectively ends a six-month court fight with the agency, also indicates the messaging platform will be responsible for a $1.22 billion disgorgement that is offset by $1.19 billion paid as termination amounts in investors purchase agreements and the amounts that some investors loaned to Telegram earlier this year. Telegram has 30 days to pay the SEC penalty and up to four years to pay back investors under the settlement. Additionally, Telegram should notify the SEC if the company wants to issue cryptocurrencies, digital coins, digital tokens, or any similar digital asset issued or transferred using distributed ledger technology at any point over the next three years. The notification which is not a request for an approval should come 45 days prior to the planned issuance, the settlement reads.

Previously, Telegram offered its non-U.S. investors an opportunity to loan their money to the company for one year, with a pledge to pay back 110% of the amount invested next April. This was as an alternative to getting back 72% of the investment this May the amount previously agreed upon by the investors. Not everyone was happy with the deal, with some investors saying they considered suing Telegram . $1.7B token offering The SEC sued Telegram in October 2019 after the company raised $1.7 billion to fund the development of its TON blockchain project. A federal court sided with the SEC when the agency asked to block Telegram from issuing any tokens as it had planned to do earlier this year. While Telegram appealed initially, it later halted this effort . Story continues The company announced it would be ceasing work on TON on May 27, though it published some code for the project.

While Telegram ostensibly no longer plans to update its code for TON, it did write that some minor bug fixes and Github issue answers may occasionally appear if any of the members of the original team have the spare time and inclination to contribute to the communitys efforts. Telegram managed to release most of the TON code, including blockchain nodes , a technical paper on TONs consensus protocol and a native crypto wallet . While Telegram itself claimed it would no longer launch TON, another entity, TON Labs, launched its own version of the network with a group of professional validators. The SEC declined to comment on the proposed settlement, but said in a letter to the court that the proposed settlement is fair and reasonable and in the public interest. In a statement shared with CoinDesk and later published to Telegram founder Pavel Durovs Telegram channel, the company said the settlement reconfirms our commitment to repay the remaining funds to purchasers. Since we saw limited value in pursuing the court case further, we welcomed the opportunity to resolve it without admitting or denying our liability, the statement said, concluding that he hoped the U.S. becomes friendlier to blockchain in the future.

Today's Key News: ["INX Ltd. said it will launch its long-awaited landmark initial public offering (IPO) as soon as Monday, capping a nearly two-year journey for the startup cryptocurrency and security token exchange. “It is anticipated that the offering will begin on Aug. 24, 2020, or shortly thereafter,” the Gibraltar-based company said in a press release Thursday. Also Thursday, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) posted a notice of effectiveness , officially clearing the sale. As previously reported, INX has priced its 130 million tokens, which are to run on the Ethereum blockchain, at $0.90 each, totaling $117 million in gross proceeds. This was smack in the middle of the target range of $0.80 to $1.00 per token. After offering expenses and fees to advisory firm A-Labs, the sale would net up to $111 million, according to INX’s latest filing with the SEC. The net proceeds would be used to: Build INX Trading Solutions, a regulated exchange for cryptocurrencies, security tokens and derivatives. Build a cash fund to protect the company and its customers in the event of a data breach, trading execution error or counterparty default. The instruments on offer are a hybrid of utility and security tokens. Investors could use them to pay trading fees on INX’s platform. The tokens would also entitle holders to a share of company profits.

INX’s sale would also be one of very few IPOs in the blockchain industry and almost certainly the largest. Story continues It’s been a long road for the company, whose U.S. operations are led by Executive Managing Director Alan Silbert.

The company filed its F-1 prospectus (the SEC’s form for foreign issuers) almost exactly a year ago. To comply with know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, INX has written a smart contract that allows only wallet addresses belonging to investors that have been vetted and put on a “whitelist” to receive the tokens. TokenSoft, a registration agent that specializes in blockchain token offerings, is doing the KYC checks and maintaining the registry of investors. Last month, INX hired Paz Diamant as its chief technology officer, regulatory filings show. Diamant is the former managing director of R&D and product at eToro, where he built the brokerage’s crypto trading system, according to his LinkedIn profile .

China is expected to keep itsbenchmark lending ratesteady for the third straight month at its July fixing on Monday, a Reuters survey showed, encouraged by a stronger-than-expected rebound from the coronavirus crisis. Thirty-four traders and analysts out of 36 participants in the snap survey this week predicted no change to the one-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR). The remaining two expected a marginal reduction of five basis points (bps) in both tenors. The one-year LPR is now 3.85% after two cuts this year, while the five-year rate is at 4.65%.

Japan is the world’s second-largest exporter of autos.

It\'s bordered by Syria from the north and east, Israel from the south, and the Mediterranean Sea from the west. Syria has been in a deadly civil war since 2012. Lebanon and Israel are officially "at war" since the inception of Israel, though currently there isn\'t any war going on, and the last real war between the two countries happened in 2006 and lasted only 30 days. \n> \n>Lebanon went into a long and deadly civil war in the 70s and 80s. It only ended when the war lords sat together and decided that instead of attempting to kill each other, why not become rulers and split the gains. Thus from the early 90s until today Lebanon has been ruled by the same warlords that fought in the civil war. The speaker of the parliament never changed, not even once, and the rest of MPs and politicians just switched ministries and places every few years to present the image of democracy. \n> \n>Lebanon also has Hizbollah, an organization that is labeled as a terrorist organization by many countries. Hizbollah has more powerful intillegence and military than the Lebanese government itself. The organization has unobstructed powers, for example, it started the 2006 war with Israel without the acceptance of the official Lebanese government. \n> \n>Lebanese politicians save their billions and billions of dollars in savings in banks across Europe, mainly Switzerland. \n> \n>Lebanon doesn\'t have oil, nor a serious construction sector. Lebanon relies on the service sector and tourism to survive, both of which are almost nonexistent at this point. Lebanon has a huge crippling debt. Lebanon\'s capital, Beirut, was voted the most expensive city to live in in the middle east two years ago. Lebanon\'s passport is one of the worst passports in the world and doesn\'t allow you to visit any notable country without a visa. \n> \n>October 2019 - Political, COVID-19 and Economical Problems\n> \n>In October 2019, the government approved a law that would increase taxes, and tax the usage of Whatsapp. The Lebanese population attempted a peaceful revolution, the country effectively closed down from October until December. The revolution was successful in forcing the government to resign, but wasn\'t able to make the president, MPs or speaker of the parliament resign. \n> \n>Things went to shit after that, unofficial capital control started in October. The bank declared that people can\'t withdraw money from their savings or current accounts. People weren\'t allowed to transfer money outside Lebanon or use any credit or debit card internationally. The government started considering a haircut. The currency started to lose value rapidly. \n> \n>The official rate is currently 1$ = 1,515 LBP while the black market rate is 1$ = 8,500 LBP \n> \n>The money stuck in the bank is useless, almost frozen because it can\'t be withdrawn without losing \\~65% of it\'s value and even then, in small quantities. \n> \n>Add to that COVID-19 is ripping the country. We\'re having exponential growth in the number of cases right now. \n> \n>The Explosion\n> \n>On August 4, 2020 multiple explosions occurred in Beirut Port that destroyed half the city, killed hundreds, with an additional large number of people missing, injured hundreds of thousands of people and made 300,000 people homeless. 80000 children displaced.

Daily Context for Date: 2020-08-22 Financial & Commodity Data: - Gold Closing Price: $1934.60 - Crude Oil Closing Price: $42.34 Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics: - Market Capitalization: $214,950,070,412 - Hash Rate: 114577256.01642336 - Transaction Count: 311699.0 - Unique Addresses: 649053.0 Social & AI Sentiment: - Fear & Greed Index: 0.78 Other Textual Data: - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: U.S. West Texas Intermediate and international-benchmark Brent crude oil finished slightly lower last week as traders digested a number of off-setting factors. Bullish private industry and government inventories data helped underpin the markets, while the possibility of increased supply after OPEC+ announced it would begin tapering its production cuts starting in August weighed on prices. Meanwhile, traders were also monitoring the surge in COVID-19 cases that could lead to a mild case of demand destruction. Last week, September WTI crude oil futures settled at $40.75, down $0.01 or -0.02% and September Brent crude oil finished at $43.14, down $0.10 or -0.23%. American Petroleum Institute Weekly Inventories Report The API reported late Tuesday a huge draw in crude oil inventories of 8.322 million barrels for the week-ending July 10 . Analysts were looking for a smaller draw of 2.275 million barrels. The API also reported a draw of 3.611 million barrels of gasoline for the week-ending July 10. Analysts forecast a 900,000-barrel draw for the week. Distillate inventories were up by 3.03 million barrels for the week, while Cushing inventories saw a build of 548,000 barrels. US Crude, Refined Products Stocks Drop Sharply: EIA U.S. crude oil and refined product inventories fell sharply last week due in part to a notable drop in crude imports, the Energy Information Administration said last Wednesday. Crude inventories fell 7.5 million barrels in the week to July 10 to 531.7 million barrels , compared with analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 2.1 million-barrel drop. The decline was driven by a steep drop in imports, which fell by a net 2 million barrels per day (bpd), the EIA said. U.S. imports of oil from Mexico returned to more typical levels at 490,000 bpd in the most recent week, after a surprising spike to an eight-year high in the previous period. Gasoline demand , meanwhile, dipped modestly as more U.S. states have reimposed lockdowns as coronavirus cases and deaths are spiking anew. Overall, gasoline supplied over the last four weeks, a proxy for demand, is 9% below the same period a year ago. Story continues Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 453,000 barrels. However, Gulf Coast distillate inventories rose last week to 58.6 million barrels, highest on record. OPEC+ Agreed to Ease Record Supply Curbs from August OPEC and its allies agreed on Wednesday to scale back oil production cuts from August as the global economy slowly recovers from the coronavirus pandemic. OPEC+ has been reducing output since May by 9.7 million barrels per day, or 10% of global supply, but from August, cuts will officially taper to 7.7 million bpd until December. Despite the official OPEC+ accord, Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said production cuts in August and September would end up amounting to about 8.1 million-8.3million bpd, more than the headline number. That’s because countries in the grouping which over-produced earlier this year would compensate by making extra August-September cuts, the minister said. Weekly Forecast The OPEC+ move is risky because the rise in coronavirus infections in the United States and around the world could lead to a second round of demand destruction if the outbreak cannot be contained. However, some traders are downplaying the threat, citing tightening global inventories and a pick-up in the economy as reasons to remain optimistic. The next major move in crude oil will be determined by whether we see more draws in the coming weeks. If the API and EIA reports continue to indicate a tightening of supplies then this may be enough to offset the potentially bearish tapering of the production cuts. A tightening of supplies, however, will be largely determined by whether the economy continues to recover. Of major concern will be gasoline demand. If consumers decide voluntarily or are forced to shut down then this could weigh on fuel demand. “The gasoline demand number is very weak, and with the coronavirus situation worsening, it’s only going to get worse. That’s going to be a weight on the market,” said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital in New York. For a look at all of today’s economic events, check out our economic calendar .

I know this might dip, and hell we might even see 10,500-11K again. There is just too many forces at work for this not to go a lot higher though.\n\n\\#1 is you have Greyscale and other companies picking up huge amounts of bitcoin almost double even what the miners are able to produce per block. Simply put the supply is dwindling and the upward pressure will be too strong at some point. The miners tend to sell some of their rewards, but they are not selling all. \n\n\\#2 The dollar is in a really bad situation here. If people are noticing the main correlation of where bitcoin price goes it lies in the strength/weakness of the dollar. With 28 trillion in debt I am not sure how we make it out of this hole. I don't think you will see it completely collapse, however the printing presses are really going full tilt which inflation is under control right now, but for how long ? One of the major currencies Dollar, Yen, Euro, or Yuan will come close to collapsing in the next few years. Fiat can only go for so long before it needs a hard re-set. \n\n\\#3 Mining rewards were halved. I know this was months ago, but not having double the bitcoin being dumped is a huge advantage. The bitcoin is in strong hands / hodlers.\n\n\\#3 the Defi game has changed the landscape. More and more people are going to jump on the Defi bandwagon and get their bitcoins wrapped or use Blockfi, Aave ect. In the short term these can be used to short bitcoin, but it's already creating a wave of buying so people can get the yield. This has more advantages on upward price movements as it will control the tempo. On the other side of this however is in a year or two one of these will blow up taking everyone's btc with them so be careful.\n\n\\#4 On August 1st we had a sell off where they pushed the bid down from 12k to 10,500 in 15 minutes on massive sell orders and some stop loss selling. Each tumble like that is getting more and more expensive. These pushes are to scoop up the derivatives they buy before the major sell offs . This has been a ongoing trend in bitcoin from even the early years (not the derivatives side). As time goes on and there are less and less coins these are getting way more expensive to manipulate it on the short side. That's why they did the dump in such a short time frame, because the longer the dump is going to cost even more money. \n\nOverall I can really see this taking off again soon after the consolidation. I also believe we take out the ATH here in a few months.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ie90c1/time_to_buy_in/', 'ie90c1', [['u/Mark_Bear', 14, '2020-08-22 03:22', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ie90c1/time_to_buy_in/g2dznnv/', 'I hear what you\'re saying. \n\nPoints 3, 3, and 4: agreement. \n\nPoint1. Good point. For me, it\'s a maybe. Maybe Grayscale is buying actual Bitcoin, maybe not. Maybe we\'re seeing something like \'rehypothecation\' where the custodian has 1 BTC and they tell 2, 3, or 37 different people that it belongs to them. Maybe not. I\'ve been around to know better than to trust these kinds of people. \n\nPoint2: Yes. Eventually. We might have deflation first, then hyperinflation. Maybe not. But hyperinflation, sooner or later. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nYou\'re screaming, "DEflation!!" I can hear it from here. How? Good question. Think about the fiat currency global banking system. QE "money printing" aside, money was created when loans were taken out -- fractional reserve lending. Therefore, (fiat, fractional-reserve) money is destroyed (goes back into thin air) when loans are payed off, or go bad. We\'re seeing a lot of bad loans, and we\'re about to see even more: Mortgages for homes and for rental properties. Business loans. Bonds. Government loans at all levels. Student debt. Auto loans. Credit card debt. Second mortgages. Boat loans. Furniture. Stocks bought on margin. Etc. \n\nAs much of that debt goes bad, it creates deflation pressure. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nLook at 1929, for example. There was deflation. In the current global banking system, deflation is like trying to ride a motorcycle downhill and backwards. Eventually you crash. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nEventually, hyperinflation. For now, much of the money "printed" by the Federal Reserve is going to cronies and bankers and people who are already ultra-rich. The "theory" used to tell us that it "trickles down" to the common man, but that has been shown to be total bullshit. So, most of that newly created money is not helping people to make loan payments. \n\nBasically, the central bankers and their cronies are "stealing everything worth owning". That\'s also a reason to own Bitcoin starting now... The Fed can\'t "print" Bitcoins and the government cannot confiscate them (if they\'re stored properly). \n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnyhow, I need to go buy the dip now.', 'ie90c1'], ['u/jcoinner', 12, '2020-08-22 03:35', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ie90c1/time_to_buy_in/g2e11o3/', 'Only a super heavy duty blender can do that.', 'ie90c1']]], ['u/SpockSays', 'Does the lightning network have "equal" qualities to the base layer of the bitcoin protocol?', 29, '2020-08-22 04:38', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/ieaoga/does_the_lightning_network_have_equal_qualities/', 'For example, the bitcoin protocol when operating on the base layer has these qualities: Finality, uncensorable, unseizable, unfreezable, permissionless, borderless.\n\nThese qualities are what make bitcoin, bitcoin.\n\nDoes using lightning network encompass all of these same qualities?\n\nIf not, what are the trade offs?\n\nIs there a good reading, video, or podcast that covers this specific question with more depth?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/ieaoga/does_the_lightning_network_have_equal_qualities/', 'ieaoga', [['u/andreasma', 19, '2020-08-22 05:23', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/ieaoga/does_the_lightning_network_have_equal_qualities/g2eh26j/', 'Yes, equal and in some of those qualities Lightning is actually better. \n\nFaster finality, better privacy, less censorable.', 'ieaoga']]], ['u/AutoModerator', '[Daily Discussion] Saturday, August 22, 2020', 50, '2020-08-22 06:05', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/', "Thread topics include, but are not limited to:\n\n* General discussion related to the day's events\n* Technical analysis, trading ideas & strategies\n* Quick questions that do not warrant a separate post\n\nThread guidelines:\n\n* Be excellent to each other.\n* Do not make posts outside of the daily thread for the topics mentioned above.\n\nOther ways to interact:\n\n* [Get an invite](https://join.slack.com/t/reddit-bitcoinmarkets/shared_invite/enQtNjM1NTg3ODgwODUzLTQ2NjZjYjYxMWExZmZmMWY0MDNlN2JlM2RhZmM0NWY1YzY1MDlkOTMyNWFjNTZjYTg1ZDM2YmEwMWRkZjIwYjM) to live chat on [our Slack group](https://reddit-bitcoinmarkets.slack.com/)\n* Set your flair to trade pretend money in [the Flair Game](https://coinsight.org/flairgame)\n* Weekly threads: [Newbie Mondays](http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/search?q=newbie+monday&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all) and [Fundamentals Fridays](http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/search?q=fundamentals+friday&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all)\n* Altcoins Discussion: [Altcoin Discussion](http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/search?q=altcoin+discussion&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/', 'iebvi7', [['u/my_alt_account', 15, '2020-08-22 07:25', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/g2eyyz3/', "I'm buying this dip.", 'iebvi7'], ['u/freq-ee', 24, '2020-08-22 07:46', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/g2f2852/', 'I think people lose perspective.

The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day for the majors on Saturday. EOS (+3.48%), Tezos (+5.69%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.61%) led the way.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.08% to $11,664.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $11,694.5 before falling to a low $11,660.5. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.06%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.33%), and Cardano’s ADA (+0.07% found early support. It was bearish for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 1.51% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,578 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,787. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out Saturday’s high $11,692.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,901 and resistance at $12,000. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,578 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,465 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid the second major support level at $11,256. In the event of an extended sell-off, Bitcoin could test support at $11,000 before any recovery.

Ideated by former Nexus Mutual and GovBlocks developers, PlotX is challenging the existing prediction market projects with it\'s novel automated and decentralised market making algorithm that allows for on-chain market creation, option pricing, settlement and reward distribution - without the need for any counterparty.\nOn August 4, the first application built on PlotX protocol was launched, allowing users to predict on the markets like "What will be the price of BTC/USDT in the next 1 hour". Apart from the 1 hour markets, 1 day and 1 week markets were also launched. The users with correct predictions earn peer-to-peer rewards.\nIn less than two weeks, over 131 users have placed market predictions using the PlotX dApp, with a strong community forming ahead of September\'s mainnet launch.\nDesigned for attracting high liquidity on event predictions, PlotX has been described as a Uniswap equivalent for prediction markets that taps into the network effects derived from innovations such as automated market making and liquidity mining.\nThe product of intensive open source development, PlotX was originally conceived by Ish Goel, former CTO at Nexus Mutual, Nitika Goel, former Nexus Mutual lead developer, Kartic Rakhra former co-founder at GovBlocks & Satheesh Ananthasubramanian, ex-Cognizant & BORN.\nInspired by the success of Nexus Mutual and GovBlocks, PlotX aims to follow a decentralized and pragmatic approach to governance with the community being involved in all governance decisions such as dispute resolution, addition of new types of markets, vertical expansion etc. Community members will be able to raise proposals and vote, with decisions being implemented automatically via smart contracts, all on the Ethereum blockchain.\nAbout PlotX\nPlotX (dubbed as the Uniswap of Prediction Markets) is a non-custodial protocol written using the Solidity language that can allow predictions for any price feed, with the ability to create markets, settle markets through third-party oracles and distribute rewards peer-to-peer on the Ethereum Blockchain. Markets once initiated are automatically created in intervals of 1h, 1d and 1w.\nThe PlotX smart contracts eradicate the counterparty risk in market creation & settlements. It also aims to solve the liquidity problem that has marred the growth of prediction market protocols in the past. Built on the foundation of strong on-chain governance and risk spread mechanism, PlotX provides an opportunity for users to use their skills in predicting the future value of any asset and develop the protocol to suit their prediction market ideas.\nFounded by former Nexus Mutual & GovBlocks developers, PlotX has the potential to disrupt the prediction market space in the DeFI ecosystem, winning on its simplicity and fun factor.\nFor more information seehttps://www.plotx.io/\nMedia Contact:\nDan [email protected]+972-545-464-238SOURCE: PlotX\nView source version on accesswire.com:https://www.accesswire.com/602890/Former-Nexus-Mutual-CTO-Launches-PlotX--a-Uniswap-for-Prediction-Markets', 'SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2020 / PlotX, a non-custodial prediction market protocol has been launched on the Ethereum Kovan Testnet.

Although the IRS is generally not beginning new audits until after the new July 15 tax filing and payment deadline, you could still be audited after the deadline has passed. Fortunately, your chances of being audited are small — only 0.5% of the tax returns filed in 2017 were audited, according to the latest IRS data. However, that small fraction still amounts to nearly 1 million tax filers getting audited, so it can happen if you’re not careful. So that you’re prepared, these are the red flags the IRSlooks out for when reviewing your tax returns. Last updated: July 2, 2020 “The IRS often identifies red flags through automated computer programs,” said Nate Smith, director in theCBIZ MHMNational Tax Office. “Almost all returns submitted to the IRS are analyzed by a computer program to search for an anomaly or a result that deviates from norms. Under this program, each return is assigned a score, which the IRS calls a ‘DIF’ (Discriminate Function) score. The DIF score is used by the IRS to identify returns for examination.” One factor that would negatively impact a DIF score is a charitable contribution deduction that is disproportionate with your overall amount of income, Smith said. Make sure the income you report matches exactly what it states on your Forms W-2 and 1099. Any mismatches are considered a red flag, Smith said. “The IRS sent around 10,000 letters last July to taxpayers who participated in virtual currency transactions — Bitcoin, etc. — and who did not report gains or losses involving virtual currency,” Smith said. “These letters offer taxpayers participation in a voluntary disclosure program if they find that virtual currency transactions were omitted from prior tax filings.” “The IRS is always on the lookout for both unreported income and high expenses,” said Dave Du Val, chief customer advocacy officer atTaxAudit. “Self-preparers should be cautious of accidental duplication of employee and business expenses, and of taking losses on activities that might be a hobby rather than a business activity.” Make the Right Moves:What Can I Write Off on My Taxes? “The IRS loves to pounce on people who report high itemized deductions,” Du Val said. “It’s fine to claim these legally allowable deductions for your actual qualifying expenses, but make sure you have your documentation on-hand to support your position before you file your tax return.” Du Val notes that 2017 was the last year that unreimbursed employee business expenses were allowed to be deducted on federal returns. “(However), many states — such as California — will still allow the deduction, so it’s still important to hold onto receipts,” he said. “Tax returns with what appears to be inflated rental expenses are frequently caught in the IRS net,” Du Val said. “Some of the deductions on the Schedule E for rental income, where the income and expenses for rentals are reported, can be easily misinterpreted. Those who prepare their own tax returns should take the time to understand the deductions they are claiming. Not knowing the difference between a deductible expense and one that must be capitalized over a number of years could result in a disaster in an audit. This is especially true if you rent a room(s) to a roommate, as ‘common-use’ areas are not allowed as rental areas.” When two people claim the same dependent, the IRS gets involved. “Although separated and divorced parents who have custody have the clear advantage, they still have to prove everything by providing birth certificates, school records and more,” Du Val said. Du Val said that those who file using the head of household filing status are often questioned because the way you categorize dependents with this status can be confusing. “The new tax reform bill has not made the rules any easier to understand; in fact, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there is a new $500 credit for what the IRS calls ‘qualifying relatives’ who are not necessarily people who are even related to you, but who meet certain tests and are not eligible for the child tax credit,” he said. If your expenses are high but the income you are reporting is not, this could be a red flag for the IRS. “For example, a taxpayer who claims a deduction for mortgage interest on a million-dollar mortgage (or the new $750,000 mortgage limit) and personal property taxes on expensive vehicles has a good chance of showing up on the IRS’s radar if their taxable income is not enough to pay these expenses,” Du Val said. A Schedule C for self-employment that reports just the “right ratio” of income and expenses to qualify the taxpayer for a large earned income credit is a red flag, Du Val said. “The available credit is as high as $6,557 for 2019 for a taxpayer whose income is below a certain threshold,” he said. “Taxpayers who claim EIC and whose returns include a Schedule C business form should be prepared to show proof of all expenses, and even income listed on the return.” Be Prepared:These Are the Receipts To Keep for Doing Your Taxes Some people who claim this deduction don’t actually qualify for it. “To be eligible the owner needs to have a contemporaneously written log showing that they have put in a minimum of 250 hours of non-investor type activity hours into the rentals,” Du Val said. “Examples do not include such activities as commuting to the rental, reviewing the records or preparing a tax return. Meeting this requirement does not automatically qualify a taxpayer to be considered a ‘real estate professional’ for tax purposes, or to exclude this income from the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) calculation.” The law requires Americans with foreign financial accounts to report accounts to the U.S. Treasury Department, even if they don’t generate any taxable income. The Bank Secrecy Act requires you to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) if you have financial interest in, signature authority or other authority over one or more accounts in a foreign country and the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year, according to the IRS. Failure to report these accounts could land you in hot water with the IRS. If you don’t disclose overseas accounts, the IRS might find out about them anyway because foreign institutions are required to disclose account holdings by U.S. citizens, CNBC reported. Hopefully being aware of these red flags will prevent you from being audited — but if you do end up hearing from the IRS, here’s what to do to be prepared. To defend yourself during a tax audit, you’ll need documentation to back up what you claimed on your return. The documentation you will need will depend on what it is you’re being audited for but can include receipts, bills, canceled checks, employee documents, legal papers, loan agreements, trip logs, medical or dental records, theft or loss documents, business trip tickets or a Schedule K-1. The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS that protects taxpayer rights and assists with tax-related problems. If you’re audited, you can contact the service for help. Most audits are conducted via correspondence, but if you do need to meet with an auditor in-person, consider hiring an attorney or another advocate to represent you. “The best thing to do if you’re subject to an IRS audit is to hire someone and authorize them to go to the audit,” said Paul Joseph, an attorney, CPA and founder of Joseph & Joseph, LLC. “Never go yourself. In fact, my clients don’t go at all. It is my position that I never let my clients come to an audit because they are expected to know all of the answers immediately. By not having the client attend the audit, they’ll have an opportunity to discuss and fully explain the return with the hired professional prior to giving a response to the IRS.” More From GOBankingRates • 100 Ways To Make Your Money Last Until You’re 100 • Here’s How Much Cash You Need Stashed If an Emergency Happens • 31 Hidden Ways You’re Bleeding Money Every Month • 21 Smartest Ways To Invest Your Money Right Now This article originally appeared onGOBankingRates.com:These Red Flags on Your 2019 Tax Return Could Spark Interest From the IRS... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/A_solo_tripper', '[MegaThread] US IRS Cryptocurrency Letter Of 2020', 28, '2020-08-23 00:42', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ies3la/megathread_us_irs_cryptocurrency_letter_of_2020/', "I just received a letter in the mail from the IRS stating that they are aware that I have crypto, and did not claim it yet.

I wrote a book called Taxation is Slavery: The Biblical Case for Libertarian Politics. Among many other things, this book argues that fiat money-printing is a form of immoral counterfeiting, and that we should attempt to secede from the fiat power structures by using cryptocurrency. To live that out, I was determined to find a way to sell the book directly to readers, completely peer-to-peer. In this way, I\'m helping to "close the loop". I\'m giving people something good to spend their (crypto) money on, without either them or me ever having to convert it to fiat.\n\nThe book also includes a brief sub-chapter on how the very existence of Bitcoin should force many Christians to re-evaluate the way they understand Jesus\' statement about "giving to Ceasar what is Caesar\'s". Bitcoin has no president or king\'s face on it. There is no engraving of any Caesar. Thinking this through might be of interest to many Bitcoin fans :)\n\nReady to see it in action?\n\nYou can test out the payment gateway by seeing how I use it on my own site.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slipped by 0.17% on Sunday. Following a 1.37% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 2.19% to $11,663.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $11,709.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,787, Bitcoin slid to a late morning intraday low $11,538.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,465, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $11,736. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,787, Bitcoin fell back to $11,650 levels before finding support. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday. Litecoin and Stellar’s Lumen rose by 0.53% and by 0.60% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Cardano’s ADA (-3.17%), Monero’s XMR (-3.73%) and Tron’s TRX (-3.52%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-1.71%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.12%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.57%), EOS (-1.36%), Ethereum (-1.23%), and Tezos (-1.85%) also struggled. Ripple’s XRP (-0.42%) saw modest losses on the day. For the week, it was a bearish for the majors, however. Tezos (-17.18%), EOS (-14.44%), Tron’s TRX (-13.82%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-13.10%), Cardano’s ADA (-12.59%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-10.86%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-7.18%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-6.49%), Ethereum (-9.92%), Litecoin (-5.22%), and Ripple’s XRP (-6.52%) also struggled. Monero’s XMR fell by just 0.22%, however. In the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $384.00bn before sliding to a Saturday low $338.58bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $349.94bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.97% before rising to a Wednesday high 62.00%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.41%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.31% to $11,627.3. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,667 to a low $11,605.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down by 1.46% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $11,646 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,753. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out Sunday’s high $11,736.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,844 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $11,646 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,555 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,500 and the second major support level at $11,448. In the event of an extended sell-off, Bitcoin could test the third major support level at $11,250 before any recovery.

The move to trial comes after the legal team for the estate of David Kleiman, Wright’s deceased former business partner, was denied an omnibus motion filed in May attempting to sanction Wright over his alleged misbehavior. “According to Plaintiffs [Ira Kleimanet al.], throughout the litigation Defendant [Craig Wright] has engaged in a sustained pattern of perjury, forged evidence, misleading filings and obstruction,” according to acourt orderfiled Wednesday.

In response to Kleiman’s omnibus motion, Wright had responded with his own motion citing an expert witness, a psychologist who had diagnosed him with autism.

Ami Klin, a licensed clinical psychologist who has studied Autism Spectrum Disorder for more than 35 years, … will testify that he has diagnosed Dr. Wright with Autism Spectrum Disorder with high intellectual skills,” Wright’s response,hosted by court listener, says. Judge Bloom commented that “[A]s Plaintiffs note, Defendant’s testimony has been glaringly inconsistent at numerous junctures. Defendant, however, stresses that he has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, and thus his testimony needs to be evaluated in that light.” Citing the need to meet a “clear and convincing evidence standard,” Bloom said “Plaintiffs have not carried their burden to show that default sanctions are appropriate.” The court had previously threatened to sanction Wright if he did not produce a list of his bitcoin holdings. However, the judge said he has since “purportedly” done so.

The trove of bitcoin was allegedly mined by Wright with Kleiman in the early days of bitcoin.

Today's Key News: ['Decentralized finance (DeFi) credit market Aave has pulled ahead of stablecoin mint MakerDAO for the title of most collateral staked on Ethereum, according to DeFi Pulse . Aave now has $1.47 billion worth of different crypto assets staked for credit lines, while MakerDAO has $1.45 billion in total value locked (TVL). “Reaching the highest TVL was possible due to the wide range of developers building on top of Aave who are expressing their innovation in DeFi,” Stani Kulechov, Aave CEO, told CoinDesk. “This innovation has sparked interest from institutions [that] are now dipping their toes into Aave.” Related: First Mover: Ether Price Swings Make Bitcoin Look Tame as DeFi Speculation Spreads Read more: What Is Yield Farming? The Rocket Fuel of DeFi, Explained This is only the second time a project has had more “total value locked” (TVL) than MakerDAO, as measured by DeFi Pulse. On June 20, fueled by a yield farming rush spurred on by the initial distribution of its governance token COMP, Compound took the lead for collateral locked up until late July. For context, though, when MakerDAO and Compound switched positions, each had about $480 million in TVL. MakerDAO now has well over twice the collateral locked up as it had then. In the recent surge of interest in DeFi, four projects have now broken $1 billion in assets as measured by DeFi Pulse at different times: MakerDAO, Compound, Aave and Curve.

As recently as June 28, the spread was as low of -2.8%, meaning bitcoin had the higher implied volatility at that point.\nVolatility often carries a negative\xa0connotation because traders often consider it a barometer of risk. In this case the rising spread appears to\xa0indicate\xa0a wide range of expectations in how\xa0DeFi might ultimately affect usage of the Ethereum network and demand for the ether.\n“Ether’s\xa0rising volatility\xa0is a byproduct of its own success,”\xa0Denis Vinokourov, head of research at Bequant, a London-based cryptocurrency exchange and institutional brokerage, said in a Telegram chat.\xa0\xa0“Success comes with risks, the need to hedge.”\nImplied volatility represents the market’s expectations of how volatile or risky an asset would be over a specific period. It’s not necessarily bullish or bearish: Heightened implied volatility simply means that\xa0future price swings might lie ahead.\nRelated:Forthcoming Yield Farming Project Dispenses With Governance\n“Investors are focused on DeFi and mindful of a potential big move in ETH,” Emmanuel Goh, CEO of the crypto-derivatives data firm Skew, told CoinDesk in a Telegram chat.\nDeFi\xa0tokens have been among the hottest performers in cryptocurrency markets this year, with\xa0steep rallies in\xa0Chainlink’sLINKand the\xa0Kyber Network’s KNC.\xa0The open-source lending protocol Aave’s LEND token has risen\xa0more than 30-fold.\nThe Ethereum\xa0network’s recent spell of congestion has pushed\xa0the average transaction fee to record highs above $6.\nThe heightened volatility expectations might also be an indication of how volatile prices have been this year for ether itself. The second-largest cryptocurrency has tripled, gaining on bitcoin, which is up a respectable 64%.\nDemand for options, or the need to hedge, tends to pick up with price rallies and major fundamental developments, and\xa0implied volatilities are primarily driven by the net buying pressure for options contracts like price calls and puts.\nThis is what success looks like right now for Ethereum.\n– Omkar Godbole, Markets Reporter\nDespite the recent pullback in bitcoin prices, analysts are still bullish in the long term, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expected to bolster inflation expectations in a highly anticipated speech Thursday.\n• “Powell has previously stated that he doesn’t think inflation is a significant risk and is prepared to see it overshoot to meet his objectives,” Charlie Morris, chief investment officer at ByteTree Asset Management, told CoinDesk in a WhatsApp chat.\n• “The major impact for crypto out of this symposium would be a change in monetary policy and further depreciation of the dollar, which could propel bitcoin higher,” said Matthew Dibb, co-founder of Stack.\n• Multiple rejections above $12,000 seen over the past three weeks have put brakes on the rally fro Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

He is an organizing member of theEthereal Summit and Sessions, host ofThe Ethereal Podcastand a weekly contributor toThe DefiantandBankless. Ethereum has always been difficult to explain. Even the founders of Ethereum have sometimes struggled to communicate the project’s transformative potential in layperson’s terms. Metaphors such as “world computer” and “gas” tried to translate Ethereum to the world, but looking back it’s clear how little we understood about the platform’s true capabilities. By 2017, big promises were being made that Ethereum would “bank the unbanked.” But that promise seemed to go largely unfulfilled in the wake of the initial coin offering (ICO) craze. Nevertheless, the oft-repeated slogan represented the first attempt to describe Ethereum’s potential to transform personal finance. Related:Huobi Hires Former Banking Giant Executive to Lead New DeFi Fund See also:Ethereum History in 5 Charts While the ICO mania showed Ethereum’s potential as a distributive technology that could emulate, improve upon and democratize the initial stock offering, what was missing then was a simple personal financial use case that could be demonstrated to a friend, such as a mobile app. In those early days, there were many white papers, promises and signs of progress by a few teams (some of which have led to the top DeFi projects such as ChainLink, Kyber, and Set), but most of the benefits had yet to be delivered. Meanwhile, there were lots of inspiring speakers from the Ethereum community who drew us into believing Ethereum would change the world. It just required a patient newcomer willing to wade through new ideas, intricate foreign concepts and a firehose of new information daily. Nothing was a simple elevator pitch. When I saw Joe Lubin speak at Ethereal SF 2017, there was an inspiring message to take home. A lot of detail flew over my head at the time, but if you listened carefully it was impossible to not buy the idea that Ethereum could change the world for the better. Related: It’s worth noting that in 2017, ConsenSys and other early adopters and builders were also educating institutional players and enterprise software companies on how they could benefit from many blockchain use cases on Ethereum. Partnerships with Microsoft, IBM and Hyperledger helped cement Ethereum’s credibility in the enterprise blockchain race. See also:How the EEA Made Ethereum Palatable to Big Business Fast forward to July 2018, when I started full-time work in Ethereum. We were all recovering from the hangover of 2017, thinking the bull run might return sooner before watching markets unravel and get even bloodier. We were emerging from an era without a coherent elevator pitch to be easily understood, including language that sounded like it had come from a “Big Bang Theory” script. I recognized that Ethereum had to find any small group of fanatical users. For better or worse, I began drawing on my experience in SaaS, which taught me that startups need loyal users who find so much utility in an application that, if it were taken away, they wouldn’t have an alternative. By spring 2019, I am working full time on theEthereal Summit, a series of events celebrating the founders and builders of the decentralized web on Ethereum. It was around then that Ethereum’s narrative began to change. I heard about Compound, where you can lend and borrow – similar to MakerDAO, but with better loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. I was astonished – $50 MILLION in an app built on Ethereum! It was exhilarating to learn a second finance application had been built, launched and had been running on Ethereum for more than six months. All this activity came to be known as decentralized finance, or DeFi. The term was coined in 2018 by members of the 0x team, but the industry was just getting going. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I began researching every project we were hosting at Ethereal –PoolTogether,KyberArgentandZerion. And I did something even more radical: I began testing and using the damn products! See also:Why DeFi on Ethereum Is Like Algorithmic Trading in the ‘90s I needed to see my investment make money to realize the power of these DeFi applications. I started lendingdaion Compound for over 10% APY and it just clicked. I’m lending dai and others borrow that money, but there’s no bank to collect the middleman fees. So, in turn, I earn better lending interest and borrowers pay smaller fees, and without know your customer (KYC) or anyone’s permission. What stood in the way of DeFi mass adoption was better storytelling and more visual demonstration of how DeFi can work for anyone It had long been a talking point in crypto the user experience (UX) had to improve for Ethereum to see adoption, but I found those same people espousing such criticisms often had zero experience with DeFi applications. It seemed like a lie that had stuck around long enough to become a truth, even though I was finding some DeFi UX better than my experience with legacy banking. For me, what stood in the way of DeFi mass adoption was better storytelling and more visual demonstration of how DeFi can work for anyone.EthHub.ioand Cami Russo’sThe Defiantwere already doing lots of legwork in this space but there was clearly more to build upon. In late 2019, the DeFi community was still small compared to today, only a few thousand or possibly even a few hundred users, but it felt like we were on a bustling rocket ship of excitement. We rallied around this term DeFi, the simplest term to describe any peer-to-peer finance app built on Ethereum, requiring a Web 3 wallet like MetaMask, that doesn’t need KYC and has no single point of failure. IfETHis money, DeFi is your bank. What started as a concept is now an economy of interlinked applications with more than $4 billion in value invested. But it’s more than just money. DeFi has changed the way people think about Ethereum itself and given rise to new narratives and memes. Shortly after this spark was really gaining momentum in the fall 2019, DeFi users naturally found a second totem to rally around. That was the concept of Total Value Locked (TLV), coined by the team atDeFi Pulse. TVL refers to the sum of all value deposited into a DeFi app’s smart contracts, whether that’s measured in U.S. dollars (USD) or in ETH. TVL reflected a new, un-gameable metric for adoption. It was a way to compare how much trust DeFi users put into an application. It has its flaws, but those flaws are no worse than reducing Bitcoin to its price. See also: Nathaniel Whittemore –‘Stacking Sats’ vs. ‘ETH Is Money’ – The Memes That Shaped 2019 DeFi also helped solidify the “ETH is money” meme. As co-host of the Bankless Podcast David Hoffman said,ETH is a triple-point asset,because it acts as a store-of-value, a capital asset, and a consumable asset. “ETH is Money” is an intentional pivot from “ETH is gas,” and updates the world on how ETH is actually used on Ethereum. Plain and simple: ETH is money. It always has been money and to label it otherwise was a product marketing mistake in the early days of Ethereum. Yield farming is the latest viral meme in Ethereum. DeFi is a larger all-encompassing category of p2p, self-custody, KYC-less, finance apps built on Ethereum, but yield farming describes a popular incentives program where you often provide liquidity to a DeFi application in exchange for a combination of rewards. As Dan Elitzer of IDEO CoLab Ventures put it,yield farming is like aquaponicsbecause it creates a symbiotic relationship between DeFi protocols, meaning DeFi participants can earn three or more forms of yield such as interest, market-making fees and pooled rewards such as a governance token like BAL or COMP. Because of the most composable incentive designs in DeFi, yield farming (aka “liquidity mining”) is like passive income on steroids, with programs delivering anywhere from 10-200% daily APY on average. Five years ago, you could argue Ethereum was attempting to do too much. Even two to three years ago, that was still a valid hypothesis, with stagnant adoption. Today, the bold experiment of Ethereum is working. Alongside the $4 billion in assets deposited into DeFi, we’ve seen a 227% year-on-year increase in ETH locked in DeFi, and a 20X increase in tokenizedBTCon Ethereum (equivalent to ~$220 million) since January 1. See also:One Billion, Two Billion, Three Billion, Four? DeFi’s Knocking on TradFi’s Door What was a drawback – doing “too much” – is now a strength and a reason why Ethereum’s daily transaction volume and daily network fees have eclipsed Bitcoin’s. Although Ethereum is less than half Bitcoin’s age, it has accomplished more in the last five years, building the most advanced permissionless p2p finance system in the world while Bitcoin has continued to champion the narrower digital gold meme. It’s getting easier every day to point to DeFi apps that clearly demonstrate value and utility you cannot find elsewhere. If you’ve managed to ignore these developments, now is as good a time as ever to catch yourself up. The story of DeFi and Ethereum is just getting started. • Five Years In, DeFi Now Defines Ethereum • Five Years In, DeFi Now Defines Ethereum... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

But we are not only targeting 20 or 40 businesses,” said Issembert. “We are focused on the next generation of commerce, the new unicorns; firms that you don’t have to convince the best approach is an open system.”\nIt should be pointed out that Volvo has blazed a trail when it comes totracking the minerals used in electric car batterieswith the help of Hyperledger Fabric.

(In terms of new entrants to the enterprise blockchain space, there have also beensome interesting moves from the EOS ecosystem, particularly in Latin America.)\n“It could be smart contracts, which actually will function as marketplaces for you and your whole procurement sector,” said Fønss Schrøder. “I think about what Maersk has been doing, but the disadvantage for Maersk is that this should never have been built on a permission-based blockchain; it should have been permissionless. But that’s the kind of logistical use case I’m sure we will be able to support.”\nVolvo board member Fønss Schrøder also sees plenty of uses for open blockchains in the car industry, across secondary markets, for instance, and the service agreements that come with that.\n“Nearly every car sold by Volvo has some kind of lease arrangement or car-care, and blockchain is well suited to support this on the insurance side and on the service side,” said Fønss Schrøder.\nAs far as the ZKP secret sauce, Issembert called this the “backbone of the network,” but could not disclose details.\n“For the ZKP design approach, we are going to come to the market with our own solution.

Twitter on Wednesday said it has fixed a vulnerability in the Android app that for some users "could allow an attacker, through a malicious app installed on your device, to access private Twitter data on your device (like direct messages), by working around Android system permissions that protect against this." This was "related to an underlying Android OS security issue" on Android OS versions 8 and 9, the company said. Twitter said it believes 96 percent of Android users have a patch protecting them from the vulnerability, and it doesn't have evidence that attackers actually exploited the flaw, but the company adds it "can't be completely sure" of that. It's sending notifications to the users who may have been affected, requiring them to update the Android app, and promising to identify "changes to our processes to better guard against issues like this." This disclosure from Twitter comes after the company last month grappled with a massive hack, in which high-profile accounts including those belonging to former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden were taken over to promote a Bitcoin scam. The company said that 130 accounts were targeted, and the attackers accessed direct messages on "up to 36" of them, including that of an elected official in the Netherlands.

During this meeting, the alleged hacker made an inducement of $1 million in cash or Bitcoin to the employee, raising the amount from a proposed $500,000 earlier during their discussions at the bar.\nOn August 19, the employee wearing a listening device from the FBI met with Kriuchkov, who offered him a $11,000 advance. The alleged hacker then told the Gigafactory worker that the project was delayed and related payments would be made at a later time as well.

And as of July 9, the stock just tagged the moon above $133, for over 25% gains this month alone. Apparently (some of) the blind have begun to see. Meanwhile, UBS and BofA offered downgrades to "Sell" and "Underperform" in May after the company's latest quarterly report when shares had just gotten back above $70. And I think yesterday, a Cowen analyst made a much more timely downgrade after SQ's "200% rally" from the Coronavirus Crash lows. Lowering their rating to Market Perform from Outperform, they also thought they should raise their price target from $79 to something a little more respectable like $119. Obviously I have a personal story here. In the first quarter of 2018, I became a huge Square fan after I fully grasped the ecosystem they were building for small business to get stuff done seamlessly and effortlessly. Honestly, I may not have noticed but for my wife who was using the Square app for her various farmer's markets and craft fairs where she sold everything from home-made goat's milk soap to fresh crepes made with eggs and veges from our small hobby farm. We actually had the chance to buy some SQ shares before the IPO in late 2015 -- another genius idea from Jack Dorsey to give customers the first crack at shares near $10 -- and we sold them for pocket change as the stock did little in 2016. So I get the first "Stupid Award" for not grasping the potential of this evolving fintech ecosystem. But in early 2018, I told my TAZR Trader group that "this Square thing" was a potential FinTech revolution to be reckoned with, especially as Blockchain/Bitcoin mania was in the air. We were buyers of SQ in the $42-45 range and I thought we could set-it-and-forget-it for a double in the next 2 years. Story continues And still, most analysts didn't see or care about Square's disruption potential. Unfortunately, I listened to them and sold our shares for small gains of 20% or less. Then, of course, SQ went to $100 in mid 2018. So, I also get the second "Stupid Award" as I missed the first SQ kiss of $100. But I attempted to redeem my ways in early 2019 with this call... Square is the Apple of FinTech By this comparison, I wasn't implying that the Square credit card swiping device was going to rival the iPhone in terms of sales. The idea was more about getting people into the ecosystem where they would likely never leave because built-in accounting software, cash-flow and sales tools, and friendly loans based on your growth were just what the small business person always needed. And I was emboldened in this view by two voices. The first was the stand-out bull on Square, Dan Dolev of Nomura Instinet. Dolev was tracking downloads of payments apps to compare growth between Square's Cash App and PayPal 's (PYPL) Venmo. In January of 2019, he found that the gap between downloads grew to 4.2 million, favoring Cash App. His data showed that Square's Cash App had 45.3 million cumulative downloads, topping 41.2 million for Venmo. Dolev then modeled his expectations that the current revenue of $3 per user would continue to expand and projected that the Cash App could contribute nearly $100 million in adjusted revenue for Square by 2020. At the time, he reiterated his $110 price target on Square. Made sense to me. But the second voice didn't just make sense -- it was golden enough to make headlines. Here was my report on February 26, 2019... Square On Deck, and on Jamie's Mind SQ reports Wednesday after the close if you are not ready to face the prospect of slowing growth, you should exit beforehand. I'll be riding into the unknown to see if they keep delivering and the stock breaks out above $80. Someone else wishes he were riding the disruptive wave of "FinTech" too. And that would be one CEO of a little bank called JPMorgan. Here was the excellent story today in American Banker... JPMorgan's Dimon: Square innovated where we should have By Andy Peters February 26 2019, 4:54pm EST Jamie Dimon confessed on Tuesday to having a little bit of Square envy. During JPMorgan Chase’s yearly investor day in New York, the bank’s chairman and CEO was asked what companies could get steamrolled by his bank, which has emerged as a financial-services disruptor. JPMorgan is investing billions of dollars per year in technology and recently rolled out its own online-only bank, dubbed Finn, and is set to become the first U.S. bank to launch its cryptocurrency. But rather than answer that question directly, Dimon responded by praising a company, Square, that has done things he wishes JPMorgan Chase had done. “They came up with this little dongle to process stuff and it was a great idea,” Dimon said. Square then built off the success of its card-reader to provide other services to its business customers, such as wider variety of point-of-sale systems that allow merchants to accept cash or card payments. It also provides merchants with tablets and software that allows them to track sales patterns, inventory and other important data. “We didn’t give them that opportunity, Square did," Dimon said. Finally, Dimon lamented that Square beat JPMorgan to the punch in making online loans to small businesses. Square Capital, its online lending arm, began offering business loans in early 2014 — nearly two years before JPMorgan began making its own digital small-business loans via a partnership with fintech lender OnDeck Capital. Square "said, 'you know what, since we know this company and they might need an advance this time of the year, we might advance them $10,000 or $15,000 or $100,000,'” Dimon said. “They did all this stuff we could have done that we didn’t do.” (end of excerpt from American Banker article by Andy Peters) Click the article link above to find out more about what's on Jamie's mind concerning a "$40 trillion investments market." Fear That "Anyone Can Copy Square" As clear as Dimon's confession sounded, very few were truly listening between the lines. They must have thought he meant "Oh sure, Square got there first. But we'll catch up." But I think what his admission really meant was "This thing is going to be a monster at attracting and keeping new small business!" Here was typical analyst call that I profiled in May of 2019... Some say the Square has hit peak growth. The team at SunTrust, for instance... Square price target lowered to $65 from $75 at SunTrust: Analyst Andrew Jeffrey lowered his price target on Square to $65 to reflect its below-consensus Q2 guidance, saying that while he is positive on the company's above-average organic revenue and EBITDA growth, a "significant deceleration" may be coming. The analyst cites "robust competition in new vertical markets" that will demand Square to boost its investment levels on a structural basis and also warns that margin growth may slow as the company goes after larger retailer customers. Jeffrey kept his Hold rating on Square. And in a special report I wrote for my TAZR group titled "The Apple of FinTech" on 5/2/19 -- the day after what appeared to be another disappointing quarterly report and growth outlook -- I looked at all the worries about competition from established payments giants who were busy getting bigger with M&A... BTIG analyst Mark Palmer reiterated his "Sell" recommendation on Square this week, and other investors apparently agree as shares are down nearly 10% again. He believes that Square faces tougher competition as it vies for larger customers. Palmer points to the company's challenges in growing its total addressable market. Its initial market of "micro-merchants" is limited he thinks, so as it seeks to increase its customer base by appealing to larger sellers, Square naturally faces more competition. That's shown up in Square's Q1 gross payment volume (GPV), which fell short of Palmer's estimate, and weaker-than-expected Q2 adjusted EPS guidance. "We believe SQ’s GPV deceleration and its unusual quarterly guidance miss may indicate that competition among larger merchants may be becoming more of a headwind for the company," the analyst told investors in research note. He specifically pointed to competition from First Data, PayPal and Shopify, as well as big banks. Now, I'll admit I was emboldened when Jamie Dimon openly revealed his admiration and envy for the Square model and accomplishments in February at their Investor Day. I thought his comments knighted the brand as doing what no one else was doing. Not First Data, not PayPal -- and if Shopify wants to build their own FinTech for their merchants, it would be hard pressed to have the capabilities of Square. I didn't believe he granted Square an impenetrable moat. But he recognized how quickly the company evolved beyond a mere disruptive piece of hardware and software to an entire ecosystem of small business-friendly tools and services. Apparently, according to some analysts, the competition can race in now that the field has been plowed. But I have long believed that Square's brand and vision would capture most of that new business. And if Jack Dorsey's people aren't talking to Amazon, Ebay, Shopify, Instagram and Etsy about making their merchants lives easier, I would be very surprised. That was the big vision... that Square could become a new type of bank that captured the loyalty of the small business person with personalization, transparency, and FinTech power tools. Even in light of the big FinTech mega-mergers we've discussed here, I thought that any of these nameless, faceless old-line payment processors would want and need the Square brand to put a human face on their FinTech. Our old-line TSYS (TSS) is trying to adapt to the new world of mobile, on-demand, seamless transactions and that's why we own it.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.78% on Friday. Reversing a 1.12% decline from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,545.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning intraday low $11,303.0 to a mid-afternoon intraday high $11,567.0. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin came within range of the first major resistance level at $11,586. A late afternoon pullback saw Bitcoin fall to sub-$11,500 levels before a final hour move back through to $11,500 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Friday. Binance Coin slipped by 0.13% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Monero’s XMR and EOS rallied by 5.92% and by 4.63% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.42%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.01%), Ethereum (+3.18%), Litecoin (+2.28%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.59%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.01%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.80%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.55%) and Tezos (+1.52%) trailed the front runners on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $360.52bn before falling to a Tuesday low $329.92bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $346.76bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.80% before rising to a Tuesday high 62.13%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.33%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.19% to $11,523.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,555.0 to a low $11,483.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.36%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.18%), Litecoin (+0.10%), Monero’s XMR (+0.19%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.62%) found early support. Story continues It was bearish for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down by 0.68% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,472 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,640. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,600 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,700 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $11,736. A fall through the $11,472 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,376 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,000 levels. The second major support level at $11,208 should limit any downside.

Can anyone give me advice on what I should and shouldn’t be doing in that process?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/iihjha/running_a_full_node/', 'iihjha', [['u/bitusher', 21, '2020-08-29 01:12', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/iihjha/running_a_full_node/g36r3ib/', '>Is it worth running my own full node?\n\nAbsolutely!\n\nHere is why --\n\nRunning software that fully validates all the rules like - https://btcinformation.org/en/wallets/desktop/windows/bitcoincore/\n\nArchival full nodes contain the full blockchain and allow new nodes to bootstrap from them . Current blockchain size is ~300GB for an archival node\n\nPruned nodes can get down to around 5GB , and have all the same security and privacy benefits of archival nodes but need to initially download the whole blockchain for full validation before deleting it (It actually prunes as it validates)\n\nYou are only truly p2p if you are running a full node . running light clients depend upon you trusting a middleman and typically only validate block headers. Light clients are exposed to many more threats full nodes are not. There are also privacy concerns with light clients that full nodes are secure against. The whitepaper only suggests SPV "light" nodes in the context of fraud alerts(proofs) existing but thus far none exist and therefore you shouldn\'t trust large amounts of btc with a light client.\n\nThe most secure , "active" wallet would be a hardware wallet integrated with a full node . One way to do this easily is to run your own electrum server https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JMP4NZCC5g and than integrate electrum wallet with your HW wallet and connect to your electrum server. A new solution is Blockstream green which works with ledger , trezor one , and trezor model T https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkQ_LXEuSVg\n\nThere are close to 43k full nodes on the bitcoin network .(Some sites show much lower numbers because they exclude most non listening full nodes. )\n\nHere is the stats – \n\nhttp://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html\n\nhttp://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/services.html\n\nHere are all the rules that full nodes validate that light clients almost completely skip-\n\nhttps://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules\n\nThin client / Psuedo SPV weaknesses\nThis is not an exhaustive list and there are many more concerns than this -\n\n1.\tAs we saw in 2017 year Garzik and segwit2x supporters were deliberately attempting to undermine pseudo-SPV nodes/light clients by imposing rule changes that users did not necessarily agree to or where even aware of . Full nodes were immune to this attack vector. light clients would simply follow the most worked chain even if they disagreed with these changes and would also lose out on their ability to claim both sides of the split thus also losing money. \n\n2.\tlight clients fail in privacy for many reasons . They are using a backend server to show you your wallet balances. This immediately links together all your wallet addresses to them. Bloom filtering SPV wallets like Bread wallet, AirBitz are however different, they don’t use a backend server, rather they are leaking information to every blockchain analysis company, who are crawling the Bitcoin network for their bloom filters. \n\n3.\tLight clients fail to validate most of these security rules https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules and therefore must trust a middleman or third party and thus can essentially be manipulated by this company and a multisig of large miners unlike full nodes. This is no longer p2p cash by definition. If you are running a full node it doesn\'t matter if 100% of the miners try and subvert the rules you agree to , they cannot force you to accept blocks or changes you don\'t agree to . It is absolutely critical we enforce and respect the rights of individual bitcoin users.\n\n4.\tVarious sybil attacks can be used in conjunction with lie by omission and say that a block isn\'t there when it actually is--a sort of denial of service attack. \n\nFurther reading on light client security assumptions -\n\n\nhttps://bitcoinj.github.io/security-model\n\nhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.00916.pdf\n\nhttps://bitslog.wordpress.com/2018/06/09/leaf-node-weakness-in-bitcoin-merkle-tree-design/\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16148&v=UVuUZm4l-ss (Peter Todd sends himself 21 million BTC with a thin client)\n\nhttp://www.truthcoin.info/blog/fraud-proofs/', 'iihjha'], ['u/Xanaxtastrophy', 14, '2020-08-29 01:30', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/iihjha/running_a_full_node/g36sz1e/', 'Jesus Fucking Christ I have so much to learn.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.46% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 1.78% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,492.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $11,483.0 before rising to a late morning intraday high $11,606.3. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,640, Bitcoin slid to a late morning intraday low $11,450.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,376, Bitcoin moved back through to $11,500 levels. A bearish end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin slip back to sub-$11,500 levels and into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday. Binance Coin (-0.61%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.47%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.78%), Litecoin (-0.71%), and Monero’s XMR (-2.06%) joined Bitcoin in the red. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA rallied by 6.34% to lead the way. EOS (+0.27%), Ethereum (+0.82%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.80%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.59%), Tezos (+2.65%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.22%) also made gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $360.52bn before falling to a Tuesday low $329.92bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $351.97bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Tuesday high 62.13% before falling to a Saturday low 60.69%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.01%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.36% to $11,648.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $11,480.0 to a high $11,668.4. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,582 early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day. Story continues At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was up by 5.15% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through to sub-$11,600 levels to support a run at the second major resistance level at $11,672. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $11,668.4. Barring an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,700 before any pullback. The third major resistance level sits at $11,829. A fall back through to sub-$11,600 levels and the $11,516 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,426 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,400 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $11,360.

In the week prior, 47 stats had been in focus. For the Dollar: It’s yet another busy week ahead on the economic data front. In the first half of the week, the focus is on August’s ISM Manufacturing PMI and ADP nonfarm employment change figures. Following the impressive Markit survey numbers, the market’s preferred ISM survey will need to be aligned. With sensitivity to labor market conditions remaining high, expect the ADP numbers to also influence. It’s a busier 2 nd half of the week. On Thursday, the ISM Non-manufacturing PMI and weekly jobless claims figures will be key drivers. The focus will then shift to August’s non-farm payrolls and unemployment figures. Any weak numbers and expect risk aversion to sweep across the markets. The Dollar Spot Index ended the week down by 0.94% to 92.371. For the EUR : It’s a busy week ahead on the economic data front. On Tuesday, August manufacturing PMIs for Italy and Spain, and German unemployment figures are due out. Finalized PMIs for France, Germany, and the Eurozone will also draw attention. The focus will then shift to July retail sales figures for Germany on Wednesday, ahead of a busy Thursday. August’s service sector PMIs for Italy and Spain and finalized PMIs for France, Germany, and the Eurozone will also be of interest. Expect the Eurozone’s services and composite PMIs to be the key drivers, however. At the end of the week, German factory order numbers for July will also influence. Expect unemployment and retail sales figures for the Eurozone and prelim August inflation figures for member states to have a muted impact. The EUR/USD ended the week up by 0.90% to $1.1903. For the Pound: It’s a relatively quiet week ahead on the economic calendar . Finalized private sector PMIs for August are in focus in the week. Story continues Any revisions to the prelim figures need to be considered. Expect the services PMI to have the greatest influence in the week. On Friday, August’s BTC Retail Sales Monitor will also draw interest. From the Bank of England, BoE Gov. Bailey is scheduled to speak late on Thursday. The GBP/USD ended the week up by 2.00% to $1.3352. For the Loonie: It’s a busy week ahead on the economic calendar . In the early part of the week, July’s RMPI will influence on Monday. The focus will then shift to July trade figures on Thursday and August’s employment and Ivey PMI numbers on Friday. We would expect August’s employment change figure to have the greatest significance. The Loonie ended the week up by 0.59% to C$1.3099 against the U.S Dollar. Out of Asia For the Aussie Dollar: It’s a busy week ahead on the economic calendar. Early in the week, 2 nd quarter company gross operating profits, July private sector credit, and the AIG Manufacturing Index are in focus. The focus will then shift to 2 nd quarter GDP numbers on Wednesday. Finally, July trade data on Thursday and retail sales figures on Friday will also draw plenty of attention. On the economic data front, expect the GDP and retail sales figures to be the key drivers.

Musk, Obama, Biden Targeted:The tweets from Musk's account said he would double any bitcoin payments sent to a published Bitcoin address. They have since been deleted. "You know I living giving back to my community," one tweet from Musk said. "I'm doubling all BTC payments sent to my address. You send $1,000 and I will send $2,000 back!" After sharing the bitcoin address, the tweet said: "Tell your family & friends! Only going on for 30 minutes." The bitcoin address used in Musk's tweet has been used for 272 transactions at last check,according to Blockchain.com. The hacks began at about 3 p.m. Wednesday,according to CNBC, and were ongoing at the time of publication, with rapper Kanye West, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama among the latest targets. "We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly," Twitter's support account tweeted at 5:45 p.m. Twitter shares were down 4.23% at $34.16 in Wednesday's after-hours session. Musk Targeted By Twitter Impersonators Before:Twitter often has problems with Musk impersonators responding to the CEO's tweets claiming bitcoin giveaways and other scams. But this apparent scam comes directly from Musk's verified account. Musk has posted tweets about the cryptocurrency Dogecoin in the past. Benzinga's Take:Musk has complained about Twitter's ability to control bots in the past. Now it appears hackers have gained access to Musk's account and are flooding Twitter with scam tweets. You should never send money to anyone in this manner over the internet, even when it comes from a verified account, as it is almost always a scam. Dustin Blitchok contributed to this report.

I don\'t think that\'s in any way unethical or against the spirit of flipstarter as long as you still feel obligated to the same extent to fulfill your part of the agreement. Doesn\'t really matter who funds it, even if part of the funding is contributed by the owner of the project himself (in form of money or work doesn\'t matter, boils down to the same thing), does it?\n\nAnother comparison to use in order to understand why partly self-funding a flipstarter is not illegitimate is to look at it like a negotiation. The contributors successfully negotiated the price down by something like 35% (guesstimeate, too lazy to calc). Had you self-funded that part it would mean that the agreement still made sense to you even at that lower price. The contributors would still get what they paid for: your commitment.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 2.07% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.46% decline Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 0.57% to $11,730.0. It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rallied from an early morning intraday low $11,480.0 to a late afternoon high $11,721.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,582 and the second major resistance level at $11,672. Late in the day, Bitcoin fell back to $11,620 levels before breaking back through the second major resistance level at $11,672. The late recovery saw Bitcoin strike an intraday high $11,730 in the final hour. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day for the majors on Sunday. Ethereum (+7.62%), Litecoin (+10.45%), and Tron’s TRX (+8.65%) led the way. Binance Coin (+2.87%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.25%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.32%), EOS (+4.20%), Monero’s XMR (+3.86%), and Ripple’s XRP (+3.28%) also made solid gains. Cardano’s ADA (+0.96%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.01%), and Tezos (+1.13%) trailed the front runners. For the week, it was a mixed bag for the majors, however. Binance Coin (+8.00%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.11%), Ethereum (+9.73%), Litecoin (+3.76%), Monero’s XMR (+6.38%), and Tron’s TRX (+11.05%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.78%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.48%), EOS (-1.92%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.62%), Stellar’s Lumen (-4.55%), and Tezos (-3.75%) saw red. In the week, the crypto total market fell to a Thursday low $329.40bn before rising to a Sunday high $359.74bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $357.31bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 62.28% before falling to a Sunday low 60.17%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.54%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.04% to $11,735.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $11,713.0 before striking a high $11,744.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.77%), EOS (-0.24%), and Ethereum (-0.71%) saw red early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors. At the time of writing, Tezos was up by 0.73% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,647 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,813. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from this morning’s high $11,744.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $11,897 and resistance at $12,000 would likely be tested. A fall through the $11,647 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,563 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,500 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $11,397.

Related: Canadian Software Startup Puts 40% of Cash Reserves Into Bitcoin Over-the-counter crypto trader Henrik Kugelberg expects a bullish, if not record, fourth quarter ahead for bitcoin, even if the number of sluggish market days pile up. “I expect a slower curve but would not be surprised if we reach a $15,000 BTC in October and somewhere around $18,000-$20,000 at year end.” Kugelberg points to the uncertain economy as giving people reason to swap fiat for crypto investments. “There’s the falling value of the dollar to be priced in; we have not seen the end of the dollar’s fall that is for sure,” he added. Indeed, while the U.S. Dollar Index, a measure of the greenback’s strength versus a basket of other fiat currencies, is up 0.52% Friday, it’s still at lows not seen since June 2018. In the bitcoin options market, Neil Van Huis, director of sales and institutional trading at liquidity provider Blockfills, noted volatility decreased this week. Bitcoin’s at-the-money implied volatility, which is a metric to forecast movement in prices, has dropped from 71% Monday to 59% Friday. “Looks like some normalization of volatile trading as of late,” Van Huis said. Opportunities in Ethereum-powered DeFi are taking some traders’ focus away from the bitcoin market, Kugelbrg told CoinDesk. “The crypto community is in a total FOMO to DeFi-related altcoins,” said Kugelberg. “I believe the run-up for bitcoin may be slower than expected and fueled by retail sales to newcomers wanting a somewhat steadier haven.” Related: Ether Volatility Now Highest in Six Months Compared With Bitcoin’s Read More: Barstool’s Dave Portnoy Is Bad at Trading Cryptocurrency Ether options market bearish Ether (ETH) was down Friday, trading around $399 and slipping 3.8% in 24 hours as of 20:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

Today's Key News: ['The 21Shares Bitcoin & Ethereum Product list on the official ‘Regulated’ Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange 1 September 2020 - Vienna \| Zurich - Wiener Börse, the Vienna Stock Exchange, becomes the 3rd exchange venue globally to admit a Bitcoin Product on its official “regulated’ market segment. Following the admission to listing on Deutsche Boerse XETRA in July 2020, Swiss-based ETP issuer 21Shares AG has now brought the first Bitcoin and Ethereum Products to the official market on the Austrian exchange bringing more security, transparency and cost-effective access to investors seeking exposure to this alternative asset class. Starting effectively from 1 st September 2020 the 21Shares Bitcoin ETP ( ABTC - WKN A2T64E - Ticker 21XB) and the 21Shares Ethereum ETP ( AETH - WKN A2T68Z - Ticker 21XE) can be traded on the official market of the Vienna Stock Exchange. As a result of the listing on the Vienna Stock Exchange, the largest exchange in each of the three DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) countries has now admitted a Bitcoin ETP. This achievement further demonstrates institutional - and more importantly regulatory - acceptance of this emerging digital asset class. The two products ABTC and AETH are passported into Austria and authorized for distribution for both retail and institutional investors using a familiar and widely accepted financial structure. “We are happy to share that Bitcoin is now accessible everywhere for both retail as well as institutional investors across the entire DACH region.” Hany Rashwan , CEO at 21Shares AG , says. “We started with the Swiss market due to our home roots and having a crypto-friendly landscape. In July 2020, we entered the German market by listing ABTC on Deutsche Boerse XETRA. This listing in Austria now gives all German-speaking countries easy exposure to this asset class. Outside the DACH region, no other jurisdiction globally provides such comprehensive and ample access to Bitcoin.” Story continues “With this important listing, the Vienna Stock Exchange is expanding its selection of asset classes. Experienced, local investors can now benefit from the stock market advantages in crypto trading: Monitored, regulated and transparent trading with real-time information and secure settlement via their regular brokers account," says Thomas Rainer , Head of Business Development at Wiener Börse . 21Shares AG is one of Europe’s most innovative startups, pioneering the mainstream adoption of digital assets via a sophisticated ETP structure familiar to many who have a demand to invest in assets classes such as precious metals or commodities. The growth of the crypto currency market is reflected in 21Shares’ growth in Assets under Management which has seen its assets surpass USD 100 million in less than two years.

The lesson I took from that country’s repeated financial meltdowns is that any fiat monetary system requires a bedrock of trust in the nation’s governing institutions. When people don’t trust their government, the system is always prone to collapse. It wasn’t until I discoveredbitcoin, four years after my 2009 departure from Buenos Aires, that I understood this clearly. I’d been well aware of Argentines’ lack of trust in government – the local commentariat endlessly talked of their leaders’ corruption. But only after learning of how bitcoin’s decentralized cryptographic protocol allowed users to transactwithouthaving to trust centralized intermediaries did I see the connection between that trust deficit and Argentina’s financial dysfunction. Related:The Fourth Era of Blockchain Governance You’re readingMoney Reimagined, a weekly look at the technological, economic and social events and trends that are redefining our relationship with money and transforming the global financial system. You can subscribe to this and all of CoinDesk’snewsletters here. Argentina is by no means alone in this problem. But as its governmentfinalizes yet another bond restructuringdeal with investors, this time to write down $65 billion in foreign debt, and with its perpetually volatile economy facingits worst contraction ever, it’s worth exploring this more deeply. Now, more than ever, Argentina’s failures offer a cautionary tale, especially for the U.S. And with speculation growing over changes to the global financial system, cryptocurrency and blockchain models could help us design systems more resilient to this kind of failure. Note, this isnota “bitcoin fixes this” essay. Believing that bitcoin alone will save all Argentines – or Turks, Venezuelans or Filipinos – is, as Coinshares Chief Strategy Officer Meltem Demirorsnoted this week, naive and offensive. This hard-to-use technology is no silver bullet for the root causes of economic destitution. Related: Nonetheless, bitcoin’s decentralized blockchain-based system for exchange and record-keeping is a valuable frame of reference for assessing existing monetary governance and for thinking about alternatives. To paraphrase Marc Hochstein, CoinDesk’s executive editor (and last week’s replacement author of this newsletter), “blockchain doesn’t have all the answers, but it asks the right questions.” To understand how Argentina’s financial system failed and the potential of a decentralized alternative, we must first review the history of money itself, the power structures it fosters, and the friction it creates. For the past 5,000 years, money has been closely associated with the idea of “the sovereign,” by which we essentially mean “the ruler.” Different communities have used different currencies – from wampum in the early American colonies to cigarettes in prisons – but it’s the ones issued by monarchs and state governments that dominate. That’s because of the sovereign’s unique power to mandate which currencies are legal tender and accepted in payment of taxes. In the 20th century, as the nation-state became entrenched as the core realm of political power, national governments cemented their quasi-monopolies as issuers of legal tender currencies. This was done in coordination with banks, to which they granted exclusive access to central bank reserves, treating them as agents for generating, distributing and circulating money. But while governments and their agent bankers could guarantee their currency’s dominance, they couldn’t control its value among users, who always found ways to sell an unwanted national currency for something of more lasting value: gold, or foreign currencies, or goods they’d stockpile before inflation eroded their purchasing power. They would seek fiat alternatives when governments exploited their unique currency-issuing powers to pursue their own self interests. Rigidly fixed currency regimes, such as the gold standard or Argentina’s 1990s dollar-pegged currency board, offer some protection against that risk. They’re intended as a policy straitjacket to prevent a government from abusing its citizens’ trust. Yet, the state’s power ultimately supersedes this straitjacket, as President Richard Nixon demonstrated by abandoning the dollar’s gold peg in 1971 and as Argentine President Eduardo Duhalde did by ending the Argentine peso’s dollar peg in 2001. Sovereign power is absolute. Let’s learn from Argentina’s tragedy to design a universal system that crowns the ‘sovereign self.’ At the end of the day, a currency’s viability hinges on the degree of trust people hold in their government. One could argue the United States’ relatively solid economic performance since 1971 and Argentina’s disastrous experiences over the same period reflect the comparative degree of institutional trust in each country’s system of government. (One could also argue the distinction between the two countries has narrowed dramatically in recent times.) In Argentina, the trust breakdown manifests as financial and economic volatility, much like anywhere else that’s prone to such boom-bust cycles. Such countries’ financial systems serve the interests of speculators, not their people. Short-sellers swarm in to sell stocks and bonds during a downturn, prompting governments to take drastic measures to stem the outflow of funds – such as the many times Argentina has limited bank withdrawals and transfers in failed bids to protect the peso, only to paralyze its payments system. Eventually, the country’s assets reach oversold levels – when a deal is done with bondholders, for example – which is when speculators return as “vulture funds” buying “distressed debt” to ride the inevitable rebound. It’s a dirty game, but they’re not the root of the problem. This system stems from an original sin: the government’s breach of its people’s trust. Unlike many hard-money bitcoiners, I don’t think the answer to these problems is to impose a hard limit on money supply. I’m not saying bitcoin isn’t valuable; on the contrary, its strict issuance regime gives it “digital gold” qualities that offer a powerful hedge against breaches of governmental trust. It’s just that deflationary currencies, as Argentina’s 1990s currency board showed, often serve solely the interests of savers. In times of economic contraction, economies need money that consumers and investors will put to work rather than HODL. (I see Crypto Twitter’s rage tweets coming at me already.) What solution, then, do bitcoin and other blockchain solutions offer to the “Argentine problem?” It lies, I think, in their radical new model of governance, one that turns the trust problem over to an open-source algorithm whose rules are defined by a permissionless network, a system whose rules Nixon could never have overridden. It’s not, per se, that bitcoin’s rules project a fixed 21-million coin supply 100 years from now, but that the rules themselves – whatever the community agrees to – cannot be changed by a centralized power. What we’re talking about is a different concept of “the sovereign.” This is about not having to trust Richard Nixon, Eduardo Duhalde, the Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell or Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan. It’s about empowering us to choose what currency or system we want for our wellbeing or to exchange value with others. Whether we choose bitcoin, the dollar, gold, a stablecoin, or some other blockchain model, what most matters is the very freedom to choose. We need a system of choice that leaves those in power beholden to the choices of the individuals they deign to rule. Amid so much discussion about the future of the financial system,with even Goldman Sachs questioning the future of the dollar’s hegemony, let’s learn from Argentina’s tragedy to design a universal system that crowns the “sovereign self.” By Galen Moore, CoinDesk Senior Research Analyst The world got a demonstration of bitcoin’s transparency recently, when a hacker took over the Twitter accounts of powerful individuals and companies, and used them to solicit bitcoin with a scam charity appeal. Crypto forensics experts and analysts, CoinDesk included, watched the hacker’s funds, analyzing their sources and where they were transferred. So-called privacy coins aim to shield crypto transactions from that kind of scrutiny. Three of them –dash,moneroandzcash– feature in theCoinDesk 20, a list of assets that show consistent market impact via consecutive quarters of verifiable trading volume. Bitcoin is the highest-volume asset in the CoinDesk 20 and the next-most heavily traded assets often exceed it in returns. This past week’s run-up is no exception. The privacy coins are standouts, in that their volumes are often in the bottom half of the ranking, but two out of the three are in the top five by returns, year-to-date. There’s little evidence the Twitter hack drove particular interest in privacy coins, but so far in 2020, the three coins with a privacy value proposition have punched above their weight. CoinDesk Research’sJuly Reviewhas more on privacy coin volatility and correlations. We’ll continue tracking these projects over the summer. GOLDEN MOMENT.The crypto world got excited this week by a resurgence in bitcoin and ether prices. As we went to print, BTC was testing $12,000 with a shot at its levels not seen since the great boom-bust of 2017-2018, andETH, following a massive run-up from a bottom around $80 in early May, was toying with $400 and trading at its loftiest level since this time two years ago. But for the “normies,” surely this week’s historic market story belonged to gold. The price of the precious metalreached its highest level ever this week, surpassing $2,000 per ounce. This is a big deal, people. I’m no gold bug.

Everyone can have their say, but only in their particular echochamber. While I\'ve written more about it [in an essay](https://nendly.com/a/faq), go to r/cc and you\'ll see the main crux. The things you can talk about here won\'t fly so well there. Now why is that?\n\nIt\'s because on Reddit, we have a downvote button. And since what you see is based on vote scores, it\'s essentially a censorship button. If you don\'t hold a 51% opinion, those in the majority will vote you down, and you\'ll leave to join another where the electorate is more favorable. And so we get a million insulated communities, each so sure that the others are wrong and needlessly hostile.\n\nBut it doesn\'t have to be this way! Nendly uses a state-of-the-art voting algorithm that enables discussions wherein many competing ideas are possible. Instead of the upvote and downvote buttons being directly tied to what users see, Nendly performs viewpoint analysis to find the best content among a range of diverse beliefs. And since it uses game-theory, there\'s no possibility for an r/cc style take-over. You can read more about it [here](https://nendly.com/a/faq), but basically I\'ve solved the r/cc problem, as seen in Nendly\'s much friendlier [n/crypto](https://nendly.com/n/crypto) community.\n\nNow there\'s a lot more to the site, including huge usability improvements and features Reddit doesn\'t have, but I\'ll have to leave it for a video I\'ll put out tomorrow. Ask me any questions and I\'ll address them then. (I need to sleep, it\'s been a wild day).\n\n# Nano\n\nOk but why is this a big deal for nano? The benefits are many.\n\n* Nano is exclusively integrated site-wide. Instead of Reddit "awards", we have nano-based gifts that mostly go to the end user. That\'s right, you can get paid to use social media. Forget Reddit\'s ETH integration, we\'ve beet \'em to it, guys!\n* When someone awards your post or comment with nano, you get a helpful message from the system user, who gives you information about nano, the foundation, wallets, etc. so you can adopt it yourself.\n* The user base will be primarily non-crypto people, since I\'ve intentionally built the site for a general-purpose audience. And since nano is the only crypto fully-integrated, we\'ll be actively getting people to join Nano. They won\'t just see it on a list with 50 other coins and bitcoin at the top. We are talking REAL ADOPTION.\n* With scale comes power. Imagine if we had complete control over the code for this subreddit. If someone had an idea requiring scale, we could actually fulfill it. We wouldn\'t have the "okay but where will you get your users" problem. If someone had an idea like ads that pay you nano to view them, we\'d be able to break down that barrier. Well here\'s the thing, we\'ve got Nendly, and with it we can solve the scale problem once and for all. Not just with [n/crypto](https://nendly.com/n/crypto), but with the entire site if we like. As Nendly grows, so too does our launchpad.\n\nThere\'s more too for nano I\'ll put in the video. Again, ask me questions and I\'ll answer them when I\'m not so tired :)\n\n# Current Progress\n\nThere\'s a lot of features that I\'ll be releasing over the coming days and weeks that are close to being done. For now, so I could meet the August deadline I set for myself, it\'s a Desktop-only experience with mobile coming very soon (we\'ve also got a public API that\'s mostly done, PM me if you want to build an App or something).\n\nSo hey, try my site out! You\'ll find updates coming out very fast since most of the cool stuff is \\~90% done. I plan on a major update happening once a week, so it\'ll be a quick-moving experience if you join our community.\n\nPlease bare with me since it\'s just now public.

His is the latest AlphaBay-related case to come to a close after authorities seized what was once the dark web’s biggest marketplace for guns, drugs and stolen identities and financial data back in 2017. According to the Department of Justice, Herrell settled over 20,000 disputes between vendors and purchasers for the marketplace. He also kept an eye out for scams and monitored users’ attempts to defraud each other. The DOJ says Herrell was paid in Bitcoin for his services and operated under the pseudonyms “Penissmith” and “Botah,” but the steps he took to preserve his anonymity weren’t enough to protect him. When the Royal Thai Police, the FBI and the DEA executed an arrest warrant for alleged AlphaBay founder Alexandre Cazes at his residence in Bangkok, they found an unencrypted laptop with files identifying people associated with the marketplace. Cazes’ case was dismissed after he died in his cell in Thailand of suspected suicide. Meanwhile, Herrell pleaded guilty to “conspiring to engage in a racketeer influenced corrupt organization” in January and faced up to 20 years in prison. US Attorney McGregor Scott of the Eastern District of California said in a statement: “This sentence serves as further proof that criminals cannot hide behind technology to break the law.

Bakkt’s back?Growing institutional interest ishelping to drive a recent spike in volumeon Bakkt, according to its president, Adam White. Trading volumes for physically settledbitcoinfutures on Bakkt rose to $134 million on Tuesday from a previous high of $132 million on July 28, Muyao Shen reports. Physically settled means buyers receive tokens at expiration instead of cash. “It’s not a bet on the price of bitcoin,” White said. “It doesn’t rely on an index price created from unregulated spot markets that are self-reporting their data.” Despite the recent surge, Bakkt still lags behind CME Group, a bigger, U.S.-regulated exchange. Data shows the aggregated daily volumes of bitcoin futures on Bakkt and the CME were at $279 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, on Monday. Related:First Mover: Huobi Takes on OKEx in Futures, Opening New Front in 'Chinese' Rivalry Mongolian mining moratorium?Over20 bitcoin mining farms in China’s Inner Mongolia have been stripped of electricity perksafter a clampdown by the local government. A document issued by the Department of Industrial and Information Technology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Aug. 24, shows the government agency suspended electricity discounts provided by the state-owned regional energy trading firm, following onsite inspections that found many supposed data centers were actually bitcoin mining facilities. With the policy change, electricity costs could reach 0.38 yuan per kWh ($0.054), up from 0.26–0.28 yuan per kWh ($0.037 to $0.040), CoinDesk’s Wolfie Zhou reports. Venezuela’s crypto economyA new Chainalysis report focused on Latin America foundVenezuela ranks third in the world for crypto adoption,behind Ukraine and Russia. Venezuela has adopted a crypto-friendly attitude amid crippling sanctions and hyperinflation, though most retail usage is happening through peer-to-peer marketplaces, not government-approved exchanges. State-owned Criptolago, one of only seven exchanges with government approval, saw $380,000 in dollar-adjusted volume over the last year compared to LocalBitcoins’ $242 million over the same period. Client centralizationA “critical bug” has left13% of Ethereum nodesuseless, and it could take weeks or months to fix. Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum versions 2.7 and later contain a bug that stops nodes from syncing with the $43 billion network’s latest block. Clients are different programming language implementations of blockchain software, a way to strengthen the network by having concurrent yet separate systems running. This bug has highlighted the issue of client centralization, as Ethereum Foundation-backed Geth client now supports some 80% of the Ethereum network, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Wild predictionsTyler and Cameron Winklevoss, early crypto investors and founders of Gemini,believe weakness in the U.S. financial system and other factors mean bitcoin could one day reach $500,000per coin. In a post on the Winklevoss Capital blog Thursday, the two set out outlined “fundamental problems” with gold, oil, and the U.S. dollar as stores of value. “Even before COVID-19, and despite the longest bull run in U.S. economic history, the government was spending money like a drunken sailor, cutting taxes like Crazy Eddie, and printing money like a banana republic,” the brothers write. They recently met with prominent day-trader Dave Portnoy and told him gold could be devalued if figures like Elon Musk begin gold mining asteroids. • WhistleblowerKidnapped in UkraineAfter Accusing Crypto Firm of Exit Scam (Anna Baydakova/CoinDesk) • YouTube’sWhac-a-Mole Approach to Crypto ScamAds Remains a Problem (Ben Powers/CoinDesk) • US Files Suit AgainstCrypto Accounts Tied to North Korea(Danny Nelson/CoinDesk) • Tesla’s Gigafactory hit by Failed HackWanting BitcoinRansom (Shaurya Malwa/Decrypt) • When ETF?

This could signal increased bullishness about future gains, CoinDesk’s Zack Voell said. Miners are holding more than 1.82 million bitcoins, an increase of roughly 2% in the last year, according to data from Glassnode. In fact, this is part of a larger trend, where the percentage of all inactive bitcoin (meaning it hasn’t been traded or cashed in) hit a four-year high last spring. Thomas Heller, former director at leading mining pool F2Pool, said this was a bullish indicator, as it appears holders may be anticipating a higher price. To be sure, no one is clairvoyant, but we’re talking about market sentiment. But there is another technical reason miners, in particular, may be holding: mining factories are in a cycle of deploying newer mining machines. This phase in the “hardware cycle” means operation expenses have decreased, and therefore, so has the number of bitcoin sold to cover those expenses, Harry Sudock, vice president of strategy at GRIID, said. Presumably, costs would have spiked months ago, when miners were ordering the machines now being deployed. As miners deploy new machines, they also enjoyed a 7% monthly revenue increase in July, according to network data analyzed by CoinDesk, thanks to recent price appreciation and increased transaction fees.

Bitcoin rebounded back above $11,450 on Friday, erasing nearly 70% of the decline from $11,594 to $11,141 yesterday. Gold, too, has risen back to $1,960, having dropped to $1,910 after the event. “Powell’s speech suggests that there is no end in sight [for the Fed’s easy money policy],” John Kramer, trader at GSR, said. Put simply, Powell’s speech looks to have strengthened bitcoin’s long-term bullish case, CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole reports. WabiSabi lobbyPrivacy-focusedBitcoin software wallet Wasabi is working on a new protocol design, dubbed WabiSabi, to improve the user experience and privacyof the wallet’s CoinJoin transactions, CoinDesk tech reporter Colin Harper reports. The major design change would allow users to coinjoin with different values than their peers, a first for the technology, reduce the role of a centralized coordinator and potentially enable CoinJoin sends to other users. This process would operate in the background if it runs the way Wasabi envisions it, opening up the possibility to make “every spend a CoinJoin.” Fee-lessUSD Coin (USDC) hasintegrated “meta transactions” to the stablecoin platform to eliminate feespaid to the Ethereum blockchain when sending money around. “This enables people to fund their non-custodial wallets withUSDCand start using DeFi/dapps without also having to ownETH,” Coinbase developer Peter Jihoon Kim said. Adopted as part of a protocol update, USDC 2.0, the Centre Consortium also announced a new on-chain signature system, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Founded by Coinbase and Circle, USDC is the second-largest stablecoin by market cap at $1.4 billion. Tech over lawsShiv Malik, co-founder of the Intergenerational Foundation think tank and head of growth at Streamr,thinks policies like Europe’s GDPR or Andrew Yang’s “data dividend” are inadequatefor putting users back in control of their data. “[T]here is a way of fighting tech with tech that might also result in changing the underlying economic structures,” he writes, namely through open-source, decentralized protocols. “We shouldn’t demand a tithe, we should take back control of our data.” The BreakdownThe Breakdown presents everything you need to know aboutJerome Powell’s Jackson Hole address. • Blockchain Bites: Winklevoss’ Wild Prediction, Bitcoin Miners’ Horde, Ethereum’s ‘Critical Bug’ • Blockchain Bites: Winklevoss’ Wild Prediction, Bitcoin Miners’ Horde, Ethereum’s ‘Critical Bug’... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/SpaceGenesis', "I'm trying to be positive but GL's actions are the opposite of intelligence.

I'll like to share my opinion about some of the points you touched.\n\n\\> Worsened graphics. Same device.\n\nOn Windows, the only difference I can tell is that the Nitro Bottles have their 'glow' reduced and the gameplay feels sightly smoother. Lag on Full Screen continues.\n\n\\> Frame skipping and lagging everywhere. Also game crashes. They said they optimized the game. I bet they forgot to mention that you need a quantum computer to play their casino racing masterpiece. \n\nTotally agree. My game crashes every once in a while when starting races, and apparently I'm the only one on Windows that faces this issue. CPU usage is very high, which is unnecessary, in fact I play on the lowest graphics on windowed mode to avoid lag. Other games I play like GTA, Honkai Impact, or Android emulators work fine at medium-high graphics but this one...\n\n\\> The infamous lagging screen after every freaking race (what the hell are they doing in background that the phones become so hot? bitcoin mining?). They still didn't fix it after the recent hotfix! Who pays these clowns who can't even revert some dumb changes? \n\nLoading screens got tampered with. It used to take 2-4 seconds to me load the game, now it takes around 5-10. Not a big deal on Windows but for Android/IOS players it isn't good.\n\n\\> The unfair SE. There are hardly tokens offered. They keep reducing the rewards until there will be nothing left except uncommon parts and a few credits. They expect us to play hundreds of races for peanuts. The finest greediness. Also how come SE still shares the same tickets pool with daily events? They are different things! \n\nI'd like to write deeper thoughs about this one.\n\nRemember the old SEs where we could unlock the main car and star it up if you had most of the requested cars? Events like EVO, Terzo, Aperta and about this last one, I unlocked the Aperta with only a 3\\* BMW, 2\\* J50, 5\\* Corvette, 2\\* EVO, 2\\* Aventador J and a 2\\* 570S. Compared to this one I'm only missing the Jaguar, the Continental and my Vantage is at 1\\, everything else is maxed and I'm only going to get around 28-30 BPS* I'm not even going to unlock the car without spending Tokens. \n\nNow this is the main problem that not many people have noticed; Special Event Club Rewards were removed.\n\nA great boost for having a good club that has many of the requested cars. Isn't this one of Gameloft's goals for the game? Having a Club System that benefits its members? I don't even understand their objectives...\n\nForeseeing the McLaren Speedtail event I can almost guarantee you that all Lotus cars are going to be needed; the trashy Elise, the even trashier Evora and the P2W Evija, all of them in a useless pack for 650-750 Tokens. \n\nAll of the Mclaren cars on one pack that might cost 750-950 Tokens; P1, 570S and Senna. The only ok thing about the event.\n\nThe Bacalar and maybe the Valhalla. \n\nTo get what?, another Zenvo - Fenyr clone.\n\n\\> Same old stinky GP. Everyone knows what is wrong with this thing that has nothing in common with real grand prixes except the name. Most regular players don't win keys. Why should we even bother anymore? \n\nI consider myself an above average player and I didn't even win the SC18 with 3 stars... Whales and alien Sandbaggers are dominant in this event. And notice this last one, ALIEN SANDBAGGERS! These kind of players have NOTHING to do in Tier 3-5. \n\nGrand Prix will never change for good. We gotta deal with it from now on...\n\n\\> Credits heist is good in theory. In practice they added the awful police besides the aggressive AI to make sure you can't get those credits. They also added stars requirements for good measure. Also they made it that way you need to play too many races if you want all rewards. Efficiency is again not in their dictionary. \n\nIts not actually good tho.

Today's Key News: ['Dubai, UAE, Sept. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Blockchain ecosystem is one of the most rapidly evolving and expanding branches of the global economy. The crypto market requires continuous innovativeness to promote progress and allow the ever-changing demands of users. ZelaaPayAE, a leading cryptocurrency platform from the United Arab Emirates, understands this perfectly. From the beginning of its launch, ZelaaPayAE invested in the development of revolutionary blockchain infrastructure solutions designed to enhance people’s ability to effortlessly use cryptocurrencies in everyday life, such as Point-of-Sale terminals and crypto debit cards. Now, ZelaaPayAE makes yet another great leap forward: in order to keep providing its users with a bespoke level of quality and effectiveness, ZelaaPayAE partnered with Tron to become a Dual Chain platform that unleashes full power of both the Ethereum and Tron networks.\nTron uses a different consensus mechanism to Ethereum when it comes to adding and verifying transactions on its network. Instead of using Proof-of-Work like Ethereum or Bitcoin where miners produce blocks for the network, TRON uses something called Delegated Proof-of-Stake where 27 elected Super Representatives produce blocks for the network. This consensus mechanism allows TRON to achieve much faster rates of transactions than Ethereum. For a platform with razor sharp focus, like ZelaaPayAE, delivering the highest quality of services allows no room for tribalism and personal preferences. After strong evaluations, the company has decided to deploy optimal solutions to assure the highest level of quality and is confident in the power of Dual Chain. The partnership with Tron is a beneficial step forward, because it enables ZelaaPayAE to deliver maximum effectiveness in the consumer payments domain, while building a strong base for DeFi services through the Ethereum chain.\nZelaaPayAE believes that both Tron and Ethereum are mutually exclusive and excel in answering specific demands.

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: ['Launched on 31st August 2020, FACT (“Fee Active Collateral Token”), a lending protocol, has entered the DeFi scene with a bang. Its unique product allows cryptocurrency investors to deposit various stablecoins as collateral, all with zero interest rate. FACT’s investment model is designed to give investors a new passive income model, as opposed to traditional staking used in other DeFi protocols. Also Read \| The Major Upside of Bitcoin – What Does It Mean? It’s noteworthy that DeFi lending and staking are now gaining popularity in the cryptocurrency, as they allow you to make money even while you sleep. To that end, FACT introduced its unique lending model to help investors earn passive returns on both their deposits and investments. By staking FACT, you’re automatically considered a Liquidity Provider, using your collateral to hedge against volatility in the crypto markets. To get you started, here\'s how you can easily earn passive income with FACT. Also Read \| Marsan Bitcoin Exchange - Everything You Need to Know First, deposit Dai (or any other supported token) at 0% interest as collateral to get FACT for liquidity mining. To help sustain the platform, borrowers pay a one-time 2% processing fee to liquidity providers (i.e., stakers). Then, you can stake FACT to earn passive returns. By staking FACT, you\'ll be recognized as a Liquidity Provider and you will receive a share of the 2% fixed borrowing fee. In addition to liquidity providing , you\'ll receive a part of the tokens (7 million FACT) allocated for staking rewards. Keep in mind that your earnings are determined by two factors: how much FACT you stake and how long your crypto-assets are locked in the system, As a liquidity provider you’ll get the 2% distributed as long as you are staking FACT. FACT is the native token, so you don\'t need to hold token ETH/FACT pairs — say 50% ETH and 50% FACT — to become a liquidity provider. Also, as a staker, you\'ll not be affected by price fluctuations and impermeant losses since you\'re only contributing to the liquidity pool by only FACT. Story continues FACT was recently listed on popular decentralized exchange Uniswap, in what was a high-profile launch. This massive partnership has helped early-stage FACT investors successfully earn a whopping 1400% return on their investments. In what was a strategic move aimed at getting better exposure and more traction, FACT scored another exchange partnership with Hotbit four days later. For the unfamiliar, Hotbit is an exchange that allows you to trade virtually every major cryptocurrency, more than every other exchange in the crypto space. 20,000 FACT tokens will be burned every month and most of the remaining tokens will be locked up in FACT\'s smart contract to provide liquidity to the mining pool. The smart contract is already in development, and HODLers will be able to stake their tokens starting from 20th September, 2020. September will be a significant month for the project, with operations kicking into full swing this month. Several \'updates\' have been rolled out already, such as the Uniswap token listing, presale Liquidity lock and Hotbit listing. Moreover, plans are already in place for major announcements like the Probit and Kucoin listings (in the coming weeks), beta release, and staking dApp launch which are highly anticipated in the community. FACT Project Roadmap; major announcements expected in September FACT has a circulating supply of 400,000 while as of September 3 (i.e., after the first FACT coin burn), the total supply is 15,382,000. Out of the total supply of FACT, 5.5 million FACT available to the liquidity pool. To reduce the supply of FACT tokens, FACT DAO will burn 20,000 FACT every month, thereby preventing inflation. Since FACT is a deflationary currency, its value will only increase over time while the supply reduces. As such, stakers will keep earning better rewards for liquidity mining. Considering the overall complexity of the project and the ambitious vision of the team, FACT has already made a lasting impression in less than a week (precisely three days) after its launch. It\'s important to note FACT is much more than a cryptocurrency; it\'s an ecosystem supporting crypto stakeholders who believe in the future of money: decentralized finance. With a fast-growing community of passionate investors and several groundbreaking features to be added in the future (launching its DEX, for instance), FACT is no doubt one innovative project to watch out for in the DeFi space. Through zero-interest lending, lucrative staking rewards and yield farming, the future looks bright, for a FACT ! For more information on FACT and how it\'s not "just another lending protocol", you can read the whitepaper: https://fact.finance/FACT_WHITEPAPER_V11.pdf Contract address: 0x23aEfF664c1B2bbA98422a0399586e96cc8a1C92 Follow FACT on Twitter: https://twitter.com/factdefi Telegram official community: https://t.me/factfinance Telegram official Korean community: https://t.me/factfinancekor FACT website: https://fact.finance Media inquiries: [email protected]', 'Launched on 31st August 2020, FACT (“Fee Active Collateral Token”), a lending protocol, has entered the DeFi scene with a bang. Its unique product allows cryptocurrency investors to deposit various stablecoins as collateral, all with zero interest rate. FACT’s investment model is designed to give investors a new passive income model, as opposed to traditional staking used in other DeFi protocols.\nAlso Read \|The Major Upside of Bitcoin – What Does It Mean?\nIt’s noteworthy that DeFi lending and staking are now gaining popularity in the cryptocurrency, as they allow you to make money even while you sleep. To that end, FACT introduced its unique lending model to help investors earn passive returns on both their deposits and investments.\nBy staking FACT, you’re automatically considered a Liquidity Provider, using your collateral to hedge against volatility in the crypto markets. To get you started, here\'s how you can easily earn passive income with FACT.\nAlso Read \|Marsan Bitcoin Exchange - Everything You Need to Know\nFirst, deposit Dai (or any other supported token) at 0% interest as collateral to get FACT for liquidity mining. To help sustain the platform, borrowers pay a one-time 2% processing fee to liquidity providers (i.e., stakers).\nThen, you can stake FACT to earn passive returns. By staking FACT, you\'ll be recognized as a Liquidity Provider and you will receive a share of the 2% fixed borrowing fee. In addition to liquidity providing , you\'ll receive a part of the tokens (7 million FACT) allocated for staking rewards. Keep in mind that your earnings are determined by two factors: how much FACT you stake and how long your crypto-assets are locked in the system, As a liquidity provider you’ll get the 2% distributed as long as you are staking FACT.\nFACT is the native token, so you don\'t need to hold token ETH/FACT pairs — say 50% ETH and 50% FACT — to become a liquidity provider. Also, as a staker, you\'ll not be affected by price fluctuations and impermeant losses since you\'re only contributing to the liquidity pool by only FACT.\nFACT was recently listed on popular decentralized exchange Uniswap, in what was a high-profile launch.

One of the main possible reasons for the shift is the recent decentralized finance (DeFi) boom.The Block’s Larry Cermaklooked atthe ETH/BTC spot volume ratio from exchanges with legitimate volume and found that the ratio has grown from about 16% in September 2019 to about 50% now. Source: CryptoCompare, The Block ResearchAs for futures trading volumes, the ETH/BTC ratio has grown from about 8% in September 2019 to about 29% now. Overall, rising ETH trading volumes show that there could be further room for ETH price to grow, according to Cermak. While there is increasing interest in ETH, its market capitalization is still about five times smaller than bitcoin’s, and ETH spot volumes are twice lower, and futures volumes are three times smaller than bitcoin volumes.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 3.13% on Friday. Partially reversing a 10.80% tumble from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,484.7. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $10,095 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,620, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,644.0. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $11,090, Bitcoin eased back to sub-$10,500 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Friday. Tron’s TRX bucked the trend once more, sliding by 11.42% to partially reverse Thursday’s 15.94% breakout. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. EOS led the way, rallying by 14.50%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+6.93%), Cardano’s ADA (+7.45%), Monero’s XMR (+5.53%), and Tezos (+7.20%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+3.04%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.58%), Ethereum (+1.50%), Litecoin (+1.22% Ripple’s XRP (+3.82%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.83%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Tuesday high $379.05bn before sliding to a Thursday low $303.72bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $322.50bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 58.79% before rising to a Thursday high 60.77%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.75%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.40% to $10,443.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,593.0 before falling to a low $10,442.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.17%), Ethereum (-0.35%), and Litecoin (-1.34%) joined Bitcoin in the red. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, EOS was up by 1.55% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,365 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,764. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $10,644.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $11,043. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,365 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,086 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$10,000 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $9,687.

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $11,043. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,365 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,086 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$10,000 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $9,687.

We all have our own reasons, methods, values of how we invest our money. One thing in common is we all have one main goal. That is to get as much money as possible out of this with the time, and money we can spare. \n\n##That\'s the dam truth##. \n\nWe are all here together, and since we are all here on our own will , I want to tell you why you should be proud to hold all your crypto. \n\n\nI\'m 40 years old. At 18 after I graduated HS I had about $7800. $1400 from my graduation party, and $6400 selling my MTG collection on EBay. I also managed a small arcade for about $350 a week. \n\nBack to my MTG collection...\n\nI sold it because it changed. The designs on the new series looked too modern. The original designs were a work of art. \n\nAnyway, I seriously wanted to hold those magic cards but I kept telling myself...\n\n"I can get them back if I want. The price isn\'t going to move anytime soon. The market is in slight decline. Some of these have been the same price for 2 years now." \n\nI was right, the price of my two Lotus\'s stayed the same for 5 more years. Not budging . 12 years later after that , those same two cards value at over $60,000ea I believe. If I held untill a few years ago or now, I would\'ve been able to do a quick sale at $400,000. Yes at a discount.\n\nThe same goes for all the first edition garbage pail kids I had. \n\n##So, what did I do with all $7800##?\n\nI told myself I want to invest it into Microsoft. But I talked myself out of it by saying \n\n"Some people told me the market was a risk, and I had to prepare myself to lose it all"\n\nSo I didn\'t do it. I was close, but I didn\'t. I could\'ve had OVER A MILLION! \n\nI instead used that money for a school. Business computer programming.\nIt was a waste because 90% of what they taught me came natural. I was doing basic programming at 13 for fun. \n\nI regret not going with my initial FOMO on Microsoft , I regret listening to my own FUD with the MTG cards. \n\n\n7 years later, I repeated the same mistake...\n\nI had about $15,000 in the bank. I wanted to invest $10,000 in apple after I read about the release of the iphone. Instead opted to do 5k over FUD I read. It was FUD about the risk since they never made phones, and alot of people were ridiculing their idea. \n\nThen I said to myself...\n\n"Fuck that, I don\'t want to do this. I could do so much more with this 5k" \n\nI instead used the 15k turbocharge my transam, add a racing transmission, tires, rims, new stero system, and I took a 2 week vacation ...GONE!\n\nI got what I wanted. Got laid a bunch of times, went to car shows. That could of been $500k by now. \n\nTo top this off, I missed out on a quick $78,000 win at the racetrack because if my own FUD. Horses.\n\nI lost $200, and was left with only I $5 that night. I decided, "you know what, fuck it, I\'m going to do a completely off the wall wild bet. \n\n I did a completely wild bet for $5. I picked all longshots in what they call a "Superfecta"(4 horses in that exact order 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place prediction. \n\n1 minute before the race started, I Cancelled the bet. I told myself ...\n\n"this is stupid, 99:1, 78:1, 56:1, 38:1 long shots coming out in this order? THATS INSANE...Why am I blowing 5 away? Fuck that, I instead put $5 on the 10:1 to win hopefully my to maybe get $50 back " \n\nWell. Guess what? The 3nd largest superfecta payout in history. No body won it! It came out i...

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slid by 2.74% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 3.13% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,196.9. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $10,593.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,764, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,925.5. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,086 before finding late support. Late in the day, Bitcoin moved back through the first major support level to wrap up the day at $10,190 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday. Tron’s TRX and Ethereum tumbled by 15.96% and by 13.69% respectively to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-7.32%), Cardano’s ADA (-11.59%), Ripple’s XRP (-6.62%), Stellar’s Lumen (-7.32%), and Tezos (-9.61%) also saw particularly heavy losses. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-5.07%), EOS (-2.02%), Litecoin (-5.77%), and Monero’s XMR (-5.98%) saw relatively modest losses. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend on the day, rising by 0.25%. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Tuesday high $379.05bn before sliding to a Saturday low $279.73bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $306.87bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 58.79% before rising to a Saturday high 61.97%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.36%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.23% to $10,220.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,147.0 before rising to a high $10,225.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bianance Coin (-0.79%) and Tezos (-0.56%) saw red early on. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 2.24% to lead the way early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $10,239 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,551. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $10,593.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,906 would likely come into play. Failure to move through the $10,239 pivot would bring the first major support level at $9,884 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,571.

Change In Landscape From The 90s: The owner of Dallas Mavericks said he makes his investment decisions independent of financial advisors, and sticks to companies he personally believes in. Cuban is a known supporter of technological innovations and holds investments in giants like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX ). "I used to trade a lot, I used to be very, very active as a trader," Cuban told David Rubenstein. In the 90s and early 2000s, there was a lot less money chasing more stocks, but “now there is a lot more money chasing fewer stocks,” according to Cuban. "It's harder to trade and be successful, so I just stick to companies I believe in," the "Shark Tank" host said in the Bloomberg interview. COVID-19 Brings New Opportunity: Cuban also talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic could create opportunities for entrepreneurs and the NBA bubble. The "Shark Tank" host remarked that the lockdown situation is forcing people to adapt to a digital lifestyle. He claimed that these troubled times is the perfect and opportune moment for creative and innovative entrepreneurs with a vision for the future. Back in April, Cuban claimed that despite having a hopeful long term opinion, he held a bleak view of the US market rally in the short run.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.71% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.74% slide from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 12.39% to $10,276. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,031.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,884, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $10,365.1. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,551, Bitcoin eased back to wrap up the day at sub-$10,300. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday. Bitcoin Cash ABC and EOS ended the day down by 0.79% and by 1.16% respectively to buck the trend. It was a bullish end to the week for the rest of the majors, however. Binance Coin surged by 18.99% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+3.10%), Ethereum (+5.23%), Monero’s XMR (+2.81%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.59%), Tezos (+2.75%), and Tron’s TRX (+5.39%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.01%), Litecoin (+0.15%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.15%) trailed the front runners. For the week ending 6 th September, it was also a mixed bag for the majors. Tron’s TRX rallied by 16.44% to buck the trend. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Tezos (-24.62%), Litecoin (-23.85%), Stellar’s Lumen (-21.20%), and Cardano’s ADA (-20.98%) led the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-19.22%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-17.39%), Ethereum (-17.75%), Monero’s XMR (-16.73%), and Ripple’s XRP (-15.34%) also saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-1.90%) and EOS (-10.64%) saw relatively modest losses in the week. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Tuesday high $379.05bn before sliding to a Saturday low $293.54bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $314.76bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 58.79% before rising to a Saturday high 62.01%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.41%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.53% to $10,330. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,267.0 before striking a high $10,330.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was up by 2.17% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,224 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,417. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $10,365.1. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,558 would likely come into play. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,224 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,083 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,890.

But analysts suggest that’s an overreaction. • Bitcoin’s price rose to $11,319 on Monday, the highest level since August 2019, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. • At time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading near $11,100, representing a 18% gain from lows near $9,400 observed a week ago. • The sudden rally has pushed the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) above 80.00. • A measurement of over 70.00 is considered overbought, meaning the bullish move is now overstretched. • Asim Ahmad, co-chief investment officer at London-based Eterna Capital, said that an above-70 RSI does not necessarily imply an impending major price slide. • More likely it indicates that the bullish move is overstretched and vulnerable to consolidation or a minor retracement at worst, Ahmad said. • Lennard Neo, head of research at Stack funds, explained the RSI can stay inflated for longer periods in a strongly trending market, adding that other indicators are showing strong buying momentum. • The RSI is based on price and remained elevated during the previous bulls runs. • Bitcoin remained bid and rose 160% in the second quarter of 2019 (above left) despite the RSI printing highs above 70.00 several times during the three-month period. • A similar pattern was observed during the bull market frenzy of 2017 (above right). • Back to summer 2020 and the overbought measurement on the RSI may keep the cryptocurrency hovering around $11,000 for some time. Support is seen around $10,500. • Rotation of money out of the DeFi space and traditional markets and into bitcoin would create momentum for the cryptocurrency, said Neo. • Prices could rise quickly toward $12,000 in the short-term if the U.S. Federal Reserve signals higher tolerance for inflation. That could yield another sell-off for the greenback and send gold above the $2,000 mark. • Bitcoin still remains vulnerable to a sell-off in equities, as was seen during the wider markets crash in March, according to Joel Kruger, a currency strategist at LMAX Digital.

Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM, AT&T Inc. T, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, PayPal Holdings, Inc. PYPL and Intel Corp. INTC. Here are highlights from Tuesday’s Analyst Blog: Bitcoin Crosses $10K, with $15K in Sight: 3 Winners Bitcoin prices moved north on Jul 27, pushing the digital currency to its highest level in almost a year. The largest and most influential cryptocurrency jumped as much as 15% to $10,944, the highest since last August. In fact, the largest digital token settled at around $10,237, the highest level since Jun 1, based on spot prices. Thus, all eyes are now on the critical $10,500 mark, a level that it had failed to hold on to in June and February. But experts believe that bitcoin could head to $15,000 next. Notably, bitcoin last went past $10,000 on Jun 3 and has since seen a persistent decline. But over the past seven days, the digital currency has climbed almost 11%. What’s more, crypto funds too gained as bitcoin broke out from a recent trading range to end at its highest level in two months. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust climbed more than 10% yesterday, while the Grayscale Ethereum Trust jumped nearly 30%. So what’s behind bitcoin's run past the key $10,000 resistance level? The move for the digital currency comes as gold prices scaled northward amid a rush for assets that are considered safe haven and are alternatives to stocks mostly perceived as risky assets. And why so? This is because the coronavirus pandemic has dented profit margins of companies and driven much of the developed world into a deep recession. The virus infected thousands worldwide, disrupted supply chains and restrained movements between countries. Story continues Some experts believe that growth in the so-called stable bitcoin is also due to intensifying tensions between the United States and China that could easily rattle the equity market, the same reason why gold prices have been recently scaling upward as well. The U.S. dollar, in the meantime, weakened due to fresh spikes in COVID-19 cases, which again helped both gold and “digital gold” to rise. Lest we forget, crypto fans have often touted bitcoin as “digital gold.” Needless to say, when the value of dollar decreases relative to other currencies throughout the globe, the price of gold tends to rise in dollar terms. After all, gold becomes less expensive in other currencies. To top it, several Wall Street bigwigs are showing keen interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. And this bullish approach toward bitcoin is surely driving digital assets. For instance, JPMorgan Chase & Co. has introduced JPM Coin, which will be helpful in handling digital settlements. And how can we forget that telecommunication, media and technology service provider AT&T Inc. has also begun accepting crypto payments via a partnership with BitPay. 3 Stocks to Gain From Bitcoin’s Epic Run If you are looking to tap the rising bitcoin trend, you may take a look at the following Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) companies that are making use of bitcoin and technologies that support it, including blockchain. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Microsoft Corp. , incidentally, is facing stiff competition from Amazon in the cloud computing space. As a result, the tech behemoth has launched a fully-managed blockchain service, integrated with Azure Active Directory. Microsoft's fiscal fourth-quarter results benefited from momentum in Azure and impressive Teams user growth led by coronavirus-induced work-from-home wave. Microsoft’s Intelligent Cloud division raked in $13.4-billion sales compared to analysts’ estimate of $13.11 billion. Sales also grew 17% year over year (read more: 4 Cloud Stocks to Win Big on Microsoft's Stellar Earnings Show). The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current and next year is 10.4% and 13.1%, respectively. PayPal Holdings, Inc , a leader in digital payment processes, sealed a deal with three major bitcoin payment processors, BitPay, GoCoin and Coinbase, to help PayPal merchants accept bitcoin as a mode of payment. PayPal’s two-sided platform, safety and simplicity of transactions, opportunities in the fast-growing mobile space and strategic partnerships are major positives. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current quarter and year is 41% and 7.4%, respectively. Additionally, the company’s expected earnings growth rate for the next year is 23.4%. Intel Corp. is a traditional technology company but has exposure to blockchain technology. Intel’s new Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology, which offers hardware-based memory encryption that isolates specific application code and data in memory, can help in blockchain transactions as well as AI applications. Intel, no doubt, derives revenues from other sources as well. By the way, Intel’s leading position in the PC market, strength in servers, growing clout in software, IoT & ADAS domains and headway in process technology are indicators of booming prospects. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the next five-year period is 7.5%. These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.

Or even the entirety?\n\nDespite the massive valuations and parabolic price jumps the sector has undergone? \n\nLook guys, I know that stonks only go up, but sometimes in order to keep going up in the long term, they need to go down in the short term. Sometimes they need to go down a lot. Sometimes, if you\'re not properly diversified, it could take years, even decades, to recoup losses, even if you dollar cost average. \n\nMeanwhile, other stonks that you neglected because you went all in on one sector of one market of one country\'s economy will go up, and you\'ll miss making all those gains because you\'re still betting almost 100% on tech. \n\nBasically, what I\'m trying to say is you\'re exposing yourself to a disproportionate amount of risk, more potential risk than potential reward, whenever you make QQQ half of your portfolio. Remember that even 60% VTI/40% VXUS is moderately risky, because you\'re still only exposed to one asset class. Just for context. \n\nLastly, I just wanna loop back to the beginning and encourage you guys to look at that quote, then consider what happens whenever an asset becomes very popular, maybe even trendy. Weed stocks were big, and kept going up. Bitcoin was big, and kept going up. Real estate was big, and kept going up. Dotcom companies were big, and kept going up.

Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $10,464.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,579, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,882.4. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,065 recovering to wrap up the day at $10,100 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day for the majors on Tuesday. Binance Coin (+3.56%), Monero’s XMR (+1.64%), and Tron’s TRX (+8.15%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however.

Change In Landscape From The 90s:The owner of Dallas Mavericks said he makes his investment decisions independent of financial advisors, andsticks to companieshe personally believes in. Cuban is a known supporter of technological innovations and holds investments in giants likeAmazon.com Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN) andNetflix Inc.(NASDAQ:NFLX). "I used to trade a lot, I used to be very, very active as a trader," Cuban told David Rubenstein. In the 90s and early 2000s, there was a lot less money chasing more stocks, but “now there is a lot more money chasing fewer stocks,” according to Cuban. "It's harder to trade and be successful, so I just stick to companies I believe in," the "Shark Tank" host said in the Bloomberg interview. COVID-19 Brings New Opportunity:Cuban also talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic could create opportunities for entrepreneurs and the NBA bubble. The "Shark Tank" host remarked that the lockdown situation is forcing people to adapt to a digital lifestyle. He claimed that these troubled times is the perfect and opportune moment for creative and innovative entrepreneurs with a vision for the future. Back in April, Cuban claimed that despite having a hopeful long term opinion, he held a bleak view of the US market rally in the short run.

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: ["“A pandemic-led acceleration of adoption.”\nThat’s how Singapore-based DBS Bank describes the current state of digital assets in itsquarterly report on cryptocurrenciespublished in August.\nIt’s interesting to hear such an observation from a respected multinational bank and its chief economist, Taimur Baig. However, there have lately been murmurings about certain large financial institutions – particularly in places like Singapore, Switzerland and Germany – fielding a new wave of demand for crypto, filtering through from smaller private banks and wealthy clients.\nRelated:Binance’s New Platform Will Connect CeFi and DeFi With $100M Fund\nOn the subject of cryptocurrencies likebitcoin (BTC), Baig identified two distinct phases of demand: pre-pandemic and post-pandemic.\n“Pre-pandemic demand was largely speculative. People saw bitcoin had a spectacular run and wanted to be part of that game, so what’s wrong with putting in 1% of assets under management [into BTC],” Baig said in an interview. “But I think post-pandemic is beyond speculative. It’s more about, ‘This thing has fixed circulation, it will not be debased.’ People are worried about dollar outflow and wondering if they should hold crypto in addition to gold as a safe-haven currency.”\nRead more:Bitcoin’s Correlation With Gold Hits Record High\nDBS isn’t the only bank to notice this trend. Singapore-based digital asset bank Sygnum, which holds a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, echoed this view.\nRelated:First Mover: DeFi 'Vampire' SushiSwap Sucks $800M from Uniswap; BitMEX Basis Lags\n“Since the outbreak of COVID-19 there has been increased interest from family offices and private individuals who see digital assets as an alternative and a way to protect against a worrying inflation risk,” said Martin Burgherr, co-head of clients at Sygnum Bank. “Now that banks are awakening from the lockdown, we have had a significant uptick in national and international banks asking us to help in a B2B setup, to enable their clients to invest in digital assets.”\nBaig – who has previously held senior economist roles at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Deutsche Bank and the International Monetary Fund – likes to zoom out and take a macro view of digital currencies and the potential play of central bank digital currencies (CBDC).\nThere has been a steady rise in gold, while fixed-income yields are heading towards zero, Baig said, and such conditions have also caused “bitcoin to come back quite convincingly.”\nRead more:PTJ on BTC: Bitcoin Is Now the Macro Big Bet\nIt’s tempting to look at bitcoin through the lens of foreign exchange (FX), as yet another currency with an exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. But this is mistaken, Baig said, since a regular sovereign currency has accepted economic means of evaluation that determine productivity and long-term growth.\n“You can’t value cryptocurrencies like that,” Baig said. “While they can have this credibility with a system-based circulation, they’re still not attached to a country’s fortune. So, of course, they will not go and up and down the way the U.S. economy goes up and down. From that perspective, it’s more akin to gold than an FX in my view.”\nFor countries experiencing a currency crisis or episode of hyperinflation, pegging to the U.S. dollar may bring some short-term credibility, but it doesn’t work out well for a lot of currencies, Baig noted, adding:\n“If you look at Venezuela or even Lebanon, which is in the middle of a massive financial crisis, could you, at some point going forward, conceive that instead of linking your currency to the U.S. dollar, you link it to a cryptocurrency?”\nProvided that transactions can be viewed on the blockchain there are possibilities, said Baig. “As long as it’s tied to a limited-circulation currency, I see some similarities between that sort of anchoring versus anchoring against the US. dollar,” he said.\nThe topic of CBDCs is also highly politicized, particularly between the U.S. and China.\nThere are two dimensions to think about when it comes to China and its CBDC efforts at “digitizing the redback,” said Baig. Firstly, a digital renminbi (e-RMB) is a way that China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), can exercise some control over the country’s sprawling fintech ecosystem.\n“There’s so much going on at the Alipay, Tencent level,” Baig said. “Deposits are being made by those fintechs, they are extending credit, so it doesn’t really matter what PBoC does with respect to interest rates. It’s like a whole parallel universe.”\nRead more:China’s Digital Currency May Come With Hardware Wallets as Well\nThe other dimension concerns the potential for an e-RMB to become a way for certain countries to bypass the U.S. dollar settlement mechanism, which makes them “somehow answerable to the Southern District [Court] in New York” or the Securities and Exchange Commission,” said Baig.\n“The U.S. dollar has been used repeatedly as a weapon against Iran against other countries and also against China,” he said. “I think now with U.S.-China tensions so high the case for e-RMB becomes even more compelling.”\nRead the full report:\n• Pandemic Will Speed Bitcoin Adoption, Says DBS Bank Economist\n• Pandemic Will Speed Bitcoin Adoption, Says DBS Bank Economist", "“A pandemic-led acceleration of adoption.” That’s how Singapore-based DBS Bank describes the current state of digital assets in its quarterly report on cryptocurrencies published in August.

Singapore-based digital asset bank Sygnum, which holds a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, echoed this view.

There has been a steady rise in gold, while fixed-income yields are heading towards zero, Baig said, and such conditions have also caused “bitcoin to come back quite convincingly.” Story continues Read more: PTJ on BTC: Bitcoin Is Now the Macro Big Bet It’s tempting to look at bitcoin through the lens of foreign exchange (FX), as yet another currency with an exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. But this is mistaken, Baig said, since a regular sovereign currency has accepted economic means of evaluation that determine productivity and long-term growth. “You can’t value cryptocurrencies like that,” Baig said. “While they can have this credibility with a system-based circulation, they’re still not attached to a country’s fortune. So, of course, they will not go and up and down the way the U.S. economy goes up and down. From that perspective, it’s more akin to gold than an FX in my view.” Dollar pegging For countries experiencing a currency crisis or episode of hyperinflation, pegging to the U.S. dollar may bring some short-term credibility, but it doesn’t work out well for a lot of currencies, Baig noted, adding: “If you look at Venezuela or even Lebanon, which is in the middle of a massive financial crisis, could you, at some point going forward, conceive that instead of linking your currency to the U.S. dollar, you link it to a cryptocurrency?” Provided that transactions can be viewed on the blockchain there are possibilities, said Baig. “As long as it’s tied to a limited-circulation currency, I see some similarities between that sort of anchoring versus anchoring against the US. dollar,” he said. Digitizing the redback The topic of CBDCs is also highly politicized, particularly between the U.S. and China. There are two dimensions to think about when it comes to China and its CBDC efforts at “digitizing the redback,” said Baig. Firstly, a digital renminbi (e-RMB) is a way that China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), can exercise some control over the country’s sprawling fintech ecosystem. “There’s so much going on at the Alipay, Tencent level,” Baig said. “Deposits are being made by those fintechs, they are extending credit, so it doesn’t really matter what PBoC does with respect to interest rates. It’s like a whole parallel universe.” Read more Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The interview, which is slightly edited, covers Maki’s opinions on Chef’s sale of the development funds and Sam’s management authority, as well as SushiSwap’s development plan after Chef’s departure.\nCoinDesk China: Let’s start with a self-introduction. Who are you, and what do you do in SushiSwap?\nMaki: I’m a full-stack engineer, but in SushiSwap I’m responsible for growth and operations. For the time being, I don’t want to disclose too much about my real identity. If it becomes necessary later, I will disclose it, now it is too early.\nCoinDesk China: In your opinion, why did SushiSwap explode online?\nMaki: On the first day we went online, we had the Quantstamp audit report, which contained no major defects. The security audit report is very helpful to the growth of our TVL.\nCoinDesk China: What are your short-term goals?\nMaki: Our short-term goal is to successfully complete the migration, this is very important.[Note: The migration wascompletedon Wednesday].\nLater we will discuss governance with the community, in order to make the project develop smoothly and not fail.\nWe will also optimize the user interface (UI) of SushiSwap, such as launching a Chinese UI, introducing more traders, and adding features that UniSwap does not have.\nMore important, we will start integrating with other DeFi protocols. For example, the integration with renBTC’s native system, which would allow users to directly convertBTCto renBTC on SushiSwap. Another example is that if we integrate with 1inch, they can route more transactions to us because we have better liquidity.\nI am a believer in Ethereum, but I am open-minded about other public chains as well. I also hope to launch SushiSwap on public chains like Polkadot and Solana.\nWe want to create the best, most user-friendly DEX.\nCoinDesk China: When did you first start learning about cryptocurrency and blockchain?\nMaki: As early as 2013, someone introduced me to Bitcoin.\nCoinDesk China: Why did you decide to join SushiSwap?\nMaki: After reading a SushiSwap article on Medium, I felt that “Community Uniswap” is an indispensable part of the DEX ecosystem, so I contacted Chef and expressed my willingness to join.\nWhen I joined, staking, migration and governance contracts were all ready. Chef did not give me GitHub permissions, so I started directly preparing to work on market and operations.\nMy work at SushiSwap is completely voluntary. Now I only holdETHand YFI, I don’t have SUSHI tokens, nor participate in SUSHI liquidity mining. I value the success or failure of SushiSwap more than personal gains and losses.\nI have participated in YAM and YFI mining. Although I have not yet reached financial freedom, I’m not short on money.\nCoinDesk China: What is your personal opinion of Uniswap?\nMaki: I think Uniswap is very good. Its founder Hayden Adams is a person I really admire.\nI think we will coexist with Uniswap. There definitely will be multiple players on this track. In addition to Uniswap and SushiSwap, there will be other DEXs as well.\nCoinDesk China: Do you personally know Chef? Are Chef and sushiswap the same person?\nMaki: I saw SushiSwap’s introduction article on Medium, and after finding it very interesting I joined its Discord group. I was the third person to join, after Chef and sushiswap. I don’t think they are the same person, but they are probably two people who know each other in real life.\nCoinDesk China: Many people on the Internet are saying, Chef is actually FTX CEO Sam, is that true?\nMaki: No, Sam joined later. I don’t believe Chef and Sam are the same person.\nCoinDesk China: Are you disappointed bywhat Chef did?\nMaki: Chef sold all the tokens that were supposed to be used for a development fund, which is very surprising. At the beginning, Chef said that he didn’t come to make fast money, he was thinking about the community … I now think he’s all talk, and I am not sure of his original intention…\nIn the end he cashed out, but he also transferred the administrator authority to Sam, but his behavior caused the price of the SUSHI token to plummet.[Note: Chef Nomilater returned all $14 millionin ETH he cashed out.]\nCoinDesk China: Do you think Chef and sushiswap contributed to the project?\nMaki: They just copied Uniswap and YAM’s code, I don’t think they invested a lot in this project. They were more thinking about how to make fast money, without a long-term vision.\nBut I still thank them for giving me an opportunity to participate in this project, though it is forked out of other projects.\nI think SushiSwap could be made into a great project, so I’m willing to continue to support it. In the Ethereum community, I’ve also met a lot of great people, they have always encouraged me and we will continue to build this project together.\nCoinDesk China: After Sam took over management authority, what was the division of labor between you and Sam?\nMaki: Later I will “guide” the development of the entire project. … It is up to the community to make decisions, I only make suggestions.\nCoinDesk China: What is your opinion of Sam’s management authority?\nMaki: I am satisfied with the result. At the very beginning, Chef said he wanted to give management authority to me, but I wasn’t very confident in my own technical strength. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to make SushiSwap’s migration a success.\nLater, I suggested that Chef consider giving management authority to Andrew Kang or Sam, they both have a better understanding of technology, and are also very interested in this project. Sam also holds a lot of SUSHI, so he is financially motivated to do a good job in operating and managing this project.\nAfter the migration is completed and the multi-signature board of directors is determined, I think he will transition from the role of administrator to an ordinary community member. After that, I will mainly be responsible for leading this project to the next stage. Slowly, I will also fade out and gradually decentralize this project.\n• SushiSwap Co-Founder Sees Future Users in China and on Other Blockchains\n• SushiSwap Co-Founder Sees Future Users in China and on Other Blockchains", "Within a week of going online, DeFi project SushiSwap\x92s total value locked (TVL) surpassed $1.5 billion.

Spurred by the rise in popularity of DeFi projects, Ethereum has re-emerged as an industry-leading smart contracts provider, with companies often opting to launch new tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, interest in Ethereum from both institutional and retail investors has risen significantly with daily trade volume hitting a 10-week high of $20 billion on August 2. At the time of writing Ethereum is trading at $391 following a failed attempt at breaking above the critical level of resistance at $400. While the rejection from $400 can be perceived as being bearish, the fact that Ethereum is continuing to trade above 2019’s high of $367 indicates just how strong this rally is from a macro perspective. If Ethereum can begin to close daily and weekly candles above the $440 region it would almost certainly trigger bullish continuation to the upside, with potential price targets emerging at $515 and $624. This would have a profound impact on the rest of the cryptocurrency markets as it would likely drag Bitcoin, which is currently trading at $11,720, up along with it. When analysing the ETH/BTC trading pair it is clear to see that Ethereum has spearheaded this recent rally in terms of USD value, with the world’s second largest cryptocurrency by market cap making a 96.9% gain against Bitcoin since the turn of the year.

He was a researcher and programmer working on Bitcoin Magazine and he initially wrote a whitepaper in 2013 describing Ethereum. Buterin had proposed that Bitcoin needed a scripting language.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.51% on Saturday. Following on from a 0.49% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,458.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $10,415.0 before sliding to an early afternoon intraday low $10,287.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,255, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $10,492.0. Coming up against the first major resistance level at $10,496 and resistance at $10,500, Bitcoin eased back to limit the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%) and Tron’s TRX (-2.39%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Binance Coin surged by 12.08% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.53%), Ethereum (+3.71%), Litecoin (+3.80%), Monero’s XMR (+2.83%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.90%) also found strong support. Cardano’s ADA (+0.73%), EOS (+0.60%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.26%), and Tezos (+0.94%) trailed the pack, however. In the current week, the crypto total market fell to a Tuesday low $297.87bn before rising to a Saturday high $327.48bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $324.97bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 61.28% before falling to a Saturday low 59.17%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.28%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% to $10,435.3. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,461.1 to an early morning low $10,435.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.39%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.94%), and Ripple’s XPR (+0.20%) found support early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 1.28% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,538. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $10,492.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $10,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,617. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,333 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,200. The second major support level at $10,207 should limit any downside.

This week, we were told that the 60-day correlation between gold and bitcoin (BTC) had reached all-time highs. Last week, our monthly report featured a chart of BTC’s correlation with the DXY dollar index. A few weeks before that, the correlation with the S&P 500 was in the headlines. If you feel dizzy from the rapid turns in attention on which correlation metric matters, you’re not alone. But, you had better get used to it because the fascination with BTC’s correlation status is unlikely to fade any time soon. What this reveals about bitcoin is intriguing. It’s not so much the correlation measures per se – they are fun to watch go up and down, but they’re not the deeper story. The deeper story is why it matters so much to us. Related: Blockchain Bites: Big Bitcoin Bets, SushiSwap Drops, bZx Attacked When we point to BTC’s increasing correlation with the S&P 500, gold, avocados or whatever, we are searching for a handle on its prevailing narrative. We hope that correlations will give us a clue. BTC is a difficult asset to pin down. It is a scarce asset like gold, yet with a harder cap. It can be used for pseudonymous transactions, as can cash. It is a speculative holding for many, like equities. It is a bet on a new technology, like a growth stock. It is a hedge against a dollar collapse, a way to spread financial inclusion, an investment in financial evolution, a political statement. It is all of these, or none of these, depending on your intellectual leanings, economic philosophy and mood. The narrative we choose for bitcoin matters, though. Not only does it form our investment thesis around the asset, but it also influences our valuation methods. Do we extrapolate its potential price using the size of the gold market? The payments universe? Transaction fees? Something else entirely? Story continues So, faced with such a slippery narrative, we look to correlations to tell the story. If it’s highly correlated with gold, then the market views it as a safe haven. If it’s more closely correlated to the S&P 500, then it’s a risk-on investment. If bitcoin’s correlation to the dollar index plummets, then it’s a hedge. Related: Bitcoin’s Jump to $10.7K Ends 10-Day Sideways Trend We look to the market to tell us what bitcoin’s narrative is. But this creates a feedback loop (Follow gold! Follow Nasdaq!) that helps to perpetuate bitcoin’s momentum-fueled volatility, and which is often thrown off course by the evolving nature of markets. Make it a good one BTC’s 60-day correlation with the S&P 500 has been coming down recently. That must mean it’s no longer a risk-on asset. Its increasing correlation with gold corroborates that, putting BTC back in the safe haven story. But wait. You’ll have heard that BTC has not had a good run over the past few days. You’ll probably also have heard that Tesla has had a particularly bad time this week. I wonder if they’re correlated. What do you know, it looks like BTC’s correlation with TSLA is increasing!

Top shelf Bitcoin ETP Swiss crypto manager FiCAS AG announced what could be the first actively managed bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP). The firm’s Chairman Mattia Rattaggi said the Bitcoin Capital Active ETP’s portfolio could contain up to 15 altcoins as determined by market capitalization, liquidity and the rules of its host exchange, the SIX Swiss Exchange. Product managers will trade bitcoin against ETH , XRP , BCH , LTC , BNB, EOS , ADA, XLM , XTZ , TRX and exit to Swiss francs, euros and U.S. dollars. Rattaggi said the list could shift based on coin performance.

The New York-based fund, founded in 2017, recorded a 75% loss life-to-date. At its height, Tetras managed upwards of $33 million, according to financial filings, with an investment thesis centered around shorting ether and investing in alt-coins. At least 68 crypto hedge funds closed last year internationally, almost double the number – 35 – in 2018, according to a Crypto Fund Research report. SEN’s Zen Silvergate Bank continued to book new cryptocurrency customers in the second quarter while its portfolio of bitcoin-collateralized loans nearly doubled. According to its latest earnings report, the bank’s $1.1 billion traditional loans increased only 0.1% from the first quarter. Bitcoin-collateralized loans through the bank’s SEN Leverage product surged 88% in the same period, to $22.5 million. Tracing Tools LocalBitcoins, a peer-to-peer crypto exchange, has added two Elliptic blockchain-tracing tools, as it continues to become regulatory compliant. The Helsinki-based platform announced Tuesday it will use Elliptic’s Navigator risk analysis tool and Lens wallet screener to crack down on illicit crypto. The platform has been bolstering its anti-money laundering (AML) safeguards in response to the European Union’s AMLD5 and new Finnish business regulations. Recently, LocalBitcoins has suspended cash-for-crypto trading and added mandatory identity verification. Story continues Sustainable Investments Fasset, a fintech company headquartered in the U.K., has launched an Ethereum-based operating system dedicated to the ethical financing of sustainable infrastructure. The system tokenizes investments made in sustainable infrastructure – like solar power plants, wind farms and fiber optic – and makes them tradable among global investors. By moving the entire financing process to the blockchain, the firm intends to improve liquidity in the sustainable infrastructure sector and lower barriers to entry that will enable asset owners to avoid costly middlemen and directly list their assets on exchanges.

This excerpt is part of a series of stories, live-streamed conferences and a limited-run pop-up newsletter CoinDesk has created to celebrate Ethereum’s five year anniversary this week. Ethereum’s Devcon 1, held in London in November 2015, was like Woodstock, except perhaps with less nudity. Bankers and Big 4 consultants disguised in hoodies shared space with dreadlocked Ethereum coders, sitting cross-legged in the corners, their laptops open in front of them. Packed into a Victorian banking hall in the heart of the City of London, the audience listened as ConsenSys chief Joe Lubin predicted a new future for firms; cryptographer Nick Szabo talked about decentralization in the context of Francis Drake and the Aztecs; and chief scientist Vitalik Buterin assembled shards of the path that lay ahead. “The internet kind of sucks,” said Ethereum wallet designer Alex Van de Sande during his opening keynote. “It’s centralized, and it’s broken – but we can fix it this week.” Such was the optimism in the room. Keeping with the Woodstock motif, this moment in time possessed a kind of prelapsarian innocence: The DAO debacle and hard fork decision that followed was at least six months away, and further off still was the ICO gold rush. An earlier confab, Berlin’s Devcon 0, preceded Ethereum’s launch. In London, things were starting to get real. Market intel Bitcoin’s Bounce Bitcoin’s futures trading volume recorded triple-digit growth Monday, as institutions and investors raced into a market primed for a bull run. Aggregate daily futures volume on major exchanges reached $43 billion, the highest single-day volume since March 13, according to data source Skew. Daily trading volume on institutional exchange CME rose 570% to a yearly high of $1.32 billion, Bakkt registered a record volume of $132 million and total open interest for all exchanges rose to $5 billion – the highest since February. Yearly Highs: Bitcoin & Gold Bitcoin’s 13% price jump to 2020 highs of $11,180 on Monday came as the dollar’s value slides. This move was in tandem with gold’s newly set all-time high, both of which are referred to as inflation hedges. Bitcoin is up 57% year to date, more than double the 28% gain this year for gold, while the S&P is flat for the year. “Given gold has just set a new all-time high, and with bitcoin’s correlation to stocks breaking down while being replaced by a strong correlation to gold, we envisage further tests to the upside this coming week,” Diginex wrote in a report. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Currency Index, a gauge of the greenback’s value versus other major currencies, has fallen for seven straight sessions. A weakening dollar “mechanically pushes up the prices of the commodities invoiced in greenbacks,” according to the Wall Street Journal. Tech pod Launchpad Before Launch Ethereum developers have released a “validator launchpad” on the Medalla testnet to educate and prepare future validators as part of a multi-stage roll out of Ethereum 2.0. The transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, the core component of Eth 2, is designed to improve the system’s scalability. According to an announcement, three phases of the roll out are planned, with the first, phase 0, focusing on the underlying tech behind staking by tracking validators and their balances. The launchpad, which comes before phase 0, will enable validators to track and deposit test stakes on the upcoming Medalla multi-client testnet. Opinion Millennial Moves Matt Luongo, CEO of Thesis, thinks millennials are shaping the future of money. From fashion to tech, a millennial “desire for autonomy and granular choice” is now extending to finance. “For most of the past hundred years, retail finance was dominated by a small number of regional, and later national, institutions. No more: 71% of millennials would change banks based on the quality of an app, and a full third of us say we won’t need a bank at all in the future,” he writes.

The pullback, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the 38.2% FIB to wrap up the week at $366 levels. 5-days in the red that included a 4.04% gain on Wednesday and a 4.83% rally on Thursday delivered the upside. A 4.59% fall on Tuesday and a 5.47% slide on Sunday limited the upside for the week, however. For the week ahead Ethereum would need to move through the $360 pivot and 38.2% FIB of $367 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $397. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from last week\x92s high $390.41. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $427 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $360 pivot would bring the first major support level at $330 into play. Barring an extended broader-market sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$300 levels. The second major support level sits at $293. At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.94% to $359.47. A bearish start to the week saw Ethereum fall from an early Monday morning high $366.58 to a low $355.66. Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested at the start of the week.

According to wallet addresses tracked byGlassnode, miners are holding a total of more than 1.82 millionbitcoins, setting a two-year high and continuing a noticeable upward trend that began in September 2019. In just the last year, aggregate holdings by miners have increased by roughly 2%, excluding growth from other bitcoin miners not tracked by Glassnode. There are three possible causes for the increase in total bitcoins held by miners: Related:Energy Giant Equinor to Cut Gas Flaring With Bitcoin Mining: Report First, potential optimism that bitcoin’s recent rally will likely continue. • Miners’ holdings data appears to be a bullish signal, according to Thomas Heller, former director at leading mining pool F2Pool, who discussed it with CoinDesk in a private message. Miners seem to feel comfortable holding for a while, he said, possibly in anticipation of a higher price later on. • Miners aren’t the only ones holding more bitcoins, however. The percentage of all bitcoins that have been inactive for at least one year continues to growafter reaching four-year highs in June. Second, the rotation in hardware as miners order, receive and deploy new machines, according to Harry Sudock, vice president of strategy at GRIID, a data center and mining infrastructure company. • This process, which Sudock described as the “hardware cycle,” can take up to six months depending on pricing and order size, he told CoinDesk in a private message. Ultimately, fewer coins need to be sold to cover operational expenses during this retooling period. In addition, with the price of bitcoin so high, relatively few coins need to be sold to pay expenses. • As CoinDesk previously reported, two publicly traded bitcoin companies,Riot BlockchainandMarathon Patent Group, are both in the process of receiving and deploying hundreds of new machines over the next few months as they scale up their mining efforts. • As miners deploy new machines, they also enjoyed a 7% monthly revenue increase in July, according tonetwork dataanalyzed by CoinDesk, thanks to recent price appreciation and increased transaction fees. Last, the total number of coins held by miners has increased as new mining pools accumulate uncharacteristically large amounts of bitcoin. • Most notably, a significant percentage of recent overall growth comes from Lubian.com, a little-known mining pool that was largely inactive until March 2020, whose holdings are nearly on par with F2Pool, a mining pool founded in May 2013. • Over the past few months, the pool’s bitcoin holdings have increased to 9,373 BTC as of Thursday, representing an almost equal percentage gain up from 1 BTC in mid March, according to Glassnode. • The young mining operation controls the tenth-largest amount of the Bitcoin network’s hashrate, according to rankings byBTC.com. • Miners’ Bitcoin Holdings Reach Two-Year High to Almost 2M • Miners’ Bitcoin Holdings Reach Two-Year High to Almost 2M • Miners’ Bitcoin Holdings Reach Two-Year High to Almost 2M... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['The New York Attorney General\x92s office is losing patience with Bitfinex and Tether. NYAG Senior Enforcement Counsel John Castiglione filed a letter Monday ahead of a conference involving the regulator and the two cryptocurrency firms arguing it is time they complied with a 17-month-old document production order detailing financial information within the next two months. For their part, counsel representing the two firms argue the order is too broad and the scope should be limited first. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Investors the Sane Ones as Federal Reserve Cheers Inflation, Price Nears $11K \x93As of this filing, the 354 Order has been in place for seventeen months. In that time, Respondents have produced \x91jurisdictional\x92 documents (as directed by this Court) but failed to produce the core information called for in the Order. The delays must stop, and Respondents should be directed to comply promptly,\x94 Castiglione said. New York State Supreme Court Justice Joel M. Cohen scheduled the hearing for this Thursday, after receiving a request from the New York Attorney General\x92s (NYAG) office last week complaining that Bitfinex and Tether had yet to turn over any documents. According to Castiglione, the NYAG is requesting all documents be submitted within 60 days and an injunction preventing Tether from loaning funds to Bitfinex be extended a further 90 days. Charles Michael, an attorney with Steptoe and Johnson LLP representing Bitfinex, opposed any extension of the injunction in his own letter. \x93The allegedly concealed facts have been out in the open for 17 months, during which consumers have been free to redeem their tethers without restriction,\x94 he wrote. \x93Instead, they have chosen to buy, with tethers\x92 market cap growing six-fold (to over $14 billion).\x94 Related: NY AG Asks Court for New Order to Make Bitfinex Turn Over Tether Loan Documents In his view, the fact that Tether\x92s market cap has increased this dramatically indicates market confidence in the dollar-pegged cryptocurrency, and negates the justification for the injunction. Story continues \x93Consumers are well protected today, and do not need [the Attorney General\x92s] injunction. The loan transaction supposedly impairing tether \x92s reserves was over 25% of tether\x92s backing at the time of the injunction, but, thanks to Bitfinex\x92s repayments and tether\x92s growth, the balance now is less than 4% of tether\x92s backing,\x94 Michael wrote. He added that tether\x92s assets exceed the amount of USDT issued by $160 million. 17 months It has indeed been a long journey. The case began in April 2019, when the Attorney General\x92s office said Bitfinex had lost access to close to $1 billion in customer funds, and borrowed from Tether\x92s reserves. The stablecoin issuer shares corporate owners and executives with Bitfinex, though in various legal filings counsel for the companies said the loan and a subsequent line of credit were negotiated independently of each other. The NYAG won an injunction preventing Tether from sending any more funds to Bitfinex, and Cohen ordered the firms to share all documentation about the deals, as well as documents about tether issuances, among other concerns. Bitfinex and Tether appealed the ruling, but lost the appeal in July. Earlier this month, the NYAG\x92s office asked to schedule Thursday\x92s conference to request a new production order with a strict timeline. Monday\x92s letter provided more information. The NYAG wants Bitfinex and Tether to produce purchase information for tether, U.S. dollar withdrawal requests, tax documents and account information within one week. Read more: NY AG Asks Court for New Order to Make Bitfinex Turn Over Tether Loan Documents Within a month, the NYAG wants communications about Tether\x92s loans, loans to third parties and a list of U.S. or New York customers who had funds on Crypto Capital, and within 60 days it wants \x93full production\x94 of information related to a November 2018 subpoena, a February 2019 letter and jurisdictional documents. The original production order from 2019 called for the materials to be ready within a month, Castiglione said. \x93Most of the materials called for are core business documents that should exist and be readily accessible: order and trade information, client lists, lists of bank accounts and their balances, tax returns, and other similar material,\x94 the letter said, adding that, \x93the 354 Order is well over a year old and the appeal was decided two months ago.\x94 Michael wrote that some of the requests would require Bitfinex or Tether to \x93generate reports, accountings or answer questions\x94 that do not currently exist. \x91Extensive ties\x92 The NYAG also preemptively stated its opposition to any narrowing of the judge\x92s order, noting that \x93respondents have stated they will move this court\x94 to do so. According to Castiglione, the court\x92s role in the case is limited beyond the orders already signed, and the production demand is well within the NYAG\x92s authority under the Martin Act, the law it\x92s using to conduct its inquiry into Bitfinex. Michael\x92s opposition letter wrote that the court could limit the scope to avoid unduly burdening the respondents, in this case Bitfinex and Tether. The court itself has already said that any \x93unreasonable or not terribly relevant\x94 requests can be opposed. Bitfinex is arguing that a request for all documents about all tether transactions is overbroad. Michael likened it to \x93asking GM for all documents about cars.\x94 The NYAG is also looking for documents outside its jurisdiction, he claimed. In his brief, Michael wrote that the proposed timeline should be denied. Instead, he proposed a 30-day period for the two parties to discuss the scope of the request, saying Bitfinex and Tether would produce documents \x93not subject to dispute\x94 in the meantime. Read more: Tether, Bitfinex File Motion to Dismiss Market Manipulation Lawsuit He seemingly pushed back against the NYAG\x92s claims that insufficient documents have been produced, writing that the crypto firms have produced more than 70,000 documents so far. \x93Bitfinex and Tether also voluntarily produced extensive information to OAG, even while the First Department stay was in effect, including via two multihour presentations and a series of other communications aimed at answering directly the questions OAG indicated it was most interested in having answered,\x94 Michael wrote. He also noted that Bitfinex and Tether announced a ban on all New York customers nearly three years ago. Castiglione, in contrast, wrote that an investigation into Tether and tether is proper, \x93given their [respondents] extensive ties to the state.\x94 In his view, the appeals court\x92s ruling in the NYAG\x92s favor suggested the regulator could find additional information that would reveal further violations of the law.

The biggest crypto haters are now getting in on the action, most famously JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. Ether, the Pepsi to bitcoin’s Coca-Cola , came into its own as a separate, distinct and viable long term investment. Many investors are beginning to view cryptocurrency as more than a short term speculation play or a portfolio hedge. There is evidence that the major cryptocurrencies are being used as a play against the falling U.S. dollar. News of Bitcoin’s new highs came at around the same time as headlines of dollar debasement During the first mania in December 2017, bitcoin peaked at almost $20,000. Total market capitalization tripled from approximately $250 billion to $750 billion and barged into the mainstream public consciousness. Unfortunately for some traders, the market sold off just as quickly as it had pumped itself up. The total market cap for the crypto market Why Crypto is Here to Stay This Time Professional analysts don’t believe that crypto will give back its gains so quickly this time. I tend to agree. The major difference between 2017 and 2020 is crypto’s ease of access. When I first bought crypto circa 2015, it was a real David Hasselhoff. The exchange I used, Coinbase, was clunky, slow and illiquid. I was so frustrated with my experience there that I immediately moved my crypto into a private wallet and didn’t buy again for a time. Moving my coins into an off exchange wallet was an experience as well. I remember downloading the entire blockchain to my computer because there were few trustworthy light wallets, and even less information actually explaining what that meant. I bought a separate computer just for my bitcoin. I tried my best to learn hashes and forks. I remember thinking I was a financial genius for being able to capture and claim my Bitcoin Cash. It was a challenge for me! Story continues Today, Coinbase is a much better experience than I remember, and so are many other exchanges. I now have three wallets that are not only easy to use, but are actually fun to use. Fees have been reduced. Trading coins against each other is more like a video game. It is easy to switch coins. You can move in real time, fast enough to catch short term moves. I can basically trade my crypto just like I trade my securities. What’s more, the “establishment” has bought in. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) now offers futures contracts on bitcoin . Banks fought for and received the right to hold crypto quite recently. Pop singer Akon is building an entire city in Senegal based around his own coin, the Akoin. Megacompanies like Facebook and countries like Russia are now trying to create crypto rather than kill it. Regardless of which coins pass the test of time, digital currency has legs. It is here to stay. All the market has to do is attract people in. When it comes to easy access in the crypto market, few platforms give you an easier time than eToro. eToro deals in contracts for differences (CFDs) that serve as proxies for top cryptocurrencies . What’s the difference? When you buy or sell a CFD, you actually never own the crypto. But since the price of the contract is tagged to the price of the coin, you do benefit from good trades and suffer losses for bad ones. CFDs Versus Crypto So what are the benefits of trading CFDs rather than “real” crypto? First, you are trading on a highly liquid platform with easy entries and exits. Many crypto exchanges suffer from illiquidity and volatile price shifts. You also gain the safety of trading within the auspices of a regulated broker. eToro is regulated through many well known financial authorities including the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and holds as Australian Financial Services License. Second, you don’t have to worry about actually buying crypto, which can still be a hassle. Governments are doing their best to regulate crypto, and they are clamping down on the exchanges — the onboard ramps. As a result, you have to go through a bureaucracy of sorts to legitimately enter the market. You lose your anonymity, which was the first major advantage of using crypto in the first place. Third, you can easily trade crypto using leverage. Your limit on eToro is 2X when you trade cryptocurrencies. Getting in on the Game As it was in 2017, bitcoin is the number one performing asset class in 2020. This time, society may actually be ready to embrace it. If you are looking for a quick way to get in the market without learning all of the nuances of crypto, eToro CFDs can help.

Diplomatic officials have now called for an investigation into the incident, claiming posts that appeared to have been clicked by its ambassador Liu Xiaoming were the work of "anti-China elements" that used "despicable methods to deceive the public." \n\nScreenshots of the offending Twitter posts, which have since been unliked, have spread on the site over the past day after being shared by a human rights campaigner.\n\nAlongside the adult content, a second post that showed up as \'liked\' included an image taken from drone footage allegedly showing blindfolded Uighur Muslims.\n\nAnother, which included the terms "Free Hong Kong" and "Free the Uighurs," accused China of murdering its own citizens "without condemnation by the world."\n\nSome Twitter users who claimed to have scoured Lui\'s likes on the platform suggested the U.K. ambassador\'s account had a long history of \'liking\' unexpected content\n\n As social media chatter about the incident mounted, China\'s U.K. embassy released a statement denying the likes were by Liu, and urged the public not to speculate.\n\n"Recently, some anti-China elements viciously attacked Ambassador Liu Xiaoming\'s Twitter account and employed despicable methods to deceive the public," it said.\n\n"The Chinese Embassy strongly condemns such abominable behavior. The Embassy has reported this to Twitter company and urged the latter to make thorough investigations and handle this matter seriously. The Embassy reserves the right to take further actions and hope that the public will not believe or spread such rumor."\n\nTwitter, which remains banned in China but is used by select government officials, has declined to comment about the possibility the account was hacked. It\'s possible to use the \'like\' feature to bookmark posts, and can also be tapped by mistake.\n\nIn July, the social network was successfully targeted by bitcoin scammers who were able to compromise high-profile accounts including Elon Musk and Bill Gates.\n\nAccording to its bio, Liu\'s account was created in October last year.

Of the top 30 most actively traded securities on the OTCQX Market last month, the names with the greatest month-over-month increases in volume all fit into three buckets: cannabis, crypto, and gold. North and South American mining company GoldMining Inc. (OTCQX: GLDLF ) experienced the greatest increase from July to August, as dollar volume rose 344%. Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund LLC (OTCQX: GDLC ) followed with a 312% monthly increase, while Trulieve Cannabis Corporation (OTCQX: TCNNF ) and Green Thumb Industries Inc. (OTCQX: GTBIF ) increased 163% and 112% respectively. The pattern is hardly a surprise. In an industry buoyed by the fact that many dispensaries were allowed to remain open during quarantine, Trulieve and Green Thumb have been among the best-performing cannabis companies this year. Both companies have seen their shares rise over 300% from the bottom in mid-March. And with the major indexes rising to new all-time highs in the midst of a global pandemic, some investors have sought alternatives to U.S. equities\x97such as gold and cryptocurrencies. Along with GLDC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: GBTC ) and Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (OTCQX: ETCG ) also saw dollar volume rise 31% and 45% respectively during the month. In all, two of the top three most actively traded securities on OTCQX in July were crypto-related securities from Grayscale, and five of the top 10 are involved in cannabis.

Bakkt’s back?Growing institutional interest ishelping to drive a recent spike in volumeon Bakkt, according to its president, Adam White. Trading volumes for physically settledbitcoinfutures on Bakkt rose to $134 million on Tuesday from a previous high of $132 million on July 28, Muyao Shen reports. Physically settled means buyers receive tokens at expiration instead of cash. “It’s not a bet on the price of bitcoin,” White said. “It doesn’t rely on an index price created from unregulated spot markets that are self-reporting their data.” Despite the recent surge, Bakkt still lags behind CME Group, a bigger, U.S.-regulated exchange. Data shows the aggregated daily volumes of bitcoin futures on Bakkt and the CME were at $279 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, on Monday. Related:First Mover: Huobi Takes on OKEx in Futures, Opening New Front in 'Chinese' Rivalry Mongolian mining moratorium?Over20 bitcoin mining farms in China’s Inner Mongolia have been stripped of electricity perksafter a clampdown by the local government. A document issued by the Department of Industrial and Information Technology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Aug. 24, shows the government agency suspended electricity discounts provided by the state-owned regional energy trading firm, following onsite inspections that found many supposed data centers were actually bitcoin mining facilities. With the policy change, electricity costs could reach 0.38 yuan per kWh ($0.054), up from 0.26–0.28 yuan per kWh ($0.037 to $0.040), CoinDesk’s Wolfie Zhou reports. Venezuela’s crypto economyA new Chainalysis report focused on Latin America foundVenezuela ranks third in the world for crypto adoption,behind Ukraine and Russia. Venezuela has adopted a crypto-friendly attitude amid crippling sanctions and hyperinflation, though most retail usage is happening through peer-to-peer marketplaces, not government-approved exchanges. State-owned Criptolago, one of only seven exchanges with government approval, saw $380,000 in dollar-adjusted volume over the last year compared to LocalBitcoins’ $242 million over the same period. Client centralizationA “critical bug” has left13% of Ethereum nodesuseless, and it could take weeks or months to fix. Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum versions 2.7 and later contain a bug that stops nodes from syncing with the $43 billion network’s latest block. Clients are different programming language implementations of blockchain software, a way to strengthen the network by having concurrent yet separate systems running. This bug has highlighted the issue of client centralization, as Ethereum Foundation-backed Geth client now supports some 80% of the Ethereum network, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Wild predictionsTyler and Cameron Winklevoss, early crypto investors and founders of Gemini,believe weakness in the U.S. financial system and other factors mean bitcoin could one day reach $500,000per coin. In a post on the Winklevoss Capital blog Thursday, the two set out outlined “fundamental problems” with gold, oil, and the U.S. dollar as stores of value. “Even before COVID-19, and despite the longest bull run in U.S. economic history, the government was spending money like a drunken sailor, cutting taxes like Crazy Eddie, and printing money like a banana republic,” the brothers write. They recently met with prominent day-trader Dave Portnoy and told him gold could be devalued if figures like Elon Musk begin gold mining asteroids. • WhistleblowerKidnapped in UkraineAfter Accusing Crypto Firm of Exit Scam (Anna Baydakova/CoinDesk) • YouTube’sWhac-a-Mole Approach to Crypto ScamAds Remains a Problem (Ben Powers/CoinDesk) • US Files Suit AgainstCrypto Accounts Tied to North Korea(Danny Nelson/CoinDesk) • Tesla’s Gigafactory hit by Failed HackWanting BitcoinRansom (Shaurya Malwa/Decrypt) • When ETF?

This could signal increased bullishness about future gains, CoinDesk’s Zack Voell said. Miners are holding more than 1.82 million bitcoins, an increase of roughly 2% in the last year, according to data from Glassnode. In fact, this is part of a larger trend, where the percentage of all inactive bitcoin (meaning it hasn’t been traded or cashed in) hit a four-year high last spring. Thomas Heller, former director at leading mining pool F2Pool, said this was a bullish indicator, as it appears holders may be anticipating a higher price. To be sure, no one is clairvoyant, but we’re talking about market sentiment. But there is another technical reason miners, in particular, may be holding: mining factories are in a cycle of deploying newer mining machines. This phase in the “hardware cycle” means operation expenses have decreased, and therefore, so has the number of bitcoin sold to cover those expenses, Harry Sudock, vice president of strategy at GRIID, said. Presumably, costs would have spiked months ago, when miners were ordering the machines now being deployed. As miners deploy new machines, they also enjoyed a 7% monthly revenue increase in July, according to network data analyzed by CoinDesk, thanks to recent price appreciation and increased transaction fees.

Bitcoin rebounded back above $11,450 on Friday, erasing nearly 70% of the decline from $11,594 to $11,141 yesterday. Gold, too, has risen back to $1,960, having dropped to $1,910 after the event. “Powell’s speech suggests that there is no end in sight [for the Fed’s easy money policy],” John Kramer, trader at GSR, said. Put simply, Powell’s speech looks to have strengthened bitcoin’s long-term bullish case, CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole reports. WabiSabi lobbyPrivacy-focusedBitcoin software wallet Wasabi is working on a new protocol design, dubbed WabiSabi, to improve the user experience and privacyof the wallet’s CoinJoin transactions, CoinDesk tech reporter Colin Harper reports. The major design change would allow users to coinjoin with different values than their peers, a first for the technology, reduce the role of a centralized coordinator and potentially enable CoinJoin sends to other users. This process would operate in the background if it runs the way Wasabi envisions it, opening up the possibility to make “every spend a CoinJoin.” Fee-lessUSD Coin (USDC) hasintegrated “meta transactions” to the stablecoin platform to eliminate feespaid to the Ethereum blockchain when sending money around. “This enables people to fund their non-custodial wallets withUSDCand start using DeFi/dapps without also having to ownETH,” Coinbase developer Peter Jihoon Kim said. Adopted as part of a protocol update, USDC 2.0, the Centre Consortium also announced a new on-chain signature system, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Founded by Coinbase and Circle, USDC is the second-largest stablecoin by market cap at $1.4 billion.

The OCC published an interpretive letter Wednesday announcing that in its view, nationally chartered banks are able to provide custody services for cryptocurrencies, a move that the industry widely praised as one that could help mainstream adoption of crypto, even though it’s unclear as to whether banks will immediately act on the regulatory clarification. This development is likely to be very positive for the digital assets space, but major U.S. banks probably won’t be holding Bitcoin any time soon. Related: Crypto Bank Hopeful Bitcoin Suisse Raises $48M in First-Ever Round Congressman Darren Soto (D-Fla.) told CoinDesk in a phone call that the letter was “an important step” to better integrate cryptocurrencies into the U.S. financial system, though he cautioned that “the federal government is still behind in incorporating” cryptocurrency. “We support further integration of cryptocurrency into the financial system, including allowing the major financial institutions to hold this currency. It’ll lead to further legitimization of crypto,” he said. Across the aisle, Representative Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) agreed, telling CoinDesk in an emailed statement that providing custody is “a big step forward” for financial innovation. Both representatives are members of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus. Related: Wyoming-Based Avanti to Open in October With a New Bank-Issued Digital Asset “[Acting Comptroller] Brian Brook’s work should serve as a guiding light forward for the rest of our patchwork of financial regulators,” Emmer said. A number of aspects of the letter make it interesting, said a Congressional staffer, who advises a lawmaker on fintech issues and asked for their name to be withheld. The first was its rapid release, given Brooks just took the job in May. The staffer said a number of lawmakers will claim that insufficient research was put into the benefits or detriments of the move. Even the bullish Soto noted that the OCC’s announcement seemed hurried. “We’ve seen some things rushed throughout the Trump administration so this isn’t particularly surprising,” Soto said, though he added, “it’s been a long time coming. This should have happened months or years ago.” The Congressional staffer added that the form of the letter is interesting, in that it’s not an announcement or a rule. “It looks like it’s an interpretive letter, which maybe a specific bank asked for … and that’s fairly normal practice if regulations are a little ambiguous but usually … you don’t issue it writ large.” Story continues Starting a conversation Up until now, the lack of regulatory clarity has meant mainstream financial firms like Fidelity have managed to get into crypto, but only by going the long way around and creating a separate legal entity, such as Fidelity Digital Assets. The OCC letter provides clarity so that banks can get closer to crypto without worrying about regulatory uncertainty. “People who are supportive of crypto and blockchain technology will see this as a very positive step, and the more skeptical crowd, this’ll further entrench their viewpoint,” the Congressional staffer said. “I think there’s a very large group of politicians who have never thought about this, so that’s the real benefit is it’ll start that discussion.” Ron Hammond, a former aide to Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), agreed that the move might force a conversation around crypto, but noted that neither major party – Democrats or Republicans – currently have a platform around financial technology or digital assets. He expects Democrats as a party to come out against the move, he told CoinDesk in a phone call. “Democrats already are skeptical of banks [and] they’re even more skeptical of digital assets, so you put those two together and you have a pretty big policy storm of mistrust in the system,” he said. Anti-money laundering and know-your-customer concerns may be brought up, along with the fact that Brian Brooks, the current Acting Comptroller of the Currency, has been neither formally nominated nor confirmed to his role. The conversation about crypto will not be limited to Capitol Hill. Alex Batlin, CEO of digital asset custody provider Trustology, and a former blockchain lead at BNY Mellon and UBS, told CoinDesk he expects there to be “a lot more conversations” about crypto in various company boardrooms this coming fall. Open door A number of barriers still remain before any nationally chartered banks are able to actually offer crypto custody services. Hammond said that while the letter might provide cover for smaller banks, major ones would need more reassurance before they’d be willing to enter the space. “I don’t expect you will see much change in the next three to four months, but then we might see some acceleration thereafter,” Batlin said. “I expect that after the summer, this will come up as banks will be holding investment committees for funding approvals for the next year.” There are also concerns around whether the letter can provide binding guidance. The Congressional staffer noted that the relevant statutes could be interpreted differently by another administration, meaning a future letter or rulemaking process could tell banks the opposite of Wednesday’s missive. Still, the OCC’s overtures open the door for much less risky and cheaper routes into crypto for big banks, said Batlin. The way banks are likely to dip their toes in is by going the sub-custody route, he said, by partnering with small specialist organizations. “That’s exactly what a global custodian like BNY Mellon does anyway,” Batlin said. “Now that this activity is going to be regulated, I expect the cheapest solution for bigger banks is to have some kind of semi-derisked trial of this is to use someone as a sub-custodian.” Following Europe The OCC letter brings the U.S. closer to the situation in Germany, where lawmakers provided clarity that essentially eased restrictions on banks providing custody of crypto assets. Germany’s Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) released guidance earlier this year clarifying how firms based outside the nation could still provide custody services within Germany’s borders and remain in compliance with international law, such as the European Union’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive. “The U.S. is following Europe, and the use cases are unlikely to be crypto coins,” said Phil Mochan, co-founder of Koine, a London-based custody and post-trade settlement solution for digital assets. “The banks in Germany are all saying they are not going to touch crypto coins, but are interested in primary issuance of securities on behalf of their clients.” Mochan pointed out that simply providing cold storage of crypto keys does not resolve any of the post-trade activities needed for standard market infrastructure, which involves the emergence of blockchain-enabled central securities depositories (CSDs). Election approaching Back in the U.S., the upcoming presidential election is one wild card that might determine whether the next Comptroller reverses the decision or not. “I don’t see a situation where a [Republican President Donald] Trump nominee, whether he be Brooks or someone else, would overturn this but I can see a situation in a [Democratic Presidential nominee Joe] Biden administration where this gets overturned,” he said. That’s not to say a potential Biden administration would for sure overturn the move, and it’s unlikely to be a key priority, but the uncertainty remains. “There’s no notice or comments, [no] input [from] the industry,” Hammond said. “I can see a Biden administration being more concerned about that and probably striking down the [letter].” Soto said Congress needed to take action to bring further clarity, starting with passing the Token Taxonomy Act (which Hammond wrote while working for Davidson) and the Digital Taxonomy Act (which Soto sponsored). “We need to pass both those bills to establish basic definitions and jurisdiction so there’s no overreach by agencies and there’s more certainty,” he said. “I continue to be troubled by the fact that many new cryptocurrency firms have to spend [millions] due to the complex rules in the United States and that’s because we’ve left it solely to the agencies.” Related Stories Banks Won’t Rush to Hold Crypto – But OCC’s Regulatory Approval Makes It Harder to Ignore Banks Won’t Rush to Hold Crypto – But OCC’s Regulatory Approval Makes It Harder to Ignore View comments... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/brnrmbo', 'Old Missoula sub is locked.', 31, '2020-09-17 00:12', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/MissoulaMontana/comments/iu62ar/old_missoula_sub_is_locked/', 'Hello fellow Missoulians, as reported on [r/subredditdrama](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/itzmhh/mod_of_rmissoula_locks_comments_sub_wide_because/), the old Missoula subreddit is locked.

This decision is directly related to the presence of PCBs in the air discovered during our ReEnvisioning project and has nothing to do with COVID. During this time, classes will continue online for BHS students and we will work to identify new spaces for in-person learning for Burlington Technical Center. \n\n \n\nThis morning Board Chair Wool, Director of Property Services Marty Spaulding, our ReEnvisioning consultants, and I met with representatives from EPA, Vermont Department of Health (DOH), Vermont Department of Natural Resources, and the Agency of Education to discuss the results of air quality sampling that are now available on our website. \n\n \n\nWhile we had initially been encouraged that the air testing was below the EPA guidelines of 500 nanograms per meter, the DOH levels of standards are 15 nanograms per meter and they made a strong recommendation that we not return to BHS or BTC without further diagnosing and mitigating the issue of PCB's in the air. The EPA was in agreement with this recommendation and noted that their standards often serve as more of a starting point after which they recommend further testing and conversation. After listening to the recommendations, conversation, and concerns, I made the difficult decision to keep our building closed to in-person learning and, beginning immediately, any personnel non-essential to the testing, mitigation, or maintenance processes. \n\n \n\nThe exception to this is the kitchen and cafeteria. These rooms have all come in under the Department of Health's allowable levels and both the DOH and the EPA have said we should feel okay continuing to use these spaces for our District food preparation but should keep an eye on the spaces and include them in future testing. This is good news for us as a District, as the kitchen at BHS is used to prepare food for many students and community members, not just our BHS population. \n\n\nI know this news must come as a shock to many of you, and I know that many students are likely very disappointed to once again be missing out on so many in-person connections. I want to assure you that we will work as fast and as hard as we can to get students back into our buildings as soon as we can. At the same time, our conversations this morning underscored that even the least-costly mitigation options will be expensive and time-consuming. \n\n\nAt BHS, our best-case scenario is that this process will take at least four months. For BTC, we expect the process to last significantly longer, which is why we are working to identify alternative spaces for these hands-on programs. As I balance the safety of staff and students with the desire to return to in-person learning, I also want to assure our community that I will be keeping a close eye on our financial obligations and our needs to complete the BHS/BTC ReEnvisioning project and be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. \n\n\nFor our staff and teachers, I know that many of you have concerns. Our Human Resources team is actively working with our insurance and benefits providers to explore what these results mean and how we can help and support you. Please expect more information from HR in the next few weeks. \n\n\nFinally, I want to thank you all - parents, students, staff, and our community for your patience and understanding through this process. I know this a lot of information and it is not what you were hoping or expecting to hear this week. I have previously shared a factsheet regarding PCBs and am including it again here. Our partners at the State are prepared to continue to answer questions about PCB exposure and District staff are prepared to continue to answer questions about the ReEnvisioning project, as well as online learning and curriculum. \n\n\nPlease stay in touch and stay engaged as we go through this process together. \n\n\nSincerely, \n\nTom \n\n--\nOffice of the Superintendent \| Burlington School District\n150 Colchester Avenue \| Burlington, VT 05401 \n(office) 802.864.8474 \| (fax) 802.864.8501 \| www.bsdvt.org\n\nFollow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @btvschools", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/', 'iu8kqu', [['u/cesare980', 29, '2020-09-17 02:37', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/g5j6gc3/', 'So can we like build a new high school now?', 'iu8kqu'], ['u/friedmpa', 15, '2020-09-17 02:47', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/g5j7k8h/', 'so what happens when a ton of people have debilitating health effects for the next 50 years...', 'iu8kqu'], ['u/orangekrush19', 24, '2020-09-17 03:07', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/g5j9m7r/', 'Burlington can’t catch a break in 2020...good lord.

Today's Key News: ['The number of monthly users who earned T-Points , or loyalty points, for bitcoin ( BTC) payments on the bitFlyer exchange in Japan reached a record high in August. The two companies partnered to offer rewards to customers last year. According to a bitFlyer report featured in a CoinDesk Japan article Thursday, the exchange did not specify the number of users of the service. But BTC was trading at 1.3 million Japanese yen ($12,400) in August for the first time in a year Midori Kanemitsu, a market analyst at bitFlyer, indicated this reflects a larger trend: against the backdrop of COVID-19 and global monetary easing, bitcoin is shifting from a speculative investment for individuals to an institutional hedge against inflation. Kanemitsu also expects institutional investors to enter the Japanese bitcoin market. A bitFlyer survey conducted earlier this year revealed that 30% of new visitors to the exchange are in their 20s, and that number has doubled since a previous survey conducted in 2018. The rewards system, launched in August 2019, allows users who have a bitFlyer account to exchange T-points for BTC. Users can also earn one T-point for every 500 yen (~$4.80) spent in BTC at participating member stores.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the $10,928 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,267. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,200 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $11,263 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,601. Failure to move back through the $10,928 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $10,594 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $10,255.

Following on from a 0.11% decline on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,957.2. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early low $10,903.4 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,794, Bitcoin struck a late morning intraday high $11,064.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,097, Bitcoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $10,825.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,794, Bitcoin revisited $10,970 levels before falling back into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest visit to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Friday. Binance Coin (+1.99%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.49%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.35%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.94), Cardano’s ADA (-3.29%), EOS (-1.86%), Ethereum (-1.25%), Stellar’s Lumen (-2.65%), and Tezos (-3.42%) struggled on the day. Litecoin (-0.68%), Monero’s XMR (-0.55%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.49%) saw relatively modest losses, however. In the current week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $314.21bn before rising to a Thursday high $340.01bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $333.33bn.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.24% to $10,984.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $10,957.0 to a high $10,995.8. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.85%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.25%), Monero’s XMR (+0.23%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.25%) joined Bitcoin in the green. Story continues It was a bearish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tezos was down by 1.44% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,949 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,073.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and current week high $11,105 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,188 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,949 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,834 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,700 levels. The second major support level at $10,710 should limit any downside.

Marathon Patent Group(NASDAQ:MARA) stock is one to avoid. At its inception in 2012 it was a patent companyfounded on a portfolio of three patentsand one application. In August 2017 Marathon announced it intended to also pursue potentialalternative businesses. Then, in November 2017, it acquired Global Bit Ventures, cementing its current direction as a crypto miner. Since then MARA stock has rattled off three years of successive losses. Source: Shutterstock Clearly this is a company that is in chaos looking for hope. The chances of it finding that hope look very, very slim. The company’s latest news does, however, leave a slight possibility. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Since Marathon Patent Group pivoted business to cryptomining, MARA stock has seen three distinct peaks. First, at the announcing of its new direction, the stock shot up. It then sharply decreased to around $1 within its first five months of cryptomining. It mostly proceeded to remain under a dollar for the next year. In April 2019 it enacted a 4-for-1 reverse stock split pushing shares above theNasdaq’s$1 minimum price listing requirement. Again, Marathon shares ratcheted down to below a dollar and the company was facing NASDAQ listing trouble. The company undertook a series of mining computer purchases, issued stock, and acquired a separate mining company. These moves, along with recent price appreciation in cryptos, managed to bring shares above $5. They have since retreated to their current price of $2.50. • 10 Blue-Chip Stocks Ideal for Any Investor This clear pattern of boom and quick retreat has defined MARA stock ever since it became a crypto mining company. Marathon Patent Group has essentially been buying more computers so that they have more capacity to mine. Their business model is relatively simple: hope that you can mine more Bitcoin in value than its costs. Energy costs and computer costs are relatively predictable, Bitcoin much less so. MyInvestorPlacecolleague Thomas Yeung laid out the inherent misdirection of Marathon Patent Group’s business plan inhis recent article. The previous three years do look like a strategy of taking what hasn’t worked, and then deciding to scale it up. That’s a recipe for increasing losses. However, there has been news out of the company of late which, if true, could change the fundamental investment attractiveness of MARA stock. On Aug. 26 the company announced its intent to acquire Fastblock Mining. The company is making some pretty big claims about the fundamental changes this will bring. First, Marathon Patent Group states their current cost to mine one Bitcoin is $7,400. It also contends that upon this deal being consummated, the cost will drop to $3,600 per Bitcoin. They believe this will increase their monthly revenues to about $4 million. This steep decrease comes from a low electricity cost of $0.0285 per KwH in the new location. Past financial statements raise many, many red flags. This company has not managed to make money so far. And investors really have to ask themselves, is the stated $4 million in monthly revenue really feasible? The company had $1.185 million in revenue inallof 2019 from 26,700 square feet of operations. Now with 40,000 additional sq.ft, revenues will increase to $48 million annually? They should rise essentially in a linear fashion. But they’ve jumped exponentially while Marathon Patent Groups square footage has increased by 150% (26,700 to 66,700). Maybe the bitcoin prices will hold true to their projections and they’ll see their revenues turn positive. But given their track record, it makes more sense to side with me and avoid this stock.

Before First Kid , the Minnesota-born actor secured roles in a series of PG-rated comedies, playing a young Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks , before graduating to smaller parts in movies like Problem Child 3: Junior in Love . When his screen time shrunk, Pierce retired from acting for a real executive role: co-founding the video production start-up Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) alongside businessman Marc Collins-Rector. At age 17, Pierce served as its vice president, taking in a base salary of $250,000. DEN became “the poster child for dot-com excesses,” raising more than $60 million in seed investments and plotting a $75 million IPO. But it turned into a shorthand for something else when, in October of 1999, the three co-founders suddenly resigned. That month, a New Jersey man filed a lawsuit alleging Collins-Rector had molested him for three years beginning when he was 13 years old. The following summer, three teens filed a sexual-abuse lawsuit against Pierce, Collins-Rector, and their third co-founder, Chad Shackley. The plaintiffs later dropped their case against Pierce (he made a payment of $21,600 to one of their lawyers) and Shackley. But after a federal grand jury indicted Collins-Rector on criminal charges in 2000, the DEN founders left the country. When Interpol arrested them in 2002, they said they had confiscated “guns, machetes, and child pornography” from the trio’s beach villa in Spain. While abroad, Pierce had pivoted to a new venture: Internet Gaming Entertainment, which sold virtual accessories in multiplayer online role-playing games to those desperate to pay, as one Wired reporter put it, “as much as $1,800 for an eight-piece suit of Skyshatter chain mail” rather than earn it in the games themselves. In 2005, a 25-year-old Pierce hired then-Goldman Sachs banker Steve Bannon—just before he would co-found Breitbart News. Two years later, after a World of Warcraft player sued the company for “ diminishing ” the fun of the game, Steve Bannon replaced Pierce as CEO. Story continues The ‘Varsity Blues’ Screenwriter’s Cold-Blooded Crusade Against L.A.’s Homeless Collins-Rector eventually pleaded guilty to eight charges of child enticement and registered as a sex offender.

The CBOE Volatility Index is nearing its lowest point since February 24, when Covid-19 fears first swept through Wall Street. And on OTC Markets, trading volume has started to recede back to pre-March levels. With the exception of the OTCQB Venture Market, which just experienced its highest volume month of the year in June, trading volume on the OTCQX Best Market and Pink Current Information Market have reverted back to levels in-line with typical activity. Here are four other takeaways from first-half trading activity on OTC Markets. Elevated Volume Was A Theme Through 2020’s halfway mark, total dollar volume on OTC Markets was about $224.6 billion, up 32% on a year-over-year basis. Unsurprisingly, March was the highest volume month as investors digested the implications of a pandemic and economic crisis. Nearly 25% of the total year-to-date dollar volume on OTC Markets occurred in March. As A Whole, Venture Companies Outperformed Of the nine indexes that track the broad-based performance of securities on OTC Markets, the benchmark with the best performance in the first half was the OTCQB Index, which fell 5.36% from the end of 2019. In addition to early stage venture companies, the OTCQB market is home to many metals and miners, which are typically seen as safe-haven assets during times of market turmoil. This was followed by the OTCQX Dividend Index, a benchmark of all the OTCQX members that pay a regular dividend, which fell 8.19%. There Were 115 New Companies On OTCQX And OTCQB This includes companies from across the economic landscape, specifically community banks, miners, and venture stage biotechs. The 115 new QX and QB securities figure is on par with prior year totals, a sign that businesses still see the U.S. capital markets as a viable option for raising capital in 2020. Story continues The average year-to-date gain of these new securities in the first half of 2020 was 20.84%. Roche And GBTC Were The Most Actively Traded Names Through June, Roche Holding Ltd (OTCQX: RHHBY ) was the only security on the OTCQX Best Market, the top tier of OTC Markets, to exceed $10 billion in dollar volume. In keeping with the trend from 2019, Roche and GBTC were far and away the two most actively traded securities on the market through the first six months. Below is a list of the top 10 most actively traded securities on the OTCQX tier of OTC Markets in the first half: Roche Holding Ltd (OTCQX: RHHBY, RHHBF, RHHVF) $12,594,906,931 $297.4 billion Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: GBTC ) $6,389,893,871 $5.2 billion Danone (OTCQX: DANOY, GPDNF) $1,854,398,826 $45.7 billion adidas AG (OTCQX: ADDYY, ADDDF) $1,283,167,427 $54.7 billion BNP Paribas (OTCQX: BNPQY, BNPQF) $1,040,232,206 $50 billion BASF SE (OTCQX: BASFY, BFFAF) $778,893,311 $50.3 billion Imperial Brands PLC (OTCQX: IMBBY,IMBBF) $765,614,985 $15.8 billion AXA (OTCQX: AXAHY, AXAHF) $762,624,422 $48.3 billion Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: IFNNY, IFNNF) $694,588,314 $30.8 billion Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V.

If you commented in this [[Drawing Thread]](https://old.reddit.com/r/millionairemakers/comments/ivgnwd/drawing_thread_58_septembers_here_and_with_it/), you are entered in the drawing and don't need to do anything else. By 16:00 UTC, the winner will be selected. The Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain will be used to pick this winner. This can be verified at any device running Python 3.5, and you do not need to own Bitcoin in order to participate.\n\nAdditionally, all information to replicate the Drawing at home is available on Dropbox and GitHub, scroll down for more information.\n\nImportantly, this post WILL NOT BE EDITED in order to keep the integrity of the Drawing. To verify this, there will not be an asterisk during the time passed since its creation. The winner will be announced in a stickied comment.\n\n\n\nDISCLAIMER:* Some of the information may be unrevised, but procedures are the same as prior draws. Thank you.\n\n*\n\nOff Topic:\n\nThe [Discussion] Thread at /r/millionairemakersmeta is open. All comments are welcome there for any inquiries.\n\n[Discussion for Fall and Winter 2020-2021]: https://old.reddit.com/r/millionairemakersmeta/comments/iw8mse/_/\n\n\n\nExplanation!\n\nThe Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain will be used to choose a winner. Once the time listed has passed, there will be an active check to determine the blockchain's winning hash. Like before, this subreddit will wait for the 3^rd Block* after the time (being 16:00 UTC) to select the winner.\n\nIf a block is discovered by 15:59 UTC, it will not be counted towards the counter of three blocks. If it's discovered by 16:00:00 UTC, then it will decrease the counter. This can be checked by seeing the timestamp given to it by blockchain explorers.\n\nYou are able to see how this subreddit will verify the winner by checking the GitHub repository, which also includes a back-up plan in case of an emergency.\n\n*\n\nStandard Protocol:*\n\nThis post will not be edited!* This is to prevent tampering of the hash or files by any of the moderators. To prove this, look for the lack of an asterisk near the time since creation.\n\nTo verify if a hash for a file is that of Draw #58, upload the file of choice to a SHA-256 generator, and match it with its respective hash output. The result you receive should be the same as what is listed here.\n\nIf you are interested in doing this for yourself, download Python 3.5 or better and follow the path to the folder labeled: MM58\n\n*\n\nStatus Reports:\n\nI will be commenting on the progress of the drawing via the comments, so other users can keep track of the progress. These comments will be pinned at the top of the post and be distinguished. Most likely, after 1:00 PM ET, the pinned comment will be announcing the winner.\n\nIf you can run Python yourself and follow the instructions, you will be able to find the winner. Make sure the hash released from the blockchain and the total number of participants match with what is described below.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.47% on Sunday. Reversing a 1.29% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended week up by 5.84% to $10,934.5. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $11,098.0 to a late afternoon intraday low $10,779.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,950 and the second major support level at $10,803. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the second major support level to wrap up the day at $10,930 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest visit to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish end to the week. Bitcoin Cash SV and Tezos led the way down, with losses of 4.78% and 4.11% respectively. Binance Coin (-3.05%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-3.60%), and Ethereum (-3.78%) weren’t far behind. Cardano’s ADA (-2.17%), EOS (-1.05%), Litecoin (-2.89%), Monero’s XMR (-1.72%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.79%), Stellar’s Lumen (-2.16%), and Tron’s TRX (-2.14%) saw relatively modest losses. It was a mixed week for the crypto majors, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.58%), Ethereum (+1.12%), Monero’s XMR (+8.00%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.83%) bucked the trend in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack. Binance Coin (-15.52%), Tezos (-15.40%), and Tron’s TRX (-11.84%) led the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-6.01%), Cardano’s ADA (-6.07%), EOS (-2.07%), Litecoin (-2.28%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-3.85%) also saw red. In the week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $314.21bn before rising to a Saturday high $341.59bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $330.57bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 59.64% to a Wednesday high 61.56%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.25%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.30% to $10,967.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,917.0 before rising to a high $10,967.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.25%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.59%), EOS (-0.19%), Litecoin (-0.23%), Monero’s XMR (-0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.22%), and Tezos (-0.19%) saw early losses. It was a relatively bullish day for the rest of the pack, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was up by 0.62% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $10,937 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,095. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday high $11,098 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,256 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $10,937 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,776 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level at $10,618 should limit any downside.

The Web 3.0 data-storage project, funded by a $257 million initial coin offering that closed inSeptember 2017, has been building out its technology ever since. While Filecoin has been quieter than most over that time, Filecoin is currently wrapping up a very active incentivized testnet calledSpace Race. There are 1.5 million FIL tokens allocated to testnet participants, though it’s hard to assess the value of that offer when the company has refused to discuss details that might inform FIL’s underlying price. Nonetheless, this testnet has been quite popular. Related:Internet 2030: The Future and How We Get There “Miners are learning a ton,” Filecoin’s Ian Darrow told CoinDesk. More than $100 million worth of hardware has come online to serve the testnet, he said. More than 200pebibytesof data capacity has been proven. “Overall, it’s exceeded expectations,” Darrow said. There are futures markets for the forthcoming token, too.Gate.iois currently trading futures at $18.50 inUSDTas of this writing. In a recent investor letter, Pantera Capital said that Filecoin futures were “trading well above our cost basis.” Filecoin’s creator Juan Benet hasa bright visionfor the future of the web, and thus the Filecoin network aims to be a next-generation marketplace for data storage and retrieval, potentially competing with the web giants that control the data storage space – Amazon, Microsoft and Google – and content delivery networks like Cloudflare. Sept. 15, 2020 \| 4 p.m. ETWe’re hosting a conversation with Filecoin founder Juan Benet, Filecoin project lead Colin Evran, Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin and CoinDesk senior reporter Brady Dale.Watch it live onCoinDesk.com,TwitterorYouTube. Related:What Is Yearn Finance? The DeFi Gateway Everyone Is Talking About While it’s true the cost of storage has only trended down and selling storage has effectively made it a commodity product, the Filecoin thesis is two-fold: • Demand for data storage will soon skyrocket. • There will be demand for a new kind of storage, one that can prove redundancy and accessibility. The lastFilecoin roadmap updatethat addressed mainnet launch said it would happen in mid- to late September. When we spoke to Darrow he said this was still on track. “Unlike centralized cloud storage services, which back up data in ways clients can’t change or verify, Filecoin allows clients to easily express their own preferences for reliability and cost,” a new document released ahead of the network launch,Engineering Filecoin’s Economy, explains. It goes into several key elements of the new system. Here are some of the main takeaways. “One thing that I don’t think was super-well understood before this came out is the mechanics and the rationale around how miner collateral works in Filecoin,” Darrow said. Mining on Filecoin is largely about providing storage space using traditional storage systems. This is commodity hardware. Almost anyone with an internet connection can participate. A quality one-terabyte hard drive can be purchased for around $50, though most entities participating will put up vastly more than that. The point being that Filecoin does not enjoy the expensiveness of specialized hardware (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum ASICs) as a way to discourage unserious participants, so it needs to require a slashable stake in order to prevent malicious actors from accepting deals for terms they don’t honor. The Filecoin system requires upfront collateral. Block rewards are also subject to vesting, in order to help ensure participants stick around long enough to honor commitments. Filecoin wants the storage capacity of the network to grow, but without inducing an ugly “Day 1 gold rush,” said Darrow. “There’s this really nasty incentive for people to pile in early,” Darrow said of other projects. “Mining rewards are the highest early, total mining power is the lowest, so you attract a lot of people who are bouncing from project to project.” Filecoin has a pre-set growth schedule for storage capacity and 70% of the mining rewards are tied to that baseline. If the network hasn’t hit that target, then block rewards are reduced to the proportion it has achieved. The idea, Darrow explained, is to lessen the first-mover advantage. “Because the network reward grows as mining power grows, it matters less when a miner enters the network,” he said via email. “The overall result is that Filecoin rewards to miners more closely match the utility they, and the network as a whole, provide to clients,” the “Economy” document states. Filecoin increases the baseline 200% annually, only giving the community an option to slow its growth down once the network reaches over 1% of global storage. Based on the experience with the Space Race, Darrow said, “It seems like we won’t have trouble hitting pretty gaudy numbers in the first year.” One of the features that might seem strange about Filecoin at the outset is that participants can earn rewards for storing nothing. This is referred to as committed capacity. It’s effectively empty space that has nevertheless received the Filecoin cryptographic treatment and is getting logged and rewarded on the system. At first blush, this might not make any sense, but it’s a matter of having some room in the system. “What you don’t want is a network where there’s no extra capacity available or you don’t know extra capacity is available,” Darrow said. Further, because all nodes are also participating in securing the Filecoin blockchain, they are contributing to consensus. That said, Filecoin doesn’t want that many participants to commit empty blocks, so an incentive system has been created to push folks to find real clients. Serving verified clients earns significantly higher block rewards. These are real companies with real needs making real deals for data. The idea is it won’t be that hard to become a verified client, but its business should be significantly more attractive to those on the network. “Verified clients are certified by a decentralized network of verifiers,” the new document explains. This will be a set of large, recognizable entities in the ecosystem, Darrow said, though the list is not public. It will be groups such as: nonprofits that do a lot of data storage, academic entities and the major foundations of the blockchain world. Storing verified client data will receive higher block rewards than unverified data or empty blocks (since it is encrypted, the Filecoin network cannot tell the difference between the two). In fact, Filecoin has already beenseeding the worldwith verified data. Because verified data is so attractive, Darrow said the team expects miners will do business-development work to try to secure deals with verified clients, helping to improve overall competitiveness across the system. Filecoin is usually described as entering the space of Amazon Web Services or Dropbox, but it’s a bit more disruptive than that. Filecoin also seeks to account for content delivery network (CDN) services as well. The most famous CDN is probably Cloudflare, and these networks fulfill a surprising role on the internet. Data moves fast but the world is big, and it’s still true that a file closer to a user gets there noticeably faster than one that’s further away. Most stored data never gets touched and so will never need these services, but some stored data becomes very popular. For such popular data, companies can provide retrieval services, meaning they would get paid for serving the data to customers. An example Darrow gave was when a certain video goes viral. A CDN could cache copies of that video all over the world and bid for the chance to serve it to viewers. These additional copies would not count toward the copies the client had paid to keep securely on Filecoin, but they could be used in a retrieval market. In many if not most cases, Darrow said, the storage providers will also provide the retrieval services, but there are likely to be cases in which it makes sense for CDN-like entities to step in for certain files. Clients pay for storage in FIL, which is volatile. The Filecoin system requires storage clients to commit their payments upfront over the life of a deal, though miners will only get paid if they meet their commitment. The “Economy” document illuminates the advantages of this arrangement: “In addition to collateral commitments from both parties, there’s also a deal payment from client to miner. This payment is initially locked by the client when the deal is incorporated into the blockchain; as a result, the client’s exposure to Filecoin price volatility ends the moment they enter into a storage deal. Payment is released to the miner as some fraction of the total deal fee per payment period.” On the other hand, many storage clients may be accustomed to paying as they go rather than paying a lump sum at the beginning. Darrow said the trade-off here is they only pay for what they need. As money on the internet becomes more complex, this will also likely present an opportunity for third parties to finance upfront payments for companies that want to use Filecoin but pay at flexible regular intervals. One of the most important facets of Filecoin to understand is that it relies on a concept called content addressing. Most addressing on the internet relies on locations. Go to a URL and see the thing you want there. As the internet ages, more and more of these links are dead. Called “link rot,” there’sa growing pushamong bloggers to link to archives rather than the original sources. Filecoin points to content, not location, though, which means it might be found in any number of places. Filecoin takes this a step further and also cryptographically proves the uniqueness of each copy. So if a client wanted to know there were 101 copies of file all around the world, they could use proofs to verify both that each copy was unique and that they were well d... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Digital Yuan is the newest addition to the global digital currency portfolio. It\'s the first currency of its kind that is fully backed and sponsored by a large nation and investors are betting on it skyrocketing. Independent Research Group interviewed over 7,650 investors in the UK and Ireland and found that over 92% considered investing in Digital Yuan and 76% have already invested or are preparing to invest within the next two weeks. With the current financial markets in turmoil, many high-return seeking individuals are turning towards digital currencies. However, none has performed as well as Digital Yuan returning investors 10-times their money in September alone. "With the official government backing, there is little downside risk and the current market conditions are perfect for investment. Major stock indices are down and many of us are turning towards Digital Yuan to get unprecedented returns. This is our chance to invest early and not miss another bitcoin-like opportunity" \x96 a senior hedge fund trader who wished to stay anonymous commented in an interview. "It\'s really impossible to resist this investment opportunity. It\'s the first country-backed digital currency. China is producing a new billionaire every week with its red-hot markets. It has a lot of capital and liquidity so it\'s not a chance to look over" \x96 says Michael Jewles, a famous day-trader and venture capitalist. Bitcoin has gone from less than 0.002$ to 17,000$ which would make a $100 investment now worth $5M. It\'s easy to see why everyone is eager to get on this opportunity. Additionally, Digital Yuan may provide a solution for Chinese long-standing bad debt problem. The country currently has 2.4 trillion yuan ($341 billion) of officially recognized bad debt due to the illegal yet popular practice of obtaining multiple loans pledging the same collateral. Wide adoption in the Chinese economy of the Digital Yuan would drive its value even higher. Story continues "Using smart contracts provided by the Digital Yuan currency, the government of China will be able to track assets and liabilities and to ensure that multiple loans are not taken over the same collateral", says a senior blockchain researcher J. Rothers. The circulation of the currency is controlled by the state any trading can only be performed via authorized brokers. Many investors have been searching for high-potential stocks after the recent pandemic-related crash and this could prove the opportunity of a lifetime for many. Digital Yuan may not only solve China\'s long-standing problems but allow many middle-class individuals to move up the financial ladder through a secure investment strategy.

I exited the stock market in June (sorry Buffet, although I\'m sure my small contributions did not send shockwaves through the economy), and other than adding a small amount ($100) each week, I don\'t think it\'s the right time to invest that way.\n\nAs I said, no mortgage or appreciable asset to my name. Or kids!\n\nAnd so the rest (let\'s call it $25,000) is in my bank account earning 1%. (Edit: This is only a temporary affair after pulling out of stocks, and deciding where to go next as the world wobbles).\n\nAnyway, that\'s my story, and I\'ve decided I\'m comfortable with 25% (no more) of my savings in crypto - again largely because there\'s no compelling alternatives, and bank interest is very bland.\n\nI wouldn\'t go much higher, but I am fairly comfortable to have moved that amount over in the last two years, and on the whole it\'s appreciated as a store of value by about (napkin maths) 10%.\n\nJust curious on other people\'s thoughts?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ixc9zf/just_for_discussion_what_percentage_of_your_net/', 'ixc9zf', [['u/phyx1u5', 13, '2020-09-22 01:57', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ixc9zf/just_for_discussion_what_percentage_of_your_net/g65wxe1/', "I'm in a similar situation, no debts etc. but I'm putting about 50% into crypto, 25% in savings, and living off the remaining 25%.\n\nmy goal is to get into property should the crypto scene moon to my targets.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.09% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 4.57% slide from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,549.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,377.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,171, Bitcoin rose to a late intraday high $10,597.0. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $10,850, Bitcoin eased back to wrap up the day at sub-$10,550 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Tuesday. Binance Coin and Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 4.02% and by 5.84% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.05%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.90%), Ethereum (+1.15%), and Litecoin (+3.15%) also made solid gains. Chainlink (+0.26%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.26%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.86%) trailed the front runners, however. At the start of the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Monday low $306.69bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $316.17bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.89% before rising to a high 62.04%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.55%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.02% to $10,549.6. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,540.0 before rising to a high $10,555.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum (-0.27%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.03%) struggled early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 1.01% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,508 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,638. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $10,597. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $10,700 before any pullback. Bitcoin would likely come up short of the second major resistance level at $10,728, however. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,508 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,418 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,300 levels and the second major support level at $10,288.

Click to skip ahead and see thetop 3 cryptocurrency exchanges of 2020.\nThe last decade has been a great one for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in general. Aside from witnessing the launch of over three thousand new cryptocurrencies, we have also seen an unprecedented increase in the value of these cryptos.\nThe launch of cryptocurrencies, in general, has led to the development of a plethora of other service apps and companies. One of these service apps is "Cryptocurrency Exchanges". Basically, cryptocurrency exchanges are platforms or third-party applications that allow potential crypto investors to either buy, sell, or trade their cryptocurrencies. This exchange could either be from crypto to crypto or from fiat to crypto.\nPixabay/Public Domain\nWith an increasing number of these crypto exchanges being developed today, most potential crypto investors have had trouble picking out the best exchange to make use of. This is why we have taken it upon ourselves to make a list of some of the best cryptocurrency and Bitcoin exchanges of 2020. Bear in mind that this list has been compiled after extensive research and is based on a number of criteria that include but are definitely not limited to the following;\n• Trading volume\n• The transaction speed\n• The transaction fees charged\n• Number of supported coins\n• Multiple payment methods\nIn our rankings below for the 10 best cryptocurrency exchanges of 2020, each cryptocurrency exchange we listed scores for each criterion and then calculated the total score.

To start this story off I was ordering my boy some lsd off the dark bet, and he had about 50 dollars left over in bitcoin he said get whatever I want with it, so you guys already know I went straight to the benzos. After a long search and contemplating what to get I ended up picking up 40 1mg footballs, where I’m from it’s hard to get legit Xans so 40 footballs is a fucking score for me.\n\nA couple days pass and I get my shit in the mail, so I figured it’s time to try this shot out. My homie came and got his sheet of acid and threw me a couple hits and I tossed him a couple footballs. The next day o was ready to try those bad boys out. I had done a line of meth and I picked up a bottle of 100 proof vodka (first mistake). So i call up my main homie and he pulled up to chill. We bother popped a hit of acid then we smoked some gas that my homie brought. After we smoked a blunt we dosed up on Xanax, at the time I had a decently high tolerance and I was on meth so I decided to go ahead and eat 10mg right off the bat. We chilled for a while and drank some vodka and I pooped a few more footballs. \n\nHere is where my memory gets hazy and the dumbassery starts. We were really mega fucked up and my boy starts talking about hitting a lick on this house. My barred up ass was like fuck it let’s do it. So me and my boy ate the rest of the xans and finished off the bottle, all I remember from here is walking from my apartment to this lick we were trying to hit. I was so fucked up I barely made it to the house, but we finally got there and I was falling over in the yard and shit making a fool out of myself, we didn’t even start trying to get into the crib next thing I know my buddy says “hey there’s a cop car”. I was confused just standing there and my boy took off running, I didn’t move and next thing I know BAM I got fucking layed put by the police. I guess we were so fucked up we didn’t even notice they were watching us. Next thing I remember I’m on the way to jail, the cop driving is there was super chill, he asked if we wanted to smoke a cig before we went to jail ( he was a real ass dude for that one). So we get out the cop car still handcuffed and the cop lights us both a cig up, we’re sitting there smoking and my drunk ass dropped the cig out my mouth like 5 times but the chill ass cop kept picking it up for me.\n\nNext thing I know it’s the next morning and I woke up I a holding cell getting arraigned, I was still kinda fucked up and I was shit talking the judge a lil ( big fuck up) so my bail got set at 50,000 so 5,000 to get out (On my first offense!). So I was in jail for about 5 days until my lawyer was able to get my bail reduced to ror. I’ve been out since COVID started still waiting on the case but fuck it I’ve been wanting to tell the story.

Creating efficient data marketplaces is really the lynchpin of this, according to Ocean founder Trent McConaghy. Thus the collaboration with Balancer.\nRelated:BitGo Is Bringing DeFi-Friendly Wrapped Bitcoin to the Tron Blockchain\n“Many people have tried to build data marketplaces in the past, but have been held back by issues of privacy and control. With blockchain and compute-to-data, Ocean is addressing this,” McConaghy said in an interview. “So our goal is to unlock this data economy with data marketplaces, connecting the buyers and sellers of data. These can be individual humans, families, small companies, large companies, cities, nations, etc.”\nEthereum-based Ocean creates data tokens, which can represent a particular dataset – be it an individual’s DNA or something much larger and more valuable, like all ofDaimler’sself-driving car data. The tokens act as an on-ramp to the data, which is stored elsewhere. The second part of the puzzle is establishing a marketplace where this tokenized data can be discovered, priced and traded using Ocean’s native token (OCEAN) or other cryptos like ether (ETH) or dai (DAI).\nPricing data is hard. Now, with the third version of Ocean, McConaghy has concludedAMMs like Uniswapdo the job best.\nRead more:Mercedes Maker Daimler Tests Blockchain for Supply-Chain Data Sharing\nRelated:Uniswap Users Have Claimed $560M-Worth of UNI Tokens in a Week\nUnlike an auction-based approach, AMMs continue to price throughout the asset’s lifetime. And unlike order books, they don’t need a lot of upfront liquidity and a double coincidence of wants. As such, AMMs – which have been instrumental in DeFi’s$13 billionascent – can be thought of as robots that are always ready to buy or sell.\nThe Balancer poolfunctions as a “self-balancing weighted portfolio and price sensor,” which means it behaves like an index fund – if a given asset out- or under-performs, it is respectively sold or bought to keep its value share of the total portfolio constant. But this is done in a decentralized manner without human intervention.\nThis is basically what DeFi application Uniswap does, but Balancer has the added advantage of allowing non-equal weights among tokens in the pool (e.g. 90/10 vs. 50/50). That means someone with lots of data tokens can offer these without having to tie-up a great deal of Ocean tokens or other cryptos.\nMcConaghy pointed to a trend where people are launching things on AMMs, and in the case of an Ocean data-token pool he has coined the term “initial data offering” or IDO.\n“Our community has been really loving this term and using it a lot internally,” McConaghy said, adding:\n“Basically it’s an example of liquidity mining for the people. Right now when people want to do liquidity mining on Balancer or other tools, they need to have assets. This works well for the whales, and it works even for some medium-sized folks, but the small guys are completely priced out because of gas prices. But we all have assets, as in our data assets; I have location data or whatever, and I’m going to start putting it up there and see what happens as the price gets automatically discovered.”\nRead more:Following COMP’s Surge, DeFi Platform Balancer Begins Distribution of BAL Tokens\nOn the subject of the high gas costs associated with deploying pools on Balancer, the Ocean partnership has led to a useful tweak of Balancer pool contracts to use theERC-1167proxy pattern to reduce those costs.\n“The idea of having millions of different tokens and pools wasn’t viable with today’s gas prices on Ethereum, so it’s very nice the way we have extended Balancer to make it cheap for the creation of new data pools,” said Balancer Labs CEO Fernando Martinelli, adding:\n“It doesn’t cost a lot for someone to just put up their location data or their DNA data. It’s great because it’s shown us the need to create more efficient markets – something that’s going to be addressed in our version two.”\n• Ocean Protocol and Balancer Want to Do for Data What Uniswap Did for Coins\n• Ocean Protocol and Balancer Want to Do for Data What Uniswap Did for Coins', 'Some tricks of the trade employed by today\x92s booming decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms are being used for a completely new paradigm: decentralized data marketplaces.

This was smack in the middle of the target range of $0.80 to $1.00 per token. • After offering expenses and fees to advisory firm A-Labs, the sale would net up to $111 million, according to INX’s latestfilingwith the SEC. The net proceeds would be used to: • Build INX Trading Solutions, a regulated exchange for cryptocurrencies, security tokens and derivatives. • Build a cash fund to protect the company and its customers in the event of a data breach, trading execution error or counterparty default. The instruments on offer are a hybrid of utility and security tokens. • Investors could use them to pay trading fees on INX’s platform. • The tokens would also entitle holders to a share of company profits. Related:Uber's Former Security Chief Charged With Trying to Conceal Hack Using Bitcoin INX’s sale would mark a milestone for the blockchain industry. • It would be the first security token offering (STO) registered with the SEC, and thus legally marketable to mom-and-pop investors. • Previous STOs were unregistered and limited to wealthy investors, with the issuers simply filing notices to the regulator; the initial coin offerings (ICO) of the 2017-2018 boom were conducted with little if any regard for compliance. • INX’s sale would also be one of very few IPOs in the blockchain industry and almost certainly the largest. It’s been a long road for the company, whose U.S. operations are led by Executive Managing Director Alan Silbert. (His brother Barry is the CEO of Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk.) • INX first signaled its intent to go public with adraft registration statementsubmitted in January 2018. • The company filed its F-1 prospectus (the SEC’s form for foreign issuers)almost exactly a year ago. • To comply with know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, INX has written a smart contract that allows only wallet addresses belonging to investors that have been vetted and put on a “whitelist” to receive the tokens. • TokenSoft, a registration agent that specializes in blockchain token offerings, is doing the KYC checks and maintaining the registry of investors. • Last month, INX hired Paz Diamant as its chief technology officer, regulatory filings show. Diamant is the former managing director of R&D and product at eToro, where he built the brokerage’s crypto trading system, according to hisLinkedIn profile.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 4.75% on Thursday. Reversing a 2.72% fall from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,754. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,222.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,092, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,842.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,495 and the second major resistance level at $10,726. In spite of a bearish end to the day, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the second major resistance level. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Thursday. Chainlink led the way, surging by 29.25%. Binance Coin (+7.75%), Cardano’s ADA (+7.98%), and Ethereum (+8.89%) also saw solid gains. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+4.10%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.08%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.07%), Litecoin (+4.66%), Polkadot (+4.16%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.23%) saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $300.97bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $320.94bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.89% before rising to a Wednesday high 62.31%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.68%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.21% to $10,731.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,774.0 before falling to a low $10,708.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.40%), Cardano’s ADA (+3.12%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.05%), and Chainlink (+0.38%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 1.50% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,606 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,990. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $10,842.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at $11,226 would likely cap any upside, however. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,606 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,370 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $9,986.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,092, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,842.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,495 and the second major resistance level at $10,726. In spite of a bearish end to the day, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the second major resistance level. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Thursday. Chainlink led the way, surging by 29.25%. Binance Coin (+7.75%), Cardano’s ADA (+7.98%), and Ethereum (+8.89%) also saw solid gains. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+4.10%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.08%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.07%), Litecoin (+4.66%), Polkadot (+4.16%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.23%) saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $300.97bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $320.94bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.89% before rising to a Wednesday high 62.31%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.68%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.21% to $10,731.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,774.0 before falling to a low $10,708.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.40%), Cardano’s ADA (+3.12%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.05%), and Chainlink (+0.38%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 1.50% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,606 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,990. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $10,842.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at $11,226 would likely cap any upside, however. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,606 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,370 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $9,986.

LOUIS (AP) A British man who was part of a hacking collective called The Dark Overlord was sentenced Monday to five years in prison for helping the group steal information from several companies in the U.S., including Missouri, Illinois and Georgia. Nathan Francis Wyatt, 39, was sentenced after he pleaded guilty in federal court in St. Louis to conspiring to commit aggravated identity theft and computer fraud. He was also ordered to pay about $1.5 million in restitution. Federal prosecutors said The Dark Overlord stole medical records, client files and personal information from the companies, then demanded between $75,000 and $300,000 worth of Bitcoin to return the information. None of the companies paid the ransom but the conspiracy did cost them because of the intrusion and release of data, federal prosecutor Laura Kathleen Bernstein said. Wyatt set up a phone account and accounts on Twitter and PayPal that were used to communicate and receive money, she said. Wyatt apologized during the hearing, held via Zoom, saying that he was on medication for mental problems that led him to make bad decisions, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported . I can promise you that Im out of that world, he said, voice breaking. I dont want to see another computer for the rest of my life. His lawyer, Brocca Morrison, noted that Wyatt did not orchestrate the hacks and is the only hacker who has been identified. Bernstein said Wyatts actions helped the other hackers remain anonymous and that his phone account was used to send threatening text messages to relatives of victims. Wyatt was indicted in 2017, but he was not extradited to the U.S. until last year after British lawyers fought to keep him in that country. He had served 14 months in a British prison after pleading guilty to 22 charges after he was accused of demanding money from the owner of a hacked computer and using stolen credit cards.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/mermaiddiva26', 'Need help deciding what to do with a windfall', 74, '2020-09-25 00:50', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/PFJerk/comments/iz7q1o/need_help_deciding_what_to_do_with_a_windfall/', "So the bottom line is I found an old bitcoin wallet from 7 years that I forgot about and it has ~500 bitcoin on it.

According to PayPal, the penetration of e-commerce as a percentage of retail sales in the first half of 2020 outpaced prior external forecast by 3 to 5 years. Both consumers and merchants are increasingly adopting digital payments as contactless transactions have become increasingly important amid the current crisis.\n\nThe rapid penetration of digital payments led to double-digital revenue growth in the second quarter for PayPal and Square. Using the TipRanks Stock Comparison tool, we will place these two fintech payment firms alongside each other to assess which stock offers a more compelling investment opportunity.\n\nPayPal Holdings (PYPL)\n\nPayPal, which was spun off from eBay in 2015, has emerged as the digital payment leader. In the second quarter, PayPal added 21.3 million net new active accounts, reflecting a 137% Y/Y rise and marking the strongest growth in the company’s history thanks to a surge in e-commerce and digital payments. As of the end of 2Q, PayPal had 346 million active accounts with over 26 million merchant accounts.\n\nThe company’s 2Q revenue surged 22.2% Y/Y to $5.26 billion. And adjusted EPS rose 49% to $1.07 as the adjusted operating margin expanded 504 basis points to 28.2%. Total Payment Volume or TPV, which indicates payments processed through the PayPal platform, grew about 29% to $222 billion. Venmo, Paypal’s mobile payments platform, witnessed a 52% growth in its TPV to $37 billion.\n\nFollowing the strong 2Q momentum, PayPal reinstated its 2020 guidance and in fact, raised it. The company expects revenue growth of 20% and adjusted EPS growth of about 25%. It anticipates adding 70 million net new active accounts this year.\n\nTo boost its top-line further and promote touchless payments, PayPal launched QR Code technology in 28 markets globally in May. CVS Pharmacy will be the first retail chain to offer its customers the option to use PayPal and Venmo QR codes at checkout in its US stores. The company will also launch Venmo credit card this year.\n\nPayPal has also expanded its Visa Direct partnership globally to accelerate real-time access to funds for small businesses, consumers and partners across its platform. This collaboration enables PayPal to extend global white label Visa Direct payout services through PayPal and its Braintree, Hyperwallet and iZettle platforms.\n\nOn Sept. 22, Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev reiterated a Buy rating for PayPal with a price target of $285 as the Mizuho E-Commerce Tracker showed that unique views across key PayPal partner sites (like Etsy, Groupon and Wayfair) remained strong in July and August and also pointed to potential signs of life in the beleaguered travel category.\n\nThe Tracker also indicated that PayPal’s unique views continued to grow ahead of partner websites in the last two months, reflecting persistent share gains for the checkout button. Overall, the analyst expects strong July and August e-commerce trends coupled with share gains to bode well for the company’s second-half TPV. (See PYPL stock analysis on TipRanks)\n\nPayPal stock has rallied about 74% year-to-date and could rise further by 17% in the coming months as indicated by the average analyst price target of $219.77. The stock scores a Strong Buy consensus based on 28 Buys, 5 Holds and no Sell ratings.\n\nSquare (SQ)\n\nPayment facilitator Square is growing rapidly as consumers and businesses are migrating online at a faster pace amid the pandemic. From February through August 2020, there was a 13.2 percentage point increase in the share of Square sellers accepting online payments and by August, over 40% of all Square sellers were accepting online payments. Also, by August, more than 7 in 10 Square sellers were accepting contactless payments.\n\nThe company’s Cash App ecosystem delivered $1.2 billion in revenue in the second quarter, reflecting a whopping 361% Y/Y growth.

Actors for Somee discussing.\n1. Protecting Data & Content; using Blockchain & Crypto technology, SoMee allows users to post securely without worry of sold information.\n2. Gamified and Monetizable; SoMee provides the ability to receive rewards for your actions.\n3. Global scale; a platform designed to connect and support humanity through "Social for a Cause."\nSoMee is generating a lot of interest in the crypto and social worlds. Why? Because it\'s combining the latest groundbreaking blockchain technology with the most popular way people interact in the modern age; social media.\nJane King sits down (virtually) with actors Peter Ivanov, Bejo Dohmen, and Nick Dong-Sik who are avid users of this novel platform to gather their perspectives.\nPeter Ivanovhas been featured in ABC\'s episodic TV series "In An Instant" and recently completed filming an independent feature.\nBejo Dohmenis known for several TV shows in Germany such as his latest upcoming pilot "Ready to Rumble" and has also won several awards through the 2020 Academy Award-qualifying, best live-action short film "Kommando 1944."\nNick Dong-Sikis known for "Charlie\'s Angels", "Iron Sky", "Within the Whirlwind", and Netflix\'s "Marco Polo", while working alongside A-list actors and is currently working on the German TV series "Helen Dorn".\nDiscussing everything from how SoMee functions to how the platform may serve artists, Peter, Bejo, and Nick provide their two cents. Here\'s what we\'ve found out:\nSoMee is a blockchain-based, social media platform aimed at evolving the social media community. With a focus on security and monetization, SoMee offers something other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram can\'t; control. Users are now provided with an outlet for their content and data which protects and respects each user\'s right to control their information and posts, without worry of having information sold.\nNot only that, but the users now also have the option to monetize effectively. How? Through community interaction. Currently, users are posting on other platforms and receiving "likes" and "shares", but that\'s it. Unless you reach "influencer" or "celebrity" status on these platforms and somehow strike a deal with various brands or entities, all you receive is attention in the form of "likes" and "shares." Even if your post goes viral, you may reach a ton of viewers, but still, nothing may come of it.\nThis is where SoMee comes in. Now, users have the ability to monetize those likes directly, and you don\'t have to be an "influencer" or "celebrity." If you come up with something cool, creative, or viral, and people take notice, boom; rewarded.\nIn the interview, Bejo Dohmen also comments on the potential of this system by mentioning that artists could even have a chance to introduce an idea and gain funding through community support. He loves the idea that SoMee allows him to help people with a simple "upvote" which could potentially change someone\'s life.\nAnother important point was made by Peter Ivanov when he mentions "Social for a Cause"; SoMee\'s growing, philanthropic effort to bring the world together by increasing the awareness and assistance of those struggling and in need all around the globe.\nSoMee operates on a global scale, so users from around the world have the opportunity to interact with each other. Not only does it connect everyone, but it also provides an opportunity to help users who may be located in fallen economies, war-torn locations, or third-world areas.\nNick Dong-Sik likes to compare SoMee\'s ONG1 to Bitcoin, stating that he remembers when Bitcoin began, but never seized the opportunity, feeling like he "missed out," but now he\'s happy to be onboard with SoMee from the beginning.\nSoMee is dedicated to taking the social media space to the next level by providing monetization, control, and global community interaction like we\'ve never seen before. The actors all agree that SoMee is the next big thing and is full of potential.\nNow is the chance to join the community which could change your life and the lives of anyone anywhere anytime.

Especially ones from EU", 27, '2020-09-26 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Swipe_io/comments/izthtx/who_also_got_a_feeling_after_todays_ama_that/', "This answer during today's AMA got me thinking:\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/djogg3cm7dp51.jpg?width=829&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00fc5fb701e282339f648eee1a485d8fad3990e5\n\nCorrect me if I am wrong, SXP tokens play the role of gas for paying the network fees. Network fees occur when conversions happen. If Joselito was to introduce fiat wallets as source of funds for the cards, then buying a 3 euro cup of coffee would deduct 3 euros from the fiat wallet, therefore no fees would be generated (same currency, fiat to fiat) and SXP token would be left redundant. If any crypto was used as source of funds, then a conversion would happen , therefore some (hopefully small) fees would occur.\n\nI guess this is the reason why JL doesn't want to introduce fiat wallets. Again, correct me if I am wrong.\n\nBut to me (who has a Steel tier card) that means that I will not be able to comfortably use the card. I am based in EU and EU seems to be Swipe's most active market according to the description on their website:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/6ra0v0hk7dp51.jpg?width=885&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f9959353b14729175fa13fcffd52bef7891ac22\n\nIf to summarize, I have two problems with this:\n\n* crypto is not at the point right now where users could comfortably use it as mean of payment for everyday goods, it's highly volatile. Few die-hard fans would definitely use it and buy coffee with BTC, but good luck to them filing tax forms at the end of the tax year. The masses would avoid it due to volatility and tax concerns;\n* the argument that the stablecoins (which are still considered regular crypto and still have to be filled in tax forms - at least in Germany) does not help much the users from EU since there are no Euro-pegged stablecoins out there except the obscure and nothing but stable Stasis Euro.In the ideal world I want to deposit part of my Euro paycheck to Swipe card and use it for paying for groceries without worrying about the current USD / EUR exchange rate, which fluctuates easily by 5% within a month. The point of having 4% BTC cashback is undermined by potential losses from currency conversion and exchange rate fluctuations.\n\nAnd now one more of Joselito's answers which left me even more sad:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/1algdqmgadp51.jpg?width=849&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c433ad73f64a8c87d323751eb4385bf9ea973ed7\n\nHe says SXP is much more useful for on-chain staking. Of couse it is now so, since for the locked tokens which I can't access (therefore can't trade them and speculate on tokens' price like 90% of Swipe's Telegram group does) I would earn 6 to 12% interest (I am still unable to understand who gets 6 and who gets 12), while the flexible withdraw-any-time on-chain stakers receive over 20%.\n\nAnd it seems even quite weird how Joselito highlighted this fact in his answer, as if he intentionally wanted to discourage users from ordering cards and use the idle tokens for staking on-chain instead. Why can't Swipe use cardholders' frozen deposits for staking on-chain and pay them same interest to them (or better higher due to the inability to withdraw the stake at any moment) is also a mystery to me.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSo my very long question/suggestion at the very end of the AMA thread (where I asked Joselito not to lose focus on loyal cardholders - seriously, we voluntarily locked significant funds for half a year at least!) was left unanswered. However I think the two answers above provide all the necessary information... :(I think I mentioned pretty obvious problems with the card product that not only I should see.\n\nAgain, please correct me if I am wrong.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Swipe_io/comments/izthtx/who_also_got_a_feeling_after_todays_ama_that/', 'izthtx', [['u/JoselitoLizarondo', 11, '2020-09-26 20:09', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Swipe_io/comments/izthtx/who_also_got_a_feeling_after_todays_ama_that/g6pdz2s/', 'Just one quick point.

After this migration occurs, Swipe Cards can be ordered directly on Binance.com. *There will be a strong promo for this when his switch happens in the next 30–60 days for Swipe users.*\n\nLoyal Swipe cardholders whom staked SXP will be in for a nice treat within that time period.

I came across this blog post called [How China can kill bitcoin](http://galgitron.net/Post/How-China-Can-Kill-Bitcoin) and thought that the author does have quite a good point (despite the tone of the blog post). He argued that the top 4 Chinese mining pools alone represent more than 51% of the hashrate and if the Chinese government are to forcibly commandeer these top 4 mining pools (without having to buy new mining equipment) then they can easily orchestrate the 51% attack within an hour and a double-spend would have been successful. \n\n\nA few questions:\n\n1. If this all is true, wouldn't you say that China is quite a big threat to the existence of bitcoin? Isn't this something we should be more worried about? (it seems that most of bitcoin community just assumed that no one will attempt the 51% attack and it has been debunked many times). I don't know what could be the incentives for China to do this (cracking down money laundering?) but does the fact that they could do this if they want to concern you?\n2. Will bitcoin mining be more decentralized (esp away from China) in the future? It seems that miners should go wherever there is cheap electricity, why haven't more countries jumped in?\n3. Can anyone comment about [Stratum V2](https://www.stratumprotocol.org/#binary)? Will it help address the problem by giving the control to miners o select their own transaction sets? When will it be ready?", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/izujwv/china_is_a_threat_to_bitcoin/', 'izujwv', [['u/bitusher', 29, '2020-09-26 01:53', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/izujwv/china_is_a_threat_to_bitcoin/g6l689i/', ">Will bitcoin mining be more decentralized (esp away from China) in the future?\n\nMoores cliff means old ASICs do not become obsolete as quickly. ASICs are already down to 5nm , to put things in perspective Intels most expensive retail chips are still at 14nm , there really isn't that much more room for BTC ASICs to shrink which means decentralization of mining . There are also many fundamental misunderstandings people have towards the advantageous and disadvantageous in industrial mining.\n\nA few things you need to understand about mining -\n\nChipmakers like TSMC and Samsung as 2 examples are the ones that are commissioned to make most ASIC chips(not the full assembled ASIC miner) based upon designs from Bitcoin ASIC manufactures. These foundries are involved in diverse chip making and obviously aren't directly involved in Bitcoin or its politics but fulfilling large orders from whoever commissions them.\n\nThe most popular ASIC manufacturers for Bitcoin right now are Whatsminer, Innosilicon, Bitmain, Caanan, Ebit, and Ebang. Many more ASIC manufacturers exist but they come and go based upon merit in a highly competitive race. For example Bitfury used to be one of the best manufacturers , and now has very little market share. Bitmain used to dominate , and than made some poor design decisions (lead engineer left them) and now competes with at least 4 others for the most efficient ASICs. This is a highly competitive and changing ecosystem.\n\nLarge miners main advantage is economies of scale over smaller miners. If you are an ASIC manufacturer you have large advantage over others because you can premine off your newest hardware and sell you last generation ASICs to others. This does occur , but is simplistic view and not the full picture. The reality is ASIC manufacturers Sell their newest ASICs with partners for industrial mining , sell their latest hardware to smaller miners for a premium, and mine themselves, while at the same time selling older ASICs on the market. Why do they do this? Because ASIC manufacturing is highly competitive and they need to hedge their investments as quickly as possible and de-risk from regulatory concerns as well.\n\nAmateur mining doesn't come with many risks of manufacturers who come and go (they are forced to make huge investments in ASIC orders and have long development pipelines fraught with risks)\n\nAmateur mining does not have the overhead of employees , security, regulatory compliance, building costs, tax liabilities , etc...\n\nNow here is what is interesting, this last generation of ASICs that went from 7nm to 5nm in size did not have the same efficiency jumps as previous drops. This is because 5nm is already at the edge of what can be done with silicone, we can possibly shrink down to 2-3nm but it gets extremely difficult as the gates start to get the size of a few atoms wide and quantum concerns and heat become a very big concern.\n\nWhy is any of this important?\n\nIn the past when ASICs wen...

Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,675.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,601, Bitcoin rallied to a mid-morning intraday high $10,841.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,795 before falling back to sub-$10,700 levels and into the red. Finding late support, Bitcoin struck a late afternoon high $10,795.0 before easing back. The first major resistance level at $10,795 pinned Bitcoin back late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Binance Coin and Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 6.07% and by 5.32% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.55%), Ethereum (+0.57%), and Litecoin (+0.07%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA (-1.67%), Chainlink (-3.83%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.06%), Polkadot (-2.35%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.06%) struggled. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $300.97bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $324.93bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 62.31% before falling to a Saturday low 60.81%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.09%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.02% to $10,752.0. A range-bound start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,748.1 before rising to a high $10,754.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (-0.41%), Ethereum (-0.01%), Litecoin (-0.09%), and Polkadot (-0.25%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a relatively bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 0.56% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $10,755 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,836. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,800 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $10,841 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $10,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at $10,921 would likely cap any upside, however. Failure to move through the $10,755 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,670 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level at $10,589 should limit any downside.

"On Mettalex, traders will be able to create tokenized spread contracts for some of the most in-demand commodities on the market with USD/BTC/ETH pairs. At launch, we will support spreads on traditional and digital commodities like compute cycle price, gas costs, cloud compute and more traditional commodities like steel and iron ore, gold and silver, lithium and cobalt, oil, and the stock market index." Somee.social (ONG) will be appearing in their 4th interview. Actors for Somee discussing. 1. Protecting Data & Content; using Blockchain & Crypto technology, SoMee allows users to post securely without worry of sold information. 2. Gamified and Monetizable; SoMee provides the ability to receive rewards for your actions. 3. Global scale; a platform designed to connect and support humanity through "Social for a Cause." SoMee is generating a lot of interest in the crypto and social worlds. Why? Because it's combining the latest groundbreaking blockchain technology with the most popular way people interact in the modern age; social media. Jane King sits down (virtually) with actors Peter Ivanov, Bejo Dohmen, and Nick Dong-Sik who are avid users of this novel platform to gather their perspectives. Peter Ivanovhas been featured in ABC's episodic TV series "In An Instant" and recently completed filming an independent feature. Bejo Dohmenis known for several TV shows in Germany such as his latest upcoming pilot "Ready to Rumble" and has also won several awards through the 2020 Academy Award-qualifying, best live-action short film "Kommando 1944." Nick Dong-Sikis known for "Charlie's Angels", "Iron Sky", "Within the Whirlwind", and Netflix's "Marco Polo", while working alongside A-list actors and is currently working on the German TV series "Helen Dorn". Discussing everything from how SoMee functions to how the platform may serve artists, Peter, Bejo, and Nick provide their two cents. Here's what we've found out: SoMee is a blockchain-based, social media platform aimed at evolving the social media community. With a focus on security and monetization, SoMee offers something other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram can't; control. Users are now provided with an outlet for their content and data which protects and respects each user's right to control their information and posts, without worry of having information sold. Not only that, but the users now also have the option to monetize effectively. How? Through community interaction. Currently, users are posting on other platforms and receiving "likes" and "shares", but that's it. Unless you reach "influencer" or "celebrity" status on these platforms and somehow strike a deal with various brands or entities, all you receive is attention in the form of "likes" and "shares." Even if your post goes viral, you may reach a ton of viewers, but still, nothing may come of it. This is where SoMee comes in. Now, users have the ability to monetize those likes directly, and you don't have to be an "influencer" or "celebrity." If you come up with something cool, creative, or viral, and people take notice, boom; rewarded. In the interview, Bejo Dohmen also comments on the potential of this system by mentioning that artists could even have a chance to introduce an idea and gain funding through community support. He loves the idea that SoMee allows him to help people with a simple "upvote" which could potentially change someone's life. Another important point was made by Peter Ivanov when he mentions "Social for a Cause"; SoMee's growing, philanthropic effort to bring the world together by increasing the awareness and assistance of those struggling and in need all around the globe. SoMee operates on a global scale, so users from around the world have the opportunity to interact with each other. Not only does it connect everyone, but it also provides an opportunity to help users who may be located in fallen economies, war-torn locations, or third-world areas. Nick Dong-Sik likes to compare SoMee's ONG1 to Bitcoin, stating that he remembers when Bitcoin began, but never seized the opportunity, feeling like he "missed out," but now he's happy to be onboard with SoMee from the beginning. SoMee is dedicated to taking the social media space to the next level by providing monetization, control, and global community interaction like we've never seen before. The actors all agree that SoMee is the next big thing and is full of potential. Now is the chance to join the community which could change your life and the lives of anyone anywhere anytime.

BitUniverse, a startup that counts China’s Shunwei Capital and ZhenFund among its backers, has a monthly trading volume of around $5 billion on its online brokerage platform, according to Beijing-based founder Chen Yong. And more than 80% of its 100,000-some users run a grid trading algorithm every day, which automates buy and sell orders at certain regular intervals to capitalize on normal price volatility, Chen said. The cryptocurrency boom of recent years has given birth to major exchange operators like Binance and Huobi -- but brokerage services, which play a major role in traditional financial markets, aren’t much of a presence in the arena. BitUniverse is among a new wave of startups hoping to become a one-stop platform for regular people to trade crypto like Bitcoin and Ether, providing them with the liquidity from a multitude of exchanges. Its algorithms help users place orders 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- which some exchanges offer but is more rare from brokerages. “Trading bots let users overcome their humanity flaws and become a rational investor,” Chen said in a video interview. That doesn’t mean they will be guaranteed to make money, he adds, but they will “at least lose less.” Chen, who co-founded utility app provider Cheetah Mobile Inc., started his crypto venture at the end of 2017. BitUniverse’s Pionex brokerage service launched a year ago and has already become a major cash cow for the firm. BitUniverse, which is incorporated in Singapore, now makes roughly $3 million a month by charging a fee of 0.05% per transaction to traders in places from China to Europe and the U.S, Chen said. About 80% of Pionex’s trades are fulfilled by the order books on Binance and Huobi, he said. In 2018, BitUniverse raised close to $10 million from prominent Chinese venture capital firms Shunwei, ZhenFund and Gaorong Capital at a $50 million valuation, according to the company. Chen runs a team of around 80 people, most of whom are developers hailing from Chinese tech firms including Cheetah, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Baidu Inc., he said.

The joke, for which I owe a hat tip to Nathaniel Whittemore’s podcast interview with Selgin on The Breakdown , seems especially relevant right now. Demands for COVID-19 fiscal stimulus are driving an increasing number of liberals to embrace MMT’s no-limits position on government spending while hard-money conservatives, disdainful of government expansion, are pouring money into gold as a hedge against runaway inflation and general monetary breakdown. As both extremes garner all the attention, it’s difficult for nuanced, middle-ground voices to be heard. But that middle position is exactly where I’m going with this column, inspired by having just read “ The Deficit Myth ,” the influential new book by MMT’s most prominent advocate, Stephanie Kelton. Related: APIs Will Decentralize CBDCs You’re reading Money Reimagined , a weekly look at the technological, economic and social events and trends that are redefining our relationship with money and transforming the global financial system. You can subscribe to this and all of CoinDesk’s newsletters here . Some of my words might attract scorn from the bitcoin community’s “digital gold bugs,” who tend to view MMT’s suggestion that governments ignore deficits and manage spending by printing money as crazy talk. Unlike them, I think MMT’s take on the relationship between government and money is essentially accurate and that it’s a useful point of understanding in our ongoing debates over how best to deliver economic stimulus in the COVID-19 era. But I’m also going to say that, within the current analog financial system, MMT’s policy prescriptions would be a recipe for disaster. Without the discipline of fiscal responsibility, especially without the political accountability of having to fund spending with unpopular taxes, what’s to stop sovereign money issuers from doing what they’ve done through history and debasing their currency? Story continues As per the arguments in last week’s newsletter about Argentina , the very act of removing fiscal constraints would undermine the thing that matters most for a currency to function: trust. Related: Enterprises Would Use DeFi, if It Weren't so Public The bigger question, then, is what can be done to enhance trust so that unencumbered government spending can be appropriately deployed to encourage sustainable economic prosperity for all citizens. How might cryptocurrency and blockchain tools help? Uncle Sam can’t go bankrupt Kelton and her colleagues get some things right. To start with, they convincingly demonstrate the budget of a sovereign, currency-issuing government is incomparable to that of, say, a household or a company. There is no way for a government to go bankrupt, not in the literal, legal sense. And if its debts are owed in its own currency, there is no reason to expect they won’t be repaid, at least in nominal terms. That basic but important insight exposes the common misconception that governments are constrained by a fixed pool of resources that can only be increased through taxation or borrowing. MMTers say the unique sovereign power of currency issuance renders the idea of nominal funding limits false. Thus, they show the harm done by rigid rules such as balanced-budget requirements and debt ceilings. Kelton argues this misconception stems from traditional economics, which frames the sequencing of government fiscal activity backwards. Taxation is not a mechanism for raising funds for future expenditures but a way for a government to compel people to use the currency that its spending initially brought into existence. Taxation assigns utility, and therefore value, to the currency, she argues. Using the acronyms “TAB(S)” and “S(TAB),” Kelton argues the sequencing is not “taxing and borrowing precede spending” but “spending before taxing and borrowing.” No longer conceived as fundraising tools, taxation and debt issuance should instead be viewed as policy levers for managing income distribution, influencing borrowing rates in credit markets and moderating the overall flow of money in the economy. The third of those goals is critical, MMTers say, because governments must respect the “inflation constraint,” the one thing they view as a real, tangible limit on government expenditure. Far from approaching inflation with reckless abandon, MMTers are obsessive about it. They insist governments be singularly focused on preventing a destructive acceleration in prices from undermining a currency’s store of value and hurting savers at the expense of borrowers. Fine in theory but in practice? So much for theory. The core problem with MMT, as I see it, is that all state agencies, not just central banks, now have to be trusted to fight the inflation bogey. They must measure it, predict it and preemptively stop it. That’s easier said than done. More important, they have to be properly incentivized to do so. Because governments are currently sitting on a mountain of rising debt (see the Global Town Hall below), they’re incentivized to encourage inflation, not fight it. Because debt payments are fixed in nominal terms while incomes and tax revenue vary with changing prices, inflation inherently helps the borrower (in this case the government) and hurts the lender (bondholders). Having inflation as the only constraint exacerbates a principal-agent misalignment. It’s bad enough that government leaders and lawmakers already inoculate themselves from political pressure through gerrymandering and other forms of voter disenfranchisement. Now, without the duty to raise taxes to pay for their spending and with the opportunity to inflate away their debt obligations, it’s easy to imagine a further dereliction of their public duty. All that’s needed for inflation to set in is the wrong message. If people believe their government is going to become profligate, their inflation expectations will get baked into preemptive price rises, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. The issue, again, comes down to trust. It may well be a myth, per Kelton, that “taxing and borrowing precedes spending.” But that story serves a purpose if it helps people retain trust in their government. After all, as the historian Yuval Harari explains , it’s our capacity to tell stories and organize ourselves around them – not the veracity of those stories per se – that allowed homo sapiens to build civilization and take over the world. An alternative This risk of trust failure means an MMT approach is not viable within our current system of government. It would invite the kinds of monetary problems suffered by Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Argentina and Turkey into relatively stable economies such as the U.S. But what about in an era of central bank digital currencies? Perhaps CBDCs could offer more transparency and accountability to MMT-guided policymakers, allowing them greater expenditure leeway within the bounds of the inflation constraint. The rich data generated by a digital monetary system could help officials better estimate money supply, demand and, importantly, velocity (the rate of exchange) – all factors that contribute to inflation but are traditionally hard to measure. Further, blockchain-based smart contracts could be instituted to automate monetary policy adjustments according to changes in these data inputs. Of course, those automated systems could be overridden by the central bank, most easily if the CBDC is based on a closed, single-authority model. But if the systems are audited by a third party, perhaps by the International Monetary Fund, central banks and the government institutions they answer to would face a difficult political backlash if they were shown to be abandoning the model. In return for the policymaking freedom that MMT affords them, bolder governments might even adopt permissioned or even permissionless blockchains to lock in these contractual systems and demonstrate their commitment to protecting the value of their currency. So, you see, interesting ideas can still flourish in the middle path between the extremes. Bitcoin’s luster grows By Galen Moore, CoinDesk senior research analyst Bitcoin has never looked more like “digital gold” than it does now. Consider: Despite the popularity of the “gold 2.0” narrative, for most of its recent life bitcoin has shown a negative correlation with the price of the yellow metal. If that surprises you, it shouldn’t. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset, a venture bet on a future technology that most people in the world have never used. Unlike most such investments, bitcoin is fairly liquid. It makes sense that in times of crisis, it’s one of the first things sold to raise cash. That’s what happened in March, apparently, and bitcoin’s safe-haven narrative took a hit . Following March 12, bitcoin started to show a stronger correlation to gold. It also moved in tandem with U.S. stocks. “In a crisis, all correlations go to one.” (If you’re sick of hearing that line repeated, you’re not alone.) Look what’s happened in the past two months. Bitcoin’s positive correlation to gold is stronger and more consistent than it has ever been, at any time in the past. And its correlation to the S&P 500 is falling back into non-correlated territory. It’s one thing to say bitcoin has potential as an inflation hedge. It’s another to be actually looking hard for the inflation hedge with the highest potential earnings out there. Notably, this week, as overbought gold saw a correction, bitcoin held strong. The rest of Q3 will either jumble bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative again, or will solidify bitcoin (market cap $216 billion) as a contender against gold, an asset that has a valuation in the trillions.

Today's Key News: ['PepsiCo Inc’s third quarter is expected to be a positive catalyst for the stock with an expected organic topline and EPS beat, according to Morgan Stanley equity analyst Dara Mohsenian, who also forecasts Q3 EPS of $1.50 and 2.4% y-o-y growth in organic sales. The U.S. multinational food, snack and beverage corporation, PepsiCo is set to report third-quarter 2020 results on Thursday, October 1 , before market open. “We continue to like Pepsi longer-term with a pronounced mix shift to the more attractive snacks business over the last few years with strong underlying fundamentals (even ex- COVID ) now at more than two-thirds of corporate profit, with both robust, sustained snacks category growth, as well as PEP’s strong competitive positioning and share gains within snacks. We also see PepsiCo’s (PEP) growth outlook and underlying EPS quality as higher with greater reinvestment under a new CEO,” Morgan Stanley’s Dara Mohsenian said. “Last, we believe PepsiCo’s valuation remains compelling, with PepsiCo trading one standard deviation below its 5-year NTM relative P/E average vs mega-cap peers and only at a 3% EV/EBITDA premium to food peers, despite much higher LT revenue growth potential (4% at PEP LT vs 2% at food peers), as well as higher margins/ROIC (see PEP Valuation Looks Compelling section below for more detail).” Morgan Stanley forecast PEP organic sales growth to be driven by its snacks business, and a topline recovery in emerging markets, as well as a sequential improvement in on-premise beverages. In North America, they forecast a solid +6.5% organic sales growth at Frito-Lay North America (FLNA); +7.2% growth at Quaker Foods North America (QFNA); -1.0% decline at Pepsi Beverages North America (PBNA). For the international business, the investment bank forecast +8.6% y-o-y organic sales growth in APAC on China recovering, +2.5% in Europe with on-premise improving and favourable summer weather, +1.5% in Latin America, and -2.3% in AMESA (Africa, Middle East, South Asia) on a slower recovery, particularly in India. Story continues PepsiCo stock closed 3.30% higher at $137.97 on Monday. The stock is up about 1% so far this year. Several other equity analysts have also updated their stock outlook. Jefferies raised their target price to $139 from $137; JP Morgan lowered their stock price forecast to $149 from $154; UBS raised the price target to $140 from $136; Deutsche bank upped their price objective to $140 from $139 and \xa0Guggenheim raised their target price to $151 from $148. Eleven analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $144.64 with a high forecast of $155.00 and a low forecast of $130.00. The average price target represents a 4.83% increase from the last price of $137.97. From those 11 equity analysts, six rated ‘Buy’, five rated ‘Hold’ and none rated ‘Sell’, according to Tipranks. “PepsiCo is our top beverage pick. We forecast Pepsi will post superior topline growth relative to peers driven by exposure to the higher growth/higher margin snacks category (2/3 of PEP’s profit). Snacks is a higher growth category given: (1) shift to snacking vs. sit-down meals; (2) less pressure from health/wellness vs. beverages, and (3) PEP’s leading share in snacks vs. fragmented competition, driving share gains, and higher margins/ROIC,” Morgan Stanley’s Mohsenian said. “We also see more structural Pepsi market share benefits post COVID-19, as PEP uses its DSD distribution advantage, to gain shelf space and share in snacks, and in beverages, where PEP is advantaged vs competition with a much lower mix in away-from-home.” Upside risks: Higher FLNA snacks topline growth, improving North America beverages business on higher investment spend and on-premise recovery, better GM expansion on favourable commodities/better pricing, and higher cost savings from restructuring. Downside risks: Lower return from PEP’s reinvestment, macro volatility, commodity and FX volatility, greater COVID impacts, worse market share trends in beverages, soda taxes.

Nic discusses this years $20 billion surge in USD-backed stablecoins (what he calls crypto-dollars) and the potentially enormous implications of an offshore dollarization system based on blockchain. Fiat-backed stablecoins are not what Satoshi intended, Carter says, but their preposterous growth this year is the the most important phenomenon in the industry. It not only tells us about the maturation of the crypto financial infrastructure. It also tells us a lot about current geopolitics, too, he says. Related: Crypto Is Too Dependent on Dollars Nic has written two op-eds for CoinDesk about crypto-dollars: Policymakers Shouldnt Fear Digital Money: So Far Its Maintaining the Dollars Status (from February) and The Crypto-Dollar Surge and the American Opportunity (this month). U.S. policymakers fear losing power as dollar-flows increasingly shift to stablecoins. Central bankers may have less ability to set interest rates. And the corresponding banking infrastructure, based largely in New York, will process fewer transactions as people move into assets like tether and USDC instead. Nonetheless, Carter says the U.S. should embrace this new form of money technology. One, its mostly, for now, a U.S. industry, and overwhelming pegged to dollars. More dollars in circulation, while not necessarily good for American workers, is good for the dollars reserve currency status. Story continues Two, blockchains are inherently neutral equal opportunity databases that dont exclude people and represent financial freedom. That ought to accord with American values. And third, if the U.S. doesnt sanction stablecoin transactions, some other country or company will, inviting in the threat of surveillance and a loss of power anyway. The U.S. should consider embracing a neutral alternative to the highly politicized New York corresponding banking system before its too late and whole tranches of its allies defect to a Chinese or a Russian system, Carter says.

Today's Key News: ['Professional football club in Italy forms partnership with world’s biggest digital lottery Crypto Millions Lotto named Official Online Lottery Partner Crypto Millions Lotto named Official Online Lottery Partner LONDON, Sept. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via CryptoCurrencyWire -- Crypto Millions Lotto , the world’s biggest digital lottery, has been named as the Official Online Lottery Partner of Italian Serie A club Atalanta B .C. It’s the first-ever partnership between an online lottery and a Serie A club. A coming together of two organisations, rising stars in different industries, that share the same bold approach. Both organisations are known for punching above their weight. Crypto Millions Lotto disrupts traditional lotteries by offering jackpots many times larger than their more established national competitors. Atalanta B.C. have established themselves as a top performer, finishing third in Serie A last season, ahead of some the world’s best-known clubs. To demonstrate the pioneering approach of this partnership, one of the major steps it will take is to bring the world’s most widely used alternative currency, Bitcoin, into the mainstream. Commenting on the partnership, Crypto Millions Lotto CEO Sulim Malook said, “We are delighted to have found a partner that has the same disruptive approach as us. With their outstanding performances in Serie A, and having established themselves on the world stage, Atalanta B.C. were an obvious choice of partner for us. This is going to be an exciting year for us both. We are planning to add a number of new lotteries to our site plus the ability to play using credit cards, whilst Atalanta B.C. will be mixing it with Europe’s elite clubs as they challenge for the Champions League again. We’re big football fans and we’ll be supporting them all the way.” Romano Zanforlin, Commercial Director of Atalanta B.C., said, “We’re excited to partner with Crypto Millions Lotto, an ambitious company that is keen to increase its exposure with the help of Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio’s brand and global reach.

With their outstanding performances in Serie A, and having established themselves on the world stage, Atalanta B.C. were an obvious choice of partner for us. This is going to be an exciting year for us both. We are planning to add a number of new lotteries to our site plus the ability to play using credit cards, whilst Atalanta B.C. will be mixing it with Europe’s elite clubs as they challenge for the Champions League again. We’re big football fans and we’ll be supporting them all the way.”\nRomano Zanforlin, Commercial Director of Atalanta B.C., said, “We’re excited to partner with Crypto Millions Lotto, an ambitious company that is keen to increase its exposure with the help of Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio’s brand and global reach.

Reversing a 0.83% loss from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,856.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $10,674.2 before finding support. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin struck a late morning high $10,815.4 before hitting reverse. Coming up short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $10,654.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,585, Bitcoin rallied to a final hour intraday high $10,889.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,915, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$10,860 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Chainlink (-1.19%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.92%), and Polkadot (-0.36%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Binance Coin rallied by 7.20% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.74%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.09%), Ethereum (+1.76%), Litecoin (+1.08%) also found solid support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (0.11%) and Ripple’s XRP (+0.83%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $321.20bn before rising to a Tuesday high $341.14bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $337.21bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 61.23% before falling to a Tuesday low 58.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.31%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.28% to $10,826.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $10,866.0 before falling to a low $10,826.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Story continues Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.54%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.62%), and Crypto.com Coin (+0.65%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 1.18% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $10,800 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,945 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,900 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $11,000 would likely cap any upside.

As a result, many exchanges have been delisting privacy projects whose only aim is to protect one\'s right to privacy online. Established projects like Alias and newcomers alike are working overtime despite this adversity and keep releasing bleeding edge technology.One has to only look at recent Github activity, it is clear that privacy projects are ramping up their development and delivering on their roadmaps, with projects like ZCoin, PIVX, ZCash, Monero, and Particl, to name a few. It seems like the crackdown is not slowing these privacy projects down, and Alias is confident in the need for its tech and tools as well."Privacy for the users is at the heart of everything we do," says Eirik Korsell, Project Steward at Alias. "..no attempt should be made to criminalize digital privacy; it should be an undisputed right."The news of this under the radar project comes in the wake of many recent initiatives and accomplishments for the Alias team, including:- Developing a unique Proof-of-Stake protocol using ring-signatures, facilitating a private staking mechanism not seen before in any other cryptocurrency.- Integrating Tor as a part of the code-base; providing robust network security, protecting users\' real-world IP address.- Solving a well-known privacy issue affecting decoy-based currencies like Monero and Grin by developing unique algorithms to mitigate this. (see link below)- Ensuring the full software could run on a Raspberry Pi, providing a low-cost, eco-friendly option for those with low-powered devices.- Soon to release a world-first for an Android app, fully-featured Anonymous Proof-of-Stake (APoS) allowing mobile users to earn rewards while maintaining their right to privacy.Why the Re-brand?The brand evolution will better reflect what Alias seeks to communicate and achieve, and will better enable it to fight the stigma of online privacy. At the same time, it will differentiate us from many other "Spectre" named projects.Eirik says, "We wanted a name which sounded more like a currency, felt more mainstream and brought a more positive vibe to the project and it\'s innovative and useful technology." "We\'re working to enhance all our communications towards reaching a broader audience while continuing to develop our advanced privacy technology."Why the name ALIAS?Creating an online persona or alias" can be one way to help protect oneself against the intrusions of a hyper-connected world. An alias allows for a greater amount of separation between personal and online life. Ultimately it provides an easy way to be online and less of a need to worry about potential threats from cybercriminals. This rings true for one\'s financial life, and thus the name was a perfect fit.Alias also understands there are situations where private transactions are unsuitable, thus allowing its users to choose between a public or private transaction. They have made it possible to offer this alternative without compromising the secure private transactions, preserving the right to privacy, and championing the freedom of choice.Alias is ideally positioned to excel in challenging the competition, leveraging its unique set of privacy features. Alias offers an intuitive, easy to use wallet, top-level security, and the ability to earn as you save, and supports the new digital economy with a fast, secure, digital cash solution.Everyone needs Alias!Aliaswas born out of a desire to create a simple, border-less private cryptocurrency, improving on Bitcoin\'s original idea with more robust privacy protocols and a more energy-friendly network through the use of Proof-of-Stake. Alias has a highly competent core development team comprised of a software architect and a software engineer with decades of experience.

It seems like the crackdown is not slowing these privacy projects down, and Alias is confident in the need for its tech and tools as well. "Privacy for the users is at the heart of everything we do," says Eirik Korsell, Project Steward at Alias. "..no attempt should be made to criminalize digital privacy; it should be an undisputed right." The news of this under the radar project comes in the wake of many recent initiatives and accomplishments for the Alias team, including: - Developing a unique Proof-of-Stake protocol using ring-signatures, facilitating a private staking mechanism not seen before in any other cryptocurrency. - Integrating Tor as a part of the code-base; providing robust network security, protecting users\' real-world IP address. - Solving a well-known privacy issue affecting decoy-based currencies like Monero and Grin by developing unique algorithms to mitigate this. (see link below) - Ensuring the full software could run on a Raspberry Pi, providing a low-cost, eco-friendly option for those with low-powered devices. - Soon to release a world-first for an Android app, fully-featured Anonymous Proof-of-Stake (APoS) allowing mobile users to earn rewards while maintaining their right to privacy. Why the Re-brand? The brand evolution will better reflect what Alias seeks to communicate and achieve, and will better enable it to fight the stigma of online privacy. At the same time, it will differentiate us from many other "Spectre" named projects. Eirik says, "We wanted a name which sounded more like a currency, felt more mainstream and brought a more positive vibe to the project and it\'s innovative and useful technology." "We\'re working to enhance all our communications towards reaching a broader audience while continuing to develop our advanced privacy technology." Why the name ALIAS? Creating an online persona or alias" can be one way to help protect oneself against the intrusions of a hyper-connected world. An alias allows for a greater amount of separation between personal and online life. Ultimately it provides an easy way to be online and less of a need to worry about potential threats from cybercriminals. This rings true for one\'s financial life, and thus the name was a perfect fit. Alias also understands there are situations where private transactions are unsuitable, thus allowing its users to choose between a public or private transaction. They have made it possible to offer this alternative without compromising the secure private transactions, preserving the right to privacy, and championing the freedom of choice. Alias is ideally positioned to excel in challenging the competition, leveraging its unique set of privacy features. Alias offers an intuitive, easy to use wallet, top-level security, and the ability to earn as you save, and supports the new digital economy with a fast, secure, digital cash solution. Everyone needs Alias! Alias was born out of a desire to create a simple, border-less private cryptocurrency, improving on Bitcoin\'s original idea with more robust privacy protocols and a more energy-friendly network through the use of Proof-of-Stake. Alias has a highly competent core development team comprised of a software architect and a software engineer with decades of experience. Alias aims to position itself at the forefront of the decentralized privacy revolution.

Today's Key News: ['Leaked recordings of a private conversation suggest crypto lender Babel Finance leveraged some user funds to long bitcoin and faced potential default risks during this year’s Black Thursday market crash in March. Seven audio files first emerged online on Sept. 25 that appear to be parts of a longer in-person conversation between Del Wang, co-founder of Beijing-based Babel, and an unknown person. The recordings offer a rare hint of strategies taken by the industry’s nascent crypto lenders in managing their balance sheets, suggesting some business practices may be different from what they claim. Related: BlockFi Adds an Independent Pricing Partner to Guard Against Flash Crashes The audio files were initially uploaded to Anchor.fm by an anonymous Twitter user on Sept. 25 but were soon taken down by the platform after Babel filed complaints. The anonymous Twitter user then posted the recordings to YouTube. Several people familiar with the company listened to the recordings and confirmed to CoinDesk that it was Wang speaking. In one of the files, the unknown person also addressed Wang by his full name. In a written response to CoinDesk on Sept. 30, a Babel representative said the company is unable to confirm the authenticity of the recordings because they are “fragmented” and “clearly artificially edited.” The representative said they can’t comment on the content of the recordings and claimed the accusations made by the anonymous publisher were baseless and not factual. Wang didn’t respond to CoinDesk’s request for comment on the recordings. Related: Aave Becomes Second DeFi Project to Overtake MakerDAO for Most Crypto Deposited Following Babel’s initial response to Decrypt that the recordings could be patched together, the anonymous Twitter account posted two longer recordings on Sept. 30 that contain the previous seven parts. The new recordings suggest the conversations happened around March 20. Story continues Founded in 2018, Babel Finance is registered in Hong Kong with operations based in China. It has essentially taken on the role of a crypto bank in the industry by offering both saving and lending products. One of its money drivers was the difference between lending and saving interest. But according to the leaked recordings, Babel also bet that bitcoin’s price would rise and leveraged both its own and some customer funds to long bitcoin, which faced potential default risks during bitcoin’s 60% crash six months ago. ‘It’s called X Plan’ In the additional recordings published on Sept. 30, Wang can be heard saying Babel started buying bitcoin in early 2019 when its price was around $3,000. The initial capital for those purchases came from the $750,000 raised from Neo Growth Capital (NGC) and another $4 million as deposits, also from NGC. When asked why NGC didn’t buy bitcoin with the $4 million, Wang said NGC wasn’t planning to use that money for such a purpose. An unidentified partner at NGC reportedly said he was not aware of the NGC funds being used to speculate on bitcoin’s price. Wang apparently said in the recording that Babel adopted a strategy where it pledged the bitcoin it purchased to another lender in order to borrow more money when bitcoin’s price went up to $4,000. With the newly borrowed money, it continued buying more bitcoin. When bitcoin’s price went up again, it repeated the same method, which put more leverage on its long positions. “We became the customer of ourselves,” Wang said in the recordings. “We kept increasing our [bitcoin long] positions starting from $3,000 all the way to $14,000,” Wang was heard saying in the recordings. “Initially we had about 3X leverage, but then we leveled up as bitcoin’s price surged.” Read more: What Crypto Lender Celsius Isn’t Telling Its Depositors “It’s called X Plan,” Wang said in the recording, seemingly referring to the leverage strategy. “Initially only Flex Yang [Babel’s CEO and the other co-founder] and I knew about it. But later on three other shareholders also became aware of the plan.” Babel declined to elaborate on X Plan or comment specifically on the usage of NGC’s funds in the beginning, claiming information with its customers is confidential. The apparent upside of this method is the multiplied return on the back of bitcoin’s bull run in the first half of 2019, when bitcoin went from $3,000 to $14,000. Wang said in the recording that when bitcoin reached $14,000, the firm did realize this was not a long-term game and initially set a profit-stop order at $18,000. Even though it had later lowered the stop order targets, it didn’t fully close its positions. “Had we closed our positions even at $10,500, we could have made net profits of two to three hundred million yuan [around $30 million to $40 million],” Wang was heard saying. But the downside was the risk of how quickly Babel’s crypto reserves could react to margin calls from its capital sources for more bitcoin if bitcoin’s price suffered a sudden plunge. User funds Babel boasts that it is one of the major crypto lenders in the world, claiming to have over $350 million in outstanding loans as of June 30 this year. But customers’ deposits only constitute a relatively small part of the money that’s available for borrowers. A majority of Babel’s capital comes from other institutional lenders. Babel’s CEO and co-founder Flex Yang said prior to March 12 his firm was able to enjoy a collateral-to-loan (CTL) rate as low as 100% for borrowing funds from its capital sources. The firm’s main capital partners included BlockFi, Genesis Capital and Tether at the time. That means Babel would only need to pledge $1 million worth of bitcoin in order to borrow $1 million of USDT . But, when lending this amount to its own customers, Babel required an over 160% CTL rate, meaning borrowers needed to put in over $1.6 million worth of bitcoin as collateral. As such, Babel would have the difference of the $600,000 worth of bitcoin collateral sitting on the liability side of its balance sheet. One reason Babel could enjoy a more attractive collateral rate from its capital sources is because it advertises that Chinese bitcoin miners who are able to generate bitcoin organically and meet margin calls if needed are its primary lending customers. In an ideal situation, the risk would be relatively low for Babel if it holds all the $600,000 bitcoin collateral in the example above within its reserve. But the reality appears to be muddier because Babel didn’t exactly draw a fine line between its own assets and user funds, according to Wang in the recording. Read more: SEC Orders Salt Lending to Offer Refunds to Investors in Its $47M ICO In the response to CoinDesk, Babel claimed that customers’ collateral is either stored in cold wallets or further lent out to counterparties while taking in USDT as collateral. “The situation of Babel using customers’ funds to trade crypto doesn’t exist,” the firm claimed in the statement. But then that raises a question of how it could even differentiate customers’ positions from its own long positions if they were bundled together to execute a leverage plan. In one of the recordings, the unknown person said to Wang: “Strictly speaking, these [user] funds do not belong to you, and you should not have used them as leverage.” “Right,” Wang answered, explaining: “The money we used to buy bitcoin came from our fundraise, our interest profits and profits we made through increasing our long positions.” The person went on to question: “If it was all just your own asset, you couldn’t have got this large [long] position. … That means you probably have also used parts of borrowers’ collateral and depositors’ funds.” Wang did not directly answer with a yes or no to that question but said that “if considering ourselves as a customer, then our funds and real users’ funds are all mixed up together.” “The good customers are the real customers. The bad customers are ourselves,” Wang was also heard saying in the recording. Babel declined to disclose how large its long positions were before this year’s March sell-off. March 12 The real risk didn’t start to materialize until March 12, when bitcoin’s price crashed by over 60% in a matter of a day. The sudden drop led to a severe devaluation of Babel’s collateral at its capital sources, to the extent that its collateral at Tether at one point was worth below 80% of what Babel had borrowed from the USDT issuer, people familiar with Babel’s operations told CoinDesk. The people said at that point Babel owed Tether 2,000 to 3,000 BTC just to meet the 100% CTL rate. If Tether chose to liquidate Babel’s position, itself would also suffer a loss since the bitcoin collateral it had was worth much less than the money it lent out at that point. When asked why Babel didn’t send in more bitcoin to meet the margin calls from its capital sources during the March 12 crash, Wang said in the recording the firm didn’t have the coins for its own positions. He said Babel later liquidated some borrowers’ positions worth 3,000 to 4,000 BTC but didn’t exactly sell them. Babel declined to comment on Wang’s comment about it falling short of reserves to meet margin calls but claimed it didn’t default any borrower due to its own violation of terms, such as failing to pay back collateral as demanded. Babel said it also didn’t default any institutional lenders and there was no forced liquidation from its capital partners due to Babel’s own violation of terms. But one smaller lending partner, Hong Kong-based OSL, force-liquidated Babel’s more than 500 BTC collateral following the March 12 crash, according to screenshots of conversations between the two seen and reviewed by CoinDesk. Yang said the forced liquidation came after Babel met OSL’s margin calls and subsequently blamed OSL for the act instead of itself. OSL has not yet responded to CoinDesk’s request for comment. In fact, the people familiar with the situation said when the March 12 crash happened, Babel asked for credit lo Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

A veteran in the industry, Speigner has witnessed many rivals come and go since launching the platform in 2015, when bitcoin’s price was in the low hundreds. The Path to Mainstream Crypto Adoption The value of bitcoin isn’t the only thing that’s changed since Speigner created a low-fee crypto wallet aimed at novices. The digital asset ecosystem has expanded exponentially, with numerous projects pushing the envelope as far as technological innovation is concerned. From the ICO boom to the birth of stablecoins via the Cash App and Facebook’s Libra, the landscape has changed immeasurably. While Speigner is proud to have “reached over 20 million wallets users and been used by so many first-time crypto users around the world,” he is keen to help the industry move to the elusive next level: mainstream adoption. There is no set criteria to determine when such a level will have been reached, but recent developments augur well: in June, news broke that PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL ) would roll out direct sales of cryptocurrency to its 325 million users. Payments giant Mastercard (NYSE: MA ), meanwhile, has been helping to power crypto-fiat payment cards ; it also just launched a testing platform to simulate the “issuance, distribution and exchange of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) between banks, financial service providers and consumers.” While some believe CBDCs will negatively affect cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, others – such as Grayscale Investment (OTCMKTS: GBTC ) CEO Barry Silbert – believe they will pave the way for institutional interest. “I find it interesting and encouraging that the likes of Mastercard and Bank of America have done an about-face from just a year ago, when they were banning crypto transactions,” says Jonathan Speigner. “The last holdouts have been governments and financial institutions, so I see this as the start of some really big changes for crypto and early adopters of crypto wallets. Story continues Jonathan Speigner Jonathan Speigner “While Coin.Space is a global brand, Bank of America – which has filed a patent for a crypto-inclusive digital currency wallet – will more than likely only be offered to US users. I hope Mastercard takes a more global approach.” They will certainly need to if they seek to “bank the unbanked,” a common enough goal touted by fintech companies, especially those in the cryptosphere. Having worked on the technical side of security as well as cryptocurrency and cloud computing, Speigner understands the challenges of achieving such an ambition – but he remains undaunted. “Anything that helps the unbanked I am in support of,” he explains, referencing the burgeoning decentralized finance (defi) movement that seeks to widen access to financial services and whose products include borrowing and lending. “From day one we’ve had the same goal, and I am most proud of achieving that in so many countries, with millions of crypto transactions. It’s very early days with defi, and there will be a lot of work to do. We are always watching to see how things like defi will play into and help with wallet adoptions. We have some exciting partnerships in the works with some defi leaders, actually.” A Crypto Wallet That’s Pro-Privacy Bitcoin was conceived as a digital currency that couldn’t be manipulated by authorities, a secure asset that empowers individuals to directly manage their own finances without relying on custodial service providers. However, many users have neglected to retain ownership of their private keys, meaning their funds sit on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges which are notoriously vulnerable to malicious attacks. This year alone, $1.4 billion has been stolen from crypto users – a large percentage of which was thieved from insecure exchange platforms. As a noncustodial wallet, Coin.Space is a different proposition, utilizing AES-256 and BIP 39 passphrase encryption and a four-digit PIN for wallet access. The wallet is also enabled with Tor and VPN support, and it’s been designed to ensure that even those with low bandwidth connections can still make transactions. “Security has been our number one priority and most of our roadmap is focused on adding more security for our users,” explains Speigner. “Hardware wallet-level security in a mobile wallet will be an industry first. Tor and VPN support were added due to customer requests, since some users desire an additional layer of security. They’ve also historically been needed by users whose governments have tried to block cryptocurrency. “Since we do not log or track users, I couldn’t say what percentage of users use VPN or Tor, but we want to make sure if they need to for their own reasons, we support that additional level of privacy for them.” Bullish on Bitcoin It doesn’t matter how useful or feature-rich they are; to many people, crypto wallets will always be synonymous with bitcoin. If the currency takes a hit, the very concept of a crypto wallet also suffers. So, what are Speigner’s impressions of bitcoin after the events of 2020, with BTC having broken the resistance level of $10,000 more than once? “I am bullish on crypto, don’t get me wrong – I spent five years building Coin.Space because I believe it's the future. But the emotional roller coaster of the ups and down of BTC, ETH or indeed any other crypto is something I have learned to put aside. We like to keep focused on adding new features and support new coins and other trends. From what I have seen, I think BTC will be around and stay at the benchmark for the foreseeable future.” Whatever happens, the CEO is unlikely to deviate from his mission to solidify Coin.Space’s status as a premier crypto wallet, with 20 million users in over 20 countries. With competition more intense than ever, and the likes of PayPal and Mastercard moving into the crypto business, it’ll be no mean feat.

So I told one of my buddies to buy everyone a round and Venmo me for whatever it cost. His response: “What’s Venmo?” It was one of about a billion times life has told me that you can’t go home again, but this story would come as no surprise to Lana Swartz, a media studies professor at the University of Virginia. She’s the author of the book “ New Money: How Payment Became Social Media ,” which goes into detail explaining how payment apps are more than tools. Related: Italian Payments Giants Merging to Form Entity That Will Dominate Local Market In short: Payment signals affiliation. Swartz calls payment groupings “transactional communities,” and every credit card or national currency represents one. As Swartz writes in her book, “Venmo is not a wallet, it’s a conversation.” I’ve joined it. My old friends are still splitting the tab by hand. So it goes. What about crypto? “New Money” is a read that will force members of any crypto tribe to ask themselves: Who am I? What does using ETH or BTC or XLM or ATOM say about me and those with whom I affiliate? Swartz’s book is all about the complex story of how payments work, and what your chosen currency says about you. Related: The Standard About to Revolutionize Payments Acknowledging this, Swartz describes blockchain in particularly in a grand way, writing: “A money that remembers better is, for many people, the ‘dream’ promised by blockchain, a perfect transactional memory, a truly distributed ledger of all money’s distributed agency, eternal and transcendent of human incapacity, remembering everything and beholden to no one.” As Swartz put it when we spoke, there was a camp of early Bitcoiners, those who counted themselves among the cypherpunks or an adjacent group, who knew that “getting the money right will either be a matter of having the internet be just another overlay on the existing kind of tyranny, existing power, or it could really be an opportunity for changing society for the better.” Story continues Read more: Bitcoin and the Rise of the Cypherpunks But, since Bitcoin, more than a thousand cryptocurrencies have sprung up, and 25 of those (as of this writing) have market capitalizations greater than $1 billion. Nothing gets to that kind of value without some number of people buying into its message. But blockchain tribes tell garbled stories about themselves; each credit card company knows exactly how it wants its customers to see themselves. Peasants into Frenchmen It should be noted that “New Money” is about payment, not crypto, but it gives crypto a respectful spot in the overall story, which is a useful one for this industry. Adopting a given kind of money has long helped instill a shared identity. In our conversation, Swartz and I revisited her book’s discussion of Eugen Weber , the UCLA historian who wrote in 1976 of how the French franc was a key tool in turning “ peasants into Frenchmen ” because using it gave them a transactional community, one where the fruits of their labor could be redeemed far from home. Since nations demonstrated the efficacy of creating transactional communities to bind their people, the private sector has just gone on building more and more transactional communities on top of fiat. Swartz describes how traveler’s checks were a way for wealthy people to show that their money was good all over the world. Charge cards were a way for businessmen to show they were elite.

Also: Bitwise’s bitcoin fund has more than doubled in size, KuCoin was hacked and Jack Dorsey dropped a few more hints about his decentralized social media standard, Blue Sky. Top shelf Accredited investor interest Bitwise’s bitcoin fund has brought in $8.9 million, the single-largest increase in assets raised in the fund’s two-year history, according to a recently amended filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The firm’s Bitcoin Fund provides accredited U.S. investors with exposure to bitcoin through a traditional product. In 2019, the fund attracted $4.1 million in investment, meaning the fund has more than doubled in size the past year. Bitwise executives pointed to fears of inflation and bitcoin’s role as a hedge as reasons for increased interest in their product. Bitcoin’s well-known volatility is often seen as a barrier to entry for institutional clients, but the cryptocurrency has in fact been more stable than Tesla’s (TSLA) stock. Related: First Mover: Binance CEO Sees Future in DeFi While Bitcoin Volatility Turns Minuscule Enterprise solutions EY has unveiled a new Ethereum-based, enterprise-grade blockchain solution called the OpsChain Network Procurement. The platform is designed to enable companies to run private end-to-end procurement activities by allowing buyers and sellers to operate as networks, while automatically tracking volumes and spend and utilizing agreed terms and pricing. The platform utilizes open-source software including the Microsoft-backed Baseline Protocol and operates on the public Ethereum blockchain, CoinDesk’s Sebastian Sinclair reports. Twitter’s blockchain Jack Dorsey said blockchain is the future of Twitter and his latest initiative is looking to hire at least five new roles, while speaking at the virtual Oslo Freedom Forum 2020 on Friday. The CEO of Twitter and Square revealed details of the nonprofit Blue Sky initiative meant to create an open standard for social media. Under this vision, users can contribute to and access data from a decentralized version of Twitter instead of a centralized service where the social media platform hosts content on its website. “Blockchain and bitcoin point to a future, point to a world, where content exists forever,” Dorsey said. “We’re not in the content hosting business anymore, we’re in the discovery business.” Story continues KuCoin hack Over the weekend, a hacker breached KuCoin’s hot wallets absconding with some $150 million in crypto. KuCoin said in a statement that it detected large withdrawals of bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) tokens to an unknown wallet beginning at 19:05 UTC time on Friday. The exchange’s chief executive Johnny Lyu said KuCoin has transferred the remaining funds from compromised wallets to new addresses and momentarily froze customer deposits and withdrawals. While other exchanges including Bitfinex and Tether have blacklisted the stolen funds. An investigation is underway and stolen customer money will be “covered completely” by an insurance fund, Lyu said. DeFi goes NFT The excitement in DeFi has shifted to the NFT market, CoinDesk’s Brady Dale reports. NFTs, one-of-a-kind tokens made possible by Ethereum’s ERC-721 standard, have not captivated investor attention until quite recently when people realized these digital collectibles could be used for yield farming. Platforms like NIFTEX have enabled NFT indices, Rarible has added a native token and Uniswap’s liquidity pools are creating new avenues for financialization – a trend Dale traces back to John Lyall’s MEME experiment.

Uniswap clocked the record figure just after midnight (UTC) Monday, according to crypto rankings website DeFi Pulse. The next biggest DeFi project, peer-to-peer lending platform Maker, trails slightly behind Uniswap at $1.96 billion in total value locked (TVL), according to DeFi Pulse. There’s now more than $11 billion in TVL in the DeFi ecosystem, with Uniswap making up approximately 18% of that. Market intel Five digit streak Bitcoin closed Sunday at $10,793 setting a record of 63 consecutive daily closes above $10,000, according to market data aggregated by Messari. The bellwether cryptocurrency’s previous record 62-day streak above $10,000 lasted from Dec. 1, 2017, through Jan. 31, 2018, when bitcoin reached its all-time high of just above $19,900 on Coinbase, CoinDesk’s Zack Voell reports. Exchanges down? The balance of bitcoin on major exchanges has hit its lowest levels since November 2018, potentially signalling a bullish view from bitcoin holders, as they move to longer-term holding strategies, such as cold wallets. Additionally, a rise in new investors during the coronavirus pandemic has led to a growth in “white glove” services, meaning fewer bitcoin on exchanges and more in managed portfolios. Another possible explanation? Bitcoin is being moved to tokenization solutions for use in the DeFi ecosystem, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shen reports. Op-ed Stablecoin guidance Reading between the lines, CoinDesk Director of Research Noelle Acheson thinks the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) latest stablecoin guidance is more than a nudge for the industry. “This could incentivize banks to actively seek stablecoin business, and in so doing, broaden both their client base and their stake in crypto markets… So, a bank could attract not just stablecoin issuers, but also their clients. It would then make sense to facilitate the transfers of stablecoins between clients, and (why not) even between banks. New payments networks could emerge, which in turn could give rise to a host of new banking services,” she writes.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slipped by 0.26% on Saturday. Following on from a 0.44% decline on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,558.6. It was a relatively range-bound day on Saturday. Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $10,513.0 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,423, Bitcoin rose to a late afternoon intraday high $10,616.0. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $10,718, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$10,600 levels and into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Binance Coin rose by 3.18% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+0.52%), Chainlink (+0.52%), Ethereum (+0.13%), and Litecoin (+1.47%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Polkadot slid by 1.28% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.93%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.36%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.57%) also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Thursday high $344.75bn before falling to a Friday low $320.20bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $328.15bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Thursday low 58.78% before rising to a Friday high 59.99%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.55%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.20% to $10,579.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,541.0 before rising to a high $10,580.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.35%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.59%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.29%), Chainlink (-0.51%), Polkadot (-0.48%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.03%) saw red early on. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was up by 0.54% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $10,563 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,612 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,600 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,666 and resistance at $10,700 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $10,563 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,509 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,400 support levels. The second major support level at $10,460 should limit any downside.

Examining the history of how DEXs have evolved can help elucidate where DEXs are headed and how they will compete with centralized exchanges.\nDEXs come in a variety of forms, but share one common quality: non-custodial. DEXs use smart contracts to manage funds on-chain, so users never have to trust a third party with their money.\nRelated:First Mover: Day in the Life of a Yield Farmer Means Part-Time Gig, Full-Time Risk\nHowever, theexchangepart of a DEX – the way buyers and sellers find each other – can vary widely from one implementation to another. When thinking about the future of DEXs, it’s helpful to first understand their past.\nAlex Wearn is the co-founder and CEO of IDEX, a high-performance DEX. He has spent his career in software development, including time at Amazon, Adobe, and IBM. He has been hacking on crypto startups since 2014, transitioning to full time with the launch of IDEX in 2018.\nThe earliest Ethereum DEXs, like EtherEx and OasisDex, built a traditional central limit order book (CLOB) exchange entirely out of Ethereum smart contracts. Developers and users quickly discovered that order management and trade execution are not well suited for a blockchain. In particular, the placing and cancelling of orders by market makers, and the interaction of traders with the on-chain order book, were expensive and error prone due to the high costs and latency of on-chain transactions.\nIn mid-2016, a new exchange, EtherDelta, innovated on this model by bringing the order book off-chain. This design eliminated the cost of order creation and reduced the latency and gas costs of placing an order.\nRelated:Open Interest in CME Bitcoin Futures Slides as Market Sapped by Surging DeFi\nWhile it was a major improvement, users still incurred costs for canceling orders – a fee which prohibited market makers from providing liquidity at scale. Additionally, takers submitted their own trades to the network, creating on-chain “trade collisions,” with multiple takers competing for the same order. On peak days, up to 30% of trades failed due to these on-chain collisions.\nAlthough the first iterations of DEXs faded over time, they were innovative, forward-thinking, and laid the groundwork for models in use today.\nImproving upon the earliest DEX models, the next generation of DEXs, including IDEX and DDEX, explored a hybrid approach. This design moved both order books and trade execution off-chain. With off-chain execution, users match their own orders but submit them to the exchange, which executes the trade and relays the order to the network for settlement. This approach eliminates the issues of on-chain trade collisions, gas fees for canceled orders, and front-running. This model served as the dominant trading model for almost two years.\nHowever, this design is not without flaws.

That means traders can keep an eye on exchange wallets to gauge whether investors and crypto miners are getting their bitcoin into position for a possible sale — or taking balances down from the exchanges in anticipation of holding for the longer term. The latter might be what’s happening now, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shenreported Monday. Total balances of bitcoin on major exchanges has hit its lowest levels since November 2018. It could be an indication of bullishness among bitcoin traders. Related:Binance CEO Says He Fully Expects DeFi to Cannibalize His Crypto Exchange “There’s no reason to sell now,” Mike Alfred, CEO of Digital Assets Data, told Shen in a phone interview. “Why would you be selling when you’re at the beginning of a wave of potential corporate treasuries and institutional investors coming in?” Another interpretation, according to Arcane Research, is that traders are taking their bitcoin off exchanges to deploy them in the decentralized finance sector, known as DeFi. Juicy returns can be obtained fromtokenizingcrypto assets and depositing them as collateral in semi-automated, blockchain-based trading and lending platforms. As CoinDeskreported earlierthis week, tokenized bitcoin has become one of the largest assets on DeFi. Currently, there are more than 108,000 BTC worth some $1.1 billion minted from seven issuers, according toDune Analytics. That might be another bullish sign.

The cryptocurrency clocked highs near $10,950 early Monday and is currently trading near $10,850. The cryptocurrency’s weekly chart MACD histogram, an indicator used to identify trend changes and trend strength, has dipped below zero for the first time since March, indicating a bearish shift in the broader trend. Similarly, the 5- and 10-week averages have produced a bearish crossover. As such, bitcoin could face chart-driven selling pressure. On the higher side, $11,000 is the level to beat for the bulls. – Omkar Godbole Bitcoin (BTC):Market cap could swell to $1-5T in next 5-10 years, from about $200B now, as largest cryptocurrency becomes settlement system for banks and businesses while taking 10% share of physical gold market,Coin Metrics says in report with ARK Invest.

The decentralized trading platform announced around 00:30 UTC time Thursday it launched its governance token, dubbed UNI, with 1 billion coins that will be released over the next four years. While the liquidity mining for the governance token will not start until Friday, Uniswap said historical users and liquidity providers on the platform are now able to claim for 400 UNI per each address.

Following the announcement, the number of pending transactions on the Ethereum network per minute has jumped from around 160,000 to over 210,000 as of writing, according to data on blockchain explorer Etherscan . Within three hours after the claim started, over 18,000 transactions were sent to the smart contract address of the UNI governance token, with more than 5,000 of them pending at the time. The total number of transactions has now reached over 26,000 while the pending ones have dropped to around 3,700 as of writing. The increasing number of transactions sent to the UNI smart contract appears to have led to a surge of the gas fee on the Ethereum network, which Uniswaps protocol is built on.

Story continues Even the site traffic on the blockchain explorer has reached a peak. The last time Etherscan site traffic peak to the current level was during the 2017-2018 ICO mania. Kudos to Uniswap for the successful launch of the UNI token, said Etherscans founder and CEO Matthew Tan in a tweet . Within hours of Uniswaps announcement, major centralized exchanges including Binance, Huobi and OKEx listed trading pairs for the governance token, which is now changing hands at around $2.90.

Today's Key News: ['Cryptocurrency exchange\xa0KuCoin is bringing more services back online after suffering a major hack late last month. In a service update early on Wednesday, the Seychelles-based platform said it is once more allowing deposits and withdrawals for bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and the tether (USDT) stablecoin after upgrading wallet security for those cryptocurrencies. KuCoin noted that wallet addresses for these coins had been refreshed and, while the older addresses would still work, it recommended users update. The USDT version for the Ethereum blockchain is now open for deposits and withdrawals, while those for Tron, EOS are deposit only. Tether on Omni cannot yet be deposited or withdrawn. Full services have been resumed for 65 other cryptocurrency projects, it added. After the breach, which saw $281 million in various crypto assets such as XRP and Ethereum-based coins stolen, KuCoin had moved to freeze all wallets and disable services. On Oct. 3, the company’s CEO, Johnny Lyu, claimed the suspected hackers had been traced and that it had informed law enforcement agencies. Lyu further claimed that another $64 million of stolen cryptos had been recovered, bringing the total value of recovered assets to $204 million at the time. In its latest update on the incident, also posted Wednesday, the exchange said other entities are continuing to help retrieve funds, with Tether having frozen “about $22 million” in stolen USDT. Other projects like Ocean Protocol have returned recovered coins to KuCoin wallets, though the amount involved wasn’t disclosed. KuCoin also provided a list of suspicious addresses related to the hack and recommended they be added to blacklists.

The company said on Friday that it has partnered with New York-based Foundry Digital LLC and a Southeast Asian company in order to improve supply chain efficiencies for North American buyers of its flagship bitcoin mining equipment. The Southeast Asian listed company – which MicroBT declined to name – is contracted to produce and deliver MicroBT’s WhatsMiner equipment to U.S. investors, who would otherwise pay an additional 25% tax if they receive shipments directly from China due to U.S. tariffs. Related:Iran Is Ripe for Bitcoin Adoption, Even as Government Clamps Down on Mining The strategy is similar to that adopted by Beijing-based Bitmain, which contracts a production factory in Malaysia responsible for overseas manufacturing and shipments. As part of the deal, Foundry, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG) that provides miner financing and procurement for institutions in North America, will be the first to receive new batches of MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M30S equipment produced in the Southeast Asian facility. DCG, which wholly owns CoinDesk, previouslysaidit plans to invest more than $100 million into its Foundry business through 2021 to provide loans to bitcoin mining clients as well as buying equipment for them in bulk. “With our collaboration and MicroBT’s upgraded production capabilities, we look forward to continuing to facilitate the timely procurement and delivery of the latest generation bitcoin mining hardware for our clients, who are institutional cryptocurrency miners in North America,” said Mike Colyer, CEO of Foundry. Related:Marty Bent on Why Bitcoin and Big Energy Are Unlikely Allies The move also underscores MicroBT’s effort to keep challenging Beijing-based Bitmain’s dominance in the bitcoin miner market, both domestically and overseas. MicroBT managed to boost its market share by selling some 600,000 WhatsMiner units worth more than $500 million in 2019. This coincided with Bitmain’s ongoing internal turmoil, which has caused notable production and shipment delays. “The Foundry team’s in-depth understanding of the mining business and regional expertise have already helped us in making the initial tests of this new supply chain a success,” said MicroBT’s COO Jiangbing Chen. “We will continue working closely with Foundry to provide the highest quality of machines and after-sale services to our customers in North America.” Also read:Jihan Wu Regains Upper Hand in Bitmain Co-Founder Fight • MicroBT Sets Up First Offshore Bitcoin Miner Factory to Expand US Market Share • MicroBT Sets Up First Offshore Bitcoin Miner Factory to Expand US Market Share... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/DuncnIdahosBandurria', 'DITO rockets up 20%, drops 30%, then finishes flat... the Aristocrats!

But this last week was especially spicy, with yesterday’s session just an absolute gong-show that caused brokerage meltdowns. DITO opened the day at P7/share, up 3% on the previous day’s close, and steadily gained to a high-water mark of P8.02/share (+18%) at around 11:45am. At 11:45am, DITO had a marketcap of P22.5bn. In the next 27 minutes, DITO would lose P7.4bn in marketcap as the price imploded to P5.38/share, swinging from an 18% gain on the day to a 21% loss. Then, over the next 30 minutes, completely erasing that loss and ending the day right where it started, at P6.81/share. 2.09 billion shares changed hands on the PSE yesterday; DITO accounted for 16% of the day’s total volume (355 million shares). The three companies combined accounted for over 28% of all shares traded.\r\n> - *MB:* MB: The amount of market uncertainty here is incredible. Traders love it, investors hate it. DITO doesn’t even own DITO Telecommunity, or anything else of material value for that matter, NOW just diluted shareholders with a bearish low-price sweetheart deal, and Chelsea is a company of tugboats and passenger ferries that happens to own a sliver of Dennis Uy’s enigmatic telecom. NOW has a long history of playing the “press release pump and dump” game, and I can only imagine that it’s happy just to be along for the ride, fluffing feathers before a potential IPO by way of introduction. Everyone in the Philippines can sense that connectivity is a bull market, whether that be mobile data (C, GLO, TEL.... then NOW) or broadband (GLO, TEL, CNVRG)...so money just keeps pouring into telco-related stocks. And it makes sense, too, given how few options there are right now on the PSE for anything that looks both pandemic-resilient and secularly profitable. But some of these things are not like the others. Some of these things will crush it, and some will not. Be careful trading telcos that you remember whether you’re being a trader (short term) or an investor (long term). Don’t start out as a trader, forget to place stops, then wind up as an investor with an investment that’s underwater. BE CAREFUL. EDIT: Also, COL Financial, get your act together. You blew AREIT and MM, and you blew yesterday\'s Telecommotion. At this point, traders/investors should not make plans in reliance on COL Financial\'s execution of a buy or sell trade.\r\n\r\nMB is posted to /r/PHinvest every Monday and Wednesday, but my newsletter goes out daily.

Traders showed little reaction to a pair of domestic reports and a balance of trade report from China. Stocks were lower in Asia, but closed in the U.S. so it was difficult for traders to gauge whether this was a risk-off or risk-on session. At 09:34 GMT, theAUD/USDwas trading .7282, down 0.0003 or -0.04%. Domestically, the AIG Services Index came in at 42.5, below the previously reported 44.0. The ANZ Job Advertisements report was 1.6%. However, the previous report was revised higher to 19.1%. In other news that could have an impact on Australia’s economy,China’s dollar-denominated exports rose 9.5%for the month of August whileimports fell 2.1%in the same period, data from the country’s General Administration of Customs showed on Monday. Economists polled by Reuters had expected exports to have climbed 7.1% in August from a year ago compared with a 7.2% rise in July, while imports were expected to climb 0.1% in August from a year ago, reversing a 1.4% decline in July. The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart, however, momentum has been trending lower since the formation of the closing price reversal top on September 1. A trade through .7414 will negate the closing price reversal top and signal a resumption of the uptrend. The main trend will change to down on a trade through the nearest main bottom at .7136. The short-term range is .7136 to .7414. Its retracement zone at .7275 to .7242 is potential support and also a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the downside. This area was straddled on Friday and is providing support today. The new minor range is .7414 to .7222. Its retracement zone at .7318 to .7341 is the next potential upside target. The main support is the retracement zone at .7123 to .7055. Traders should pay attention to a rally back to .7318 to .7341. This is because aggressive counter-trend sellers are likely to come in on a test of this area in an effort to form a potentially bearish secondary lower top. On the downside, the key level is the short-term Fibonacci level at .7242. Although the AUD/USD broke through this level on Friday, the selling wasn’t strong enough to sustain the break. Nonetheless, traders should continue to watch this level. If sellers take out .7242 with conviction, we could see an acceleration to the downside since the next major support doesn’t come in until .7136 to .7109.

Today's Key News: ['Let’s say you’re a 17-year-old high school senior. You finished near the top of your class, you nailed your SATs and now you’re trying to figure out where to go to college. Option A is an elite university that will likely (but not certainly) reward you with a decent job, but it will also guarantee a crushing $200,000 in debt, and who knows what the economy will look like in four years, or even if we have an economy, or even if we have a planet? This story is part of the CoinDesk U series about blockchain at universities. See our ranking of U.S. universities here . Related: Looking for a Job in Crypto? Here Are 5 Skills You Need Option B is a school that “only” leaves you with $80,000 in debt but it has the whiff of mediocre compromise. What if there’s a Secret Option C? What if, theoretically, you could get the same caliber of education as the Ivy League, at the fraction of the cost, through some non-traditional classes and self-study? You’re skeptical. It sounds like a scam. Like an infomercial. And who would trust this DIY college degree? Now what if your dream employer had the same trust in your DIY degree as a diploma from Harvard? What if he or she genuinely believed that because you demonstrated a certain fluency in Japanese or mastery of coding or grasp of Murakami’s short stories, that you are the same caliber of graduate as a senior from Yale? What if all these credentials were trusted because they were – wait for it – verified on the blockchain? Related: The Best Blockchain University Programs Actually Pay Students to Learn Maybe this is where you roll your eyes. “Blockchain can revolutionize education,” of course, will elicit the same skepticism as “Blockchain will revolutionize the world.” Yet given the soaring costs of higher education, if blockchain can put any competitive pressure on the system, that alone would be a win. That future will not happen magically, it will not happen overnight, and it starts with a few modest early steps. That future starts with programs like what’s quietly brewing at the University of Colorado at Boulder, led by an entrepreneur-turned-blockchain-professor named Hunter Albright. Story continues Blockchain University Opportunities The plan was to meet in person, on the campus of UC Boulder, and speak to the students about blockchain. That plan, like most plans in 2020, was scotched. “The students are back in quarantine,” Albright tells me over Zoom. In August, a new spike in COVID-19 cases forced the school to switch from hybrid classes back to remote. So here we are, once again awkwardly staring into our computer monitors, not quite making eye contact. Albright is tall and fit. At 49, he looks just a bit like James Comey. He’s the founder and executive director of the University of Colorado Blockchain Alliance , the CEO of Curve10 (a firm that helps inventors with product design) and the de facto Godfather of UC Boulder’s blockchain initiatives, which include pilot programs for self-sovereign identity, putting college credentials on the blockchain and using the blockchain for student elections. UC Boulder isn’t the biggest or the first university to embrace blockchain, but the school’s nascent program gives a window into the opportunities – and tricky challenges – of injecting blockchain into mainstream academia. To throw a slap of cold water on the hype and misinformation: There’s no Blockchain Degree, no Blockchain Masters Program and not even a Blockchain Minor. “I don’t know if there’s a demand or a need for a degree, to be honest,” says Albright in his clear, slow, friendly cadence. If students take four blockchain-related courses at the graduate level – such as Distributed Systems, the Mathematics of CryptoSystems, or “Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies – Speculation or Innovation?” – then they can earn a blockchain “certificate” as a sort of degree add-on. (No student has earned this certificate yet; the program is new.) Albright first offered Introduction to Blockchain in Spring 2019, available to both undergraduates and graduates, primarily from the engineering and business schools. “That class filled up instantly,” remembers Jack Rice, who took the course as an undergraduate sophomore. Rice entered UC Boulder as a pre-med student, but he had already caught the crypto bug, building an Ethereum mining server as a teenager. (The mining “didn’t work out super well” as the price of Ethereum collapsed.) Rice, who’s now the president of the school’s Blockchain Club, is not exactly sure what he wants to do when he graduates – he switched from Pre-Med to Information Sciences – but now he’s mulling over blockchain-enabled startup ideas. Rice says that when business ideas float through his head, he frequently asks himself, “We do it one way now, and how can I use blockchain to improve upon it?” Other students were simply curious about the new tech and how it could, potentially, give them an edge in their future careers. “Once something new comes out, I just want to learn it, just to satisfy my curiosity,” says Hare Muthusamy, a grad student studying software development, who moved from India to enroll at UC Boulder. Muthusamy didn’t want to just learn about the concepts of blockchain – he wanted to play with it, build with it. Through the Blockchain Alliance, he worked with Albright on creating an application for the Blockchain Research Network, which aims to aggregate crypto academia. With Albright’s coaching, Muthusamy built a decentralized system that allows researchers to anonymously upload papers for peer review, and then a network of academic reviewers – across multiple universities – could anonymously review the study, and then the materials all live on the blockchain. “The course covered the theoretical concepts, and the project I did with Hunter covered the practical concepts,” explains Muthusamy. Most students aren’t taking these courses to prepare for a career in blockchain, but rather to scratch an itch (a natural curiosity) or to give their degree a bit of crypto gloss. This squares with the insights from Olta Andoni , a professor at Chicago-Kent law school, who teaches a course on blockchain and the law. Even though she is known as a “crypto-attorney,” she says most of her students do not take the class with that intent, and she stressed this several times during our call: “If you are a potential law school applicant, do not go in with the intent to become a crypto-attorney.” Andoni has found that teaching blockchain involves some odd challenges, starting with the uncertainty over how much the class already knows. “The level of knowledge is very diverse [among] the students,” she says. When you teach a course like, say, “maritime law,” the odds are good that every student begins with a similar level of ignorance. Not with crypto. Some build their own Ethereum mining servers and others think Bitcoin wallets come in leather. Other challenges: What do you use as a textbook? Outside of Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, there are few source materials that all agree are canon. “There’s been a lot of struggle in finding the right source materials,” says Angela Walch , a professor of Law at St. Mary’s, who has been teaching blockchain since 2013. “Sometimes I’ve been very surprised to find what instructors are using.” For example, Walch has misgivings about the use of 2016’s “ Blockchain Revolution ” by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott as a primary text. “That’s been very worrying to me, as I view that [book] as largely hype.” I struggle with how much I should do crypto, and how much I should do blockchain in my course. And even if you curate the perfect teaching materials, what should be included in the course? “This can be quite contentious,” says Kevin Werbach , a professor at the Wharton Business School, who also teaches a blockchain-focused class. He contrasts blockchain to a field like chemistry, where there’s not much dispute about the periodic table. Werbach – and every blockchain professor – needs to make judgment calls, such as whether enterprise distributed ledgers should be taught. (He says yes.) “I struggle with how much I should do crypto, and how much I should do blockchain in my course,” says Angela Walch. “You can’t cover it all.” As the tree of blockchain has grown, it’s harder to master every branch and twig. “You cannot be an expert on what is happening in the blockchain supply chain, at the same time as you’re an expert on blockchain voting, at the same time you’re an expert on DeFi,” she says. “They’re all their own intricate specialized worlds.” A more subtle challenge is that the overall interest in these courses, perhaps not surprisingly, seems to wax and wane with the price of bitcoin . “Each time we have a boom in the cryptocurrency market, I do see a lot more interest from students,” says Andoni. Werbach remembers an “explosion in activity” during the 2017 ICO bubble. In contrast, these days he’s “not seeing a mass of students knocking on the door.” Walch goes even further. “To be honest, I’m sensing a little bit of a lull in the interest in blockchain education,” she says, adding that the slowdown could simply be due to the pandemic, quarantine, or the 5,000 other complications of 2020. Walch, who has been teaching blockchain since nearly the dawn of crypto time, also wonders who should count as an “expert” in this nascent field. “I really wrestle with who’s qualified to teach about these topics,” she says. “They’re incredibly multi-disciplinary, so claims of expertise have to be made with an asterisk.” Hunter Albright largely agrees, although he views that very ambiguity as one of the appealing challenges. “There are very few experts in general in this space,” he says. “Some of it is just a willingness to be sort of open and to discuss the ideas.” Albright is the first to admit he’s not the “end-all-be-all in terms of the knowledge,” but thinks the mark of a good blockchain professor is a blend of humility, curiosity and eagerness to en Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45, 10575.97, 10549.33, 10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

DeFi trading platforms like Uniswap, Curve and Balancer have appealed to cryptocurrency traders with their low cost and ease of use, and they’re now starting to steal a growing and no-longer-negligible share of market trading volumes from bigger, established exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Huobi and OKEx. These “centralized” exchanges – the term is sometimes tossed around with a sneer – are rolling out new business initiatives they describe as decentralized, in an apparent bid to cash in on the trend and stanch a further exodus of customers. Related: Ethereum’s Pending Transactions Jump 30% After Uniswap’s Token Claim Begins Huobi, a Chinese-led cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles, announced Tuesday it is adding 10 new members to its DeFi initiative, described as “a consortium of centralized and decentralized financial services providers.” The announcement came just a day after Huobi’s arch-rival, OKEx, which is also Chinese-led but based in Malta, said its OKxChain network was the most decentralized public blockchain powered by an exchange. And last week, Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, announced an integration of its centralized trading platform with its decentralized public blockchain, Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao even seemed to acknowledge the threat during his company’s recent “World of DeFi” summit , where he said, “It’s always better to disrupt yourself than having somebody else disrupt you first.” Running a decentralized exchange is cheaper, according to CZ.

In August, DEXs accounted for a 5% share of total crypto exchange volumes, according to a Sept. 14 report by the cryptocurrency-analysis firm Messari. The business is dominated by the “automated market makers” Uniswap, Curve and Balancer. “The exchange business has proven itself to be incredibly lucrative for crypto and automated market makers are starting to receive their slice of the pie,” Messari analyst Jack Purdy wrote in the report. Binance’s CZ said he will be “really happy on the day when decentralized exchanges replace centralized exchanges,” at least partly because the company’s BNB digital tokens “will be worth much more.” Su Zhu, CEO of the cryptocurrency-focused investment fund Three Arrows Capital, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message that centralized exchanges could still be a “gateway to DeFi, but not where users ultimately spend their time.” “The centralized exchanges will end up acting like a white label,” Zhu said. – Muyao Shen Read More: Binance, Huobi, OKEx Have FOMO for DeFi Bitcoin Watch Bitcoin’s dip remained well supported ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, due at 18:00 UTC. The cryptocurrency found buyers below $10,700 during the Asian trading hours, but so far has failed to cross Tuesday’s high of $10,940. The cryptocurrency may rise above the $11,000 mark if the Fed announces more stimulus measures, having cut rates to zero, launched asset purchase programs and signaled tolerance for high inflation earlier this year. Analysts, however, expect the Fed to maintain the status quo and reiterate willingness to do more if required. According to BK Asset Management’s Kathy Lien , the focus will be on the Fed’s inflation and growth forecasts. The dollar will likely draw bids, pushing gold and bitcoin lower, if the central bank raises growth forecasts. – Omkar Godbole Read More: All Eyes on Fed Reserve Rate Announcement, as Bitcoin Fights for $11K Token Watch Filecoin (FIL): Futures on decentralized data-storage network’s forthcoming token, currently at $18.50 in tether (USDT) terms, are trading “ well above our cost basis ,” investment firm Pantera Capital says.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.17% on Friday. Following on from a 2.39% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,071.0 It was another bearish start to the day. Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $10,853.1 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,666, Bitcoin rallied to a late morning intraday high $11,134.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,096 to visit $11,100 levels before easing back. It was Bitcoin’s first close out at $11,000 levels since 20 th September. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent pullback to sub-$11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Friday. Cardano’s ADA (+5.05%) and Chainlink (+8.89%) led the way. Binance Coin (+2.31%), Ethereum (4.04%), and Polkadot (+2.39%) weren’t far behind. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.47%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.79%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.86%), Litecoin (+1.23%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.68%) trailed the pack, however. In the current week, the crypto total market slid to a Wednesday low $322.55bn before rising to a Friday high $346.22bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $344.02bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.15% before rising to a Tuesday high 61.29%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.62%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.22% to $11,095.8. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $11,071.0 to a high $11,111.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Crypto.com Coin was down by 0.26% to buck the trend early in the day. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 2.29% to lead the way. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,019 to bring the first major resistance level at $11,186 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $11,134.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,300. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,019 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,905 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$10,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $10,739.

It identifies the psychological requirement for a free society. Most people today are deeply afraid of responsibility. Responsibility includes making decisions for oneself. One must identify and choose one's values, career, place of residence, etc.\n\nFor the majority today, this strikes fear: One's job is not guaranteed, learning new skills for employment is challenging, planning and making provisions for emergencies and periods of illness is uncertain, etc. At the root of this fear is a mistrust of one's self-efficacy, which can be further traced to bad philosophy that has accepted Immanuel Kant's tricky, but false, argument against self-efficacy and has permeated across all of our culture. But I digress.\n\nThis majority fear of responsibility seeds the corruption of the concept of individual rights. The concept of individual rights emerged from the recognition that in society, individuals may initiate force on each other. Thus, individual rights are freedoms from the initiation of force to do something. The right to life, liberty, property, and happiness means that one ought to pursue those things free from others initiating force.\n\nContrastly, individual rights are not entitlements. This is a critical distinction: Entitlements benefit some people at the expense of others' detriment; freedoms are absent of anyone's detriment. In order to fulfill an entitlement politically, it's enforced by initiating force: Someone is forced to fulfill another's entitlement because it's the law.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 2.14% on Saturday. Following on from a 1.17% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,308.0 It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rallied from an intraday low $11,071.0 to an early morning intraday high $11,505.0. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,186 and the second major resistance level at $11,300. Hitting resistance at $11,500, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$11,300 levels before finding support in the afternoon. A move back through to $11,400 levels was brief, however, with Bitcoin falling back to end the day at $11,300 levels. The second major resistance level at $11,300 delivered support late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Cardano’s ADA rallied by 3.65% to lead the way. Crypto.com Coin (+2.10%) and Litecoin (+2.26%) weren’t far behind. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.53%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.47%), Chainlink (+1.01%), Ethereum (1.48%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.36%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. Binance Coin (-0.04%) and Polkadot (-2.33%) bucked the trend on the day, however. In the current week, the crypto total market slid to a Wednesday low $322.55bn before rising to a Saturday high $357.46bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $350.08bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.15% before rising to a Tuesday high 61.29%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.04%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.49% to $11,363.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $11,297.0 before striking a high $11,402.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.83%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.39%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.39%), Chainlink (-1.14%), and Polkadot (-0.88%) saw red early on.. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 1.16% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,295 to bring the first major resistance level at $11,518 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,700 and the second major resistance level at $11,729. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,295 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,084 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$11,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $10,861.

The interest has created a new crypto hype that is more than just reminiscent of the 2017 ICO boom. As was the case back in 2017, there are a mass number of protocols hitting the crypto market. This time around, the focus has shifted away from the CeFi space to DeFi . Decentralized Finance, better known as DeFi has become the buzz word of 2020. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market delivered blockchain technology and decentralization. There was, however, an element of centralization in the CeFi space. Centralized finance became laden with governance and KYC/AML requirements and more in order to meet investor and government demands. DeFi, by contrast, currently stands as truly decentralized. With an ethos of Permissionless and Trustless, there is no actual governance. And, there are no KYC/AML requirements. In fact, to access decentralized finance all a user needs is a wallet. In concept alone, it is a mouthwatering prospect. True cryptocurrencies have yet to really make a dent in fiat money’s unwavering position as a primary payment source. When considering the unbanked, the disgruntled, and the anonymous, however, DeFi may well give the banking sector a run for its money. The Projects and the Returns As entrepreneurs and scam artists enter the world of DeFi, a number of protocols have caught the eye amidst the mist… While there are no guarantees that these protocols will be here tomorrow, there is the hope and with it the dream of incredible earnings potential. Based on DeFi market caps from Coingecko , some of the more promising protocols that have enjoyed early success. These include: Chainlink (“LINK”) Chainlink sits at the top of the DeFi coin charts at the time of writing. Not only is Chainlink at the top of the DeFi list, but Chainlink’s meteoric rise has also seen it join the crypto giants in the top 10 by market. CoinMarketCap has Chainlink currently sitting at number 8, impressively outgunning the likes of Litecoin… Story continues Year-to-date return: 473.2% to the end of day 28 th September 2020. What’s the hype? With DeFi driven by smart contracts, Chainlink connects smart contracts to data sources. Additionally, users can send payments from a smart contract to bank accounts and payment networks. Dai Dai sits at number 3 on the DeFi market cap table and is ranked at number 25 on the CoinMarket Cap. Year-to-date: Investors will have missed gains from elsewhere, however, with Dai up by just 2.02%. Why the lowly return? Dai is decentralized and backed by collateral. In other words, Dai is a stablecoin and as such, looks to maintain a value of $1.00.

This means any investor with access to U.S. securities can access Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin without having to buy and store them directly. According to the announcement, shares of both trusts will be available for trading on over-the-counter (OTC) markets under the symbols BCGG (Bitcoin Cash) and LTCN (Litecoin). Up until this point, these trusts did not trade publicly. The shares were only available to institutional and accredited investors through private placement offerings, Grayscale Managing Director Michael Sonnenshein told The Block. "Grayscale’s products have built-in security and storage, audited financials, and provide tax reporting. They’re titled securities and eligible for investment through tax-advantaged accounts. So, it’s exciting to give investors the opportunity to access Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin directly from their brokerage account or invest from their retirement account," Sonnenshein said. The trusts are sponsored by Grayscale and have offered private placements to investors since March 2018. © 2020 The Block Crypto, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

DeFi trading platforms like Uniswap, Curve and Balancer have appealed to cryptocurrency traders with their low cost and ease of use, and they’re now starting to steal a growing and no-longer-negligible share of market trading volumes from bigger, established exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Huobi and OKEx. These “centralized” exchanges – the term is sometimes tossed around with a sneer – are rolling out new business initiatives they describe as decentralized, in an apparent bid to cash in on the trend and stanch a further exodus of customers. Related:Ethereum’s Pending Transactions Jump 30% After Uniswap’s Token Claim Begins Huobi, a Chinese-led cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles, announced Tuesday it is adding 10 new members to its DeFi initiative, described as “a consortium of centralized and decentralized financial services providers.” The announcement came just a day after Huobi’s arch-rival, OKEx, which is also Chinese-led but based in Malta, said its OKxChain network was the most decentralized public blockchain powered by an exchange. And last week, Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, announced anintegrationof its centralized trading platform with its decentralized public blockchain, Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao even seemed to acknowledge the threatduring his company’s recent “World of DeFi” summit, where he said, “It’s always better to disrupt yourself than having somebody else disrupt you first.” Running a decentralized exchange is cheaper, according to CZ. Related:Uniswap Launches Governance Token in Bid to Keep Up With Rival AMM SushiSwap And OKEx CEO Jay Hao told CoinDesk in an email that “it’s impossible to ignore the compelling promise of DeFi, and we are firm believers that it will succeed.” Charts ofbitcoinheld at big exchanges show declining balances over the past several weeks, and Simon Chen of the Hong Kong-based crypto trading firm Babel Finance says one likely explanation is that some of the cryptocurrency is getting transferred to DeFi. In August, DEXs accounted for a 5% share of total crypto exchange volumes, according to a Sept. 14 report by the cryptocurrency-analysis firm Messari. The business is dominated by the “automated market makers” Uniswap, Curve and Balancer. “The exchange business has proven itself to be incredibly lucrative for crypto and automated market makers are starting to receive their slice of the pie,” Messari analyst Jack Purdy wrote in the report. Binance’s CZ said he will be “really happy on the day when decentralized exchanges replace centralized exchanges,” at least partly because the company’s BNB digital tokens “will be worth much more.” Su Zhu, CEO of the cryptocurrency-focused investment fund Three Arrows Capital, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message that centralized exchanges could still be a “gateway to DeFi, but not where users ultimately spend their time.” “The centralized exchanges will end up acting like a white label,” Zhu said. – Muyao ShenRead More:Binance, Huobi, OKEx Have FOMO for DeFi Bitcoin’s dip remained well supported ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, due at 18:00 UTC. The cryptocurrency found buyers below $10,700 during the Asian trading hours, but so far has failed to cross Tuesday’s high of $10,940. The cryptocurrency may rise above the $11,000 mark if the Fed announces more stimulus measures, having cut rates to zero, launched asset purchase programs and signaled tolerance for high inflation earlier this year. Analysts, however, expect the Fed to maintain the status quo and reiterate willingness to do more if required. According toBK Asset Management’s Kathy Lien, the focus will be on the Fed’s inflation and growth forecasts. The dollar will likely draw bids, pushing gold and bitcoin lower, if the central bank raises growth forecasts. – Omkar Godbole Read More:All Eyes on Fed Reserve Rate Announcement, as Bitcoin Fights for $11K Filecoin (FIL):Futures on decentralized data-storage network’s forthcoming token, currently at $18.50 in tether (USDT) terms, are trading “well above our cost basis,” investment firm Pantera Capital says.

Today's Key News: ["International financial authorities and 20 of the world’s largest economies are establishing official standards for regulating and issuing sovereign digital currencies. The Group of Twenty (G20) – an organization of finance ministers and central bank governors representing the European Union and 19 countries across every continent – said in a report Tuesday it is working with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) to formalize the use of central bank digital currencies (CBDC) in banking systems. According to the report, by the end of 2022 the G20 members, the IMF, the World Bank and the BIS will have completed regulatory stablecoin frameworks and research and selection of CBDC designs, technologies and experiments. Related: How Investors Are Trading the Election Stablecoins are digital currencies that are often linked to physical currencies such ad the U.S. dollar. The IMF and the World Bank will have the technical capabilities to facilitate CBDC transactions involving the countries by the end of 2025, the report said. The countries will “examine the scope for new multilateral platforms, global stablecoin arrangements and central bank digital currencies to address the challenges that cross-border payments face without compromising on minimum supervisory and regulatory standards to control risks to monetary and financial stability,” said the G20 Financial Stability Board (FSB), a body formed after the 2008 financial crisis. Multinational alliances The G20 roadmap on stablecoins follows a joint report released by seven central banks last week through the BIS in sketching out a transnational front around nationalized digital currencies. Last week’s report, authored by the United States Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of England (BOE), the Swiss National Bank, Sweden’s Sveriges Riksbank and the Bank of Japan (BOJ), outlined properties the central banks would require from CBDCs in their countries.

CBDC systems should also connect to legacy financial technologies, settle high volumes of transactions instantaneously around the clock, be impervious to cyberattacks and outages, and comply with regulations and monitoring that apply to money already in circulation and that retain central bank power, the report said. CBDCs could improve cross-border payments, counter Facebook libra-like corporate digital currencies and transfer emergency fund payments to consumers during the coronavirus pandemic, the report said. But CBDCs would not be anonymous and self-running, the report said, diverging from the virtual currencies whose distributed ledger technology they would borrow. Bitcoin transactions run on a blockchain network that masks and silos personal data from central actors, while central banks would maintain access and visibility into CBDC payments and identities. The ECB and the BOJ also stated this month they were looking into issuing CBDCs. An ECB report said a decision to issue a digital euro would be announced next April. BOJ officials have said digital yen experiments are starting in the spring and called for a concerted effort to match China’s digital yuan, the most expansive central bank digital currency being trialed yet.

Top shelf Bitcoin buy MicroStrategy, a business intelligence company, told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday it “may increase” its BTC holdings beyond the $250 million haul purchased in August. The morning after: it did. Microstrategy has acquired an additional $175 million worth of BTC in a single purchase. These blockbuster buys transformed much of MicroStrategy’s cash reserves into bitcoin , placing the Nasdaq-traded firm among Wall Street’s most notable bitcoin bulls. Future allocations would continue down the treasury allocation path. On Sept. 11, the board formally recognized bitcoin as MicroStrategy’s “primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis.” Binance abets? Binance has been accused of “aiding and abetting” the theft of $60 million in cryptocurrency in 2018. Crypto exchange Zaif, now called Fisco, has said hackers transferred 1,451 bitcoin (~$9.4 million at the time) to an address belonging to Binance and used the exchange’s minimal know-your-customer and trading procedures to launder the money. The exchange is now seeking repayment for the allegedly laundered funds and other damages. Interestingly, Fisco is bringing the case in a California district court in part because “critical components” of Binance’s business, such as its AWS servers, are located in the U.S. state.

An updated Chinese business registration record shows co-founder Jihan Wu is once again legal representative and executive director of the bitcoin (BTC) miner maker giant, replacing rival co-founder Micree Zhan. CoinDesk’s Wolfie Zhou has reported Zhan was ousted from the company last October but regained control earlier this year. He remains a general manager of the firm, according to the business record. “Since 2020, the management’s feud has damaged Bitmain’s market shares and its brand image. We have lost customers and employees were forced to take sides,” Bitmain said in a post. While it seems things are settling down, the two co-founders are still engaged in a legal battle in the Cayman Island courts. Goodbye market “Increasingly strict” regulations are to blame of Paxful’s decision to pull out of the Venezeulan crypto market, according to a video tweeted Monday. The P2P exchange has suspended account creation and has said existing users will have 30 days to withdraw their funds. Paxful was Venezuela’s second-largest P2P outlet, CoinDesk’ Danny Nelson reports, adding the nation’s crypto traders heavily favor P2P crypto exchanges like market leader LocalBitcoins over government-approved alternatives. Rampant inflation, unbanked population and high mobile phone usage have long appealed to the company, CEO Ray Youssef said, but ultimately local regulations and U.S. sanctions prevailed. Story continues Testy about tether The New York Attorney General’s office is losing patience with Bitfinex and Tether in a long-simmering legal battle. NYAG Senior Enforcement Counsel John Castiglione filed a letter Monday calling for the crypto firms to comply with a 17-month-old document production order detailing financial information within the next two months. The watchdog is looking for communications about Tether’s loans, loans to third parties and a list of U.S. or New York customers who had funds on Crypto Capital, a bank allegedly at the center of the investigation into the loss of $1 billion in customer funds. Defendants responded saying the injunction was overly broad, saying asking for information about all tethers is like “asking GM for all documents about cars.” Quick bites Nigeria’s SEC Says All Crypto Assets Are Securities by Default (Paddy Baker/CoinDesk) Brock Pierce Served Court Papers for Fraud Lawsuit at His Own Presidential Campaign Rally (Sebastian Sinclair/CoinDesk) Thai Central Bank’s New Blockchain-Enabled Bond Infrastructure Passes Test With $1.6B Bond Sale (Jaspreet Kalra/CoinDesk) Top Banks Lose $635 Billion in Market Cap During 2020 (Shaurya Malwa/Decrypt) Measuring Bitcoin’s Decentralization (Coin Metrics) At stake File away? Filecoin, the much-anticipated distributed file sharing protocol, is nearing its mainnet launch. Related: Blockchain Bites: Big Bitcoin Bets, SushiSwap Drops, bZx Attacked After years of development, funded by a $257 million initial coin offering in 2017, the project that looks to unseat the dominant cloud services business – Amazon, Microsoft and Google – and content delivery networks like Cloudflare is targeting mid-September for launch. CoinDesk’s Brady Dale reports Filecoin is entering the fray as data hosting costs only continue to drop, potentially endangering the protocol’s business model. But Juan Benet, Filecoin’s creator, has a longer-term vision for the development of the internet. Specifically, the project is wagering there will be increasing demand for a new type of data storage: redundant, immutable and radically accessible. “Unlike centralized cloud storage services, which back up data in ways clients can’t change or verify, Filecoin allows clients to easily express their own preferences for reliability and cost,” a new document released ahead of the network launch, “Engineering Filecoin’s Economy,” explains. Dale breaks down the economic mechanics that might make Filecoin a real competitor. This includes paying rewards for miners that secure the network and host the distributed data, ensuring that everything on the network has an upfront cost and treating all data as unique bits (known as content addressing). “Mining on Filecoin is largely about providing storage space using traditional storage systems. This is commodity hardware. Almost anyone with an internet connection can participate,” Dale writes. While Filecoin has been beset by delays in the past, a growing enthusiasm in China and the success of its testnet may point to a successful launch. Market intel Cautiously bullish Bitcoin (BTC) has crossed into bullish territory, but prices remain vulnerable to a potential sell-off in stocks, CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole reports. The leading cryptocurrency jumped above $10,700 on Monday, confirming an upside break of 10-day-long price consolidation. While the breakout has exposed resistances at $11,000–$11,200, Matthew Dibb, co-founder and COO of Stack Funds, said it’s too early to call an end of the price pullback from August highs above $12,400. “Previous sell-offs have been exacerbated by risk-off momentum in stocks, particularly the tech-heavy Nasdaq index,” Dibb told CoinDesk. “We remain cautiously bullish this week.” DeFi index Data company DeFi Pulse and investment-minded Set Protocol have created a permissionless index of top performing DeFi tokens, called the DeFiPulse Index. The weighted index, similar to the S&P 500, offers exposure to the booming DeFi field through one token, called DPI, which will track LEND, YFI, COMP, SNX, MKR, REN, KNC, LRC, BAL and REP. That order is arranged from the largest portion of the index (LEND at 18.3%) to the smallest (REP at 1.63%). The token is available on Uniswap, Set’s TokenSets, Zapper, Argent, Dharma and others. Tech pod Bitcoin smart contracts A new Bitcoin smart contract-enabling protocol developed by the Lightning Network Protocol and Bitcoin Protocol (LNP/BP) Standards Association is now in beta. Called RGB, the network could be used to issue tokenize securities and nonfungible tokens (NFT), and to offer a more private means of stablecoin issuance and transfer on the most popular blockchain. One of its architects, Giacomo Zucco, said it could also help outfit Bitcoin with the tokenizing capabilities that have made Ethereum the go-to blockchain for issuing tokenized assets like securities, collectibles, crypto dollars and more. Op-ed Oracles and enterprise Paul Brody, a Principal and Global Blockchain Leader at EY, thinks oracles can become a real part of the traditional business practices, but enterprises need third-party – read: auditors – access first. “Oracles are of immense importance to the future of blockchain commerce ecosystems. We cannot develop large-scale commerce without trusted inputs. We will need, however, to accommodate multiple approaches to certifying information, including ones that lean on off-chain judgement and verification, not just clever algorithms,” he writes.

All rights reserved.', 'ZUG, Switzerland, Oct. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --viaCryptoCurrencyWire--Alien Worlds (alienworlds.io), the NFT DeFi metaverse created by the team that pioneered the decentralised autonomous community (DAC) and tokenised block producer eosDAC, has sold out its inaugural NFT sale in the first-ever Dutch auction on the WAX Blockchain.\nAlien Worlds is the only NFT DeFi project cross-denominated on both Ethereum and WAX. Gamers farm the metaversal ERC-20 token, Trilium, using NFT land and tools. NFT cards confer gameplay advantages in mining and fighting, and power is expressed by participants staking the ERC-20 Trilium token to planets, each of which is a DAC with dedicated elected leadership.\nThe Alien Worlds inaugural Dutch NFT auction concluded on Oct. 10, 2020, and allowed gamers to secure Launch Packs at a range of prices. Launch Packs sold out well in advance of the conclusion of the auction, which was scheduled to run for 24 hours.\nBuyers opined on purchasing strategies in the active Alien Worlds Telegram channel during the lively auction and are keenly awaiting the four additional Alien Worlds NFT pack sales that will occur this autumn. Buyers paid the opening Dutch auction prices to secure “first mints,” which are popular among NFT collectors due to their ultra-rarity. As prices moved down through the price range, auction participants were determined to secure Alien Worlds NFT cards with better stats, which make mining and fighting more lucrative within the metaverse and which can later be “shined” for even greater gameplay efficiency.\nThe upcoming NFT auction schedule will be:\n• Oct. 23: Rare Pack Sale – 4,000 packs with greater probabilities of receiving Rare-type cards and some special cards reserved for this sale.\n• Nov. 6: Legendary Pack Sale – 3,000 packs with greater probabilities of receiving Legendary-type cards.\n• Nov. 20: eosDAC Pack Sale – Sale for eosDAC tokens with bonus probabilities.\n• Dec. 4: Special Land Pack Sale – The only chance to obtain Land NFTs.\nThe auctions take place on theAlien Worlds Sales websiteand offer parallel supply on Ethereum and WAX. NFT holders from Ethereum communities like Decentraland, Gods Unchained, Sandbox, RARI and Axie, as well as the growing WAX-based NFT communities, participate in tandem. Alien Worlds NFTs are available in the upcoming auction series, but the fungible Trilium token can only be obtained in-game through play. Alien Worlds co-founder and blockchain lead Michael Yeates has innovated the first cross-chain Ethereum-WAX methodology, which allows the fungible Trilium token to be recorded and transacted simultaneously across both blockchains.\n“The success of Alien Worlds’ first auction tells me our community understands how NFTs complement DeFi so synergistically,” said Alien Worlds co-founder Rob Allen. “People love NFTs because they are digital items you can use in gameplay and collect. People love DeFi because it’s an emerging application of blockchain through which we find sources of potential earnings and arrange those directly with peers. Within Alien Worlds there’s a home for both, because our project relies on both NFTs and the decentralised autonomous community or DAC structure, which allows users to decide how earnings are apportioned.”\nSince Ethereum is the home of DeFi and WAX is “the King of NFTs,” Alien Worlds sits at the crossroads of these advances in blockchain by being the first and only cross-denominated project. To strengthen this conjunction, Alien Worlds is reaching out to highly invested Ethereum NFT enthusiasts. The project has dropped Promo Packs of NFTs onto the top 6,400 NFT holders in Decentraland, RARI, Gods Unchained, Sandbox and Axie. Users can check if theymade the cutand claim their Promo Packs via alienworlds.io. Alien Worlds is also seekingETH Ambassadorsto help spread the word.\n“We’re excited to see how the community evolves this project, particularly in terms of ‘planets,’” said co-founder Sarojini McKenna. “Users choose where to stake their Trilium, and a planet with more Trilium staked to it will receive more rewards, which that planet can decide how to use – including paying its backers. The fact that each planet is its own DAC makes this truly decentralised, which we know from experience leads to an abundance of energy and creativity; wonderful things you never could have foreseen start happening.”\nAlien Worlds is set in a future in which some of Earth’s inhabitants have discovered a way to escape the raging pandemics on Earth through a wormhole revealed to them by an advanced alien race, which sent messages through Bitcoin mining algorithms. To build a fairer economy, everything in the Alien Worlds metaverse was tokenised.\nNow, the Alien Worlds “Star Route” or roadmap, published on the project’s website, includes the launch of the beta Unity user interface, the opening of the “shining” functionality in which NFTs can be combined to create rarer items, and the commencement of battling using NFT weapons and minions in the Thunder Dome. Further developments in the metaversal narrative arc, sometimes precipitated by guidance from an Ancient Alien AI, will be ongoing.\nAbout Alien Worlds(alienworlds.io): Alien Worlds is a smart-contract decentralised metaverse combining DeFi farming with NFT card-based strategy play. Alien Worlds has partnered with a game engineering studio to create the metaversal UI, which will call blockchain commands seamlessly so anyone can explore, earn, battle and stake in Alien Worlds.

South Korean outfit W.T.C cruised to a convincing victory at the main event "BTC Troop Showdown", reaping a massive 35 BTC top prize. The competition was powered by Bybit, and drew 135 teams and 12,368 participating traders from around the world to contend with their peers in the main event BTC Troop Showdown and individual event USDT Solo Throwdown. Participants successfully unlocked a 100 BTC prize pool in BTC Troop Showdown, and an additional 90,000 USDT price pool in USDT Solo Throwdown.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.60% on Thursday. Following a 0.02% decline on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,509.0. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $11,277 before making a move. The morning pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $11,311. Finding support going into the afternoon, however, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $11,632. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,566 before falling back to sub-$11,500 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through to $11,500 levels to end the day in the green. Resistance at $11,500 continued to peg Bitcoin back, however. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Binance Coin (+1.69%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.04%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Polkadot led the way down, falling by 3.00%. Chainlink (-1.20%), and Ripple’s XRP (-1.23%) also struggled. Cardano’s ADA (-0.36%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.29%), Ethereum (-0.28%), and Litecoin (-0.46%) saw relatively modest losses on the day.

(TSXV:HIVE)(OTCQX:HVBTF)(FSE:HBF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") announces its results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated). The Company\'s Management will host a webcast on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 10:00 am Eastern Time to discuss the Company\'s financial results. Click here to register for the webcast. "The first quarter marked an important period of transition for HIVE as we completed the assumption of direct control of our data centre operations from our former strategic partner and diversified our operations through the acquisition of our data centre facility in Canada to complement our Ethereum mining data centres in Europe, all of which are powered by green energy, which produce coins such as Ethereum and Bitcoin continuously in the cloud" said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE. "Our gross mining margins from Ethereum mining increased during the quarter due to the combination of an increase in our mining output of Ethereum and our lower cost to mine Ethereum, which has been driven by a significant reduction in energy costs in Sweden and lower operating cost structure in Iceland achieved through our assumption of direct control of these operations. "As the largest public miner of Ethereum, this improvement in operational efficiency proved beneficial as Ethereum prices have risen through the year, and the explosion of DeFi applications usage on the Ethereum network drove a significant increase in the fees paid to miners over the summer and resulted in a record amount of Ethereum mined for HIVE during the most recent quarter ending September 30. "We have been utilizing the resulting positive cash flows from our Ethereum mining to support our Bitcoin mining operations as it continues to scale up with next generation mining equipment post the halving of Bitcoin rewards in May. Story continues "We have also undertaken a program to upgrade and expand our GPU equipment to maintain our Ethereum mining industry footprint. We are hopeful to complete this project by the end of 2020 though the negative impact on the global supply chain related to the COVID-19 pandemic does present challenges including increased shipping costs, obtaining equipment from China on a timely basis, and preventing the movement of technical teams across our locations in Europe. We will keep shareholders updated on our progress in our next quarterly update, anticipated near the end of November."

Justin Suns controversial project is now more than 302% up from its yearly low of $0.0086 in March, with it currently commanding a valuation of $0.0337. Earlier this week TRX, which has a market cap of $2.4 billion , surged to a high of $0.0497 in spite of a wider market sell-off that saw Bitcoin fall to as low as $9,910. While there has been some confusion as to why TRX rose while the rest of the market sold-off, the reason is connected to the recent rise in popularity and optimism around decentralised finance (DeFi). TRXUSD chart by TradingView With the vast majority of DeFi activity and yield farming is taking place on Ethereum, Tron founder Justin Sun has launched JustSwap, a token exchange protocol on Trons blockchain. In spite of its critics, Tron does boast fairly quick transactions with low fees, especially compared to the mounting Ethereum gas costs of late. This may lead to a potential exodus from those currently capitalising on the DeFi wave on the Ethereum chain, with more reliability being offer on the Tron chain. In terms of TRXs chart, it remains in a clear uptrend but needs to ensure it continues trading above the $0.0319 level of resistance turned support.

The New York-based firm was founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who after claiming Mark Zuckerberg took their idea for a social-networking website to start Facebook Inc., moved on to become entrepreneurs in the digital-asset industry. Gemini will now let U.K. consumers buy products with Bitcoin using regular debit cards as a funding source. Investors in cryptocurrency will similarly be able to fund digital wallets via bank payments such as CHAPS, without incurring foreign exchange fees. “London is one of the birthplaces of modern finance, and has a rich tradition of regulation, but also fosters an environment of innovation,” Tyler Winklevoss said in an interview, adding that regulation and trust are central to the operation of an exchange like Gemini for consumers. Bitcoin has been highly volatile since its 2009 debut, with few institutional investors seeing it as a viable long-term bet. Gemini will be secure, and offer protection against fraud and money laundering, the company said in a statement Thursday. In Europe, Gemini will have to compete against a slew of players, some of them regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as well. In August, the U.K. regulator also approved Archax, an exchange that is due to launch in the fourth quarter. The agency said that all crypto exchanges operating in the country have to register by Jan. 10, 2021. But for now, Gemini is in a select club of registered firms, and it’s also already operational. Gemini is also in the licensing process in Singapore, Winklevoss said. On its home turf, Gemini faces off against its much-bigger rival, Coinbase Inc. It’s also a small exchange internationally, where crypto exchanges located in more loosely regulated jurisdictions rule.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.44% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 1.62% fall from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,375.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $11,290.0 before striking a mid-morning high $11,388.0. Leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $11,275.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,176, Bitcoin hit a mid-afternoon intraday high $11,418.0 before easing back. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,511, Bitcoin fell back to end the day at sub-$11,400 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.52%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.19%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.91%), and Litcoin (-1.49%) saw red on the day.. Binance Coin (+0.53%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.61%), Chainlink (+0.31%), Ethereum (+0.80%), Polkadot (+1.16%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.17%) joined Bitcoin in the green. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $365.23bn before falling to a Friday low $343.10. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $350.42bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.47% before rising to a Friday high 60.45%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.19%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.14% to $11,391.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning high $11,364.9 before rising to a high $11,410.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 0.35% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Binance Coin was up by 1.40% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,356 to bring the first major resistance level at $11,437 back into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $11,418.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,499. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,356 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,294 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$11,200 levels. The second major support level at $11,213 should limit any downside.

Roadblocks To EV Adoption Electric vehicles are plagued by the problem of poor range and the lack of a distributed charging infrastructure versus their fossil fuel competitors.

A paper published by International Finance Corporation in 2018 noted that the EV sector was one of the five top applications for blockchain to aid in the renewable energy push. Blockchain's utility lies in enabling p2p transactions without the need for a centralized intermediary — in this case, EV makers and EV charging infrastructure providers. Story continues Some startups have devised a solution that could provide an immediate boost to EV adoption: the introduction of an alternative peer-to-peer electric vehicle charging.

The U.S. multinational food, snack and beverage corporation, PepsiCo is set to reportthird-quarter 2020 results on Thursday, October 1, before market open. “We continue to like Pepsi longer-term with a pronounced mix shift to the more attractive snacks business over the last few years with strong underlying fundamentals (even ex-COVID) now at more than two-thirds of corporate profit, with both robust, sustained snacks category growth, as well as PEP’s strong competitive positioning and share gains within snacks. We also see PepsiCo’s (PEP) growth outlook and underlying EPS quality as higher with greater reinvestment under a new CEO,” Morgan Stanley’s Dara Mohsenian said. “Last, we believe PepsiCo’s valuation remains compelling, with PepsiCo trading one standard deviation below its 5-year NTM relative P/E average vs mega-cap peers and only at a 3% EV/EBITDA premium to food peers, despite much higher LT revenue growth potential (4% at PEP LT vs 2% at food peers), as well as higher margins/ROIC (see PEP Valuation Looks Compelling section below for more detail).” Morgan Stanley forecast PEP organic sales growth to be driven by its snacks business, and a topline recovery in emerging markets, as well as a sequential improvement in on-premise beverages. In North America, they forecast a solid +6.5% organic sales growth at Frito-Lay North America (FLNA); +7.2% growth at Quaker Foods North America (QFNA); -1.0% decline at Pepsi Beverages North America (PBNA). For the international business, the investment bank forecast +8.6% y-o-y organic sales growth in APAC on China recovering, +2.5% in Europe with on-premise improving and favourable summer weather, +1.5% in Latin America, and -2.3% in AMESA (Africa, Middle East, South Asia) on a slower recovery, particularly in India. PepsiCo stock closed 3.30% higher at $137.97 on Monday. The stock is up about 1% so far this year. Several other equity analysts have also updated their stock outlook. Jefferies raised their target price to $139 from $137; JP Morgan lowered their stock price forecast to $149 from $154; UBS raised the price target to $140 from $136; Deutsche bank upped their price objective to $140 from $139 and Guggenheim raised their target price to $151 from $148. Eleven analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $144.64 with a high forecast of $155.00 and a low forecast of $130.00. The average price target represents a 4.83% increase from the last price of $137.97. From those 11 equity analysts, six rated ‘Buy’, five rated ‘Hold’ and none rated ‘Sell’, according to Tipranks. “PepsiCo is our top beverage pick. We forecast Pepsi will post superior topline growth relative to peers driven by exposure to the higher growth/higher margin snacks category (2/3 of PEP’s profit). Snacks is a higher growth category given: (1) shift to snacking vs. sit-down meals; (2) less pressure from health/wellness vs. beverages, and (3) PEP’s leading share in snacks vs. fragmented competition, driving share gains, and higher margins/ROIC,” Morgan Stanley’s Mohsenian said. “We also see more structural Pepsi market share benefits post COVID-19, as PEP uses its DSD distribution advantage, to gain shelf space and share in snacks, and in beverages, where PEP is advantaged vs competition with a much lower mix in away-from-home.” Upside risks: Higher FLNA snacks topline growth, improving North America beverages business on higher investment spend and on-premise recovery, better GM expansion on favourable commodities/better pricing, and higher cost savings from restructuring. Downside risks: Lower return from PEP’s reinvestment, macro volatility, commodity and FX volatility, greater COVID impacts, worse market share trends in beverages, soda taxes.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish day on Tuesday.

But the U.S.-regulated crypto derivatives exchange is holding out hope its dormant options platform will eventually gain traction. Trading volumes for physically settledbitcoinfutures on Bakkt rose to $134 million on Tuesday from a previous high of $132 million on July 28, according to crypto derivatives data firm Skew. Bakkt went live last September. “The market recognizes the value that a regulated physically delivered bitcoin future offers for hedging and risk management and speculation,” White told CoinDesk in a phone interview on Aug. 26. Related:Bitcoin Options Open Interest Nears All Time High – But Rise in Puts Could Presage Drop This has been part of thesignificant growthin bitcoin’s derivative market as a whole, after the cryptocurrency’s price went above $11,000. Despite the recent surge on Bakkt’s bitcoin futures trading volumes, it still lags behind the Chicago-based CME Group, a bigger, U.S.-regulated exchange. Data from Skew shows the aggregated daily volumes of bitcoin futures on Bakkt and the CME were at $279 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, on Monday. Compared with many offshore, unregulated exchanges that have taken the majority of the bitcoin futures market share, White said Bakkt has the advantage of being based in the U.S. and owned by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which also owns the New York Stock Exchange. “We are a fully regulated intermediated traditional futures market. Contrast that with the offshore unregulated markets that you see trading on a lot of crypto exchanges,” he said. Related:Bitcoin Ends July at Highest Monthly Close Since 2017 Peak The crypto derivatives provider launched its bitcoin futures contractsin late 2019with the goal of serving its institutional clients, who range from market makers and proprietary trading firms to family offices and traditional hedge funds, according to White. At the same time, unlike the CME, Bakkt’s bitcoin futures contracts are mostly settled with physically delivered bitcoin, meaning buyers receive tokens at expiration instead of cash. Some U.S. institutions are only allowed to trade on regulated exchanges. Thus, if they want to get into crypto, they have two choices: Bakkt or the CME, because exchanges such as Coinbase are licensed but unregulated in the U.S. For those who want to hold their bitcoin in their hands, Bakkt is basically the only game in town. White said the physical delivery of bitcoin puts Bakkt at advantage because the exchange is seeing more clients interested in receiving crypto assets. Read more:It’s Too Soon to Write Off Bakkt, Wall Street Analyst Tells ICE Investors “It’s not a bet on the price of bitcoin,” he said. “It doesn’t rely on an index price created from unregulated spot markets that are self-reporting their data.” In addition, White said that as the market grows, more traditional institutional investors are becoming “comfortable” with holding and trading crypto assets, which is evidenced by Bakkt’s increasing market share. However, other industry experts have said physical delivery of bitcoin could be the one factor that has been hindering Bakkt’s growth in the crypto derivatives market. According to Norwegian cryptocurrency analysis firmArcane Research, the number of bitcoin contracts held to expiry on Bakkt dropped sharply in July, to 58 BTC from June’s 221 BTC – the lowest amount held to expiry so far in 2020. Compared with a cash settlement, physical delivery of bitcoin could impose a tighter margin, Vishal Shah, an options trader and founder of derivative exchange Alpha5, told CoinDesk via Telegram. Despite the success with its bitcoin futures products, Bakkt seems to be still struggling with its options contracts. No volume or open interest have been loggedsince June 15in Bakkt’s bitcoin options. Both futures and options contracts on CME aresettled with cash. Meanwhile, CME’s bitcoin options contracts contributed about 10% to the total global open interest on Tuesday, second behind Deribit, who accounted for 80% of the market. Open interest is the number of outstanding contracts. White shrugs off concerns about Bakkt’s options products, saying the crypto options market as a whole has a long way to go before it matures. Read more:Bitcoin Options Open Interest Nears All Time High – But Rise in Puts Could Presage Drop “When people ask, ‘Aren’t you worried about your options volumes?’ Absolutely not,” White said. “These are the early innings. Most of the options volume is happening offshore, unregulated, not cleared and, frankly, we’re not even sure how much of that volume is legitimate.” White is banking on growing trading volumes and open interest Bakkt’s futures products to eventually draw customers to its options suite, and is therefore not planning on delisting options contracts anytime soon. “As the institutions move into the futures, their hedging and risk management needs will evolve towards options, and we are going to be there ready to serve them,” White said. • Bakkt Futures Volume Up on Institutional Trading; Its President Slams Offshore Options • Bakkt Futures Volume Up on Institutional Trading; Its President Slams Offshore Options... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Read more: Chinese Police Probe Halts Withdrawals at Crypto Giant OKEx Hours later, blockchain developer Zulu Republic -- along with liquidity provider Alameda Research and crypto trading community Whalepool -- created a way for institutional investors to sell their OKEx deposits for a token representing Bitcoin or Tether on the Ethereum blockchain. A user gets one token for every OKEx Bitcoin deposited into the venture’s OKEx account. The token currently trades for about 93 cents on the dollar on the Uniswap exchange. “My guess is if they were expecting withdrawals to resume tomorrow, they’d tell us,” said Sam Bankman-Fried, Alameda’s chief executive officer, adding that he believes no funds have been moved or stolen. “There’s not been a lot of guidance on what to expect. I think sentiment is weeks to months when withdrawals will open up.” Within the first hour of the token’s availability, five institutional investors reached out to the venture, which charges a 1% fee on the swap plus a fee for a regulatory check, Zulu CEO Daniele Sestagalli said in an interview. Users wishing to swap back to their OKEx accounts -- if the exchange unfreezes withdrawals, for instance -- have to pay a 1% fee as well. The minimum order amount is 100 Bitcoin, he said. Bitcoin is currently trading around $13,000. Traders need to visit Isaidno.ooo to join the waiting list for withdrawal approval. OKEx halted withdrawals last week after Chinese police launched an investigation linked to it. OKG Technology Holdings Ltd. -- whose controlling shareholder, Xu Mingxing, is also the founder of OKEx -- said in a Hong Kong stock exchange filing Oct. 18 it has been informed Xu is under investigation by public security authorities in China. OKG said it hasn’t reached Xu to confirm he is being investigated and the group wasn’t subject to any government probe in China to the best of the board’s knowledge. Story continues In an earlier statement, OKEx said an unidentified staffer responsible for users’ private keys -- accounts where coins are stored -- has been “out of touch” while cooperating with a police investigation, the Malta-based exchange said in an Oct. 16 release.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.39%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.94%), and Ripple’s XPR (+0.20%) found support early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 1.28% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,538. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $10,492.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $10,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,617. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,333 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,200. The second major support level at $10,207 should limit any downside.

All rights reserved.", 'Bitcoin prices surged earlier in the week after PayPal jumped into the cryptocurrency business, but not everyone in the crypto industry is thrilled with the news.\nPayPal is planning to launch its own cryptocurrency service, allowing people to buy, hold and sell digital currency on its site and applications. The move by the online payments company marked a significant milestone on the path to mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. The reception by bitcoin investors was mostly positive as prices rose 5% on the news.\nThe efficiency, speed and resilience of cryptocurrencies give people financial inclusion and access advantages, said PayPal President and CEO Dan Schulman, who described the eventual shift from physical to digital currencies as ‘inevitable.’\nOur global reach, digital payments expertise, two-sided network, and rigorous security and compliance controls provide us with the opportunity, and the responsibility, to help facilitate the understanding, redemption and interoperability of these new instruments of exchange,” Schulman said in a statement.\nCointelegraph.com wrote, “While many in the industry were pleased with Bitcoin’s surge past $13,200 following an announcement that PayPal intends to integrate crypto into its network, some fail to see any benefit beyond the immediate price movement.”\nAccording to an October 21 blog post from Satoshi Labs, the team behind the crypto hardware wallet Trezor, PayPal’s push to start selling Bitcoin (BTC), is ‘probably not because they want to spur healthy adoption.” Their arguments are similar to ones made by many crypto holders against storing digital assets on exchanges, i.e. “not your keys, not your coins.”\n“If millions of newcomers are on boarded to Bitcoin by PayPal, there could be a very serious information gap that jeopardizes their experience and undermines key principles of cryptocurrency,” stated the blog post by SatoshiLabs. “No one should consider money held entirely by a third party as owned by them. Time after time, exchanges have lost user funds, often leaving them with no recourse.”\n“Long-term, if PayPal proceeds without consulting the community and letting their users control their own keys, it offers no value to the space. The greatest risk is that the clout they carry in traditional electronic payments will be interpreted as expertise in crypto. This would threaten the expert advice so carefully crafted by our community, which could be drowned out by the misinformed masses that PayPal brings to the space.”\nThe news may be good for PayPal shareholders because jumping into the cryptocurrency business will open up another income stream, which should lead to greater profits. However, buyers of Bitcoin who place their holdings on the PayPal platform have to be aware of the risks of exchange-held coins. Once again, it becomes a case of buyer-beware.\nFor a look at all of today’s economic events, check out oureconomic calendar.\nThisarticlewas originally posted on FX Empire\n• US Economy’s Rocky Recovery Needs Fiscal Stimulus Jolt\n• Price of Gold Fundamental Daily Forecast – Traders Continue to Pin Hopes on Stimulus Deal Before Election\n• U.S Politics, Private Sector PMIs, and COVID-19 to Keep the Markets Busy\n• Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 23rd, 2020\n• The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – October 23rd, 2020\n• European Equities: Private Sector PMIs, COVID-19, and U.S Politics in Focus', 'Bitcoin prices surged earlier in the week after PayPal jumped into the cryptocurrency business, but not everyone in the crypto industry is thrilled with the news.\nPayPal is planning to launch its own cryptocurrency service, allowing people to buy, hold and sell digital currency on its site and applications.

Once you have the private key memorized, the rationale goes, you can access your bitcoin wallet from anywhere in the world, as long as you have internet access. Its especially useful if you need to get out of Dodge quickly; your bitcoin will always be with you. To create a brainwallet, you can generate a new address using Bitcoin wallet software, memorize the seed phrase associated with the address using a mnemonic trick, and then delete the wallet from your computer or smartphone. You can also generate the private key yourself using bitcoin software specifically designed for creating brainwallets. This will create a wallet using whatever passphrase you choose to represent your private key. However, this method of generating a brainwallet is highly insecure for a number of reasons (poor entropy, for example) and is generally discouraged. Since brainwallets rely on the user remembering a passphrase, there is always the risk that youll forget it or, in the case of a user-generated phrase, that it will be easily guessed. To demonstrate how vulnerable user-generated passphrase wallets can be, depending on the quality of the password, an anonymous BitMex researcher generated eight wallets using quotes from popular literature, lyrics from a Bob Dylan song and an excerpt from Bitcoins white paper. Impressively, the Call me Ishmael wallet, derived from the notable opening line in Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick, was harpooned by a hacker literally the second it was created. For the others, all were swept within the day. The quote from the Bitcoin white paper took the longest to crack at roughly 13 hours. BitMex Research believes a single entity swept the wallets. The speed and nature of the redemption of the funds clearly indicates that people have servers up online 24/7 scanning the blockchain and their respective memory pools for weak brainwallets to hack. These servers are likely to have pre-generated many hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin addresses, using text from thousands of published works, music, books, academic papers, magazines, blogs, tweets and other media and then stored these in a database, the post reads. When generating a brainwallet, BitMex Research suggests composing a medley of words and phrases to create a more complex passphrase rather than relying on something simple and poetic.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.40% on Friday. Partially reversing a 1.38% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $12,930.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to a late morning intraday high $13,032.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $13,214, Bitcoin fell to a late afternoon intraday low $12,738.0. Finding support at the first major support level at $12,736, Bitcoin revisited $12,970 levels before easing back. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $13,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.75%), Chainlink (+1.63%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.82%), Litecoin (+1.87%), and Polkadot (+0.12%) found support, while Binance Coin ended the day flat. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.19%) and Cardano’s ADA (-2.31%) led the way down. Ethereum (-1.23%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.92%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total fell to a Tuesday low $347.77bn before surging to a Thursday high $397.58bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $387.31bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 57.52% before rising to a Thursday high 62.46%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.82%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.11% to $12,921.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $12,933.0 before falling to a low $12,882.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was also a mixed start to the day for the broader market. Crypto.com Coin (+2.23%), and Polkadot (+0.13%) found support to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Chainlink was down by 1.03% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $12,900 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,062 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $13,032.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $13,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $13,194. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $12,900 pivot would bring the first major support level at $12,768 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$12,700 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,606.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, took a strong stance against employee-driven corporate activism over the weekend, explaining that, going forward, his company would be “mission focused.” That means Coinbase will devote all of its attention to achieving the goal of creating “infrastructure for the crypto economy,” but will eschew any kind of activism, and won’t take a stand on policy or societal issues that go beyond that mission. Related: How the Crypto Industry Seesaws Between Assets and Infrastructure It’s not that those issues aren’t important and don’t need solving, Armstrong says, but that Coinbase’s best shot at making the world a better place is by achieving its central mission. It’s clear that Armstrong’s post comes in response to some kind of employee movement at Coinbase rather than pressure from the outside. He explains how he recently realized some employees believed Coinbase’s world-changing mission means the firm should actively push forward other ways to improve the world. Now that he’s taken this stance, though, he has very politely told those people to be activists on their own time or find another job. What’s also clear is Armstrong believes he’s far from alone among his C-Suite peers – not just at Coinbase or in the crypto industry, but among executive teams across corporate America. By sharing his position publicly, Armstrong obviously hopes it resonates and catches on, perhaps lighting the spark of some kind of backlash to the cultural moment that has, among other things, seen Scientific American take a position on the presidential race for the first time in its 175-year history. Related: First Mover: Binance CEO Sees Future in DeFi While Bitcoin Volatility Turns Minuscule And Armstrong is probably right to think so. Although barely any other CEOs responded to his post, several influencers chimed in their support. To be fair, the odds were skewed in his favor – big chunks of the crypto community, generally known to favor libertarianism and pseudonymity, would certainly feel affinity to Armstrong’s “leave me out of it” position. Story continues Of course, there was no shortage of people calling out Armstrong for taking a position that doesn’t just go against the grain of a trend sweeping companies throughout America, but is in their view fundamentally cowardly and on the wrong side of history. Ultimately, it will push away talent, critics say, since it will set the wrong tone with exactly the kind of employees they should want. Many workers feel empowered, and potentially more productive when they’re allowed to speak out on causes. Sapping productivity? Time will tell who is right with respect to Coinbase, but Armstrong’s stance is such a line in the sand in today’s culture that bigger questions are at stake. Coinbase isn’t just a darling of the crypto industry poised for an IPO – it’s a tech company based in Silicon Valley, ground zero for exactly the kind of employee activism Armstrong is eschewing. While many corporations make donations to righteous causes or respond to the cultural zeitgeist with message-based marketing, tech companies have seen employees take strong positions in recent years to pressure their employers to do what they believe is the right thing. Thousands of Google employees staged a walkout in 2018 over how the company handled sexual harassment allegations. Amazon workers continually speak out against the company making its facial recognition technology available to law enforcement . And Facebook’s employees are so emboldened that they’re directly critical of CEO Mark Zuckerberg in public forums. Armstrong even name-checks Facebook and Google in his Medium post, pointing to those companies’ internal strife as an indicator of sapped productivity. The company I really think he’s thinking about, however, is Spotify, whose employees are openly revolting over podcaster Joe Rogan’s arrival on the platform, demanding new safeguards be put in place over potentially objectionable content. This is where the comparison between Coinbase and the strife within the tech industry starts to break down. It’s one thing for a crypto exchange to take an apolitical stance, and another for a communications platform – where speech, information and the handling of those things are the company’s core product – to do so. But that’s exactly the point. Armstrong’s position isn’t a message to Silicon Valley heavyweights to turn back the clock on employee “wokeness” – it’s an open letter to every other corporate leader, urging them to connect the dots between the political positions they might be taking and the central mission of their companies. And if the result is a picture they don’t like, rethink. I’m not naive. In today’s world, where every day seems to bring a new tragedy or flashpoint that raises the cultural temperature even more, that’s a hard thing to do.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.52% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.40% fall from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $13,127.0. It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $12,882.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $12,768, Bitcoin rose to a mid-afternoon intraday high $13,178.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $13,062 before falling back to $13,050 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $13,100 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $13,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Binance Coin (-0.10%) and Cardano’s ADA (-0.17%), saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, with Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.03%), Chainlink (+4.39%), and Litecoin (+6.94%) leading the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.18%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.69%) Ethereum (+0.74%), Polkadot (+0.61%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.54%) saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total fell to a Tuesday low $347.73bn before surging to a Thursday high $397.6bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $392.73bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 57.52% before rising to a Thursday high 62.46%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.81%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.21% to $13,099.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $13,128.0 to a low $13,099.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day, with Bitcoin Cash SV up by 1.64% to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin and Litecoin were down by 2.13% and by 2.11% respectively to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,062 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,243 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $13,178.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $13,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $13,358. Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,062 pivot would bring the first major support level at $12,947 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$12,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,766.

On Tuesday, the net inflow of bitcoin to exchanges (measured by the total change in exchange balances) was 36,800 BTC, according to data source Chainalysis . Thats the biggest single-day rise since the markets crash on March 12 sent prices to a 2020 low. Since Sept. 20, the net daily inflow of bitcoins to exchanges have been increasing and trade intensity has been declining, Philip Gradwell, an economist at Chainalysis, told CoinDesk. This, he said, indicates a weakening market. The uptick in net inflows represents an increase in selling pressure, since investors typically move coins from their wallets to exchanges when they see a possible need to liquidate their holdings. Further, bitcoins trade intensity, which measures the number of times an inflowing coin is traded, fell to a one-year low of 1.75 on Tuesday. Thats a sign there were not enough buyers to absorb the spiking inflow of coins. Trade intensity has declined from 4.93 to 1.75 in the last three days. There is a lot of inventory building on exchanges and fewer buyers willing to trade. These conditions tend to lead to price declines, Gradwell said. Long-term bull bias intact Bitcoin fell by over 4.5% on Monday as investors bought the safe-haven U.S. dollar, but sold equities, gold and other fiat currencies on renewed coronavirus concerns. The drop set the stage for a continuation of the pullback from August highs above $12,400, according to the technical charts. Immediate supports are seen at $10,000 and $9,868 (Sept. 8 low). However, while bitcoin may suffer deeper declines in the short-term, the overall bias remains bullish. We are still above $10,000, only the third time bitcoin has maintained this price level for multiple weeks, and long-term investors are buying bitcoin in increasing amounts, Gradwell noted. The options market is also showing bullish bias on the longer time frames. The three- and six-month put-call skews remain below zero, a sign that bullish call options are drawing higher demand or prices compared to bearish put options. At press time, bitcoin is trading near $10,477, up slightly on the day, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index .

If you are not yet technical enough to do that, you should consider buying a hardware wallet and practicing with small amounts, backing up, erasing it, recovering, etc. until you feel confident you can do it.', 'ji4lry'], ['u/beowulfpt', 22, '2020-10-26 02:48', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ji4lry/bitcoin/ga4jz3p/', 'Nice.

The Telegram AMA will take place Tuesday, October 27 at 11 am PST / 2 pm EST / 6 pm GMT on the Bitcoin.com Exchange Telegram Channel . Participants will learn how Aspire makes it easy to create your own digital assets, and have all their questions answered about buying and selling Aspire (ASP) and Aspire Gas (GASP) on Bitcoin.com. The Aspire platform, which consists of the Aspire (ASP) digital asset creation platform and Aspire Gas (GASP) blockchain, is the first digital asset creation platform to be free of double spending, resisting both mining exploits and 51 percent attacks that are common to proof-of-work blockchains. ASP and GASP were both recently listed on Bitcoin.com Exchange. Both tokens were created under the leadership of core developer Jim Blasko, a proof-of-work innovator since 2012. Blasko and Co-Founder Michael Terpin will both field questions during Tuesday’s AMA. Aspire was designed and built by remodeling legacy Counterparty software and replacing Bitcoin's blockchain with their own Proof Of Work blockchain known as “gAsp.” This was done to allow for greater security and to be able to run on the lowest possible transaction fees. Aspire is the most cost-effective platform in the world to build digital assets on, as users are able to perform over 300k transactions of their assets with just 1 GASP coin. Digital assets have been a key part of the growth of the blockchain, including the rapid growth of digital collectibles.

The blockchain industry subsector of “privacy coins” – cryptocurrencies with embedded technology that shields identifying information from public view – is becoming one of this year’s hottest buys. One of the biggest privacy coins,zcash(ZEC), which offers “shielded transaction” capabilities, has nearly tripled so far in 2020, whilemonero(XMR), which uses a technique called “ring signatures” to obscure sender and receiver data, has doubled. Litecoin founder Charlie Lee told CoinDesk in an interview the project is now looking to adopt key privacy-enhancing features, which he sees as increasingly attractive to cryptocurrency users. The enhancements are already being tested, and an upgrade to the main network is scheduled for next year.If the effort succeeds, it might inject ajolt of enthusiasminto a project that has suffered from a lack of momentum in digital-asset markets. Litecoin is up 21% this year after a 38% gain in 2019, which pales in comparison to bitcoin’s 59% year-to-date gain and a 94% increase last year.

Related:CFTC Chairman Heath Tarbert Talks Ethereum, DeFi and the Next BitMEX Notably, the cryptocurrency formed an “inside day” candle on Tuesday, aborting the immediate bullish technical outlook. Inside day candle occurs when the cryptocurrency trades well within the preceding day’s high and low and indicates consolidation. As such, Tuesday’s high of $11,567 is now the level to beat for the bulls. A break above that level would signal a continuation of the recent rally and open the doors for resistances above $12,000. Alternatively, acceptance under Tuesday’s low of $11,314 would imply a bearish reversal and could yield deeper declines. That said, the on-chain metrics favor a continued rally. The seven-day average of bitcoin’s hashrate or measure of the processing power dedicated to the blockchain rose to a record high of 144.29 exa hashes per second (quintillion hashes per second) on Tuesday, surpassing the previous peak of 143.19 EH/s observed on Sept. 18, according to data source Glassnode. It indicates high miner confidence in the cryptocurrency’s price prospects. Miners largely operate on cash and liquidate their BTC holdings to fund operations. As such, they are likely to dedicate more resources to the computer-intensive mining process if they are bullish on price. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Bitcoin Steady Above $11,400 as Hashrate Reaches New High Bitcoin (BTC):Giant money manager Fidelity pitches bitcoin as“alternative investment.” Ether (ETH):Ethereum’s network upgrade (Eth 2.0) isexpected soonand could address scaling issues associated with its legacy platform.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['The Euro showed signs of life earlier in the session, hovering near a four-month high against the U.S. Dollar on Monday as bullish investors held on to hopes that European Commission policymakers would break the stalemate and finally hammer out an economic rescue deal as their long-winded weekend summit reached a record length. At 0:59 GMT, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1422, down 0.0004 or -0.03%. Reuters is reporting that EU leaders were at an impasse over a proposed 750 billion Euro ($858.30 billion) recovery fund, which is supposed to be raised on behalf of them all on capital markets by the EU’s executive European Commission. That would be a historic step towards greater fiscal integration for the union, but a group of “frugal” wealthy north European states were pushing for a smaller fund and seeking to limit how payouts are split between grants and repayable loans. A source told Reuters $350 billion Euros on grants was the maximum acceptable for the camp of thrifty northerners, compared to 400 billion seen as the bare minimum by many others, including Germany and France. Diplomats said it was possible that they would abandon the summit and try again for an agreement next month.

Deal Will Have Major Impact on Euro While the outcome of the negotiations is still up in the air early Monday, most market players agree that an agreement or a collapse in the talks would have a major impact on the single currency when trading resumes. Early Monday, the Euro is banging on a four-month high on hopes that Europe’s fiscal leaders would move toward agreement on the massive 750 billion-euro rescue fund.

No answers are posted. These are some tangible thoughts and strategies for many sapper events that brought my squad and I considerable success moving through. I went through with consistently single-digit temperatures, so my skill set is that of a winter sapper and a summer ranger. I don\'t know how specific I can get without issue, but will attempt to be as specific as allowed.\n\nValid as of early 2020\n\nThe best day to day description of Sapper school:\n\n[https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/bd58m5/sapper\\_school\\_descriptionguide/](https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/bd58m5/sapper_school_descriptionguide/)\n\nPreparation:\n\n1. Memorize the knots test. Yes, you will have to demonstrate the butterfly coil with a farmers tie off and/or the bowline on a coil. \n2. Memorize the sapper creed. You will be singled out eventually.\n3. Run often, no less than 5 miles with every hill you can find. My run route was traversing the base up and down every hill available. Often back and forth on the same hill loop for miles.\n4. You have access to TC 3-34.85 - read it. Understand the GS topics I will list below (in no particular order).\n5. Everything is for points. Never slack on a section because you think you\'re set. Identifying that type of anti-personnel mine everyone forgot the name of, could save you. If you have an hour to practice and rehearse, take the entire hour.\n\nGeneral Subjects\n\nGS is playing the game for points, but the game is consistent dedication to clawing at a slightly higher score by practicing your PE\'s for the entire time allotted.\n\n&amp;amp;amp;#x200B;\n\n1. Air Operations -\n 1. Memorizing types of aircraft with their loads, personnel, landing space... the general pathfinder needs.\n 2. Pathfinder Ops \\- Included in Air Operations, the practical exercise portion memorizing comms with approaching aircraft, hands-on will teach you in person - the biggest challenge is memorizing the commands of adjusting flightpath of incoming airdrops. About half a page of scripted commands you send over the radio by memory.\n2. Memorization Practical Exercises \\- Do not stop practicing for any timeframe they allocate you.\n 1. UXO \\- No issue learning this in person. Fast notes. Practice identifying. Covers classification and method of delivery. Example being Anti Tank - High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT). Anti-personnel - fragmentation handheld. Etc.\n 2. Foreign Weapons \\- Memorization by affiliation - naming a dozen foreign, mostly Russian rifles, antiaircraft guns, and machine guns.\n 3. Foreign weapon assembly/disassembly \\- 5 types of an AK, all the same basic parts but must identify the subtle differences (AK47, AK74, AK74U, etc). You disassemble and assemble for time. Practice for the entire time available to do so.\n3. Waterborne Ops \\- no issues, no written test\n 1. Boat test for rigging and lashing the transom, ruck loading, capsize drills. If we were graded for points, it was minuscule but were tested out pass-fail with a couple of rehearsal attempts and a graded attempt. My squad had no issue.\n4. Hauling \\- The most conceptual challenge of Sapper - most individual event no-go.\n 1. Building 2:1 redirect, 3:1 and 5:1 pulley systems to haul equipment.\n 2. Practice until you\'re sick of it, then do it again.\n 3. YOUTUBE THESE BEFOREHAND IF YOU DON\'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT.\n 4. If they see you\'re good, prepare for the 5:1 system test-out.\n5. A-Frame \\- Most meticulously challenging squad event - squad pass/fail\n 1. Many squads cut losses on this, my squad did not, but we still missed the 20-minute window by 5 seconds.\n 2. Tip: The individuals that participate in the example keep the same role for the rest of GS. Don\'t let the "Strong Sapper" be the wraps and fraps leader (courdelletes tying the 2 pillars together at the joint to create the \'A\')\n6. One Rope Bridge \\- Easy points\n 1. Whoever is the position during the instructor example does not change for the rest of GS.\n 2. Smart sapper needs to be the bridge team commander (BTC) who ties the transport tightening system. All other positions can be anyone.\n7. Casualty Belay \\- Challenging, same approach as one rope bridge and A-frame.\n 1. \\\\\\Someone writes down how to stage the equipment and the exact equipment list for staging\\\\\\ carabiners have different tensile strengths for different sections of the belay.\n 2. Don\'t make the same sappers run all the events, the processes become a little jumbled and hazy come mountain to test out.\n 3. One person masters their part in their specific order of events. They don\'t change from the instructor-led example. Everyone writes their specific task down step by step.\n8. Prusik ascent \\- Pass-Fail\n 1. Set up a prusik ascent in 3 minutes (I think its 3min). You have copious amounts of time to practice.\n 2. Ask questions early, practice it again, and again, and again. Then be sick of doing it and do it again.\n9. Rappelling on Tower day \\- attention to detail keeps you from getting major minuses and you will be set. Hollywood and combat rappels, that use super 8, air traffic controller, super belay gadget, muntar hitch, and aussie. Timed and tested rappel seat with inspection (I wigged out and tied a granny.. minor minus). Timed and tested RMPI (rappel master personal inspection, very difficult to identify pebbles in pockets, minor minus). Then you will rig sked casualty belay during your mountain day.\n\nFrom a strategic standpoint, you can easily accrue 3 major minuses for safety violations if you misroute one of your dynamic ropes in the ATC/SBG, or enter the pit from an unauthorized side. Attention to detail10. Preparing your mermite meals dress-right-dress to standard in GS and part of patrol.\n11. Class leader delegates tasks. One squad unloads main meals and serves, one squad unloads fruits, desserts, juices, silverware, and distros to the place setting in formation, remaining squads hold 2 plates at a time and move through the line... everyone gets one item, all the same.\n12. My class could set 50 meals in 4 minutes.\n13. Demo \\- multiple choice\n 1. If you went to EBOLC, re-learn your demo week quizzes and tests. You will be set.\n 2. NCOs - link up with a 12B for their standard demolition testing, learn these calculations before showing up. They will include all your standard MSD (minimum safe distance) with and without blast blanket, some tricky NEW (net explosive weight) with caps, det cord, and blocks, the timing for time fuse and how much to cut, ribbon charges, and some others that confuse you on when to place what style charge because of the size of a bar, the material, or the location.\n\nPatrols\n\n1. Treat it like it\'s real. I can not stress this enough, more than any other aspect of patrols ten times over. Live in the moment, become insatiable from the act of treating everything like it\'s real. (Then when SI\'s leave, flip the script and run out to place the claymore).\n2. Recycles run this phase. Let them. Empower them and learn their special products - laminated folders that track equipment, personnel, and patrol base sectors of fire. This is PSG patrol base \'go.\'\n3. Grading\\- \\\\THIS IS ENTIRELY SPECULATION BASED ON RANGER SCHOOL\\\\Widely unknown but can assume its the ranger school style of 70%. They will never tell you though.. .. You must \'go\' 4/5 events, (or 5/7 if they want to help you out). The events you\'re graded on are never known, even after your evaluation in sapper, and an unbiased system should have them select the event before they know who they are grading. It does not work like this. Everything is written in pencil, until the day you tab. Never give them a reason to turn your good mission into a below the standard one. Graded events include, but are not limited to Patrol Base ops, react to contact, react to IDF, squad or platoon attack, reach to ambush near/far, ORP ops like ruck distribution plans, movement formation, communication (hand arm signal/coms with higher/gotwa distro), land navigation (one SI shift grades if you make it to OBJ, one SI shift will make you pinpoint within a 200-300 meter accuracy for a go), actions on objective, post actions on (mascal, casevac, ace, salute, epw search/clear, withdrawal) (this is a flimsy one, and I believe we admin endex\'d each mission in the interest of time for moving to the next mission. At night its white light to find your rucks. You don\'t leave ORP security, I believe there is a demolition application one you can be graded on as well. There are a dozen other grading points, but I just hit the major ones. You will get an AAR after your leadership day which in no way reflects your go/nogo from the tone of the review. A glowing AAR can still result in a nogo, always try your best on the next look.\n4. OPORD, know who is on what team\'s section of the OPORD. Do it once, learn from the critiques, write a copy of your product, and then rewrite it for test day. Shells made are okay, scripts are usually taken after use unless you take it back first. The SI\'s don\'t really care that much.\n5. I did not get to experience sapper school patrol base operations or priorities of work. I couldn\'t even tell you if they do POW in the patrol base. I went when it averaged single digits in the day and we were forbidden from sleeping on the ice/snow in the field. We had many hypothermia cases and equal amounts of heat casualties.\n\nPersonal Opinion for Success\n\n1. My final and best recommendation. ...

Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $9,345 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,515. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $9,457.2. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,627 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,345 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,232 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$9,100 levels. The second major resistance level sits at $9,062.

Related:First Mover: The Return of the Bitcoin Retail Investor (and Why That’s a Good Thing) Flash loans & hacksA hacker exploited a smart contract loophole early Monday to drain$500,000-worth of tokensfrom DeFi liquidity provider Balancer Pool. CTO Mike McDonald said in a blog the attacker had borrowed $23 million-worth of WETH tokens in a flash loan from dYdX, and used those token to trade against themselves with a variety of investment-grade Stratera tokens. A flash loan was used in February to cripple the bZx exchange. These types of attacks leverage aprotocol’s built in capabilitiesand novel financial instruments, rather than hacking the code base.

Privacy and pseudo-anonymityBitcoin’s culture is heavily influenced by the rights topseudonymity and privacyonline. Beginning with Satoshi Nakamoto, a long line of crypto developers have taken the route of remaining pseudo-anonymous for personal safety as well as to maintain consistent worldviews. Sometimes seen as needless obfuscation, masked identities allow people to “be who you are,” Engineer Kee Hinckley said. It also informs the projects being built, such as the many privacy-forward experiments on Bitcoin. Auditing slipA German shareholder body has accused “Big Four” auditor Ernst & Young of failing to spot a$2.1 billion black holein Wirecard’s books soon enough. Shareholders’ association SdK filed criminal damages against EY Friday for not flagging Wirecard’s accounting practices earlier, reports CNBC. The group holds EY, and two current and one former employee in particular, responsible for not alerting the authorities and investors sooner, which ultimately culminated in the precipitous drop in the Wirecard share price.

Volatility trendsRecent market data suggests thatbitcoin is becoming less volatile,while stocks are increasingly volatile, CoinDesk Head of Research Noelle Acheson said, in the latest Crypto Long & Short newsletter. If the trend continues, it could have profound effects on bitcoin’s adoption, as Fidelity found the biggest barrier to entry is crypto’s market turbulence. “With the narrowing of the differential, that barrier could disappear, or at least significantly diminish. It’s not just that bitcoin’s volatility seems to be trending down – if volatility overall is more acceptable, bitcoin’s swings could be seen as less of a negative,” Acheson said.

Today's Key News: ['Last week\'s hack of over 100 very high-profile Twitter accounts did in fact expose the direct messages of many of those accounts, the company admitted today — including those of an elected official in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders. The attack saw numerous popular accounts of celebrities and politicians taken over and tweeting a very obvious Bitcoin scam that nevertheless seems to have netted at least six figures. Twitter said that a "coordinated social engineering attack" gave hackers "access to internal systems and tools." Verified users were also briefly prevented from tweeting (a change some welcomed). In tweets and an update to its blog post on the "security incident," Twitter said that "for up to 36 of the 130 targeted accounts, the attackers accessed the DM inbox." They are "actively working on communicating directly" with those accounts affected.

(NASDAQ: MARA ) ("Marathon" or "Company"), one of the few Nasdaq listed cryptocurrency mining companies in the United States, today announced the purchase of an additional 500 of the latest generation Bitmain S19 Pro Miners. These 500 miners will produce 110 TH/s and generate 55 PH/s (petahash) of hashing power, bringing the Company’s total Hashrate to approximately 240 PH/s when fully deployed. This compares to the Company’s previous S-9 production of 46 PH/s. The purchase price paid was $1,190,000. The Company expects to take delivery of these latest units by the end of September. On May 11, 2020, Marathon announced the purchase of 700 M30S+ (80 TH) miners which now have been fully installed and are operational. On May 12, 2020, the Company announced the purchase 660 Bitmain S19 Pro Miners followed by the announced purchase of an additional 500 on May 19, 2020. Today’s announcement of the purchase of an additional 500 S19 Pro Miners brings the total state of the art, next generation miners purchased in the past month to 2,360 units. The Company is expecting delivery and installation of 1,160 Bitmain S19 Pro ASIC Miners in approximately the next 30-60 days, followed by the remaining 500 shortly thereafter. Marathon’s Chief Executive Officer, Merrick Okamoto, stated “In the past month, we have heavily invested in our business through the purchase of these 2,360 next generation miners. We anticipate that, upon full installation, we could experience at least a 500% increase in our aggregate hash rate as compared to our production rates before these new miners were acquired and installed.” With the recent price increase of Bitcoin, each batch of new Bitcoin miners has been selling out, pushing acquisition and delivery dates out by several months. The Company has worked very aggressively to acquire miners with the nearest delivery dates in order to expedite its ability to bring miners online to ramp up production in the shortest timeframe possible. The Company has reached this goal with miners scheduled to arrive in June, July, and September of this year. Only one NASDAQ listed company has announced a greater increase in hashrate expected this summer than Marathon.

Threw it in a spare Haswell-generation mini ITX build I\'ve just upgraded from. Installed Pop\\_OS 20.04...and started playing, immediately, with no setup. My whole desktop (including all apps and games) are being rendered on the P106, and the video signal is coming through the iGPU outputs (right now I happen to be using a VGA output). Getting solid 60-100fps framerates in all the Linux-native games I\'ve tried (sometimes having to tinker with quality settings), and a good handful of the Windows-only games I\'ve tried. Unigine Heaven getting \\~1100 score on Extreme preset.\n\nBut the key thing is I\'m getting what seems like 85% (?) of a GTX 1060 gaming experience using a $30 mining card...and I didn\'t have to faff around with "hacking" drivers or anything. It\'s literally an out of the box gaming experience; Pop\\_OS\' hybrid graphics functionality just make it work immediately.\n\nI\'m sort of pinching myself, not sure if I just got lucky with some random alignment of firmware versions, which I didn\'t attempt to do at all. Can other owners of similar equipment test this, just install Pop\\_OS 20.04 and see if, for example, Unigine Heaven renders using the P106 out of the box?\n\nThanks and game on!\n\naddendum1: \n\n/r/gaming moderator\'s reply: "The bit about mining was a red flag about bitcoin mining, but reading through the post seems to be not about that.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.60% on Thursday. Following on from a 1.65% rally on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,615.0. It was a bearish first half of the day. Bitcoin fell to an early afternoon intraday low $9,475.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,361, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $9,685.4. Bitcoin came within range of the first major resistance level at $9,698.4 before falling back to sub-$9,600 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin moved back through to $9,600 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Binance Coin and Ethereum rallied by 3.64% and by 4.31% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.02%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.38%), Monero’s XMR (+2.54%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.30%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.88%), and Tezos (+2.54%) also found support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.48%), EOS (-0.43%), Litecoin (-0.18%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.48%) bucked the trend on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $262.70bn before rising to a Thursday high $286.03bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $281.11n. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Tuesday high 64.08% before sliding to a Thursday low 62.47. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.93%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.24% to $9,592.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,615.5 to a low $9,585.7. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was up by 0.04% to buck the trend. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, with Tezos down by 1.36% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $9,592 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,709. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $9,685.4. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,802.2 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $9,592 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,500 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$9,300 levels. The second major resistance level at $9,381.4 should limit any downside.

I think if you look to the Bitcoin whitepapers introduction, you will see the main reason Bitcoin was invented, its competitive advantage, was for low cost transactions.\n\n.......the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model.\nCompletely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot\navoid mediating disputes. The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the\nminimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions,\nand there is a broader cost in the loss of ability to make non-reversible payments for nonreversible services. With the possibility of reversal, the need for trust spreads. Merchants must\nbe wary of their customers, hassling them for more information than they would otherwise need.\nA certain percentage of fraud is accepted as unavoidable. These costs and payment uncertainties\ncan be avoided in person by using physical currency, but no mechanism exists to make payments\nover a communications channel without a trusted party.\n\n\n Bitcoin solved that problem, for a few years. Bitcoin is no longer competitive based on fundamentals. Like Gold, it will remain as a legacy asset but will not flourish. Nano solves the problem permanently.

The second thing I see with Nano is that the more the community grows, the more people are involved in the project, and the more the growth potential.\n\nDon't be discouraged because of price action, or the fact that the project may seem dead now. That can and will change in the future. I personally think that Nano has a lot going for it, and it's just a matter of a waiting game. Since demand for cryptocurrencies in general will increase, Bitcoin will face more transaction activity, causing congestion within the network.

Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $9,469.7 before making a move. The pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $9,498.20. Finding support through the afternoon, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $9,644.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,708.6, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$9,600 levels to end the day in the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Binance Coin (+2.24%), Ethereum (+1.46%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.16%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Tezos slid by 5.00% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.47%), EOS (-1.99%), Ripple’s XRP (-2.07%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-2.98%) also struggled. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.55%), Cardano’s ADA (-1.78%), Litecoin (-1.82%), and Monero’s XMR (-1.74%) saw relatively modest losses.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,558 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,471 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major resistance level at $9,383.

While Skycoin has been tradable on major exchanges for many years, XBTS represents the first time Coin Hours have been made available to trade on an exchange as a separate and distinct crypto asset.\nSkycoin is a deflationary currency, with a total supply ultimately capped at 100 million coins. Coin Hours, on the other hand, were designed to be an inflationary currency with inbuilt deflationary control mechanisms, encouraging users to spend and trade Coin Hours instead of Skycoin. As the Skycoin project continues to refine Skywire - Skycoin\'s groundbreaking decentralized and encrypted global mesh network - Coin Hours are set to become the currency with which to purchase bandwidth, storage, and other services on the Skywire network.\nIntroduction to Coin Hours:\nIn short, Coin Hours are:\n1. A commodity currency backed by the digital asset of bandwidth on the Skywire meshnet.\n2. The basis of the first bandwidth market in history.\n3. A form of interest on your investment in Skycoin.\n4. A way to keep your transactions free so you don\'t have to spend $SKY to use it.\n5. An anti-spam mechanism which prevents people from attacking the network with many tiny transactions.\n6. A way to effectively prevent institutions from issuing paper $SKY derivatives as they do for gold, silver, etc., and are now doing for certain cryptocurrencies.\nDecentralized cryptocurrency exchange XBTS is set to offer its users the ability to buy, sell, and earn Coin Hours on its DEX beginning July 29, 12:00 UTC.\nXBTS DEX is a BitShares-based decentralized exchange, which means that Coin Hours will have 45 trading pairs the moment it is listed.\nDeposit Coin Hours on XBTS:\n• Register for a free trading account athttps://xbts.io\n• In the deposit section, you will receive a single address to deposit SKY and SCH.\n• Send Skycoin (from 0.001) and the desired number of Coin Hours. (Minimum deposit: 1000 SCH.)\n• Note that there is a deposit/withdrawal fee of 5% SCH.\n• The two assets (SKY and SCH) are immediately credited to your XBTS exchange balance.\n• You may start trading SCH or SKY to any of 45 available trading pairs!\nWithdraw Coin Hours on XBTS:\n• Select SCH or SKY.\n• Indicate the address to which you wish to withdraw.\n• Note that 10% of the SCH are burned as per the current Skycoin transaction burn rate. SKY has no fee for withdrawal.\n• If you are withdrawing only SCH, then 0.001 SKY + the specified number of SCH is sent minus the commission.\n• SKY / SCH are sent in Skycoin\'s native Fiber blockchain to the user\'s wallet\n• Minimum withdrawal: 1000 SCH.\nMedia who wish to schedule interviews may reach out to:[email protected]\nAbout Skycoin:\nSkycoin is bringing people what they want: a truly decentralized network without any central authority.

Coca-Cola Amatil , the Asia-Pacific bottling giant, has partnered with digital assets platform Centrapay to integrate bitcoin as a payment option from its vending machines across Australia and New Zealand. This means over 2,000 smart vending machines now accept cryptocurrency. The machines running the bitcoin transactions are owned by Coca-Cola Amatil, a regional bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola products. While the Atlanta-based soft drink producer is a major shareholder in the distributor, the two are separate companies. Transactions are conducted via New Zealand-based Centrapay and Sylo Smart Wallet , which currently has about 250,000 users. Newcomers can download the Sylo app on their smartphones, add bitcoin to their wallets and scan a QR code to purchase Amatil products. Sylo co-founder and business manager Dorian Johannink said the digital wallet can typically store, send and receive cryptocurrencies including bitcoin and ERC20-compatible tokens like its own SYLO listed on Hong Kong exchange KuCoin. But for the Coke scenario, its just supported for bitcoin initially for the trial run, but we may extend the functionality, Johannink said. Related: Coca-Cola Distributor Offers Bitcoin Payment Options for Aussie Vending Machines Buying a Coke with bitcoin sounds catchy, but the cryptocurrency has notoriously limited scalability, processing an average of 1 megabyte worth of transactions every 10 minutes, after which bitcoin miners prioritize transactions with higher fees. But Sylos main focus is not on bitcoin as a payment form, but on the vision of connecting crypto to the real world and using the architecture of this trial to roll out digital assets as payment tools more broadly. Centrapay announced the partnership on Twitter Monday, echoing Sylo in claiming it was the first step toward mainstream digital transactions. The future, as Sylo envisions it, will allow customers to purchase a digital asset in the real world, perhaps a Coke token, and use it to purchase products. Story continues Sylo has moved quickly in the last few months, going from adding bitcoin to its wallet back in March and listing its token on KuCoin, to a real-world trial run in crypto transactions. According to Centrapay CEO Jerome Faury, the initiative has already demonstrated it can work in Australia and New Zealand, and will be targeting the U.S. market next with some world-first innovations. Johannink said Faury has already established connections in the United States and there are plans to move things quickly, but the regional partnership is still in its nascent stages. Sylo is determined. Lets see how this initial run goes, Johannink said. People are testing it out now. If it goes smoothly, we can roll it out pretty quickly.

And then I would craft moonshine and sell that for profit. Now it seems the hideout was very badly nerfed. Bitcoins only give you around 100k, and if you have 2 empty fuel cans and buy the rest of the items needed to craft mag boxes, you end up losing money. Making moonshine loses you money as well. Buying 2 sugar and 1 super water costs more than what you will make from selling the moonshine, by quite a bit when you factor in the fee from flea market. So even if you find the items in raid to craft these things in the hideout, you will make more money if you just sold them instead of wasting fuel and time to craft these items. And then it seems like the scav case was nerfed too, because I rarely make my money back unless I use the 7,000 rub option. I have lost heaps of cash using all the other ones. I think it was a big waste of money to max out my hideout. The only benefit I have really gotten out of it is being able to craft some rare quest items, like the virtex and transmitter, but even then it takes like 2-3 days to craft and costs a lot of money. I really hope they make some adjustments to the hideout because right now it isn’t making you any real profits.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.63% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.58% loss from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,714.9. It was bullish day, with Bitcoin rallying from an early morning intraday low $9,555.5 to a late intraday high $9,754.5. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,645.5 and second major resistance level at $9,731.9 before easing back. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back to sub-$9,700 levels before wrapping up the day at $9,700 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday. Cardano’s ADA rallied by 17.76% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+6.00%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+7.59%), Ethereum (+9.30%), and Litecoin (+11.43%) also made strong gains. Binance Coin (+3.38%), EOS (+4.99%), Monero’s XMR (+2.55%), Ripple’s XRP (+5.23%), Stellar’s Lumen (+4.71%), Tezos (+0.89%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.98%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $262.70bn before hitting a Saturday high $291.48bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $287.68bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Tuesday high 64.08% before sliding to a Saturday low 61.70%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.07%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.19% to $9,696.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $9,722.8 before falling to a low $9,690.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.92%) and Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.33%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues Stellar’s Lumen was down by 1.35% to lead the way down early on. https://www.tradingview.com/x/ztgae3yU/ For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $9,675 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,794. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $9,754.5. Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,874 and resistance at $10,000. The third major resistance level sits at $10,073. Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,675 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,595 into play.

Still, it could get worse if there were a second wave of COVID-19 infections. If this were to happen, the economy could compress further in the months to come leading to 2021. Given the concerning projections, chancellor Rishi Sunak rolled out a new plan that is set to jump-start the economy by supporting jobs and businesses. The idea behind the fresh measures is to ensure that the “economic recovery is as strong and as swift as possible.” The plan provides a clear path around protecting, supporting, and creating new jobs to boost the confidence of employers. But it fails to address how it will improve the day-to-day lives of the British people. In fact, there are no mentions regarding funding for public schools, transportation, and cultural amenities, such as museums, galleries, public parks, and others. With lockdown measures easing in the UK, investors are growing hopeful about a further economic recovery. This sense of optimism was barely interrupted on Monday, July 13th, after the governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey said to be “very worried” about jobs across the nation. Following the banker’s speech, the Pound crashed by 1.47% to hit a low of $1.248 on July 14th, but investors’ confidence did not fade away. The GBP/USD exchange rate has been able to recover since then surging over 1.70% to trade at $1.272 as of July 23rd. While Sterling seems to have more room to go up, there is a massive resistance barrier sitting ahead of it. The Pound must break through $1.275 to retest June 10th high of $1.281 or even reach the next hurdle at $1.301. Given the uncertainty around Britain’s economy, investors might be able to hedge against potential risks with Bitcoin . The flagship cryptocurrency recently moved past the $9,400 resistance wall and made a higher high for the first time since June. If the buying pressure behind BTC continues to rise, it would likely take another shot at the infamous $10,000 hurdle. Moving past this area of resistance increases the odds for new yearly highs. Story continues Everything will depend on Bitcoin’s ability to stay above the $8,900 support level. Expectations Grow Around the Pound Sterling was able to recover strongly following March’s market meltdown. The new fiscal stimulus recently announced and hopes for a vaccine against COVID-19 also seems to have helped propel the Pound higher. While the risks of Brexit talks and rising tensions with China are still relevant, GBP might be able to weather the storm against the US dollar. Given the current economic outlook with the Federal Reserve adding more liquidity into the market, traders must watch out for the $1.275 resistance level since it may allow the Pound to advance further. If sell orders begin to pile up, however, Sterling might retrace to $1.253. Under such circumstances, the two crucial price hurdles ahead of the Pound are the $1.275 resistance and the $1.266 support level. Moving above or below these critical price levels will determine where the GBP/USD exchange rate is headed next.

Following on from a 0.64% decline on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,400.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin recovered from an early dip to strike a late morning intraday high $9,496.9 before hitting reverse. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $9,606.27, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,285.0. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $9,300.27 before finding late support. Bitcoin broke back through the first major support level to $9,400 levels, limiting the loss on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of last week’s sell-off, with Bitcoin holding well above the 23.6% FIB of $8,900. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish day on Thursday. Binance Coin (-1.53%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.49%), Cardano’s ADA (-1.91%), Litecoin (-1.45%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.68%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-1.47%) lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.21%), EOS (-1.19%), Ethereum (-1.09%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.03%) also struggled on the day. Monero’s XMR and Tezos saw relatively modest losses of 0.17% and 0.51% respectively. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $246.94bn before rising to a Wednesday high $266.87bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $260.24bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 66.60% before sliding to a Wednesday low 65.87%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 66.10%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.48% to $9,355.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,400.0 to a low $9,333.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day on Friday. Story continues Binance Coin was up by 0.33% to buck the trend early on. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however, with Cardano’s ADA down by 1.05% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $9,394 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $9,502.93 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $9,496.6. Resistance at $9,500 has continued to pin Bitcoin back since 11 th June. Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $9,496.9 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,595.87. Failure to move through the $9,394 pivot level could see Bitcoin struggle on the day. A fall through the morning low $9,333.4 would bring the first major support level at $9,291.03 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$9,000 levels. The second major support level at $9,182.07 should limit any downside.

However, pyramid schemes that force their sucker "investors" to eat their own losses typically don\'t collapse, at least not for a long time . Crypto is a perfect example of this dynamic at play, since exchanges are able to establish a consistent revenue stream of hard currency by manipulating the market against butters stupid enough to gamble on margin. The whole thing basically has the business model of a casino/pyramid scheme combined into one. Bitcoin doesn\'t run on electricity or software. It runs on sheer human stupidity, gullibility, and greed. MLMs like Harbalife largely function on the same principle (forcing the vast majority of suckers to eat their losses instead of guaranteeing an ultimately unsustainable return), which is why many MLMs have lasted for literally decades.\n\nSomething that u/thehoesmaketheman said on here that really stuck with me is that governments make pyramid schemes illegal because people love to "invest" in pyramid schemes otherwise. This can actually do profound damage to society if taken far enough, and while any given pyramid scheme might eventually collapse (depending on its structure), there will always be new schemes and new suckers. Crypto is a perfect space for generating both, as it is both digital and laughably unregulated. So I predict the Bitcoin/Crypto/Tether Rube Goldberg machine of stupidity and greed will keep going until governments finally wise up and make it illegal (if they ever do) because its just another scam at the end of the day.

The basic bitcoin scam -- investors giving money to miners, with no source of revenue that will ever return to them -- has already taken some 15 billion USD from the suckers who ever bought bitcoins. That is still short of the 19 billion estimate for what Madoff's investors actually lost. But if we add the similar losses through other coins, including Tether and Ethereum, the total may be already higher.\n\nHowever, the crytpo exchanges have probably taken even more money from the other suckers who day-trade crypto. Those exchanges can do all the dirty tricks against their clients that would be jail crimes if done by stock brokers or stock exchanges. \n\nBut Madoff's was (maybe) only the largest ponzi.

Crypto has improved on early scams in several ways. \n\nFor one thing, it is decentralized -- there is no central scammer, just a large flock of scammers who are united only by their selfish greed. It is the very mechanism that Satoshi invented, although used for a purpose that (I think) he did not foresee.\n\nFor another thing, crypto scammers managed to convince many governments, including the US, that cryptos are neither securities, nor currencies, nor bonds or whatever. They are claimed to be "a new asset class." Therefore, existing financial and investment regulators, like the US SEC, do not consider the crypto investment scam to be their problem. \n\nThird, while some previous investment frauds required the scammers to lie about the true nature of the "business", the nature of cryptos is open but just too complicated for people to understand, even when experts try to explain it to them. Its alleged value as investment also relies on economic theories that cannot be easily proved or disproved. Thus millions can still be convinced to invest in them, in spite of their fatal and unfixable flaws.\n\nFourth, unlike most previous frauds, crypto scammers do not promise immediate profits. They tell their marks that cryptos probably will be immensely valuable in some indeterminate future when they will replace national currencies, So investors do not feel cheated when the price fails to reach those levels in 5 years, or stagnates, or even drops by 80% for six months.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $0.2067, Ripple’s XRP revisited $0.2190 levels before easing back. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 0.25% to $0.21605. A mixed start to the day saw Ripple’s XRP fall to an early morning low $0.21526 before striking a high $0.21608. Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. For the day ahead Ripple’s XRP will need to move through the $0.2178 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.2232. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from $0.2200 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $0.2254 should cap any upside. In the event of a breakout, Ripple’s XRP should test the second major resistance level at $0.2308 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $0.2178 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.2101 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Ripple’s XRP should avoid sub-$0.21 leve Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9525.75, 9439.12, 9700.41, 9461.06, 10167.27, 9529.80, 9656.72, 9800.64, 9665.53, 9653.68, 9758.85, 9771.49, 9795.70, 9870.09, 9321.78, 9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

One sample tweet, sent from Bidens account, promised: All bitcoin sent to the below address will be sent back doubled! Twitter ( TWTR ) will have to answer for the hack, and the FBI is now investigating as well. According to Vice , the hack was carried out by an employee inside Twitter, who was paid to help the hackers by using an internal tool that changed the email address associated with the compromised accounts. Twitter on Wednesday night said the hack was a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees with access to internal systems and tools. But cryptocurrency scams on Twitter are nothing new, and they have targeted prominent accounts in the past. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter (Photo by Burhaan Kinu/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) The problem became rampant on Twitter in late 2017, when bitcoin was on a wild price ride . Bots promoting cryptocurrency giveaways would reply in droves to legitimate tweets from major tech figures like Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, or Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. The bot accounts would have the same photo and display name as the real person; the only way to tell it was fake was from checking the handle. These tweets would promise free bitcoin ( BTC ) or ether ( ETH ) if users would send crypto to a wallet address. (As a thank you to my followers, Im giving away 500 ETH! Click here! Just send 20 BTC to this address and we will immediately send back 40 BTC.) Elon Musk, in particular, was targeted incessantly, and tweeted in July 2018 that he wanted to know who was responsible for the scams, though he misspelled Ethereum. I want to know who is running the Etherium scambots! Mad skillz Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 8, 2018 Crypto scams on Twitter became so pervasive for a time that many crypto influencers on Twitter added not giving away ETH to their Twitter display names. Story continues In August 2018, the spam bots even targeted President Trump , replying to his tweets so that the spam tweets would nest below his real tweets. During the same period, spammers also hacked the accounts of real people with big followings, including the band Bad Religion and NBA player Monte Morris, and turned their accounts into fake Trump accounts. A hacked Twitter account, belonging to British rugby star Joe Joyce and taken over to look like President Trump's account, promotes a crypto scam on Aug. 1, 2018. You might think the spam tweets look so clearly fake that no one would fall for them, but people do. This latest crypto scam on Wednesday resulted in at least 12.5 bitcoin being sent to the wallet address shared in the spam tweets. That comes out to about $114,500 at the current bitcoin price, which isnt a lot considering that the compromised Twitter accounts had a collective 346 million followers, but it isnt nothing. Twitter, in the past, has said on the issue, We are aware of this form of manipulation and are proactively implementing a number of signals to prevent these types of accounts from engaging with others in a deceptive manner but has been criticized for not weeding out the problem effectively enough. This time, after a much more sinister example in which important accounts were compromised, Twitter will face far more public pressure to put a stop to such scams. The hack will also bring more scrutiny on CEO Jack Dorsey, a big bitcoin believer himself , who may not be able to pull double duty as CEO of both Twitter and Square for much longer.

What happened The Japanese company\'s unit Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies\xa0subcontracts manufacturing at the Texas A&M\xa0Center for Innovation in Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CIADM),\xa0a public-private partnership between Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and Texas A&M University. The U.S. government has reserved CIADM\'s capacity until December 2021 for the development of COVID-19 vaccines, such as a candidate from Novavax, Inc (NASDAQ: NVAX ), under Operation Warp Speed, which was described by HHS Secretary Alex Azar as “one of the largest vaccine manufacturing efforts in recent history.” Fujifilm earlier this week announced it had entered an agreement with Novavax to "manufacture bulk drug substance" for the Maryland-based company\'s coronavirus vaccine candidate at its site in Morrisville, North Carolina. The Tokyo-based company said "the technology transfer from\xa0North Carolina\xa0to\xa0Texas\xa0will begin in late 2020 with expanded mass production of the vaccine candidate starting in early 2021." Novavax has received $1.6 billion in federal funding for the\xa0NVX-CoV2373 vaccine candidate. Why It Matters Manufacturing and distribution of a potential vaccine is a key obstacle with manufacturers preparing to overcome such challenges even before a safe vaccine is found to be able to faster deliver the successful candidate, CNBC noted earlier. On Sunday, Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA ) said it received another $472 million dollars from the Trump administration, in addition to the original $483 million it was awarded in support of its vaccine candidate. The company also started the late-stage testing for its coronavirus vaccine on Monday, alongside another candidate developed by Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE ) and its German partner BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX ). Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) is expecting to start the late-stage clinical trials for its vaccine candidate ahead of schedule in September.

The Aussie Dollar and Japanese Yen were in focus early in the day, as was economic data out of China. Away from the economic calendar, key risks remained in focus, while the Asian markets responded to news from the U.S. The good news continued to be the COVID-19 numbers that remained on the lower side in spite of the easing in lockdown measures. While plenty of downside risks remain, including consumer sentiment, it’s certainly good news for the markets. A COVID-19 vaccine would address the uncertainty over consumer sentiment globally… Looking at the latest coronavirus numbers, On Tuesday, the number of new coronavirus cases rose by 112,694 to 6,470,911. On Monday, the number of new cases had risen by 95,146. While the daily increase was higher than Monday’s rise and 95,878 new cases from the previous Tuesday. France, Germany, Italy, and Spain reported 938 new cases on Tuesday, which was down from 1,018 new cases on Monday. On the previous Tuesday, 1,535 new cases had been reported. Significantly, all 4 member states reported less than 300 cases each for a 2 nd consecutive day. From the U.S, the total number of cases rose by 21,208 to 1,879,665 on Tuesday. On Monday, the total number of cases had risen by 21,287. On Tuesday 26 th May, a total of 19,185 new cases had been reported. For the Japanese Yen May’s finalized service sector PMI came in at 26.5, which was up from an April 21.5 and a prelim 25.3. The Japanese Yen moved from ¥108.719 to ¥108.742 upon release of the figures. At the time of writing, the Japanese Yen was up by 0.10% to ¥108.57 against the U.S Dollar. For the Aussie Dollar It was a busy morning for the Aussie Dollar, with housing sector data for April in focus along with May’s service sector PMI. The headline, however, was 1 st quarter GDP numbers, which were expected to be quite dire… Story continues Looking at the stats: Building approvals fell by 1.8%, following a 2.6% fall in March, which was far better than a forecasted fall of 15.0%. The services PMI continued to struggle in May. The PMI came in at 26.9, which was up from an April 19.5 and prelim 25.5. In the 1 st quarter, the economy contracted by 0.3%, quarter-on-quarter, following a 0.5% expansion in the 4 th quarter. Economists had forecast a contraction of 0.3%. Year-on-year, the economy grew by 1.4% that was softer than 2.2% in the 4 th quarter. This was also in line with forecasts. This was the slowest through the year growth since Q3 2009. According to the ABS , A number of factors hit the Australian economy, including the bushfires and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Government spending limited the impact, with public demand contributing 0.3 percentage points to GDP. This came from a 1.8% rise in government final consumption expenditure. By contrast, public demand detracted 0.8 percentage points from GDP. This came from a 1.1% slide in household final consumption expenditure. Net trade contributed 0.5 percentage points to GDP. Imports of goods fell 3.9%, with imports of services sliding by 13.6%. Exports of services fell by 12.8%. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.69680 to $0.69506 upon release of the statement. At the time of writing, the Aussie Dollar up by 0.54% at $0.6934. From China The Caixin Services PMI rose from 44.4 to 55.0 in May. According to the May Caixin Services PMI survey , Business activity and new work rose at the quickest rate since late 2010. It marked the first increase in activity for 4-months. A resumption in business operations and improved client demand led to a first uptick in total new orders since January. The rate of expansion was the sharpest since September 2010 and the historical average. Domestic demand delivered as new export business continued to tumble in May. This weak overseas demand was attributed to the continued lockdown measures in place through much of May. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.69506 to $0.69449 upon release of the figures. Elsewhere At the time of writing, the Kiwi Dollar was up by 0.63% to $0.6411. The Day Ahead: For the EUR It’s a busy day ahead on the economic calendar . May’s service sector PMIs for Italy and Spain are due out in the early part of the European session. Finalized PMIs from France, Germany, and the Eurozone will also draw attention. We are looking for a services sector rebound to drive hiring and economic recovery. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, even the ECB had been looking towards services for support. That then brings Germany’s unemployment figures for May into focus. The good news, however, is that the EU has agreed on a bazooka of a recovery plan that could see the markets brush aside the numbers. Dire numbers, however, could test the theory that the recovery will be a swift one to pre-pandemic levels. At the time of writing, the EUR was up by 0.30% to $1.1203. For the Pound It’s a relatively busy day ahead on the economic calendar . May’s finalized services and composite PMIs are due out later this morning. While downward revisions will test the Pound, updates from EU – UK Brexit talks will likely be the key drivers on the day. There was a hint of compromise from the UK government in the earlier part of the week. If that translates into a compromise with the EU on fishing rights then there may be the hope of some kind of blueprint… We have also heard the chatter of a transition period extension that would also be a boost… At the time of writing, the Pound was up by 0.25% to $1.2583. Across the Pond It’s a busy day ahead on the U.S economic calendar. The markets preferred ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI for May and ADP nonfarm employment change figures are due out. We are expecting another slump in nonfarm. We are not expecting weaker ISM PMI numbers, however. A fall in the ISM non-manufacturing PMI from April levels would check the market’s buoyant mood. On the geopolitical front, the markets can’t ignore events in the U.S forever… Trump is heading for the Oval Office exit door at a rapid pace if things don’t change. Or is he? The Dollar Spot Index was down by 0.24% to 97.438 at the time of writing. For the Loonie It’s a busy day ahead on the economic calendar . While economic data is limited to 1 st quarter productivity, the Bank of Canada is delivering its June monetary policy decision. Risk sentiment has picked up and hopes are of an economic rebound that has fueled a rally in oil prices. Will the BoC see it the same way? Expect a more conservative view, though we’re not expecting the Loonie to sink. OPEC Plus chatter and U.S EIA inventory numbers will influence, however. The BoC is fully aware of the risks to crude oil price stability and the impact on the Canadian economy. Some Loonie weakness wouldn’t be a bad thing… At the time of writing, the Loonie was up by 0.11% to C$1.3504 against the U.S Dollar.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.02% on Tuesday. Following Monday’s 11.01% breakout, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,932. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $11,263 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,634, Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $10,590. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,200, Bitcoin moved back through to $11,200 levels. A bearish end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin give up the $11,000 handle to end the day in the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest run at $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Ethereum joined Bitcoin in the red, with a 1.49% loss. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC and Cardano’s ADA led the way, with gains of 7.54% and 7.83% respectively. Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.73%), EOS (+5.06%), Litecoin (+4.61%), Monero’s XMR (+3.77%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+3.66%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+2.27%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.67%), Tezos (+0.47%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.26%) trailed the front runners. At the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $285.49bn to a high $335.80bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $315.11bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.43% to a Tuesday high 64.57% before easing back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.88%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.06% to $10,925. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,994 before falling to a low $10,915.6. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Tezos was up by 0.10%, at the time of writing, to buck the trend. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA was down by 1.85% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the $10,928 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,267. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,200 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $11,263 would likely cap any upside.

The CEO of this Bay Area tokenization firm spent over two years crusading for a peer-to-peer tradable fund. Borda developed compliance-appeasing token standards, hired regulatory veterans to lead his transfer agent subsidiaries and even moved Tokensoft into the same San Francisco high-rise as the SEC\x92s West Coast enforcement wing (albeit on a different floor). The effort paid off earlier this month: In early July, the SEC granted a notice of effectiveness to ArCoin, a cryptographically-traded U.S. Treasury Fund pursued by digital asset manager Arca Labs and designed by Tokensoft. It\x92s the first Ethereum blockchain-native investment fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (a so-called \x9140 Act Fund ). Related: Arca's Flagship Crypto Hedge Fund is Up 77% in 2020 Read more: Arca Labs Launches Ethereum-Based SEC-Registered Fund ArCoin\x92s registration marks a shift in the regulator\x92s tolerance for public blockchain investment vehicles, Borda said. He and Arca CEO Rayne Steinberg both said ArCoins could light the way for future offerings with similarly decentralized structures. But regulatory filings capture just how hard-fought first that victory was. Long road Arca signaled its earliest interest in offering a U.S Treasury Fund in an SEC filing from November 2018. Over the next 605 days, it filed volleys of prospectus amendments as nearly 10 different evolutions of what would eventually become ArCoins repeatedly hit a regulatory wall. Related: SEC, CFTC Hit Crypto App Abra With $300K in Penalties Over Illegal Swaps Steinberg said there was no guarantee his firm\x92s costly regulatory campaign would ultimately prevail. Tokensoft signed on as Arca\x92s tokenization specialist in July 2019, Borda told CoinDesk. Even then, a full year passed before ArCoin finally cleared that regulatory wall. Story continues \x93This took a lot of backchanneling with the SEC,\x94 Borda said. 10 floors apart Borda said one benefit of running a compliance-focused tokenization firm from his high-rise in San Francisco\x92s Financial District is that SEC regulators asking questions about his proposals are just an elevator ride away. \x93There was a case where I received a call the night before to do a presentation in the morning because the Crypto Czar was in town,\x94 Borda said, explaining office proximity (Tokensoft is on floor 38, the SEC is on floor 28) made \x93meetings a lot more accessible.\x94 That can be handy when meeting topics are as potentially contentious and fraught as the marriage of public blockchains and regulated investment vehicles. The SEC has been reticent to approve crypto-tied proposals before, perhaps most visibly in its ongoing denial of a bitcoin ETF.

Officials with the U.S. central bank, led by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, said Wednesday the economy is encountering such a drastic toll from the coronavirus that joblessness is expected to remain elevated for at least three years.

We follow the money so you don’t have to. You can subscribe here . That means Fed officials expect to keep interest rates close to zero through 2022, while pumping at least $120 billion a month of freshly created money into the financial system for the foreseeable future. The officials said they see little chance of runaway inflation in the near future because the economic downturn has harshly crimped consumer demand and high unemployment is eliminating any upward pressure on wages. Prices for bitcoin, seen by many investors as a hedge against inflation, rose on the news , as cryptocurrency analysts said the longer the central bank sticks to its loose-money stance, the higher the chances of inflation down the road. “We can be quite assured that the printing presses aren’t getting any rest tonight, nor any night for quite a while to come,” Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign-exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantum Economics, told subscribers in an email. Related: First Mover: Fed Sees No Inflation Through 2021, but Bitcoiners Are Betting on It Anyway Just this year, the Federal Reserve has already expanded its balance sheet by about $3 trillion to a total of $7.2 trillion. And Kevin Kelly, co-founder at the analysis firm Delphi Digital, told First Mover in a Telegram message the dismal economic outlook means governments may have to pump in more fiscal stimulus to jumpstart growth. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office forecasts the federal government’s budget deficit will hit $3.7 trillion this year, more than double the previous record shortfall of $1.4 trillion in 2009. Story continues “Such a backdrop is clearly conducive for hedges against currency debasement,” Kelly said. Scott Bambacigno, a vice president at crypto exchange software provider AlphaPoint, told CoinDesk’s Daniel Cawrey that “ the Fed can print money but they cannot print jobs .” “Assets like gold and bitcoin should do well if the economy continues in this direction,” he said. Bitcoin prices have surged 36% this year, partly on expectations the largest cryptocurrency by market value might serve as a hedge against inflation. Economists including Steve Hanke of Johns Hopkins University have written that hyperinflation episodes in Zimbabwe, revolutionary France, and elsewhere, have historically occurred when “ when the supply of money had no natural constraints .” So far, inflation has remained muted. Rising unemployment damps wage growth and consumer demand, reducing upward pressure on prices for goods and services. “We’re not even thinking about thinking about raising rates,” Powell said Wednesday, in a televised conference. A summary of economic projections released Wednesday by the Fed show that top officials at the central bank expect U.S. inflation to stay below the 2% target for the next three years. Prices for personal consumption expenditures are expected to climb just 1% this year, down from a December projection of 1.9%, according to the document. Inflation will average 1.5% next year and 1.7% in 2022, the officials projected. As reported earlier this week in First Mover , bond traders also see little threat of inflation anytime soon. And data released Wednesday reinforced the reality that, for the moment, inflation is nowhere to be found. The U.S. Labor Department said Wednesday that another closely followed inflation gauge, the consumer price index , or CPI, climbed just 0.1% over the past 12 months, partly due to this year’s collapse in oil and other energy-related costs. Excluding food and energy items, the so-called core CPI climbed 1.2% over the past year, less than half the rate of just a few months ago. It was the weakest core inflation readings since 2011, according to Scott Anderson, chief economist at the French bank BNP Paribas’ Bank of the West unit. “Our forecast is for core consumer price inflation to continue to moderate year-on-year into early 2021 before turning the corner on reviving growth,” he said in an email Wednesday. But David Hendler, principal with the bank-analysis firm Viola Risk Advisors, says it’s just a matter of time. “There’s huge inflation ahead,” Hendler said in a phone interview. “It’s only offset because there’s so many people not working. As people go back to work, there will be all this money sloshing around.” Greg Cipolaro, co-founder of the analysis firm Digital Asset Research, says bitcoin’s allure as a potential hedge against inflation dovetails with increasing interest in cryptocurrencies among institutional investors. The money-management giant Fidelity Investments said Tuesday that, in a survey of almost 800 financial advisors, pension funds, family wealth-management offices and other institutional investors, a majority responded that digital assets “ have a place in their investment portfolio .” And on Wednesday, the bitcoin-futures exchange Bakkt and cryptocurrency trading firm Galaxy Digital said they were collaborating to provide a trading and custody solution for big investors. If inflation is coming, now might be the time to hedge against it. “Predicting the timing of inflation is very difficult,” Cipolaro said in a phone interview. “That’s still a wild card.” Tweet of the day Bitcoin watch BTC : Price: $9,805 ( BPI ) \| 24-Hr High: $9,980 \| 24-Hr Low: $9,724 Trend : Bitcoin is flashing red, having failed to overcome key resistance at $10,000 on Wednesday, despite the U.S. Federal Reserve pledge to keep interest rates at record lows through 2022. Right now, the top cryptocurrency by market value is trading just under $9,800, representing a 1% decline on the day. Prices rose 1.2% on Wednesday but, again, failed to close above the $10,000 mark. Over the last five months, the cryptocurrency has faced multiple rejections in the $10,000 to $10,500 range. Analysts are citing the February high of $10,500 as the level bulls need to beat. Once that level has been crossed, the focus could shift to resistances lined up at $10,950 (the September 2019 high) and $12,325 (the August 2019 high). Indeed, the relentless slide in the number of bitcoins held on exchanges indicates investors remain confident about the prospects of a continued movement upward. The macro environment also supports bullish price action. The combination of increased monetary and fiscal stimulus is widely expected to boost inflation and hedging demand for bitcoin. Just last month, high-profile trader Paul Tudor Jones II said he held 1%-2% of his assets in bitcoin, citing it as a new hedge against inflation. However, resistance at $10,000 has remained intact for far too long – quick progress will be needed else traders might start to sell. If that happens, the market could test dip demand with a notable drop to $9,000. If that’s breached, the higher low – the next support level – at $8,630, which was only created on May 27, will likely be tested again.

Technical Patterns, Future Expectations and More – Part II', 'The swing trade took one month to play out and we had to sit through a lot of noise, but the price structure never turned bearish, even though it appeared questionable at times.\nThe question everyone is asking: now a good time to buy? And in terms of our long-only swing trade strategy, the answer is NO. Why not? It looks strong now? The risk of retrace after such a move is very high. This is NOT a location that offers attractive reward/risk, even though price appears to be pushing higher.\nNow that we are out of our position, we WAIT for the next long setup and this begins with first anticipating an inflection point. At the moment, that point is the 10,400 area. This is the previous range resistance, which is now likely to act as a new support. IF price can retrace to this area, and produce a setup, we will be prompted to share a new swing trade idea. It may find support sooner, but only price action can provide the evidence and there is nothing at the moment except for vertical candles.\nThis is Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9461.06, 10167.27, 9529.80, 9656.72, 9800.64, 9665.53, 9653.68, 9758.85, 9771.49, 9795.70, 9870.09, 9321.78, 9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace . From how porn performers and entrepreneurs deal with Bitcoin Twitter to the ways the pandemic changed our digital sex lives, Cuen and Allie explore what actually drives demand for censorship-resistant systems. The biggest problem? Allie and other performers and sex workers basically have their digital advertising and distribution platforms controlled by third parties that aren’t responsible to the workers. For example, OnlyFans briefly froze Allie’s account earlier this year. Although she regained access, her distribution conduits remain at the mercy of tech platforms. This is where peer-to-peer transactions come in. Allie said she knows how to use a cryptocurrency wallet and would gladly do so if more customers wanted to pay her directly. The fact is, those customers are few and far between. “To those people who want to come up with a solution, my first question is: Well, are you paying for porn?” she said. “I think a lot of people want to make money off of ‘adult’, but they aren’t really willing to invest in ‘adult.’” Related: How the Porn Industry Changed During Coronavirus, With Performers Wary of Bitcoin See also: Why Lightning Payments Aren’t Clicking for Porn Companies (Just Yet) Another major issue, according to Allie, is an increase in traffic or visibility doesn’t always translate to profits. Plus, many crypto fans see her industry as something they want to profit from, by building their own tech solutions rather than contribute to experienced performers. Story continues Compared to other bitcoin or ether holders, sex workers are even more likely to rely on social networks like Twitter than exchanges like Coinbase, which de-platforms them just like PayPal. Performers require either a high degree of technical skill, to use decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms like Bisq , or a de facto social liquidity network in order to use cryptocurrency without trusting third parties. Allie shares why she is excited about cryptocurrency, even if it’s a challenge to use it for censorship resistance.

Much to even the founder’s surprise, it has not only survived, it has accumulated a loyal following. Clearly. A group of teenagers on the extremely popular but recently beleaguered social platform TikTok decided to use their voice and audience to move the price of dogecoin up. It has nothing to do with fundamentals, potential or even government handouts – most participants probably don’t even understand what cryptocurrency is (many of the videos refer to DOGE as a “stock”). It’s about manipulation, just because. Why is this relevant? Because it is an irresistibly fluffy yet alarming symptom that trust is fundamentally broken in markets.

Authored by CoinDesk’s head of research, Noelle Acheson, it goes out every Sunday and offers a recap of the week – with insights and analysis – from a professional investor’s point of view. You can subscribe here . When you have the next generation of investors blatantly flaunting that markets are a meaningless casino, when you have them advertising that markets can be manipulated, then you do have to wonder what role markets will have in their lives as they get older. And much like the day traders picking stocks from a bag of Scrabble tiles, this does raise questions about the role of facts in our interpretation of value. When markets don’t make any sense, when fundamentals no longer seem to matter, it becomes clear the rules are being rewritten or even thrown out the window. We could be in the creative destruction phase that will give way to a new wave of innovation. And in that wave, new types of assets could have a respectable place in new types of portfolios. Story continues Related: Money Reimagined: COVID-19's Crash Course in Exponential Math Meanwhile, however, the untethered nature of current price logic is disconcerting, and a reminder that creative destruction can be vicious to those caught in the transition. Uncertainty is not good for trust, and a lack of trust is not good for progress. So, while I can chuckle with glee at the adorable takes that I can’t resist sharing with you here… …I’m also wondering what will have changed most in markets two to three years from now. Maybe sanity will have been restored. Or maybe this is sane in comparison to what’s coming. A Coinbase listing would not necessarily be good for the market We can’t not talk about the unconfirmed rumors that Coinbase is planning a stock market listing. These rumors are not new, but they have suddenly taken on a renewed relevance. Earlier this week, Reuters reported on the plans, citing sources familiar with the matter. And Coinbase has called an investor meeting, sparking speculation as to why. Should this happen, it would be a big deal for the cryptocurrency industry, but not necessarily the boost many seem to think. It would be a big deal for three main reasons: 1) It would focus a lot of mainstream attention on the industry as a whole, as financial reporters throw around the word “crytpo,” as equity analysts scramble to produce reports and as investors are taken aback by the sheer numbers at play in these relatively overlooked markets. 2) We the public would finally get detailed insight into the inner workings and accounts of one of the industry’s most prominent businesses (as an analyst, I’m really looking forward to that). 3) It would provide a listed and liquid opportunity for investors to get exposure to the cryptocurrencies. This could put crypto, albeit indirectly, within reach of any investor, retail or institutional, and possibly give it a home in pension funds, exchange-traded funds, 401(k)s, etc. How would this boost the cryptocurrency markets? Increased mainstream attention could encourage more people to learn about cryptocurrency fundamentals, and possibly trigger a wave of new investment. Also, new funding from an initial public offering could mean further growth for Coinbase through a broader reach or a more extensive service. Now here is where the “buts” come in. Rather than an IPO, the move could merely represent a handsome exit for the initial investors through a direct listing. Even if so, however, it would set up a pipeline for further financing, which could influence growth further down the road. And, this is even more important, a public listing of a significant company such as Coinbase would not necessarily encourage mainstream crypto exposure. Investment would be going into a company, not the cryptocurrency market. True, the investment in that private company could encourage more investment in the cryptocurrency market further down the line, but the effect would not be linear. It could even be a self-defeating proposition. Investors en masse could choose to buy shares in Coinbase instead of buying cryptocurrency directly, which ironically could end up hurting Coinbase’s prospects. Ok, that’s an extreme extension of the theory, but it’s not totally out of the question. The net effect of a Coinbase listing, or any other significant cryptocurrency business heading to the frothy stock markets, could be net positive for crypto assets. But it may not be the investment trigger many are hoping for. Hashrate highs Bitcoin ’s hashrate has hit an all-time seven-day moving average high, less than two months after a miner reward halving led to a 40% drop as unprofitable mining equipment was switched off. The hashrate metric is significant in that it is a proxy for network security – the higher the hashrate, the more computational power is spent on validating transactions and maintaining the network. So, the hashrate reaching all-time seven-day average highs is being taken as a bullish signal by some. But the numbers don’t bear that theory out. As we can see, usually after a hashrate peak, both price and hashrate fall over a seven-day and 30-day timeframe. But not always. So, hashrate is worth keeping an eye on, because a growing hashrate indicates growing confidence in the cryptocurrency’s outlook. But it should not be used as a trading signal without a lot of caution and additional information. Anyone know what’s going on yet? You’re probably all aware of how previously underused and reconfigured words and phrases have been given a new life with the current crisis. “Lockdown,” “social distancing,” not to mention “unprecedented”… And some new words are emerging. Here’s one: coronacoaster. I kid you not. The market has been alternating between fits of euphoria and depression. With the highs higher than the lows, the net effect is up. The main new factor that impacted the market over the last week was the sharp rise and fall in the Chinese market. While not a large market by U.S. standards, this rally underlines a significant difference in market influences. In the case of the U.S., part of the rally has been encouraged by likes of Davy Day Trader, pushing the retail frenzy to new highs. Whilst, in China, the stock market moves were largely from the government telling retail investors to buy. And then, to not buy. The bitcoin market, meanwhile, has been … well … uninteresting in terms of price and volumes. Maybe a strong breakout is building, maybe not, and either way, who knows in which direction. Meanwhile the developments in the sector are galloping forward as you will see below in CHAIN LINKS, so the lack of notable market trends does not mean that we get to put down our pencils for a bit and take a breather. Unfortunately. CHAIN LINKS Los Angeles-based fund manager Arca has launched its Arca U.S. Treasury Fund, an SEC-registered closed-end fund that invests in U.S. T-bills and notes, and whose digital shares – ArCoins – move on the ethereum blockchain. TAKEAWAY: This is the first time the SEC has allowed a fund represented by blockchain-based tokens to trade under the 40 Act. Technically the fund’s shares will be crypto asset investments, although their value will be based on one of the most stable securities available: short-term U.S. government debt. This is fascinating because it could change the perception that markets and regulators have of crypto assets in general, and it could start to wake general capital markets up to alternative trading mechanisms. Whether this fund takes off or not, it is a pioneering step towards what could be the capital markets of tomorrow. Kraken Futures, previously known as Crypto Facilities, has been granted a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) license from the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority. TAKEAWAY: This makes Crypto Facilities the first licensed crypto derivatives platform for the European market, and we could soon see the launch of EUR-denominated crypto products. The London Stock Exchange Group has added 169 digital assets to its SEDOL Masterfile service, a global database that assigns unique identifiers to financial instruments. This helps LSEG customers keep track of traded assets from execution to settlement. TAKEAWAY: This is not an official seal of “approval,” but it’s worth asking why they would do this if it’s not to include digital assets in their offering at some point in the future. The CFTC , which regulates the U.S. bitcoin and ether derivatives markets, plans to develop a digital asset innovation blueprint by 2024. TAKEAWAY: That may sound like a long time in the future, but in terms of new regulatory frameworks, it’s actually not, and it does strongly suggest the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is already working on it. So, we can expect more investigation, communication and events from the world’s principal derivatives regulator over the coming months, which should hint at the stance global derivatives regulators around the w... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

No one knows exactly how a second wave of coronavirus infections might affect traditional or digital-asset markets. Some analysts argue that better preparation and existing restrictions mean the effects could be more muted. In order to minimize disruption, governments might move quickly to isolate outbreaks, rather than resorting to further large-scale lockdowns.

Related: Blockchain Bites: Trump on Bitcoin, Powell on Digital Dollars and the Truth About Terrorist Financing But the action in markets last week might have provided glimpse of how things would play out in the event that the contagion came back – or even if doubts emerged about the prospects for an economic recovery. Stocks and bitcoin tumbled last week amid concerns the number of cases is rising and as the Federal Reserve warned a full economic recovery isn’t likely for at least three years. Markets recovered quickly, partly due to an announcement of fresh stimulus from the Federal Reserve. But cryptocurrency analysts say the episode shows bitcoin might tumble anew if traditional markets swoon again. “Should a second wave hit this year, bitcoin will likely continue moving in correlation with the overall market,” Jonathan Leong, CEO of BTSE exchange, said in comments to First Mover. Related: Bitcoin Still Undervalued After Q2 Rally, Price Metric Shows Cases are rising around the globe as the coronavirus spreads through the herd of humanity. Story continues After more than 50 days without a reported case, health authorities in Beijing reported 36 new cases on Saturday, believed to have been carried in on imported salmon sold at a local market. City officials shut down surrounding neighborhoods, and major supermarkets pulled salmon from shelves. Daily records of new cases have also cropped up some U.S. states that have started reopening, including Florida, Texas and Arizona . In France, where President Emmanuel Macron declared a “ first victory ” against the illness and reopened cafes and restaurants, he has warned the pandemic could easily return. The risk has spurred some cryptocurrency analysts to start asking how bitcoin might perform if conditions took a turn for the worse. The memories are still fresh of the sell-off on March 12, now known as “Black Thursday,” when the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks tumbled almost 10%, and bitcoin fell 39%. Rapid pledges of trillions of dollars of liquidity injections by central banks helped to put a floor under markets. By mid-May, central banks and governments had injected roughly $15 trillion into the global economy . Both bitcoin and U.S. stocks recovered. Over the past week, the pattern returned. From last Thursday through Monday, the S&P 500 fell by nearly 7% and bitcoin tumbled, too. The markets rebounded after the Federal Reserve announced Monday it would start buying individual corporate bonds as part of an expanded program that might eventually reach $750 billion of total assets. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) also announced it was ready to pump an additional trillion dollars’ worth of yen into local companies. “The latest demonstration of seemingly unlimited central bank support drowned out the worrying news,” Michael Mackenzie wrote in his Market Forces newsletter for the Financial Times. For the past several months, bitcoin and U.S. stocks have shown a weak but persistent correlation. Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign-exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantitative Economics, wrote Tuesday in an email to subscribers that the question of whether bitcoin will crash with stocks “keeps coming up lately.” “The clearer it gets that we may be in for further pain in the stock markets, the more people want to know if bitcoin will again participate in a multi-asset sell-off,” he wrote. Investors are likely to be “a lot more prepared” for a second crash, he said, and there’s a possibility that a “bout of extreme volatility could break the correlation” between bitcoin and stocks. “Of course, it’s only a theory,” Greenspan said. Tweet of the day Bitcoin watch BTC : Price: $9,434 ( BPI ) \| 24-Hr High: $9,557 \| 24-Hr Low: $9,240 Trend: Bitcoin continues to defend key support and may challenge the $10,000 market in the short term. The leading cryptocurrency by market value is currently trading near $9,440, having defended the ascending (bullish) 50-day moving average (MA) support at $9,375 early on Thursday. Sellers have repeatedly failed to establish a strong foothold below the 50-day SMA in the last week. So far bitcoin has not been able to capitalize on the dip demand, or seller exhaustion, seen below the average support. The range play, however, could soon end with a breakout on the higher side, according to bullish developments on the three-day chart. To start with, the 50- and 100-candle MAs have produced a bull cross for the first time June 2016. Back then, the confirmation of the bullish crossover had accelerated the preceding uptrend. Similarly, bitcoin broke into a bull market in the October 2015 following a bull cross of the same two averages. In addition, the cryptocurrency created a classic long-tailed bullish hammer candle in the three-days to June 17, marking a strong dip demand near support at $8,876. That level marks the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the rally from $3,867 to $10,429. With the three-day chart reporting bullish patterns, technical traders may enter the market, lifting prices higher. The immediate resistance is seen at $9,566, followed by $10,000. On the downside, the Fibonacci support at $8,876 is the level to beat for the sellers.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.04% to $11,800. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $11,788 before rising to a high $11,845. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.09%), Ethereum (+0.45%), Monero’s XMR (+0.30%), Stellar’s Limen (+0.58%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.87%) found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however, with Litecoin down by 0.87% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,625 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,023. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $11,843. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $12,241. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,625 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,407 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $11,009 and sub-$11,000 levels.

And consensus is a way for a bunch of people who may disagree on things to agree to a singular fact that they then execute. So imagine if Congress actually had bipartisan support to unilaterally pass a bill every 10 minutes… That’s basically what’s occurring in Bitcoin. There’s nothing more political than money because money affects everything else, and yet Bitcoin works. I think there are a lot of people looking at trying to reform the governance structures of the places that they’re in, what they really should be doing is looking at things like Bitcoin and frameworks using blockchains to say, “OK, how can we come to consensus over this or that governance issue of which money would be one… But I think the most transformative and phenomenal thing it’ll do is, Nakamoto Consensus and then just blockchain governance writ large is a phenomenal way to have self governance. We see these breakdowns and these desires to federate cities and the way decisions are made, [but] maybe rather than turning to a government based political solution, a community based solution using something like a blockchain would be something with a lot greater staying power and impact.”– Jonathan Mohan On today’s show we’re going back to basics. Whilebitcoinand digital bearer assets in general are an incredibly important technology, the reason they’re likely to be important to the future has little to do with the token and everything to do with the context surrounding them: The world we live in every day, where government-controlled money is abused for the benefit of the few and to the detriment of the many. Related: Topics: • For whom is the economy still working, and who is not being served? • What’s wrong with money that makes alternatives attractive? • Why and how is Bitcoin disconnected from the current system? • What’s the value in the U.S .and western Europe compared to the value in less developed parts of the world? • What role does speculation play in the story of bitcoin? • Bitcoin’s been around now for more than 20 years. Are we on track to make a difference? What’s the normal adoption curve for disruptive or revolutionary technologies? • What IS a disruptive or revolutionary technology? Who or what is bitcoin potentially disrupting? • Does being part of the bitcoin community make you politically affiliated, or represent a distinct political viewpoint? Selected excerpts from this week’s discussion: “Money, because it’s central to markets, which are central to the ways we organize societies, is one of the most powerful technological tools that exists. If you then put the control of that technological tool in the hands of a monopolistic entity of any kind, whether that’s Facebook libra or the U.S. dollar under the Federal Reserve or whatever else it is, what happens is that that tool can be used to exert power on the way society is governed and on the way resources are allocated in a non-transparent way that is not subject to political correction or adjustment by democratic means. And when you take a tool that’s that powerful and take it out of the oversight and control of democratic institutions, then it attracts the kinds of sociopaths who want to control that lever of power, and they use it to distort the market in their favor. And that’s the really dangerous aspect of money, because it’s not simply neutral fuel for an economy or some forms of it are not neutral fuel for the economy. I’ve talked about this in the past as, money is a system of control in addition to its function of medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value. And when it can be used more effectively as a system of control, then it starts losing its utility as a medium of exchange, a unit of account and a store of value because its power as a system of control is so intoxicating and so overpowering that it erases all other uses of it. And that’s exactly what we see. Centralized money is no longer offering useful signaling of value, no longer offering using unit of account measurement, it’s not serving as a good store of value and increasingly not as an open, free, highly liquid medium of exchange because its use as a system of control has overridden all those considerations.” –Andreas M. Antonopoulos * * * It seems like the past hundred years and the statements made publicly now and in perpetuity is that dollars will always go down and stocks will always go up. So there are fundamentally two types of Americans, those who have their life savings in dollars and those who have it in stocks. And the crazy thing with stocks, unless you’re part of the racket every now and then they completely collapse. So even that’s a rigged game. What I like about Bitcoin is it’s a way to be a part of neither game. I don’t get to insider trade like a congressman, and I also don’t have all of my life savings stolen from me because that 3% raise I get every year is completely wiped out by money manipulation.– Jonathan Mohan See also:‘We Need 30 Different Words for Censorship,’ Feat. Andreas M. Antonopoulos * * * “This entire experiment and civilization [was] founded on the idea that we have a ladder with rungs on it and a reset button. So you fall down the ladder, you hit the reset button and you can start climbing back up it. And every time the government massively overcorrects or disproportionately gives money out into the ecosystem, they’re pulling out a rung from the ladder…”– Jonathan Mohan * * * “Capitalism without the risk of failure, isn’t.”– Andreas M. Antonopoulos * * * “One of the most phenomenal things that America did was the idea of bankruptcy. This idea that you could fail and that your family wouldn’t be debt slaves to try to repay it. This idea of a serial entrepreneur was kind of invented here because the economic concept of a reset button existed here, and what we’re seeing is the death of the reset button. …[T]he way they’re accomplishing that is by pulling up the rungs of the ladder. So it’s a failure on two sides at the same time…”– Jonathan Mohan Credits This episode of Let’s Talk Bitcoin features Stephanie Murphy, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine and Jonathan Mohan.

When will it be profitable to crack a 12 word phrase?', 15, '2020-08-03 00:05', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/i2krgx/possibility_of_a_brute_forcing_industry_arising/', 'I was conducting a thought experiment regarding brute forcing mnemonic seeds and wondered what circumstances would have to arise for it become profitable. I know that this would probably never be practical but I was still curious.\n\nthe current hashrate is 110EH per second. so one block for every 66000 Exohashes\n\nassume moores law continues as it has been, if someone knew a wallet had 1 blocks worth of BTC, and ASICs could be created in the future solely for this purpose, when would a 12 word mnemonic seed brute force be profitable?\n\nassuming the checksum is just as hard to crack as the other words to be conservative, the amount of hashes would be 2048\\^(x), where x is the amount of missing words.\n\npunching 2048\\^(x)=66(10\\^21) into wolfram alpha, X approaches 7. so right now the answer is 7.\n\nin 6 years, hashing power of the network has increased approx. 1000 times.\n\nassuming this continues (which it wont due to physical constraints of microelectronics causing diminishing returns) then approx. every 6 years you need an additional word to protect 1 block of btc.\n\n66(10\\^24)=2048\\^x. X will approach 8\n\n2020+6\\*(number of words)=2050 for an additional 5 words.\n\nSo around 2050, cracking a 12 word mnemonic seed would take the network 10 minutes hypothetically. The block reward will be around 6.25/(2\\^7)=0.0488BTC.

So the mining hardware is not remotely near the same complexity or using the same algorithms. Mining hardware only attains it's speed by pipelining the sha256 cycles and being able to start a new cycle on each increment of input counter, and iirc it uses various shortcuts. It's probably possible, though far more complex, to do this with PBKDF2 but it would not help at all with trying to find a specific seed. You'd have to be scanning all seeds for any wallet, and you would be excluding all wallets with passphrases. PBKDF2 is designed specifically to be slow whereas sha256 was designed to be fast. \n\nThen on each cycle of generating a seed, xprv and xpub you'd have to look up in a utxo table to see if any of first N addresses has an output. This is all vastly slower than the cycle speed of current mining hardware and not something that is improving at the same rate, ie. RAM speeds have peaked for a long time already (assuming you load the utxo set into RAM).\n\nThere are so many differences here you should just throw out any comparison and start from scratch.

Today's Key News: ['The rain has come. The machines are humming. This should be the best time of the year for China’sbitcoinminers. The monsoon season, generally from June to October, brings excessive rain and thus cheap hydro electricity.\nBut this year is different, proving to be harder than ever for China’s bitcoin miners and mining farm operators who areestimatedto dominate 65% of the global multi-billion dollar bitcoin mining industry.\nSince last summer,many miningfarm operators rushed to build new facilities in China’s southwestern region in anticipation of a dramatic price rise with bitcoin’s halving.\nRelated:Bitcoin Miners Saw 7% Revenue Increase in July\nButmining difficultyhas now almost doubled compared to the monsoon season last year, while block rewards have halved, meaning it is more difficult to mine, with less rewards. Bitcoin miners that have entered the market since last year have to wait much longer to see a return on their investment in mining hardware and facilities.\nThomas Heller, global business director of mining pool F2Pool, summarized the situation in a recentblog post: “We’re halfway through 2020 and the mining industry has already faced several enormous challenges.”\n“Miners had to battle off the macroeconomic black swan of March, pass through the smoke of the halving and a pandemic, and now they’re gearing up for the rest of the year’s competitive battlefield,” he wrote.\nA year with a bitcoin halving and global epidemic rolled into one, it’s truly one of a kind.\nRelated:Marine Corps Bans Crypto Mining Apps From Government-Issued Mobile Devices\nRead more:Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Sets New Record High 2 Months After Halving\nMany miners expected bitcoin’s price to rise sharply after the halving, said Kevin Pan, CEO and co-founder of the China-based PoolIn, one of the two biggest bitcoin mining pools in the world (along with F2Pool).\n“In reality, not only there was not much price momentum driven by halving, there came themega sell-off on March 12, which caused a large scale of forced liquidation and loss,” he said.\nFor two months after halving, bitcoin’s price largely remained static around $9,000. Although it jumped above $10,000 last week and is now changing hands over $11,000, it is still at a similar price level seen at this time last year.\nIn contrast, the network’s mining difficulty rose to an all-time-level within two months after halving. It’s now almost twice as difficult to mine bitcoin compared to last July, while block rewards have halved.\nWithout a significant price breakout, bitcoin miner’s daily revenue has dropped by 70% compared to last year, said Pan, although the recent bitcoin price jump has helped improving the situation.\nIndeed, Bitinfochart’s datashowsbitcoin’s daily mining revenue was around $0.33 per one terahashes second (TH/s) of computing power in July 2019. It has since then declined to now around $0.1 per TH/s.\nMeanwhile, asurgein interest and investment in bitcoin mining since last year have led to a surplus of newly constructed mining facilities in China.\nIn April, the oversupply issue had already shifted the hosting business from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, with mining farms generally offering a 20% electricity discount compared to last year.\nPan estimates that during this rainy season, 20% to 30% of mining facility capacity in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces still remains unused.\nRead more:China’s Rainy Season Is Coming. This Time Bitcoin Miners Aren’t Investing\nTo be clear, bitcoin miners and mining farms can still make a profit. But they have to endure a much longer period than expected to break even on their investments.\nA payback period of six months to a year used to be common for bitcoin miners in China, but if bitcoin maintains its current prices around $11,000, that could be extended to as long as two years.\n“In the eyes of many old Chinese miners, the electricity price right now is not only lower than the similar situation of the halving and hydro season in 2016, but also even lower than the electricity prices during the 2015 bear market,” said Heller of F2Pool.\nLower electricity may be appealing to miners, but it also means mining farm operators are facing an “unprecedented investment challenge” as the business shifted to a buyer’s market, Heller said.\nDespite this year’s tough market environment, some are still bullish over the long term and are rolling out products to attract investors. Jiang Zhuo’er, CEO and founder of mining pool BTC.Top who also runs his own mining farms, recently launched joint-mining contracts dubbed B.top.\nIt essentially sells mining equipment by TH/s and farm electricity at cost to retailers who want to participate in mining. The company will not charge customers hosting and management fees until the mining profits they receive break even on their investment.\nHashAge and Heng Jia, two long-running bitcoin mining farm operators with over a dozen facilities in Sichuan, also announced a partnership with Chinese crypto lending startup Babel last Friday.\nFlex Yang, CEO and co-founder of Babel, said the firm is allocating up to $50 million inUSDTas a loan for those who choose to host their miners at HashAge and Heng Jia’s facilities.\nIn contrast to previous crypto loans that require borrowers to pledge bitcoin as collateral, this new partnership accepts debtors’ miners hosted at HashAge and Heng Jia as collateral.\nThis effort is also one of the industry’s first in terms of treating specialized mining equipment, known as ASIC miners, as a tradable asset in crypto-based debt financing.\nLuxor, a U.S.-based mining pool, rolled out a bitcoinhashrate price indexearlier last month in an effort to provide better transparency into the traditionally opaque market of how much bitcoin mining equipment is changing hands.\nBut rain cuts both ways for the mining industry. Flooding in China is among the worst in decades, and hasaffectedover 50 million residents, with nearly four million people displaced and over 150 dead or missing.\nThe good news is it could have been much worse. Pan said the flood has so far mainly affected the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river.\nSince most mining farms in Sichuan and Yunnan are located along the upper reaches in the mountain area, which are some 1,200 km, or 800 miles, away from the middle reaches, there are fewer instances where facilities are directly flooded due to the rainfall.\nBut Pan said there have been more regular instances of mining farms’ hydropower plants temporarily cutting off electricity generation because the increasing water reserve levels would otherwise cause pressure on the dam.\nThe places that are suffering the most severe damage so far are provinces in Central China including Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and Anhui provinces, asillustratedin this multimedia article from the South China Morning Post.\nJohnson Xu, chief analyst at Beijing-based research startup TokenInsight, said mining farm operators nowadays are more experienced in choosing the right location for construction, after witnessing events in previous years where facilities were destroyed by floods and mudslides.\n“Chinese mining farms have already conducted thorough due diligence to pick the locations where potential flooding risk is minimal,” so the floods haven’t caused a major impact on the mining community, said Xu.\nRead more:Bitcoin Miners Halt Operations as Rainstorm Triggers Mudslides in China\nAnother reason why there are too many bitcoin mining farms is thepushby local governments in Sichuan for establishing the so-called “Demonstration Zone for Utilizing Excessive Hydropower Electricity” since late last year.\nMining farms and hydropower plants that choose to be based in these industrial parks can typically enjoy a stable operational environment with a steady and cheap power supply. In return, they give a portion of their profits to local governments as well as China’s State Grid, the state-owned utility monopoly.\nIn previous years, many mining farms in Sichuan and Yunnan have been using what’s called “direct-supply” electricity. That means power plants sell electricity directly to mining farm operators without having to share the profits with other parties.\nAs local governments have stepped up efforts to rectify the “direct-supply” model adopted by many power plants, this has created a sort of tug of war among local governments, hydropower plants as well as the State Grid, Pan said.\nSome bitcoin mining farm operators using “direct-supply” electricity wish to sell their facilities at a low valuation given tough market conditions. This tug-of-war will continue to be a risk factor for potential investors in those mining farms.\n“Overall, the latest regulatory policies in China tend to have a negative impact on those unregulated smaller mining farms, but positive towards firms who meet the local regulatory requirements,” Xu added.\n• The 2020 Rainy Season Is Tougher Than Ever for China’s Bitcoin Miners\n• The 2020 Rainy Season Is Tougher Than Ever for China’s Bitcoin Miners', 'The rain has come.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.38% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 1.52% gain from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,184.0. It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $11,396.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,474, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $11,003.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,961, Bitcoin briefly revisited $11,260 levels before falling back into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Tuesday. Tezos rallied by 6.32% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.95%), Bitcoin Cash SC (+5.76%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.42%), Ethereum (+0.92%), Stellar’s Lumen (+5.51%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.35%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-2.10%), EOS (-0.53%), Litecoin (-1.54%), Monero’s XMR (-2.32%), and Ripple’s XRP (-2.90%) saw red on the day. At the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $323.12bn to a Monday high $345.20bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $333.57bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell from a Monday high 62.43% to a Tuesday low 61.21%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.74%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.26% to $11,155.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,213.1 to a low $11.085.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.03%. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tezos (-2.93%), Stellar’s Lumen (-2.86%), and Ripple’s XRP (-2.64%) led the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $11,194 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,386. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,300 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $11,396 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,587. Expect plenty of resistance at $11,500, however. Failure to move through the $11,194 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $10,993 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,800 levels on the day. The second major support level at $10,801 should limit any downside.

The worlds largest cryptocurrency fell to as low as $8,900 on some exchanges before it established a level of support above $9,000. The dramatic 4.82% move to the downside comes after six weeks of stagnant price action beneath $10,000 despite two failed attempts at breaking above $10,500. The lack of recent volatility indicates that price is coiling up ahead of a major move in the coming weeks, although it seems more unlikely that it will break $10,500. Whats more likely is a further correction to the downside with $8,830 and $7,800 being two key levels of support to look out for. With the hype of optimism surrounding the recent halving now having subsided, Bitcoin needs a fundamental catalyst if it wants to drive towards a new all-time high in 2020. Whether it be increased retail adoption or institutional investment remains unclear, but what is clear is that buyers are showing signs of exhaustion in this current range. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading at $9,102, a break below $8,900 on significant volume would set up an initial move to $8,150 that could extend as far as $7,800 depending on the amount of liquidations on derivative exchanges.

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.

WEI means extraordinary and WEI Art Collections is again set to excite the creative industry with their latest multi-million-dollar contemporary private art collection to celebrate blockchain technology. The new series is an unprecedented fusion of crypto-currency and art.\nWEI Art Collections has carved a niche for creating the finest, most extraordinary abstract, contemporary, and crypto art. With a team of talented and well-respected artists from different parts of the world, representing numerous cultural, ethnic, and racially diverse creative talent, the platform has provided art collectors as well as corporate and technology leaders with an opportunity to acquire exclusive works of art from the WEI Art Collections series.\nThe WEI Art Collections Innovation Series are specifically put together for crypto-currency whales, art buyers, and advocates of the blockchain technology. The series also has its obvious appeal to professionals in the financial sector. The latest collection is coming at the most ideal time, with the world rapidly embracing the features and benefits of crypto-currency and blockchain technology.\nIn the fall of 2018, Adam Lindemann stated in an article in Bloomberg news by Katya Kazakina (https://bloom.bg/3eYwpla) on November 29 as follows: "Everyone is talking about blockchain, but no one really understands it." Adam is a billionaire and abstract contemporary art collector, amongst the world\'s leading art collectors. He noted, "This is the right time to think about art and tech."\nAs the mp3 file undeniably influenced and redefined how the world listens to music, blockchain technology is about to be applied in numerous industries. The use of crypto-currency has become increasingly popular in recent times, with experts predicting growth to the tune of tens of trillions of dollars in the near future. The International Monetary Fund has also substantiated the claim, commenting on the advantages, stability crypto-currency values will enjoy as world economies, and fiat currencies continue to falter. However, the creative industry has been seemingly silent on the subject of crypto-currency and this is where WEI Art Collections is looking to change the narrative with the WEI Art Collections Innovation Series.\nWEI Art Collections initially features the top three of the most prominent crypto-currencies destined for global dominance in the blockchain, global banking, and financial industries. There is also the Innovation Series 21 featuring 21 unique works, developed exclusively featuring Bitcoin. The series is developed in commemoration of Bitcoins issuance of 21 million coins. WEI Art Collections exemplifies the pinnacle of the crypto-art medium, engaging and employing emerging artists directly.\nThe mission of WEI Art Collections is to be amongst the premier contemporary abstract and cryptography art designers/producers/collectors, featu Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9758.85, 9771.49, 9795.70, 9870.09, 9321.78, 9480.84, 9475.28, 9386.79, 9450.70, 9538.02, 9480.25, 9411.84, 9288.02, 9332.34, 9303.63, 9648.72, 9629.66, 9313.61, 9264.81, 9162.92, 9045.39, 9143.58, 9190.85, 9137.99, 9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Related:The COVID-19 E-Commerce Boom Hasn't Trickled Down to Bitcoin, Despite Advantages “They can attack very quickly,” Dolev said of CryptoCore, which he claimed once deployed an attack just 12 hours after registering fresh domain names. “They’re not a big group, maybe three to four people … a small but effective operation.” So far, ClearSky estimates the cyber criminal group stole $200 million over the past two years. Other firms have called the same group different names, such as “Leery Turtle.” Or Blatt, ClearSky’s threat intelligence team leader, said he believes the alleged thieves are rogues without military training or support. He described the attacks as “much less sophisticated” than ones conducted by Russian military intelligence officers indicted for influencingAmerican electionswhile usingbitcoinin 2016. “They are cyber criminals and we know of other similar cybercrime groups,” Blatt said. “In order for such an attack to succeed, usually the [crypto exchange] employees need to be vulnerable to social engineering … [We] didn’t see this attacker exploiting VPN [virtual private networks], for example, which is something we often see with other groups.” Related:Market Wrap: A Sea of Red Across Markets as Bitcoin Drops to $9.2K Dolev said crypto exchanges that don’t use the same level of security practices as banks are vulnerable to such attacks. The report details how the hacker group allegedly gained access to several exchange executives’ private email accounts, then used spear-phishing – impersonating a high-ranking employee – “either from the target company itself or from a company that deals with the target,” to acquire information that grants access to crypto wallets. Nicholas Percoco, head of security at the crypto exchange Kraken, said, “We routinely see attempts through multiple attack vectors, including social engineering attempts,” so his company often shares information with other exchanges targeted by such criminal campaigns. Ignoring CryptoCore specifically (Kraken was not mentioned in ClearSky’s report), Percoco said it is common for such cyber criminals to target several institutions in the same sector, especially the individuals who work at exchanges. The concept of such a social engineering campaign, as ClearSky described, makes sense to Percoco. This is why Kraken’s security chief said, in addition to technical controls, he focuses on training sessions across the staff because you “can’t patch a human.” Plus,Kraken Security Labsroutinely tries to penetrate the exchange system and find vulnerabilities, he said. “We will take all our employees, executives included, through extensive security training,” Percoco said. “We go very deep about home network security, social network security, even their own personal device security.” Dolev warned that, especially considering the mass exodus to remote work caused by COVID-19, crypto exchanges face a “higher risk” in 2020. Indeed, Blatt added that CryptoCore appears to be more active since the coronavirus crisis began. “If you put your money on an exchange, you don’t know if it’s secure or not,” Dovel concluded. • Security Firm Claims One Group Stole $200M in Numerous Exchange Hacks • Security Firm Claims One Group Stole $200M in Numerous Exchange Hacks... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Dezhitse', "Why Osana takes so long? (Programmer's point of view on current situation)", 271, '2020-08-06 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Osana/comments/i4fazm/why_osana_takes_so_long_programmers_point_of_view/', "I decided to write a comment about «Why Osana takes so long?» somewhere and what can be done to shorten this time. It turned into a long essay. Here's TL;DR of it:\n\n>The cost of never paying down this technical debt is clear; eventually the cost to deliver functionality will become so slow that it is easy for a well-designed competitive software product to overtake the badly-designed software in terms of features. In my experience, badly designed software can also lead to a more stressed engineering workforce, in turn leading higher staff churn (which in turn affects costs and productivity when delivering features). Additionally, due to the complexity in a given codebase, the ability to accurately estimate work will also disappear. \n> \n>Junade Ali, Mastering PHP Design Patterns (2016)\n\nLonger version: I am not sure if people here wanted an explanation from a real developer who works with C and with relatively large projects, but I am going to do it nonetheless. I am not much interested in Yandere Simulator nor in this genre in general, but this particular development has a lot to learn from for any fellow programmers and software engineers to ensure that they'll never end up in Alex's situation, especially considering that he is definitely not the first one to got himself knee-deep in the development hell (do you remember [Star Citizen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Citizen)?) and he is definitely not the last one.\n\nOn the one hand, people see that Alex works incredibly slowly, equivalent of, like, one hour per day, comparing it with, say, Papers, Please, the game that was developed in nine months from start to finish by one guy. On the other hand, Alex himself most likely thinks that he works until complete exhaustion each day. In fact, I highly suspect that both those sentences are correct! Because of the mistakes made during early development stages, which are highly unlikely to be fixed due to the pressure put on the developer right now and due to his overall approach to coding, cost to add any relatively large feature (e.g. Osana) can be pretty much comparable to the cost of creating a fan game from start to finish. Trust me, I've seen his leaked source code ~~(don't tell anybody about that)~~ and I know what I am talking about. The largest problem in Yandere Simulator right now is its super slow development. So, without further ado, let's talk about how «implementing the low hanging fruit» crippled the development and, more importantly, what would have been an ideal course of action from my point of view to get out. I'll try to explain things in the easiest terms possible.\n\n1. [else if's](https://i.ibb.co/GQrZ6rM/2h7wdn8p70e51.png) and lack any sort of refactoring in general\n\nThe most «memey» one. I won't talk about the performance though (`switch` statement is not better in terms of performance, it is a myth. If compiler detects some code that can be turned into a jump table, for example, it will do it, no matter if it is a chain of `if`'s or a `switch` statement. Compilers nowadays are way smarter than one might think). Just take a look [here](https://i.ibb.co/pnsw63m/elseif-before-refactoring.png). I know that it's his older JavaScript code, but, believe it or not, this piece is still present in C# version relatively untouched.\n\nI [refactored this code for you](https://i.ibb.co/r7txC00/ref1.png) using C language (mixed with C++ since there's no `this` pointer in pure C). Take a note that `else if`'s are still there, `else if`'s are not the problem by itself.\n\nThe refactored code is just objectively better for one simple reason: it is shorter, while not being obscure, and now it should be able to handle, say, Trespassing and Blood case without any input from the developer due to the usage of [flags](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_field). Basically, the shorter your code, the more you can see on screen without spreading your attention too much. As a rule of thumb, the less lines there are, the easier it is for you to work with the code. Just don't overkill that, unless you are going to participate in [International Obfuscated C Code Contest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Obfuscated_C_Code_Contest). Let me reiterate:\n\n>Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. \n> \n>Antoine de Saint-Exupéry\n\nThis is why refactoring — activity of rewriting your old code so it does the same thing, but does it quicker, in a more generic way, in less lines or simpler — is so powerful. In my experience, you can only keep one module/class/whatever in your brain if it does not exceed \\~1000 lines, maybe \\~1500. Splitting 17000-line-long class into smaller classes probably won't improve performance at all, but it will make working with parts of this class way easier.\n\nIs it too late now to start refactoring? Of course NO: better late than never.\n\n2. [Comments](https://i.ibb.co/d0KrNr0/clown.jpg)\n\nIf you think that you wrote this code, so you'll always easily remember it, I have some bad news for you: you won't. In my experience, one week and that's it. That's why comments are so crucial. It is not necessary to put a ton of comments everywhere, but just a general idea will help you out in the future. Even if you think that It Just Works™ and you'll never ever need to fix it. Time spent to write and debug one line of code almost always exceeds time to write one comment in large-scale projects. Moreover, the best code is the code that is self-evident. In the example above, what the hell does `(float) 6` mean? Why not wrap it around into the constant with a good, self-descriptive name? Again, it won't affect performance, since C# compiler is smart enough to silently remove this constant from the real code and place its value into the method invocation directly. Such constants are here for you.\n\nI [rewrote my code above a little bit to illustrate this](https://i.ibb.co/L5XzCXq/ref2.png). With those comments, you don't have to remember your code at all, since its functionality is outlined in two tiny lines of comments above it. Moreover, even a person with zero knowledge in programming will figure out the purpose of this code. It took me less than half a minute to write those comments, but it'll probably save me quite a lot of time of figuring out «what was I thinking back then» one day.\n\nIs it too late now to start adding comments? Again, of course NO. Don't be lazy and redirect all your typing from «debunk» page (which pretty much does the opposite of debunking, but who am I to judge you here?) into some useful comments.\n\n3. Unit testing\n\nThis is often neglected, but consider the following. You wrote some code, you ran your game, you saw a new bug. Was it introduced right now? Is it a problem in your older code which has shown up just because you have never actually used it until now? Where should you search for it? You have no idea, and you have one painful debugging session ahead. Just imagine how easier it would be if you've had some routines which automatically execute after each build and check that environment is still sane and nothing broke on a fundamental level. This is called unit testing, and yes, unit tests won't be able to catch all your bugs, but even getting 20% of bugs identified at the earlier stage is a huge boon to development speed.\n\nIs it too late now to start adding unit tests? Kinda YES and NO at the same time. Unit testing works best if it covers the majority of project's code. On the other side, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you decide to start refactoring your code, writing a unit test before refactoring will help you to prove to yourself that you have not broken anything without the need of running the game at all.\n\n4. [Static code analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_program_analysis)\n\nThis is basically pretty self-explanatory. You set this thing once, you forget about it. Static code analyzer is another «free estate» to speed up the development process by finding tiny little errors, mostly silly typos (do you think that you are good enough in finding them? Well, good luck catching `x << 4;` in place of `x <<= 4;` buried deep in C code by eye!). Again, this is not a silver bullet, it is another tool which will help you out with debugging a little bit along with the debugger, unit tests and other things. You need every little bit of help here.\n\nIs it too late now to hook up static code analyzer? Obviously NO.\n\n5. Code architecture\n\nSay, you want to build Osana, but then you decided to implement some feature, e.g. Snap Mode. By doing this you have maybe made your game a little bit better, but what you have just essentially done is complicated your life, because now you should also write Osana code for Snap Mode. The way game architecture is done right now, easter eggs code is deeply interleaved with game logic, which leads to code «spaghettifying», which in turn slows down the addition of new features, because one has to consider how this feature would work alongside each and every old feature and easter egg. Even if it is just gazing over one line per easter egg, it adds up to the mess, slowly but surely.\n\nA lot of people mention that developer should have been doing it in object-oritented way. However, there is no silver bullet in programming. It does not matter that much if you are doing it object-oriented way or usual procedural way; you can theoretically write, say, AI routines on functional (e.g. [LISP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language))) or even logical language if you are brave enough (e.g. [Prolog](ht...

After he sued Lovecruft for defamation, two anonymous women detailed accounts of sexual assault by Todd in court filings. On July 15, 2019, Lovecruft filed an anti-SLAPP motion, asking the court to dismiss Todd’s lawsuit as an attempt to curtail free speech. On Tuesday, without deleting the original tweet, Lovecruft also tweeted , “Peter Todd never raped or sexually assaulted me.” Lovecruft’s GoFundMe page says this tweet was required as part of the settlement. Todd cited hefty legal fees as his primary reason for settling the case, which he initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland, in April 2019 . “I settled because I ran out of money. I’d rather have kept the case. But the really important thing was to turn vague allegations – which were surprisingly harmful – into something I could actually respond to,” Todd told CoinDesk. “Isis has been making vague claims.” Lovecruft used GoFundMe to crowdsource roughly $35,800 for legal fees. They also accepted cryptocurrency donations, including bitcoin , monero and several others. Lovecruft’s crowdfunding page offers an ambiguous statement: “The basic terms of the settlement are: Todd agreed to dismiss his lawsuit against Lovecruft, and walk away without any financial recovery, in exchange for a statement by Lovecruft clarifying that they do not assert (as they have never asserted) that Todd raped or sexually assaulted them personally.” This would relate to the claim of arm-grabbing, not the sexual assault allegations by the two anonymous accusers, both identified in court papers as “Jane Doe.” In a statement to CoinDesk, Todd said Lovecruft and one male witness had a conflict of interest because both were involved in the Zcash project, which Todd often criticizes. Story continues Related: Ex-Bitcoin Dev Settles Defamation Suit Over Sex Assault Claims The two Jane Does made filings in the case in support of Lovecruft. One claimed she was assaulted by Todd, the other alleged he raped her. Todd denied both charges and contended that neither woman was “involved in any Bitcoin projects,” which he argued undermined the credibility of their accounts. Both Jane Does, in interviews with CoinDesk , said they used to participate in the broader Bitcoin community but stopped after the alleged incidents. In previous communications with CoinDesk, both alleged victims indicated they wanted to move on with their lives and did not seek to press charges or otherwise publicly discuss the accusations. This legal conflict was entirely between Lovecruft and Todd , the latter of whom claimed the settlement represents a victory . Yet Lovecruft hasn’t deleted the original tweet, which sparked the lawsuit, and did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

However, integrated doesn’t have to mean centralized. Indeed, the centralized nature of many track-and-trace apps has been their doom , rendering them mostly non-functional due their incompatibility with Google and Apple’s latest privacy-respecting features. See also: For Contact Tracing to Work, Americans Will Have to Trust Google and Apple A recent survey done by my colleagues at Humanity+, a nonprofit that advocates for ethical use of technology, showed that, of the attendees at their online event, 61% were not comfortable with governments collecting their physiological and medical data, even in a pandemic context. But 92% would rather their medical data be stored on a blockchain, than centralized government databases. We should have a global, decentralized system for collecting medical, movement, interaction and lifestyle data from everyone on the planet – and methods to analyze it in a secure, anonymous way. Statistical and AI analysis should be guided democratically by everyone contributing data. While policy could be set by sophisticated agent-based modeling leveraging this data, without sacrificing privacy. Related: The Fourth Era of Blockchain Governance We are not so far off from realizing such a system. A number of relevant tools were created by the 1,000+ developers participating in the COVIDathon decentralized-AI hackathon against COVID this spring. Part of my AI team at SingularityNET set aside their work temporarily to focus on building the Rejuve COVID App that identifies infections early based on data from smartphone peripherals like fitbits and digital thermometers as well as relevant policy decisions like the opening/closing of schools and restaurants. Story continues It’s clear that the centralized systems currently running the planet are not to be trusted to coordinate the next growth phase of humanity However valuable these efforts are, the decentralized software ecosystem is not at the point where it can be used as the default for carrying out all aspects of pandemic management. COVID-19 will be beaten relatively soon, and my hope is that decentralized tools will play a role in the solution, even if not a dominant one.\xa0This is unlikely to be the last nor worst pandemic, nor the last nor worst crisis, to hit humanity.\xa0I’m hopeful the decentralized tools being built today will be pivotal in whatever comes next.

The nations top commodities regulator, who recently marked his first anniversary at the CFTC, detailed his approach to cryptocurrency in a wide-ranging interview with CoinDesk. Tarbert noted that many of cryptos unique attributes namely borderlessness and decentralization require a thoughtful approach. Our entire financial and economic system outside the current system, the non-crypto system basically evolved since, one could argue, the Renaissance in Italy, he said. Whereas what people are doing in the digital asset space is effectively building within a decade or less an entire economic system based on human incentives and trust I just find that fascinating. Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin's Price and Ether's Dominance Sit at 2020 Highs Tarbert specified that he is interested in the way developers are incorporating hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge about human behavior and economic incentives as well as cryptographic methods originally used in national security applications to build these digital commerce systems.

Building out Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Blasts Past $10,000; Ethereum Fees Up 550% in 2020 Tarbert took office on July 15, 2019, coming to the regulatory agency from the U.S. Treasury Department, where he served as Assistant Secretary for International Markets. He said that while he was familiar with bitcoin and digital assets prior to joining the agency, I quickly found out that this is such a rapidly changing environment that I needed to really bone up on. Story continues While many aspects of the crypto and fintech spaces arent currently under the CFTCs jurisdiction, some new products might someday fall into the derivatives space. So Tarbert needs to learn about much more than just bitcoin. My view is that to be a successful CFTC chairman, meaning regulating the derivatives market, you have to have [a] keen understanding of the underlying market, he said. And so Ive tried to learn as much as I can about the various agricultural sectors. Ive gone out into fields and gone to grain elevators, Ive gone to a feedlot to learn about cattle and wheat. Im learning about oil but Im also learning a lot about crypto and in many ways, because its so revolutionary and so cutting edge, Im spending a lot of time just learning how it all works in the ecosystem. Read more: CFTC Approves Bitnomial to Offer Futures Contracts Settled in Real Bitcoin Tarberts efforts are paying off. Tarbert pointed to the elevation of LabCFTC , the agencys fintech wing, noting it had grown from being a small group within the CFTCs general counsels office to becoming its own division. In the months since, the CFTC has declared ether a commodity , allowed the first ether-based futures products to enter the market and approved actual delivery guidance that explains to exchanges when the CFTC has jurisdiction and brought numerous enforcement actions, Tarbert said. The next challenge is building out a holistic regulatory framework for crypto and its derivatives markets in the coming years. I suspect some of it will be principles-based and some of it will be more specific rules the right blend of each to allow for innovation and also flexibility both for market participants but also for ourselves because we dont want a regulatory framework to be obsolete six months after its introduced, but at the same time, there may be customer protection and maybe some other issues that are so important that we want to provide very clear standards and rules to provide clarity, he said. Novel questions Tarbert said the planned framework, announced earlier this month , wont be a prescriptive one, but a holistic approach that looks at how the agency regulates derivatives markets. This will require the CFTC to evaluate how it looks at exchanges, clearinghouses and other market intermediaries, and how its core principles apply or should apply to the space. We have some things listed on exchanges, but most of those, theyre either cash-settled products or they are fully collateralized, he said. So we actually havent gotten into a system where we actually have physically delivered digital asset products that have the kind of margining and practices associated with them as we do other futures contracts and even swaps. The CFTC doesnt want to over- or under-regulate the space, he said. We have rules regarding custody of assets, so how do we handle custody and settlement? Tarbert said. We know how to do it with traditional physical assets and with cash but how do we do that with digital assets? Capital requirements, segregating customer assets with broker assets, market intermediary reporting and bankruptcy are other issues that need to be addressed within this framework, he said. Pricing risk for crypto asset derivatives sold on margin is another area the CFTC is examining. Read more: What the CFTC Chairman Actually Said About Ether Futures and Ethereum 2.0 What about if theres a failure? he asked. Non-default loss at the clearinghouse, meaning the clearinghouse loses money not because one of the members fails but, rather, it loses custody of these assets or it loses the keys or something, and then what role should insurance play? This extends to infrastructure and physical hardware questions, and whether the CFTC should replicate its current regulations for the digital asset market or try to fit digital assets into an already existing framework. These issues illustrate the need for a flexible framework, Tarbert said, one which takes into account these major questions but can still be applied flexibly as different aspects of the crypto space evolve. As an added wrinkle, the CFTC wont know for sure if its framework is effective until its implemented. Youre dealing with a counterfactual, so you cant say, well, how would things have evolved if we didnt have this framework in place? The answer is, its a really important process but it needs to happen, he said. The G20s Financial Stability Board underwent a similar process and the U.S. Treasury Department had to create rules around capital controls after the 2008 financial crisis as well, so Tarberts not a stranger to this type of challenge. Its a very difficult question, but I think we owe it both to ourselves as well as market participants that after a reasonable period of, lets say five years, we take a look back and say, what are we doing right, what did we do wrong and what changes need to be made, he said. Its easier said than done, but it does need to be done. Borderless The CFTC also has to contend with the fact that crypto is inherently borderless. Market participants and developers all hail from different jurisdictions, and many live outside the U.S. The U.S. should harmonize its approach to crypto both across the 50 states and additional territories, as well as with how other nations are approaching it, Tarbert said, likening the new asset class to other commodities under its jurisdiction. Commodities are commodities all around the world, right? Wheat is wheat and so the commodity prices and the derivatives prices based on those commodities around the world are all interconnected, he said. Well now we take digital assets, crypto assets and there they are uniform. And people are not thinking about regulatory and national boundaries, by definition, this stuff is outside of it. Read more: CFTC Seeks Industry Advice on Blockchain Applications The CFTC joined the Global Financial Innovation Network as one step in this process, collaborating with regulators worldwide to share ideas about financial innovation. The agency is also part of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), where Tarbert is the current vice-chairman. Other international efforts include the Financial Stability Board, which has a working group on stablecoins (cryptocurrencies which maintain price parity with a fiat currency or asset like the U.S. dollar) and the Financial Action Task Force, which published guidance on crypto exchanges last year. In his view, future international standards around crypto will be as important to this community as the Basel Accords developed across the past 30 years are to the banking sector today. Thats not to say there shouldnt be a national regulatory regime, Tarbet said. But I think theres a real acknowledgement from national regulators that there needs to be enhanced international cooperation and thinking, and to some extent if at all possible, some degree of convergence, he said.

Avoiding sub-$11,600 levels, Bitcoin moved back through to $11,700 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day for the majors on Saturday. Cardano’s ADA and Tezos led the way, with gains of 5.74% and 9.84% respectively. Binance Coin (+2.64%), Ethereum (+4.67%), Litecoin (+2.15%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.19%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.61%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.25%), EOS (+1.89%), Monero’s XMR (+1.08%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.40%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.97%) trailed the pack. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $322.88bn to a Thursday high $355.09bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $349.48bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Tuesday low 61.24% before rising to a Friday high 63.16%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.15%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.08% to $11,755. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $11,777.1 before falling to a low $11,746.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Cardano’s ADA and Tezos led the way down, with losses of 1.23% and 1.38% respectively. Story continues Binance Coin (-0.75%), EOS (-0.11%), Litecoin (-0.21%), Monero’s XMR and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.44%) also saw red. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.80%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.80%), Ethereum (+0.06%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.09%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.47%) found early support. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,694 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,866. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $11,796. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,967. A fall through the $11,694 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,593 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$11,400 support levels. The second major support level at $11,421 should limit the downside.

Who controls Bitcoin? A hint: It\x92s not you. And it\x92s a far cry from the decentralized utopia many claim it to be. Systems of power are rapidly asserting control over Bitcoin. And their incentives are not your incentives. As an industry, we\x92re at a critical juncture, and we have to choose. We either demand that the properties of user ownership and censorship resistance pioneered by Bitcoin persist. Or, we accept the facade of false-decentralization that has been erected by a centralized regime. Our revolution is being stolen, but it\x92s not too late to take it back. Related: Blockchain Bites: Inside Cosmos, Bitcoin at $200B, DeFi Surges First, let\x92s take a look at who controls the Bitcoin blockchain. Sixty-five percent of its hashrate is in one country: China. Globally, about 10 different organizations control 90% of the hashpower. The big pools are all linked together with dedicated networking connections. If I described to you a council of 10 companies dictating the future of a product, and more than half are in China and beholden to a centralized government, would you call that decentralized? No, but that\x92s the state of Bitcoin today. See also: Justin S. Wales \x96 Why Bitcoin Is Protected by the First Amendment Maybe you don\x92t care.

There are countless examples in history of misplaced trust in a centralized authority. Some of those authorities were beloved revolutionaries, leaders, countrymen and members of their community. Everyone thought, \x93They love their country, they won\x92t do anything to cause it harm.\x94 Story continues Robert Mugabe, the former dictator of Zimbabwe for 30 years, started his career as a beloved political revolutionary. He was instrumental in gaining independence from colonial rule. At the time, it would have been hard to think of someone who loved his country more. But that was at the beginning, before he amassed centralized authority. He ended his career causing mass starvation and social upheaval because of brutal, misinformed and, ultimately, failed social and monetary policies.

Without checks against centralized power, what remains is to trust it will all be ok. And it never is. So, why would this time be any different? Because Bitcoin is somehow inherently different? Because the person, or people, who created it had revolutionary ideas? Come on.

Related: In the Aftermath of Hack, Lawmakers Blame Twitter, Not Bitcoin On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency slid 0.5% to about $9,200, even as reports emerged that a bitcoin “giveaway” scam was at the heart of a coordinated hack targeting accounts of prominent Twitter users , including former U.S. President Barack Obama and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. “Even if there is a small percentage of bitcoin that is used for illicit activity, investors now understand this is no different than cash, except that digital currencies are much more traceable,” Joe DiPasquale, CEO of BitBull Capital, told First Mover in an email. Bitcoin was designed by Satoshi Nakamoto as a peer-to-peer payment method, a version of electronic cash that would “allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another,” according to the white paper . But a new report suggests bitcoin’s original core payments function might be increasingly fulfilled by a competing faction of digital tokens – so-called stablecoins like tether and USD coin , which have values linked to the price of the U.S. dollar. Related: Market Wrap: What Twitter Hack? Traders Stay Busy Buying Bitcoin at $9,000 Story continues Stablecoins, invented five years ago, have expanded rapidly this year, doubling in the past four months to an outstanding supply of about $12 billion. Cryptocurrency traders use them as the de facto form of liquidity in digital-asset markets, to move money between exchanges and park cash on the sidelines. Investors can lend out the dollar-linked tokens for yields up to 13% , more than 20 times the level on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes. Some holders might simply want U.S. dollars as a safe haven as the coronavirus roils the global economy. Recently, though, more people might be using stablecoins to send each other payments, according to a report this week published jointly by cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp and research firm Coin Metrics. The analysts noted that the daily transfer value of stablecoins recently surged past $2 billion, while bitcoin’s slid to just below $2 billion. Global remittances and cross-border payments are a “natural use case for stablecoins given their ease of international transfer,” they wrote. “It feels like a little bit of a paradigm shift, especially now that stablecoins are exploding,” Nate Maddrey, a senior research analyst at Coin Metrics, said in a phone interview. The sudden popularity of stablecoins could raise knotty questions over the utility of bitcoin , which is the oldest cryptocurrency, at 11 years, and the biggest by far, at a market capitalization of $170 billion. Maddrey believes bitcoin’s value proposition has changed over the years: Many investors are buying it because they see the cryptocurrency as a store of value, similar to gold, and as the linchpin of the world’s most secure blockchain network. Because of its capped supply, bitcoin is often posited as a hedge against inflation and central-bank money printing. “I don’t really see a path where bitcoin becomes a true medium of exchange,” Maddrey said. The rise of stablecoins marks a new chapter in fast-moving and ever-evolving cryptocurrency markets. A thousand flowers are blooming as entrepreneurs unveil semi-autonomous “ decentralized finance ” projects, financial firms prepare to tokenize traditional assets like U.S. Treasury bonds and foreign-exchange contracts , and Facebook pushes forward with its own digital token, Libra . PayPal, the payments company, has told the European Commission it’s developing cryptocurrency capabilities. Countries around the world are developing their own tokens, known as central bank digital currencies, or CDBCs, which could eventually provide another option for peer-to-peer payments. Just this week, reports have emerged that both Japan and the U.K. are considering digital versions of their currencies. While the Federal Reserve has yet to unveil its own version, some countries with exchange rates pegged or closely linked to the dollar might be able to create CBDCs that work like proxies for the U.S. tender. That might curb the appetite for stablecoins, many of them issued by upstart companies with scant corporate transparency and untested creditworthiness. “Would you rather I sent you a stablecoin or a CBDC backed by a sovereign nation whose currency is pegged to the dollar?” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the digital-asset firm Diginex , said in a video interview. “I’d rather receive a sovereign-backed CBDC.” Blockforce Capital , a cryptocurrency investment firm based in San Diego, wrote Wednesday in a monthly investor update that, at least for now, there’s good money to be made from lending out or depositing stablecoins. “Stablecoins are proving their utility in the digital-asset ecosystem,” according to the email. “Our traditional finance friends are often shocked to hear that as interest rates sink lower and even negative in some cases, we manage to earn close to 8% as we lend out stablecoins to high-quality counterparties.” On the other hand, holding stablecoins is essentially the reverse of betting on assets that are denominated in dollars, from stocks to bonds to oil and bitcoin. The Federal Reserve this year has pumped nearly $3 trillion of freshly created dollars into financial markets, propping up asset prices. “Holding dollars is no fun when assets are mooning,” Mati Greenspan, founder of the analysis firm Quantum Economics, wrote in an email. But, hey, maybe some people might just want to send stablecoins to a pal. Tweet of the day Bitcoin watch BTC : Price: $9,085 ( BPI ) \| 24-Hr High: $9,253 \| 24-Hr Low: $9,048 Trend : Bitcoin is edging lower on Thursday, with the four-hour chart indicating a failed breakout and fresh bearish lower-highs setup. The number one cryptocurrency by market value is currently trading near $9,080, representing a 1.3% decline on the day. A falling channel represented by trendlines connecting June 1 and 22 highs and June 2 and 15 lows was breached to the higher side on July 8. As such, the cryptocurrency was expected to chart a minor rally toward resistance at $9,800 (June 22 high). Instead, the cryptocurrency has ended up charting fresh bearish lower highs, as represented by the trendline connecting July 8 and 13 highs (yellow line). In addition, prices fell back inside the bearish channel early on Thursday – a sign of failed breakout. Chart analysts consider failed breakouts as strong bearish signals. Indicators, too, are beginning to realign in favor of the bears. The MACD histogram, an indicator used to identify trend strength and trend changes, is producing deeper bars below the zero line. It indicates the downward move may gather pace. Meanwhile, on the daily chart, the histogram has crossed into bearish territory below zero. Bitcoin may dive below $9,000 and test support at $8,830 (June 28 high). On the higher side, a high-volume move above $9,350 is needed to revive the case for a rally to $9,800.

I chose bitcoin because it is the most established cryptocurrency and with the higher chance of becoming a full fledge currency worldwide, being used by everyone (at least that’s what I think at the moment, I might be wrong here)\nI know that the practical limit for bitcoin is 21 million bitcoins and each bitcoin can be divided into 100 million satoshi.\nMy question is, assuming bitcoin takes over as a single global currency and everyone is using it, isn’t the total amount of satoshi too little? I mean, if you split the total amount of bitcoin by everyone in the world, each person receives a relative small amount of bitcoin (I did a rough estimate, and from my estimates, each person would have the equivalent of 30€ in bitcoin)\n\nThanks in advance for dedicating the time to this weird question :)\n\nEDIT: \n\nThank you all for the answers.\nLike it has been said I agree that the main obstacle for bitcoin to become the one currency on a global scale is politics because no one, in this case governments would like to loose control of their money.\n\nWith the increase in market cap and the subdivision of satoshi’s (part that I was unaware of), bitcoin could be used as the global currency because, at the same time, bitcoin would have enough “value” to represent the global economy and would be divisible enough to a reasonable value for cheap stuff like a bottle of water.\n\nThe main technical issue that I see at the moment is the difference to fiat in how bitcoin is stored (hardware wallets) and transferred between two entities (addresses and private keys). For me it is something that I am starting to understand but I think it would be close to impossible for the majority of people that are older / not so tech oriented. I haven’t yet bought bitcoin, just got a bit of exposure to it using Revolut and decided to explore it on a deeper level.\n\nOne other thing that was referred was that subdividing satoshi’s is similar to “printing” money and would lead to inflation. I understand why this is being said, because creating money or dividing the current supply into smaller amounts can be seen as having the same overall effect. I think that the key difference in the division of satoshi’s is that it is not controlled by a central authority. For example if a new base unit that corresponded to 1/100 of a satoshi was created, everyone would be affected equally. When money is being printed by a central bank or government, they are increasing their wealth by making everyone else poorer, since they are increasing the percentage of money they have (note that I am not an economist and this explanation probably is flawed).', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/i68cco/bitcoin_endgame/', 'i68cco', [['u/bitusher', 16, '2020-08-09 00:43', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/i68cco/bitcoin_endgame/g0u1t9l/', '>and each bitcoin can be divided into 100 million satoshi.\n\nEach satoshi can be divided into 1000 parts as well on the Bitcoin lightning network today.

Today's Key News: ['Earlier in the Day: It\x92s was a relatively busy start to the day on the economic calendar this morning. The Kiwi Dollar and economic data from China were in focus in the early part of the day. Away from the economic calendar, updates on the U.S stimulus package continued to be an area of focus as the markets also responded to Friday\x92s U.S non-farm payroll numbers. On the geopolitical risk front, rising tension between the U.S and China was also of influence. For the Kiwi Dollar The ANZ Business Confidence Index fell from -34.4 to 42.4 in July. According to the latest ANZ Report , A net 17% of firms expect weaker economic activity in their own business, falling from -8.9% in July. Export intensions fell from -12.7% to -18.50%, with investment intentions falling from -6.7% to -15.1%. Profit expectations weakened from-26.6% to -32.2%, with employment intentions declining from -15.1% to -21.4%. The Kiwi Dollar moved from $0 66029 to $0.66012 upon release of the figures. At the time of writing, the Kiwi Dollar was up by 0.02% to $0.6606. Out of China China\x92s annual rate of inflation picked up from 2.5% to 2.7% in July, coming in ahead of a 2.6% forecast. Month-on-month, consumer prices rose by 0.6%, following a 0.1% decline in June. Economists had forecast a 0.4% rise. Year-on-year, the producer price index fell by 2.4%, following a 3% decline in June. Economists had forecast a 2.5% slide. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.71620 to $0.71673 upon release of the figures. At the time of writing, the Aussie Dollar was up by 0.15% to $0.7168. Elsewhere At the time of writing, the Japanese Yen was up by 0.13% to ¥105.78 against the U.S Dollar. The Day Ahead: For the EUR It\x92s a quiet day ahead on the economic calendar . There are no material stats to provide the EUR with direction. A lack of stats will leave the EUR in the hands of market risk sentiment on the day. The U.S stimulus package and tensions between the U.S and China will remain key drivers. Story continues At the time of writing, the EUR was up by 0.07% to $1.1795. For the Pound It\x92s also a quiet day ahead on the economic calendar , with no material stats due out to provide direction. Updates on Brexit and market risk sentiment will be the key drivers for the Pound. At the time of writing, the Pound was up by 0.16% to $1.3073.

So much so, thataccording to MarketingDive, global ad spending was expected to grow at 5%, reaching $600 billion by the end of 2019, nearly half of which was to come from digital ads. Apart from the direct use of technology, the boom in social media has significantly contributed to this growth. After all, advertisement is all about getting a brand in front of people: the more targeted, the better. With an expected3.43 billion global user base by 2023, social media platforms are some of the best resources to do so. But despite rapid growth and rising importance, there are dark sides to traditional models of advertising. The Pitfalls of Traditional Advertising According to Juniper Research, by 2020 marketers around the world could be losing around $44 billion to ad frauds — by far, the biggest problem with traditional advertising. This is largely due to the fact that the industry is highly centralized and opaque. Advertising agencies often act as intermediaries between advertisers and their audiences. Often, advertisers have to pay a hefty initial fee and a monthly subscription for running their advertisements. The advertiser has very little to no control over where their ads are placed or who clicks on them. Consequently, they bear the cost of the agency’s ineffective placement, while the overall advertising cost also ends up being significantly high. While social media is a major space for running ad campaigns, traditional methods do not encourage the platforms’ users to participate. The end-users of social media are seen merely as consumers and not contributors. To a great extent, this limits the scope of ad campaigns on platforms that mostly run on user-generated content. The Promise of Decentralized Advertising Most of the shortcomings of traditional advertising are due to the industry’s centralized nature. In this context, Distributed Ledger Technology, especiallyblockchain, enables a more user-centric approach to advertising. In blockchain advertising, advertisers can directly interact with end-users who, in turn, can contribute and monetize content and efforts towards an ad campaign. Before trying to understand this better with an example, let’s briefly outline the main benefits of using blockchain for advertising. First, the elimination of intermediaries results in reduced costs. Usually, a major share of ad spending pays for the fee and other charges of the intermediaries. By using blockchain, advertisers don’t need to rank high on Google, alleviating the vicious cycle of having to consistently invest time and money into ranking high on Google search. In turn, this also significantly widens the scope as advertisers are no more dependent solely on certain agencies or oligarchies. Second, with blockchain’s inherent transparency and security features (such as smart contracts), it’s possible to reinstate the consumer’s trust in advertising. Most importantly, this makes ad fraud virtually impossible, while making the industry more accountable as a whole. Third, in blockchain advertising, consumers have complete control over the data that they share with advertisers. Further, blockchain technology ensures that advertisers cannot use this data in any other way than what has been previously agreed upon. A Perfect Blockchain Advertising Case Study: The SaTT Platform TheSaTTsolution was developed byAtayen, Incand is an Ethereum-based platform that uses smart contracts and an ERC20 token to facilitate advertisements transactions. Apart from safe, instant, and automated transactions, the decentralized platform employs robust applications to transparently quantify campaign results. Using this incentivized platform, advertisers can launch campaigns in which other users can participate by sharing related content on their social networks. In return, they are rewarded with pre-determined SaTT tokens, which are based on several KPIs such as views, likes, and shares. All users on the application are eligible to apply to promote a product or service they like and get rewarded in SaTT tokens and play the role of an influencer. As companies are very attentive to their most engaged followers on social networks, SaTT is positioning itself as a revolutionary solution to reward them and considerably increase a company's exposure on social networks, without depending on a centralized entity. Centralization, opacity, and high costs are some of the major problems with traditional advertising. Also, there’s a serious lack of user participation. Using blockchain technology, innovative startups are coming up with innovative solutions to these problems, ultimately helping revolutionize advertising. As any user with a substantial social network following can create and monetize content for ad campaigns, these blockchain-based platforms also enable a paradigm shift in influencer marketing.

Digital dollars can be designed in any number of ways, and these design choices will have profound implications for the people who use them. Congress should carefully consider why we need a digital dollar and what should be the core objectives. Is the goal of a digital dollar simply to make payments more efficient, or do we want a digital dollar that helps build a more equitable and inclusive financial system? Under the strain of civil unrest and the COVID-19 lockdown, cracks that have long existed in the American economic system are widening into fissures, from health care and child care to food production and financial services. The accumulation of these fissures is exacerbating an already significant wealth and opportunity gap between richer and poorer American households, one that all too often falls along racial lines. According to Pew Research Center, the U.S. middle class has been shrinking over the past five decades and is no longer a large majority. Related: Bitcoin Has American Mindshare but Few Users See also: Digital Dollar? Get Real, Financial Inclusion Advocates Tell Congress The wealth gap between upper-income and middle- and lower-income families is growing apace. Since 1983, the share of U.S. aggregate wealth of upper income families grew from 60% to 79%, while shares of wealth for middle income families fell from 32% to 17%, and from 7% to 4% for lower income families. Nearly half of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck. In a recent Federal Reserve survey, one in five American workers lost their jobs in March, among which 40% were from low-income households making less than $40,000. The gap in access to financial services has made it difficult for even the government to quickly send rescue money to those in need under the CARES Act. Story continues A few members in Congress had the courage to be innovative and introduced bills proposing a Fed-run digital dollar, but the focus of their bills was limited to a digital dollar that was merely a conduit for American households and businesses to open accounts directly with the Federal Reserve. Elsewhere in the private sector, Facebook revised its Libra offering in an attempt to placate the many and varied critiques of its first crypto-currency proposal. Libras response was simply falling back on conventional and not particularly innovative approaches. Related: Five Years On, Ethereum Really Is the Minecraft of Crypto-Finance These discussions are neglecting how technology design often reinforces the status quo and the gaps between the haves and the have-nots of America. Digital dollar efforts need to be intentional about how their designs leverage actual innovation in a way that helps bridge these gaps if our goal is to foster a more equitable and inclusive national economy. Community-based ownership would allow the economic gains of the network to be equitably shared and not reserved for those who have access to capital and connections. Not unlike the social contract between banks and the public, there is also a social contract between financial platforms and the public. To reflect this truth, these digital dollar networks should be treated as public utilities. The public that uses digital dollar networks should share in the ownership and governance of these networks. Meaningful self-governance of the financial networks and platforms we use would help facilitate actual inclusion of communities in their economic growth and well-being rather than the predatory inclusion that is all-too-common in tech and financial circles. In particular, for underserved communities to find a digital dollar useful and supportive of the kinds of services and products they need, the digital dollar network needs to be first designed around these communities lived experiences and not based on assumptions or aggregate data. Community-based ownership would further ensure a meaningful role in the design of these networks. As owners, they can lay the foundational digital stack for a generative economic ecosystem that serves their real economic needs. Beyond governance, community-based ownership would allow the economic gains of the network to be equitably shared among all participants and not reserved for those who have access to capital and connections. That is, unlike Libra where the network is owned by Facebook and other big tech and financial firms, consideration should be given for public or co-operative ownership of digital dollar networks by the actual users. By placing the users at the top of the ownership structure, revenues and capital can be deployed to best serve the interests of these communities rather than a distant, often rent-seeking, third party.

Prates Digital Dollars Can Reduce Unemployment, Heres How Technological advancement has lowered the costs of creating and administering networks such that a cooperative model for a digital dollar network has become feasible and could unlock significantly more accessible and efficient financial services that are tailored to community needs. Slow paper checks and invoices and costly wire transfers can and should be made irrelevant. People getting faster and more direct access to money would be able to automate their cash flow, saving on time and costly fees. It is time for policymakers to leverage technology for the have-nots and develop a digital dollar system that can do more than just make payments more efficient, and rather, lay a strong digital foundation for economic growth and innovation.

Ruling at the state\x92s First Appellate Court (Division One), Judge Ethan P. Schulman agreed with the summary judgment of a prior trial court that was decided in favor of Coinbase, according to a court document filed on Monday. Plaintiff Darrell Archer first filed the lawsuit against Coinbase on March 27, 2018, alleging the exchange had violated its contract agreement with users over its stance on the Bitcoin Gold hard fork . Coinbase told users it would not support the fork because the project would not release its code to the public and that, as such, it was considered a \x93major security risk,\x94 per the filing. Archer also alleged Coinbase had retained control over the bitcoin gold (BTG) cryptocurrency resulting from the fork for its own benefit during that time. In a hard fork of this nature, a blockchain is split off to form a new chain (sometimes with new features) and a new cryptocurrency. In the case of bitcoin gold, bitcoin was forked, creating BTG tokens equal in number to those owned by holders on the original chain. While investors are automatically awarded their new duplicate holdings if they held their bitcoin in their own blockchain wallets, exchanges decide whether to support the fork and pass new coins onto customers holding assets on their platforms. Archer \x96 who held 350 bitcoin on Coinbase at the time of the fork \x96 followed up his original complaint with an amendment alleging Coinbase\x92s \x93failure and refusal\x94 to pass on the BTG represented breach of contract, negligence and conversion (a civil law version of theft). On the breach of contract claim, the trial court concluded that Archer had failed to establish the existence of an agreement by Coinbase to provide bitcoin gold to him following the fork. The conversion claim failed because the existing agreement did not grant the rights for Archer to the new coins, and did not require Coinbase to support the bitcoin gold fork. To rule otherwise would place the \x93duty\x94 on exchanges of having to support all bitcoin forks, the judge said, quoting a similar ruling in the state of Georgia. For the third cause of action, negligence on behalf of Coinbase, the trial court had rejected Archer\x92s claim based on the \x93 economic loss rule ,\x94 which the court held ruled out liability for negligence based on contractual obligations. The appeals court has now upheld the original ruling that Coinbase\x92s agreement with Archer contained no part requiring Coinbase to provide services for cryptocurrencies from third parties. Carlton Fields attorney Andrew Hinks commented in a Twitter thread late on Tuesday that the case may establish precedent and has implications over the future definition of cryptocurrency as property.

The startup is now working with Tezos developer groups Nomadic Labs and Metastate to implement the tech in the next network update. Similar to the Lightning Network, zkChannels is a payment channel for blockchains but with zero-knowledge proofs attached. A current problem with Lightning – a payment solution built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain – is that in certain settings, you can see other people’s de facto bank accounts, called funding channels. zkChannel hides that information from merchants. Related:After Years of Resistance, BitPay Adopts SegWit for Cheaper Bitcoin Transactions “zkChannels is a chain-agnostic anonymous off-chain protocol that enables cheap and private value transfer between a customer and merchant,” Bolt Labs said in ablog post. Lightning developers are working on similar concepts through different means with projects such asmulti-part payments. Bolt Labs was founded in 2018 by J. Ayo Akinyele with Zcash co-founders Ian Miers and Matthew Green. The privacy projectraised $1.5 millionin an April 2019 seed round joined by Lemniscap, Xpring and others in addition to numerous angel investors such as Zcash co-founder Zooko Wilcox. Read more:Bolt Labs Raises $1.5 Million Seed Round to Boost Lightning Privacy Related:'I Failed Terribly at Keeping My Identity Secret': Scott Alexander on the Value of Pseudonymity Akinyele said the team built on top of Tezos to act as a testing ground of sorts for other blockchains. According to the firm’s announcement post: We are also interested in building a cross-chain bridge via zkChannels for connecting Zcash or Bitcoin to Tezos, and provides censorship-resistance to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Tezos raised $232 million in a 2017 initial coin offering (ICO), marketing itself as the “self-amending” ledger. That means the blockchain can conduct periodic code updates due to its hands-on governance procedures. For example, academic work detailing a possibleselfish mining schemeled to a code patch mere weeks after the paper’s publication. zkChannels is Bolt Labs’ first account-model implementation of its tech, Akinyele told CoinDesk. (Blockchains come in two flavors: the unspent transaction output (UTXO) model used by Bitcoin and the account model employed by Ethereum.) The firm also hasprivate channel implementationsfor both Bitcoin and Zcash, with the latter still in development. Read more:Why Harvard Research on a Low-Profit Tezos Attack Matters for Proof-of-Stake The use of a payment channel on a blockchain thatbarely breaks $100 in average daily fees– compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars processed by Bitcoin and Ethereum daily – seems questionable. Indeed, as CoinDeskreported, 76% of Tezos transactions can be tied back to network validation, called “Baking,” or a coin “faucet” that spouts free XTZ. Akinyele said Bolt Labs built zkChannels on Tezos over other candidates due to the blockchain’s malleable governance. Moreover, zkChannels is easier to implement on a more “pairing friendly” curve called BLS12-381 that Tezos is currently adding.Ethereum operates on another older elliptic curve modeland will not support BLS until a network overhaul called Eth 2.0 is completed. “We’re looking at the fact that Tezos is a new blockchain, but that has a lot of promise based on the building blocks it’s making available to developers,” Akinyele said. • Cryptography Startup Brings Private Payment Channels to Tezos Blockchain • Cryptography Startup Brings Private Payment Channels to Tezos Blockchain... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The cutting-edge innovation designed by DUCATO is coming at a time when DeFi is fast becoming a buzzword in and out of the cryptocurrency industry. With a booming industry sector comes a couple of challenges, DUCATO is assembling a suite of products that solves a wide range of challenges rocking the DeFi ecosystem. At the time of writing, DeFi related activities were at a record high with over $4.43 billion locked in the protocol , with MakerDAO sitting at a staggering 31% dominance. Interestingly, the top 5 DeFi platforms account for an astonishing 82% of the locked value while the majority of the protocol is caught in the web of low liquidity. From a broader overview, the protocol has suffered slow settlement time due to over-reliance on the Ethereum network. The Ether token accounts for over 98% of total assets locked in the protocol, which amount to a relatively slow transaction time and extreme fees whenever the Ethereum network suffers high congestion. DUCATO Hybrid Protocol Mitigates These Impending Challenges The DUCATO innovative DeFi protocol will be entirely decentralized with a pluggable centralized protocol that allows the platform to dip into the traditional market, thereby servicing the DeFi market with deep liquidity, consequently providing room for a wide range of assets to be used as collateral. As a result, the hybrid protocol enables DUCATO to serve the ever-growing population in the traditional lending space, of which DeFi lending is only a minor fraction of the entire lending ecosystem. By letting borrowers use traditional assets like gold, real estate, and other hard assets as collateral, the protocol creates a robust playing ground for traditional lenders and borrowers to get involved in secured, decentralized lending space powered by blockchain technology.

All transactions on the protocol will be facilitated via a smart contract which will take place Onchain, allowing for a high level of transparency, ease of access, and a secured lending environment. This approach makes up for the drawback associated with CeFi services, which aren't entirely secured and transparent. Ducato Protocol Token and Stable Coin KRWD Concept The ecosystem is powered by two innovative tokens that serve distinct purposes: The Ducato's protocol token and stable coin KRWD that is pegged to the Korean Won. The Ducato's protocol token is the transactional token on Ducato hybrid DeFi 2.0 protocol, it is primarily used for settlement of all fees incurred on the platform, and it is also the protocol's governance token. Token holders will have the right to participate in the decision-making process, voting, and proposition of changes to the platform. By interacting with the platform, the protocol token provides cross-platforms support for existing DeFi and CeFi lending services globally. KRWD, on the other hand, is a digital collateral-backed stablecoin that jointly powers the Ducato ecosystem, all transactions related to repayment of debt will be completed using the digital collateral asset-backed native token. Anyone can leverage their asset as collateral and take up loans in KRWD. Whenever a debt is repaid, the associated KRWD is burnt to ensure that the number of KRWD generated in the collateralization process. KRWD is deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, and the value of 1 KRWD is pegged to 1 Korean Won (KRW).

A mass takeover of big-name celebrities including former Vice President Joe Biden, former U.S. President Barack Obama, Kanye West and Elon Musk saw their accounts compromised, starting at 19:00 UTC . Twitter said in a series of tweets that hackers targeted “some of” its employees who had access to internal tools, which they used “to take control of many highly visible (including verified) accounts and [t]weet on their behalf.” The social media platform is looking into what else was impacted, while restoring accounts to their users. Motherboard, VICE Magazine’s tech section, said it spoke to two sources who took over accounts, who claimed they paid a Twitter insider to manage the takeovers. Twitter being “highly centralized” led to the hack, said Ben Sigman, CTO at blockchain startup Make Sense Labs. Twitter employees have “godmode” access to create tweets from any user, Sigman claimed. It’s worth noting all addresses are Bech32 / Segwit addresses, which helps narrow down the wallet and service being used.

Following a 0.05% gain on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the month up by 24.04% to $11,350.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $10,990 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,923.2, Bitcoin rose to a late afternoon intraday high $11,440.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,255.4 and the second major resistance level at $11,387.8. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the resistance levels before finding support. Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $11,350 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Binance Coin (+7.76%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+7.19%), and Ripple’s XRP (+6.22%) led the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.22%), Ethereum (+3.46%), Litecoin (+2.46%), and Monero’s XMR (+4.39%), also found strong support. EOS (+1.36%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.73%), Tezos (+1.44%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.93%) trailed the front runners. Cardano’s ADA bucked the trend, however, falling by 1.17%. It was a bullish July for the crypto market. Cardano’s ADA surged by 67.38% to lead the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV (+46.21%), Ethereum (+53.82%), Litecoin (+41.45%), Ripple’s XRP (+48.21%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+45.72%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+34.44%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+34.87%), EOS (+30.56%), Monero’s XMR (33.17%), Tezos (+20.69%), and Tron’s TRX (+20.39%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $285.49bn to a Monday high $335.81bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $326.94bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.44% to a Tuesday high 64.58% before easing back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.53. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.82% to $11,257.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $11,398 before falling to a low $11,238.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.14%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.21%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.69%) found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP was down by 1.44% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $11,260 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,530. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $11,440. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,710. Failure to move through the $11,260 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,080 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$11,000 levels and the second major support level at $10,810.

The number of ransomware attacks, where hackers encrypt a user’s data files and then demand payment to restore access, climbed by 20% in the first half of the year to reach 121.4 million assaults, according to data security firm SonicWall. Many of the victims chose to pay up. In June, the University of California said it paid $1.14 million to extortionists who’d besieged servers at its medical school. CWT, a travel-management company, handed over $4.5 million worth of Bitcoin last month to resolve a hack, Reuters reported. Garmin Ltd., which sells portable devices linked to global positioning systems, suffered outages in the final week of July it said were due to a cyber attack. While the company hasn’t commented on how it solved the interruptions, various media reports put the ransom demand at $10 million. In the past four years, Kivu Consulting has been involved in more than 700 ransomware incidents. Last year, the cyber security firm was the agent for 143 payments worth more than $17 million. So what should you do when the email arrives saying you’ve been hacked, your data has been compromised and if you don’t pay a ransom, your servers will remain frozen? I caught up with Winston Krone, Kivu’s global managing director, to find out. The following is a lightly edited transcript of our telephone conversation this week. MARK GILBERT: The number of ransomware attacks has climbed substantially this year. Is lockdown having an impact? WINSTON KRONE: We’re in the middle of a huge wave of attacks right now. Companies are coming back to work, employees are bringing infected computers back into the organization. Attackers have waited. The value of a ransomware attack is much bigger now that companies have gotten through the worst part of Covid and have the money to pay. It’s all about business interruption, that’s why people pay a ransom. If the company’s not working, if it’s hobbling along, a ransomware attack is not going to have the impact it would if the company was going full blast. We had attacks a couple of months ago where the victim of the attacks said, “We’re not sure we’re gonna be in business, we’re not paying a ransom because we’re not sure we’re gonna make payroll next month.” Story continues MG: Given that companies are reluctant to admit to being hacked or paying ransom, how big is the iceberg that we only see the tip of? WK: I would suspect the ratio is about 10/1, based on our metrics in the past four years where we know the number of ransomware attacks we were involved in that went public. There are very few unreported cases for publicly traded companies these days. Four years ago there was a huge embarrassment factor, now there’s no incentive to keep it secret. If anything, there’s quite a bit of sympathy for public companies that are hit with ransomware attacks.

Despite the dollar strength seen in early day trading today,GBP/USDcontinues to show strength. Fed Chair Powell was not as optimistic as the recent movements in the dollar and equity markets suggest. He pointed out that recent data might be signaling that the economic recovery is stalling and reiterated that policymakers and the governments need to continue providing support to the economy. Powell emphasized containing the virus is crucial for the economy to recovery but acknowledged the sharp earlier rebound in the labor markets. The dollar is down about 4% in July thus far on a trade-weighted basis as investors have shown a strong appetite for risk. Meanwhile, gold prices are up around 10% this month on the expectation that interest rates will remain low for some time. The US will release GDP figures later today which is expected to show a nearly 35% contraction in growth during the first quarter. The data is likely to cause a volatile reaction in the markets, especially if the figure deviates from analyst expectations. The UK announced an increase to the quarantine period for citizens showing signs of having contracted the Coronavirus. The self-isolation period has been increased from 7 to 10 days as new evidence shows that the risk of infecting others 7-9 days after being infected is higher than previously determined. While the dollar is bouncing broadly against most of its counterparts, Sterling is the only currency to hold near recent highs versus the greenback. With the 1.3000 handle in play, the pair could pull back from current levels if the dollar is able to extend on its recovery. Near-term support for the pair is seen at 1.2959 and considering the recent upward momentum, buyers are likely to defend this level. It may take some form of a catalyst for a change in trend, and so far, yesterday’s Fed meeting has not had a big impact on the exchange rate. A potential medium-term target forGBP/USDis seen at 1.3200 as the level held the pair lower on several attempts early in the year. • GBP/USD is outperforming its major counterparts and is the only currency that hasn’t declined against the greenback in early trading on Thursday. • GDP figures from the US will be released later today.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,600 support levels. The second major support level sits at $11,545.

Reversing a 0.19% loss from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,858.5. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $11,991.5 before hitting reverse. The early rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $11,874 and the second major resistance level at $11,972.5. A pullback through the morning saw Bitcoin slide to a mid-day intraday low $11,689.5. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,667, Bitcoin revisited $11,980 levels before easing back. Bitcoin broke back through the first and second major resistance levels before wrapping up the day at sub-$11,900 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday. EOS rallied by 14% to lead the way, with Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.82%) and Litecoin (+5.38%) seeing solid gains. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.60%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.02%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.1%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. Binance Coin (-0.13%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.01%), Ethereum (-1.43%), Monero’s XMR (-1.92%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.55%), and Tezos (-1.16%) saw red on the day, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $328.26bn before rising to a Saturday high $368.44bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $361.29bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 62.63% before sliding to a Saturday low 60.06%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.58%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.21% to $11,833.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rose to an early high $11,872.5 before falling to a low $11,829.5. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Monero’s XMR and Tezos bucked the trend with gains of 0.10% and 0.89% respectively. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down by 1.17% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $11,847 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,003.5. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the Saturday’s high $11,991.5. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $12,149 before any pullback. Failure to move back through the $11,847 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,702 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,600 support levels. The second major support level sits at $11,545.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)published details of its Paycheck Protection Program(PPP) on Monday, revealing a who’s who of major and minor firms in the industry. Loan recipients included Zcash developer Electric Coin Company, Ethereum venture studio ConsenSys and Rainberry Inc., the U.S. entity acquired by Justin Sun’s Tron Foundation at the time of its BitTorrent acquisition in2018. Related:Irish Charity Receives $1.1M Grant to Build Blockchain Platform for Aid Distribution Crypto venture firms were also represented on the list, includingPolychain Capitaland Unchained Capital. The PPP was created by the Trump administration during the COVID-19 outbreak to help businesses pay their employees during the ongoing economic crisis. The effort was meant to stem layoffs, thoughsome 44 million Americanshave filed for unemployment benefits since March. The loans to blockchain startups are likely to be controversial among cryptocurrency users given the industry’s roots in the liberterian-leaning cypherpunk movement, which distrusted governments and banks. (Satoshi Nakamoto famously embedded a headline about bank bailouts into Bitcoin’s genesis block.) However, not taking an available subsidy arguably might have put any one company at a disadvantage to competitors that did, regardless of what the recipient believes about the policy’s merits, as one industry insider pointed out. It may have even been a point of strategy. “Every fund has been telling their startups to [apply],” one Silicon Valley investor told CoinDesk in April.

That doesn't mean I never touch fiat obviously. But I get paid in btc and when I need some cash I exchange it but I look for options where I can use btc directly when possible.\n\nDoing this depends a lot on your situation, where you live etc. I have a very non-consumer lifestyle so I don't spend a lot on heaps of crap anyway, and live minimalist to the extent feasible. I think the two go together well. I haven't filed taxes in over 20 years and don't intend to fund any government again in my lifetime (other than sales and hidden taxes). Obviously I'm not an average Joe and most people aren't willing to live this way. The less you need to own and flash around, the easier this becomes. I'm not American btw, which helps.\n\nedit - Just wanted to add one thing I find quite helpful - having friends/family who are inclined to accumulating some btc. Sometimes they'll buy me something in exchange for sending some btc to their wallet. It's never for big stuff but eg. headphones on sale at a big box store. It's a win-win coz they don't want the hassle of opening exchange accounts and I don't have to expose myself either. Saves on fees.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.50% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.70% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 2.07% to $11,917.5. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin recovered from an early morning low $11,764 to strike a mid-morning intraday high $11,940.5. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $12,004, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day intraday low $11,691.5. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $11,702 before recovering to $11,900 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday. Bitcoin Cash SV fell by 0.41% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Tron’s TRX led the way, rallying by 12.26%. EOS (+4.11%), Litecoin (+6.64%), Stellar’s Lumen (+7.60%), and Tezos (+4.12%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+1.82%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.32%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.30%), Ethereum (+0.24%), Monero’s XMR (+1.59%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.93%) trailed the front runners. For the week, it was also mixed for the broader market. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.19%), Cardano’s ADA (-4.28%), and Monero’s XMR (-1.69%) saw red. It was bullish for the rest of the majors, however. EOS and Tron’s TRX surged by 28.09% and by 38.31% respectively to lead the way. Ethereum (+11.09%), Litecoin (+12.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (+9.41%), and Tezos (+14.88%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+4.95%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.11%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.71%) trailed the front runners. In the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $328.26bn before rising to a Sunday high $367.82bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $362.51bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 62.63% before sliding to a Sunday low 59.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.29%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.51% to $11,856.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $11,940.0 before falling to a low $11,803.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Cardano’s ADA bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.20%. It was bearish for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 3.09% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $11,850 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,008. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the Sunday’s high $11,940.5. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $12,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $12,099. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $11,850 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,759 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,600 support levels. The second major support level at $11,601 should limit any downside.

Related: Mining ConsolidationBinance is looking toconsolidate more bitcoin mining hashrateto its pool in Russia and the Central Asia region. The world’s largest crypto exchange is deploying a physical server node for its pool at BitRiver, the largest bitcoin mining hosting provider in Bratsk, Russia. The move would give miner owners at BitRiver who choose to switch to Binance a better connection and direct route to its mining pool, the two firms said in an announcement Friday. In return, Binance would gain exposure and access to customers who run their machines at BitRiver, which currently operates mining facilities at a capacity of 70 megawatt (MW) out of potential capacity of 100 MW. ConsenSys AccusedIn a new lawsuit, Ethereum incubatorConsenSys is accused of abusing its position of trust as an investorto access trade secrets and create a rival offering. BlockCrushr, a payments app, said it received a $100,000 investment from ConsenSys and had 20 in-depth discussions with the incubator. Now, the startup says its intellectual property was misappropriated to build ConsenSys’s own payments system Daisy Payments, since rebranded to CodeFi. Plaintiffs filed two counts of misappropriating trade secrets and one count of a breach of contract, and are suing for damages.

Following the hack, which Twitter says affected130 accounts,Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), vocal critic of tech platforms, fired off an open letter to CEO Jack Dorsey. The event, Hawley said, “may represent not merely a coordinated set of separate hacking incidents but rather a successful attack on the security of Twitter itself.” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) also took aim at Twitter’s architecture. In a statement, he sounded off on the fact that users’ direct messages (DMs) lack end-to-end encryption. “This is a vulnerability that has lasted for far too long, and one that is not present in other, competing platforms. If hackers gained access to users’ DMs, this breach could have a breathtaking impact for years to come,” Wyden said. Wyden revealed he had met with Dorsey privately in 2018 and discussed implementing this privacy feature. While the hack only made off with approximately $120,000, it will persist as a lasting blight on centralized internet platforms for years. In view of Twitter’s unofficial role within politics and media as the broadcaster of all broadcasts, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) said the hack could have had “major consequences” on elections. It’s a view shared by others. “With more than 300 million users, Twitter is a primary source of news for many, making it a target for bad actors. This type of hack by con artists for financial gain can also be a tool of foreign actors and others to spread disinformation and – as we’ve witnessed – disrupt our elections,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. With afederal investigationunderway, “the hack is likely to continue to ratchet up pressure on social media companies, which are already facing scrutiny over content moderation, disinformation and foreign interference,” CoinDesk reports. But that doesn’t mean we’re any closer to adecentralized alternative.As Start9 Lab’s Matt Hill put it, the hack “is yet another wake-up call. And like most wakeup calls, it will be greeted with a snooze button and a growing sense of anxiety. First MoverThe notoriouslyvolatile bitcoin slid just 0.8%to about $9,100 on Thursday, following the largest social media hack in recent memory, which involved an amateurish crypto scam. That’s in a market where it’s not uncommon for prices to swing 8% in a day. “It’s a non-event for price,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the cryptocurrency firm Diginex, told First Mover in an email. The reasons for the non-event revolve around the contradictory and mostly-psychological readings of the event. Little in bitcoin was stolen, all publicity is good publicity and the hack shows how easy it is to track stolen crypto. Maybe most salient: Bitcoin is worth stealing. Your Prime Membership Should Be TokenizedJeff Dorman, a CoinDesk columnist and chief investment officer at Arca, thinksAmazon Prime membership should be tokenized.Tokenization offers the clearest path to show digital ownership and maintain property rights, he said, but it also offers incentives for token owners to maintain, develop and propagate their platforms. In a sense, it’s the easiest way to link shareholders and users of a platform together. “This is the only path where capitalism and socialism can converge, and we’re seeing it happen in real time. Debt, equity and tokenized digital assets will all have a place in an investor’s portfolio and, more importantly, in customers’ portfolios. The lines are likely to blur as investors become active participants in the bootstrapped growth of the companies they love,” he writes. • Blockchain Bites: Binance’s Bitcoin Mining, ConsenSys’ Legal Trouble and Why Politicians Blame Twitter, Not Bitcoin • Blockchain Bites: Binance’s Bitcoin Mining, ConsenSys’ Legal Trouble and Why Politicians Blame Twitter, Not Bitcoin... - 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: ['Major Chinese bitcoin mining pools are each seeing daily hashrate drops of between 10% and 20% following continuous rainstorms in Sichuan. China’s southwestern Sichuan province, a mountainous region that is estimated to have over 50% of the Bitcoin network’s total computing power, has been hit by heavy rainstorms since last week , which peaked over the last two days. The heavy rainstorms have caused electricity outages in parts of the region as hydro-plants stop generating power to help discharge the floods. Some counties are also experiencing telecommunication and internet breakdowns, said Kevin Pan, CEO and co-founder of PoolIn. Related: PayPal Co-founder, DCG-Backed BTC Mining Firm Layer1 Accused of Patent Infringement As result, impacted bitcoin mining farms in the region are forced to unplug from the network for the time being. It’s not clear when the situation will prove as the rainstorms are still ongoing. Data from BTC.com shows the world’s top four bitcoin mining pools – PoolIn, F2Pool, BTC.com and Antpool, all based in China – have each seen their hashrates drop between 10% and 20% over the last 24 hours. The computing power connected to these four pools accounts for around 50% of the Bitcoin network’s total. Pan said in a Weibo post Tuesday China time that in addition to mining farms being forced to unplug due to electricity and internet disruptions, some have also proactively paused operations ahead of time and evacuated their on-site staff for safety precautions. According to the Xinhua News Agency , the accumulated rain volume in a dozen most-impacted cities in Sichuan between Aug. 10-15 alone has already surpassed the average August monthly volume in any year’s record.

(OTCQB: INTV). Read the full article on Cryptocurrency Companies on Investorideas.comhttps://www.investorideas.com/news/2020/crypto-corner/08070Revenue-Growth.asp Bitcoin and all major cryptocurrencies have seen not only a massive surge in prices recently but also a huge growth in both acceptance and interest in crypto as a replacement for and a hedge against traditional money and finance. The demand is driven by both millennials and institutional investors. Matt Luongo, CEO of Thesis recentlyreported, "Millennial finance is premised on the ability of new technologies to fundamentally and permanently reshape how the money system operates in both form and function. This isn't just theory. It's happening now, and millennials are leading the charge. The success of platforms likeRobinhood, Acorns and Wealthfront demonstrates the potency of this movement and underscores millennials' thirst for options beyond the traditional banks and brokerage houses." "But these apps are only the tip of the iceberg. Their fundamental innovation is around user experience; they ultimately use the same financial infrastructure that legacy banks and wealth managers do. Millennial finance has more in store - and cryptocurrencies will be key. Rather than building a better train to run over the same old rails, crypto lets us build new, open, peer-to-peer rails." Forbesreported, "Institutional demand for bitcoin is soaring amid the coronavirus crisis, with multi-billion dollar bitcoin and crypto-asset manager Grayscale reporting its biggest-ever quarterly inflows of almost $1 billion." Previously involved in the crypto sector and now seeing significant opportunities ahead, Integrated Ventures Inc. (OTCQB: INTV)just reportedthe execution of a $1,000,000 Term Sheet with Eagle Equities, LLC and updated shareholders with recent corporate developments. From the news:The Company has agreed and executed Term Sheet with Eagle Equities, LLC for Private Placement, in the amount of $1,086,956, which will be used to expand cryptocurrency operations and to support future acquired operations. Use of proceeds: (1) purchases of 500 () assorted mining rigs: Antminer S17/S19, WhatsMiner and Innosilicon A10 and (2) deployment of the capital to support potential M&A transactions (*). From the news:The Company has decided to diversify its business operations, by expanding its focus from cryptocurrency mining operations to aggressive pursuit and implementation of M&A roll-up, a growth driven strategy seeking to achieve, above market, risk-adjusted returns, primarily by targeting: (1) companies in financial distress, (2) undergoing a turnaround or (3) undervalued companies that are looking for financial assistance, due to the current economic conditions. Integrated Ventures intends to acquire, merge-in and consolidate underperforming companies, mainly in the technology sector, which will allow INTV to combine all financial and management resources together, to cut down operational costs, and to increase the Company's revenues and market cap. From the news:To assist with execution of roll-up strategy, the Company plans to engage a business consulting group, with verifiable revenue generating M&A targets. These pre-vetted targets have a history of 2+ year operations with consistent revenues and EBITDA margins of 10%+. The Company intends to pursue such acquisitions, by offering below market multiples to the revenues with 10%-15% in cash and common stock. As of today, the Company has identified 2 such targets and if successful in closing these 2 deals, Integrated Ventures annual sales are expected to reach around $5.5 million. Integrated Ventures CEO, Steve Rubakh, commented, "The Company plans to diversify and expand its operations, by acquiring revenue generating assets that are available at below market pricing. We intend to assemble a team consisting of experienced and seasoned business professionals, ready to execute a value driven approach, thru a bottom-up research and due diligence process that seeks to capitalize on unique market opportunities. Continued:"We believe that this new business strategy offers an exciting path forward and will significantly increase Company's assets, market valuation and result in an increase in shareholder's value." With the funding, Integrated Ventures intends to focus on the following sectors: Data Center - Design Construction & Management, Cryptocurrency- Mining and Equipment Sales, DeFi Blockchain - Investments, Applications & Node Operations and E-Commerce & Information Technology Consulting Services. How big is the opportunity for companies in the sector?Crypto Corner reported, "Financial services firm Square, Inc reported in a letter to shareholders, that it generated $875 million of bitcoin revenue and $17 million of bitcoin gross profit during Q2 2020 on its Cash App. This represents a revenue increase of 600 percent year over year, something the letter ascribes to "an increase in bitcoin activities and growth in customer demand." As of June, the company boasted "more than 30 million monthly transacting active customers," on its Cash App." For investors following the sector Investor Ideas has a comprehensiveBitcoin, Blockchain and Digital Currency Stocks Directory Also visit theCrypto Corner podcastand commentary on what's driving cryptocurrency stocks and the crypto 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, BTC to USD, fell by 2.79% on Tuesday. Reversing most of a 3.18% rally from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,954.5. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $12,402.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $12,616.33, Bitcoin tumbled to an early afternoon intraday low $11,811.5. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $11,846.83 before briefly revisiting $12,000 levels. A bearish end to the day left Bitcoin back at sub-$12,000 levels and in the deep red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish day for the majors on Tuesday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.99%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-3.83%), EOS (-5.35%), Ripple’s XRP (-3.98%), Stellar’s Lumen (-4.90%), Tezos (-5.07%), and Tron’s TRX (-5.15%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-2.21%), Cardano’s ADA (-2.42%), Ethereum (-2.13%), Litecoin (-2.62%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.28%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. At the start of the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $384.00bn before sliding to an early Wednesday low $349.40bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $352.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.97% before rising to a Wednesday morning high 61.61%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.39%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.76% to $11,744.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $12,022.5 before sliding to a low $11,650.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $11,710.0 early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day for the crypto majors. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 6.66% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $12,056 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,301. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $12,022.5. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $12,500 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $12,056 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,710 back into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,500 support levels. The second major support level sits at $11,466.

Related:How Real Is Bitcoin’s Rally? 8 Interpretations of Bitcoin's Massive Surge Joe DiPasquale, CEO of the cryptocurrency hedge fund BitBull Capital, told First Mover in an email that the latest move up appeared “in sync” with gold’s climb in recent days to a new record. Bitcoin is seen by many digital-asset analysts as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement, similar to the way investors in traditional markets have historically used gold. “Bitcoin sprung into action,” DiPasquale said. It’s a remarkable development in the bitcoin market, where investors, as recently as last week, were despairing that the oldest and largest cryptocurrency had been stuck in a range between $9,000 and $10,000 for the past two months. So for bitcoin bulls, the jolt out of the doldrums was welcome, especially when the pricewent up, not down. The day’s gain came on strong trading volume, with levels not seen since early June. Related:Bitcoin’s Latest Rally May Have Staying Power, Exchange Flows Suggest “The trend is clear and we are headed higher,” said Jack Tan, of Taiwan-based quantitative trading firm Kronos Research. Bitcoin is now up 57% year to date, more than double the 28% gain this year for gold, which climbed in recent days to a record. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks, meanwhile, is roughly flat for the year. “Given gold has just set a new all-time high, and with bitcoin’s correlation to stocks breaking down while being replaced by a strong correlation to gold, we envisage further tests to the upside this coming week,” the cryptocurrency-trading firmDiginexwrote in a daily market report. The U.S. Dollar Currency Index, a gauge of the greenback’s value versus other major currencies like the euro and yen, has fallen for seven straight sessions; the Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs predicts the dollar could lose another 5% over the next 12 months. “The U.S. dollar is eroding quickly, and people are starting to notice,” wrote Mati Greenspan, founder of the cryptocurrency and foreign-exchange research firm Quantum Economics, in his daily email. “It’s plain to see that people are ditching the buck as fast as they can.” That’s good for bitcoin and gold: As the Wall Street Journal put it Monday, a weakening dollar “mechanically pushes up the prices of the commodities invoiced in greenbacks.” Investors appear worried the global economic recovery is faltering, with cases on the rise and a death toll globally thatjust passed 650,000. In the U.S. Congress, Senate Republicans proposed a $1 trillion relief package following negotiations with President Donald Trump, but that amount falls far short of a Democrat-led plan for $3.5 trillion in stimulus. Jim Reid, strategist for the German lender Deutsche Bank, wrote in a report that the Federal Reserve, which has already expanded its balance sheet this year by about $3 trillion to about $7 trillion, might need to pump another $12 trillion over the next few years. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet this week in closed-door discussions, with a statement due late Wednesday. With interest rates already close to zero, no major policy changes are expected, but the cryptocurrency investment fund Arca noted Monday that a sell-off in the U.S. stock market might provoke the U.S. central bank to respond. A report on Thursday is expected to show that U.S. gross domestic product declined during the second quarter by a staggering 35% on an annualized basis. With so much fragility in the economy, and things not improving quickly, “the moral hazard is now so high that the stock market barely even has to blink,” Arca wrote. For bitcoin, according to Arca, “the breakout was just a matter of time.” BTC: Price: $10,773 (BPI) \| 24-Hr High: $11,395 \| 24-Hr Low: $10,215 Trend: Bitcoin is witnessing a low-volume technical pullback on Tuesday. The largest cryptocurrency by market value is currently trading near $10,850 – down over 4% from the 11-month high of $11,394 reached on Monday. The drop in price suggests bitcoin may be overvalued. The 14-day relative strength index jumped to 82 as prices surged 11% on Monday. An above-70 reading indicates overbought conditions – meaning excessive demand has pushed prices unjustifiably high. The pullback may be extended further, as the 14-day RSI is still hovering above 70. In addition, the RSI on the hourly chart has dropped into bearish territory below 50. That said, the bullish bias might be invalidated if prices finish below $10,500 (the February high) at the UTC market close. That looks unlikely, as the decline from multi-month highs observed so far today is accompanied by a slide in trading volumes (above right). A low-volume pullback is often short-lived. Besides, some analysts are convinced that Monday’s bullish move has put bitcoin on the path toward record highs. “[Monday’s] daily close is amazing and could very well resemble April 2019’s $1k candle that ended the bear market and fueled a rally to $13,000. Only this time, the rally should lead to new all-time-high for BTC,” popular analystJosh Rager tweetedearly Tuesday. • First Mover: The Dollar Drop May Have Helped Push Bitcoin Past $11K • First Mover: The Dollar Drop May Have Helped Push Bitcoin Past $11K... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The settlement, which was reached on June 11 and effectively ends a six-month court fight with the agency, also indicates the messaging platform will be responsible for a $1.22 billion disgorgement that is offset by $1.19 billion paid as termination amounts in investors purchase agreements and the amounts that some investors loaned to Telegram earlier this year. Telegram has 30 days to pay the SEC penalty and up to four years to pay back investors under the settlement. Additionally, Telegram should notify the SEC if the company wants to issue cryptocurrencies, digital coins, digital tokens, or any similar digital asset issued or transferred using distributed ledger technology at any point over the next three years. The notification which is not a request for an approval should come 45 days prior to the planned issuance, the settlement reads.

Previously, Telegram offered its non-U.S. investors an opportunity to loan their money to the company for one year, with a pledge to pay back 110% of the amount invested next April. This was as an alternative to getting back 72% of the investment this May the amount previously agreed upon by the investors. Not everyone was happy with the deal, with some investors saying they considered suing Telegram . $1.7B token offering The SEC sued Telegram in October 2019 after the company raised $1.7 billion to fund the development of its TON blockchain project. A federal court sided with the SEC when the agency asked to block Telegram from issuing any tokens as it had planned to do earlier this year. While Telegram appealed initially, it later halted this effort . Story continues The company announced it would be ceasing work on TON on May 27, though it published some code for the project.

While Telegram ostensibly no longer plans to update its code for TON, it did write that some minor bug fixes and Github issue answers may occasionally appear if any of the members of the original team have the spare time and inclination to contribute to the communitys efforts. Telegram managed to release most of the TON code, including blockchain nodes , a technical paper on TONs consensus protocol and a native crypto wallet . While Telegram itself claimed it would no longer launch TON, another entity, TON Labs, launched its own version of the network with a group of professional validators. The SEC declined to comment on the proposed settlement, but said in a letter to the court that the proposed settlement is fair and reasonable and in the public interest. In a statement shared with CoinDesk and later published to Telegram founder Pavel Durovs Telegram channel, the company said the settlement reconfirms our commitment to repay the remaining funds to purchasers. Since we saw limited value in pursuing the court case further, we welcomed the opportunity to resolve it without admitting or denying our liability, the statement said, concluding that he hoped the U.S. becomes friendlier to blockchain in the future.

Today's Key News: ["INX Ltd. said it will launch its long-awaited landmark initial public offering (IPO) as soon as Monday, capping a nearly two-year journey for the startup cryptocurrency and security token exchange. “It is anticipated that the offering will begin on Aug. 24, 2020, or shortly thereafter,” the Gibraltar-based company said in a press release Thursday. Also Thursday, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) posted a notice of effectiveness , officially clearing the sale. As previously reported, INX has priced its 130 million tokens, which are to run on the Ethereum blockchain, at $0.90 each, totaling $117 million in gross proceeds. This was smack in the middle of the target range of $0.80 to $1.00 per token. After offering expenses and fees to advisory firm A-Labs, the sale would net up to $111 million, according to INX’s latest filing with the SEC. The net proceeds would be used to: Build INX Trading Solutions, a regulated exchange for cryptocurrencies, security tokens and derivatives. Build a cash fund to protect the company and its customers in the event of a data breach, trading execution error or counterparty default. The instruments on offer are a hybrid of utility and security tokens. Investors could use them to pay trading fees on INX’s platform. The tokens would also entitle holders to a share of company profits.

Story continues It’s been a long road for the company, whose U.S. operations are led by Executive Managing Director Alan Silbert.

The company filed its F-1 prospectus (the SEC’s form for foreign issuers) almost exactly a year ago. To comply with know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, INX has written a smart contract that allows only wallet addresses belonging to investors that have been vetted and put on a “whitelist” to receive the tokens. TokenSoft, a registration agent that specializes in blockchain token offerings, is doing the KYC checks and maintaining the registry of investors. Last month, INX hired Paz Diamant as its chief technology officer, regulatory filings show.

Shares in Japan rose despite a dive in the country’s exports. Weakness in the financial sector are pushing down shares in Australia and Hong Kong is called lower in anticipation of a reaction to city-tightened restrictions. At 01:26 GMT,Japan’s Nikkei 225 Indexis trading 22674.73, down 21.69 or -0.10% and South Korea’s KOSPI Index is at 2190.39, down 10.80 or -0.49%. China’s Shanghai Index is trading 3213.74, down 0.39 or -0.01% and Australia’s ASX/200 Index is at 6010.20, down 23.40 or -0.39%. China is expected to keep itsbenchmark lending ratesteady for the third straight month at its July fixing on Monday, a Reuters survey showed, encouraged by a stronger-than-expected rebound from the coronavirus crisis. Thirty-four traders and analysts out of 36 participants in the snap survey this week predicted no change to the one-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR). The remaining two expected a marginal reduction of five basis points (bps) in both tenors. The one-year LPR is now 3.85% after two cuts this year, while the five-year rate is at 4.65%. Japan’s exports fellin May at the fastest pace since the global financial crisis as U.S.-bound car shipments plunged, bolstering expectations for a deeper contraction in the world’s third-largest economy this quarter. U.S.-bound exports – Japan’s key market – halved to market the biggest annual drop since March 2009, due to more than 70% declines in shipments of cars and car parts. Japan is the world’s second-largest exporter of autos. U.S.-bound exports fell to 588 billion Yen ($5.48 billion), the lowest since February 2009, shrinking Japan’s trade surplus with the United States to 10 billion Yen, the smallest since records began in January 1979. Hong Kong tightened coronavirus restrictions on Sunday, with non-essential civil servants told to work from home from this week, as the global financial hub reported a record number of daily cases. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam told a news conference the city recorded more than 100 cases in the past 24 hours, the most since the pandemic took hold in late January, taking the tally close to 2,000 patients, 12 of whom have died.

It\'s bordered by Syria from the north and east, Israel from the south, and the Mediterranean Sea from the west. Syria has been in a deadly civil war since 2012. Lebanon and Israel are officially "at war" since the inception of Israel, though currently there isn\'t any war going on, and the last real war between the two countries happened in 2006 and lasted only 30 days. \n> \n>Lebanon went into a long and deadly civil war in the 70s and 80s. It only ended when the war lords sat together and decided that instead of attempting to kill each other, why not become rulers and split the gains. Thus from the early 90s until today Lebanon has been ruled by the same warlords that fought in the civil war. The speaker of the parliament never changed, not even once, and the rest of MPs and politicians just switched ministries and places every few years to present the image of democracy. \n> \n>Lebanon also has Hizbollah, an organization that is labeled as a terrorist organization by many countries. Hizbollah has more powerful intillegence and military than the Lebanese government itself. The organization has unobstructed powers, for example, it started the 2006 war with Israel without the acceptance of the official Lebanese government. \n> \n>Lebanese politicians save their billions and billions of dollars in savings in banks across Europe, mainly Switzerland. \n> \n>Lebanon doesn\'t have oil, nor a serious construction sector. Lebanon relies on the service sector and tourism to survive, both of which are almost nonexistent at this point. Lebanon has a huge crippling debt. Lebanon\'s capital, Beirut, was voted the most expensive city to live in in the middle east two years ago. Lebanon\'s passport is one of the worst passports in the world and doesn\'t allow you to visit any notable country without a visa. \n> \n>October 2019 - Political, COVID-19 and Economical Problems\n> \n>In October 2019, the government approved a law that would increase taxes, and tax the usage of Whatsapp. The Lebanese population attempted a peaceful revolution, the country effectively closed down from October until December. The revolution was successful in forcing the government to resign, but wasn\'t able to make the president, MPs or speaker of the parliament resign. \n> \n>Things went to shit after that, unofficial capital control started in October. The bank declared that people can\'t withdraw money from their savings or current accounts. People weren\'t allowed to transfer money outside Lebanon or use any credit or debit card internationally. The government started considering a haircut. The currency started to lose value rapidly. \n> \n>The official rate is currently 1$ = 1,515 LBP while the black market rate is 1$ = 8,500 LBP \n> \n>The money stuck in the bank is useless, almost frozen because it can\'t be withdrawn without losing \\~65% of it\'s value and even then, in small quantities. \n> \n>Add to that COVID-19 is ripping the country. We\'re having exponential growth in the number of cases right now. \n> \n>The Explosion\n> \n>On August 4, 2020 multiple explosions occurred in Beirut Port that destroyed half the city, killed hundreds, with an additional large number of people missing, injured hundreds of thousands of people and made 300,000 people homeless. 80000 children displaced. The explosion was so big that it was heard and felt in Cyprus and Syria. There were reports of damages to properties from the explosions all over Lebanon, not just in Beirut. \n> \n>The explosion destroyed half of the city including busy hospitals, which ended up causing people to have to deliver or have critical operations using the flash light from the doctors\' cellphones. \n> \n>The explosion killed several foreign nationals including French, German, Canadian, American, and Australian citizens. \n> \n>This post is made to raise awareness about what happened in Lebanon by sharing the videos of the incident. Please note that those videos are graphic as they show the moment the explosion happened. \n> \n>Donation Help\n> \n>Any kind of monetary donation will go a LONG way during these times. \n> \n>You can donate using your credit card, paypal account, bank transfer or bitcoin donation. \n> \n>You can find a list of verified and safe NGOs to donate to here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/lebanon/comments/iaaksr/list\\_of\\_lebanese\\_ngos\\_that\\_are\\_verified\\_and\\_safe/](https://www.reddit.com/r/lebanon/comments/iaaksr/list_of_lebanese_ngos_that_are_verified_and_safe/) \n> \n>You can check out some of the videos here:\n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQfJXrcTxRM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQfJXrcTxRM) \n> \n>* Angle #1 [https://streamable.com/xmmoa7](https://streamable.com/xmmoa7) \n> \n>* Angle #2 [https://streamable.com/nscx9m](https://streamable.com/nscx9m) \n> \n>* Angle #3 [https://streamable.com/zbjj5f](https://streamable.com/zbjj5f) \n> \n>* Angle #4 [https://streamable.com/saoafz](https://streamable.com/saoafz) \n> \n>* Angle #5 [https://streamable.com/4ga1vb](https://streamable.com/4ga1vb) \n> \n>* Angle #6 [https://streamable.com/lmivb2](https://streamable.com/lmivb2) \n> \n>* Angle #7 [https://streamable.com/mcy82f](https://streamable.com/mcy82f) \n> \n>* Angle #8 [https://streamable.com/zg9oal](https://streamable.com/zg9oal) \n> \n>* Angle #9 [https://streamable.com/zykkj6](https://streamable.com/zykkj6) \n> \n>* Angle #10 [https://streamable.com/22e152](https://streamable.com/22e152) \n> \n>* [https://twitter.com/HZLABZ/status/1290728687311233024](https://twitter.com/HZLABZ/status/1290728687311233024) \n> \n>* [https://www.instagram.com/tv/CDqBvxBhPzO/?igshid=nnq6omqpye0](https://www.instagram.com/tv/CDqBvxBhPzO/?igshid=nnq6omqpye0) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLgzyUB58tI&feature=youtu.be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLgzyUB58tI&feature=youtu.be) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hmj6BegDUU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hmj6BegDUU) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdSHRbSZkwc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdSHRbSZkwc) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUQ-QvCqDjA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUQ-QvCqDjA) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea04DriyYb4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea04DriyYb4) \n> \n>* [https://twitter.com/Hasi10209552/status/1291280651920998400?s=09](https://twitter.com/Hasi10209552/status/1291280651920998400?s=09) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1iwI2ZwENg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1iwI2ZwENg) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFR1PJnLwg0&feature=youtu.be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFR1PJnLwg0&feature=youtu.be) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgj7AcIZ4c8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgj7AcIZ4c8) \n> \n>* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WRyrF7v8Co&feature=youtu.be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WRyrF7v8Co&feature=youtu.be) \n> \n>* ...

Daily Context for Date: 2020-08-22 Financial & Commodity Data: - Gold Closing Price: $1934.60 - Crude Oil Closing Price: $42.34 Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics: - Market Capitalization: $214,950,070,412 - Hash Rate: 114577256.01642336 - Transaction Count: 311699.0 - Unique Addresses: 649053.0 Social & AI Sentiment: - Fear & Greed Index: 0.78 Other Textual Data: - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: U.S. West Texas Intermediate and international-benchmark Brent crude oil finished slightly lower last week as traders digested a number of off-setting factors. Bullish private industry and government inventories data helped underpin the markets, while the possibility of increased supply after OPEC+ announced it would begin tapering its production cuts starting in August weighed on prices. Meanwhile, traders were also monitoring the surge in COVID-19 cases that could lead to a mild case of demand destruction. Last week, September WTI crude oil futures settled at $40.75, down $0.01 or -0.02% and September Brent crude oil finished at $43.14, down $0.10 or -0.23%. American Petroleum Institute Weekly Inventories Report The API reported late Tuesday a huge draw in crude oil inventories of 8.322 million barrels for the week-ending July 10 . Analysts were looking for a smaller draw of 2.275 million barrels. The API also reported a draw of 3.611 million barrels of gasoline for the week-ending July 10. Analysts forecast a 900,000-barrel draw for the week. Distillate inventories were up by 3.03 million barrels for the week, while Cushing inventories saw a build of 548,000 barrels. US Crude, Refined Products Stocks Drop Sharply: EIA U.S. crude oil and refined product inventories fell sharply last week due in part to a notable drop in crude imports, the Energy Information Administration said last Wednesday. Crude inventories fell 7.5 million barrels in the week to July 10 to 531.7 million barrels , compared with analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 2.1 million-barrel drop. The decline was driven by a steep drop in imports, which fell by a net 2 million barrels per day (bpd), the EIA said. U.S. imports of oil from Mexico returned to more typical levels at 490,000 bpd in the most recent week, after a surprising spike to an eight-year high in the previous period. Gasoline demand , meanwhile, dipped modestly as more U.S. states have reimposed lockdowns as coronavirus cases and deaths are spiking anew. Overall, gasoline supplied over the last four weeks, a proxy for demand, is 9% below the same period a year ago. Story continues Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 453,000 barrels. However, Gulf Coast distillate inventories rose last week to 58.6 million barrels, highest on record. OPEC+ Agreed to Ease Record Supply Curbs from August OPEC and its allies agreed on Wednesday to scale back oil production cuts from August as the global economy slowly recovers from the coronavirus pandemic. OPEC+ has been reducing output since May by 9.7 million barrels per day, or 10% of global supply, but from August, cuts will officially taper to 7.7 million bpd until December. Despite the official OPEC+ accord, Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said production cuts in August and September would end up amounting to about 8.1 million-8.3million bpd, more than the headline number. That’s because countries in the grouping which over-produced earlier this year would compensate by making extra August-September cuts, the minister said. Weekly Forecast The OPEC+ move is risky because the rise in coronavirus infections in the United States and around the world could lead to a second round of demand destruction if the outbreak cannot be contained. However, some traders are downplaying the threat, citing tightening global inventories and a pick-up in the economy as reasons to remain optimistic. The next major move in crude oil will be determined by whether we see more draws in the coming weeks. If the API and EIA reports continue to indicate a tightening of supplies then this may be enough to offset the potentially bearish tapering of the production cuts. A tightening of supplies, however, will be largely determined by whether the economy continues to recover. Of major concern will be gasoline demand. If consumers decide voluntarily or are forced to shut down then this could weigh on fuel demand. “The gasoline demand number is very weak, and with the coronavirus situation worsening, it’s only going to get worse. That’s going to be a weight on the market,” said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital in New York. For a look at all of today’s economic events, check out our economic calendar .

I know this might dip, and hell we might even see 10,500-11K again. There is just too many forces at work for this not to go a lot higher though.\n\n\\#1 is you have Greyscale and other companies picking up huge amounts of bitcoin almost double even what the miners are able to produce per block. Simply put the supply is dwindling and the upward pressure will be too strong at some point. The miners tend to sell some of their rewards, but they are not selling all. \n\n\\#2 The dollar is in a really bad situation here. If people are noticing the main correlation of where bitcoin price goes it lies in the strength/weakness of the dollar. With 28 trillion in debt I am not sure how we make it out of this hole. I don't think you will see it completely collapse, however the printing presses are really going full tilt which inflation is under control right now, but for how long ? One of the major currencies Dollar, Yen, Euro, or Yuan will come close to collapsing in the next few years. Fiat can only go for so long before it needs a hard re-set. \n\n\\#3 Mining rewards were halved. I know this was months ago, but not having double the bitcoin being dumped is a huge advantage. The bitcoin is in strong hands / hodlers.\n\n\\#3 the Defi game has changed the landscape. More and more people are going to jump on the Defi bandwagon and get their bitcoins wrapped or use Blockfi, Aave ect. In the short term these can be used to short bitcoin, but it's already creating a wave of buying so people can get the yield. This has more advantages on upward price movements as it will control the tempo. On the other side of this however is in a year or two one of these will blow up taking everyone's btc with them so be careful.\n\n\\#4 On August 1st we had a sell off where they pushed the bid down from 12k to 10,500 in 15 minutes on massive sell orders and some stop loss selling. Each tumble like that is getting more and more expensive. These pushes are to scoop up the derivatives they buy before the major sell offs . This has been a ongoing trend in bitcoin from even the early years (not the derivatives side). As time goes on and there are less and less coins these are getting way more expensive to manipulate it on the short side. That's why they did the dump in such a short time frame, because the longer the dump is going to cost even more money. \n\nOverall I can really see this taking off again soon after the consolidation. I also believe we take out the ATH here in a few months.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ie90c1/time_to_buy_in/', 'ie90c1', [['u/Mark_Bear', 14, '2020-08-22 03:22', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ie90c1/time_to_buy_in/g2dznnv/', 'I hear what you\'re saying. \n\nPoints 3, 3, and 4: agreement. \n\nPoint1. Good point. For me, it\'s a maybe. Maybe Grayscale is buying actual Bitcoin, maybe not. Maybe we\'re seeing something like \'rehypothecation\' where the custodian has 1 BTC and they tell 2, 3, or 37 different people that it belongs to them. Maybe not. I\'ve been around to know better than to trust these kinds of people. \n\nPoint2: Yes. Eventually. We might have deflation first, then hyperinflation. Maybe not. But hyperinflation, sooner or later. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nYou\'re screaming, "DEflation!!" I can hear it from here. How? Good question. Think about the fiat currency global banking system. QE "money printing" aside, money was created when loans were taken out -- fractional reserve lending. Therefore, (fiat, fractional-reserve) money is destroyed (goes back into thin air) when loans are payed off, or go bad. We\'re seeing a lot of bad loans, and we\'re about to see even more: Mortgages for homes and for rental properties. Business loans. Bonds. Government loans at all levels. Student debt. Auto loans. Credit card debt. Second mortgages. Boat loans. Furniture. Stocks bought on margin. Etc. \n\nAs much of that debt goes bad, it creates deflation pressure. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nLook at 1929, for example. There was deflation. In the current global banking system, deflation is like trying to ride a motorcycle downhill and backwards. Eventually you crash. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nEventually, hyperinflation. For now, much of the money "printed" by the Federal Reserve is going to cronies and bankers and people who are already ultra-rich. The "theory" used to tell us that it "trickles down" to the common man, but that has been shown to be total bullshit. So, most of that newly created money is not helping people to make loan payments. \n\nBasically, the central bankers and their cronies are "stealing everything worth owning". That\'s also a reason to own Bitcoin starting now... The Fed can\'t "print" Bitcoins and the government cannot confiscate them (if they\'re stored properly). \n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnyhow, I need to go buy the dip now.', 'ie90c1'], ['u/jcoinner', 12, '2020-08-22 03:35', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ie90c1/time_to_buy_in/g2e11o3/', 'Only a super heavy duty blender can do that.', 'ie90c1']]], ['u/SpockSays', 'Does the lightning network have "equal" qualities to the base layer of the bitcoin protocol?', 29, '2020-08-22 04:38', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/ieaoga/does_the_lightning_network_have_equal_qualities/', 'For example, the bitcoin protocol when operating on the base layer has these qualities: Finality, uncensorable, unseizable, unfreezable, permissionless, borderless.\n\nThese qualities are what make bitcoin, bitcoin.\n\nDoes using lightning network encompass all of these same qualities?\n\nIf not, what are the trade offs?\n\nIs there a good reading, video, or podcast that covers this specific question with more depth?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/ieaoga/does_the_lightning_network_have_equal_qualities/', 'ieaoga', [['u/andreasma', 19, '2020-08-22 05:23', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/ieaoga/does_the_lightning_network_have_equal_qualities/g2eh26j/', 'Yes, equal and in some of those qualities Lightning is actually better. \n\nFaster finality, better privacy, less censorable.', 'ieaoga']]], ['u/AutoModerator', '[Daily Discussion] Saturday, August 22, 2020', 50, '2020-08-22 06:05', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/', "Thread topics include, but are not limited to:\n\n* General discussion related to the day's events\n* Technical analysis, trading ideas & strategies\n* Quick questions that do not warrant a separate post\n\nThread guidelines:\n\n* Be excellent to each other.\n* Do not make posts outside of the daily thread for the topics mentioned above.\n\nOther ways to interact:\n\n* [Get an invite](https://join.slack.com/t/reddit-bitcoinmarkets/shared_invite/enQtNjM1NTg3ODgwODUzLTQ2NjZjYjYxMWExZmZmMWY0MDNlN2JlM2RhZmM0NWY1YzY1MDlkOTMyNWFjNTZjYTg1ZDM2YmEwMWRkZjIwYjM) to live chat on [our Slack group](https://reddit-bitcoinmarkets.slack.com/)\n* Set your flair to trade pretend money in [the Flair Game](https://coinsight.org/flairgame)\n* Weekly threads: [Newbie Mondays](http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/search?q=newbie+monday&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all) and [Fundamentals Fridays](http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/search?q=fundamentals+friday&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all)\n* Altcoins Discussion: [Altcoin Discussion](http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/search?q=altcoin+discussion&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/', 'iebvi7', [['u/my_alt_account', 15, '2020-08-22 07:25', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/g2eyyz3/', "I'm buying this dip.", 'iebvi7'], ['u/freq-ee', 24, '2020-08-22 07:46', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/iebvi7/daily_discussion_saturday_august_22_2020/g2f2852/', 'I think people lose perspective.

Ideated by former Nexus Mutual and GovBlocks developers, PlotX is challenging the existing prediction market projects with it\'s novel automated and decentralised market making algorithm that allows for on-chain market creation, option pricing, settlement and reward distribution - without the need for any counterparty.\nOn August 4, the first application built on PlotX protocol was launched, allowing users to predict on the markets like "What will be the price of BTC/USDT in the next 1 hour". Apart from the 1 hour markets, 1 day and 1 week markets were also launched. The users with correct predictions earn peer-to-peer rewards.\nIn less than two weeks, over 131 users have placed market predictions using the PlotX dApp, with a strong community forming ahead of September\'s mainnet launch.\nDesigned for attracting high liquidity on event predictions, PlotX has been described as a Uniswap equivalent for prediction markets that taps into the network effects derived from innovations such as automated market making and liquidity mining.\nThe product of intensive open source development, PlotX was originally conceived by Ish Goel, former CTO at Nexus Mutual, Nitika Goel, former Nexus Mutual lead developer, Kartic Rakhra former co-founder at GovBlocks & Satheesh Ananthasubramanian, ex-Cognizant & BORN.\nInspired by the success of Nexus Mutual and GovBlocks, PlotX aims to follow a decentralized and pragmatic approach to governance with the community being involved in all governance decisions such as dispute resolution, addition of new types of markets, vertical expansion etc. Community members will be able to raise proposals and vote, with decisions being implemented automatically via smart contracts, all on the Ethereum blockchain.\nAbout PlotX\nPlotX (dubbed as the Uniswap of Prediction Markets) is a non-custodial protocol written using the Solidity language that can allow predictions for any price feed, with the ability to create markets, settle markets through third-party oracles and distribute rewards peer-to-peer on the Ethereum Blockchain. Markets once initiated are automatically created in intervals of 1h, 1d and 1w.\nThe PlotX smart contracts eradicate the counterparty risk in market creation & settlements. It also aims to solve the liquidity problem that has marred the growth of prediction market protocols in the past. Built on the foundation of strong on-chain governance and risk spread mechanism, PlotX provides an opportunity for users to use their skills in predicting the future value of any asset and develop the protocol to suit their prediction market ideas.\nFounded by former Nexus Mutual & GovBlocks developers, PlotX has the potential to disrupt the prediction market space in the DeFI ecosystem, winning on its simplicity and fun factor.\nFor more information seehttps://www.plotx.io/\nMedia Contact:\nDan [email protected]+972-545-464-238SOURCE: PlotX\nView source version on accesswire.com:https://www.accesswire.com/602890/Former-Nexus-Mutual-CTO-Launches-PlotX--a-Uniswap-for-Prediction-Markets', 'SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2020 / PlotX, a non-custodial prediction market protocol has been launched on the Ethereum Kovan Testnet.

Although the IRS is generally not beginning new audits until after the new July 15 tax filing and payment deadline, you could still be audited after the deadline has passed. Fortunately, your chances of being audited are small — only 0.5% of the tax returns filed in 2017 were audited, according to the latest IRS data. However, that small fraction still amounts to nearly 1 million tax filers getting audited, so it can happen if you’re not careful. So that you’re prepared, these are the red flags the IRSlooks out for when reviewing your tax returns. Last updated: July 2, 2020 “The IRS often identifies red flags through automated computer programs,” said Nate Smith, director in theCBIZ MHMNational Tax Office. “Almost all returns submitted to the IRS are analyzed by a computer program to search for an anomaly or a result that deviates from norms. Under this program, each return is assigned a score, which the IRS calls a ‘DIF’ (Discriminate Function) score. The DIF score is used by the IRS to identify returns for examination.” One factor that would negatively impact a DIF score is a charitable contribution deduction that is disproportionate with your overall amount of income, Smith said. Make sure the income you report matches exactly what it states on your Forms W-2 and 1099. Any mismatches are considered a red flag, Smith said. “The IRS sent around 10,000 letters last July to taxpayers who participated in virtual currency transactions — Bitcoin, etc. — and who did not report gains or losses involving virtual currency,” Smith said. “These letters offer taxpayers participation in a voluntary disclosure program if they find that virtual currency transactions were omitted from prior tax filings.” “The IRS is always on the lookout for both unreported income and high expenses,” said Dave Du Val, chief customer advocacy officer atTaxAudit. “Self-preparers should be cautious of accidental duplication of employee and business expenses, and of taking losses on activities that might be a hobby rather than a business activity.” Make the Right Moves:What Can I Write Off on My Taxes? “The IRS loves to pounce on people who report high itemized deductions,” Du Val said. “It’s fine to claim these legally allowable deductions for your actual qualifying expenses, but make sure you have your documentation on-hand to support your position before you file your tax return.” Du Val notes that 2017 was the last year that unreimbursed employee business expenses were allowed to be deducted on federal returns. “(However), many states — such as California — will still allow the deduction, so it’s still important to hold onto receipts,” he said. “Tax returns with what appears to be inflated rental expenses are frequently caught in the IRS net,” Du Val said. “Some of the deductions on the Schedule E for rental income, where the income and expenses for rentals are reported, can be easily misinterpreted. Those who prepare their own tax returns should take the time to understand the deductions they are claiming. Not knowing the difference between a deductible expense and one that must be capitalized over a number of years could result in a disaster in an audit. This is especially true if you rent a room(s) to a roommate, as ‘common-use’ areas are not allowed as rental areas.” When two people claim the same dependent, the IRS gets involved. “Although separated and divorced parents who have custody have the clear advantage, they still have to prove everything by providing birth certificates, school records and more,” Du Val said. Du Val said that those who file using the head of household filing status are often questioned because the way you categorize dependents with this status can be confusing. “The new tax reform bill has not made the rules any easier to understand; in fact, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there is a new $500 credit for what the IRS calls ‘qualifying relatives’ who are not necessarily people who are even related to you, but who meet certain tests and are not eligible for the child tax credit,” he said. If your expenses are high but the income you are reporting is not, this could be a red flag for the IRS. “For example, a taxpayer who claims a deduction for mortgage interest on a million-dollar mortgage (or the new $750,000 mortgage limit) and personal property taxes on expensive vehicles has a good chance of showing up on the IRS’s radar if their taxable income is not enough to pay these expenses,” Du Val said. A Schedule C for self-employment that reports just the “right ratio” of income and expenses to qualify the taxpayer for a large earned income credit is a red flag, Du Val said. “The available credit is as high as $6,557 for 2019 for a taxpayer whose income is below a certain threshold,” he said. “Taxpayers who claim EIC and whose returns include a Schedule C business form should be prepared to show proof of all expenses, and even income listed on the return.” Be Prepared:These Are the Receipts To Keep for Doing Your Taxes Some people who claim this deduction don’t actually qualify for it. “To be eligible the owner needs to have a contemporaneously written log showing that they have put in a minimum of 250 hours of non-investor type activity hours into the rentals,” Du Val said. “Examples do not include such activities as commuting to the rental, reviewing the records or preparing a tax return. Meeting this requirement does not automatically qualify a taxpayer to be considered a ‘real estate professional’ for tax purposes, or to exclude this income from the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) calculation.” The law requires Americans with foreign financial accounts to report accounts to the U.S. Treasury Department, even if they don’t generate any taxable income. The Bank Secrecy Act requires you to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) if you have financial interest in, signature authority or other authority over one or more accounts in a foreign country and the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year, according to the IRS. Failure to report these accounts could land you in hot water with the IRS. If you don’t disclose overseas accounts, the IRS might find out about them anyway because foreign institutions are required to disclose account holdings by U.S. citizens, CNBC reported. Hopefully being aware of these red flags will prevent you from being audited — but if you do end up hearing from the IRS, here’s what to do to be prepared. To defend yourself during a tax audit, you’ll need documentation to back up what you claimed on your return. The documentation you will need will depend on what it is you’re being audited for but can include receipts, bills, canceled checks, employee documents, legal papers, loan agreements, trip logs, medical or dental records, theft or loss documents, business trip tickets or a Schedule K-1. The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS that protects taxpayer rights and assists with tax-related problems. If you’re audited, you can contact the service for help. Most audits are conducted via correspondence, but if you do need to meet with an auditor in-person, consider hiring an attorney or another advocate to represent you. “The best thing to do if you’re subject to an IRS audit is to hire someone and authorize them to go to the audit,” said Paul Joseph, an attorney, CPA and founder of Joseph & Joseph, LLC. “Never go yourself. In fact, my clients don’t go at all. It is my position that I never let my clients come to an audit because they are expected to know all of the answers immediately. By not having the client attend the audit, they’ll have an opportunity to discuss and fully explain the return with the hired professional prior to giving a response to the IRS.” More From GOBankingRates • 100 Ways To Make Your Money Last Until You’re 100 • Here’s How Much Cash You Need Stashed If an Emergency Happens • 31 Hidden Ways You’re Bleeding Money Every Month • 21 Smartest Ways To Invest Your Money Right Now This article originally appeared onGOBankingRates.com:These Red Flags on Your 2019 Tax Return Could Spark Interest From the IRS... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/A_solo_tripper', '[MegaThread] US IRS Cryptocurrency Letter Of 2020', 28, '2020-08-23 00:42', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ies3la/megathread_us_irs_cryptocurrency_letter_of_2020/', "I just received a letter in the mail from the IRS stating that they are aware that I have crypto, and did not claim it yet.

All you need to be able to do is run a docker container (I run mine on a little VPS from digital ocean).\n\nBenefits:\n\n Totally non-custodial. Funds go directly to you.\n* Uses an xpub key, so every transaction goes to a new address (essential for privacy).\n* No need to share any personal information with anyone (in contrast to hosted solutions like BitPay or CoinGate).\n* No need to run your own full node in order to sell stuff (in contrast to BTCPayServer). Uses [rest.bitcoin.com](https://rest.bitcoin.com) and [blockchain.info](https://blockchain.info) to verify transactions.\n* A checkout link is just a url that looks like [https://yourwebsite/checkout/bitcoin-cash/your-product-code](https://yourwebsite/checkout/bitcoin-cash/your-product-code) . Include it as a link on any website. No need to run any specific CMS or eCommerce platform (e.g. wordpress/woocommerce).\n* Each buyer gets a unique download URL, which will work for a fixed number of downloads of the file.\n\nCurrent Limitations:\n\n* For now, Tortuga only supports selling digital files. There\'s no support for handling other types of products or services.\n* For now, orders are limited to a single product/file/download. Largely because that\'s all I needed for myself at the moment.\n\nSupported cryptocurrencies:\n\n* Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is supported natively.\n* Nano (NANO/XRB) is supported via BrainBlocks.\n* Monero (XMR) is in the works and coming soon.\n* Possibly BTC and DASH in the future.\n\nYou can read more about it at [https://github.com/unyieldinggrace/tortuga](https://github.com/unyieldinggrace/tortuga)\n\nThe deployment instructions on the github page should be sufficient for technical users. I\'ll try to make time to write a step-by-step setup tutorial on [read.cash](https://read.cash) at some stage (or if someone else wants to do it, that might be a good way to score tips!).\n\nMotivation:\n\nI made this payment gateway for idealistic reasons. I wrote a book called Taxation is Slavery: The Biblical Case for Libertarian Politics. Among many other things, this book argues that fiat money-printing is a form of immoral counterfeiting, and that we should attempt to secede from the fiat power structures by using cryptocurrency. To live that out, I was determined to find a way to sell the book directly to readers, completely peer-to-peer. In this way, I\'m helping to "close the loop". I\'m giving people something good to spend their (crypto) money on, without either them or me ever having to convert it to fiat.\n\nThe book also includes a brief sub-chapter on how the very existence of Bitcoin should force many Christians to re-evaluate the way they understand Jesus\' statement about "giving to Ceasar what is Caesar\'s". Bitcoin has no president or king\'s face on it. There is no engraving of any Caesar. Thinking this through might be of interest to many Bitcoin fans :)\n\nReady to see it in action?\n\nYou can test out the payment gateway by seeing how I use it on my own site.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slipped by 0.17% on Sunday. Following a 1.37% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 2.19% to $11,663.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $11,709.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,787, Bitcoin slid to a late morning intraday low $11,538.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,465, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $11,736. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,787, Bitcoin fell back to $11,650 levels before finding support. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday. Litecoin and Stellar’s Lumen rose by 0.53% and by 0.60% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Cardano’s ADA (-3.17%), Monero’s XMR (-3.73%) and Tron’s TRX (-3.52%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-1.71%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.12%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.57%), EOS (-1.36%), Ethereum (-1.23%), and Tezos (-1.85%) also struggled. Ripple’s XRP (-0.42%) saw modest losses on the day. For the week, it was a bearish for the majors, however. Tezos (-17.18%), EOS (-14.44%), Tron’s TRX (-13.82%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-13.10%), Cardano’s ADA (-12.59%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-10.86%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-7.18%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-6.49%), Ethereum (-9.92%), Litecoin (-5.22%), and Ripple’s XRP (-6.52%) also struggled. Monero’s XMR fell by just 0.22%, however. In the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $384.00bn before sliding to a Saturday low $338.58bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $349.94bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.97% before rising to a Wednesday high 62.00%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.41%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.31% to $11,627.3. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,667 to a low $11,605.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down by 1.46% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $11,646 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,753. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out Sunday’s high $11,736.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,844 before any pullback. Failure to move through the $11,646 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,555 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,500 and the second major support level at $11,448. In the event of an extended sell-off, Bitcoin could test the third major support level at $11,250 before any recovery.

The move to trial comes after the legal team for the estate of David Kleiman, Wright’s deceased former business partner, was denied an omnibus motion filed in May attempting to sanction Wright over his alleged misbehavior. “According to Plaintiffs [Ira Kleimanet al.], throughout the litigation Defendant [Craig Wright] has engaged in a sustained pattern of perjury, forged evidence, misleading filings and obstruction,” according to acourt orderfiled Wednesday.

In response to Kleiman’s omnibus motion, Wright had responded with his own motion citing an expert witness, a psychologist who had diagnosed him with autism.

Ami Klin, a licensed clinical psychologist who has studied Autism Spectrum Disorder for more than 35 years, … will testify that he has diagnosed Dr. Wright with Autism Spectrum Disorder with high intellectual skills,” Wright’s response,hosted by court listener, says. Judge Bloom commented that “[A]s Plaintiffs note, Defendant’s testimony has been glaringly inconsistent at numerous junctures. Defendant, however, stresses that he has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, and thus his testimony needs to be evaluated in that light.” Citing the need to meet a “clear and convincing evidence standard,” Bloom said “Plaintiffs have not carried their burden to show that default sanctions are appropriate.” The court had previously threatened to sanction Wright if he did not produce a list of his bitcoin holdings. However, the judge said he has since “purportedly” done so.

The ongoing Kleiman court case revolves around the ownership of a 1.1 millionbitcoin fortuneworth an estimated $10.2 billion that he has claimed is locked up in an encrypted trust. The trove of bitcoin was allegedly mined by Wright with Kleiman in the early days of bitcoin.

He is an organizing member of theEthereal Summit and Sessions, host ofThe Ethereal Podcastand a weekly contributor toThe DefiantandBankless. Ethereum has always been difficult to explain. Even the founders of Ethereum have sometimes struggled to communicate the project’s transformative potential in layperson’s terms. Metaphors such as “world computer” and “gas” tried to translate Ethereum to the world, but looking back it’s clear how little we understood about the platform’s true capabilities. By 2017, big promises were being made that Ethereum would “bank the unbanked.” But that promise seemed to go largely unfulfilled in the wake of the initial coin offering (ICO) craze. Nevertheless, the oft-repeated slogan represented the first attempt to describe Ethereum’s potential to transform personal finance. Related:Huobi Hires Former Banking Giant Executive to Lead New DeFi Fund See also:Ethereum History in 5 Charts While the ICO mania showed Ethereum’s potential as a distributive technology that could emulate, improve upon and democratize the initial stock offering, what was missing then was a simple personal financial use case that could be demonstrated to a friend, such as a mobile app. In those early days, there were many white papers, promises and signs of progress by a few teams (some of which have led to the top DeFi projects such as ChainLink, Kyber, and Set), but most of the benefits had yet to be delivered. Meanwhile, there were lots of inspiring speakers from the Ethereum community who drew us into believing Ethereum would change the world. It just required a patient newcomer willing to wade through new ideas, intricate foreign concepts and a firehose of new information daily. Nothing was a simple elevator pitch. When I saw Joe Lubin speak at Ethereal SF 2017, there was an inspiring message to take home. A lot of detail flew over my head at the time, but if you listened carefully it was impossible to not buy the idea that Ethereum could change the world for the better. Related: It’s worth noting that in 2017, ConsenSys and other early adopters and builders were also educating institutional players and enterprise software companies on how they could benefit from many blockchain use cases on Ethereum. Partnerships with Microsoft, IBM and Hyperledger helped cement Ethereum’s credibility in the enterprise blockchain race. See also:How the EEA Made Ethereum Palatable to Big Business Fast forward to July 2018, when I started full-time work in Ethereum. We were all recovering from the hangover of 2017, thinking the bull run might return sooner before watching markets unravel and get even bloodier. We were emerging from an era without a coherent elevator pitch to be easily understood, including language that sounded like it had come from a “Big Bang Theory” script. I recognized that Ethereum had to find any small group of fanatical users. For better or worse, I began drawing on my experience in SaaS, which taught me that startups need loyal users who find so much utility in an application that, if it were taken away, they wouldn’t have an alternative. By spring 2019, I am working full time on theEthereal Summit, a series of events celebrating the founders and builders of the decentralized web on Ethereum. It was around then that Ethereum’s narrative began to change. I heard about Compound, where you can lend and borrow – similar to MakerDAO, but with better loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. I was astonished – $50 MILLION in an app built on Ethereum! It was exhilarating to learn a second finance application had been built, launched and had been running on Ethereum for more than six months. All this activity came to be known as decentralized finance, or DeFi. The term was coined in 2018 by members of the 0x team, but the industry was just getting going. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I began researching every project we were hosting at Ethereal –PoolTogether,KyberArgentandZerion. And I did something even more radical: I began testing and using the damn products! See also:Why DeFi on Ethereum Is Like Algorithmic Trading in the ‘90s I needed to see my investment make money to realize the power of these DeFi applications. I started lendingdaion Compound for over 10% APY and it just clicked. I’m lending dai and others borrow that money, but there’s no bank to collect the middleman fees. So, in turn, I earn better lending interest and borrowers pay smaller fees, and without know your customer (KYC) or anyone’s permission. What stood in the way of DeFi mass adoption was better storytelling and more visual demonstration of how DeFi can work for anyone It had long been a talking point in crypto the user experience (UX) had to improve for Ethereum to see adoption, but I found those same people espousing such criticisms often had zero experience with DeFi applications. It seemed like a lie that had stuck around long enough to become a truth, even though I was finding some DeFi UX better than my experience with legacy banking. For me, what stood in the way of DeFi mass adoption was better storytelling and more visual demonstration of how DeFi can work for anyone.EthHub.ioand Cami Russo’sThe Defiantwere already doing lots of legwork in this space but there was clearly more to build upon. In late 2019, the DeFi community was still small compared to today, only a few thousand or possibly even a few hundred users, but it felt like we were on a bustling rocket ship of excitement. We rallied around this term DeFi, the simplest term to describe any peer-to-peer finance app built on Ethereum, requiring a Web 3 wallet like MetaMask, that doesn’t need KYC and has no single point of failure. IfETHis money, DeFi is your bank. What started as a concept is now an economy of interlinked applications with more than $4 billion in value invested. But it’s more than just money. DeFi has changed the way people think about Ethereum itself and given rise to new narratives and memes. Shortly after this spark was really gaining momentum in the fall 2019, DeFi users naturally found a second totem to rally around. That was the concept of Total Value Locked (TLV), coined by the team atDeFi Pulse. TVL refers to the sum of all value deposited into a DeFi app’s smart contracts, whether that’s measured in U.S. dollars (USD) or in ETH. TVL reflected a new, un-gameable metric for adoption. It was a way to compare how much trust DeFi users put into an application. It has its flaws, but those flaws are no worse than reducing Bitcoin to its price. See also: Nathaniel Whittemore –‘Stacking Sats’ vs. ‘ETH Is Money’ – The Memes That Shaped 2019 DeFi also helped solidify the “ETH is money” meme. As co-host of the Bankless Podcast David Hoffman said,ETH is a triple-point asset,because it acts as a store-of-value, a capital asset, and a consumable asset. “ETH is Money” is an intentional pivot from “ETH is gas,” and updates the world on how ETH is actually used on Ethereum. Plain and simple: ETH is money. It always has been money and to label it otherwise was a product marketing mistake in the early days of Ethereum. Yield farming is the latest viral meme in Ethereum. DeFi is a larger all-encompassing category of p2p, self-custody, KYC-less, finance apps built on Ethereum, but yield farming describes a popular incentives program where you often provide liquidity to a DeFi application in exchange for a combination of rewards. As Dan Elitzer of IDEO CoLab Ventures put it,yield farming is like aquaponicsbecause it creates a symbiotic relationship between DeFi protocols, meaning DeFi participants can earn three or more forms of yield such as interest, market-making fees and pooled rewards such as a governance token like BAL or COMP. Because of the most composable incentive designs in DeFi, yield farming (aka “liquidity mining”) is like passive income on steroids, with programs delivering anywhere from 10-200% daily APY on average. Five years ago, you could argue Ethereum was attempting to do too much. Even two to three years ago, that was still a valid hypothesis, with stagnant adoption. Today, the bold experiment of Ethereum is working. Alongside the $4 billion in assets deposited into DeFi, we’ve seen a 227% year-on-year increase in ETH locked in DeFi, and a 20X increase in tokenizedBTCon Ethereum (equivalent to ~$220 million) since January 1. See also:One Billion, Two Billion, Three Billion, Four? DeFi’s Knocking on TradFi’s Door What was a drawback – doing “too much” – is now a strength and a reason why Ethereum’s daily transaction volume and daily network fees have eclipsed Bitcoin’s. Although Ethereum is less than half Bitcoin’s age, it has accomplished more in the last five years, building the most advanced permissionless p2p finance system in the world while Bitcoin has continued to champion the narrower digital gold meme. It’s getting easier every day to point to DeFi apps that clearly demonstrate value and utility you cannot find elsewhere. If you’ve managed to ignore these developments, now is as good a time as ever to catch yourself up. The story of DeFi and Ethereum is just getting started. • Five Years In, DeFi Now Defines Ethereum • Five Years In, DeFi Now Defines Ethereum... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

It’s not decentralized. Companies are seeing it as just another way to do their mainframe applications.

But we are not only targeting 20 or 40 businesses,” said Issembert. “We are focused on the next generation of commerce, the new unicorns; firms that you don’t have to convince the best approach is an open system.”\nIt should be pointed out that Volvo has blazed a trail when it comes totracking the minerals used in electric car batterieswith the help of Hyperledger Fabric.

(In terms of new entrants to the enterprise blockchain space, there have also beensome interesting moves from the EOS ecosystem, particularly in Latin America.)\n“It could be smart contracts, which actually will function as marketplaces for you and your whole procurement sector,” said Fønss Schrøder. “I think about what Maersk has been doing, but the disadvantage for Maersk is that this should never have been built on a permission-based blockchain; it should have been permissionless. But that’s the kind of logistical use case I’m sure we will be able to support.”\nVolvo board member Fønss Schrøder also sees plenty of uses for open blockchains in the car industry, across secondary markets, for instance, and the service agreements that come with that.\n“Nearly every car sold by Volvo has some kind of lease arrangement or car-care, and blockchain is well suited to support this on the insurance side and on the service side,” said Fønss Schrøder.\nAs far as the ZKP secret sauce, Issembert called this the “backbone of the network,” but could not disclose details.\n“For the ZKP design approach, we are going to come to the market with our own solution.

Twitter on Wednesday said it has fixed a vulnerability in the Android app that for some users "could allow an attacker, through a malicious app installed on your device, to access private Twitter data on your device (like direct messages), by working around Android system permissions that protect against this." This was "related to an underlying Android OS security issue" on Android OS versions 8 and 9, the company said. Twitter said it believes 96 percent of Android users have a patch protecting them from the vulnerability, and it doesn't have evidence that attackers actually exploited the flaw, but the company adds it "can't be completely sure" of that. It's sending notifications to the users who may have been affected, requiring them to update the Android app, and promising to identify "changes to our processes to better guard against issues like this." This disclosure from Twitter comes after the company last month grappled with a massive hack, in which high-profile accounts including those belonging to former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden were taken over to promote a Bitcoin scam. The company said that 130 accounts were targeted, and the attackers accessed direct messages on "up to 36" of them, including that of an elected official in the Netherlands.

During this meeting, the alleged hacker made an inducement of $1 million in cash or Bitcoin to the employee, raising the amount from a proposed $500,000 earlier during their discussions at the bar.\nOn August 19, the employee wearing a listening device from the FBI met with Kriuchkov, who offered him a $11,000 advance. The alleged hacker then told the Gigafactory worker that the project was delayed and related payments would be made at a later time as well. The FBI in the meantime got in touch with Kriuchkov, who attempted to leave the United States and was arrested on Aug. 22 in Los Angeles, the prosecutors said.\nWhy It Matters:The Russian and his co-conspirators planned to hold the target company forransomand reveal the data they obtained through illegal means, according to the complaint.Musk said the employee\'s efforts in helping thwart the hack attempt were "much appreciated."\nLast month, a “spear-phishing” attack onTwitter Inc’s(NYSE:TWTR) was said to be responsible for the compromise of several high-profile social media accounts on that platform including that of Musk and former President Barack Obama.\nPrice Action:Tesla shares closed nearly 4% higher at 2,238.75 on Thursday and gained 0.37% in the after-hours session.\nPhoto Courtesy: Steve Jurvetson on Flickr.\nSee more from Benzinga\n• EV Maker Rivian Taps Former Tesla Exec As Top Engineer, Despite Employee Poaching Lawsuit\n• Nikola CEO Says He\'s Giving Away 3M Worth Of Personal Shares To Employees\n• Musk Says Tesla\'s Battery Capacity Could Almost Double In Three To Four Years\n© 2020 Benzinga.com.

And as of July 9, the stock just tagged the moon above $133, for over 25% gains this month alone. Apparently (some of) the blind have begun to see. Meanwhile, UBS and BofA offered downgrades to "Sell" and "Underperform" in May after the company's latest quarterly report when shares had just gotten back above $70. And I think yesterday, a Cowen analyst made a much more timely downgrade after SQ's "200% rally" from the Coronavirus Crash lows. Lowering their rating to Market Perform from Outperform, they also thought they should raise their price target from $79 to something a little more respectable like $119. Obviously I have a personal story here. In the first quarter of 2018, I became a huge Square fan after I fully grasped the ecosystem they were building for small business to get stuff done seamlessly and effortlessly. Honestly, I may not have noticed but for my wife who was using the Square app for her various farmer's markets and craft fairs where she sold everything from home-made goat's milk soap to fresh crepes made with eggs and veges from our small hobby farm. We actually had the chance to buy some SQ shares before the IPO in late 2015 -- another genius idea from Jack Dorsey to give customers the first crack at shares near $10 -- and we sold them for pocket change as the stock did little in 2016. So I get the first "Stupid Award" for not grasping the potential of this evolving fintech ecosystem. But in early 2018, I told my TAZR Trader group that "this Square thing" was a potential FinTech revolution to be reckoned with, especially as Blockchain/Bitcoin mania was in the air. We were buyers of SQ in the $42-45 range and I thought we could set-it-and-forget-it for a double in the next 2 years. Story continues And still, most analysts didn't see or care about Square's disruption potential. Unfortunately, I listened to them and sold our shares for small gains of 20% or less. Then, of course, SQ went to $100 in mid 2018. So, I also get the second "Stupid Award" as I missed the first SQ kiss of $100. But I attempted to redeem my ways in early 2019 with this call... Square is the Apple of FinTech By this comparison, I wasn't implying that the Square credit card swiping device was going to rival the iPhone in terms of sales. The idea was more about getting people into the ecosystem where they would likely never leave because built-in accounting software, cash-flow and sales tools, and friendly loans based on your growth were just what the small business person always needed. And I was emboldened in this view by two voices. The first was the stand-out bull on Square, Dan Dolev of Nomura Instinet. Dolev was tracking downloads of payments apps to compare growth between Square's Cash App and PayPal 's (PYPL) Venmo. In January of 2019, he found that the gap between downloads grew to 4.2 million, favoring Cash App. His data showed that Square's Cash App had 45.3 million cumulative downloads, topping 41.2 million for Venmo. Dolev then modeled his expectations that the current revenue of $3 per user would continue to expand and projected that the Cash App could contribute nearly $100 million in adjusted revenue for Square by 2020. At the time, he reiterated his $110 price target on Square. Made sense to me. But the second voice didn't just make sense -- it was golden enough to make headlines. Here was my report on February 26, 2019... Square On Deck, and on Jamie's Mind SQ reports Wednesday after the close if you are not ready to face the prospect of slowing growth, you should exit beforehand. I'll be riding into the unknown to see if they keep delivering and the stock breaks out above $80. Someone else wishes he were riding the disruptive wave of "FinTech" too. And that would be one CEO of a little bank called JPMorgan. Here was the excellent story today in American Banker... JPMorgan's Dimon: Square innovated where we should have By Andy Peters February 26 2019, 4:54pm EST Jamie Dimon confessed on Tuesday to having a little bit of Square envy. During JPMorgan Chase’s yearly investor day in New York, the bank’s chairman and CEO was asked what companies could get steamrolled by his bank, which has emerged as a financial-services disruptor. JPMorgan is investing billions of dollars per year in technology and recently rolled out its own online-only bank, dubbed Finn, and is set to become the first U.S. bank to launch its cryptocurrency. But rather than answer that question directly, Dimon responded by praising a company, Square, that has done things he wishes JPMorgan Chase had done. “They came up with this little dongle to process stuff and it was a great idea,” Dimon said. Square then built off the success of its card-reader to provide other services to its business customers, such as wider variety of point-of-sale systems that allow merchants to accept cash or card payments. It also provides merchants with tablets and software that allows them to track sales patterns, inventory and other important data. “We didn’t give them that opportunity, Square did," Dimon said. Finally, Dimon lamented that Square beat JPMorgan to the punch in making online loans to small businesses. Square Capital, its online lending arm, began offering business loans in early 2014 — nearly two years before JPMorgan began making its own digital small-business loans via a partnership with fintech lender OnDeck Capital. Square "said, 'you know what, since we know this company and they might need an advance this time of the year, we might advance them $10,000 or $15,000 or $100,000,'” Dimon said. “They did all this stuff we could have done that we didn’t do.” (end of excerpt from American Banker article by Andy Peters) Click the article link above to find out more about what's on Jamie's mind concerning a "$40 trillion investments market." Fear That "Anyone Can Copy Square" As clear as Dimon's confession sounded, very few were truly listening between the lines. They must have thought he meant "Oh sure, Square got there first. But we'll catch up." But I think what his admission really meant was "This thing is going to be a monster at attracting and keeping new small business!" Here was typical analyst call that I profiled in May of 2019... Some say the Square has hit peak growth. The team at SunTrust, for instance... Square price target lowered to $65 from $75 at SunTrust: Analyst Andrew Jeffrey lowered his price target on Square to $65 to reflect its below-consensus Q2 guidance, saying that while he is positive on the company's above-average organic revenue and EBITDA growth, a "significant deceleration" may be coming. The analyst cites "robust competition in new vertical markets" that will demand Square to boost its investment levels on a structural basis and also warns that margin growth may slow as the company goes after larger retailer customers. Jeffrey kept his Hold rating on Square. And in a special report I wrote for my TAZR group titled "The Apple of FinTech" on 5/2/19 -- the day after what appeared to be another disappointing quarterly report and growth outlook -- I looked at all the worries about competition from established payments giants who were busy getting bigger with M&A... BTIG analyst Mark Palmer reiterated his "Sell" recommendation on Square this week, and other investors apparently agree as shares are down nearly 10% again. He believes that Square faces tougher competition as it vies for larger customers. Palmer points to the company's challenges in growing its total addressable market. Its initial market of "micro-merchants" is limited he thinks, so as it seeks to increase its customer base by appealing to larger sellers, Square naturally faces more competition. That's shown up in Square's Q1 gross payment volume (GPV), which fell short of Palmer's estimate, and weaker-than-expected Q2 adjusted EPS guidance. "We believe SQ’s GPV deceleration and its unusual quarterly guidance miss may indicate that competition among larger merchants may be becoming more of a headwind for the company," the analyst told investors in research note. He specifically pointed to competition from First Data, PayPal and Shopify, as well as big banks. Now, I'll admit I was emboldened when Jamie Dimon openly revealed his admiration and envy for the Square model and accomplishments in February at their Investor Day. I thought his comments knighted the brand as doing what no one else was doing. Not First Data, not PayPal -- and if Shopify wants to build their own FinTech for their merchants, it would be hard pressed to have the capabilities of Square. I didn't believe he granted Square an impenetrable moat. But he recognized how quickly the company evolved beyond a mere disruptive piece of hardware and software to an entire ecosystem of small business-friendly tools and services. Apparently, according to some analysts, the competition can race in now that the field has been plowed. But I have long believed that Square's brand and vision would capture most of that new business. And if Jack Dorsey's people aren't talking to Amazon, Ebay, Shopify, Instagram and Etsy about making their merchants lives easier, I would be very surprised. That was the big vision... that Square could become a new type of bank that captured the loyalty of the small business person with personalization, transparency, and FinTech power tools. Even in light of the big FinTech mega-mergers we've discussed here, I thought that any of these nameless, faceless old-line payment processors would want and need the Square brand to put a human face on their FinTech. Our old-line TSYS (TSS) is trying to adapt to the new world of mobile, on-demand, seamless transactions and that's why we own it.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.78% on Friday. Reversing a 1.12% decline from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,545.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning intraday low $11,303.0 to a mid-afternoon intraday high $11,567.0. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin came within range of the first major resistance level at $11,586. A late afternoon pullback saw Bitcoin fall to sub-$11,500 levels before a final hour move back through to $11,500 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Friday. Binance Coin slipped by 0.13% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Monero’s XMR and EOS rallied by 5.92% and by 4.63% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.42%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.01%), Ethereum (+3.18%), Litecoin (+2.28%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.59%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.01%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.80%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.55%) and Tezos (+1.52%) trailed the front runners on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $360.52bn before falling to a Tuesday low $329.92bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $346.76bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.80% before rising to a Tuesday high 62.13%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.33%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.19% to $11,523.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,555.0 to a low $11,483.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.36%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.18%), Litecoin (+0.10%), Monero’s XMR (+0.19%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.62%) found early support. Story continues It was bearish for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down by 0.68% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,472 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,640. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,600 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,700 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $11,736. A fall through the $11,472 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,376 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,000 levels. The second major support level at $11,208 should limit any downside.

Trezor isn’t secure, only Coldcard is truly safe. Web wallets are terribly insecure because your private key is exposed, airgapped is the only way to go. And now I’m learning trusting a wallet to send a receive bitcoin is irresponsible and dangerous and you should only ever use Bitcoin with your own full node.\n\nMy plan was to buy Bitcoin on an exchange, transfer it to a hardware wallet, protect the hell out of my seed phrase, and HODL for life. Can anyone give me advice on what I should and shouldn’t be doing in that process?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/iihjha/running_a_full_node/', 'iihjha', [['u/bitusher', 21, '2020-08-29 01:12', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/iihjha/running_a_full_node/g36r3ib/', '>Is it worth running my own full node?\n\nAbsolutely!\n\nHere is why --\n\nRunning software that fully validates all the rules like - https://btcinformation.org/en/wallets/desktop/windows/bitcoincore/\n\nArchival full nodes contain the full blockchain and allow new nodes to bootstrap from them . Current blockchain size is ~300GB for an archival node\n\nPruned nodes can get down to around 5GB , and have all the same security and privacy benefits of archival nodes but need to initially download the whole blockchain for full validation before deleting it (It actually prunes as it validates)\n\nYou are only truly p2p if you are running a full node . running light clients depend upon you trusting a middleman and typically only validate block headers. Light clients are exposed to many more threats full nodes are not. There are also privacy concerns with light clients that full nodes are secure against. The whitepaper only suggests SPV "light" nodes in the context of fraud alerts(proofs) existing but thus far none exist and therefore you shouldn\'t trust large amounts of btc with a light client.\n\nThe most secure , "active" wallet would be a hardware wallet integrated with a full node . One way to do this easily is to run your own electrum server https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JMP4NZCC5g and than integrate electrum wallet with your HW wallet and connect to your electrum server. A new solution is Blockstream green which works with ledger , trezor one , and trezor model T https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkQ_LXEuSVg\n\nThere are close to 43k full nodes on the bitcoin network .(Some sites show much lower numbers because they exclude most non listening full nodes. )\n\nHere is the stats – \n\nhttp://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html\n\nhttp://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/services.html\n\nHere are all the rules that full nodes validate that light clients almost completely skip-\n\nhttps://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules\n\nThin client / Psuedo SPV weaknesses\nThis is not an exhaustive list and there are many more concerns than this -\n\n1.\tAs we saw in 2017 year Garzik and segwit2x supporters were deliberately attempting to undermine pseudo-SPV nodes/light clients by imposing rule changes that users did not necessarily agree to or where even aware of . Full nodes were immune to this attack vector. light clients would simply follow the most worked chain even if they disagreed with these changes and would also lose out on their ability to claim both sides of the split thus also losing money. \n\n2.\tlight clients fail in privacy for many reasons . They are using a backend server to show you your wallet balances. This immediately links together all your wallet addresses to them. Bloom filtering SPV wallets like Bread wallet, AirBitz are however different, they don’t use a backend server, rather they are leaking information to every blockchain analysis company, who are crawling the Bitcoin network for their bloom filters. \n\n3.\tLight clients fail to validate most of these security rules https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules and therefore must trust a middleman or third party and thus can essentially be manipulated by this company and a multisig of large miners unlike full nodes. This is no longer p2p cash by definition. If you are running a full node it doesn\'t matter if 100% of the miners try and subvert the rules you agree to , they cannot force you to accept blocks or changes you don\'t agree to . It is absolutely critical we enforce and respect the rights of individual bitcoin users.\n\n4.\tVarious sybil attacks can be used in conjunction with lie by omission and say that a block isn\'t there when it actually is--a sort of denial of service attack. \n\nFurther reading on light client security assumptions -\n\n\nhttps://bitcoinj.github.io/security-model\n\nhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.00916.pdf\n\nhttps://bitslog.wordpress.com/2018/06/09/leaf-node-weakness-in-bitcoin-merkle-tree-design/\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16148&v=UVuUZm4l-ss (Peter Todd sends himself 21 million BTC with a thin client)\n\nhttp://www.truthcoin.info/blog/fraud-proofs/', 'iihjha'], ['u/Xanaxtastrophy', 14, '2020-08-29 01:30', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/iihjha/running_a_full_node/g36sz1e/', 'Jesus Fucking Christ I have so much to learn.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.46% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 1.78% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,492.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $11,483.0 before rising to a late morning intraday high $11,606.3. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,640, Bitcoin slid to a late morning intraday low $11,450.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,376, Bitcoin moved back through to $11,500 levels. A bearish end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin slip back to sub-$11,500 levels and into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday. Binance Coin (-0.61%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.47%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.78%), Litecoin (-0.71%), and Monero’s XMR (-2.06%) joined Bitcoin in the red. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA rallied by 6.34% to lead the way. EOS (+0.27%), Ethereum (+0.82%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.80%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.59%), Tezos (+2.65%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.22%) also made gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $360.52bn before falling to a Tuesday low $329.92bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $351.97bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Tuesday high 62.13% before falling to a Saturday low 60.69%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.01%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.36% to $11,648.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $11,480.0 to a high $11,668.4. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,582 early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day. Story continues At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was up by 5.15% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through to sub-$11,600 levels to support a run at the second major resistance level at $11,672. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $11,668.4. Barring an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,700 before any pullback. The third major resistance level sits at $11,829. A fall back through to sub-$11,600 levels and the $11,516 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,426 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,400 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $11,360.

On Thursday, the ISM Non-manufacturing PMI and weekly jobless claims figures will be key drivers. The focus will then shift to August’s non-farm payrolls and unemployment figures. Any weak numbers and expect risk aversion to sweep across the markets. The Dollar Spot Index ended the week down by 0.94% to 92.371. For the EUR : It’s a busy week ahead on the economic data front. On Tuesday, August manufacturing PMIs for Italy and Spain, and German unemployment figures are due out. Finalized PMIs for France, Germany, and the Eurozone will also draw attention. The focus will then shift to July retail sales figures for Germany on Wednesday, ahead of a busy Thursday. August’s service sector PMIs for Italy and Spain and finalized PMIs for France, Germany, and the Eurozone will also be of interest. Expect the Eurozone’s services and composite PMIs to be the key drivers, however. At the end of the week, German factory order numbers for July will also influence. Expect unemployment and retail sales figures for the Eurozone and prelim August inflation figures for member states to have a muted impact. The EUR/USD ended the week up by 0.90% to $1.1903. For the Pound: It’s a relatively quiet week ahead on the economic calendar . Finalized private sector PMIs for August are in focus in the week. Story continues Any revisions to the prelim figures need to be considered. Expect the services PMI to have the greatest influence in the week. On Friday, August’s BTC Retail Sales Monitor will also draw interest. From the Bank of England, BoE Gov. Bailey is scheduled to speak late on Thursday. The GBP/USD ended the week up by 2.00% to $1.3352. For the Loonie: It’s a busy week ahead on the economic calendar . In the early part of the week, July’s RMPI will influence on Monday. The focus will then shift to July trade figures on Thursday and August’s employment and Ivey PMI numbers on Friday. We would expect August’s employment change figure to have the greatest significance. The Loonie ended the week up by 0.59% to C$1.3099 against the U.S Dollar. Out of Asia For the Aussie Dollar: It’s a busy week ahead on the economic calendar. Early in the week, 2 nd quarter company gross operating profits, July private sector credit, and the AIG Manufacturing Index are in focus. The focus will then shift to 2 nd quarter GDP numbers on Wednesday. Finally, July trade data on Thursday and retail sales figures on Friday will also draw plenty of attention. On the economic data front, expect the GDP and retail sales figures to be the key drivers. The RBA has continued to raise uncertainty regarding consumption, which it sees as key to any economic recovery. On the monetary policy front, the RBA is also in action on Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9228.33, 9123.41, 9087.30, 9132.49, 9073.94, 9375.47, 9252.28, 9428.33, 9277.97, 9278.81, 9240.35, 9276.50, 9243.61, 9243.21, 9192.84, 9132.23, 9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Musk, Obama, Biden Targeted:The tweets from Musk's account said he would double any bitcoin payments sent to a published Bitcoin address. They have since been deleted. "You know I living giving back to my community," one tweet from Musk said. "I'm doubling all BTC payments sent to my address. You send $1,000 and I will send $2,000 back!" After sharing the bitcoin address, the tweet said: "Tell your family & friends! Only going on for 30 minutes." The bitcoin address used in Musk's tweet has been used for 272 transactions at last check,according to Blockchain.com. The hacks began at about 3 p.m. Wednesday,according to CNBC, and were ongoing at the time of publication, with rapper Kanye West, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama among the latest targets. "We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly," Twitter's support account tweeted at 5:45 p.m. Twitter shares were down 4.23% at $34.16 in Wednesday's after-hours session. Musk Targeted By Twitter Impersonators Before:Twitter often has problems with Musk impersonators responding to the CEO's tweets claiming bitcoin giveaways and other scams. But this apparent scam comes directly from Musk's verified account. Musk has posted tweets about the cryptocurrency Dogecoin in the past. Benzinga's Take:Musk has complained about Twitter's ability to control bots in the past. Now it appears hackers have gained access to Musk's account and are flooding Twitter with scam tweets. You should never send money to anyone in this manner over the internet, even when it comes from a verified account, as it is almost always a scam. Dustin Blitchok contributed to this report.

I don\'t think that\'s in any way unethical or against the spirit of flipstarter as long as you still feel obligated to the same extent to fulfill your part of the agreement. Doesn\'t really matter who funds it, even if part of the funding is contributed by the owner of the project himself (in form of money or work doesn\'t matter, boils down to the same thing), does it?\n\nAnother comparison to use in order to understand why partly self-funding a flipstarter is not illegitimate is to look at it like a negotiation. The contributors successfully negotiated the price down by something like 35% (guesstimeate, too lazy to calc). Had you self-funded that part it would mean that the agreement still made sense to you even at that lower price. The contributors would still get what they paid for: your commitment.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 2.07% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.46% decline Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 0.57% to $11,730.0. It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rallied from an early morning intraday low $11,480.0 to a late afternoon high $11,721.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,582 and the second major resistance level at $11,672. Late in the day, Bitcoin fell back to $11,620 levels before breaking back through the second major resistance level at $11,672. The late recovery saw Bitcoin strike an intraday high $11,730 in the final hour. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day for the majors on Sunday. Ethereum (+7.62%), Litecoin (+10.45%), and Tron’s TRX (+8.65%) led the way. Binance Coin (+2.87%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.25%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.32%), EOS (+4.20%), Monero’s XMR (+3.86%), and Ripple’s XRP (+3.28%) also made solid gains. Cardano’s ADA (+0.96%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.01%), and Tezos (+1.13%) trailed the front runners. For the week, it was a mixed bag for the majors, however. Binance Coin (+8.00%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.11%), Ethereum (+9.73%), Litecoin (+3.76%), Monero’s XMR (+6.38%), and Tron’s TRX (+11.05%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.78%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.48%), EOS (-1.92%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.62%), Stellar’s Lumen (-4.55%), and Tezos (-3.75%) saw red. In the week, the crypto total market fell to a Thursday low $329.40bn before rising to a Sunday high $359.74bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $357.31bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 62.28% before falling to a Sunday low 60.17%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.54%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.04% to $11,735.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $11,713.0 before striking a high $11,744.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.77%), EOS (-0.24%), and Ethereum (-0.71%) saw red early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors. At the time of writing, Tezos was up by 0.73% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,647 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,813. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from this morning’s high $11,744.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $11,897 and resistance at $12,000 would likely be tested. A fall through the $11,647 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,563 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,500 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $11,397.

Indeed, while the U.S. Dollar Index, a measure of the greenback’s strength versus a basket of other fiat currencies, is up 0.52% Friday, it’s still at lows not seen since June 2018. In the bitcoin options market, Neil Van Huis, director of sales and institutional trading at liquidity provider Blockfills, noted volatility decreased this week. Bitcoin’s at-the-money implied volatility, which is a metric to forecast movement in prices, has dropped from 71% Monday to 59% Friday. “Looks like some normalization of volatile trading as of late,” Van Huis said. Opportunities in Ethereum-powered DeFi are taking some traders’ focus away from the bitcoin market, Kugelbrg told CoinDesk. “The crypto community is in a total FOMO to DeFi-related altcoins,” said Kugelberg. “I believe the run-up for bitcoin may be slower than expected and fueled by retail sales to newcomers wanting a somewhat steadier haven.” Related: Ether Volatility Now Highest in Six Months Compared With Bitcoin’s Read More: Barstool’s Dave Portnoy Is Bad at Trading Cryptocurrency Ether options market bearish Ether (ETH) was down Friday, trading around $399 and slipping 3.8% in 24 hours as of 20:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

The lesson I took from that country’s repeated financial meltdowns is that any fiat monetary system requires a bedrock of trust in the nation’s governing institutions. When people don’t trust their government, the system is always prone to collapse. It wasn’t until I discoveredbitcoin, four years after my 2009 departure from Buenos Aires, that I understood this clearly. I’d been well aware of Argentines’ lack of trust in government – the local commentariat endlessly talked of their leaders’ corruption. But only after learning of how bitcoin’s decentralized cryptographic protocol allowed users to transactwithouthaving to trust centralized intermediaries did I see the connection between that trust deficit and Argentina’s financial dysfunction. Related:The Fourth Era of Blockchain Governance You’re readingMoney Reimagined, a weekly look at the technological, economic and social events and trends that are redefining our relationship with money and transforming the global financial system. You can subscribe to this and all of CoinDesk’snewsletters here. Argentina is by no means alone in this problem. But as its governmentfinalizes yet another bond restructuringdeal with investors, this time to write down $65 billion in foreign debt, and with its perpetually volatile economy facingits worst contraction ever, it’s worth exploring this more deeply. Now, more than ever, Argentina’s failures offer a cautionary tale, especially for the U.S. And with speculation growing over changes to the global financial system, cryptocurrency and blockchain models could help us design systems more resilient to this kind of failure. Note, this isnota “bitcoin fixes this” essay. Believing that bitcoin alone will save all Argentines – or Turks, Venezuelans or Filipinos – is, as Coinshares Chief Strategy Officer Meltem Demirorsnoted this week, naive and offensive. This hard-to-use technology is no silver bullet for the root causes of economic destitution. Related: Nonetheless, bitcoin’s decentralized blockchain-based system for exchange and record-keeping is a valuable frame of reference for assessing existing monetary governance and for thinking about alternatives. To paraphrase Marc Hochstein, CoinDesk’s executive editor (and last week’s replacement author of this newsletter), “blockchain doesn’t have all the answers, but it asks the right questions.” To understand how Argentina’s financial system failed and the potential of a decentralized alternative, we must first review the history of money itself, the power structures it fosters, and the friction it creates. For the past 5,000 years, money has been closely associated with the idea of “the sovereign,” by which we essentially mean “the ruler.” Different communities have used different currencies – from wampum in the early American colonies to cigarettes in prisons – but it’s the ones issued by monarchs and state governments that dominate. That’s because of the sovereign’s unique power to mandate which currencies are legal tender and accepted in payment of taxes. In the 20th century, as the nation-state became entrenched as the core realm of political power, national governments cemented their quasi-monopolies as issuers of legal tender currencies. This was done in coordination with banks, to which they granted exclusive access to central bank reserves, treating them as agents for generating, distributing and circulating money. But while governments and their agent bankers could guarantee their currency’s dominance, they couldn’t control its value among users, who always found ways to sell an unwanted national currency for something of more lasting value: gold, or foreign currencies, or goods they’d stockpile before inflation eroded their purchasing power. They would seek fiat alternatives when governments exploited their unique currency-issuing powers to pursue their own self interests. Rigidly fixed currency regimes, such as the gold standard or Argentina’s 1990s dollar-pegged currency board, offer some protection against that risk. They’re intended as a policy straitjacket to prevent a government from abusing its citizens’ trust. Yet, the state’s power ultimately supersedes this straitjacket, as President Richard Nixon demonstrated by abandoning the dollar’s gold peg in 1971 and as Argentine President Eduardo Duhalde did by ending the Argentine peso’s dollar peg in 2001. Sovereign power is absolute. Let’s learn from Argentina’s tragedy to design a universal system that crowns the ‘sovereign self.’ At the end of the day, a currency’s viability hinges on the degree of trust people hold in their government. One could argue the United States’ relatively solid economic performance since 1971 and Argentina’s disastrous experiences over the same period reflect the comparative degree of institutional trust in each country’s system of government. (One could also argue the distinction between the two countries has narrowed dramatically in recent times.) In Argentina, the trust breakdown manifests as financial and economic volatility, much like anywhere else that’s prone to such boom-bust cycles. Such countries’ financial systems serve the interests of speculators, not their people. Short-sellers swarm in to sell stocks and bonds during a downturn, prompting governments to take drastic measures to stem the outflow of funds – such as the many times Argentina has limited bank withdrawals and transfers in failed bids to protect the peso, only to paralyze its payments system. Eventually, the country’s assets reach oversold levels – when a deal is done with bondholders, for example – which is when speculators return as “vulture funds” buying “distressed debt” to ride the inevitable rebound. It’s a dirty game, but they’re not the root of the problem. This system stems from an original sin: the government’s breach of its people’s trust. Unlike many hard-money bitcoiners, I don’t think the answer to these problems is to impose a hard limit on money supply. I’m not saying bitcoin isn’t valuable; on the contrary, its strict issuance regime gives it “digital gold” qualities that offer a powerful hedge against breaches of governmental trust. It’s just that deflationary currencies, as Argentina’s 1990s currency board showed, often serve solely the interests of savers. In times of economic contraction, economies need money that consumers and investors will put to work rather than HODL. (I see Crypto Twitter’s rage tweets coming at me already.) What solution, then, do bitcoin and other blockchain solutions offer to the “Argentine problem?” It lies, I think, in their radical new model of governance, one that turns the trust problem over to an open-source algorithm whose rules are defined by a permissionless network, a system whose rules Nixon could never have overridden. It’s not, per se, that bitcoin’s rules project a fixed 21-million coin supply 100 years from now, but that the rules themselves – whatever the community agrees to – cannot be changed by a centralized power. What we’re talking about is a different concept of “the sovereign.” This is about not having to trust Richard Nixon, Eduardo Duhalde, the Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell or Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan. It’s about empowering us to choose what currency or system we want for our wellbeing or to exchange value with others. Whether we choose bitcoin, the dollar, gold, a stablecoin, or some other blockchain model, what most matters is the very freedom to choose. We need a system of choice that leaves those in power beholden to the choices of the individuals they deign to rule. Amid so much discussion about the future of the financial system,with even Goldman Sachs questioning the future of the dollar’s hegemony, let’s learn from Argentina’s tragedy to design a universal system that crowns the “sovereign self.” By Galen Moore, CoinDesk Senior Research Analyst The world got a demonstration of bitcoin’s transparency recently, when a hacker took over the Twitter accounts of powerful individuals and companies, and used them to solicit bitcoin with a scam charity appeal. Crypto forensics experts and analysts, CoinDesk included, watched the hacker’s funds, analyzing their sources and where they were transferred. So-called privacy coins aim to shield crypto transactions from that kind of scrutiny. Three of them –dash,moneroandzcash– feature in theCoinDesk 20, a list of assets that show consistent market impact via consecutive quarters of verifiable trading volume. Bitcoin is the highest-volume asset in the CoinDesk 20 and the next-most heavily traded assets often exceed it in returns. This past week’s run-up is no exception. The privacy coins are standouts, in that their volumes are often in the bottom half of the ranking, but two out of the three are in the top five by returns, year-to-date. There’s little evidence the Twitter hack drove particular interest in privacy coins, but so far in 2020, the three coins with a privacy value proposition have punched above their weight. CoinDesk Research’sJuly Reviewhas more on privacy coin volatility and correlations. We’ll continue tracking these projects over the summer.

As we went to print, BTC was testing $12,000 with a shot at its levels not seen since the great boom-bust of 2017-2018, andETH, following a massive run-up from a bottom around $80 in early May, was toying with $400 and trading at its loftiest level since this time two years ago. But for the “normies,” surely this week’s historic market story belonged to gold. The price of the precious metalreached its highest level ever this week, surpassing $2,000 per ounce. This is a big deal, people. I’m no gold bug. I believe bitcoin is a better substitute for scarcity in the digital age and I think a functional currency should have malleability in its supply function, which... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/christandcarrots', "Maybe I'll never achieve 3 Bitcoin?", 12, '2020-09-01 00:11', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ik7tuk/maybe_ill_never_achieve_3_bitcoin/', 'It has been about a year since I posted my previous progress to 1 bitcoin:\n\n [my road to 1 bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9f90u4/my_1_year_history_and_road_to_1_bitcoin/) \n\nI\'ve been trying since this time to get another coin but haven\'t made it quite yet.

Everyone can have their say, but only in their particular echochamber. While I\'ve written more about it [in an essay](https://nendly.com/a/faq), go to r/cc and you\'ll see the main crux. The things you can talk about here won\'t fly so well there. Now why is that?\n\nIt\'s because on Reddit, we have a downvote button. And since what you see is based on vote scores, it\'s essentially a censorship button. If you don\'t hold a 51% opinion, those in the majority will vote you down, and you\'ll leave to join another where the electorate is more favorable. And so we get a million insulated communities, each so sure that the others are wrong and needlessly hostile.\n\nBut it doesn\'t have to be this way! Nendly uses a state-of-the-art voting algorithm that enables discussions wherein many competing ideas are possible. Instead of the upvote and downvote buttons being directly tied to what users see, Nendly performs viewpoint analysis to find the best content among a range of diverse beliefs. And since it uses game-theory, there\'s no possibility for an r/cc style take-over. You can read more about it [here](https://nendly.com/a/faq), but basically I\'ve solved the r/cc problem, as seen in Nendly\'s much friendlier [n/crypto](https://nendly.com/n/crypto) community.\n\nNow there\'s a lot more to the site, including huge usability improvements and features Reddit doesn\'t have, but I\'ll have to leave it for a video I\'ll put out tomorrow. Ask me any questions and I\'ll address them then. (I need to sleep, it\'s been a wild day).\n\n# Nano\n\nOk but why is this a big deal for nano? The benefits are many.\n\n* Nano is exclusively integrated site-wide. Instead of Reddit "awards", we have nano-based gifts that mostly go to the end user. That\'s right, you can get paid to use social media. Forget Reddit\'s ETH integration, we\'ve beet \'em to it, guys!\n* When someone awards your post or comment with nano, you get a helpful message from the system user, who gives you information about nano, the foundation, wallets, etc. so you can adopt it yourself.\n* The user base will be primarily non-crypto people, since I\'ve intentionally built the site for a general-purpose audience. And since nano is the only crypto fully-integrated, we\'ll be actively getting people to join Nano. They won\'t just see it on a list with 50 other coins and bitcoin at the top. We are talking REAL ADOPTION.\n* With scale comes power. Imagine if we had complete control over the code for this subreddit. If someone had an idea requiring scale, we could actually fulfill it. We wouldn\'t have the "okay but where will you get your users" problem. If someone had an idea like ads that pay you nano to view them, we\'d be able to break down that barrier. Well here\'s the thing, we\'ve got Nendly, and with it we can solve the scale problem once and for all. Not just with [n/crypto](https://nendly.com/n/crypto), but with the entire site if we like. As Nendly grows, so too does our launchpad.\n\nThere\'s more too for nano I\'ll put in the video. Again, ask me questions and I\'ll answer them when I\'m not so tired :)\n\n# Current Progress\n\nThere\'s a lot of features that I\'ll be releasing over the coming days and weeks that are close to being done. For now, so I could meet the August deadline I set for myself, it\'s a Desktop-only experience with mobile coming very soon (we\'ve also got a public API that\'s mostly done, PM me if you want to build an App or something).\n\nSo hey, try my site out! You\'ll find updates coming out very fast since most of the cool stuff is \\~90% done. I plan on a major update happening once a week, so it\'ll be a quick-moving experience if you join our community.\n\nPlease bare with me since it\'s just now public. There\'s bound to be funny bugs we\'ll run into, and I already know some email providers are dropping my mail since they\'ve never heard of [nendly.com](https://nendly.com). And who knows, maybe the servers will explode.\n\nAlso, I want to say thanks for all the support these past 2 months.

His is the latest AlphaBay-related case to come to a close after authorities seized what was once the dark web’s biggest marketplace for guns, drugs and stolen identities and financial data back in 2017. According to the Department of Justice, Herrell settled over 20,000 disputes between vendors and purchasers for the marketplace. He also kept an eye out for scams and monitored users’ attempts to defraud each other. The DOJ says Herrell was paid in Bitcoin for his services and operated under the pseudonyms “Penissmith” and “Botah,” but the steps he took to preserve his anonymity weren’t enough to protect him. When the Royal Thai Police, the FBI and the DEA executed an arrest warrant for alleged AlphaBay founder Alexandre Cazes at his residence in Bangkok, they found an unencrypted laptop with files identifying people associated with the marketplace. Cazes’ case was dismissed after he died in his cell in Thailand of suspected suicide. Meanwhile, Herrell pleaded guilty to “conspiring to engage in a racketeer influenced corrupt organization” in January and faced up to 20 years in prison. US Attorney McGregor Scott of the Eastern District of California said in a statement: “This sentence serves as further proof that criminals cannot hide behind technology to break the law.

Bakkt’s back?Growing institutional interest ishelping to drive a recent spike in volumeon Bakkt, according to its president, Adam White. Trading volumes for physically settledbitcoinfutures on Bakkt rose to $134 million on Tuesday from a previous high of $132 million on July 28, Muyao Shen reports. Physically settled means buyers receive tokens at expiration instead of cash. “It’s not a bet on the price of bitcoin,” White said. “It doesn’t rely on an index price created from unregulated spot markets that are self-reporting their data.” Despite the recent surge, Bakkt still lags behind CME Group, a bigger, U.S.-regulated exchange. Data shows the aggregated daily volumes of bitcoin futures on Bakkt and the CME were at $279 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, on Monday.

A document issued by the Department of Industrial and Information Technology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Aug. 24, shows the government agency suspended electricity discounts provided by the state-owned regional energy trading firm, following onsite inspections that found many supposed data centers were actually bitcoin mining facilities. With the policy change, electricity costs could reach 0.38 yuan per kWh ($0.054), up from 0.26–0.28 yuan per kWh ($0.037 to $0.040), CoinDesk’s Wolfie Zhou reports. Venezuela’s crypto economyA new Chainalysis report focused on Latin America foundVenezuela ranks third in the world for crypto adoption,behind Ukraine and Russia. Venezuela has adopted a crypto-friendly attitude amid crippling sanctions and hyperinflation, though most retail usage is happening through peer-to-peer marketplaces, not government-approved exchanges. State-owned Criptolago, one of only seven exchanges with government approval, saw $380,000 in dollar-adjusted volume over the last year compared to LocalBitcoins’ $242 million over the same period. Client centralizationA “critical bug” has left13% of Ethereum nodesuseless, and it could take weeks or months to fix. Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum versions 2.7 and later contain a bug that stops nodes from syncing with the $43 billion network’s latest block. Clients are different programming language implementations of blockchain software, a way to strengthen the network by having concurrent yet separate systems running. This bug has highlighted the issue of client centralization, as Ethereum Foundation-backed Geth client now supports some 80% of the Ethereum network, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Wild predictionsTyler and Cameron Winklevoss, early crypto investors and founders of Gemini,believe weakness in the U.S. financial system and other factors mean bitcoin could one day reach $500,000per coin. In a post on the Winklevoss Capital blog Thursday, the two set out outlined “fundamental problems” with gold, oil, and the U.S. dollar as stores of value. “Even before COVID-19, and despite the longest bull run in U.S. economic history, the government was spending money like a drunken sailor, cutting taxes like Crazy Eddie, and printing money like a banana republic,” the brothers write. They recently met with prominent day-trader Dave Portnoy and told him gold could be devalued if figures like Elon Musk begin gold mining asteroids. • WhistleblowerKidnapped in UkraineAfter Accusing Crypto Firm of Exit Scam (Anna Baydakova/CoinDesk) • YouTube’sWhac-a-Mole Approach to Crypto ScamAds Remains a Problem (Ben Powers/CoinDesk) • US Files Suit AgainstCrypto Accounts Tied to North Korea(Danny Nelson/CoinDesk) • Tesla’s Gigafactory hit by Failed HackWanting BitcoinRansom (Shaurya Malwa/Decrypt) • When ETF?

This could signal increased bullishness about future gains, CoinDesk’s Zack Voell said. Miners are holding more than 1.82 million bitcoins, an increase of roughly 2% in the last year, according to data from Glassnode. In fact, this is part of a larger trend, where the percentage of all inactive bitcoin (meaning it hasn’t been traded or cashed in) hit a four-year high last spring. Thomas Heller, former director at leading mining pool F2Pool, said this was a bullish indicator, as it appears holders may be anticipating a higher price. To be sure, no one is clairvoyant, but we’re talking about market sentiment. But there is another technical reason miners, in particular, may be holding: mining factories are in a cycle of deploying newer mining machines. This phase in the “hardware cycle” means operation expenses have decreased, and therefore, so has the number of bitcoin sold to cover those expenses, Harry Sudock, vice president of strategy at GRIID, said. Presumably, costs would have spiked months ago, when miners were ordering the machines now being deployed. As miners deploy new machines, they also enjoyed a 7% monthly revenue increase in July, according to network data analyzed by CoinDesk, thanks to recent price appreciation and increased transaction fees.

This process would operate in the background if it runs the way Wasabi envisions it, opening up the possibility to make “every spend a CoinJoin.” Fee-lessUSD Coin (USDC) hasintegrated “meta transactions” to the stablecoin platform to eliminate feespaid to the Ethereum blockchain when sending money around. “This enables people to fund their non-custodial wallets withUSDCand start using DeFi/dapps without also having to ownETH,” Coinbase developer Peter Jihoon Kim said. Adopted as part of a protocol update, USDC 2.0, the Centre Consortium also announced a new on-chain signature system, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Founded by Coinbase and Circle, USDC is the second-largest stablecoin by market cap at $1.4 billion. Tech over lawsShiv Malik, co-founder of the Intergenerational Foundation think tank and head of growth at Streamr,thinks policies like Europe’s GDPR or Andrew Yang’s “data dividend” are inadequatefor putting users back in control of their data. “[T]here is a way of fighting tech with tech that might also result in changing the underlying economic structures,” he writes, namely through open-source, decentralized protocols. “We shouldn’t demand a tithe, we should take back control of our data.” The BreakdownThe Breakdown presents everything you need to know aboutJerome Powell’s Jackson Hole address. • Blockchain Bites: Winklevoss’ Wild Prediction, Bitcoin Miners’ Horde, Ethereum’s ‘Critical Bug’ • Blockchain Bites: Winklevoss’ Wild Prediction, Bitcoin Miners’ Horde, Ethereum’s ‘Critical Bug’... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/SpaceGenesis', "I'm trying to be positive but GL's actions are the opposite of intelligence.

I'll like to share my opinion about some of the points you touched.\n\n\\> Worsened graphics. Same device.\n\nOn Windows, the only difference I can tell is that the Nitro Bottles have their 'glow' reduced and the gameplay feels sightly smoother. Lag on Full Screen continues.\n\n\\> Frame skipping and lagging everywhere. Also game crashes. They said they optimized the game. I bet they forgot to mention that you need a quantum computer to play their casino racing masterpiece. \n\nTotally agree. My game crashes every once in a while when starting races, and apparently I'm the only one on Windows that faces this issue. CPU usage is very high, which is unnecessary, in fact I play on the lowest graphics on windowed mode to avoid lag. Other games I play like GTA, Honkai Impact, or Android emulators work fine at medium-high graphics but this one...\n\n\\> The infamous lagging screen after every freaking race (what the hell are they doing in background that the phones become so hot? bitcoin mining?). They still didn't fix it after the recent hotfix! Who pays these clowns who can't even revert some dumb changes? \n\nLoading screens got tampered with. It used to take 2-4 seconds to me load the game, now it takes around 5-10. Not a big deal on Windows but for Android/IOS players it isn't good.\n\n\\> The unfair SE. There are hardly tokens offered. They keep reducing the rewards until there will be nothing left except uncommon parts and a few credits. They expect us to play hundreds of races for peanuts. The finest greediness. Also how come SE still shares the same tickets pool with daily events? They are different things! \n\nI'd like to write deeper thoughs about this one.\n\nRemember the old SEs where we could unlock the main car and star it up if you had most of the requested cars? Events like EVO, Terzo, Aperta and about this last one, I unlocked the Aperta with only a 3\\* BMW, 2\\* J50, 5\\* Corvette, 2\\* EVO, 2\\* Aventador J and a 2\\* 570S. Compared to this one I'm only missing the Jaguar, the Continental and my Vantage is at 1\\, everything else is maxed and I'm only going to get around 28-30 BPS* I'm not even going to unlock the car without spending Tokens. \n\nNow this is the main problem that not many people have noticed; Special Event Club Rewards were removed.\n\nA great boost for having a good club that has many of the requested cars. Isn't this one of Gameloft's goals for the game? Having a Club System that benefits its members? I don't even understand their objectives...\n\nForeseeing the McLaren Speedtail event I can almost guarantee you that all Lotus cars are going to be needed; the trashy Elise, the even trashier Evora and the P2W Evija, all of them in a useless pack for 650-750 Tokens. \n\nAll of the Mclaren cars on one pack that might cost 750-950 Tokens; P1, 570S and Senna. The only ok thing about the event.\n\nThe Bacalar and maybe the Valhalla. \n\nTo get what?, another Zenvo - Fenyr clone.\n\n\\> Same old stinky GP. Everyone knows what is wrong with this thing that has nothing in common with real grand prixes except the name. Most regular players don't win keys. Why should we even bother anymore? \n\nI consider myself an above average player and I didn't even win the SC18 with 3 stars... Whales and alien Sandbaggers are dominant in this event. And notice this last one, ALIEN SANDBAGGERS! These kind of players have NOTHING to do in Tier 3-5. \n\nGrand Prix will never change for good. We gotta deal with it from now on...\n\n\\> Credits heist is good in theory. In practice they added the awful police besides the aggressive AI to make sure you can't get those credits. They also added stars requirements for good measure. Also they made it that way you need to play too many races if you want all rewards. Efficiency is again not in their dictionary. \n\nIts not actually good tho. New players are not going to get much with these star requirements. \n\n\\> The new MP format which encourages dumb grinding to get some decent milestones. \n\nI said it once, twice and thrice and I'll say it again: Rush was way better at every aspect.\n\nIn fact, if they kept Rush AND added the Milestone system there, I'd be the Perfect MP.\n\nFinding people on lobbies is twice as hard on Windows, on the second season I played 5 duel races in a row at Elite league. How tf am I supposed to get the 1K Milestone points in 1 week at this rate?

From the beginning of its launch, ZelaaPayAE invested in the development of revolutionary blockchain infrastructure solutions designed to enhance people’s ability to effortlessly use cryptocurrencies in everyday life, such as Point-of-Sale terminals and crypto debit cards. Now, ZelaaPayAE makes yet another great leap forward: in order to keep providing its users with a bespoke level of quality and effectiveness, ZelaaPayAE partnered with Tron to become a Dual Chain platform that unleashes full power of both the Ethereum and Tron networks.\nTron uses a different consensus mechanism to Ethereum when it comes to adding and verifying transactions on its network. Instead of using Proof-of-Work like Ethereum or Bitcoin where miners produce blocks for the network, TRON uses something called Delegated Proof-of-Stake where 27 elected Super Representatives produce blocks for the network. This consensus mechanism allows TRON to achieve much faster rates of transactions than Ethereum. For a platform with razor sharp focus, like ZelaaPayAE, delivering the highest quality of services allows no room for tribalism and personal preferences. After strong evaluations, the company has decided to deploy optimal solutions to assure the highest level of quality and is confident in the power of Dual Chain. The partnership with Tron is a beneficial step forward, because it enables ZelaaPayAE to deliver maximum effectiveness in the consumer payments domain, while building a strong base for DeFi services through the Ethereum chain.\nZelaaPayAE believes that both Tron and Ethereum are mutually exclusive and excel in answering specific demands.

Today's Key News: ['Launched on 31st August 2020, FACT (“Fee Active Collateral Token”), a lending protocol, has entered the DeFi scene with a bang. Its unique product allows cryptocurrency investors to deposit various stablecoins as collateral, all with zero interest rate. FACT’s investment model is designed to give investors a new passive income model, as opposed to traditional staking used in other DeFi protocols. Also Read \| The Major Upside of Bitcoin – What Does It Mean? It’s noteworthy that DeFi lending and staking are now gaining popularity in the cryptocurrency, as they allow you to make money even while you sleep. To that end, FACT introduced its unique lending model to help investors earn passive returns on both their deposits and investments. By staking FACT, you’re automatically considered a Liquidity Provider, using your collateral to hedge against volatility in the crypto markets. To get you started, here\'s how you can easily earn passive income with FACT. Also Read \| Marsan Bitcoin Exchange - Everything You Need to Know First, deposit Dai (or any other supported token) at 0% interest as collateral to get FACT for liquidity mining. To help sustain the platform, borrowers pay a one-time 2% processing fee to liquidity providers (i.e., stakers). Then, you can stake FACT to earn passive returns. By staking FACT, you\'ll be recognized as a Liquidity Provider and you will receive a share of the 2% fixed borrowing fee. In addition to liquidity providing , you\'ll receive a part of the tokens (7 million FACT) allocated for staking rewards. Keep in mind that your earnings are determined by two factors: how much FACT you stake and how long your crypto-assets are locked in the system, As a liquidity provider you’ll get the 2% distributed as long as you are staking FACT. FACT is the native token, so you don\'t need to hold token ETH/FACT pairs — say 50% ETH and 50% FACT — to become a liquidity provider. Also, as a staker, you\'ll not be affected by price fluctuations and impermeant losses since you\'re only contributing to the liquidity pool by only FACT. Story continues FACT was recently listed on popular decentralized exchange Uniswap, in what was a high-profile launch. This massive partnership has helped early-stage FACT investors successfully earn a whopping 1400% return on their investments. In what was a strategic move aimed at getting better exposure and more traction, FACT scored another exchange partnership with Hotbit four days later. For the unfamiliar, Hotbit is an exchange that allows you to trade virtually every major cryptocurrency, more than every other exchange in the crypto space. 20,000 FACT tokens will be burned every month and most of the remaining tokens will be locked up in FACT\'s smart contract to provide liquidity to the mining pool. The smart contract is already in development, and HODLers will be able to stake their tokens starting from 20th September, 2020. September will be a significant month for the project, with operations kicking into full swing this month. Several \'updates\' have been rolled out already, such as the Uniswap token listing, presale Liquidity lock and Hotbit listing. Moreover, plans are already in place for major announcements like the Probit and Kucoin listings (in the coming weeks), beta release, and staking dApp launch which are highly anticipated in the community. FACT Project Roadmap; major announcements expected in September FACT has a circulating supply of 400,000 while as of September 3 (i.e., after the first FACT coin burn), the total supply is 15,382,000. Out of the total supply of FACT, 5.5 million FACT available to the liquidity pool. To reduce the supply of FACT tokens, FACT DAO will burn 20,000 FACT every month, thereby preventing inflation. Since FACT is a deflationary currency, its value will only increase over time while the supply reduces. As such, stakers will keep earning better rewards for liquidity mining. Considering the overall complexity of the project and the ambitious vision of the team, FACT has already made a lasting impression in less than a week (precisely three days) after its launch. It\'s important to note FACT is much more than a cryptocurrency; it\'s an ecosystem supporting crypto stakeholders who believe in the future of money: decentralized finance. With a fast-growing community of passionate investors and several groundbreaking features to be added in the future (launching its DEX, for instance), FACT is no doubt one innovative project to watch out for in the DeFi space. Through zero-interest lending, lucrative staking rewards and yield farming, the future looks bright, for a FACT !

One of the main possible reasons for the shift is the recent decentralized finance (DeFi) boom.The Block’s Larry Cermaklooked atthe ETH/BTC spot volume ratio from exchanges with legitimate volume and found that the ratio has grown from about 16% in September 2019 to about 50% now. Source: CryptoCompare, The Block ResearchAs for futures trading volumes, the ETH/BTC ratio has grown from about 8% in September 2019 to about 29% now. Overall, rising ETH trading volumes show that there could be further room for ETH price to grow, according to Cermak. While there is increasing interest in ETH, its market capitalization is still about five times smaller than bitcoin’s, and ETH spot volumes are twice lower, and futures volumes are three times smaller than bitcoin volumes.

Obviously stocks being stupidly over valued crypto was the only option.\n\nI have used BTC in the past and was SHOCKED at how shit it was given the hype e.g. Took 1hr to send and cost 30% transaction fees. So I asked a tech friend about alternatives and he said Nano - instant & free - great i thought and purchased my first 500 at 1.32 a few weeks ago.\n\nMy luck nano tanked today but i had planned on buying 2k worth anyway and was looking to buy at 0.85,0.55 and 0.35 (apprx support levels).\n\nHOWEVER (and this is my question), before i brought my next lot of Nano i was looking at Reddit for some more fundamental analysis before really committing to the full 2k+ plan.. In doing so i stumbled on 1 big flaw.\n\nWhy would someone use Nano over Paypal? Now i understand the Niche crypto community dont care about paypal users and I agree paypal is expensive & nazi-ish but as an investor who wants their coin to achieve MASS multi-billion user adoption we have to be realistic here.. Consumers drive demand for currency - if a ccy doesnt benefit the consumer in someway it will be difficult for nano to become a 'macro' ccy.\n\nThe speed is cool but paypal matches the speed. The fees? the consumer doesnt pay them anyway. You could argue thtat suppliers pass the fees back onto the consumer though so i guess that is a fair point.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 3.13% on Friday. Partially reversing a 10.80% tumble from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,484.7. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $10,095 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,620, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,644.0. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $11,090, Bitcoin eased back to sub-$10,500 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Friday. Tron’s TRX bucked the trend once more, sliding by 11.42% to partially reverse Thursday’s 15.94% breakout. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. EOS led the way, rallying by 14.50%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+6.93%), Cardano’s ADA (+7.45%), Monero’s XMR (+5.53%), and Tezos (+7.20%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+3.04%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.58%), Ethereum (+1.50%), Litecoin (+1.22% Ripple’s XRP (+3.82%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.83%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Tuesday high $379.05bn before sliding to a Thursday low $303.72bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $322.50bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 58.79% before rising to a Thursday high 60.77%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.75%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.40% to $10,443.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,593.0 before falling to a low $10,442.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.17%), Ethereum (-0.35%), and Litecoin (-1.34%) joined Bitcoin in the red. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, EOS was up by 1.55% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,365 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,764. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $10,644.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $11,043. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,365 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,086 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$10,000 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $9,687.

The original designs were a work of art. \n\nAnyway, I seriously wanted to hold those magic cards but I kept telling myself...\n\n"I can get them back if I want. The price isn\'t going to move anytime soon. The market is in slight decline. Some of these have been the same price for 2 years now." \n\nI was right, the price of my two Lotus\'s stayed the same for 5 more years. Not budging . 12 years later after that , those same two cards value at over $60,000ea I believe. If I held untill a few years ago or now, I would\'ve been able to do a quick sale at $400,000. Yes at a discount.\n\nThe same goes for all the first edition garbage pail kids I had. \n\n##So, what did I do with all $7800##?\n\nI told myself I want to invest it into Microsoft. But I talked myself out of it by saying \n\n"Some people told me the market was a risk, and I had to prepare myself to lose it all"\n\nSo I didn\'t do it. I was close, but I didn\'t. I could\'ve had OVER A MILLION! \n\nI instead used that money for a school. Business computer programming.\nIt was a waste because 90% of what they taught me came natural. I was doing basic programming at 13 for fun. \n\nI regret not going with my initial FOMO on Microsoft , I regret listening to my own FUD with the MTG cards. \n\n\n7 years later, I repeated the same mistake...\n\nI had about $15,000 in the bank. I wanted to invest $10,000 in apple after I read about the release of the iphone. Instead opted to do 5k over FUD I read. It was FUD about the risk since they never made phones, and alot of people were ridiculing their idea. \n\nThen I said to myself...\n\n"Fuck that, I don\'t want to do this. I could do so much more with this 5k" \n\nI instead used the 15k turbocharge my transam, add a racing transmission, tires, rims, new stero system, and I took a 2 week vacation ...GONE!\n\nI got what I wanted. Got laid a bunch of times, went to car shows. That could of been $500k by now. \n\nTo top this off, I missed out on a quick $78,000 win at the racetrack because if my own FUD. Horses.\n\nI lost $200, and was left with only I $5 that night. I decided, "you know what, fuck it, I\'m going to do a completely off the wall wild bet. \n\n I did a completely wild bet for $5. I picked all longshots in what they call a "Superfecta"(4 horses in that exact order 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place prediction. \n\n1 minute before the race started, I Cancelled the bet. I told myself ...\n\n"this is stupid, 99:1, 78:1, 56:1, 38:1 long shots coming out in this order? THATS INSANE...Why am I blowing 5 away? Fuck that, I instead put $5 on the 10:1 to win hopefully my to maybe get $50 back " \n\nWell. Guess what? The 3nd largest superfecta payout in history. No body won it! It came out i...

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slid by 2.74% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 3.13% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,196.9. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $10,593.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,764, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,925.5. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,086 before finding late support. Late in the day, Bitcoin moved back through the first major support level to wrap up the day at $10,190 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday. Tron’s TRX and Ethereum tumbled by 15.96% and by 13.69% respectively to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-7.32%), Cardano’s ADA (-11.59%), Ripple’s XRP (-6.62%), Stellar’s Lumen (-7.32%), and Tezos (-9.61%) also saw particularly heavy losses. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-5.07%), EOS (-2.02%), Litecoin (-5.77%), and Monero’s XMR (-5.98%) saw relatively modest losses. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend on the day, rising by 0.25%. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Tuesday high $379.05bn before sliding to a Saturday low $279.73bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $306.87bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 58.79% before rising to a Saturday high 61.97%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.36%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.23% to $10,220.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,147.0 before rising to a high $10,225.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bianance Coin (-0.79%) and Tezos (-0.56%) saw red early on. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 2.24% to lead the way early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $10,239 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,551. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $10,593.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,906 would likely come into play. Failure to move through the $10,239 pivot would bring the first major support level at $9,884 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,571.

Change In Landscape From The 90s: The owner of Dallas Mavericks said he makes his investment decisions independent of financial advisors, and sticks to companies he personally believes in. Cuban is a known supporter of technological innovations and holds investments in giants like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX ). "I used to trade a lot, I used to be very, very active as a trader," Cuban told David Rubenstein. In the 90s and early 2000s, there was a lot less money chasing more stocks, but “now there is a lot more money chasing fewer stocks,” according to Cuban. "It's harder to trade and be successful, so I just stick to companies I believe in," the "Shark Tank" host said in the Bloomberg interview. COVID-19 Brings New Opportunity: Cuban also talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic could create opportunities for entrepreneurs and the NBA bubble. The "Shark Tank" host remarked that the lockdown situation is forcing people to adapt to a digital lifestyle. He claimed that these troubled times is the perfect and opportune moment for creative and innovative entrepreneurs with a vision for the future. Back in April, Cuban claimed that despite having a hopeful long term opinion, he held a bleak view of the US market rally in the short run.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.71% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.74% slide from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 12.39% to $10,276. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,031.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,884, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $10,365.1. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,551, Bitcoin eased back to wrap up the day at sub-$10,300. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday. Bitcoin Cash ABC and EOS ended the day down by 0.79% and by 1.16% respectively to buck the trend. It was a bullish end to the week for the rest of the majors, however. Binance Coin surged by 18.99% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+3.10%), Ethereum (+5.23%), Monero’s XMR (+2.81%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.59%), Tezos (+2.75%), and Tron’s TRX (+5.39%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.01%), Litecoin (+0.15%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.15%) trailed the front runners. For the week ending 6 th September, it was also a mixed bag for the majors. Tron’s TRX rallied by 16.44% to buck the trend. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Tezos (-24.62%), Litecoin (-23.85%), Stellar’s Lumen (-21.20%), and Cardano’s ADA (-20.98%) led the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-19.22%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-17.39%), Ethereum (-17.75%), Monero’s XMR (-16.73%), and Ripple’s XRP (-15.34%) also saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-1.90%) and EOS (-10.64%) saw relatively modest losses in the week. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Tuesday high $379.05bn before sliding to a Saturday low $293.54bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $314.76bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 58.79% before rising to a Saturday high 62.01%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.41%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.53% to $10,330. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,267.0 before striking a high $10,330.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day. At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was up by 2.17% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,224 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,417. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $10,365.1. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,558 would likely come into play. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,224 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,083 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,890.

But analysts suggest that’s an overreaction. • Bitcoin’s price rose to $11,319 on Monday, the highest level since August 2019, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. • At time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading near $11,100, representing a 18% gain from lows near $9,400 observed a week ago. • The sudden rally has pushed the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) above 80.00. • A measurement of over 70.00 is considered overbought, meaning the bullish move is now overstretched. • Asim Ahmad, co-chief investment officer at London-based Eterna Capital, said that an above-70 RSI does not necessarily imply an impending major price slide. • More likely it indicates that the bullish move is overstretched and vulnerable to consolidation or a minor retracement at worst, Ahmad said. • Lennard Neo, head of research at Stack funds, explained the RSI can stay inflated for longer periods in a strongly trending market, adding that other indicators are showing strong buying momentum. • The RSI is based on price and remained elevated during the previous bulls runs. • Bitcoin remained bid and rose 160% in the second quarter of 2019 (above left) despite the RSI printing highs above 70.00 several times during the three-month period. • A similar pattern was observed during the bull market frenzy of 2017 (above right). • Back to summer 2020 and the overbought measurement on the RSI may keep the cryptocurrency hovering around $11,000 for some time. Support is seen around $10,500. • Rotation of money out of the DeFi space and traditional markets and into bitcoin would create momentum for the cryptocurrency, said Neo. • Prices could rise quickly toward $12,000 in the short-term if the U.S. Federal Reserve signals higher tolerance for inflation. That could yield another sell-off for the greenback and send gold above the $2,000 mark. • Bitcoin still remains vulnerable to a sell-off in equities, as was seen during the wider markets crash in March, according to Joel Kruger, a currency strategist at LMAX Digital.

The largest and most influential cryptocurrency jumped as much as 15% to $10,944, the highest since last August. In fact, the largest digital token settled at around $10,237, the highest level since Jun 1, based on spot prices. Thus, all eyes are now on the critical $10,500 mark, a level that it had failed to hold on to in June and February. But experts believe that bitcoin could head to $15,000 next. Notably, bitcoin last went past $10,000 on Jun 3 and has since seen a persistent decline. But over the past seven days, the digital currency has climbed almost 11%. What’s more, crypto funds too gained as bitcoin broke out from a recent trading range to end at its highest level in two months. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust climbed more than 10% yesterday, while the Grayscale Ethereum Trust jumped nearly 30%. So what’s behind bitcoin's run past the key $10,000 resistance level? The move for the digital currency comes as gold prices scaled northward amid a rush for assets that are considered safe haven and are alternatives to stocks mostly perceived as risky assets. And why so? This is because the coronavirus pandemic has dented profit margins of companies and driven much of the developed world into a deep recession. The virus infected thousands worldwide, disrupted supply chains and restrained movements between countries. Story continues Some experts believe that growth in the so-called stable bitcoin is also due to intensifying tensions between the United States and China that could easily rattle the equity market, the same reason why gold prices have been recently scaling upward as well. The U.S. dollar, in the meantime, weakened due to fresh spikes in COVID-19 cases, which again helped both gold and “digital gold” to rise. Lest we forget, crypto fans have often touted bitcoin as “digital gold.” Needless to say, when the value of dollar decreases relative to other currencies throughout the globe, the price of gold tends to rise in dollar terms. After all, gold becomes less expensive in other currencies. To top it, several Wall Street bigwigs are showing keen interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. And this bullish approach toward bitcoin is surely driving digital assets. For instance, JPMorgan Chase & Co. has introduced JPM Coin, which will be helpful in handling digital settlements. And how can we forget that telecommunication, media and technology service provider AT&T Inc. has also begun accepting crypto payments via a partnership with BitPay. 3 Stocks to Gain From Bitcoin’s Epic Run If you are looking to tap the rising bitcoin trend, you may take a look at the following Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) companies that are making use of bitcoin and technologies that support it, including blockchain. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Microsoft Corp. , incidentally, is facing stiff competition from Amazon in the cloud computing space. As a result, the tech behemoth has launched a fully-managed blockchain service, integrated with Azure Active Directory. Microsoft's fiscal fourth-quarter results benefited from momentum in Azure and impressive Teams user growth led by coronavirus-induced work-from-home wave. Microsoft’s Intelligent Cloud division raked in $13.4-billion sales compared to analysts’ estimate of $13.11 billion. Sales also grew 17% year over year (read more: 4 Cloud Stocks to Win Big on Microsoft's Stellar Earnings Show). The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current and next year is 10.4% and 13.1%, respectively. PayPal Holdings, Inc , a leader in digital payment processes, sealed a deal with three major bitcoin payment processors, BitPay, GoCoin and Coinbase, to help PayPal merchants accept bitcoin as a mode of payment. PayPal’s two-sided platform, safety and simplicity of transactions, opportunities in the fast-growing mobile space and strategic partnerships are major positives. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current quarter and year is 41% and 7.4%, respectively. Additionally, the company’s expected earnings growth rate for the next year is 23.4%. Intel Corp. is a traditional technology company but has exposure to blockchain technology. Intel’s new Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology, which offers hardware-based memory encryption that isolates specific application code and data in memory, can help in blockchain transactions as well as AI applications. Intel, no doubt, derives revenues from other sources as well. By the way, Intel’s leading position in the PC market, strength in servers, growing clout in software, IoT & ADAS domains and headway in process technology are indicators of booming prospects. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the next five-year period is 7.5%. These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.

Or even the entirety?\n\nDespite the massive valuations and parabolic price jumps the sector has undergone? \n\nLook guys, I know that stonks only go up, but sometimes in order to keep going up in the long term, they need to go down in the short term. Sometimes they need to go down a lot. Sometimes, if you\'re not properly diversified, it could take years, even decades, to recoup losses, even if you dollar cost average. \n\nMeanwhile, other stonks that you neglected because you went all in on one sector of one market of one country\'s economy will go up, and you\'ll miss making all those gains because you\'re still betting almost 100% on tech. \n\nBasically, what I\'m trying to say is you\'re exposing yourself to a disproportionate amount of risk, more potential risk than potential reward, whenever you make QQQ half of your portfolio. Remember that even 60% VTI/40% VXUS is moderately risky, because you\'re still only exposed to one asset class. Just for context. \n\nLastly, I just wanna loop back to the beginning and encourage you guys to look at that quote, then consider what happens whenever an asset becomes very popular, maybe even trendy. Weed stocks were big, and kept going up. Bitcoin was big, and kept going up. Real estate was big, and kept going up. Dotcom companies were big, and kept going up. What happened to them all? \n\nI\'m not saying the tech sector is going to see the same fate, because I don\'t have a crystal ball. But I AM saying that when you effectively make your portfolio almost entirely tech by making it 40% QQQ, 20% VOO, 20% VUG and 20% ARKK, you\'re placing a very clear bet that tech will never meet that fate. \n\nDo you wanna make that bet?

View comments', 'Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slid by 2.42% on Tuesday. Reversing a 1.18% gain from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,148.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $10,464.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,579, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,882.4. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,065 recovering to wrap up the day at $10,100 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day for the majors on Tuesday.

Change In Landscape From The 90s:The owner of Dallas Mavericks said he makes his investment decisions independent of financial advisors, andsticks to companieshe personally believes in. Cuban is a known supporter of technological innovations and holds investments in giants likeAmazon.com Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN) andNetflix Inc.(NASDAQ:NFLX). "I used to trade a lot, I used to be very, very active as a trader," Cuban told David Rubenstein. In the 90s and early 2000s, there was a lot less money chasing more stocks, but “now there is a lot more money chasing fewer stocks,” according to Cuban. "It's harder to trade and be successful, so I just stick to companies I believe in," the "Shark Tank" host said in the Bloomberg interview. COVID-19 Brings New Opportunity:Cuban also talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic could create opportunities for entrepreneurs and the NBA bubble. The "Shark Tank" host remarked that the lockdown situation is forcing people to adapt to a digital lifestyle. He claimed that these troubled times is the perfect and opportune moment for creative and innovative entrepreneurs with a vision for the future. Back in April, Cuban claimed that despite having a hopeful long term opinion, he held a bleak view of the US market rally in the short run.

Today's Key News: ["“A pandemic-led acceleration of adoption.”\nThat’s how Singapore-based DBS Bank describes the current state of digital assets in itsquarterly report on cryptocurrenciespublished in August.\nIt’s interesting to hear such an observation from a respected multinational bank and its chief economist, Taimur Baig. However, there have lately been murmurings about certain large financial institutions – particularly in places like Singapore, Switzerland and Germany – fielding a new wave of demand for crypto, filtering through from smaller private banks and wealthy clients.\nRelated:Binance’s New Platform Will Connect CeFi and DeFi With $100M Fund\nOn the subject of cryptocurrencies likebitcoin (BTC), Baig identified two distinct phases of demand: pre-pandemic and post-pandemic.\n“Pre-pandemic demand was largely speculative. People saw bitcoin had a spectacular run and wanted to be part of that game, so what’s wrong with putting in 1% of assets under management [into BTC],” Baig said in an interview. “But I think post-pandemic is beyond speculative. It’s more about, ‘This thing has fixed circulation, it will not be debased.’ People are worried about dollar outflow and wondering if they should hold crypto in addition to gold as a safe-haven currency.”\nRead more:Bitcoin’s Correlation With Gold Hits Record High\nDBS isn’t the only bank to notice this trend. Singapore-based digital asset bank Sygnum, which holds a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, echoed this view.\nRelated:First Mover: DeFi 'Vampire' SushiSwap Sucks $800M from Uniswap; BitMEX Basis Lags\n“Since the outbreak of COVID-19 there has been increased interest from family offices and private individuals who see digital assets as an alternative and a way to protect against a worrying inflation risk,” said Martin Burgherr, co-head of clients at Sygnum Bank. “Now that banks are awakening from the lockdown, we have had a significant uptick in national and international banks asking us to help in a B2B setup, to enable their clients to invest in digital assets.”\nBaig – who has previously held senior economist roles at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Deutsche Bank and the International Monetary Fund – likes to zoom out and take a macro view of digital currencies and the potential play of central bank digital currencies (CBDC).\nThere has been a steady rise in gold, while fixed-income yields are heading towards zero, Baig said, and such conditions have also caused “bitcoin to come back quite convincingly.”\nRead more:PTJ on BTC: Bitcoin Is Now the Macro Big Bet\nIt’s tempting to look at bitcoin through the lens of foreign exchange (FX), as yet another currency with an exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. But this is mistaken, Baig said, since a regular sovereign currency has accepted economic means of evaluation that determine productivity and long-term growth.\n“You can’t value cryptocurrencies like that,” Baig said. “While they can have this credibility with a system-based circulation, they’re still not attached to a country’s fortune. So, of course, they will not go and up and down the way the U.S. economy goes up and down. From that perspective, it’s more akin to gold than an FX in my view.”\nFor countries experiencing a currency crisis or episode of hyperinflation, pegging to the U.S. dollar may bring some short-term credibility, but it doesn’t work out well for a lot of currencies, Baig noted, adding:\n“If you look at Venezuela or even Lebanon, which is in the middle of a massive financial crisis, could you, at some point going forward, conceive that instead of linking your currency to the U.S. dollar, you link it to a cryptocurrency?”\nProvided that transactions can be viewed on the blockchain there are possibilities, said Baig. “As long as it’s tied to a limited-circulation currency, I see some similarities between that sort of anchoring versus anchoring against the US. dollar,” he said.\nThe topic of CBDCs is also highly politicized, particularly between the U.S. and China.\nThere are two dimensions to think about when it comes to China and its CBDC efforts at “digitizing the redback,” said Baig. Firstly, a digital renminbi (e-RMB) is a way that China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), can exercise some control over the country’s sprawling fintech ecosystem.\n“There’s so much going on at the Alipay, Tencent level,” Baig said. “Deposits are being made by those fintechs, they are extending credit, so it doesn’t really matter what PBoC does with respect to interest rates. It’s like a whole parallel universe.”\nRead more:China’s Digital Currency May Come With Hardware Wallets as Well\nThe other dimension concerns the potential for an e-RMB to become a way for certain countries to bypass the U.S. dollar settlement mechanism, which makes them “somehow answerable to the Southern District [Court] in New York” or the Securities and Exchange Commission,” said Baig.\n“The U.S. dollar has been used repeatedly as a weapon against Iran against other countries and also against China,” he said. “I think now with U.S.-China tensions so high the case for e-RMB becomes even more compelling.”\nRead the full report:\n• Pandemic Will Speed Bitcoin Adoption, Says DBS Bank Economist\n• Pandemic Will Speed Bitcoin Adoption, Says DBS Bank Economist", "“A pandemic-led acceleration of adoption.” That’s how Singapore-based DBS Bank describes the current state of digital assets in its quarterly report on cryptocurrencies published in August.

Today's Key News: ["Within a week of going online, DeFi project SushiSwap’s total value locked (TVL) surpassed $1.5 billion.

SushiSwap only took seven days to launch.This article wasoriginally published by CoinDesk Chinaon Tuesday.\nSushiSwap co-founder 0xMaki (later referred to as Maki) once proudly said, “It took Uniswap two years to get to where it is today. It only took us seven days.”\nSushiSwap’s founding team is extremely small, with only three people: Chef Nomi (later referred to as Chef), sushiswap and 0xMaki.

The interview, which is slightly edited, covers Maki’s opinions on Chef’s sale of the development funds and Sam’s management authority, as well as SushiSwap’s development plan after Chef’s departure.\nCoinDesk China: Let’s start with a self-introduction. Who are you, and what do you do in SushiSwap?\nMaki: I’m a full-stack engineer, but in SushiSwap I’m responsible for growth and operations. For the time being, I don’t want to disclose too much about my real identity. If it becomes necessary later, I will disclose it, now it is too early.\nCoinDesk China: In your opinion, why did SushiSwap explode online?\nMaki: On the first day we went online, we had the Quantstamp audit report, which contained no major defects. The security audit report is very helpful to the growth of our TVL.\nCoinDesk China: What are your short-term goals?\nMaki: Our short-term goal is to successfully complete the migration, this is very important.[Note: The migration wascompletedon Wednesday].\nLater we will discuss governance with the community, in order to make the project develop smoothly and not fail.\nWe will also optimize the user interface (UI) of SushiSwap, such as launching a Chinese UI, introducing more traders, and adding features that UniSwap does not have.\nMore important, we will start integrating with other DeFi protocols. For example, the integration with renBTC’s native system, which would allow users to directly convertBTCto renBTC on SushiSwap. Another example is that if we integrate with 1inch, they can route more transactions to us because we have better liquidity.\nI am a believer in Ethereum, but I am open-minded about other public chains as well. I also hope to launch SushiSwap on public chains like Polkadot and Solana.\nWe want to create the best, most user-friendly DEX.\nCoinDesk China: When did you first start learning about cryptocurrency and blockchain?\nMaki: As early as 2013, someone introduced me to Bitcoin.\nCoinDesk China: Why did you decide to join SushiSwap?\nMaki: After reading a SushiSwap article on Medium, I felt that “Community Uniswap” is an indispensable part of the DEX ecosystem, so I contacted Chef and expressed my willingness to join.\nWhen I joined, staking, migration and governance contracts were all ready. Chef did not give me GitHub permissions, so I started directly preparing to work on market and operations.\nMy work at SushiSwap is completely voluntary. Now I only holdETHand YFI, I don’t have SUSHI tokens, nor participate in SUSHI liquidity mining. I value the success or failure of SushiSwap more than personal gains and losses.\nI have participated in YAM and YFI mining. Although I have not yet reached financial freedom, I’m not short on money.\nCoinDesk China: What is your personal opinion of Uniswap?\nMaki: I think Uniswap is very good. Its founder Hayden Adams is a person I really admire.\nI think we will coexist with Uniswap. There definitely will be multiple players on this track. In addition to Uniswap and SushiSwap, there will be other DEXs as well.\nCoinDesk China: Do you personally know Chef? Are Chef and sushiswap the same person?\nMaki: I saw SushiSwap’s introduction article on Medium, and after finding it very interesting I joined its Discord group. I was the third person to join, after Chef and sushiswap. I don’t think they are the same person, but they are probably two people who know each other in real life.\nCoinDesk China: Many people on the Internet are saying, Chef is actually FTX CEO Sam, is that true?\nMaki: No, Sam joined later. I don’t believe Chef and Sam are the same person.\nCoinDesk China: Are you disappointed bywhat Chef did?\nMaki: Chef sold all the tokens that were supposed to be used for a development fund, which is very surprising. At the beginning, Chef said that he didn’t come to make fast money, he was thinking about the community … I now think he’s all talk, and I am not sure of his original intention…\nIn the end he cashed out, but he also transferred the administrator authority to Sam, but his behavior caused the price of the SUSHI token to plummet.[Note: Chef Nomilater returned all $14 millionin ETH he cashed out.]\nCoinDesk China: Do you think Chef and sushiswap contributed to the project?\nMaki: They just copied Uniswap and YAM’s code, I don’t think they invested a lot in this project. They were more thinking about how to make fast money, without a long-term vision.\nBut I still thank them for giving me an opportunity to participate in this project, though it is forked out of other projects.\nI think SushiSwap could be made into a great project, so I’m willing to continue to support it. In the Ethereum community, I’ve also met a lot of great people, they have always encouraged me and we will continue to build this project together.\nCoinDesk China: After Sam took over management authority, what was the division of labor between you and Sam?\nMaki: Later I will “guide” the development of the entire project. … It is up to the community to make decisions, I only make suggestions.\nCoinDesk China: What is your opinion of Sam’s management authority?\nMaki: I am satisfied with the result. At the very beginning, Chef said he wanted to give management authority to me, but I wasn’t very confident in my own technical strength. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to make SushiSwap’s migration a success.\nLater, I suggested that Chef consider giving management authority to Andrew Kang or Sam, they both have a better understanding of technology, and are also very interested in this project. Sam also holds a lot of SUSHI, so he is financially motivated to do a good job in operating and managing this project.\nAfter the migration is completed and the multi-signature board of directors is determined, I think he will transition from the role of administrator to an ordinary community member. After that, I will mainly be responsible for leading this project to the next stage. Slowly, I will also fade out and gradually decentralize this project.\n• SushiSwap Co-Founder Sees Future Users in China and on Other Blockchains\n• SushiSwap Co-Founder Sees Future Users in China and on Other Blockchains", "Within a week of going online, DeFi project SushiSwap\x92s total value locked (TVL) surpassed $1.5 billion.

Spurred by the rise in popularity of DeFi projects, Ethereum has re-emerged as an industry-leading smart contracts provider, with companies often opting to launch new tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, interest in Ethereum from both institutional and retail investors has risen significantly with daily trade volume hitting a 10-week high of $20 billion on August 2. At the time of writing Ethereum is trading at $391 following a failed attempt at breaking above the critical level of resistance at $400. While the rejection from $400 can be perceived as being bearish, the fact that Ethereum is continuing to trade above 2019’s high of $367 indicates just how strong this rally is from a macro perspective. If Ethereum can begin to close daily and weekly candles above the $440 region it would almost certainly trigger bullish continuation to the upside, with potential price targets emerging at $515 and $624. This would have a profound impact on the rest of the cryptocurrency markets as it would likely drag Bitcoin, which is currently trading at $11,720, up along with it. When analysing the ETH/BTC trading pair it is clear to see that Ethereum has spearheaded this recent rally in terms of USD value, with the world’s second largest cryptocurrency by market cap making a 96.9% gain against Bitcoin since the turn of the year.

He was a researcher and programmer working on Bitcoin Magazine and he initially wrote a whitepaper in 2013 describing Ethereum. Buterin had proposed that Bitcoin needed a scripting language. He decided to develop a new platform with a more general scripting language when he couldn’t get buy-in to his proposal.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.51% on Saturday. Following on from a 0.49% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,458.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $10,415.0 before sliding to an early afternoon intraday low $10,287.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,255, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $10,492.0. Coming up against the first major resistance level at $10,496 and resistance at $10,500, Bitcoin eased back to limit the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%) and Tron’s TRX (-2.39%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Binance Coin surged by 12.08% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.53%), Ethereum (+3.71%), Litecoin (+3.80%), Monero’s XMR (+2.83%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.90%) also found strong support. Cardano’s ADA (+0.73%), EOS (+0.60%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.26%), and Tezos (+0.94%) trailed the pack, however. In the current week, the crypto total market fell to a Tuesday low $297.87bn before rising to a Saturday high $327.48bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $324.97bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 61.28% before falling to a Saturday low 59.17%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.28%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% to $10,435.3. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,461.1 to an early morning low $10,435.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.39%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.94%), and Ripple’s XPR (+0.20%) found support early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 1.28% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,538. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $10,492.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $10,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,617. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,333 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,200. The second major support level at $10,207 should limit any downside.

This week, we were told that the 60-day correlation between gold and bitcoin (BTC) had reached all-time highs. Last week, our monthly report featured a chart of BTC’s correlation with the DXY dollar index. A few weeks before that, the correlation with the S&P 500 was in the headlines. If you feel dizzy from the rapid turns in attention on which correlation metric matters, you’re not alone. But, you had better get used to it because the fascination with BTC’s correlation status is unlikely to fade any time soon. What this reveals about bitcoin is intriguing. It’s not so much the correlation measures per se – they are fun to watch go up and down, but they’re not the deeper story. The deeper story is why it matters so much to us. Related: Blockchain Bites: Big Bitcoin Bets, SushiSwap Drops, bZx Attacked When we point to BTC’s increasing correlation with the S&P 500, gold, avocados or whatever, we are searching for a handle on its prevailing narrative. We hope that correlations will give us a clue. BTC is a difficult asset to pin down. It is a scarce asset like gold, yet with a harder cap. It can be used for pseudonymous transactions, as can cash. It is a speculative holding for many, like equities. It is a bet on a new technology, like a growth stock. It is a hedge against a dollar collapse, a way to spread financial inclusion, an investment in financial evolution, a political statement. It is all of these, or none of these, depending on your intellectual leanings, economic philosophy and mood. The narrative we choose for bitcoin matters, though. Not only does it form our investment thesis around the asset, but it also influences our valuation methods. Do we extrapolate its potential price using the size of the gold market? The payments universe? Transaction fees? Something else entirely? Story continues So, faced with such a slippery narrative, we look to correlations to tell the story. If it’s highly correlated with gold, then the market views it as a safe haven. If it’s more closely correlated to the S&P 500, then it’s a risk-on investment. If bitcoin’s correlation to the dollar index plummets, then it’s a hedge. Related: Bitcoin’s Jump to $10.7K Ends 10-Day Sideways Trend We look to the market to tell us what bitcoin’s narrative is. But this creates a feedback loop (Follow gold! Follow Nasdaq!) that helps to perpetuate bitcoin’s momentum-fueled volatility, and which is often thrown off course by the evolving nature of markets. Make it a good one BTC’s 60-day correlation with the S&P 500 has been coming down recently. That must mean it’s no longer a risk-on asset. Its increasing correlation with gold corroborates that, putting BTC back in the safe haven story. But wait. You’ll have heard that BTC has not had a good run over the past few days. You’ll probably also have heard that Tesla has had a particularly bad time this week. I wonder if they’re correlated. What do you know, it looks like BTC’s correlation with TSLA is increasing!

This excerpt is part of a series of stories, live-streamed conferences and a limited-run pop-up newsletter CoinDesk has created to celebrate Ethereum’s five year anniversary this week. Ethereum’s Devcon 1, held in London in November 2015, was like Woodstock, except perhaps with less nudity. Bankers and Big 4 consultants disguised in hoodies shared space with dreadlocked Ethereum coders, sitting cross-legged in the corners, their laptops open in front of them. Packed into a Victorian banking hall in the heart of the City of London, the audience listened as ConsenSys chief Joe Lubin predicted a new future for firms; cryptographer Nick Szabo talked about decentralization in the context of Francis Drake and the Aztecs; and chief scientist Vitalik Buterin assembled shards of the path that lay ahead. “The internet kind of sucks,” said Ethereum wallet designer Alex Van de Sande during his opening keynote. “It’s centralized, and it’s broken – but we can fix it this week.” Such was the optimism in the room. Keeping with the Woodstock motif, this moment in time possessed a kind of prelapsarian innocence: The DAO debacle and hard fork decision that followed was at least six months away, and further off still was the ICO gold rush. An earlier confab, Berlin’s Devcon 0, preceded Ethereum’s launch. In London, things were starting to get real. Market intel Bitcoin’s Bounce Bitcoin’s futures trading volume recorded triple-digit growth Monday, as institutions and investors raced into a market primed for a bull run. Aggregate daily futures volume on major exchanges reached $43 billion, the highest single-day volume since March 13, according to data source Skew. Daily trading volume on institutional exchange CME rose 570% to a yearly high of $1.32 billion, Bakkt registered a record volume of $132 million and total open interest for all exchanges rose to $5 billion – the highest since February. Yearly Highs: Bitcoin & Gold Bitcoin’s 13% price jump to 2020 highs of $11,180 on Monday came as the dollar’s value slides. This move was in tandem with gold’s newly set all-time high, both of which are referred to as inflation hedges. Bitcoin is up 57% year to date, more than double the 28% gain this year for gold, while the S&P is flat for the year. “Given gold has just set a new all-time high, and with bitcoin’s correlation to stocks breaking down while being replaced by a strong correlation to gold, we envisage further tests to the upside this coming week,” Diginex wrote in a report. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Currency Index, a gauge of the greenback’s value versus other major currencies, has fallen for seven straight sessions. A weakening dollar “mechanically pushes up the prices of the commodities invoiced in greenbacks,” according to the Wall Street Journal. Tech pod Launchpad Before Launch Ethereum developers have released a “validator launchpad” on the Medalla testnet to educate and prepare future validators as part of a multi-stage roll out of Ethereum 2.0. The transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, the core component of Eth 2, is designed to improve the system’s scalability. According to an announcement, three phases of the roll out are planned, with the first, phase 0, focusing on the underlying tech behind staking by tracking validators and their balances. The launchpad, which comes before phase 0, will enable validators to track and deposit test stakes on the upcoming Medalla multi-client testnet. Opinion Millennial Moves Matt Luongo, CEO of Thesis, thinks millennials are shaping the future of money. From fashion to tech, a millennial “desire for autonomy and granular choice” is now extending to finance. “For most of the past hundred years, retail finance was dominated by a small number of regional, and later national, institutions. No more: 71% of millennials would change banks based on the quality of an app, and a full third of us say we won’t need a bank at all in the future,” he writes.

According to wallet addresses tracked byGlassnode, miners are holding a total of more than 1.82 millionbitcoins, setting a two-year high and continuing a noticeable upward trend that began in September 2019. In just the last year, aggregate holdings by miners have increased by roughly 2%, excluding growth from other bitcoin miners not tracked by Glassnode. There are three possible causes for the increase in total bitcoins held by miners: Related:Energy Giant Equinor to Cut Gas Flaring With Bitcoin Mining: Report First, potential optimism that bitcoin’s recent rally will likely continue. • Miners’ holdings data appears to be a bullish signal, according to Thomas Heller, former director at leading mining pool F2Pool, who discussed it with CoinDesk in a private message. Miners seem to feel comfortable holding for a while, he said, possibly in anticipation of a higher price later on. • Miners aren’t the only ones holding more bitcoins, however. The percentage of all bitcoins that have been inactive for at least one year continues to growafter reaching four-year highs in June. Second, the rotation in hardware as miners order, receive and deploy new machines, according to Harry Sudock, vice president of strategy at GRIID, a data center and mining infrastructure company. • This process, which Sudock described as the “hardware cycle,” can take up to six months depending on pricing and order size, he told CoinDesk in a private message. Ultimately, fewer coins need to be sold to cover operational expenses during this retooling period. In addition, with the price of bitcoin so high, relatively few coins need to be sold to pay expenses. • As CoinDesk previously reported, two publicly traded bitcoin companies,Riot BlockchainandMarathon Patent Group, are both in the process of receiving and deploying hundreds of new machines over the next few months as they scale up their mining efforts. • As miners deploy new machines, they also enjoyed a 7% monthly revenue increase in July, according tonetwork dataanalyzed by CoinDesk, thanks to recent price appreciation and increased transaction fees. Last, the total number of coins held by miners has increased as new mining pools accumulate uncharacteristically large amounts of bitcoin. • Most notably, a significant percentage of recent overall growth comes from Lubian.com, a little-known mining pool that was largely inactive until March 2020, whose holdings are nearly on par with F2Pool, a mining pool founded in May 2013. • Over the past few months, the pool’s bitcoin holdings have increased to 9,373 BTC as of Thursday, representing an almost equal percentage gain up from 1 BTC in mid March, according to Glassnode. • The young mining operation controls the tenth-largest amount of the Bitcoin network’s hashrate, according to rankings byBTC.com. • Miners’ Bitcoin Holdings Reach Two-Year High to Almost 2M • Miners’ Bitcoin Holdings Reach Two-Year High to Almost 2M • Miners’ Bitcoin Holdings Reach Two-Year High to Almost 2M... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['The New York Attorney General\x92s office is losing patience with Bitfinex and Tether. NYAG Senior Enforcement Counsel John Castiglione filed a letter Monday ahead of a conference involving the regulator and the two cryptocurrency firms arguing it is time they complied with a 17-month-old document production order detailing financial information within the next two months. For their part, counsel representing the two firms argue the order is too broad and the scope should be limited first. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Investors the Sane Ones as Federal Reserve Cheers Inflation, Price Nears $11K \x93As of this filing, the 354 Order has been in place for seventeen months. In that time, Respondents have produced \x91jurisdictional\x92 documents (as directed by this Court) but failed to produce the core information called for in the Order. The delays must stop, and Respondents should be directed to comply promptly,\x94 Castiglione said. New York State Supreme Court Justice Joel M. Cohen scheduled the hearing for this Thursday, after receiving a request from the New York Attorney General\x92s (NYAG) office last week complaining that Bitfinex and Tether had yet to turn over any documents. According to Castiglione, the NYAG is requesting all documents be submitted within 60 days and an injunction preventing Tether from loaning funds to Bitfinex be extended a further 90 days. Charles Michael, an attorney with Steptoe and Johnson LLP representing Bitfinex, opposed any extension of the injunction in his own letter. \x93The allegedly concealed facts have been out in the open for 17 months, during which consumers have been free to redeem their tethers without restriction,\x94 he wrote. \x93Instead, they have chosen to buy, with tethers\x92 market cap growing six-fold (to over $14 billion).\x94 Related: NY AG Asks Court for New Order to Make Bitfinex Turn Over Tether Loan Documents In his view, the fact that Tether\x92s market cap has increased this dramatically indicates market confidence in the dollar-pegged cryptocurrency, and negates the justification for the injunction. Story continues \x93Consumers are well protected today, and do not need [the Attorney General\x92s] injunction. The loan transaction supposedly impairing tether \x92s reserves was over 25% of tether\x92s backing at the time of the injunction, but, thanks to Bitfinex\x92s repayments and tether\x92s growth, the balance now is less than 4% of tether\x92s backing,\x94 Michael wrote. He added that tether\x92s assets exceed the amount of USDT issued by $160 million. 17 months It has indeed been a long journey. The case began in April 2019, when the Attorney General\x92s office said Bitfinex had lost access to close to $1 billion in customer funds, and borrowed from Tether\x92s reserves. The stablecoin issuer shares corporate owners and executives with Bitfinex, though in various legal filings counsel for the companies said the loan and a subsequent line of credit were negotiated independently of each other. The NYAG won an injunction preventing Tether from sending any more funds to Bitfinex, and Cohen ordered the firms to share all documentation about the deals, as well as documents about tether issuances, among other concerns. Bitfinex and Tether appealed the ruling, but lost the appeal in July. Earlier this month, the NYAG\x92s office asked to schedule Thursday\x92s conference to request a new production order with a strict timeline. Monday\x92s letter provided more information. The NYAG wants Bitfinex and Tether to produce purchase information for tether, U.S. dollar withdrawal requests, tax documents and account information within one week. Read more: NY AG Asks Court for New Order to Make Bitfinex Turn Over Tether Loan Documents Within a month, the NYAG wants communications about Tether\x92s loans, loans to third parties and a list of U.S. or New York customers who had funds on Crypto Capital, and within 60 days it wants \x93full production\x94 of information related to a November 2018 subpoena, a February 2019 letter and jurisdictional documents. The original production order from 2019 called for the materials to be ready within a month, Castiglione said. \x93Most of the materials called for are core business documents that should exist and be readily accessible: order and trade information, client lists, lists of bank accounts and their balances, tax returns, and other similar material,\x94 the letter said, adding that, \x93the 354 Order is well over a year old and the appeal was decided two months ago.\x94 Michael wrote that some of the requests would require Bitfinex or Tether to \x93generate reports, accountings or answer questions\x94 that do not currently exist. \x91Extensive ties\x92 The NYAG also preemptively stated its opposition to any narrowing of the judge\x92s order, noting that \x93respondents have stated they will move this court\x94 to do so. According to Castiglione, the court\x92s role in the case is limited beyond the orders already signed, and the production demand is well within the NYAG\x92s authority under the Martin Act, the law it\x92s using to conduct its inquiry into Bitfinex. Michael\x92s opposition letter wrote that the court could limit the scope to avoid unduly burdening the respondents, in this case Bitfinex and Tether. The court itself has already said that any \x93unreasonable or not terribly relevant\x94 requests can be opposed. Bitfinex is arguing that a request for all documents about all tether transactions is overbroad. Michael likened it to \x93asking GM for all documents about cars.\x94 The NYAG is also looking for documents outside its jurisdiction, he claimed. In his brief, Michael wrote that the proposed timeline should be denied. Instead, he proposed a 30-day period for the two parties to discuss the scope of the request, saying Bitfinex and Tether would produce documents \x93not subject to dispute\x94 in the meantime. Read more: Tether, Bitfinex File Motion to Dismiss Market Manipulation Lawsuit He seemingly pushed back against the NYAG\x92s claims that insufficient documents have been produced, writing that the crypto firms have produced more than 70,000 documents so far. \x93Bitfinex and Tether also voluntarily produced extensive information to OAG, even while the First Department stay was in effect, including via two multihour presentations and a series of other communications aimed at answering directly the questions OAG indicated it was most interested in having answered,\x94 Michael wrote. He also noted that Bitfinex and Tether announced a ban on all New York customers nearly three years ago. Castiglione, in contrast, wrote that an investigation into Tether and tether is proper, \x93given their [respondents] extensive ties to the state.\x94 In his view, the appeals court\x92s ruling in the NYAG\x92s favor suggested the regulator could find additional information that would reveal further violations of the law.

The loan transaction supposedly impairingtether’s reserves was over 25% of tether’s backing at the time of the injunction, but, thanks to Bitfinex’s repayments and tether’s growth, the balance now is less than 4% of tether’s backing,” Michael wrote.\nHe added that tether’s assets exceed the amount of USDT issued by $160 million.\nIt has indeed been a long journey. The case began in April 2019, when the Attorney General’s office said Bitfinex had lost access to close to $1 billion in customer funds, and borrowed from Tether’s reserves. The stablecoin issuer shares corporate owners and executives with Bitfinex, though in various legal filings counsel for the companies said the loan and a subsequent line of credit were Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9151.39, 9159.04, 9185.82, 9164.23, 9374.89, 9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The biggest crypto haters are now getting in on the action, most famously JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. Ether, the Pepsi to bitcoin’s Coca-Cola , came into its own as a separate, distinct and viable long term investment. Many investors are beginning to view cryptocurrency as more than a short term speculation play or a portfolio hedge. There is evidence that the major cryptocurrencies are being used as a play against the falling U.S. dollar. News of Bitcoin’s new highs came at around the same time as headlines of dollar debasement During the first mania in December 2017, bitcoin peaked at almost $20,000. Total market capitalization tripled from approximately $250 billion to $750 billion and barged into the mainstream public consciousness. Unfortunately for some traders, the market sold off just as quickly as it had pumped itself up. The total market cap for the crypto market Why Crypto is Here to Stay This Time Professional analysts don’t believe that crypto will give back its gains so quickly this time. I tend to agree. The major difference between 2017 and 2020 is crypto’s ease of access. When I first bought crypto circa 2015, it was a real David Hasselhoff. The exchange I used, Coinbase, was clunky, slow and illiquid. I was so frustrated with my experience there that I immediately moved my crypto into a private wallet and didn’t buy again for a time. Moving my coins into an off exchange wallet was an experience as well. I remember downloading the entire blockchain to my computer because there were few trustworthy light wallets, and even less information actually explaining what that meant. I bought a separate computer just for my bitcoin. I tried my best to learn hashes and forks. I remember thinking I was a financial genius for being able to capture and claim my Bitcoin Cash. It was a challenge for me! Story continues Today, Coinbase is a much better experience than I remember, and so are many other exchanges. I now have three wallets that are not only easy to use, but are actually fun to use. Fees have been reduced. Trading coins against each other is more like a video game. It is easy to switch coins. You can move in real time, fast enough to catch short term moves. I can basically trade my crypto just like I trade my securities. What’s more, the “establishment” has bought in. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) now offers futures contracts on bitcoin . Banks fought for and received the right to hold crypto quite recently. Pop singer Akon is building an entire city in Senegal based around his own coin, the Akoin. Megacompanies like Facebook and countries like Russia are now trying to create crypto rather than kill it. Regardless of which coins pass the test of time, digital currency has legs. It is here to stay. All the market has to do is attract people in. When it comes to easy access in the crypto market, few platforms give you an easier time than eToro. eToro deals in contracts for differences (CFDs) that serve as proxies for top cryptocurrencies . What’s the difference? When you buy or sell a CFD, you actually never own the crypto. But since the price of the contract is tagged to the price of the coin, you do benefit from good trades and suffer losses for bad ones. CFDs Versus Crypto So what are the benefits of trading CFDs rather than “real” crypto? First, you are trading on a highly liquid platform with easy entries and exits. Many crypto exchanges suffer from illiquidity and volatile price shifts. You also gain the safety of trading within the auspices of a regulated broker. eToro is regulated through many well known financial authorities including the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and holds as Australian Financial Services License. Second, you don’t have to worry about actually buying crypto, which can still be a hassle. Governments are doing their best to regulate crypto, and they are clamping down on the exchanges — the onboard ramps. As a result, you have to go through a bureaucracy of sorts to legitimately enter the market. You lose your anonymity, which was the first major advantage of using crypto in the first place. Third, you can easily trade crypto using leverage. Your limit on eToro is 2X when you trade cryptocurrencies. Getting in on the Game As it was in 2017, bitcoin is the number one performing asset class in 2020. This time, society may actually be ready to embrace it. If you are looking for a quick way to get in the market without learning all of the nuances of crypto, eToro CFDs can help.

Diplomatic officials have now called for an investigation into the incident, claiming posts that appeared to have been clicked by its ambassador Liu Xiaoming were the work of "anti-China elements" that used "despicable methods to deceive the public." \n\nScreenshots of the offending Twitter posts, which have since been unliked, have spread on the site over the past day after being shared by a human rights campaigner.\n\nAlongside the adult content, a second post that showed up as \'liked\' included an image taken from drone footage allegedly showing blindfolded Uighur Muslims.\n\nAnother, which included the terms "Free Hong Kong" and "Free the Uighurs," accused China of murdering its own citizens "without condemnation by the world."\n\nSome Twitter users who claimed to have scoured Lui\'s likes on the platform suggested the U.K. ambassador\'s account had a long history of \'liking\' unexpected content\n\n As social media chatter about the incident mounted, China\'s U.K. embassy released a statement denying the likes were by Liu, and urged the public not to speculate.\n\n"Recently, some anti-China elements viciously attacked Ambassador Liu Xiaoming\'s Twitter account and employed despicable methods to deceive the public," it said.\n\n"The Chinese Embassy strongly condemns such abominable behavior. The Embassy has reported this to Twitter company and urged the latter to make thorough investigations and handle this matter seriously. The Embassy reserves the right to take further actions and hope that the public will not believe or spread such rumor."\n\nTwitter, which remains banned in China but is used by select government officials, has declined to comment about the possibility the account was hacked. It\'s possible to use the \'like\' feature to bookmark posts, and can also be tapped by mistake.\n\nIn July, the social network was successfully targeted by bitcoin scammers who were able to compromise high-profile accounts including Elon Musk and Bill Gates.\n\nAccording to its bio, Liu\'s account was created in October last year. It currently shows he has liked two posts, from 2019. The profile that originally posted the adult content remains active. Roughly translated, it\'s bio reads: "Beautiful legs in stockings."\n\nDespite overwhelming evidence, information leaks and first-person accounts of trauma, the Chinese government has repeatedly denied detaining vast numbers of people inside high-security facilities against their will in the western region of Xinjiang.\n\nThe U.K. ambassador previously defended his country\'s human rights record during an interview with the BBC back in July, asserting that the Uighur people live in "peaceful and harmonious coexistence with other ethnic groups.\n\nWhen confronted with evidence at the time, including a testimony from a woman who said she had suffered forced sterilization, Liu blamed "anti-China elements."\n\nAfter the embassy statement was released, the diplomat did not directly mention the incident but tweeted a proverb: "A good anvil does not fear the hammer."

Of the top 30 most actively traded securities on the OTCQX Market last month, the names with the greatest month-over-month increases in volume all fit into three buckets: cannabis, crypto, and gold. North and South American mining company GoldMining Inc. (OTCQX: GLDLF ) experienced the greatest increase from July to August, as dollar volume rose 344%. Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund LLC (OTCQX: GDLC ) followed with a 312% monthly increase, while Trulieve Cannabis Corporation (OTCQX: TCNNF ) and Green Thumb Industries Inc. (OTCQX: GTBIF ) increased 163% and 112% respectively. The pattern is hardly a surprise. In an industry buoyed by the fact that many dispensaries were allowed to remain open during quarantine, Trulieve and Green Thumb have been among the best-performing cannabis companies this year. Both companies have seen their shares rise over 300% from the bottom in mid-March. And with the major indexes rising to new all-time highs in the midst of a global pandemic, some investors have sought alternatives to U.S. equities\x97such as gold and cryptocurrencies. Along with GLDC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: GBTC ) and Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (OTCQX: ETCG ) also saw dollar volume rise 31% and 45% respectively during the month. In all, two of the top three most actively traded securities on OTCQX in July were crypto-related securities from Grayscale, and five of the top 10 are involved in cannabis.

Bakkt’s back?Growing institutional interest ishelping to drive a recent spike in volumeon Bakkt, according to its president, Adam White. Trading volumes for physically settledbitcoinfutures on Bakkt rose to $134 million on Tuesday from a previous high of $132 million on July 28, Muyao Shen reports. Physically settled means buyers receive tokens at expiration instead of cash. “It’s not a bet on the price of bitcoin,” White said. “It doesn’t rely on an index price created from unregulated spot markets that are self-reporting their data.” Despite the recent surge, Bakkt still lags behind CME Group, a bigger, U.S.-regulated exchange. Data shows the aggregated daily volumes of bitcoin futures on Bakkt and the CME were at $279 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, on Monday. Related:First Mover: Huobi Takes on OKEx in Futures, Opening New Front in 'Chinese' Rivalry Mongolian mining moratorium?Over20 bitcoin mining farms in China’s Inner Mongolia have been stripped of electricity perksafter a clampdown by the local government. A document issued by the Department of Industrial and Information Technology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Aug. 24, shows the government agency suspended electricity discounts provided by the state-owned regional energy trading firm, following onsite inspections that found many supposed data centers were actually bitcoin mining facilities. With the policy change, electricity costs could reach 0.38 yuan per kWh ($0.054), up from 0.26–0.28 yuan per kWh ($0.037 to $0.040), CoinDesk’s Wolfie Zhou reports. Venezuela’s crypto economyA new Chainalysis report focused on Latin America foundVenezuela ranks third in the world for crypto adoption,behind Ukraine and Russia. Venezuela has adopted a crypto-friendly attitude amid crippling sanctions and hyperinflation, though most retail usage is happening through peer-to-peer marketplaces, not government-approved exchanges. State-owned Criptolago, one of only seven exchanges with government approval, saw $380,000 in dollar-adjusted volume over the last year compared to LocalBitcoins’ $242 million over the same period. Client centralizationA “critical bug” has left13% of Ethereum nodesuseless, and it could take weeks or months to fix. Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum versions 2.7 and later contain a bug that stops nodes from syncing with the $43 billion network’s latest block. Clients are different programming language implementations of blockchain software, a way to strengthen the network by having concurrent yet separate systems running. This bug has highlighted the issue of client centralization, as Ethereum Foundation-backed Geth client now supports some 80% of the Ethereum network, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Wild predictionsTyler and Cameron Winklevoss, early crypto investors and founders of Gemini,believe weakness in the U.S. financial system and other factors mean bitcoin could one day reach $500,000per coin. In a post on the Winklevoss Capital blog Thursday, the two set out outlined “fundamental problems” with gold, oil, and the U.S. dollar as stores of value. “Even before COVID-19, and despite the longest bull run in U.S. economic history, the government was spending money like a drunken sailor, cutting taxes like Crazy Eddie, and printing money like a banana republic,” the brothers write. They recently met with prominent day-trader Dave Portnoy and told him gold could be devalued if figures like Elon Musk begin gold mining asteroids. • WhistleblowerKidnapped in UkraineAfter Accusing Crypto Firm of Exit Scam (Anna Baydakova/CoinDesk) • YouTube’sWhac-a-Mole Approach to Crypto ScamAds Remains a Problem (Ben Powers/CoinDesk) • US Files Suit AgainstCrypto Accounts Tied to North Korea(Danny Nelson/CoinDesk) • Tesla’s Gigafactory hit by Failed HackWanting BitcoinRansom (Shaurya Malwa/Decrypt) • When ETF?

This could signal increased bullishness about future gains, CoinDesk’s Zack Voell said. Miners are holding more than 1.82 million bitcoins, an increase of roughly 2% in the last year, according to data from Glassnode. In fact, this is part of a larger trend, where the percentage of all inactive bitcoin (meaning it hasn’t been traded or cashed in) hit a four-year high last spring. Thomas Heller, former director at leading mining pool F2Pool, said this was a bullish indicator, as it appears holders may be anticipating a higher price. To be sure, no one is clairvoyant, but we’re talking about market sentiment. But there is another technical reason miners, in particular, may be holding: mining factories are in a cycle of deploying newer mining machines. This phase in the “hardware cycle” means operation expenses have decreased, and therefore, so has the number of bitcoin sold to cover those expenses, Harry Sudock, vice president of strategy at GRIID, said. Presumably, costs would have spiked months ago, when miners were ordering the machines now being deployed. As miners deploy new machines, they also enjoyed a 7% monthly revenue increase in July, according to network data analyzed by CoinDesk, thanks to recent price appreciation and increased transaction fees.

Hedges growBitcoin and gold arereversing losses seen on Thursday after the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a more relaxed approach to tackling inflationsent a tremor across the markets. Bitcoin rebounded back above $11,450 on Friday, erasing nearly 70% of the decline from $11,594 to $11,141 yesterday. Gold, too, has risen back to $1,960, having dropped to $1,910 after the event. “Powell’s speech suggests that there is no end in sight [for the Fed’s easy money policy],” John Kramer, trader at GSR, said. Put simply, Powell’s speech looks to have strengthened bitcoin’s long-term bullish case, CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole reports. WabiSabi lobbyPrivacy-focusedBitcoin software wallet Wasabi is working on a new protocol design, dubbed WabiSabi, to improve the user experience and privacyof the wallet’s CoinJoin transactions, CoinDesk tech reporter Colin Harper reports. The major design change would allow users to coinjoin with different values than their peers, a first for the technology, reduce the role of a centralized coordinator and potentially enable CoinJoin sends to other users. This process would operate in the background if it runs the way Wasabi envisions it, opening up the possibility to make “every spend a CoinJoin.” Fee-lessUSD Coin (USDC) hasintegrated “meta transactions” to the stablecoin platform to eliminate feespaid to the Ethereum blockchain when sending money around. “This enables people to fund their non-custodial wallets withUSDCand start using DeFi/dapps without also having to ownETH,” Coinbase developer Peter Jihoon Kim said. Adopted as part of a protocol update, USDC 2.0, the Centre Consortium also announced a new on-chain signature system, CoinDesk’s Will Foxley reports. Founded by Coinbase and Circle, USDC is the second-largest stablecoin by market cap at $1.4 billion.

Today's Key News: ['More than 30,000 immigration documents regarding thousands of migrants detained in three South Florida detention centers during the COVID-19 pandemic will be classified as confidential, a Miami judge ruled Wednesday. During a court hearing held by phone, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman granted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\x92s request to keep about 30,000 documents \x97 or nearly 100,000 pages\x92 worth of emails, letters and documents that ICE had marked as confidential \x97 unavailable to the public, at least for now. \x93If we had the luxury of time and we had many months ... I would say that it seems like [ICE] made too broad of a use of the confidential designation and I would go back and ask [ICE] to review all those designations and then come up with a revised production, eliminating those confidential designations which [they] incorrectly used. But we don\x92t have that luxury of time,\x94 Goodman said. \x93But under the present scenario, I\x92m not going to require it,\x94 he said. \x93But things change. ... This is subject to be revisited.\x94 He noted that depositions in the ongoing class-action lawsuit \x97 which seeks the release of thousands of immigration detainees who are held, or have been held, at the Krome Processing Center in West Miami-Dade, the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach and the Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic \x97 will begin next week. Though the documents marked confidential by ICE won\x92t be visible in the public docket, attorneys representing the detainees will have access to them, but will be prohibited from discussing them with anyone outside their legal teams. The six national immigration law firms representing the detainees \x97 the University of Miami\x92s immigration law clinic, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Rapid Defense Network in New York, Americans for Immigrant Justice, the Legal Aid Service of Broward County, and Washington, D.C.-based law firm King & Spalding \x97 told the judge that the decision to keep the documents confidential \x93complicates\x94 their ability to use them as the case moves toward the upcoming trial, which is scheduled for January 2021. Story continues During Wednesday\x92s hearing \x97 which was interrupted by the sounds of untraceable and random disco music \x97 ICE also requested permission to redact about 7,000 of the 30,000 documents, specifically emails, group chats and internal memos that would reveal decision-making conversations about internal protocols and people held in detention. Goodman denied that request, but ruled that the agency could redact content that would disclose law enforcement techniques that could compromise public safety. He emphasized that ICE would have to let him know by Thursday exactly what officials plan on redacting and to avoid \x93nitpicking irrelevant minutiae.\x94 Details on the contents of documents were not discussed. In July, U.S. District Court Judge Marcia Cooke appointed an independent fact-finder to investigate possible \x93inhumane conditions, deliberate indifference and cruel and unusual punishment\x94 at Krome, BTC and Glades. The designation of a \x93special master\x94 was in response to a motion filed by immigration lawyers accusing ICE of violating the courts\x92 April 2020 order. The accusations included: co-mingling COVID-positive detainees with individuals who have not been confirmed as having the disease, failing to provide cleaning supplies and masks to detainees and not educating detainees about the pandemic. The detainees and their attorneys also accuse the agency of not promoting or enforcing social distancing within the detention centers. As of Wednesday, ICE data shows that 182 have tested positive for COVID-19 at Krome, 132 tested positive at Broward and 164 at Glades.

I would say that it seems like [ICE] made too broad of a use of the confidential designation and I would go back and ask [ICE] to review all those designations and then come up with a revised production, eliminating those confidential designations which [they] incorrectly used. But we don\x92t have that luxury of time,\x94 Goodman said. \x93But under the present scenario, I\x92m not going to require it,\x94 he said. \x93But things change. ... This is subject to be revisited.\x94 He noted that depositions in the ongoing class-action lawsuit \x97 which seeks the release of thousands of immigration detainees who are held, or have been held, at the Krome Processing Center in West Miami-Dade, the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach and the Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic \x97 will begin next week. Though the documents marked confidential by ICE won\x92t be visible in the public docket, attorneys representing the detainees will have access to them, but will be prohibited from discussing them with anyone outside their legal teams. The six national immigration law firms representing the detainees \x97 the University of Miami\x92s immigration law clinic, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Rapid Defense Network in New York, Americans for Immigrant Justice, the Legal Aid Service of Broward County, and Washington, D.C.-based law firm King & Spalding \x97 told the judge that the decision to keep the documents confidential \x93complicates\x94 their ability to use them as the case moves toward the upcoming trial, which is scheduled for January 2021. Story continues During Wednesday\x92s hearing \x97 which was interrupted by the sounds of untraceable and random disco music \x97 ICE also requested permission to redact about 7,000 of the 30,000 documents, specifically emails, group chats and internal memos that would reveal decision-making conversations about internal protocols and people held in detention. Goodman denied that request, but ruled that the agency could redact content that would disclose law enforcement techniques that could compromise public safety. He emphasized that ICE would have to let him know by Thursday exactly what officials plan on redacting and to avoid \x93nitpicking irrelevant minutiae.\x94 Details on the contents of documents were not discussed. In July, U.S. District Court Judge Marcia Cooke appointed an independent fact-finder to investigate possible \x93inhumane conditions, deliberate indifference and cruel and unusual punishment\x94 at Krome, BTC and Glades. The designation of a \x93special master\x94 was in response to a motion filed by immigration lawyers accusing ICE of violating the courts\x92 April 2020 order. The accusations included: co-mingling COVID-positive detainees with individuals who have not been confirmed as having the disease, failing to provide cleaning supplies and masks to detainees and not educating detainees about the pandemic. The detainees and their attorneys also accuse the agency of not promoting or enforcing social distancing within the detention centers. As of Wednesday, ICE data shows that 182 have tested positive for COVID-19 at Krome, 132 tested positive at Broward and 164 at Glades.

The OCC published an interpretive letter Wednesday announcing that in its view, nationally chartered banks are able to provide custody services for cryptocurrencies, a move that the industry widely praised as one that could help mainstream adoption of crypto, even though it’s unclear as to whether banks will immediately act on the regulatory clarification. This development is likely to be very positive for the digital assets space, but major U.S. banks probably won’t be holding Bitcoin any time soon. Related: Crypto Bank Hopeful Bitcoin Suisse Raises $48M in First-Ever Round Congressman Darren Soto (D-Fla.) told CoinDesk in a phone call that the letter was “an important step” to better integrate cryptocurrencies into the U.S. financial system, though he cautioned that “the federal government is still behind in incorporating” cryptocurrency. “We support further integration of cryptocurrency into the financial system, including allowing the major financial institutions to hold this currency. It’ll lead to further legitimization of crypto,” he said. Across the aisle, Representative Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) agreed, telling CoinDesk in an emailed statement that providing custody is “a big step forward” for financial innovation. Both representatives are members of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus. Related: Wyoming-Based Avanti to Open in October With a New Bank-Issued Digital Asset “[Acting Comptroller] Brian Brook’s work should serve as a guiding light forward for the rest of our patchwork of financial regulators,” Emmer said. A number of aspects of the letter make it interesting, said a Congressional staffer, who advises a lawmaker on fintech issues and asked for their name to be withheld. The first was its rapid release, given Brooks just took the job in May. The staffer said a number of lawmakers will claim that insufficient research was put into the benefits or detriments of the move. Even the bullish Soto noted that the OCC’s announcement seemed hurried. “We’ve seen some things rushed throughout the Trump administration so this isn’t particularly surprising,” Soto said, though he added, “it’s been a long time coming. This should have happened months or years ago.” The Congressional staffer added that the form of the letter is interesting, in that it’s not an announcement or a rule. “It looks like it’s an interpretive letter, which maybe a specific bank asked for … and that’s fairly normal practice if regulations are a little ambiguous but usually … you don’t issue it writ large.” Story continues Starting a conversation Up until now, the lack of regulatory clarity has meant mainstream financial firms like Fidelity have managed to get into crypto, but only by going the long way around and creating a separate legal entity, such as Fidelity Digital Assets. The OCC letter provides clarity so that banks can get closer to crypto without worrying about regulatory uncertainty. “People who are supportive of crypto and blockchain technology will see this as a very positive step, and the more skeptical crowd, this’ll further entrench their viewpoint,” the Congressional staffer said. “I think there’s a very large group of politicians who have never thought about this, so that’s the real benefit is it’ll start that discussion.” Ron Hammond, a former aide to Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), agreed that the move might force a conversation around crypto, but noted that neither major party – Democrats or Republicans – currently have a platform around financial technology or digital assets. He expects Democrats as a party to come out against the move, he told CoinDesk in a phone call. “Democrats already are skeptical of banks [and] they’re even more skeptical of digital assets, so you put those two together and you have a pretty big policy storm of mistrust in the system,” he said. Anti-money laundering and know-your-customer concerns may be brought up, along with the fact that Brian Brooks, the current Acting Comptroller of the Currency, has been neither formally nominated nor confirmed to his role. The conversation about crypto will not be limited to Capitol Hill. Alex Batlin, CEO of digital asset custody provider Trustology, and a former blockchain lead at BNY Mellon and UBS, told CoinDesk he expects there to be “a lot more conversations” about crypto in various company boardrooms this coming fall. Open door A number of barriers still remain before any nationally chartered banks are able to actually offer crypto custody services. Hammond said that while the letter might provide cover for smaller banks, major ones would need more reassurance before they’d be willing to enter the space. “I don’t expect you will see much change in the next three to four months, but then we might see some acceleration thereafter,” Batlin said. “I expect that after the summer, this will come up as banks will be holding investment committees for funding approvals for the next year.” There are also concerns around whether the letter can provide binding guidance. The Congressional staffer noted that the relevant statutes could be interpreted differently by another administration, meaning a future letter or rulemaking process could tell banks the opposite of Wednesday’s missive. Still, the OCC’s overtures open the door for much less risky and cheaper routes into crypto for big banks, said Batlin. The way banks are likely to dip their toes in is by going the sub-custody route, he said, by partnering with small specialist organizations. “That’s exactly what a global custodian like BNY Mellon does anyway,” Batlin said. “Now that this activity is going to be regulated, I expect the cheapest solution for bigger banks is to have some kind of semi-derisked trial of this is to use someone as a sub-custodian.” Following Europe The OCC letter brings the U.S. closer to the situation in Germany, where lawmakers provided clarity that essentially eased restrictions on banks providing custody of crypto assets. Germany’s Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) released guidance earlier this year clarifying how firms based outside the nation could still provide custody services within Germany’s borders and remain in compliance with international law, such as the European Union’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive. “The U.S. is following Europe, and the use cases are unlikely to be crypto coins,” said Phil Mochan, co-founder of Koine, a London-based custody and post-trade settlement solution for digital assets. “The banks in Germany are all saying they are not going to touch crypto coins, but are interested in primary issuance of securities on behalf of their clients.” Mochan pointed out that simply providing cold storage of crypto keys does not resolve any of the post-trade activities needed for standard market infrastructure, which involves the emergence of blockchain-enabled central securities depositories (CSDs). Election approaching Back in the U.S., the upcoming presidential election is one wild card that might determine whether the next Comptroller reverses the decision or not. “I don’t see a situation where a [Republican President Donald] Trump nominee, whether he be Brooks or someone else, would overturn this but I can see a situation in a [Democratic Presidential nominee Joe] Biden administration where this gets overturned,” he said. That’s not to say a potential Biden administration would for sure overturn the move, and it’s unlikely to be a key priority, but the uncertainty remains. “There’s no notice or comments, [no] input [from] the industry,” Hammond said. “I can see a Biden administration being more concerned about that and probably striking down the [letter].” Soto said Congress needed to take action to bring further clarity, starting with passing the Token Taxonomy Act (which Hammond wrote while working for Davidson) and the Digital Taxonomy Act (which Soto sponsored). “We need to pass both those bills to establish basic definitions and jurisdiction so there’s no overreach by agencies and there’s more certainty,” he said. “I continue to be troubled by the fact that many new cryptocurrency firms have to spend [millions] due to the complex rules in the United States and that’s because we’ve left it solely to the agencies.” Related Stories Banks Won’t Rush to Hold Crypto – But OCC’s Regulatory Approval Makes It Harder to Ignore Banks Won’t Rush to Hold Crypto – But OCC’s Regulatory Approval Makes It Harder to Ignore View comments... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/brnrmbo', 'Old Missoula sub is locked.', 31, '2020-09-17 00:12', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/MissoulaMontana/comments/iu62ar/old_missoula_sub_is_locked/', 'Hello fellow Missoulians, as reported on [r/subredditdrama](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/itzmhh/mod_of_rmissoula_locks_comments_sub_wide_because/), the old Missoula subreddit is locked.

This decision is directly related to the presence of PCBs in the air discovered during our ReEnvisioning project and has nothing to do with COVID. During this time, classes will continue online for BHS students and we will work to identify new spaces for in-person learning for Burlington Technical Center. \n\n \n\nThis morning Board Chair Wool, Director of Property Services Marty Spaulding, our ReEnvisioning consultants, and I met with representatives from EPA, Vermont Department of Health (DOH), Vermont Department of Natural Resources, and the Agency of Education to discuss the results of air quality sampling that are now available on our website. \n\n \n\nWhile we had initially been encouraged that the air testing was below the EPA guidelines of 500 nanograms per meter, the DOH levels of standards are 15 nanograms per meter and they made a strong recommendation that we not return to BHS or BTC without further diagnosing and mitigating the issue of PCB's in the air. The EPA was in agreement with this recommendation and noted that their standards often serve as more of a starting point after which they recommend further testing and conversation. After listening to the recommendations, conversation, and concerns, I made the difficult decision to keep our building closed to in-person learning and, beginning immediately, any personnel non-essential to the testing, mitigation, or maintenance processes. \n\n \n\nThe exception to this is the kitchen and cafeteria. These rooms have all come in under the Department of Health's allowable levels and both the DOH and the EPA have said we should feel okay continuing to use these spaces for our District food preparation but should keep an eye on the spaces and include them in future testing. This is good news for us as a District, as the kitchen at BHS is used to prepare food for many students and community members, not just our BHS population. \n\n\nI know this news must come as a shock to many of you, and I know that many students are likely very disappointed to once again be missing out on so many in-person connections. I want to assure you that we will work as fast and as hard as we can to get students back into our buildings as soon as we can. At the same time, our conversations this morning underscored that even the least-costly mitigation options will be expensive and time-consuming. \n\n\nAt BHS, our best-case scenario is that this process will take at least four months. For BTC, we expect the process to last significantly longer, which is why we are working to identify alternative spaces for these hands-on programs. As I balance the safety of staff and students with the desire to return to in-person learning, I also want to assure our community that I will be keeping a close eye on our financial obligations and our needs to complete the BHS/BTC ReEnvisioning project and be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. \n\n\nFor our staff and teachers, I know that many of you have concerns. Our Human Resources team is actively working with our insurance and benefits providers to explore what these results mean and how we can help and support you. Please expect more information from HR in the next few weeks. \n\n\nFinally, I want to thank you all - parents, students, staff, and our community for your patience and understanding through this process. I know this a lot of information and it is not what you were hoping or expecting to hear this week. I have previously shared a factsheet regarding PCBs and am including it again here. Our partners at the State are prepared to continue to answer questions about PCB exposure and District staff are prepared to continue to answer questions about the ReEnvisioning project, as well as online learning and curriculum. \n\n\nPlease stay in touch and stay engaged as we go through this process together. \n\n\nSincerely, \n\nTom \n\n--\nOffice of the Superintendent \| Burlington School District\n150 Colchester Avenue \| Burlington, VT 05401 \n(office) 802.864.8474 \| (fax) 802.864.8501 \| www.bsdvt.org\n\nFollow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @btvschools", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/', 'iu8kqu', [['u/cesare980', 29, '2020-09-17 02:37', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/g5j6gc3/', 'So can we like build a new high school now?', 'iu8kqu'], ['u/friedmpa', 15, '2020-09-17 02:47', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/g5j7k8h/', 'so what happens when a ton of people have debilitating health effects for the next 50 years...', 'iu8kqu'], ['u/orangekrush19', 24, '2020-09-17 03:07', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/iu8kqu/bhs_closed_indefinitely/g5j9m7r/', 'Burlington can’t catch a break in 2020...good lord.

Marathon Patent Group(NASDAQ:MARA) stock is one to avoid. At its inception in 2012 it was a patent companyfounded on a portfolio of three patentsand one application. In August 2017 Marathon announced it intended to also pursue potentialalternative businesses. Then, in November 2017, it acquired Global Bit Ventures, cementing its current direction as a crypto miner. Since then MARA stock has rattled off three years of successive losses. Source: Shutterstock Clearly this is a company that is in chaos looking for hope. The chances of it finding that hope look very, very slim. The company’s latest news does, however, leave a slight possibility. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Since Marathon Patent Group pivoted business to cryptomining, MARA stock has seen three distinct peaks. First, at the announcing of its new direction, the stock shot up. It then sharply decreased to around $1 within its first five months of cryptomining. It mostly proceeded to remain under a dollar for the next year. In April 2019 it enacted a 4-for-1 reverse stock split pushing shares above theNasdaq’s$1 minimum price listing requirement. Again, Marathon shares ratcheted down to below a dollar and the company was facing NASDAQ listing trouble. The company undertook a series of mining computer purchases, issued stock, and acquired a separate mining company. These moves, along with recent price appreciation in cryptos, managed to bring shares above $5. They have since retreated to their current price of $2.50. • 10 Blue-Chip Stocks Ideal for Any Investor This clear pattern of boom and quick retreat has defined MARA stock ever since it became a crypto mining company. Marathon Patent Group has essentially been buying more computers so that they have more capacity to mine. Their business model is relatively simple: hope that you can mine more Bitcoin in value than its costs. Energy costs and computer costs are relatively predictable, Bitcoin much less so. MyInvestorPlacecolleague Thomas Yeung laid out the inherent misdirection of Marathon Patent Group’s business plan inhis recent article. The previous three years do look like a strategy of taking what hasn’t worked, and then deciding to scale it up. That’s a recipe for increasing losses. However, there has been news out of the company of late which, if true, could change the fundamental investment attractiveness of MARA stock. On Aug. 26 the company announced its intent to acquire Fastblock Mining. The company is making some pretty big claims about the fundamental changes this will bring. First, Marathon Patent Group states their current cost to mine one Bitcoin is $7,400. It also contends that upon this deal being consummated, the cost will drop to $3,600 per Bitcoin. They believe this will increase their monthly revenues to about $4 million. This steep decrease comes from a low electricity cost of $0.0285 per KwH in the new location. Past financial statements raise many, many red flags. This company has not managed to make money so far. And investors really have to ask themselves, is the stated $4 million in monthly revenue really feasible? The company had $1.185 million in revenue inallof 2019 from 26,700 square feet of operations. Now with 40,000 additional sq.ft, revenues will increase to $48 million annually? They should rise essentially in a linear fashion. But they’ve jumped exponentially while Marathon Patent Groups square footage has increased by 150% (26,700 to 66,700). Maybe the bitcoin prices will hold true to their projections and they’ll see their revenues turn positive. But given their track record, it makes more sense to side with me and avoid this stock.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.29% on Saturday. Following a 0.02% slip on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,098. It was a range-bound start to the day. Bitcoin dipped to a late morning intraday low $10,920.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,834, Bitcoin struck a mid-day intraday high $11,185.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,073 before easing back. Coming up against the second major resistance level at $11,188, Bitcoin fell back through the first major resistance level to sub-$11,040 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $11,090 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest visit to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Binance Coin (-1.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.70%), Litecoin (-0.14%), Tezos (-2.79%), and Tron’s TRX (-4.81%) saw red on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC (0.10%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.56%), EOS (+0.47%), Ethereum (+0.16%), Monero’s XMR (+2.11%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.17%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.28%) joined Bitcoin in the green. In the current week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $314.21bn before rising to a Saturday high $341.59bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $336.10bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 59.64% to a Wednesday high 61.56%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.89%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.13% to $11,084.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,098.0 to a low $11,081.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.31%) and Tezos (+0.28%) bucked the trend with modest gains early on. It was a bearish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 0.92% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,068 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,215. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to breakout from Saturday’s high $11,185.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and current week high $11,185.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,333 and resistance at $11,500 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,068 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,950 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,700 levels. The second major support level at $11,803 should limit any downside.

Before First Kid , the Minnesota-born actor secured roles in a series of PG-rated comedies, playing a young Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks , before graduating to smaller parts in movies like Problem Child 3: Junior in Love . When his screen time shrunk, Pierce retired from acting for a real executive role: co-founding the video production start-up Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) alongside businessman Marc Collins-Rector. At age 17, Pierce served as its vice president, taking in a base salary of $250,000. DEN became “the poster child for dot-com excesses,” raising more than $60 million in seed investments and plotting a $75 million IPO. But it turned into a shorthand for something else when, in October of 1999, the three co-founders suddenly resigned. That month, a New Jersey man filed a lawsuit alleging Collins-Rector had molested him for three years beginning when he was 13 years old. The following summer, three teens filed a sexual-abuse lawsuit against Pierce, Collins-Rector, and their third co-founder, Chad Shackley. The plaintiffs later dropped their case against Pierce (he made a payment of $21,600 to one of their lawyers) and Shackley. But after a federal grand jury indicted Collins-Rector on criminal charges in 2000, the DEN founders left the country. When Interpol arrested them in 2002, they said they had confiscated “guns, machetes, and child pornography” from the trio’s beach villa in Spain. While abroad, Pierce had pivoted to a new venture: Internet Gaming Entertainment, which sold virtual accessories in multiplayer online role-playing games to those desperate to pay, as one Wired reporter put it, “as much as $1,800 for an eight-piece suit of Skyshatter chain mail” rather than earn it in the games themselves. In 2005, a 25-year-old Pierce hired then-Goldman Sachs banker Steve Bannon—just before he would co-found Breitbart News. Two years later, after a World of Warcraft player sued the company for “ diminishing ” the fun of the game, Steve Bannon replaced Pierce as CEO. Story continues The ‘Varsity Blues’ Screenwriter’s Cold-Blooded Crusade Against L.A.’s Homeless Collins-Rector eventually pleaded guilty to eight charges of child enticement and registered as a sex offender. In the years that followed, Pierce waded into the gonzo economy of cryptocurrencies, where he overlapped more than once with Jeffrey Epstein, Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9525.36, 9581.07, 9536.89, 9677.11, 9905.17, 10990.87, 10912.82, 11100.47, 11111.21, 11323.47, 11759.59, 11053.61, 11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The CBOE Volatility Index is nearing its lowest point since February 24, when Covid-19 fears first swept through Wall Street. And on OTC Markets, trading volume has started to recede back to pre-March levels. With the exception of the OTCQB Venture Market, which just experienced its highest volume month of the year in June, trading volume on the OTCQX Best Market and Pink Current Information Market have reverted back to levels in-line with typical activity. Here are four other takeaways from first-half trading activity on OTC Markets. Elevated Volume Was A Theme Through 2020’s halfway mark, total dollar volume on OTC Markets was about $224.6 billion, up 32% on a year-over-year basis. Unsurprisingly, March was the highest volume month as investors digested the implications of a pandemic and economic crisis. Nearly 25% of the total year-to-date dollar volume on OTC Markets occurred in March. As A Whole, Venture Companies Outperformed Of the nine indexes that track the broad-based performance of securities on OTC Markets, the benchmark with the best performance in the first half was the OTCQB Index, which fell 5.36% from the end of 2019. In addition to early stage venture companies, the OTCQB market is home to many metals and miners, which are typically seen as safe-haven assets during times of market turmoil. This was followed by the OTCQX Dividend Index, a benchmark of all the OTCQX members that pay a regular dividend, which fell 8.19%. There Were 115 New Companies On OTCQX And OTCQB This includes companies from across the economic landscape, specifically community banks, miners, and venture stage biotechs. The 115 new QX and QB securities figure is on par with prior year totals, a sign that businesses still see the U.S. capital markets as a viable option for raising capital in 2020. Story continues The average year-to-date gain of these new securities in the first half of 2020 was 20.84%. Roche And GBTC Were The Most Actively Traded Names Through June, Roche Holding Ltd (OTCQX: RHHBY ) was the only security on the OTCQX Best Market, the top tier of OTC Markets, to exceed $10 billion in dollar volume. In keeping with the trend from 2019, Roche and GBTC were far and away the two most actively traded securities on the market through the first six months. Below is a list of the top 10 most actively traded securities on the OTCQX tier of OTC Markets in the first half: Roche Holding Ltd (OTCQX: RHHBY, RHHBF, RHHVF) $12,594,906,931 $297.4 billion Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: GBTC ) $6,389,893,871 $5.2 billion Danone (OTCQX: DANOY, GPDNF) $1,854,398,826 $45.7 billion adidas AG (OTCQX: ADDYY, ADDDF) $1,283,167,427 $54.7 billion BNP Paribas (OTCQX: BNPQY, BNPQF) $1,040,232,206 $50 billion BASF SE (OTCQX: BASFY, BFFAF) $778,893,311 $50.3 billion Imperial Brands PLC (OTCQX: IMBBY,IMBBF) $765,614,985 $15.8 billion AXA (OTCQX: AXAHY, AXAHF) $762,624,422 $48.3 billion Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: IFNNY, IFNNF) $694,588,314 $30.8 billion Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V.

By 16:00 UTC, the winner will be selected. The Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain will be used to pick this winner. This can be verified at any device running Python 3.5, and you do not need to own Bitcoin in order to participate.\n\nAdditionally, all information to replicate the Drawing at home is available on Dropbox and GitHub, scroll down for more information.\n\nImportantly, this post WILL NOT BE EDITED in order to keep the integrity of the Drawing. To verify this, there will not be an asterisk during the time passed since its creation.

Like before, this subreddit will wait for the 3^rd Block* after the time (being 16:00 UTC) to select the winner.\n\nIf a block is discovered by 15:59 UTC, it will not be counted towards the counter of three blocks. If it's discovered by 16:00:00 UTC, then it will decrease the counter. This can be checked by seeing the timestamp given to it by blockchain explorers.\n\nYou are able to see how this subreddit will verify the winner by checking the GitHub repository, which also includes a back-up plan in case of an emergency.\n\n*\n\nStandard Protocol:*\n\nThis post will not be edited!* This is to prevent tampering of the hash or files by any of the moderators. To prove this, look for the lack of an asterisk near the time since creation.\n\nTo verify if a hash for a file is that of Draw #58, upload the file of choice to a SHA-256 generator, and match it with its respective hash output. The result you receive should be the same as what is listed here.\n\nIf you are interested in doing this for yourself, download Python 3.5 or better and follow the path to the folder labeled: MM58\n\n*\n\nStatus Reports:\n\nI will be commenting on the progress of the drawing via the comments, so other users can keep track of the progress.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.47% on Sunday. Reversing a 1.29% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended week up by 5.84% to $10,934.5. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $11,098.0 to a late afternoon intraday low $10,779.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,950 and the second major support level at $10,803. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the second major support level to wrap up the day at $10,930 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest visit to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish end to the week. Bitcoin Cash SV and Tezos led the way down, with losses of 4.78% and 4.11% respectively. Binance Coin (-3.05%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-3.60%), and Ethereum (-3.78%) weren’t far behind.

It was a mixed week for the crypto majors, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.58%), Ethereum (+1.12%), Monero’s XMR (+8.00%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.83%) bucked the trend in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack. Binance Coin (-15.52%), Tezos (-15.40%), and Tron’s TRX (-11.84%) led the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-6.01%), Cardano’s ADA (-6.07%), EOS (-2.07%), Litecoin (-2.28%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-3.85%) also saw red. In the week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $314.21bn before rising to a Saturday high $341.59bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $330.57bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 59.64% to a Wednesday high 61.56%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.25%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.30% to $10,967.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,917.0 before rising to a high $10,967.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.25%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.59%), EOS (-0.19%), Litecoin (-0.23%), Monero’s XMR (-0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.22%), and Tezos (-0.19%) saw early losses.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $10,937 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,095. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday high $11,098 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,256 before any pullback. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $10,937 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,776 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level at $10,618 should limit any downside.

The Web 3.0 data-storage project, funded by a $257 million initial coin offering that closed inSeptember 2017, has been building out its technology ever since. While Filecoin has been quieter than most over that time, Filecoin is currently wrapping up a very active incentivized testnet calledSpace Race. There are 1.5 million FIL tokens allocated to testnet participants, though it’s hard to assess the value of that offer when the company has refused to discuss details that might inform FIL’s underlying price. Nonetheless, this testnet has been quite popular. Related:Internet 2030: The Future and How We Get There “Miners are learning a ton,” Filecoin’s Ian Darrow told CoinDesk. More than $100 million worth of hardware has come online to serve the testnet, he said. More than 200pebibytesof data capacity has been proven. “Overall, it’s exceeded expectations,” Darrow said. There are futures markets for the forthcoming token, too.Gate.iois currently trading futures at $18.50 inUSDTas of this writing. In a recent investor letter, Pantera Capital said that Filecoin futures were “trading well above our cost basis.” Filecoin’s creator Juan Benet hasa bright visionfor the future of the web, and thus the Filecoin network aims to be a next-generation marketplace for data storage and retrieval, potentially competing with the web giants that control the data storage space – Amazon, Microsoft and Google – and content delivery networks like Cloudflare. Sept. 15, 2020 \| 4 p.m. ETWe’re hosting a conversation with Filecoin founder Juan Benet, Filecoin project lead Colin Evran, Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin and CoinDesk senior reporter Brady Dale.Watch it live onCoinDesk.com,TwitterorYouTube. Related:What Is Yearn Finance? The DeFi Gateway Everyone Is Talking About While it’s true the cost of storage has only trended down and selling storage has effectively made it a commodity product, the Filecoin thesis is two-fold: • Demand for data storage will soon skyrocket. • There will be demand for a new kind of storage, one that can prove redundancy and accessibility. The lastFilecoin roadmap updatethat addressed mainnet launch said it would happen in mid- to late September. When we spoke to Darrow he said this was still on track. “Unlike centralized cloud storage services, which back up data in ways clients can’t change or verify, Filecoin allows clients to easily express their own preferences for reliability and cost,” a new document released ahead of the network launch,Engineering Filecoin’s Economy, explains. It goes into several key elements of the new system. Here are some of the main takeaways. “One thing that I don’t think was super-well understood before this came out is the mechanics and the rationale around how miner collateral works in Filecoin,” Darrow said. Mining on Filecoin is largely about providing storage space using traditional storage systems. This is commodity hardware. Almost anyone with an internet connection can participate. A quality one-terabyte hard drive can be purchased for around $50, though most entities participating will put up vastly more than that. The point being that Filecoin does not enjoy the expensiveness of specialized hardware (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum ASICs) as a way to discourage unserious participants, so it needs to require a slashable stake in order to prevent malicious actors from accepting deals for terms they don’t honor. The Filecoin system requires upfront collateral. Block rewards are also subject to vesting, in order to help ensure participants stick around long enough to honor commitments. Filecoin wants the storage capacity of the network to grow, but without inducing an ugly “Day 1 gold rush,” said Darrow. “There’s this really nasty incentive for people to pile in early,” Darrow said of other projects. “Mining rewards are the highest early, total mining power is the lowest, so you attract a lot of people who are bouncing from project to project.” Filecoin has a pre-set growth schedule for storage capacity and 70% of the mining rewards are tied to that baseline. If the network hasn’t hit that target, then block rewards are reduced to the proportion it has achieved. The idea, Darrow explained, is to lessen the first-mover advantage. “Because the network reward grows as mining power grows, it matters less when a miner enters the network,” he said via email. “The overall result is that Filecoin rewards to miners more closely match the utility they, and the network as a whole, provide to clients,” the “Economy” document states. Filecoin increases the baseline 200% annually, only giving the community an option to slow its growth down once the network reaches over 1% of global storage. Based on the experience with the Space Race, Darrow said, “It seems like we won’t have trouble hitting pretty gaudy numbers in the first year.” One of the features that might seem strange about Filecoin at the outset is that participants can earn rewards for storing nothing. This is referred to as committed capacity. It’s effectively empty space that has nevertheless received the Filecoin cryptographic treatment and is getting logged and rewarded on the system. At first blush, this might not make any sense, but it’s a matter of having some room in the system. “What you don’t want is a network where there’s no extra capacity available or you don’t know extra capacity is available,” Darrow said. Further, because all nodes are also participating in securing the Filecoin blockchain, they are contributing to consensus. That said, Filecoin doesn’t want that many participants to commit empty blocks, so an incentive system has been created to push folks to find real clients. Serving verified clients earns significantly higher block rewards. These are real companies with real needs making real deals for data. The idea is it won’t be that hard to become a verified client, but its business should be significantly more attractive to those on the network. “Verified clients are certified by a decentralized network of verifiers,” the new document explains. This will be a set of large, recognizable entities in the ecosystem, Darrow said, though the list is not public. It will be groups such as: nonprofits that do a lot of data storage, academic entities and the major foundations of the blockchain world. Storing verified client data will receive higher block rewards than unverified data or empty blocks (since it is encrypted, the Filecoin network cannot tell the difference between the two). In fact, Filecoin has already beenseeding the worldwith verified data. Because verified data is so attractive, Darrow said the team expects miners will do business-development work to try to secure deals with verified clients, helping to improve overall competitiveness across the system. Filecoin is usually described as entering the space of Amazon Web Services or Dropbox, but it’s a bit more disruptive than that. Filecoin also seeks to account for content delivery network (CDN) services as well. The most famous CDN is probably Cloudflare, and these networks fulfill a surprising role on the internet. Data moves fast but the world is big, and it’s still true that a file closer to a user gets there noticeably faster than one that’s further away. Most stored data never gets touched and so will never need these services, but some stored data becomes very popular. For such popular data, companies can provide retrieval services, meaning they would get paid for serving the data to customers. An example Darrow gave was when a certain video goes viral. A CDN could cache copies of that video all over the world and bid for the chance to serve it to viewers. These additional copies would not count toward the copies the client had paid to keep securely on Filecoin, but they could be used in a retrieval market. In many if not most cases, Darrow said, the storage providers will also provide the retrieval services, but there are likely to be cases in which it makes sense for CDN-like entities to step in for certain files. Clients pay for storage in FIL, which is volatile. The Filecoin system requires storage clients to commit their payments upfront over the life of a deal, though miners will only get paid if they meet their commitment. The “Economy” document illuminates the advantages of this arrangement: “In addition to collateral commitments from both parties, there’s also a deal payment from client to miner. This payment is initially locked by the client when the deal is incorporated into the blockchain; as a result, the client’s exposure to Filecoin price volatility ends the moment they enter into a storage deal. Payment is released to the miner as some fraction of the total deal fee per payment period.” On the other hand, many storage clients may be accustomed to paying as they go rather than paying a lump sum at the beginning. Darrow said the trade-off here is they only pay for what they need. As money on the internet becomes more complex, this will also likely present an opportunity for third parties to finance upfront payments for companies that want to use Filecoin but pay at flexible regular intervals. One of the most important facets of Filecoin to understand is that it relies on a concept called content addressing. Most addressing on the internet relies on locations. Go to a URL and see the thing you want there. As the internet ages, more and more of these links are dead. Called “link rot,” there’sa growing pushamong bloggers to link to archives rather than the original sources. Filecoin points to content, not location, though, which means it might be found in any number of places. Filecoin takes this a step further and also cryptographically proves the uniqueness of each copy. So if a client wanted to know there were 101 copies of file all around the world, they could use proofs to verify both that each copy was unique and that they were well d... - 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: ['The federal agency that oversees banks issued a letter on Monday that gives financial institutions a green light to hold reserves to support so-calledstablecoins—digital currencies similar to Bitcoin that are backed on a one-to-one basis by real-world money.\nWhile stablecoins have existed for years, their popularity has soared in recent months both in cryptocurrency circles and among businesses that have embraced them as an efficient way to settle international transactions.\nInits letter, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) stated that U.S. banks can lawfully hold the fiat currency reserves of companies that issue stablecoins, provided those firms comply with federal banking laws.\nAccording to Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of cryptocurrency firm Circle—which has issued a stablecoin called USDC alongside crypto giant Coinbase—the letter will provide legal cover for tech and finance companies that are experimenting with stablecoins.\nAllaire pointed in particular toFacebook, which is backing a consortiumcalled Librathat plans to issue a global digital currency that will be backed by U.S. dollars or by a basket of major currencies. Allaire also suggested that companies like Square, whose CEO has expressedstrong supportfor cryptocurrency, are likely to make stablecoins part of their operations in 2021.\nA spokesperson for Libra declined to comment on the OCC news. Square did not immediately reply to a request for comment.\nThe OCC letter is not transformative in that some U.S. banks already hold stablecoin reserves.

While stablecoins have existed for years, their popularity has soared in recent months both in cryptocurrency circles and among businesses that have embraced them as an efficient way to settle international transactions. In its letter , the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) stated that U.S. banks can lawfully hold the fiat currency reserves of companies that issue stablecoins, provided those firms comply with federal banking laws. According to Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of cryptocurrency firm Circle—which has issued a stablecoin called USDC alongside crypto giant Coinbase—the letter will provide legal cover for tech and finance companies that are experimenting with stablecoins. Allaire pointed in particular to Facebook , which is backing a consortium called Libra that plans to issue a global digital currency that will be backed by U.S. dollars or by a basket of major currencies. Allaire also suggested that companies like Square, whose CEO has expressed strong support for cryptocurrency, are likely to make stablecoins part of their operations in 2021. A spokesperson for Libra declined to comment on the OCC news. Square did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The OCC letter is not transformative in that some U.S. banks already hold stablecoin reserves. These include U.S. Bancorp , which holds more than $2 billion of reserves that back the USDC stablecoin. Allaire, though, says the letter will provide assurance to other banks—some of whom remain skittish about cryptocurrency ventures. He says that as stablecoin use expands and more companies seek to issue their own stablecoins, the presence of additional banks will be essential. In its letter, the OCC qualified its support for stablecoins by noting that it applied only to ventures that comply with regulations such as know-your-customer laws, and which permit regular audits of their reserves. This would seem to exclude exotic stablecoins like Dai that are supported in part by algorithms, as well as Tether. The latter is the most popular stablecoin project, but it has been dogged by complaints about its lack of transparency.

Digital Yuan is the newest addition to the global digital currency portfolio. It\'s the first currency of its kind that is fully backed and sponsored by a large nation and investors are betting on it skyrocketing. Independent Research Group interviewed over 7,650 investors in the UK and Ireland and found that over 92% considered investing in Digital Yuan and 76% have already invested or are preparing to invest within the next two weeks. With the current financial markets in turmoil, many high-return seeking individuals are turning towards digital currencies. However, none has performed as well as Digital Yuan returning investors 10-times their money in September alone. "With the official government backing, there is little downside risk and the current market conditions are perfect for investment. Major stock indices are down and many of us are turning towards Digital Yuan to get unprecedented returns. This is our chance to invest early and not miss another bitcoin-like opportunity" \x96 a senior hedge fund trader who wished to stay anonymous commented in an interview. "It\'s really impossible to resist this investment opportunity. It\'s the first country-backed digital currency. China is producing a new billionaire every week with its red-hot markets. It has a lot of capital and liquidity so it\'s not a chance to look over" \x96 says Michael Jewles, a famous day-trader and venture capitalist. Bitcoin has gone from less than 0.002$ to 17,000$ which would make a $100 investment now worth $5M. It\'s easy to see why everyone is eager to get on this opportunity. Additionally, Digital Yuan may provide a solution for Chinese long-standing bad debt problem. The country currently has 2.4 trillion yuan ($341 billion) of officially recognized bad debt due to the illegal yet popular practice of obtaining multiple loans pledging the same collateral. Wide adoption in the Chinese economy of the Digital Yuan would drive its value even higher. Story continues "Using smart contracts provided by the Digital Yuan currency, the government of China will be able to track assets and liabilities and to ensure that multiple loans are not taken over the same collateral", says a senior blockchain researcher J. Rothers. The circulation of the currency is controlled by the state any trading can only be performed via authorized brokers. Many investors have been searching for high-potential stocks after the recent pandemic-related crash and this could prove the opportunity of a lifetime for many. Digital Yuan may not only solve China\'s long-standing problems but allow many middle-class individuals to move up the financial ladder through a secure investment strategy.

I started to look in earnest how much of my "net worth" is in crypto, and whether it\'s a comfortable amount (spoiler: it is).\n\nI\'m 37, with about $40,000 (Australian dollaridoos) to my name. No mortgage or assets, basically I pays my rent and my bills, and my salary comes in each month.\n\nProbably getting used to the idea I won\'t be able to get on the property ladder.\n\nAnyway, I pondered this today. I have about $11k in Cryptos (probably half in bitcoin, and the rest scattered around altcoins where I believe the technology is good), which makes it about 25% of my savings.\n\nThat\'s probably right by me. It\'s below the threshold "I could afford to lose", and below the threshold I might need to convert it to Fiat out of need or emergency.\n\nFrankly, I figure it\'s the comfortable level, for the money I have. I exited the stock market in June (sorry Buffet, although I\'m sure my small contributions did not send shockwaves through the economy), and other than adding a small amount ($100) each week, I don\'t think it\'s the right time to invest that way.\n\nAs I said, no mortgage or appreciable asset to my name. Or kids!\n\nAnd so the rest (let\'s call it $25,000) is in my bank account earning 1%. (Edit: This is only a temporary affair after pulling out of stocks, and deciding where to go next as the world wobbles).\n\nAnyway, that\'s my story, and I\'ve decided I\'m comfortable with 25% (no more) of my savings in crypto - again largely because there\'s no compelling alternatives, and bank interest is very bland.\n\nI wouldn\'t go much higher, but I am fairly comfortable to have moved that amount over in the last two years, and on the whole it\'s appreciated as a store of value by about (napkin maths) 10%.\n\nJust curious on other people\'s thoughts?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ixc9zf/just_for_discussion_what_percentage_of_your_net/', 'ixc9zf', [['u/phyx1u5', 13, '2020-09-22 01:57', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ixc9zf/just_for_discussion_what_percentage_of_your_net/g65wxe1/', "I'm in a similar situation, no debts etc. but I'm putting about 50% into crypto, 25% in savings, and living off the remaining 25%.\n\nmy goal is to get into property should the crypto scene moon to my targets.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.09% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 4.57% slide from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,549.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,377.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,171, Bitcoin rose to a late intraday high $10,597.0. Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $10,850, Bitcoin eased back to wrap up the day at sub-$10,550 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Tuesday. Binance Coin and Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 4.02% and by 5.84% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.05%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.90%), Ethereum (+1.15%), and Litecoin (+3.15%) also made solid gains. Chainlink (+0.26%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.26%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.86%) trailed the front runners, however. At the start of the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Monday low $306.69bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $316.17bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.89% before rising to a high 62.04%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.55%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.02% to $10,549.6. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,540.0 before rising to a high $10,555.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum (-0.27%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.03%) struggled early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 1.01% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,508 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,638. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $10,597. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $10,700 before any pullback. Bitcoin would likely come up short of the second major resistance level at $10,728, however. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,508 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,418 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,300 levels and the second major support level at $10,288.

For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.\nAcross the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Tuesday.\nBinance Coin and Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 4.02% and by 5.84% respectively to lead the way.\nBitcoin Cash ABC (+2.05%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.90%), Ethereum (+1.15%), and Litecoin (+3.15%) also made solid gains.\nChainlink (+0.26%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.26%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.86%) trailed the front runners, however.\nAt the start of the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Monday low $306.69bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $316.17bn.\nBitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.89% before rising to a high 62.04%.

Bitcoin would likely come up short of the second major resistance level at $10,728, however.\nFailure to avoid a fall through the $10,508 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,418 into play.\nBarring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,300 levels and the second major support level at $10,288.\nThisarticlewas originally posted on FX Empire\n• AUD/USD and NZD/USD Fundamental Daily Forecast – Aussie Weakens as RBA Considers Various Policy Options\n• AUD/USD and NZD/USD Fundamental Daily Forecast – RBNZ May Be Preparing to Move on Negative OCR\n• Silver Price Forecast – Silver Markets Show Signs of Stability\n• USD/JPY Fundamental Daily Forecast – Hawkish Comments From Fed’s Evans Spook Dollar Bears\n• E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM) Futures Technical Analysis – Traders Respecting 26714 – 26162\n• Economic Data, the FED Chair, COVID-19, and Brexit in Focus', 'In this article we will take a closer look at the 10 best cryptocurrency exchanges in 2020. Click to skip ahead and see thetop 3 cryptocurrency exchanges of 2020.\nThe last decade has been a great one for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in general. Aside from witnessing the launch of over three thousand new cryptocurrencies, we have also seen an unprecedented increase in the value of these cryptos.\nThe launch of cryptocurrencies, in general, has led to the development of a plethora of other service apps and companies. One of these service apps is "Cryptocurrency Exchanges". Basically, cryptocurrency exchanges are platforms or third-party applications that allow potential crypto investors to either buy, sell, or trade their cryptocurrencies. This exchange could either be from crypto to crypto or from fiat to crypto.\nPixabay/Public Domain\nWith an increasing number of these crypto exchanges being developed today, most potential crypto investors have had trouble picking out the best exchange to make use of. This is why we have taken it upon ourselves to make a list of some of the best cryptocurrency and Bitcoin exchanges of 2020. Bear in mind that this list has been compiled after extensive research and is based on a number of criteria that include but are definitely not limited to the following;\n• Trading volume\n• The transaction speed\n• The transaction fees charged\n• Number of supported coins\n• Multiple payment methods\nIn our rankings below for the 10 best cryptocurrency exchanges of 2020, each cryptocurrency exchange we listed scores for each criterion and then calculated the total score. That’s why there is a little bit subjectivity in our rankings. If you don’t agree with some of the scores, please leave a comment at the bottom of this article.

To start this story off I was ordering my boy some lsd off the dark bet, and he had about 50 dollars left over in bitcoin he said get whatever I want with it, so you guys already know I went straight to the benzos. After a long search and contemplating what to get I ended up picking up 40 1mg footballs, where I’m from it’s hard to get legit Xans so 40 footballs is a fucking score for me.\n\nA couple days pass and I get my shit in the mail, so I figured it’s time to try this shot out. My homie came and got his sheet of acid and threw me a couple hits and I tossed him a couple footballs. The next day o was ready to try those bad boys out. I had done a line of meth and I picked up a bottle of 100 proof vodka (first mistake). So i call up my main homie and he pulled up to chill. We bother popped a hit of acid then we smoked some gas that my homie brought. After we smoked a blunt we dosed up on Xanax, at the time I had a decently high tolerance and I was on meth so I decided to go ahead and eat 10mg right off the bat. We chilled for a while and drank some vodka and I pooped a few more footballs. \n\nHere is where my memory gets hazy and the dumbassery starts. We were really mega fucked up and my boy starts talking about hitting a lick on this house. My barred up ass was like fuck it let’s do it. So me and my boy ate the rest of the xans and finished off the bottle, all I remember from here is walking from my apartment to this lick we were trying to hit. I was so fucked up I barely made it to the house, but we finally got there and I was falling over in the yard and shit making a fool out of myself, we didn’t even start trying to get into the crib next thing I know my buddy says “hey there’s a cop car”. I was confused just standing there and my boy took off running, I didn’t move and next thing I know BAM I got fucking layed put by the police. I guess we were so fucked up we didn’t even notice they were watching us. Next thing I remember I’m on the way to jail, the cop driving is there was super chill, he asked if we wanted to smoke a cig before we went to jail ( he was a real ass dude for that one). So we get out the cop car still handcuffed and the cop lights us both a cig up, we’re sitting there smoking and my drunk ass dropped the cig out my mouth like 5 times but the chill ass cop kept picking it up for me.\n\nNext thing I know it’s the next morning and I woke up I a holding cell getting arraigned, I was still kinda fucked up and I was shit talking the judge a lil ( big fuck up) so my bail got set at 50,000 so 5,000 to get out (On my first offense!). So I was in jail for about 5 days until my lawyer was able to get my bail reduced to ror. I’ve been out since COVID started still waiting on the case but fuck it I’ve been wanting to tell the story.

With blockchain and compute-to-data, Ocean is addressing this,” McConaghy said in an interview. “So our goal is to unlock this data economy with data marketplaces, connecting the buyers and sellers of data. These can be individual humans, families, small companies, large companies, cities, nations, etc.”\nEthereum-based Ocean creates data tokens, which can represent a particular dataset – be it an individual’s DNA or something much larger and more valuable, like all ofDaimler’sself-driving car data. The tokens act as an on-ramp to the data, which is stored elsewhere. The second part of the puzzle is establishing a marketplace where this tokenized data can be discovered, priced and traded using Ocean’s native token (OCEAN) or other cryptos like ether (ETH) or dai (DAI).\nPricing data is hard. Now, with the third version of Ocean, McConaghy has concludedAMMs like Uniswapdo the job best.\nRead more:Mercedes Maker Daimler Tests Blockchain for Supply-Chain Data Sharing\nRelated:Uniswap Users Have Claimed $560M-Worth of UNI Tokens in a Week\nUnlike an auction-based approach, AMMs continue to price throughout the asset’s lifetime. And unlike order books, they don’t need a lot of upfront liquidity and a double coincidence of wants. As such, AMMs – which have been instrumental in DeFi’s$13 billionascent – can be thought of as robots that are always ready to buy or sell.\nThe Balancer poolfunctions as a “self-balancing weighted portfolio and price sensor,” which means it behaves like an index fund – if a given asset out- or under-performs, it is respectively sold or bought to keep its value share of the total portfolio constant. But this is done in a decentralized manner without human intervention.\nThis is basically what DeFi application Uniswap does, but Balancer has the added advantage of allowing non-equal weights among tokens in the pool (e.g. 90/10 vs. 50/50). That means someone with lots of data tokens can offer these without having to tie-up a great deal of Ocean tokens or other cryptos.\nMcConaghy pointed to a trend where people are launching things on AMMs, and in the case of an Ocean data-token pool he has coined the term “initial data offering” or IDO.\n“Our community has been really loving this term and using it a lot internally,” McConaghy said, adding:\n“Basically it’s an example of liquidity mining for the people. Right now when people want to do liquidity mining on Balancer or other tools, they need to have assets. This works well for the whales, and it works even for some medium-sized folks, but the small guys are completely priced out because of gas prices. But we all have assets, as in our data assets; I have location data or whatever, and I’m going to start putting it up there and see what happens as the price gets automatically discovered.”\nRead more:Following COMP’s Surge, DeFi Platform Balancer Begins Distribution of BAL Tokens\nOn the subject of the high gas costs associated with deploying pools on Balancer, the Ocean partnership has led to a useful tweak of Balancer pool contracts to use theERC-1167proxy pattern to reduce those costs.\n“The idea of having millions of different tokens and pools wasn’t viable with today’s gas prices on Ethereum, so it’s very nice the way we have extended Balancer to make it cheap for the creation of new data pools,” said Balancer Labs CEO Fernando Martinelli, adding:\n“It doesn’t cost a lot for someone to just put up their location data or their DNA data. It’s great because it’s shown us the need to create more efficient markets – something that’s going to be addressed in our version two.”\n• Ocean Protocol and Balancer Want to Do for Data What Uniswap Did for Coins\n• Ocean Protocol and Balancer Want to Do for Data What Uniswap Did for Coins', 'Some tricks of the trade employed by today\x92s booming decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms are being used for a completely new paradigm: decentralized data marketplaces.

This was smack in the middle of the target range of $0.80 to $1.00 per token. • After offering expenses and fees to advisory firm A-Labs, the sale would net up to $111 million, according to INX’s latestfilingwith the SEC. The net proceeds would be used to: • Build INX Trading Solutions, a regulated exchange for cryptocurrencies, security tokens and derivatives. • Build a cash fund to protect the company and its customers in the event of a data breach, trading execution error or counterparty default. The instruments on offer are a hybrid of utility and security tokens. • Investors could use them to pay trading fees on INX’s platform. • The tokens would also entitle holders to a share of company profits. Related:Uber's Former Security Chief Charged With Trying to Conceal Hack Using Bitcoin INX’s sale would mark a milestone for the blockchain industry. • It would be the first security token offering (STO) registered with the SEC, and thus legally marketable to mom-and-pop investors. • Previous STOs were unregistered and limited to wealthy investors, with the issuers simply filing notices to the regulator; the initial coin offerings (ICO) of the 2017-2018 boom were conducted with little if any regard for compliance. • INX’s sale would also be one of very few IPOs in the blockchain industry and almost certainly the largest. It’s been a long road for the company, whose U.S. operations are led by Executive Managing Director Alan Silbert. (His brother Barry is the CEO of Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk.) • INX first signaled its intent to go public with adraft registration statementsubmitted in January 2018. • The company filed its F-1 prospectus (the SEC’s form for foreign issuers)almost exactly a year ago. • To comply with know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, INX has written a smart contract that allows only wallet addresses belonging to investors that have been vetted and put on a “whitelist” to receive the tokens. • TokenSoft, a registration agent that specializes in blockchain token offerings, is doing the KYC checks and maintaining the registry of investors. • Last month, INX hired Paz Diamant as its chief technology officer, regulatory filings show. Diamant is the former managing director of R&D and product at eToro, where he built the brokerage’s crypto trading system, according to hisLinkedIn profile.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 4.75% on Thursday. Reversing a 2.72% fall from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,754. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,222.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,092, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,842.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,495 and the second major resistance level at $10,726. In spite of a bearish end to the day, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the second major resistance level. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Thursday. Chainlink led the way, surging by 29.25%. Binance Coin (+7.75%), Cardano’s ADA (+7.98%), and Ethereum (+8.89%) also saw solid gains. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+4.10%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.08%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.07%), Litecoin (+4.66%), Polkadot (+4.16%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.23%) saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $300.97bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $320.94bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 60.89% before rising to a Wednesday high 62.31%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.68%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.21% to $10,731.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,774.0 before falling to a low $10,708.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.40%), Cardano’s ADA (+3.12%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.05%), and Chainlink (+0.38%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 1.50% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,606 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,990. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $10,842.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at $11,226 would likely cap any upside, however. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,606 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,370 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $9,986.

LOUIS (AP) A British man who was part of a hacking collective called The Dark Overlord was sentenced Monday to five years in prison for helping the group steal information from several companies in the U.S., including Missouri, Illinois and Georgia. Nathan Francis Wyatt, 39, was sentenced after he pleaded guilty in federal court in St. Louis to conspiring to commit aggravated identity theft and computer fraud. He was also ordered to pay about $1.5 million in restitution. Federal prosecutors said The Dark Overlord stole medical records, client files and personal information from the companies, then demanded between $75,000 and $300,000 worth of Bitcoin to return the information. None of the companies paid the ransom but the conspiracy did cost them because of the intrusion and release of data, federal prosecutor Laura Kathleen Bernstein said. Wyatt set up a phone account and accounts on Twitter and PayPal that were used to communicate and receive money, she said. Wyatt apologized during the hearing, held via Zoom, saying that he was on medication for mental problems that led him to make bad decisions, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported . I can promise you that Im out of that world, he said, voice breaking. I dont want to see another computer for the rest of my life. His lawyer, Brocca Morrison, noted that Wyatt did not orchestrate the hacks and is the only hacker who has been identified. Bernstein said Wyatts actions helped the other hackers remain anonymous and that his phone account was used to send threatening text messages to relatives of victims. Wyatt was indicted in 2017, but he was not extradited to the U.S. until last year after British lawyers fought to keep him in that country. He had served 14 months in a British prison after pleading guilty to 22 charges after he was accused of demanding money from the owner of a hacked computer and using stolen credit cards.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/mermaiddiva26', 'Need help deciding what to do with a windfall', 74, '2020-09-25 00:50', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/PFJerk/comments/iz7q1o/need_help_deciding_what_to_do_with_a_windfall/', "So the bottom line is I found an old bitcoin wallet from 7 years that I forgot about and it has ~500 bitcoin on it.

According to PayPal, the penetration of e-commerce as a percentage of retail sales in the first half of 2020 outpaced prior external forecast by 3 to 5 years. Both consumers and merchants are increasingly adopting digital payments as contactless transactions have become increasingly important amid the current crisis.\n\nThe rapid penetration of digital payments led to double-digital revenue growth in the second quarter for PayPal and Square. Using the TipRanks Stock Comparison tool, we will place these two fintech payment firms alongside each other to assess which stock offers a more compelling investment opportunity.\n\nPayPal Holdings (PYPL)\n\nPayPal, which was spun off from eBay in 2015, has emerged as the digital payment leader. In the second quarter, PayPal added 21.3 million net new active accounts, reflecting a 137% Y/Y rise and marking the strongest growth in the company’s history thanks to a surge in e-commerce and digital payments. As of the end of 2Q, PayPal had 346 million active accounts with over 26 million merchant accounts.\n\nThe company’s 2Q revenue surged 22.2% Y/Y to $5.26 billion. And adjusted EPS rose 49% to $1.07 as the adjusted operating margin expanded 504 basis points to 28.2%. Total Payment Volume or TPV, which indicates payments processed through the PayPal platform, grew about 29% to $222 billion. Venmo, Paypal’s mobile payments platform, witnessed a 52% growth in its TPV to $37 billion.\n\nFollowing the strong 2Q momentum, PayPal reinstated its 2020 guidance and in fact, raised it. The company expects revenue growth of 20% and adjusted EPS growth of about 25%. It anticipates adding 70 million net new active accounts this year.\n\nTo boost its top-line further and promote touchless payments, PayPal launched QR Code technology in 28 markets globally in May. CVS Pharmacy will be the first retail chain to offer its customers the option to use PayPal and Venmo QR codes at checkout in its US stores. The company will also launch Venmo credit card this year.\n\nPayPal has also expanded its Visa Direct partnership globally to accelerate real-time access to funds for small businesses, consumers and partners across its platform. This collaboration enables PayPal to extend global white label Visa Direct payout services through PayPal and its Braintree, Hyperwallet and iZettle platforms.\n\nOn Sept. 22, Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev reiterated a Buy rating for PayPal with a price target of $285 as the Mizuho E-Commerce Tracker showed that unique views across key PayPal partner sites (like Etsy, Groupon and Wayfair) remained strong in July and August and also pointed to potential signs of life in the beleaguered travel category.\n\nThe Tracker also indicated that PayPal’s unique views continued to grow ahead of partner websites in the last two months, reflecting persistent share gains for the checkout button. Overall, the analyst expects strong July and August e-commerce trends coupled with share gains to bode well for the company’s second-half TPV. (See PYPL stock analysis on TipRanks)\n\nPayPal stock has rallied about 74% year-to-date and could rise further by 17% in the coming months as indicated by the average analyst price target of $219.77. The stock scores a Strong Buy consensus based on 28 Buys, 5 Holds and no Sell ratings.\n\nSquare (SQ)\n\nPayment facilitator Square is growing rapidly as consumers and businesses are migrating online at a faster pace amid the pandemic. From February through August 2020, there was a 13.2 percentage point increase in the share of Square sellers accepting online payments and by August, over 40% of all Square sellers were accepting online payments. Also, by August, more than 7 in 10 Square sellers were accepting contactless payments.\n\nThe company’s Cash App ecosystem delivered $1.2 billion in revenue in the second quarter, reflecting a whopping 361% Y/Y growth.

Global scale; a platform designed to connect and support humanity through "Social for a Cause."\nSoMee is generating a lot of interest in the crypto and social worlds. Why? Because it\'s combining the latest groundbreaking blockchain technology with the most popular way people interact in the modern age; social media.\nJane King sits down (virtually) with actors Peter Ivanov, Bejo Dohmen, and Nick Dong-Sik who are avid users of this novel platform to gather their perspectives.\nPeter Ivanovhas been featured in ABC\'s episodic TV series "In An Instant" and recently completed filming an independent feature.\nBejo Dohmenis known for several TV shows in Germany such as his latest upcoming pilot "Ready to Rumble" and has also won several awards through the 2020 Academy Award-qualifying, best live-action short film "Kommando 1944."\nNick Dong-Sikis known for "Charlie\'s Angels", "Iron Sky", "Within the Whirlwind", and Netflix\'s "Marco Polo", while working alongside A-list actors and is currently working on the German TV series "Helen Dorn".\nDiscussing everything from how SoMee functions to how the platform may serve artists, Peter, Bejo, and Nick provide their two cents. Here\'s what we\'ve found out:\nSoMee is a blockchain-based, social media platform aimed at evolving the social media community. With a focus on security and monetization, SoMee offers something other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram can\'t; control. Users are now provided with an outlet for their content and data which protects and respects each user\'s right to control their information and posts, without worry of having information sold.\nNot only that, but the users now also have the option to monetize effectively. How? Through community interaction. Currently, users are posting on other platforms and receiving "likes" and "shares", but that\'s it. Unless you reach "influencer" or "celebrity" status on these platforms and somehow strike a deal with various brands or entities, all you receive is attention in the form of "likes" and "shares." Even if your post goes viral, you may reach a ton of viewers, but still, nothing may come of it.\nThis is where SoMee comes in. Now, users have the ability to monetize those likes directly, and you don\'t have to be an "influencer" or "celebrity." If you come up with something cool, creative, or viral, and people take notice, boom; rewarded.\nIn the interview, Bejo Dohmen also comments on the potential of this system by mentioning that artists could even have a chance to introduce an idea and gain funding through community support. He loves the idea that SoMee allows him to help people with a simple "upvote" which could potentially change someone\'s life.\nAnother important point was made by Peter Ivanov when he mentions "Social for a Cause"; SoMee\'s growing, philanthropic effort to bring the world together by increasing the awareness and assistance of those struggling and in need all around the globe.\nSoMee operates on a global scale, so users from around the world have the opportunity to interact with each other. Not only does it connect everyone, but it also provides an opportunity to help users who may be located in fallen economies, war-torn locations, or third-world areas.\nNick Dong-Sik likes to compare SoMee\'s ONG1 to Bitcoin, stating that he remembers when Bitcoin began, but never seized the opportunity, feeling like he "missed out," but now he\'s happy to be onboard with SoMee from the beginning.\nSoMee is dedicated to taking the social media space to the next level by providing monetization, control, and global community interaction like we\'ve never seen before. The actors all agree that SoMee is the next big thing and is full of potential.\nNow is the chance to join the community which could change your life and the lives of anyone anywhere anytime.

Especially ones from EU", 27, '2020-09-26 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Swipe_io/comments/izthtx/who_also_got_a_feeling_after_todays_ama_that/', "This answer during today's AMA got me thinking:\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/djogg3cm7dp51.jpg?width=829&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00fc5fb701e282339f648eee1a485d8fad3990e5\n\nCorrect me if I am wrong, SXP tokens play the role of gas for paying the network fees. Network fees occur when conversions happen. If Joselito was to introduce fiat wallets as source of funds for the cards, then buying a 3 euro cup of coffee would deduct 3 euros from the fiat wallet, therefore no fees would be generated (same currency, fiat to fiat) and SXP token would be left redundant. If any crypto was used as source of funds, then a conversion would happen , therefore some (hopefully small) fees would occur.\n\nI guess this is the reason why JL doesn't want to introduce fiat wallets. Again, correct me if I am wrong.\n\nBut to me (who has a Steel tier card) that means that I will not be able to comfortably use the card. I am based in EU and EU seems to be Swipe's most active market according to the description on their website:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/6ra0v0hk7dp51.jpg?width=885&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f9959353b14729175fa13fcffd52bef7891ac22\n\nIf to summarize, I have two problems with this:\n\n* crypto is not at the point right now where users could comfortably use it as mean of payment for everyday goods, it's highly volatile. Few die-hard fans would definitely use it and buy coffee with BTC, but good luck to them filing tax forms at the end of the tax year. The masses would avoid it due to volatility and tax concerns;\n* the argument that the stablecoins (which are still considered regular crypto and still have to be filled in tax forms - at least in Germany) does not help much the users from EU since there are no Euro-pegged stablecoins out there except the obscure and nothing but stable Stasis Euro.In the ideal world I want to deposit part of my Euro paycheck to Swipe card and use it for paying for groceries without worrying about the current USD / EUR exchange rate, which fluctuates easily by 5% within a month. The point of having 4% BTC cashback is undermined by potential losses from currency conversion and exchange rate fluctuations.\n\nAnd now one more of Joselito's answers which left me even more sad:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/1algdqmgadp51.jpg?width=849&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c433ad73f64a8c87d323751eb4385bf9ea973ed7\n\nHe says SXP is much more useful for on-chain staking. Of couse it is now so, since for the locked tokens which I can't access (therefore can't trade them and speculate on tokens' price like 90% of Swipe's Telegram group does) I would earn 6 to 12% interest (I am still unable to understand who gets 6 and who gets 12), while the flexible withdraw-any-time on-chain stakers receive over 20%.\n\nAnd it seems even quite weird how Joselito highlighted this fact in his answer, as if he intentionally wanted to discourage users from ordering cards and use the idle tokens for staking on-chain instead. Why can't Swipe use cardholders' frozen deposits for staking on-chain and pay them same interest to them (or better higher due to the inability to withdraw the stake at any moment) is also a mystery to me.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSo my very long question/suggestion at the very end of the AMA thread (where I asked Joselito not to lose focus on loyal cardholders - seriously, we voluntarily locked significant funds for half a year at least!) was left unanswered. However I think the two answers above provide all the necessary information... :(I think I mentioned pretty obvious problems with the card product that not only I should see.\n\nAgain, please correct me if I am wrong.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Swipe_io/comments/izthtx/who_also_got_a_feeling_after_todays_ama_that/', 'izthtx', [['u/JoselitoLizarondo', 11, '2020-09-26 20:09', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Swipe_io/comments/izthtx/who_also_got_a_feeling_after_todays_ama_that/g6pdz2s/', 'Just one quick point.

I came across this blog post called [How China can kill bitcoin](http://galgitron.net/Post/How-China-Can-Kill-Bitcoin) and thought that the author does have quite a good point (despite the tone of the blog post). He argued that the top 4 Chinese mining pools alone represent more than 51% of the hashrate and if the Chinese government are to forcibly commandeer these top 4 mining pools (without having to buy new mining equipment) then they can easily orchestrate the 51% attack within an hour and a double-spend would have been successful. \n\n\nA few questions:\n\n1. If this all is true, wouldn't you say that China is quite a big threat to the existence of bitcoin? Isn't this something we should be more worried about? (it seems that most of bitcoin community just assumed that no one will attempt the 51% attack and it has been debunked many times).

Will bitcoin mining be more decentralized (esp away from China) in the future? It seems that miners should go wherever there is cheap electricity, why haven't more countries jumped in?\n3. Can anyone comment about [Stratum V2](https://www.stratumprotocol.org/#binary)? Will it help address the problem by giving the control to miners o select their own transaction sets? When will it be ready?", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/izujwv/china_is_a_threat_to_bitcoin/', 'izujwv', [['u/bitusher', 29, '2020-09-26 01:53', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/izujwv/china_is_a_threat_to_bitcoin/g6l689i/', ">Will bitcoin mining be more decentralized (esp away from China) in the future?\n\nMoores cliff means old ASICs do not become obsolete as quickly. ASICs are already down to 5nm , to put things in perspective Intels most expensive retail chips are still at 14nm , there really isn't that much more room for BTC ASICs to shrink which means decentralization of mining . There are also many fundamental misunderstandings people have towards the advantageous and disadvantageous in industrial mining.\n\nA few things you need to understand about mining -\n\nChipmakers like TSMC and Samsung as 2 examples are the ones that are commissioned to make most ASIC chips(not the full assembled ASIC miner) based upon designs from Bitcoin ASIC manufactures. These foundries are involved in diverse chip making and obviously aren't directly involved in Bitcoin or its politics but fulfilling large orders from whoever commissions them.\n\nThe most popular ASIC manufacturers for Bitcoin right now are Whatsminer, Innosilicon, Bitmain, Caanan, Ebit, and Ebang. Many more ASIC manufacturers exist but they come and go based upon merit in a highly competitive race. For example Bitfury used to be one of the best manufacturers , and now has very little market share. Bitmain used to dominate , and than made some poor design decisions (lead engineer left them) and now competes with at least 4 others for the most efficient ASICs. This is a highly competitive and changing ecosystem.\n\nLarge miners main advantage is economies of scale over smaller miners. If you are an ASIC manufacturer you have large advantage over others because you can premine off your newest hardware and sell you last generation ASICs to others. This does occur , but is simplistic view and not the full picture. The reality is ASIC manufacturers Sell their newest ASICs with partners for industrial mining , sell their latest hardware to smaller miners for a premium, and mine themselves, while at the same time selling older ASICs on the market. Why do they do this? Because ASIC manufacturing is highly competitive and they need to hedge their investments as quickly as possible and de-risk from regulatory concerns as well.\n\nAmateur mining doesn't come with many risks of manufacturers who come and go (they are forced to make huge investments in ASIC orders and have long development pipelines fraught with risks)\n\nAmateur mining does not have the overhead of employees , security, regulatory compliance, building costs, tax liabilities , etc...\n\nNow here is what is interesting, this last generation of ASICs that went from 7nm to 5nm in size did not have the same efficiency jumps as previous drops. This is because 5nm is already at the edge of what can be done with silicone, we can possibly shrink down to 2-3nm but it gets extremely difficult as the gates start to get the size of a few atoms wide and quantum concerns and heat become a very big concern.\n\nWhy is any of this important?\n\nIn the past when ASICs wen...

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.39% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.41% loss from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,750.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,675.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,601, Bitcoin rallied to a mid-morning intraday high $10,841.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,795 before falling back to sub-$10,700 levels and into the red. Finding late support, Bitcoin struck a late afternoon high $10,795.0 before easing back. The first major resistance level at $10,795 pinned Bitcoin back late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Binance Coin and Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 6.07% and by 5.32% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.55%), Ethereum (+0.57%), and Litecoin (+0.07%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA (-1.67%), Chainlink (-3.83%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.06%), Polkadot (-2.35%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.06%) struggled. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $334.04bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $300.97bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $324.93bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 62.31% before falling to a Saturday low 60.81%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.09%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.02% to $10,752.0. A range-bound start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,748.1 before rising to a high $10,754.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (-0.41%), Ethereum (-0.01%), Litecoin (-0.09%), and Polkadot (-0.25%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a relatively bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 0.56% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the $10,755 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,836. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,800 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $10,841 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $10,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at $10,921 would likely cap any upside, however. Failure to move through the $10,755 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,670 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels. The second major support level at $10,589 should limit any downside.

"On Mettalex, traders will be able to create tokenized spread contracts for some of the most in-demand commodities on the market with USD/BTC/ETH pairs. At launch, we will support spreads on traditional and digital commodities like compute cycle price, gas costs, cloud compute and more traditional commodities like steel and iron ore, gold and silver, lithium and cobalt, oil, and the stock market index." Somee.social (ONG) will be appearing in their 4th interview. Actors for Somee discussing. 1. Protecting Data & Content; using Blockchain & Crypto technology, SoMee allows users to post securely without worry of sold information. 2. Gamified and Monetizable; SoMee provides the ability to receive rewards for your actions. 3. Global scale; a platform designed to connect and support humanity through "Social for a Cause." SoMee is generating a lot of interest in the crypto and social worlds. Why? Because it's combining the latest groundbreaking blockchain technology with the most popular way people interact in the modern age; social media. Jane King sits down (virtually) with actors Peter Ivanov, Bejo Dohmen, and Nick Dong-Sik who are avid users of this novel platform to gather their perspectives. Peter Ivanovhas been featured in ABC's episodic TV series "In An Instant" and recently completed filming an independent feature. Bejo Dohmenis known for several TV shows in Germany such as his latest upcoming pilot "Ready to Rumble" and has also won several awards through the 2020 Academy Award-qualifying, best live-action short film "Kommando 1944." Nick Dong-Sikis known for "Charlie's Angels", "Iron Sky", "Within the Whirlwind", and Netflix's "Marco Polo", while working alongside A-list actors and is currently working on the German TV series "Helen Dorn". Discussing everything from how SoMee functions to how the platform may serve artists, Peter, Bejo, and Nick provide their two cents. Here's what we've found out: SoMee is a blockchain-based, social media platform aimed at evolving the social media community. With a focus on security and monetization, SoMee offers something other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram can't; control. Users are now provided with an outlet for their content and data which protects and respects each user's right to control their information and posts, without worry of having information sold. Not only that, but the users now also have the option to monetize effectively. How? Through community interaction. Currently, users are posting on other platforms and receiving "likes" and "shares", but that's it. Unless you reach "influencer" or "celebrity" status on these platforms and somehow strike a deal with various brands or entities, all you receive is attention in the form of "likes" and "shares." Even if your post goes viral, you may reach a ton of viewers, but still, nothing may come of it. This is where SoMee comes in. Now, users have the ability to monetize those likes directly, and you don't have to be an "influencer" or "celebrity." If you come up with something cool, creative, or viral, and people take notice, boom; rewarded. In the interview, Bejo Dohmen also comments on the potential of this system by mentioning that artists could even have a chance to introduce an idea and gain funding through community support. He loves the idea that SoMee allows him to help people with a simple "upvote" which could potentially change someone's life. Another important point was made by Peter Ivanov when he mentions "Social for a Cause"; SoMee's growing, philanthropic effort to bring the world together by increasing the awareness and assistance of those struggling and in need all around the globe. SoMee operates on a global scale, so users from around the world have the opportunity to interact with each other. Not only does it connect everyone, but it also provides an opportunity to help users who may be located in fallen economies, war-torn locations, or third-world areas. Nick Dong-Sik likes to compare SoMee's ONG1 to Bitcoin, stating that he remembers when Bitcoin began, but never seized the opportunity, feeling like he "missed out," but now he's happy to be onboard with SoMee from the beginning. SoMee is dedicated to taking the social media space to the next level by providing monetization, control, and global community interaction like we've never seen before. The actors all agree that SoMee is the next big thing and is full of potential. Now is the chance to join the community which could change your life and the lives of anyone anywhere anytime.

BitUniverse, a startup that counts China’s Shunwei Capital and ZhenFund among its backers, has a monthly trading volume of around $5 billion on its online brokerage platform, according to Beijing-based founder Chen Yong. And more than 80% of its 100,000-some users run a grid trading algorithm every day, which automates buy and sell orders at certain regular intervals to capitalize on normal price volatility, Chen said. The cryptocurrency boom of recent years has given birth to major exchange operators like Binance and Huobi -- but brokerage services, which play a major role in traditional financial markets, aren’t much of a presence in the arena. BitUniverse is among a new wave of startups hoping to become a one-stop platform for regular people to trade crypto like Bitcoin and Ether, providing them with the liquidity from a multitude of exchanges. Its algorithms help users place orders 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- which some exchanges offer but is more rare from brokerages. “Trading bots let users overcome their humanity flaws and become a rational investor,” Chen said in a video interview. That doesn’t mean they will be guaranteed to make money, he adds, but they will “at least lose less.” Chen, who co-founded utility app provider Cheetah Mobile Inc., started his crypto venture at the end of 2017. BitUniverse’s Pionex brokerage service launched a year ago and has already become a major cash cow for the firm. BitUniverse, which is incorporated in Singapore, now makes roughly $3 million a month by charging a fee of 0.05% per transaction to traders in places from China to Europe and the U.S, Chen said. About 80% of Pionex’s trades are fulfilled by the order books on Binance and Huobi, he said. In 2018, BitUniverse raised close to $10 million from prominent Chinese venture capital firms Shunwei, ZhenFund and Gaorong Capital at a $50 million valuation, according to the company.

And more than 80% of its 100,000-some users run a grid trading algorithm every day, which automates buy and sell orders at certain regular intervals to capitalize on normal price volatility, Chen said.\nThe cryptocurrency boom of recent years has given birth to major exchange operators like Binance and Huobi -- but brokerage services, which play a major role in traditional financial markets, aren’t much of a presence in the arena.\nBitUniverse is among a new wave of startups hoping to become a one-stop platform for regular people to trade crypto like Bitcoin and Ether, providing them with the liquidity from a multitude of exchanges. Its algorithms help users place orders 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- which some exchanges offer but is more rare from brokerages.\n“Trading bots let users overcome their humanity flaws and become a rational investor,” Chen said in a video interview. That doesn’t mean they will be guaranteed to make money, he adds, but they will “at least lose less.”\nChen, who co-founded utility app provider Cheetah Mobile Inc., started his crypto venture at the end of 2017. BitUniverse’s Pionex brokerage service launched a year ago and has already become a major cash cow for the firm. BitUniverse, which is incorporated in Singapore, now makes roughly $3 million a month by charging a fee of 0.05% per transaction to traders in places from China to Europe and the U.S, Chen said. About 80% of Pionex’s trades are fulfilled by the order books on Binance and Huobi, he said.\nIn 2018, BitUniverse raised close to $10 million from prominent Chinese venture capital firms Shunwei, ZhenFund and Gaorong Capital at a $50 million valuation, according to the company.

But they have been doing so under a cloud of regulatory uncertainty. The statement gives the first sign of official clarity on the idea that stablecoins are legitimate representations of value.\nRelated:Blockchain Bites: DeFi Meets NFTs, TSLA Beats Bitcoin in Volatility, Uniswap Breaks $2B\nWhy is this significant for markets?\nTo start with, it signals a growing regulatory acceptance of stablecoins. While fiat-backed blockchain-based tokens have been often talked about in the halls of power, especially after Facebook’s stablecoin project Libra was announced last year, they had not been recognized in an official statement as an acceptable result of financial innovation – until now.\nAnd the U.S. is not the only significant economic bloc to signal acceptance: Earlier this week, the European Central Bank (ECB)issued a reportthat assesses the threats stablecoins could pose. But rather than hint that stablecoins might be in trouble, the report conveys that the ECB\xa0isfiguring outhow to mitigate the potential risks.\nThe issue was becoming urgent, given the explosive increase in stablecoin demand. The total value of stablecoins has now surpassed $18 billion, up from $10 billion just four months ago. Much of this growth has been driven by international demand for dollars as well as the increasingly sophisticated financial tools being built on top of public blockchain technology. USDC, the leading U.S.-based stablecoin, has seen its market cap almost quadruple so far this year, to over $2 billion.\nRelated:The Biggest Story in Crypto: The Stablecoin Surge and Power Politics\nReading between the lines, the message goes even further.

The joke, for which I owe a hat tip to Nathaniel Whittemore’s podcast interview with Selgin on The Breakdown , seems especially relevant right now. Demands for COVID-19 fiscal stimulus are driving an increasing number of liberals to embrace MMT’s no-limits position on government spending while hard-money conservatives, disdainful of government expansion, are pouring money into gold as a hedge against runaway inflation and general monetary breakdown. As both extremes garner all the attention, it’s difficult for nuanced, middle-ground voices to be heard. But that middle position is exactly where I’m going with this column, inspired by having just read “ The Deficit Myth ,” the influential new book by MMT’s most prominent advocate, Stephanie Kelton. Related: APIs Will Decentralize CBDCs You’re reading Money Reimagined , a weekly look at the technological, economic and social events and trends that are redefining our relationship with money and transforming the global financial system. You can subscribe to this and all of CoinDesk’s newsletters here . Some of my words might attract scorn from the bitcoin community’s “digital gold bugs,” who tend to view MMT’s suggestion that governments ignore deficits and manage spending by printing money as crazy talk. Unlike them, I think MMT’s take on the relationship between government and money is essentially accurate and that it’s a useful point of understanding in our ongoing debates over how best to deliver economic stimulus in the COVID-19 era. But I’m also going to say that, within the current analog financial system, MMT’s policy prescriptions would be a recipe for disaster. Without the discipline of fiscal responsibility, especially without the political accountability of having to fund spending with unpopular taxes, what’s to stop sovereign money issuers from doing what they’ve done through history and debasing their currency? Story continues As per the arguments in last week’s newsletter about Argentina , the very act of removing fiscal constraints would undermine the thing that matters most for a currency to function: trust. Related: Enterprises Would Use DeFi, if It Weren't so Public The bigger question, then, is what can be done to enhance trust so that unencumbered government spending can be appropriately deployed to encourage sustainable economic prosperity for all citizens. How might cryptocurrency and blockchain tools help? Uncle Sam can’t go bankrupt Kelton and her colleagues get some things right. To start with, they convincingly demonstrate the budget of a sovereign, currency-issuing government is incomparable to that of, say, a household or a company. There is no way for a government to go bankrupt, not in the literal, legal sense. And if its debts are owed in its own currency, there is no reason to expect they won’t be repaid, at least in nominal terms. That basic but important insight exposes the common misconception that governments are constrained by a fixed pool of resources that can only be increased through taxation or borrowing. MMTers say the unique sovereign power of currency issuance renders the idea of nominal funding limits false. Thus, they show the harm done by rigid rules such as balanced-budget requirements and debt ceilings. Kelton argues this misconception stems from traditional economics, which frames the sequencing of government fiscal activity backwards. Taxation is not a mechanism for raising funds for future expenditures but a way for a government to compel people to use the currency that its spending initially brought into existence. Taxation assigns utility, and therefore value, to the currency, she argues. Using the acronyms “TAB(S)” and “S(TAB),” Kelton argues the sequencing is not “taxing and borrowing precede spending” but “spending before taxing and borrowing.” No longer conceived as fundraising tools, taxation and debt issuance should instead be viewed as policy levers for managing income distribution, influencing borrowing rates in credit markets and moderating the overall flow of money in the economy. The third of those goals is critical, MMTers say, because governments must respect the “inflation constraint,” the one thing they view as a real, tangible limit on government expenditure. Far from approaching inflation with reckless abandon, MMTers are obsessive about it. They insist governments be singularly focused on preventing a destructive acceleration in prices from undermining a currency’s store of value and hurting savers at the expense of borrowers. Fine in theory but in practice? So much for theory. The core problem with MMT, as I see it, is that all state agencies, not just central banks, now have to be trusted to fight the inflation bogey. They must measure it, predict it and preemptively stop it. That’s easier said than done. More important, they have to be properly incentivized to do so. Because governments are currently sitting on a mountain of rising debt (see the Global Town Hall below), they’re incentivized to encourage inflation, not fight it. Because debt payments are fixed in nominal terms while incomes and tax revenue vary with changing prices, inflation inherently helps the borrower (in this case the government) and hurts the lender (bondholders). Having inflation as the only constraint exacerbates a principal-agent misalignment. It’s bad enough that government leaders and lawmakers already inoculate themselves from political pressure through gerrymandering and other forms of voter disenfranchisement. Now, without the duty to raise taxes to pay for their spending and with the opportunity to inflate away their debt obligations, it’s easy to imagine a further dereliction of their public duty. All that’s needed for inflation to set in is the wrong message. If people believe their government is going to become profligate, their inflation expectations will get baked into preemptive price rises, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. The issue, again, comes down to trust. It may well be a myth, per Kelton, that “taxing and borrowing precedes spending.” But that story serves a purpose if it helps people retain trust in their government. After all, as the historian Yuval Harari explains , it’s our capacity to tell stories and organize ourselves around them – not the veracity of those stories per se – that allowed homo sapiens to build civilization and take over the world. An alternative This risk of trust failure means an MMT approach is not viable within our current system of government. It would invite the kinds of monetary problems suffered by Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Argentina and Turkey into relatively stable economies such as the U.S. But what about in an era of central bank digital currencies? Perhaps CBDCs could offer more transparency and accountability to MMT-guided policymakers, allowing them greater expenditure leeway within the bounds of the inflation constraint. The rich data generated by a digital monetary system could help officials better estimate money supply, demand and, importantly, velocity (the rate of exchange) – all factors that contribute to inflation but are traditionally hard to measure. Further, blockchain-based smart contracts could be instituted to automate monetary policy adjustments according to changes in these data inputs. Of course, those automated systems could be overridden by the central bank, most easily if the CBDC is based on a closed, single-authority model. But if the systems are audited by a third party, perhaps by the International Monetary Fund, central banks and the government institutions they answer to would face a difficult political backlash if they were shown to be abandoning the model. In return for the policymaking freedom that MMT affords them, bolder governments might even adopt permissioned or even permissionless blockchains to lock in these contractual systems and demonstrate their commitment to protecting the value of their currency. So, you see, interesting ideas can still flourish in the middle path between the extremes. Bitcoin’s luster grows By Galen Moore, CoinDesk senior research analyst Bitcoin has never looked more like “digital gold” than it does now. Consider: Despite the popularity of the “gold 2.0” narrative, for most of its recent life bitcoin has shown a negative correlation with the price of the yellow metal. If that surprises you, it shouldn’t. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset, a venture bet on a future technology that most people in the world have never used. Unlike most such investments, bitcoin is fairly liquid. It makes sense that in times of crisis, it’s one of the first things sold to raise cash. That’s what happened in March, apparently, and bitcoin’s safe-haven narrative took a hit . Following March 12, bitcoin started to show a stronger correlation to gold. It also moved in tandem with U.S. stocks. “In a crisis, all correlations go to one.” (If you’re sick of hearing that line repeated, you’re not alone.) Look what’s happened in the past two months. Bitcoin’s positive correlation to gold is stronger and more consistent than it has ever been, at any time in the past. And its correlation to the S&P 500 is falling back into non-correlated territory. It’s one thing to say bitcoin has potential as an inflation hedge. It’s another to be actually looking hard for the inflation hedge with the highest potential earnings out there. Notably, this week, as overbought gold saw a correction, bitcoin held strong. The rest of Q3 will either jumble bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative again, or will solidify bitcoin (market cap $216 billion) as a contender against gold, an asset that has a valuation in the trillions.

Today's Key News: ['PepsiCo Inc’s third quarter is expected to be a positive catalyst for the stock with an expected organic topline and EPS beat, according to Morgan Stanley equity analyst Dara Mohsenian, who also forecasts Q3 EPS of $1.50 and 2.4% y-o-y growth in organic sales. The U.S. multinational food, snack and beverage corporation, PepsiCo is set to report third-quarter 2020 results on Thursday, October 1 , before market open. “We continue to like Pepsi longer-term with a pronounced mix shift to the more attractive snacks business over the last few years with strong underlying fundamentals (even ex- COVID ) now at more than two-thirds of corporate profit, with both robust, sustained snacks category growth, as well as PEP’s strong competitive positioning and share gains within snacks. We also see PepsiCo’s (PEP) growth outlook and underlying EPS quality as higher with greater reinvestment under a new CEO,” Morgan Stanley’s Dara Mohsenian said. “Last, we believe PepsiCo’s valuation remains compelling, with PepsiCo trading one standard deviation below its 5-year NTM relative P/E average vs mega-cap peers and only at a 3% EV/EBITDA premium to food peers, despite much higher LT revenue growth potential (4% at PEP LT vs 2% at food peers), as well as higher margins/ROIC (see PEP Valuation Looks Compelling section below for more detail).” Morgan Stanley forecast PEP organic sales growth to be driven by its snacks business, and a topline recovery in emerging markets, as well as a sequential improvement in on-premise beverages. In North America, they forecast a solid +6.5% organic sales growth at Frito-Lay North America (FLNA); +7.2% growth at Quaker Foods North America (QFNA); -1.0% decline at Pepsi Beverages North America (PBNA). For the international business, the investment bank forecast +8.6% y-o-y organic sales growth in APAC on China recovering, +2.5% in Europe with on-premise improving and favourable summer weather, +1.5% in Latin America, and -2.3% in AMESA (Africa, Middle East, South Asia) on a slower recovery, particularly in India. Story continues PepsiCo stock closed 3.30% higher at $137.97 on Monday. The stock is up about 1% so far this year. Several other equity analysts have also updated their stock outlook. Jefferies raised their target price to $139 from $137; JP Morgan lowered their stock price forecast to $149 from $154; UBS raised the price target to $140 from $136; Deutsche bank upped their price objective to $140 from $139 and \xa0Guggenheim raised their target price to $151 from $148. Eleven analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $144.64 with a high forecast of $155.00 and a low forecast of $130.00. The average price target represents a 4.83% increase from the last price of $137.97. From those 11 equity analysts, six rated ‘Buy’, five rated ‘Hold’ and none rated ‘Sell’, according to Tipranks. “PepsiCo is our top beverage pick. We forecast Pepsi will post superior topline growth relative to peers driven by exposure to the higher growth/higher margin snacks category (2/3 of PEP’s profit). Snacks is a higher growth category given: (1) shift to snacking vs. sit-down meals; (2) less pressure from health/wellness vs. beverages, and (3) PEP’s leading share in snacks vs. fragmented competition, driving share gains, and higher margins/ROIC,” Morgan Stanley’s Mohsenian said. “We also see more structural Pepsi market share benefits post COVID-19, as PEP uses its DSD distribution advantage, to gain shelf space and share in snacks, and in beverages, where PEP is advantaged vs competition with a much lower mix in away-from-home.” Upside risks: Higher FLNA snacks topline growth, improving North America beverages business on higher investment spend and on-premise recovery, better GM expansion on favourable commodities/better pricing, and higher cost savings from restructuring.

We also see PepsiCo’s (PEP) growth outlook and underlying EPS quality as higher with greater reinvestment under a new CEO,” Morgan Stanley’s Dara Mohsenian said.\n“Last, we believe PepsiCo’s valuation remains compelling, with PepsiCo trading one standard deviation below its 5-year NTM relative P/E average vs mega-cap peers and only at a 3% EV/EBITDA premium to food peers, despite much higher LT revenue growth potential (4% at PEP LT vs 2% at food peers), as well as higher margins/ROIC (see PEP Valuation Looks Compelling section below for more detail).”\nMorgan Stanley forecast PEP organic sales growth to be driven by its snacks business, and a topline recovery in emerging markets, as well as a sequential improvement in on-premise beverages. In North America, they forecast a solid +6.5% organic sales growth at Frito-Lay North America (FLNA); +7.2% growth at Quaker Foods North America (QFNA); -1.0% decline at Pepsi Beverages North America (PBNA).\nFor the international business, the investment bank forecast +8.6% y-o-y organic sales growth in APAC on China recovering, +2.5% in Europe with on-premise improving and favourable summer weather, +1.5% in Latin America, and -2.3% in AMESA (Africa, Middle East, South Asia) on a slower recovery, particularly in India.\nPepsiCo stock closed 3.30% higher at $137.97 on Monday. The stock is up about 1% so far this year.\nSeveral other equity analysts have also updated their stock outlook. Jefferies raised their target price to $139 from $137; JP Morgan lowered their stock price forecast to $149 from $154; UBS raised the price target to $140 from $136; Deutsche bank upped their price objective to $140 from $139 and \xa0Guggenheim raised their target price to $151 from $148.\nEleven analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $144.64 with a high forecast of $155.00 and a low forecast of $130.00. The average price target represents a 4.83% increase from the last price of $137.97. From those 11 equity analysts, six rated ‘Buy’, five rated ‘Hold’ and none rated ‘Sell’, according to Tipranks.\n“PepsiCo is our top beverage pick. We forecast Pepsi will post superior topline growth relative to peers driven by exposure to the higher growth/higher margin snacks category (2/3 of PEP’s profit). Snacks is a higher growth category given: (1) shift to snacking vs. sit-down meals; (2) less pressure from health/wellness vs. beverages, and (3) PEP’s leading share in snacks vs. fragmented competition, driving share gains, and higher margins/ROIC,” Morgan Stanley’s Mohsenian said.\n“We also see more structural Pepsi market share benefits post COVID-19, as PEP uses its DSD distribution advantage, to gain shelf space and share in snacks, and in beverages, where PEP is advantaged vs competition with a much lower mix in away-from-home.”\nUpside risks: Higher FLNA snacks topline growth, improving North America beverages business on higher investment spend and on-premise recovery, better GM expansion on favourable commodities/better pricing, and higher cost savings from restructuring.\nDownside risks: Lower return from PEP’s reinvestment, macro volatility, commodity and FX volatility, greater COVID impacts, worse market share trends in beverages, soda taxes.\nCheck outFX Empire’s earnings calendar\nThisarticlewas originally posted on FX Empire\n• Oil Traders’ Fears Outweigh Hopes on Global Economic Recovery\n• Economic Data Puts the EUR and Dollar in Focus, as Brexit Talks Resume\n• Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – $1889.70 Could Be Trigger Point for Surge into $1917.40\n• Weekly Recap: Bitcoin and Ethereum Go Into the Red\n• USD/JPY Fundamental Daily Forecast – Price Action Tied to Investor Appetite for Risk\n• EUR/USD Daily Forecast – Attempt To Get Above Resistance At 1.1695', 'Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Related: Why Bitcoin's Longest Run Above $10,000 Matters On this weeks show, were joined by Nic Carter, cofounder of Coin Metrics and partner at Castle Island Ventures. Nic discusses this years $20 billion surge in USD-backed stablecoins (what he calls crypto-dollars) and the potentially enormous implications of an offshore dollarization system based on blockchain. Fiat-backed stablecoins are not what Satoshi intended, Carter says, but their preposterous growth this year is the the most important phenomenon in the industry. It not only tells us about the maturation of the crypto financial infrastructure. It also tells us a lot about current geopolitics, too, he says. Related: Crypto Is Too Dependent on Dollars Nic has written two op-eds for CoinDesk about crypto-dollars: Policymakers Shouldnt Fear Digital Money: So Far Its Maintaining the Dollars Status (from February) and The Crypto-Dollar Surge and the American Opportunity (this month). U.S. policymakers fear losing power as dollar-flows increasingly shift to stablecoins. Central bankers may have less ability to set interest rates. And the corresponding banking infrastructure, based largely in New York, will process fewer transactions as people move into assets like tether and USDC instead. Nonetheless, Carter says the U.S. should embrace this new form of money technology. One, its mostly, for now, a U.S. industry, and overwhelming pegged to dollars. More dollars in circulation, while not necessarily good for American workers, is good for the dollars reserve currency status. Story continues Two, blockchains are inherently neutral equal opportunity databases that dont exclude people and represent financial freedom. That ought to accord with American values. And third, if the U.S. doesnt sanction stablecoin transactions, some other country or company will, inviting in the threat of surveillance and a loss of power anyway. The U.S. should consider embracing a neutral alternative to the highly politicized New York corresponding banking system before its too late and whole tranches of its allies defect to a Chinese or a Russian system, Carter says. Nic had a lot more to say about stablecoins, the future of money and great power rivalry. Check it out here, and please subscribe to CoinDesks new podcast feed.

For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Chainlink (-1.19%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.92%), and Polkadot (-0.36%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Binance Coin rallied by 7.20% to lead the way.

Today's Key News: ['Leaked recordings of a private conversation suggest crypto lender Babel Finance leveraged some user funds to long bitcoin and faced potential default risks during this year’s Black Thursday market crash in March. Seven audio files first emerged online on Sept. 25 that appear to be parts of a longer in-person conversation between Del Wang, co-founder of Beijing-based Babel, and an unknown person. The recordings offer a rare hint of strategies taken by the industry’s nascent crypto lenders in managing their balance sheets, suggesting some business practices may be different from what they claim. Related: BlockFi Adds an Independent Pricing Partner to Guard Against Flash Crashes The audio files were initially uploaded to Anchor.fm by an anonymous Twitter user on Sept. 25 but were soon taken down by the platform after Babel filed complaints. The anonymous Twitter user then posted the recordings to YouTube. Several people familiar with the company listened to the recordings and confirmed to CoinDesk that it was Wang speaking. In one of the files, the unknown person also addressed Wang by his full name. In a written response to CoinDesk on Sept. 30, a Babel representative said the company is unable to confirm the authenticity of the recordings because they are “fragmented” and “clearly artificially edited.” The representative said they can’t comment on the content of the recordings and claimed the accusations made by the anonymous publisher were baseless and not factual. Wang didn’t respond to CoinDesk’s request for comment on the recordings. Related: Aave Becomes Second DeFi Project to Overtake MakerDAO for Most Crypto Deposited Following Babel’s initial response to Decrypt that the recordings could be patched together, the anonymous Twitter account posted two longer recordings on Sept. 30 that contain the previous seven parts. The new recordings suggest the conversations happened around March 20. Story continues Founded in 2018, Babel Finance is registered in Hong Kong with operations based in China. It has essentially taken on the role of a crypto bank in the industry by offering both saving and lending products. One of its money drivers was the difference between lending and saving interest. But according to the leaked recordings, Babel also bet that bitcoin’s price would rise and leveraged both its own and some customer funds to long bitcoin, which faced potential default risks during bitcoin’s 60% crash six months ago. ‘It’s called X Plan’ In the additional recordings published on Sept. 30, Wang can be heard saying Babel started buying bitcoin in early 2019 when its price was around $3,000. The initial capital for those purchases came from the $750,000 raised from Neo Growth Capital (NGC) and another $4 million as deposits, also from NGC. When asked why NGC didn’t buy bitcoin with the $4 million, Wang said NGC wasn’t planning to use that money for such a purpose. An unidentified partner at NGC reportedly said he was not aware of the NGC funds being used to speculate on bitcoin’s price. Wang apparently said in the recording that Babel adopted a strategy where it pledged the bitcoin it purchased to another lender in order to borrow more money when bitcoin’s price went up to $4,000. With the newly borrowed money, it continued buying more bitcoin. When bitcoin’s price went up again, it repeated the same method, which put more leverage on its long positions. “We became the customer of ourselves,” Wang said in the recordings. “We kept increasing our [bitcoin long] positions starting from $3,000 all the way to $14,000,” Wang was heard saying in the recordings. “Initially we had about 3X leverage, but then we leveled up as bitcoin’s price surged.” Read more: What Crypto Lender Celsius Isn’t Telling Its Depositors “It’s called X Plan,” Wang said in the recording, seemingly referring to the leverage strategy. “Initially only Flex Yang [Babel’s CEO and the other co-founder] and I knew about it. But later on three other shareholders also became aware of the plan.” Babel declined to elaborate on X Plan or comment specifically on the usage of NGC’s funds in the beginning, claiming information with its customers is confidential. The apparent upside of this method is the multiplied return on the back of bitcoin’s bull run in the first half of 2019, when bitcoin went from $3,000 to $14,000. Wang said in the recording that when bitcoin reached $14,000, the firm did realize this was not a long-term game and initially set a profit-stop order at $18,000. Even though it had later lowered the stop order targets, it didn’t fully close its positions. “Had we closed our positions even at $10,500, we could have made net profits of two to three hundred million yuan [around $30 million to $40 million],” Wang was heard saying. But the downside was the risk of how quickly Babel’s crypto reserves could react to margin calls from its capital sources for more bitcoin if bitcoin’s price suffered a sudden plunge. User funds Babel boasts that it is one of the major crypto lenders in the world, claiming to have over $350 million in outstanding loans as of June 30 this year. But customers’ deposits only constitute a relatively small part of the money that’s available for borrowers. A majority of Babel’s capital comes from other institutional lenders. Babel’s CEO and co-founder Flex Yang said prior to March 12 his firm was able to enjoy a collateral-to-loan (CTL) rate as low as 100% for borrowing funds from its capital sources. The firm’s main capital partners included BlockFi, Genesis Capital and Tether at the time. That means Babel would only need to pledge $1 million worth of bitcoin in order to borrow $1 million of USDT . But, when lending this amount to its own customers, Babel required an over 160% CTL rate, meaning borrowers needed to put in over $1.6 million worth of bitcoin as collateral. As such, Babel would have the difference of the $600,000 worth of bitcoin collateral sitting on the liability side of its balance sheet. One reason Babel could enjoy a more attractive collateral rate from its capital sources is because it advertises that Chinese bitcoin miners who are able to generate bitcoin organically and meet margin calls if needed are its primary lending customers. In an ideal situation, the risk would be relatively low for Babel if it holds all the $600,000 bitcoin collateral in the example above within its reserve. But the reality appears to be muddier because Babel didn’t exactly draw a fine line between its own assets and user funds, according to Wang in the recording. Read more: SEC Orders Salt Lending to Offer Refunds to Investors in Its $47M ICO In the response to CoinDesk, Babel claimed that customers’ collateral is either stored in cold wallets or further lent out to counterparties while taking in USDT as collateral. “The situation of Babel using customers’ funds to trade crypto doesn’t exist,” the firm claimed in the statement. But then that raises a question of how it could even differentiate customers’ positions from its own long positions if they were bundled together to execute a leverage plan. In one of the recordings, the unknown person said to Wang: “Strictly speaking, these [user] funds do not belong to you, and you should not have used them as leverage.” “Right,” Wang answered, explaining: “The money we used to buy bitcoin came from our fundraise, our interest profits and profits we made through increasing our long positions.” The person went on to question: “If it was all just your own asset, you couldn’t have got this large [long] position. … That means you probably have also used parts of borrowers’ collateral and depositors’ funds.” Wang did not directly answer with a yes or no to that question but said that “if considering ourselves as a customer, then our funds and real users’ funds are all mixed up together.” “The good customers are the real customers. The bad customers are ourselves,” Wang was also heard saying in the recording. Babel declined to disclose how large its long positions were before this year’s March sell-off. March 12 The real risk didn’t start to materialize until March 12, when bitcoin’s price crashed by over 60% in a matter of a day. The sudden drop led to a severe devaluation of Babel’s collateral at its capital sources, to the extent that its collateral at Tether at one point was worth below 80% of what Babel had borrowed from the USDT issuer, people familiar with Babel’s operations told CoinDesk. The people said at that point Babel owed Tether 2,000 to 3,000 BTC just to meet the 100% CTL rate. If Tether chose to liquidate Babel’s position, itself would also suffer a loss since the bitcoin collateral it had was worth much less than the money it lent out at that point. When asked why Babel didn’t send in more bitcoin to meet the margin calls from its capital sources during the March 12 crash, Wang said in the recording the firm didn’t have the coins for its own positions. He said Babel later liquidated some borrowers’ positions worth 3,000 to 4,000 BTC but didn’t exactly sell them. Babel declined to comment on Wang’s comment about it falling short of reserves to meet margin calls but claimed it didn’t default any borrower due to its own violation of terms, such as failing to pay back collateral as demanded. Babel said it also didn’t default any institutional lenders and there was no forced liquidation from its capital partners due to Babel’s own violation of terms. But one smaller lending partner, Hong Kong-based OSL, force-liquidated Babel’s more than 500 BTC collateral following the March 12 crash, according to screenshots of conversations between the two seen and reviewed by CoinDesk. Yang said the forced liquidation came after Babel met OSL’s margin calls and subsequently blamed OSL for the act instead of itself. OSL has not yet responded to CoinDesk’s request for comment. In fact, the people familiar with the situation said when the March 12 crash happened, Babel asked for credit lo Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11246.35, 11205.89, 11747.02, 11779.77, 11601.47, 11754.05, 11675.74, 11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

A veteran in the industry, Speigner has witnessed many rivals come and go since launching the platform in 2015, when bitcoin’s price was in the low hundreds. The Path to Mainstream Crypto Adoption The value of bitcoin isn’t the only thing that’s changed since Speigner created a low-fee crypto wallet aimed at novices. The digital asset ecosystem has expanded exponentially, with numerous projects pushing the envelope as far as technological innovation is concerned. From the ICO boom to the birth of stablecoins via the Cash App and Facebook’s Libra, the landscape has changed immeasurably. While Speigner is proud to have “reached over 20 million wallets users and been used by so many first-time crypto users around the world,” he is keen to help the industry move to the elusive next level: mainstream adoption. There is no set criteria to determine when such a level will have been reached, but recent developments augur well: in June, news broke that PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL ) would roll out direct sales of cryptocurrency to its 325 million users. Payments giant Mastercard (NYSE: MA ), meanwhile, has been helping to power crypto-fiat payment cards ; it also just launched a testing platform to simulate the “issuance, distribution and exchange of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) between banks, financial service providers and consumers.” While some believe CBDCs will negatively affect cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, others – such as Grayscale Investment (OTCMKTS: GBTC ) CEO Barry Silbert – believe they will pave the way for institutional interest. “I find it interesting and encouraging that the likes of Mastercard and Bank of America have done an about-face from just a year ago, when they were banning crypto transactions,” says Jonathan Speigner. “The last holdouts have been governments and financial institutions, so I see this as the start of some really big changes for crypto and early adopters of crypto wallets. Story continues Jonathan Speigner Jonathan Speigner “While Coin.Space is a global brand, Bank of America – which has filed a patent for a crypto-inclusive digital currency wallet – will more than likely only be offered to US users. I hope Mastercard takes a more global approach.” They will certainly need to if they seek to “bank the unbanked,” a common enough goal touted by fintech companies, especially those in the cryptosphere. Having worked on the technical side of security as well as cryptocurrency and cloud computing, Speigner understands the challenges of achieving such an ambition – but he remains undaunted. “Anything that helps the unbanked I am in support of,” he explains, referencing the burgeoning decentralized finance (defi) movement that seeks to widen access to financial services and whose products include borrowing and lending. “From day one we’ve had the same goal, and I am most proud of achieving that in so many countries, with millions of crypto transactions. It’s very early days with defi, and there will be a lot of work to do. We are always watching to see how things like defi will play into and help with wallet adoptions. We have some exciting partnerships in the works with some defi leaders, actually.” A Crypto Wallet That’s Pro-Privacy Bitcoin was conceived as a digital currency that couldn’t be manipulated by authorities, a secure asset that empowers individuals to directly manage their own finances without relying on custodial service providers. However, many users have neglected to retain ownership of their private keys, meaning their funds sit on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges which are notoriously vulnerable to malicious attacks. This year alone, $1.4 billion has been stolen from crypto users – a large percentage of which was thieved from insecure exchange platforms. As a noncustodial wallet, Coin.Space is a different proposition, utilizing AES-256 and BIP 39 passphrase encryption and a four-digit PIN for wallet access. The wallet is also enabled with Tor and VPN support, and it’s been designed to ensure that even those with low bandwidth connections can still make transactions. “Security has been our number one priority and most of our roadmap is focused on adding more security for our users,” explains Speigner. “Hardware wallet-level security in a mobile wallet will be an industry first. Tor and VPN support were added due to customer requests, since some users desire an additional layer of security. They’ve also historically been needed by users whose governments have tried to block cryptocurrency. “Since we do not log or track users, I couldn’t say what percentage of users use VPN or Tor, but we want to make sure if they need to for their own reasons, we support that additional level of privacy for them.” Bullish on Bitcoin It doesn’t matter how useful or feature-rich they are; to many people, crypto wallets will always be synonymous with bitcoin. If the currency takes a hit, the very concept of a crypto wallet also suffers. So, what are Speigner’s impressions of bitcoin after the events of 2020, with BTC having broken the resistance level of $10,000 more than once? “I am bullish on crypto, don’t get me wrong – I spent five years building Coin.Space because I believe it's the future. But the emotional roller coaster of the ups and down of BTC, ETH or indeed any other crypto is something I have learned to put aside. We like to keep focused on adding new features and support new coins and other trends. From what I have seen, I think BTC will be around and stay at the benchmark for the foreseeable future.” Whatever happens, the CEO is unlikely to deviate from his mission to solidify Coin.Space’s status as a premier crypto wallet, with 20 million users in over 20 countries. With competition more intense than ever, and the likes of PayPal and Mastercard moving into the crypto business, it’ll be no mean feat.

So I told one of my buddies to buy everyone a round and Venmo me for whatever it cost. His response: “What’s Venmo?” It was one of about a billion times life has told me that you can’t go home again, but this story would come as no surprise to Lana Swartz, a media studies professor at the University of Virginia. She’s the author of the book “ New Money: How Payment Became Social Media ,” which goes into detail explaining how payment apps are more than tools. Related: Italian Payments Giants Merging to Form Entity That Will Dominate Local Market In short: Payment signals affiliation. Swartz calls payment groupings “transactional communities,” and every credit card or national currency represents one. As Swartz writes in her book, “Venmo is not a wallet, it’s a conversation.” I’ve joined it. My old friends are still splitting the tab by hand. So it goes. What about crypto? “New Money” is a read that will force members of any crypto tribe to ask themselves: Who am I? What does using ETH or BTC or XLM or ATOM say about me and those with whom I affiliate? Swartz’s book is all about the complex story of how payments work, and what your chosen currency says about you. Related: The Standard About to Revolutionize Payments Acknowledging this, Swartz describes blockchain in particularly in a grand way, writing: “A money that remembers better is, for many people, the ‘dream’ promised by blockchain, a perfect transactional memory, a truly distributed ledger of all money’s distributed agency, eternal and transcendent of human incapacity, remembering everything and beholden to no one.” As Swartz put it when we spoke, there was a camp of early Bitcoiners, those who counted themselves among the cypherpunks or an adjacent group, who knew that “getting the money right will either be a matter of having the internet be just another overlay on the existing kind of tyranny, existing power, or it could really be an opportunity for changing society for the better.” Story continues Read more: Bitcoin and the Rise of the Cypherpunks But, since Bitcoin, more than a thousand cryptocurrencies have sprung up, and 25 of those (as of this writing) have market capitalizations greater than $1 billion. Nothing gets to that kind of value without some number of people buying into its message. But blockchain tribes tell garbled stories about themselves; each credit card company knows exactly how it wants its customers to see themselves. Peasants into Frenchmen It should be noted that “New Money” is about payment, not crypto, but it gives crypto a respectful spot in the overall story, which is a useful one for this industry. Adopting a given kind of money has long helped instill a shared identity. In our conversation, Swartz and I revisited her book’s discussion of Eugen Weber , the UCLA historian who wrote in 1976 of how the French franc was a key tool in turning “ peasants into Frenchmen ” because using it gave them a transactional community, one where the fruits of their labor could be redeemed far from home. Since nations demonstrated the efficacy of creating transactional communities to bind their people, the private sector has just gone on building more and more transactional communities on top of fiat. Swartz describes how traveler’s checks were a way for wealthy people to show that their money was good all over the world. Charge cards were a way for businessmen to show they were elite.

Top shelf Accredited investor interest Bitwise’s bitcoin fund has brought in $8.9 million, the single-largest increase in assets raised in the fund’s two-year history, according to a recently amended filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The firm’s Bitcoin Fund provides accredited U.S. investors with exposure to bitcoin through a traditional product. In 2019, the fund attracted $4.1 million in investment, meaning the fund has more than doubled in size the past year. Bitwise executives pointed to fears of inflation and bitcoin’s role as a hedge as reasons for increased interest in their product. Bitcoin’s well-known volatility is often seen as a barrier to entry for institutional clients, but the cryptocurrency has in fact been more stable than Tesla’s (TSLA) stock.

The platform is designed to enable companies to run private end-to-end procurement activities by allowing buyers and sellers to operate as networks, while automatically tracking volumes and spend and utilizing agreed terms and pricing. The platform utilizes open-source software including the Microsoft-backed Baseline Protocol and operates on the public Ethereum blockchain, CoinDesk’s Sebastian Sinclair reports. Twitter’s blockchain Jack Dorsey said blockchain is the future of Twitter and his latest initiative is looking to hire at least five new roles, while speaking at the virtual Oslo Freedom Forum 2020 on Friday. The CEO of Twitter and Square revealed details of the nonprofit Blue Sky initiative meant to create an open standard for social media. Under this vision, users can contribute to and access data from a decentralized version of Twitter instead of a centralized service where the social media platform hosts content on its website. “Blockchain and bitcoin point to a future, point to a world, where content exists forever,” Dorsey said. “We’re not in the content hosting business anymore, we’re in the discovery business.” Story continues KuCoin hack Over the weekend, a hacker breached KuCoin’s hot wallets absconding with some $150 million in crypto. KuCoin said in a statement that it detected large withdrawals of bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) tokens to an unknown wallet beginning at 19:05 UTC time on Friday. The exchange’s chief executive Johnny Lyu said KuCoin has transferred the remaining funds from compromised wallets to new addresses and momentarily froze customer deposits and withdrawals. While other exchanges including Bitfinex and Tether have blacklisted the stolen funds. An investigation is underway and stolen customer money will be “covered completely” by an insurance fund, Lyu said. DeFi goes NFT The excitement in DeFi has shifted to the NFT market, CoinDesk’s Brady Dale reports. NFTs, one-of-a-kind tokens made possible by Ethereum’s ERC-721 standard, have not captivated investor attention until quite recently when people realized these digital collectibles could be used for yield farming. Platforms like NIFTEX have enabled NFT indices, Rarible has added a native token and Uniswap’s liquidity pools are creating new avenues for financialization – a trend Dale traces back to John Lyall’s MEME experiment.

Market intel Five digit streak Bitcoin closed Sunday at $10,793 setting a record of 63 consecutive daily closes above $10,000, according to market data aggregated by Messari. The bellwether cryptocurrency’s previous record 62-day streak above $10,000 lasted from Dec. 1, 2017, through Jan. 31, 2018, when bitcoin reached its all-time high of just above $19,900 on Coinbase, CoinDesk’s Zack Voell reports. Exchanges down? The balance of bitcoin on major exchanges has hit its lowest levels since November 2018, potentially signalling a bullish view from bitcoin holders, as they move to longer-term holding strategies, such as cold wallets. Additionally, a rise in new investors during the coronavirus pandemic has led to a growth in “white glove” services, meaning fewer bitcoin on exchanges and more in managed portfolios. Another possible explanation? Bitcoin is being moved to tokenization solutions for use in the DeFi ecosystem, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shen reports. Op-ed Stablecoin guidance Reading between the lines, CoinDesk Director of Research Noelle Acheson thinks the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) latest stablecoin guidance is more than a nudge for the industry. “This could incentivize banks to actively seek stablecoin business, and in so doing, broaden both their client base and their stake in crypto markets… So, a bank could attract not just stablecoin issuers, but also their clients. It would then make sense to facilitate the transfers of stablecoins between clients, and (why not) even between banks. New payments networks could emerge, which in turn could give rise to a host of new banking services,” she writes.

Examining the history of how DEXs have evolved can help elucidate where DEXs are headed and how they will compete with centralized exchanges.\nDEXs come in a variety of forms, but share one common quality: non-custodial. DEXs use smart contracts to manage funds on-chain, so users never have to trust a third party with their money.\nRelated:First Mover: Day in the Life of a Yield Farmer Means Part-Time Gig, Full-Time Risk\nHowever, theexchangepart of a DEX – the way buyers and sellers find each other – can vary widely from one implementation to another. When thinking about the future of DEXs, it’s helpful to first understand their past.\nAlex Wearn is the co-founder and CEO of IDEX, a high-performance DEX. He has spent his career in software development, including time at Amazon, Adobe, and IBM. He has been hacking on crypto startups since 2014, transitioning to full time with the launch of IDEX in 2018.\nThe earliest Ethereum DEXs, like EtherEx and OasisDex, built a traditional central limit order book (CLOB) exchange entirely out of Ethereum smart contracts. Developers and users quickly discovered that order management and trade execution are not well suited for a blockchain. In particular, the placing and cancelling of orders by market makers, and the interaction of traders with the on-chain order book, were expensive and error prone due to the high costs and latency of on-chain transactions.\nIn mid-2016, a new exchange, EtherDelta, innovated on this model by bringing the order book off-chain. This design eliminated the cost of order creation and reduced the latency and gas costs of placing an order.\nRelated:Open Interest in CME Bitcoin Futures Slides as Market Sapped by Surging DeFi\nWhile it was a major improvement, users still incurred costs for canceling orders – a fee which prohibited market makers from providing liquidity at scale. Additionally, takers submitted their own trades to the network, creating on-chain “trade collisions,” with multiple takers competing for the same order. On peak days, up to 30% of trades failed due to these on-chain collisions.\nAlthough the first iterations of DEXs faded over time, they were innovative, forward-thinking, and laid the groundwork for models in use today.\nImproving upon the earliest DEX models, the next generation of DEXs, including IDEX and DDEX, explored a hybrid approach. This design moved both order books and trade execution off-chain. With off-chain execution, users match their own orders but submit them to the exchange, which executes the trade and relays the order to the network for settlement. This approach eliminates the issues of on-chain trade collisions, gas fees for canceled orders, and front-running.

That means traders can keep an eye on exchange wallets to gauge whether investors and crypto miners are getting their bitcoin into position for a possible sale — or taking balances down from the exchanges in anticipation of holding for the longer term. The latter might be what’s happening now, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shenreported Monday. Total balances of bitcoin on major exchanges has hit its lowest levels since November 2018. It could be an indication of bullishness among bitcoin traders. Related:Binance CEO Says He Fully Expects DeFi to Cannibalize His Crypto Exchange “There’s no reason to sell now,” Mike Alfred, CEO of Digital Assets Data, told Shen in a phone interview. “Why would you be selling when you’re at the beginning of a wave of potential corporate treasuries and institutional investors coming in?” Another interpretation, according to Arcane Research, is that traders are taking their bitcoin off exchanges to deploy them in the decentralized finance sector, known as DeFi. Juicy returns can be obtained fromtokenizingcrypto assets and depositing them as collateral in semi-automated, blockchain-based trading and lending platforms. As CoinDeskreported earlierthis week, tokenized bitcoin has become one of the largest assets on DeFi. Currently, there are more than 108,000 BTC worth some $1.1 billion minted from seven issuers, according toDune Analytics. That might be another bullish sign.

The cryptocurrency’s weekly chart MACD histogram, an indicator used to identify trend changes and trend strength, has dipped below zero for the first time since March, indicating a bearish shift in the broader trend.

The decentralized trading platform announced around 00:30 UTC time Thursday it launched its governance token, dubbed UNI, with 1 billion coins that will be released over the next four years. While the liquidity mining for the governance token will not start until Friday, Uniswap said historical users and liquidity providers on the platform are now able to claim for 400 UNI per each address.

Following the announcement, the number of pending transactions on the Ethereum network per minute has jumped from around 160,000 to over 210,000 as of writing, according to data on blockchain explorer Etherscan . Within three hours after the claim started, over 18,000 transactions were sent to the smart contract address of the UNI governance token, with more than 5,000 of them pending at the time. The total number of transactions has now reached over 26,000 while the pending ones have dropped to around 3,700 as of writing. The increasing number of transactions sent to the UNI smart contract appears to have led to a surge of the gas fee on the Ethereum network, which Uniswaps protocol is built on.

Today's Key News: ['Cryptocurrency exchange\xa0KuCoin is bringing more services back online after suffering a major hack late last month. In a service update early on Wednesday, the Seychelles-based platform said it is once more allowing deposits and withdrawals for bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and the tether (USDT) stablecoin after upgrading wallet security for those cryptocurrencies. KuCoin noted that wallet addresses for these coins had been refreshed and, while the older addresses would still work, it recommended users update. The USDT version for the Ethereum blockchain is now open for deposits and withdrawals, while those for Tron, EOS are deposit only. Tether on Omni cannot yet be deposited or withdrawn. Full services have been resumed for 65 other cryptocurrency projects, it added. After the breach, which saw $281 million in various crypto assets such as XRP and Ethereum-based coins stolen, KuCoin had moved to freeze all wallets and disable services. On Oct. 3, the company’s CEO, Johnny Lyu, claimed the suspected hackers had been traced and that it had informed law enforcement agencies. Lyu further claimed that another $64 million of stolen cryptos had been recovered, bringing the total value of recovered assets to $204 million at the time. In its latest update on the incident, also posted Wednesday, the exchange said other entities are continuing to help retrieve funds, with Tether having frozen “about $22 million” in stolen USDT. Other projects like Ocean Protocol have returned recovered coins to KuCoin wallets, though the amount involved wasn’t disclosed. KuCoin also provided a list of suspicious addresses related to the hack and recommended they be added to blacklists.

The company said on Friday that it has partnered with New York-based Foundry Digital LLC and a Southeast Asian company in order to improve supply chain efficiencies for North American buyers of its flagship bitcoin mining equipment. The Southeast Asian listed company – which MicroBT declined to name – is contracted to produce and deliver MicroBT’s WhatsMiner equipment to U.S. investors, who would otherwise pay an additional 25% tax if they receive shipments directly from China due to U.S. tariffs. Related:Iran Is Ripe for Bitcoin Adoption, Even as Government Clamps Down on Mining The strategy is similar to that adopted by Beijing-based Bitmain, which contracts a production factory in Malaysia responsible for overseas manufacturing and shipments. As part of the deal, Foundry, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG) that provides miner financing and procurement for institutions in North America, will be the first to receive new batches of MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M30S equipment produced in the Southeast Asian facility. DCG, which wholly owns CoinDesk, previouslysaidit plans to invest more than $100 million into its Foundry business through 2021 to provide loans to bitcoin mining clients as well as buying equipment for them in bulk. “With our collaboration and MicroBT’s upgraded production capabilities, we look forward to continuing to facilitate the timely procurement and delivery of the latest generation bitcoin mining hardware for our clients, who are institutional cryptocurrency miners in North America,” said Mike Colyer, CEO of Foundry. Related:Marty Bent on Why Bitcoin and Big Energy Are Unlikely Allies The move also underscores MicroBT’s effort to keep challenging Beijing-based Bitmain’s dominance in the bitcoin miner market, both domestically and overseas. MicroBT managed to boost its market share by selling some 600,000 WhatsMiner units worth more than $500 million in 2019. This coincided with Bitmain’s ongoing internal turmoil, which has caused notable production and shipment delays. “The Foundry team’s in-depth understanding of the mining business and regional expertise have already helped us in making the initial tests of this new supply chain a success,” said MicroBT’s COO Jiangbing Chen. “We will continue working closely with Foundry to provide the highest quality of machines and after-sale services to our customers in North America.” Also read:Jihan Wu Regains Upper Hand in Bitmain Co-Founder Fight • MicroBT Sets Up First Offshore Bitcoin Miner Factory to Expand US Market Share • MicroBT Sets Up First Offshore Bitcoin Miner Factory to Expand US Market Share... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/DuncnIdahosBandurria', 'DITO rockets up 20%, drops 30%, then finishes flat... the Aristocrats!

But this last week was especially spicy, with yesterday’s session just an absolute gong-show that caused brokerage meltdowns. DITO opened the day at P7/share, up 3% on the previous day’s close, and steadily gained to a high-water mark of P8.02/share (+18%) at around 11:45am. At 11:45am, DITO had a marketcap of P22.5bn. In the next 27 minutes, DITO would lose P7.4bn in marketcap as the price imploded to P5.38/share, swinging from an 18% gain on the day to a 21% loss. Then, over the next 30 minutes, completely erasing that loss and ending the day right where it started, at P6.81/share. 2.09 billion shares changed hands on the PSE yesterday; DITO accounted for 16% of the day’s total volume (355 million shares). The three companies combined accounted for over 28% of all shares traded.\r\n> - *MB:* MB: The amount of market uncertainty here is incredible. Traders love it, investors hate it. DITO doesn’t even own DITO Telecommunity, or anything else of material value for that matter, NOW just diluted shareholders with a bearish low-price sweetheart deal, and Chelsea is a company of tugboats and passenger ferries that happens to own a sliver of Dennis Uy’s enigmatic telecom. NOW has a long history of playing the “press release pump and dump” game, and I can only imagine that it’s happy just to be along for the ride, fluffing feathers before a potential IPO by way of introduction. Everyone in the Philippines can sense that connectivity is a bull market, whether that be mobile data (C, GLO, TEL.... then NOW) or broadband (GLO, TEL, CNVRG)...so money just keeps pouring into telco-related stocks. And it makes sense, too, given how few options there are right now on the PSE for anything that looks both pandemic-resilient and secularly profitable. But some of these things are not like the others. Some of these things will crush it, and some will not. Be careful trading telcos that you remember whether you’re being a trader (short term) or an investor (long term). Don’t start out as a trader, forget to place stops, then wind up as an investor with an investment that’s underwater. BE CAREFUL. EDIT: Also, COL Financial, get your act together. You blew AREIT and MM, and you blew yesterday\'s Telecommotion. At this point, traders/investors should not make plans in reliance on COL Financial\'s execution of a buy or sell trade.\r\n\r\nMB is posted to /r/PHinvest every Monday and Wednesday, but my newsletter goes out daily.

Traders showed little reaction to a pair of domestic reports and a balance of trade report from China. Stocks were lower in Asia, but closed in the U.S. so it was difficult for traders to gauge whether this was a risk-off or risk-on session. At 09:34 GMT, theAUD/USDwas trading .7282, down 0.0003 or -0.04%. Domestically, the AIG Services Index came in at 42.5, below the previously reported 44.0. The ANZ Job Advertisements report was 1.6%. However, the previous report was revised higher to 19.1%. In other news that could have an impact on Australia’s economy,China’s dollar-denominated exports rose 9.5%for the month of August whileimports fell 2.1%in the same period, data from the country’s General Administration of Customs showed on Monday. Economists polled by Reuters had expected exports to have climbed 7.1% in August from a year ago compared with a 7.2% rise in July, while imports were expected to climb 0.1% in August from a year ago, reversing a 1.4% decline in July. The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart, however, momentum has been trending lower since the formation of the closing price reversal top on September 1. A trade through .7414 will negate the closing price reversal top and signal a resumption of the uptrend. The main trend will change to down on a trade through the nearest main bottom at .7136. The short-term range is .7136 to .7414. Its retracement zone at .7275 to .7242 is potential support and also a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the downside. This area was straddled on Friday and is providing support today. The new minor range is .7414 to .7222. Its retracement zone at .7318 to .7341 is the next potential upside target. The main support is the retracement zone at .7123 to .7055. Traders should pay attention to a rally back to .7318 to .7341. This is because aggressive counter-trend sellers are likely to come in on a test of this area in an effort to form a potentially bearish secondary lower top. On the downside, the key level is the short-term Fibonacci level at .7242. Although the AUD/USD broke through this level on Friday, the selling wasn’t strong enough to sustain the break. Nonetheless, traders should continue to watch this level. If sellers take out .7242 with conviction, we could see an acceleration to the downside since the next major support doesn’t come in until .7136 to .7109.

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: ['Let’s say you’re a 17-year-old high school senior. You finished near the top of your class, you nailed your SATs and now you’re trying to figure out where to go to college. Option A is an elite university that will likely (but not certainly) reward you with a decent job, but it will also guarantee a crushing $200,000 in debt, and who knows what the economy will look like in four years, or even if we have an economy, or even if we have a planet? This story is part of the CoinDesk U series about blockchain at universities. See our ranking of U.S. universities here . Related: Looking for a Job in Crypto? Here Are 5 Skills You Need Option B is a school that “only” leaves you with $80,000 in debt but it has the whiff of mediocre compromise. What if there’s a Secret Option C? What if, theoretically, you could get the same caliber of education as the Ivy League, at the fraction of the cost, through some non-traditional classes and self-study? You’re skeptical. It sounds like a scam. Like an infomercial. And who would trust this DIY college degree? Now what if your dream employer had the same trust in your DIY degree as a diploma from Harvard? What if he or she genuinely believed that because you demonstrated a certain fluency in Japanese or mastery of coding or grasp of Murakami’s short stories, that you are the same caliber of graduate as a senior from Yale? What if all these credentials were trusted because they were – wait for it – verified on the blockchain? Related: The Best Blockchain University Programs Actually Pay Students to Learn Maybe this is where you roll your eyes. “Blockchain can revolutionize education,” of course, will elicit the same skepticism as “Blockchain will revolutionize the world.” Yet given the soaring costs of higher education, if blockchain can put any competitive pressure on the system, that alone would be a win. That future will not happen magically, it will not happen overnight, and it starts with a few modest early steps. That future starts with programs like what’s quietly brewing at the University of Colorado at Boulder, led by an entrepreneur-turned-blockchain-professor named Hunter Albright. Story continues Blockchain University Opportunities The plan was to meet in person, on the campus of UC Boulder, and speak to the students about blockchain. That plan, like most plans in 2020, was scotched. “The students are back in quarantine,” Albright tells me over Zoom. In August, a new spike in COVID-19 cases forced the school to switch from hybrid classes back to remote. So here we are, once again awkwardly staring into our computer monitors, not quite making eye contact. Albright is tall and fit. At 49, he looks just a bit like James Comey. He’s the founder and executive director of the University of Colorado Blockchain Alliance , the CEO of Curve10 (a firm that helps inventors with product design) and the de facto Godfather of UC Boulder’s blockchain initiatives, which include pilot programs for self-sovereign identity, putting college credentials on the blockchain and using the blockchain for student elections. UC Boulder isn’t the biggest or the first university to embrace blockchain, but the school’s nascent program gives a window into the opportunities – and tricky challenges – of injecting blockchain into mainstream academia. To throw a slap of cold water on the hype and misinformation: There’s no Blockchain Degree, no Blockchain Masters Program and not even a Blockchain Minor. “I don’t know if there’s a demand or a need for a degree, to be honest,” says Albright in his clear, slow, friendly cadence. If students take four blockchain-related courses at the graduate level – such as Distributed Systems, the Mathematics of CryptoSystems, or “Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies – Speculation or Innovation?” – then they can earn a blockchain “certificate” as a sort of degree add-on. (No student has earned this certificate yet; the program is new.) Albright first offered Introduction to Blockchain in Spring 2019, available to both undergraduates and graduates, primarily from the engineering and business schools. “That class filled up instantly,” remembers Jack Rice, who took the course as an undergraduate sophomore. Rice entered UC Boulder as a pre-med student, but he had already caught the crypto bug, building an Ethereum mining server as a teenager. (The mining “didn’t work out super well” as the price of Ethereum collapsed.) Rice, who’s now the president of the school’s Blockchain Club, is not exactly sure what he wants to do when he graduates – he switched from Pre-Med to Information Sciences – but now he’s mulling over blockchain-enabled startup ideas. Rice says that when business ideas float through his head, he frequently asks himself, “We do it one way now, and how can I use blockchain to improve upon it?” Other students were simply curious about the new tech and how it could, potentially, give them an edge in their future careers. “Once something new comes out, I just want to learn it, just to satisfy my curiosity,” says Hare Muthusamy, a grad student studying software development, who moved from India to enroll at UC Boulder. Muthusamy didn’t want to just learn about the concepts of blockchain – he wanted to play with it, build with it. Through the Blockchain Alliance, he worked with Albright on creating an application for the Blockchain Research Network, which aims to aggregate crypto academia. With Albright’s coaching, Muthusamy built a decentralized system that allows researchers to anonymously upload papers for peer review, and then a network of academic reviewers – across multiple universities – could anonymously review the study, and then the materials all live on the blockchain. “The course covered the theoretical concepts, and the project I did with Hunter covered the practical concepts,” explains Muthusamy. Most students aren’t taking these courses to prepare for a career in blockchain, but rather to scratch an itch (a natural curiosity) or to give their degree a bit of crypto gloss. This squares with the insights from Olta Andoni , a professor at Chicago-Kent law school, who teaches a course on blockchain and the law. Even though she is known as a “crypto-attorney,” she says most of her students do not take the class with that intent, and she stressed this several times during our call: “If you are a potential law school applicant, do not go in with the intent to become a crypto-attorney.” Andoni has found that teaching blockchain involves some odd challenges, starting with the uncertainty over how much the class already knows. “The level of knowledge is very diverse [among] the students,” she says. When you teach a course like, say, “maritime law,” the odds are good that every student begins with a similar level of ignorance. Not with crypto. Some build their own Ethereum mining servers and others think Bitcoin wallets come in leather. Other challenges: What do you use as a textbook? Outside of Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, there are few source materials that all agree are canon. “There’s been a lot of struggle in finding the right source materials,” says Angela Walch , a professor of Law at St. Mary’s, who has been teaching blockchain since 2013. “Sometimes I’ve been very surprised to find what instructors are using.” For example, Walch has misgivings about the use of 2016’s “ Blockchain Revolution ” by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott as a primary text. “That’s been very worrying to me, as I view that [book] as largely hype.” I struggle with how much I should do crypto, and how much I should do blockchain in my course. And even if you curate the perfect teaching materials, what should be included in the course? “This can be quite contentious,” says Kevin Werbach , a professor at the Wharton Business School, who also teaches a blockchain-focused class. He contrasts blockchain to a field like chemistry, where there’s not much dispute about the periodic table. Werbach – and every blockchain professor – needs to make judgment calls, such as whether enterprise distributed ledgers should be taught. (He says yes.) “I struggle with how much I should do crypto, and how much I should do blockchain in my course,” says Angela Walch. “You can’t cover it all.” As the tree of blockchain has grown, it’s harder to master every branch and twig. “You cannot be an expert on what is happening in the blockchain supply chain, at the same time as you’re an expert on blockchain voting, at the same time you’re an expert on DeFi,” she says. “They’re all their own intricate specialized worlds.” A more subtle challenge is that the overall interest in these courses, perhaps not surprisingly, seems to wax and wane with the price of bitcoin . “Each time we have a boom in the cryptocurrency market, I do see a lot more interest from students,” says Andoni. Werbach remembers an “explosion in activity” during the 2017 ICO bubble. In contrast, these days he’s “not seeing a mass of students knocking on the door.” Walch goes even further. “To be honest, I’m sensing a little bit of a lull in the interest in blockchain education,” she says, adding that the slowdown could simply be due to the pandemic, quarantine, or the 5,000 other complications of 2020. Walch, who has been teaching blockchain since nearly the dawn of crypto time, also wonders who should count as an “expert” in this nascent field. “I really wrestle with who’s qualified to teach about these topics,” she says. “They’re incredibly multi-disciplinary, so claims of expertise have to be made with an asterisk.” Hunter Albright largely agrees, although he views that very ambiguity as one of the appealing challenges. “There are very few experts in general in this space,” he says. “Some of it is just a willingness to be sort of open and to discuss the ideas.” Albright is the first to admit he’s not the “end-all-be-all in terms of the knowledge,” but thinks the mark of a good blockchain professor is a blend of humility, curiosity and eagerness to en Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11878.11, 11410.53, 11584.93, 11784.14, 11768.87, 11865.70, 11892.80, 12254.40, 11991.23, 11758.28, 11878.37, 11592.49, 11681.83, 11664.85, 11774.60, 11366.13, 11488.36, 11323.40, 11542.50, 11506.87, 11711.51, 11680.82, 11970.48, 11414.03, 10245.30, 10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45, 10575.97, 10549.33, 10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

DeFi trading platforms like Uniswap, Curve and Balancer have appealed to cryptocurrency traders with their low cost and ease of use, and they’re now starting to steal a growing and no-longer-negligible share of market trading volumes from bigger, established exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Huobi and OKEx. These “centralized” exchanges – the term is sometimes tossed around with a sneer – are rolling out new business initiatives they describe as decentralized, in an apparent bid to cash in on the trend and stanch a further exodus of customers. Related: Ethereum’s Pending Transactions Jump 30% After Uniswap’s Token Claim Begins Huobi, a Chinese-led cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles, announced Tuesday it is adding 10 new members to its DeFi initiative, described as “a consortium of centralized and decentralized financial services providers.” The announcement came just a day after Huobi’s arch-rival, OKEx, which is also Chinese-led but based in Malta, said its OKxChain network was the most decentralized public blockchain powered by an exchange. And last week, Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, announced an integration of its centralized trading platform with its decentralized public blockchain, Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao even seemed to acknowledge the threat during his company’s recent “World of DeFi” summit , where he said, “It’s always better to disrupt yourself than having somebody else disrupt you first.” Running a decentralized exchange is cheaper, according to CZ. Story continues Related: Uniswap Launches Governance Token in Bid to Keep Up With Rival AMM SushiSwap And OKEx CEO Jay Hao told CoinDesk in an email that “it’s impossible to ignore the compelling promise of DeFi, and we are firm believers that it will succeed.” Charts of bitcoin held at big exchanges show declining balances over the past several weeks, and Simon Chen of the Hong Kong-based crypto trading firm Babel Finance says one likely explanation is that some of the cryptocurrency is getting transferred to DeFi. In August, DEXs accounted for a 5% share of total crypto exchange volumes, according to a Sept. 14 report by the cryptocurrency-analysis firm Messari. The business is dominated by the “automated market makers” Uniswap, Curve and Balancer. “The exchange business has proven itself to be incredibly lucrative for crypto and automated market makers are starting to receive their slice of the pie,” Messari analyst Jack Purdy wrote in the report. Binance’s CZ said he will be “really happy on the day when decentralized exchanges replace centralized exchanges,” at least partly because the company’s BNB digital tokens “will be worth much more.” Su Zhu, CEO of the cryptocurrency-focused investment fund Three Arrows Capital, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message that centralized exchanges could still be a “gateway to DeFi, but not where users ultimately spend their time.” “The centralized exchanges will end up acting like a white label,” Zhu said. – Muyao Shen Read More: Binance, Huobi, OKEx Have FOMO for DeFi Bitcoin Watch Bitcoin’s dip remained well supported ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, due at 18:00 UTC.

The cryptocurrency may rise above the $11,000 mark if the Fed announces more stimulus measures, having cut rates to zero, launched asset purchase programs and signaled tolerance for high inflation earlier this year. Analysts, however, expect the Fed to maintain the status quo and reiterate willingness to do more if required.

It identifies the psychological requirement for a free society. Most people today are deeply afraid of responsibility. Responsibility includes making decisions for oneself. One must identify and choose one's values, career, place of residence, etc.\n\nFor the majority today, this strikes fear: One's job is not guaranteed, learning new skills for employment is challenging, planning and making provisions for emergencies and periods of illness is uncertain, etc. At the root of this fear is a mistrust of one's self-efficacy, which can be further traced to bad philosophy that has accepted Immanuel Kant's tricky, but false, argument against self-efficacy and has permeated across all of our culture. But I digress.\n\nThis majority fear of responsibility seeds the corruption of the concept of individual rights. The concept of individual rights emerged from the recognition that in society, individuals may initiate force on each other. Thus, individual rights are freedoms from the initiation of force to do something. The right to life, liberty, property, and happiness means that one ought to pursue those things free from others initiating force.\n\nContrastly, individual rights are not entitlements. This is a critical distinction: Entitlements benefit some people at the expense of others' detriment; freedoms are absent of anyone's detriment. In order to fulfill an entitlement politically, it's enforced by initiating force: Someone is forced to fulfill another's entitlement because it's the law. When individual rights are properly understood as freedoms, there is no initiation of force because it's voluntary and anyone can back away if the terms are not worth the trade.", 'j89da4']]], ['u/BlandTomato', "Imagine if you only had $18.50 to split between 7800 people.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 2.14% on Saturday. Following on from a 1.17% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,308.0 It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rallied from an intraday low $11,071.0 to an early morning intraday high $11,505.0. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,186 and the second major resistance level at $11,300. Hitting resistance at $11,500, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$11,300 levels before finding support in the afternoon. A move back through to $11,400 levels was brief, however, with Bitcoin falling back to end the day at $11,300 levels. The second major resistance level at $11,300 delivered support late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Cardano’s ADA rallied by 3.65% to lead the way. Crypto.com Coin (+2.10%) and Litecoin (+2.26%) weren’t far behind. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.53%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.47%), Chainlink (+1.01%), Ethereum (1.48%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.36%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. Binance Coin (-0.04%) and Polkadot (-2.33%) bucked the trend on the day, however. In the current week, the crypto total market slid to a Wednesday low $322.55bn before rising to a Saturday high $357.46bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $350.08bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.15% before rising to a Tuesday high 61.29%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.04%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.49% to $11,363.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $11,297.0 before striking a high $11,402.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.83%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.39%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.39%), Chainlink (-1.14%), and Polkadot (-0.88%) saw red early on.. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 1.16% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,295 to bring the first major resistance level at $11,518 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,700 and the second major resistance level at $11,729. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,295 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,084 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$11,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $10,861.

The interest has created a new crypto hype that is more than just reminiscent of the 2017 ICO boom. As was the case back in 2017, there are a mass number of protocols hitting the crypto market. This time around, the focus has shifted away from the CeFi space to DeFi . Decentralized Finance, better known as DeFi has become the buzz word of 2020. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market delivered blockchain technology and decentralization. There was, however, an element of centralization in the CeFi space. Centralized finance became laden with governance and KYC/AML requirements and more in order to meet investor and government demands. DeFi, by contrast, currently stands as truly decentralized. With an ethos of Permissionless and Trustless, there is no actual governance. And, there are no KYC/AML requirements. In fact, to access decentralized finance all a user needs is a wallet. In concept alone, it is a mouthwatering prospect. True cryptocurrencies have yet to really make a dent in fiat money’s unwavering position as a primary payment source. When considering the unbanked, the disgruntled, and the anonymous, however, DeFi may well give the banking sector a run for its money. The Projects and the Returns As entrepreneurs and scam artists enter the world of DeFi, a number of protocols have caught the eye amidst the mist… While there are no guarantees that these protocols will be here tomorrow, there is the hope and with it the dream of incredible earnings potential. Based on DeFi market caps from Coingecko , some of the more promising protocols that have enjoyed early success. These include: Chainlink (“LINK”) Chainlink sits at the top of the DeFi coin charts at the time of writing. Not only is Chainlink at the top of the DeFi list, but Chainlink’s meteoric rise has also seen it join the crypto giants in the top 10 by market. CoinMarketCap has Chainlink currently sitting at number 8, impressively outgunning the likes of Litecoin… Story continues Year-to-date return: 473.2% to the end of day 28 th September 2020. What’s the hype? With DeFi driven by smart contracts, Chainlink connects smart contracts to data sources. Additionally, users can send payments from a smart contract to bank accounts and payment networks. Dai Dai sits at number 3 on the DeFi market cap table and is ranked at number 25 on the CoinMarket Cap.

According to the announcement, shares of both trusts will be available for trading on over-the-counter (OTC) markets under the symbols BCGG (Bitcoin Cash) and LTCN (Litecoin). Up until this point, these trusts did not trade publicly. The shares were only available to institutional and accredited investors through private placement offerings, Grayscale Managing Director Michael Sonnenshein told The Block. "Grayscale’s products have built-in security and storage, audited financials, and provide tax reporting. They’re titled securities and eligible for investment through tax-advantaged accounts. So, it’s exciting to give investors the opportunity to access Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin directly from their brokerage account or invest from their retirement account," Sonnenshein said.

DeFi trading platforms like Uniswap, Curve and Balancer have appealed to cryptocurrency traders with their low cost and ease of use, and they’re now starting to steal a growing and no-longer-negligible share of market trading volumes from bigger, established exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Huobi and OKEx. These “centralized” exchanges – the term is sometimes tossed around with a sneer – are rolling out new business initiatives they describe as decentralized, in an apparent bid to cash in on the trend and stanch a further exodus of customers. Related:Ethereum’s Pending Transactions Jump 30% After Uniswap’s Token Claim Begins Huobi, a Chinese-led cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles, announced Tuesday it is adding 10 new members to its DeFi initiative, described as “a consortium of centralized and decentralized financial services providers.” The announcement came just a day after Huobi’s arch-rival, OKEx, which is also Chinese-led but based in Malta, said its OKxChain network was the most decentralized public blockchain powered by an exchange. And last week, Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, announced anintegrationof its centralized trading platform with its decentralized public blockchain, Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao even seemed to acknowledge the threatduring his company’s recent “World of DeFi” summit, where he said, “It’s always better to disrupt yourself than having somebody else disrupt you first.” Running a decentralized exchange is cheaper, according to CZ. Related:Uniswap Launches Governance Token in Bid to Keep Up With Rival AMM SushiSwap And OKEx CEO Jay Hao told CoinDesk in an email that “it’s impossible to ignore the compelling promise of DeFi, and we are firm believers that it will succeed.” Charts ofbitcoinheld at big exchanges show declining balances over the past several weeks, and Simon Chen of the Hong Kong-based crypto trading firm Babel Finance says one likely explanation is that some of the cryptocurrency is getting transferred to DeFi. In August, DEXs accounted for a 5% share of total crypto exchange volumes, according to a Sept. 14 report by the cryptocurrency-analysis firm Messari. The business is dominated by the “automated market makers” Uniswap, Curve and Balancer. “The exchange business has proven itself to be incredibly lucrative for crypto and automated market makers are starting to receive their slice of the pie,” Messari analyst Jack Purdy wrote in the report. Binance’s CZ said he will be “really happy on the day when decentralized exchanges replace centralized exchanges,” at least partly because the company’s BNB digital tokens “will be worth much more.” Su Zhu, CEO of the cryptocurrency-focused investment fund Three Arrows Capital, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message that centralized exchanges could still be a “gateway to DeFi, but not where users ultimately spend their time.” “The centralized exchanges will end up acting like a white label,” Zhu said. – Muyao ShenRead More:Binance, Huobi, OKEx Have FOMO for DeFi Bitcoin’s dip remained well supported ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, due at 18:00 UTC. The cryptocurrency found buyers below $10,700 during the Asian trading hours, but so far has failed to cross Tuesday’s high of $10,940. The cryptocurrency may rise above the $11,000 mark if the Fed announces more stimulus measures, having cut rates to zero, launched asset purchase programs and signaled tolerance for high inflation earlier this year. Analysts, however, expect the Fed to maintain the status quo and reiterate willingness to do more if required. According toBK Asset Management’s Kathy Lien, the focus will be on the Fed’s inflation and growth forecasts.

Today's Key News: ["International financial authorities and 20 of the world’s largest economies are establishing official standards for regulating and issuing sovereign digital currencies. The Group of Twenty (G20) – an organization of finance ministers and central bank governors representing the European Union and 19 countries across every continent – said in a report Tuesday it is working with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) to formalize the use of central bank digital currencies (CBDC) in banking systems. According to the report, by the end of 2022 the G20 members, the IMF, the World Bank and the BIS will have completed regulatory stablecoin frameworks and research and selection of CBDC designs, technologies and experiments. Related: How Investors Are Trading the Election Stablecoins are digital currencies that are often linked to physical currencies such ad the U.S. dollar. The IMF and the World Bank will have the technical capabilities to facilitate CBDC transactions involving the countries by the end of 2025, the report said. The countries will “examine the scope for new multilateral platforms, global stablecoin arrangements and central bank digital currencies to address the challenges that cross-border payments face without compromising on minimum supervisory and regulatory standards to control risks to monetary and financial stability,” said the G20 Financial Stability Board (FSB), a body formed after the 2008 financial crisis. Multinational alliances The G20 roadmap on stablecoins follows a joint report released by seven central banks last week through the BIS in sketching out a transnational front around nationalized digital currencies. Last week’s report, authored by the United States Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of England (BOE), the Swiss National Bank, Sweden’s Sveriges Riksbank and the Bank of Japan (BOJ), outlined properties the central banks would require from CBDCs in their countries.

CBDC systems should also connect to legacy financial technologies, settle high volumes of transactions instantaneously around the clock, be impervious to cyberattacks and outages, and comply with regulations and monitoring that apply to money already in circulation and that retain central bank power, the report said. CBDCs could improve cross-border payments, counter Facebook libra-like corporate digital currencies and transfer emergency fund payments to consumers during the coronavirus pandemic, the report said. But CBDCs would not be anonymous and self-running, the report said, diverging from the virtual currencies whose distributed ledger technology they would borrow. Bitcoin transactions run on a blockchain network that masks and silos personal data from central actors, while central banks would maintain access and visibility into CBDC payments and identities. The ECB and the BOJ also stated this month they were looking into issuing CBDCs. An ECB report said a decision to issue a digital euro would be announced next April. BOJ officials have said digital yen experiments are starting in the spring and called for a concerted effort to match China’s digital yuan, the most expansive central bank digital currency being trialed yet.

Top shelf Bitcoin buy MicroStrategy, a business intelligence company, told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday it “may increase” its BTC holdings beyond the $250 million haul purchased in August. The morning after: it did. Microstrategy has acquired an additional $175 million worth of BTC in a single purchase. These blockbuster buys transformed much of MicroStrategy’s cash reserves into bitcoin , placing the Nasdaq-traded firm among Wall Street’s most notable bitcoin bulls. Future allocations would continue down the treasury allocation path. On Sept. 11, the board formally recognized bitcoin as MicroStrategy’s “primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis.” Binance abets? Binance has been accused of “aiding and abetting” the theft of $60 million in cryptocurrency in 2018. Crypto exchange Zaif, now called Fisco, has said hackers transferred 1,451 bitcoin (~$9.4 million at the time) to an address belonging to Binance and used the exchange’s minimal know-your-customer and trading procedures to launder the money. The exchange is now seeking repayment for the allegedly laundered funds and other damages. Interestingly, Fisco is bringing the case in a California district court in part because “critical components” of Binance’s business, such as its AWS servers, are located in the U.S. state.

An updated Chinese business registration record shows co-founder Jihan Wu is once again legal representative and executive director of the bitcoin (BTC) miner maker giant, replacing rival co-founder Micree Zhan. CoinDesk’s Wolfie Zhou has reported Zhan was ousted from the company last October but regained control earlier this year. He remains a general manager of the firm, according to the business record. “Since 2020, the management’s feud has damaged Bitmain’s market shares and its brand image. We have lost customers and employees were forced to take sides,” Bitmain said in a post. While it seems things are settling down, the two co-founders are still engaged in a legal battle in the Cayman Island courts. Goodbye market “Increasingly strict” regulations are to blame of Paxful’s decision to pull out of the Venezeulan crypto market, according to a video tweeted Monday. The P2P exchange has suspended account creation and has said existing users will have 30 days to withdraw their funds. Paxful was Venezuela’s second-largest P2P outlet, CoinDesk’ Danny Nelson reports, adding the nation’s crypto traders heavily favor P2P crypto exchanges like market leader LocalBitcoins over government-approved alternatives. Rampant inflation, unbanked population and high mobile phone usage have long appealed to the company, CEO Ray Youssef said, but ultimately local regulations and U.S. sanctions prevailed. Story continues Testy about tether The New York Attorney General’s office is losing patience with Bitfinex and Tether in a long-simmering legal battle. NYAG Senior Enforcement Counsel John Castiglione filed a letter Monday calling for the crypto firms to comply with a 17-month-old document production order detailing financial information within the next two months. The watchdog is looking for communications about Tether’s loans, loans to third parties and a list of U.S. or New York customers who had funds on Crypto Capital, a bank allegedly at the center of the investigation into the loss of $1 billion in customer funds. Defendants responded saying the injunction was overly broad, saying asking for information about all tethers is like “asking GM for all documents about cars.” Quick bites Nigeria’s SEC Says All Crypto Assets Are Securities by Default (Paddy Baker/CoinDesk) Brock Pierce Served Court Papers for Fraud Lawsuit at His Own Presidential Campaign Rally (Sebastian Sinclair/CoinDesk) Thai Central Bank’s New Blockchain-Enabled Bond Infrastructure Passes Test With $1.6B Bond Sale (Jaspreet Kalra/CoinDesk) Top Banks Lose $635 Billion in Market Cap During 2020 (Shaurya Malwa/Decrypt) Measuring Bitcoin’s Decentralization (Coin Metrics) At stake File away? Filecoin, the much-anticipated distributed file sharing protocol, is nearing its mainnet launch. Related: Blockchain Bites: Big Bitcoin Bets, SushiSwap Drops, bZx Attacked After years of development, funded by a $257 million initial coin offering in 2017, the project that looks to unseat the dominant cloud services business – Amazon, Microsoft and Google – and content delivery networks like Cloudflare is targeting mid-September for launch. CoinDesk’s Brady Dale reports Filecoin is entering the fray as data hosting costs only continue to drop, potentially endangering the protocol’s business model. But Juan Benet, Filecoin’s creator, has a longer-term vision for the development of the internet. Specifically, the project is wagering there will be increasing demand for a new type of data storage: redundant, immutable and radically accessible. “Unlike centralized cloud storage services, which back up data in ways clients can’t change or verify, Filecoin allows clients to easily express their own preferences for reliability and cost,” a new document released ahead of the network launch, “Engineering Filecoin’s Economy,” explains. Dale breaks down the economic mechanics that might make Filecoin a real competitor. This includes paying rewards for miners that secure the network and host the distributed data, ensuring that everything on the network has an upfront cost and treating all data as unique bits (known as content addressing). “Mining on Filecoin is largely about providing storage space using traditional storage systems. This is commodity hardware. Almost anyone with an internet connection can participate,” Dale writes. While Filecoin has been beset by delays in the past, a growing enthusiasm in China and the success of its testnet may point to a successful launch. Market intel Cautiously bullish Bitcoin (BTC) has crossed into bullish territory, but prices remain vulnerable to a potential sell-off in stocks, CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole reports. The leading cryptocurrency jumped above $10,700 on Monday, confirming an upside break of 10-day-long price consolidation. While the breakout has exposed resistances at $11,000–$11,200, Matthew Dibb, co-founder and COO of Stack Funds, said it’s too early to call an end of the price pullback from August highs above $12,400. “Previous sell-offs have been exacerbated by risk-off momentum in stocks, particularly the tech-heavy Nasdaq index,” Dibb told CoinDesk. “We remain cautiously bullish this week.” DeFi index Data company DeFi Pulse and investment-minded Set Protocol have created a permissionless index of top performing DeFi tokens, called the DeFiPulse Index. The weighted index, similar to the S&P 500, offers exposure to the booming DeFi field through one token, called DPI, which will track LEND, YFI, COMP, SNX, MKR, REN, KNC, LRC, BAL and REP. That order is arranged from the largest portion of the index (LEND at 18.3%) to the smallest (REP at 1.63%). The token is available on Uniswap, Set’s TokenSets, Zapper, Argent, Dharma and others. Tech pod Bitcoin smart contracts A new Bitcoin smart contract-enabling protocol developed by the Lightning Network Protocol and Bitcoin Protocol (LNP/BP) Standards Association is now in beta. Called RGB, the network could be used to issue tokenize securities and nonfungible tokens (NFT), and to offer a more private means of stablecoin issuance and transfer on the most popular blockchain. One of its architects, Giacomo Zucco, said it could also help outfit Bitcoin with the tokenizing capabilities that have made Ethereum the go-to blockchain for issuing tokenized assets like securities, collectibles, crypto dollars and more. Op-ed Oracles and enterprise Paul Brody, a Principal and Global Blockchain Leader at EY, thinks oracles can become a real part of the traditional business practices, but enterprises need third-party – read: auditors – access first. “Oracles are of immense importance to the future of blockchain commerce ecosystems. We cannot develop large-scale commerce without trusted inputs. We will need, however, to accommodate multiple approaches to certifying information, including ones that lean on off-chain judgement and verification, not just clever algorithms,” he writes.

Gamers farm the metaversal ERC-20 token, Trilium, using NFT land and tools. NFT cards confer gameplay advantages in mining and fighting, and power is expressed by participants staking the ERC-20 Trilium token to planets, each of which is a DAC with dedicated elected leadership.\nThe Alien Worlds inaugural Dutch NFT auction concluded on Oct. 10, 2020, and allowed gamers to secure Launch Packs at a range of prices. Launch Packs sold out well in advance of the conclusion of the auction, which was scheduled to run for 24 hours.\nBuyers opined on purchasing strategies in the active Alien Worlds Telegram channel during the lively auction and are keenly awaiting the four additional Alien Worlds NFT pack sales that will occur this autumn. Buyers paid the opening Dutch auction prices to secure “first mints,” which are popular among NFT collectors due to their ultra-rarity. As prices moved down through the price range, auction participants were determined to secure Alien Worlds NFT cards with better stats, which make mining and fighting more lucrative within the metaverse and which can later be “shined” for even greater gameplay efficiency.\nThe upcoming NFT auction schedule will be:\n• Oct. 23: Rare Pack Sale – 4,000 packs with greater probabilities of receiving Rare-type cards and some special cards reserved for this sale.\n• Nov. 6: Legendary Pack Sale – 3,000 packs with greater probabilities of receiving Legendary-type cards.\n• Nov. 20: eosDAC Pack Sale – Sale for eosDAC tokens with bonus probabilities.\n• Dec. 4: Special Land Pack Sale – The only chance to obtain Land NFTs.\nThe auctions take place on theAlien Worlds Sales websiteand offer parallel supply on Ethereum and WAX. NFT holders from Ethereum communities like Decentraland, Gods Unchained, Sandbox, RARI and Axie, as well as the growing WAX-based NFT communities, participate in tandem. Alien Worlds NFTs are available in the upcoming auction series, but the fungible Trilium token can only be obtained in-game through play. Alien Worlds co-founder and blockchain lead Michael Yeates has innovated the first cross-chain Ethereum-WAX methodology, which allows the fungible Trilium token to be recorded and transacted simultaneously across both blockchains.\n“The success of Alien Worlds’ first auction tells me our community understands how NFTs complement DeFi so synergistically,” said Alien Worlds co-founder Rob Allen. “People love NFTs because they are digital items you can use in gameplay and collect. People love DeFi because it’s an emerging application of blockchain through which we find sources of potential earnings and arrange those directly with peers. Within Alien Worlds there’s a home for both, because our project relies on both NFTs and the decentralised autonomous community or DAC structure, which allows users to decide how earnings are apportioned.”\nSince Ethereum is the home of DeFi and WAX is “the King of NFTs,” Alien Worlds sits at the crossroads of these advances in blockchain by being the first and only cross-denominated project. To strengthen this conjunction, Alien Worlds is reaching out to highly invested Ethereum NFT enthusiasts. The project has dropped Promo Packs of NFTs onto the top 6,400 NFT holders in Decentraland, RARI, Gods Unchained, Sandbox and Axie. Users can check if theymade the cutand claim their Promo Packs via alienworlds.io. Alien Worlds is also seekingETH Ambassadorsto help spread the word.\n“We’re excited to see how the community evolves this project, particularly in terms of ‘planets,’” said co-founder Sarojini McKenna. “Users choose where to stake their Trilium, and a planet with more Trilium staked to it will receive more rewards, which that planet can decide how to use – including paying its backers. The fact that each planet is its own DAC makes this truly decentralised, which we know from experience leads to an abundance of energy and creativity; wonderful things you never could have foreseen start happening.”\nAlien Worlds is set in a future in which some of Earth’s inhabitants have discovered a way to escape the raging pandemics on Earth through a wormhole revealed to them by an advanced alien race, which sent messages through Bitcoin mining algorithms. To build a fairer economy, everything in the Alien Worlds metaverse was tokenised.\nNow, the Alien Worlds “Star Route” or roadmap, published on the project’s website, includes the launch of the beta Unity user interface, the opening of the “shining” functionality in which NFTs can be combined to create rarer items, and the commencement of battling using NFT weapons and minions in the Thunder Dome. Further developments in the metaversal narrative arc, sometimes precipitated by guidance from an Ancient Alien AI, will be ongoing.\nAbout Alien Worlds(alienworlds.io): Alien Worlds is a smart-contract decentralised metaverse combining DeFi farming with NFT card-based strategy play. Alien Worlds has partnered with a game engineering studio to create the metaversal UI, which will call blockchain commands seamlessly so anyone can explore, earn, battle and stake in Alien Worlds.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.60% on Thursday. Following a 0.02% decline on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,509.0. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $11,277 before making a move. The morning pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $11,311. Finding support going into the afternoon, however, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $11,632. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,566 before falling back to sub-$11,500 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through to $11,500 levels to end the day in the green. Resistance at $11,500 continued to peg Bitcoin back, however. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Binance Coin (+1.69%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.04%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Polkadot led the way down, falling by 3.00%. Chainlink (-1.20%), and Ripple’s XRP (-1.23%) also struggled. Cardano’s ADA (-0.36%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.29%), Ethereum (-0.28%), and Litecoin (-0.46%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market slid to a Monday low $344.29bn before rising to a Monday high $365.23bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $353.67bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.47% before rising to a Thursday high 60.21%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.19%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.06% to $11,502.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $11,489.0 before rising to a high $11,512.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. Cardano’s ADA (-0.64%), Chainlink (-0.61%), Ethereum (-0.10%), Litecoin (-0.26%), Polkadot (-0.15%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.09%) joined Bitcoin in the red. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was up by 0.56% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.19%) and Crypto.com Coin (+0.14%) also found early support. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,473 to bring the first major resistance level at $11,668 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $11,600 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $11,632.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $11,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $11,828. Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,473 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,313 into play.

(TSXV:HIVE)(OTCQX:HVBTF)(FSE:HBF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") announces its results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated). The Company\'s Management will host a webcast on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 10:00 am Eastern Time to discuss the Company\'s financial results. Click here to register for the webcast. "The first quarter marked an important period of transition for HIVE as we completed the assumption of direct control of our data centre operations from our former strategic partner and diversified our operations through the acquisition of our data centre facility in Canada to complement our Ethereum mining data centres in Europe, all of which are powered by green energy, which produce coins such as Ethereum and Bitcoin continuously in the cloud" said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE. "Our gross mining margins from Ethereum mining increased during the quarter due to the combination of an increase in our mining output of Ethereum and our lower cost to mine Ethereum, which has been driven by a significant reduction in energy costs in Sweden and lower operating cost structure in Iceland achieved through our assumption of direct control of these operations. "As the largest public miner of Ethereum, this improvement in operational efficiency proved beneficial as Ethereum prices have risen through the year, and the explosion of DeFi applications usage on the Ethereum network drove a significant increase in the fees paid to miners over the summer and resulted in a record amount of Ethereum mined for HIVE during the most recent quarter ending September 30. "We have been utilizing the resulting positive cash flows from our Ethereum mining to support our Bitcoin mining operations as it continues to scale up with next generation mining equipment post the halving of Bitcoin rewards in May. Story continues "We have also undertaken a program to upgrade and expand our GPU equipment to maintain our Ethereum mining industry footprint. We are hopeful to complete this project by the end of 2020 though the negative impact on the global supply chain related to the COVID-19 pandemic does present challenges including increased shipping costs, obtaining equipment from China on a timely basis, and preventing the movement of technical teams across our locations in Europe. We will keep shareholders updated on our progress in our next quarterly update, anticipated near the end of November."

Justin Suns controversial project is now more than 302% up from its yearly low of $0.0086 in March, with it currently commanding a valuation of $0.0337. Earlier this week TRX, which has a market cap of $2.4 billion , surged to a high of $0.0497 in spite of a wider market sell-off that saw Bitcoin fall to as low as $9,910. While there has been some confusion as to why TRX rose while the rest of the market sold-off, the reason is connected to the recent rise in popularity and optimism around decentralised finance (DeFi). TRXUSD chart by TradingView With the vast majority of DeFi activity and yield farming is taking place on Ethereum, Tron founder Justin Sun has launched JustSwap, a token exchange protocol on Trons blockchain. In spite of its critics, Tron does boast fairly quick transactions with low fees, especially compared to the mounting Ethereum gas costs of late. This may lead to a potential exodus from those currently capitalising on the DeFi wave on the Ethereum chain, with more reliability being offer on the Tron chain.

The New York-based firm was founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who after claiming Mark Zuckerberg took their idea for a social-networking website to start Facebook Inc., moved on to become entrepreneurs in the digital-asset industry. Gemini will now let U.K. consumers buy products with Bitcoin using regular debit cards as a funding source. Investors in cryptocurrency will similarly be able to fund digital wallets via bank payments such as CHAPS, without incurring foreign exchange fees. “London is one of the birthplaces of modern finance, and has a rich tradition of regulation, but also fosters an environment of innovation,” Tyler Winklevoss said in an interview, adding that regulation and trust are central to the operation of an exchange like Gemini for consumers. Bitcoin has been highly volatile since its 2009 debut, with few institutional investors seeing it as a viable long-term bet. Gemini will be secure, and offer protection against fraud and money laundering, the company said in a statement Thursday. In Europe, Gemini will have to compete against a slew of players, some of them regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as well. In August, the U.K. regulator also approved Archax, an exchange that is due to launch in the fourth quarter. The agency said that all crypto exchanges operating in the country have to register by Jan. 10, 2021. But for now, Gemini is in a select club of registered firms, and it’s also already operational. Gemini is also in the licensing process in Singapore, Winklevoss said. On its home turf, Gemini faces off against its much-bigger rival, Coinbase Inc. It’s also a small exchange internationally, where crypto exchanges located in more loosely regulated jurisdictions rule. Globally, Gemini is the world’s 67th-largest crypto spot exchange, according to rankings site CoinMarketCap.com, which is owned by world’s largest crypto spot exchange, Binance. Gemini is also a New York trust company that’s regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.44% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 1.62% fall from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,375.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $11,290.0 before striking a mid-morning high $11,388.0. Leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $11,275.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,176, Bitcoin hit a mid-afternoon intraday high $11,418.0 before easing back. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,511, Bitcoin fell back to end the day at sub-$11,400 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move back through to $11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.52%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.19%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.91%), and Litcoin (-1.49%) saw red on the day.. Binance Coin (+0.53%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.61%), Chainlink (+0.31%), Ethereum (+0.80%), Polkadot (+1.16%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.17%) joined Bitcoin in the green. In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $365.23bn before falling to a Friday low $343.10. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $350.42bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 59.47% before rising to a Friday high 60.45%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 60.19%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.14% to $11,391.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning high $11,364.9 before rising to a high $11,410.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 0.35% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Binance Coin was up by 1.40% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $11,356 to bring the first major resistance level at $11,437 back into play.

The U.S. multinational food, snack and beverage corporation, PepsiCo is set to reportthird-quarter 2020 results on Thursday, October 1, before market open. “We continue to like Pepsi longer-term with a pronounced mix shift to the more attractive snacks business over the last few years with strong underlying fundamentals (even ex-COVID) now at more than two-thirds of corporate profit, with both robust, sustained snacks category growth, as well as PEP’s strong competitive positioning and share gains within snacks. We also see PepsiCo’s (PEP) growth outlook and underlying EPS quality as higher with greater reinvestment under a new CEO,” Morgan Stanley’s Dara Mohsenian said. “Last, we believe PepsiCo’s valuation remains compelling, with PepsiCo trading one standard deviation below its 5-year NTM relative P/E average vs mega-cap peers and only at a 3% EV/EBITDA premium to food peers, despite much higher LT revenue growth potential (4% at PEP LT vs 2% at food peers), as well as higher margins/ROIC (see PEP Valuation Looks Compelling section below for more detail).” Morgan Stanley forecast PEP organic sales growth to be driven by its snacks business, and a topline recovery in emerging markets, as well as a sequential improvement in on-premise beverages. In North America, they forecast a solid +6.5% organic sales growth at Frito-Lay North America (FLNA); +7.2% growth at Quaker Foods North America (QFNA); -1.0% decline at Pepsi Beverages North America (PBNA). For the international business, the investment bank forecast +8.6% y-o-y organic sales growth in APAC on China recovering, +2.5% in Europe with on-premise improving and favourable summer weather, +1.5% in Latin America, and -2.3% in AMESA (Africa, Middle East, South Asia) on a slower recovery, particularly in India. PepsiCo stock closed 3.30% higher at $137.97 on Monday. The stock is up about 1% so far this year. Several other equity analysts have also updated their stock outlook. Jefferies raised their target price to $139 from $137; JP Morgan lowered their stock price forecast to $149 from $154; UBS raised the price target to $140 from $136; Deutsche bank upped their price objective to $140 from $139 and Guggenheim raised their target price to $151 from $148. Eleven analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $144.64 with a high forecast of $155.00 and a low forecast of $130.00. The average price target represents a 4.83% increase from the last price of $137.97. From those 11 equity analysts, six rated ‘Buy’, five rated ‘Hold’ and none rated ‘Sell’, according to Tipranks. “PepsiCo is our top beverage pick. We forecast Pepsi will post superior topline growth relative to peers driven by exposure to the higher growth/higher margin snacks category (2/3 of PEP’s profit). Snacks is a higher growth category given: (1) shift to snacking vs. sit-down meals; (2) less pressure from health/wellness vs. beverages, and (3) PEP’s leading share in snacks vs. fragmented competition, driving share gains, and higher margins/ROIC,” Morgan Stanley’s Mohsenian said. “We also see more structural Pepsi market share benefits post COVID-19, as PEP uses its DSD distribution advantage, to gain shelf space and share in snacks, and in beverages, where PEP is advantaged vs competition with a much lower mix in away-from-home.” Upside risks: Higher FLNA snacks topline growth, improving North America beverages business on higher investment spend and on-premise recovery, better GM expansion on favourable commodities/better pricing, and higher cost savings from restructuring. Downside risks: Lower return from PEP’s reinvestment, macro volatility, commodity and FX volatility, greater COVID impacts, worse market share trends in beverages, soda taxes.

But the U.S.-regulated crypto derivatives exchange is holding out hope its dormant options platform will eventually gain traction. Trading volumes for physically settledbitcoinfutures on Bakkt rose to $134 million on Tuesday from a previous high of $132 million on July 28, according to crypto derivatives data firm Skew. Bakkt went live last September. “The market recognizes the value that a regulated physically delivered bitcoin future offers for hedging and risk management and speculation,” White told CoinDesk in a phone interview on Aug. 26. Related:Bitcoin Options Open Interest Nears All Time High – But Rise in Puts Could Presage Drop This has been part of thesignificant growthin bitcoin’s derivative market as a whole, after the cryptocurrency’s price went above $11,000. Despite the recent surge on Bakkt’s bitcoin futures trading volumes, it still lags behind the Chicago-based CME Group, a bigger, U.S.-regulated exchange. Data from Skew shows the aggregated daily volumes of bitcoin futures on Bakkt and the CME were at $279 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, on Monday. Compared with many offshore, unregulated exchanges that have taken the majority of the bitcoin futures market share, White said Bakkt has the advantage of being based in the U.S. and owned by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which also owns the New York Stock Exchange. “We are a fully regulated intermediated traditional futures market. Contrast that with the offshore unregulated markets that you see trading on a lot of crypto exchanges,” he said. Related:Bitcoin Ends July at Highest Monthly Close Since 2017 Peak The crypto derivatives provider launched its bitcoin futures contractsin late 2019with the goal of serving its institutional clients, who range from market makers and proprietary trading firms to family offices and traditional hedge funds, according to White. At the same time, unlike the CME, Bakkt’s bitcoin futures contracts are mostly settled with physically delivered bitcoin, meaning buyers receive tokens at expiration instead of cash. Some U.S. institutions are only allowed to trade on regulated exchanges. Thus, if they want to get into crypto, they have two choices: Bakkt or the CME, because exchanges such as Coinbase are licensed but unregulated in the U.S. For those who want to hold their bitcoin in their hands, Bakkt is basically the only game in town. White said the physical delivery of bitcoin puts Bakkt at advantage because the exchange is seeing more clients interested in receiving crypto assets.

However, other industry experts have said physical delivery of bitcoin could be the one factor that has been hindering Bakkt’s growth in the crypto derivatives market. According to Norwegian cryptocurrency analysis firmArcane Research, the number of bitcoin contracts held to expiry on Bakkt dropped sharply in July, to 58 BTC from June’s 221 BTC – the lowest amount held to expiry so far in 2020. Compared with a cash settlement, physical delivery of bitcoin could impose a tighter margin, Vishal Shah, an options trader and founder of derivative exchange Alpha5, told CoinDesk via Telegram. Despite the success with its bitcoin futures products, Bakkt seems to be still struggling with its options contracts. No volume or open interest have been loggedsince June 15in Bakkt’s bitcoin options. Both futures and options contracts on CME aresettled with cash. Meanwhile, CME’s bitcoin options contracts contributed about 10% to the total global open interest on Tuesday, second behind Deribit, who accounted for 80% of the market. Open interest is the number of outstanding contracts. White shrugs off concerns about Bakkt’s options products, saying the crypto options market as a whole has a long way to go before it matures. Read more:Bitcoin Options Open Interest Nears All Time High – But Rise in Puts Could Presage Drop “When people ask, ‘Aren’t you worried about your options volumes?’ Absolutely not,” White said. “These are the early innings. Most of the options volume is happening offshore, unregulated, not cleared and, frankly, we’re not even sure how much of that volume is legitimate.” White is banking on growing trading volumes and open interest Bakkt’s futures products to eventually draw customers to its options suite, and is therefore not planning on delisting options contracts anytime soon. “As the institutions move into the futures, their hedging and risk management needs will evolve towards options, and we are going to be there ready to serve them,” White said. • Bakkt Futures Volume Up on Institutional Trading; Its President Slams Offshore Options • Bakkt Futures Volume Up on Institutional Trading; Its President Slams Offshore Options... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The exchange, which made withdrawals unavailable last week after Chinese police launched a probe linked to the firm, began letting users within OKEx trade with each other on Wednesday. Read more: Chinese Police Probe Halts Withdrawals at Crypto Giant OKEx Hours later, blockchain developer Zulu Republic -- along with liquidity provider Alameda Research and crypto trading community Whalepool -- created a way for institutional investors to sell their OKEx deposits for a token representing Bitcoin or Tether on the Ethereum blockchain. A user gets one token for every OKEx Bitcoin deposited into the venture’s OKEx account. The token currently trades for about 93 cents on the dollar on the Uniswap exchange. “My guess is if they were expecting withdrawals to resume tomorrow, they’d tell us,” said Sam Bankman-Fried, Alameda’s chief executive officer, adding that he believes no funds have been moved or stolen. “There’s not been a lot of guidance on what to expect. I think sentiment is weeks to months when withdrawals will open up.” Within the first hour of the token’s availability, five institutional investors reached out to the venture, which charges a 1% fee on the swap plus a fee for a regulatory check, Zulu CEO Daniele Sestagalli said in an interview. Users wishing to swap back to their OKEx accounts -- if the exchange unfreezes withdrawals, for instance -- have to pay a 1% fee as well. The minimum order amount is 100 Bitcoin, he said. Bitcoin is currently trading around $13,000. Traders need to visit Isaidno.ooo to join the waiting list for withdrawal approval. OKEx halted withdrawals last week after Chinese police launched an investigation linked to it. OKG Technology Holdings Ltd. -- whose controlling shareholder, Xu Mingxing, is also the founder of OKEx -- said in a Hong Kong stock exchange filing Oct. 18 it has been informed Xu is under investigation by public security authorities in China. OKG said it hasn’t reached Xu to confirm he is being investigated and the group wasn’t subject to any government probe in China to the best of the board’s knowledge. Story continues In an earlier statement, OKEx said an unidentified staffer responsible for users’ private keys -- accounts where coins are stored -- has been “out of touch” while cooperating with a police investigation, the Malta-based exchange said in an Oct. 16 release. The exchange emphasized that everyone’s deposits are safe. OKEx didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. In a tweet, Bankman-Fried cautioned about the venture: “Use at your own risk.” 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) -- Institutional users of cryptocurrency exchange giant OKEx can now get their holdings out, though it will cost them to do so.\nThe exchange, which made withdrawals unavailable last week after Chinese police launched a probe linked to the firm, began letting users within OKEx trade with each other on Wednesday.\nRead more: Chinese Police Probe Halts Withdrawals at Crypto Giant OKEx\nHours later, blockchain developer Zulu Republic -- along with liquidity provider Alameda Research and crypto trading community Whalepool -- created a way for institutional investors to sell their OKEx deposits for a token representing Bitcoin or Tether on the Ethereum blockchain.

Traders Remain Focused On Brexit And U.S. Stimulus Talks GBP/USD is trying to continue its upside move while the U.S. dollar is gaining ground against a broad basket of currencies. Yesterday, GBP/USD rallied on hopes for a Brexit deal. Traders believe that EU and UK will intensify their negotiations and reach a compromise deal in the upcoming weeks. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index remained volatile as traders evaluated the chances of a new U.S. stimulus deal. The U.S. Dollar Index tested the support level at 92.50 but rebounded closer to the nearest resistance at 92.80 after U.S. President Donald Trump accused Democrats of not willing to compromise. In addition to U.S. stimulus talks and Brexit chatter, traders will focus on U.S. employment reports. U.S. Initial Jobless Claims are expected to decline from 898,000 to 860,000 while Continuing Jobless Claims are projected to decrease from 10.02 million to 9.5 million.

Following on from a 0.49% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,458.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $10,415.0 before sliding to an early afternoon intraday low $10,287.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,255, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $10,492.0. Coming up against the first major resistance level at $10,496 and resistance at $10,500, Bitcoin eased back to limit the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%) and Tron’s TRX (-2.39%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Binance Coin surged by 12.08% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.53%), Ethereum (+3.71%), Litecoin (+3.80%), Monero’s XMR (+2.83%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.90%) also found strong support. Cardano’s ADA (+0.73%), EOS (+0.60%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.26%), and Tezos (+0.94%) trailed the pack, however. In the current week, the crypto total market fell to a Tuesday low $297.87bn before rising to a Saturday high $327.48bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $324.97bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 61.28% before falling to a Saturday low 59.17%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 59.28%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% to $10,435.3. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,461.1 to an early morning low $10,435.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.39%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.94%), and Ripple’s XPR (+0.20%) found support early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 1.28% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,538. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $10,492.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $10,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,617. Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,333 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,200. The second major support level at $10,207 should limit any downside.

The move by the online payments company marked a significant milestone on the path to mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. The reception by bitcoin investors was mostly positive as prices rose 5% on the news.\nThe efficiency, speed and resilience of cryptocurrencies give people financial inclusion and access advantages, said PayPal President and CEO Dan Schulman, who described the eventual shift from physical to digital currencies as ‘inevitable.’\nOur global reach, digital payments expertise, two-sided network, and rigorous security and compliance controls provide us with the opportunity, and the responsibility, to help facilitate the understanding, redemption and interoperability of these new instruments of exchange,” Schulman said in a statement.\nCointelegraph.com wrote, “While many in the industry were pleased with Bitcoin’s surge past $13,200 following an announcement that PayPal intends to integrate crypto into its network, some fail to see any benefit beyond the immediate price movement.”\nAccording to an October 21 blog post from Satoshi Labs, the team behind the crypto hardware wallet Trezor, PayPal’s push to start selling Bitcoin (BTC), is ‘probably not because they want to spur healthy adoption.” Their arguments are similar to ones made by many crypto holders against storing digital assets on exchanges, i.e. “not your keys, not your coins.”\n“If millions of newcomers are on boarded to Bitcoin by PayPal, there could be a very serious information gap that jeopardizes their experience and undermines key principles of cryptocurrency,” stated the blog post by SatoshiLabs. “No one should consider money held entirely by a third party as owned by them. Time after time, exchanges have lost user funds, often leaving them with no recourse.”\n“Long-term, if PayPal proceeds without consulting the community and letting their users control their own keys, it offers no value to the space. The greatest risk is that the clout they carry in traditional electronic payments will be interpreted as expertise in crypto. This would threaten the expert advice so carefully crafted by our community, which could be drowned out by the misinformed masses that PayPal brings to the space.”\nThe news may be good for PayPal shareholders because jumping into the cryptocurrency business will open up another income stream, which should lead to greater profits. However, buyers of Bitcoin who place their holdings on the PayPal platform have to be aware of the risks of exchange-held coins.

Once you have the private key memorized, the rationale goes, you can access your bitcoin wallet from anywhere in the world, as long as you have internet access. Its especially useful if you need to get out of Dodge quickly; your bitcoin will always be with you. To create a brainwallet, you can generate a new address using Bitcoin wallet software, memorize the seed phrase associated with the address using a mnemonic trick, and then delete the wallet from your computer or smartphone. You can also generate the private key yourself using bitcoin software specifically designed for creating brainwallets. This will create a wallet using whatever passphrase you choose to represent your private key. However, this method of generating a brainwallet is highly insecure for a number of reasons (poor entropy, for example) and is generally discouraged. Since brainwallets rely on the user remembering a passphrase, there is always the risk that youll forget it or, in the case of a user-generated phrase, that it will be easily guessed. To demonstrate how vulnerable user-generated passphrase wallets can be, depending on the quality of the password, an anonymous BitMex researcher generated eight wallets using quotes from popular literature, lyrics from a Bob Dylan song and an excerpt from Bitcoins white paper. Impressively, the Call me Ishmael wallet, derived from the notable opening line in Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick, was harpooned by a hacker literally the second it was created. For the others, all were swept within the day. The quote from the Bitcoin white paper took the longest to crack at roughly 13 hours. BitMex Research believes a single entity swept the wallets. The speed and nature of the redemption of the funds clearly indicates that people have servers up online 24/7 scanning the blockchain and their respective memory pools for weak brainwallets to hack. These servers are likely to have pre-generated many hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin addresses, using text from thousands of published works, music, books, academic papers, magazines, blogs, tweets and other media and then stored these in a database, the post reads. When generating a brainwallet, BitMex Research suggests composing a medley of words and phrases to create a more complex passphrase rather than relying on something simple and poetic.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.75%), Chainlink (+1.63%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.82%), Litecoin (+1.87%), and Polkadot (+0.12%) found support, while Binance Coin ended the day flat. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.19%) and Cardano’s ADA (-2.31%) led the way down. Ethereum (-1.23%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.92%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total fell to a Tuesday low $347.77bn before surging to a Thursday high $397.58bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $387.31bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 57.52% before rising to a Thursday high 62.46%.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $13,032.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $13,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $13,194. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $12,900 pivot would bring the first major support level at $12,768 into play.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, took a strong stance against employee-driven corporate activism over the weekend, explaining that, going forward, his company would be “mission focused.” That means Coinbase will devote all of its attention to achieving the goal of creating “infrastructure for the crypto economy,” but will eschew any kind of activism, and won’t take a stand on policy or societal issues that go beyond that mission. Related: How the Crypto Industry Seesaws Between Assets and Infrastructure It’s not that those issues aren’t important and don’t need solving, Armstrong says, but that Coinbase’s best shot at making the world a better place is by achieving its central mission. It’s clear that Armstrong’s post comes in response to some kind of employee movement at Coinbase rather than pressure from the outside. He explains how he recently realized some employees believed Coinbase’s world-changing mission means the firm should actively push forward other ways to improve the world. Now that he’s taken this stance, though, he has very politely told those people to be activists on their own time or find another job. What’s also clear is Armstrong believes he’s far from alone among his C-Suite peers – not just at Coinbase or in the crypto industry, but among executive teams across corporate America. By sharing his position publicly, Armstrong obviously hopes it resonates and catches on, perhaps lighting the spark of some kind of backlash to the cultural moment that has, among other things, seen Scientific American take a position on the presidential race for the first time in its 175-year history. Related: First Mover: Binance CEO Sees Future in DeFi While Bitcoin Volatility Turns Minuscule And Armstrong is probably right to think so. Although barely any other CEOs responded to his post, several influencers chimed in their support. To be fair, the odds were skewed in his favor – big chunks of the crypto community, generally known to favor libertarianism and pseudonymity, would certainly feel affinity to Armstrong’s “leave me out of it” position. Story continues Of course, there was no shortage of people calling out Armstrong for taking a position that doesn’t just go against the grain of a trend sweeping companies throughout America, but is in their view fundamentally cowardly and on the wrong side of history. Ultimately, it will push away talent, critics say, since it will set the wrong tone with exactly the kind of employees they should want. Many workers feel empowered, and potentially more productive when they’re allowed to speak out on causes. Sapping productivity? Time will tell who is right with respect to Coinbase, but Armstrong’s stance is such a line in the sand in today’s culture that bigger questions are at stake. Coinbase isn’t just a darling of the crypto industry poised for an IPO – it’s a tech company based in Silicon Valley, ground zero for exactly the kind of employee activism Armstrong is eschewing. While many corporations make donations to righteous causes or respond to the cultural zeitgeist with message-based marketing, tech companies have seen employees take strong positions in recent years to pressure their employers to do what they believe is the right thing. Thousands of Google employees staged a walkout in 2018 over how the company handled sexual harassment allegations. Amazon workers continually speak out against the company making its facial recognition technology available to law enforcement . And Facebook’s employees are so emboldened that they’re directly critical of CEO Mark Zuckerberg in public forums. Armstrong even name-checks Facebook and Google in his Medium post, pointing to those companies’ internal strife as an indicator of sapped productivity. The company I really think he’s thinking about, however, is Spotify, whose employees are openly revolting over podcaster Joe Rogan’s arrival on the platform, demanding new safeguards be put in place over potentially objectionable content. This is where the comparison between Coinbase and the strife within the tech industry starts to break down. It’s one thing for a crypto exchange to take an apolitical stance, and another for a communications platform – where speech, information and the handling of those things are the company’s core product – to do so. But that’s exactly the point. Armstrong’s position isn’t a message to Silicon Valley heavyweights to turn back the clock on employee “wokeness” – it’s an open letter to every other corporate leader, urging them to connect the dots between the political positions they might be taking and the central mission of their companies. And if the result is a picture they don’t like, rethink. I’m not naive. In today’s world, where every day seems to bring a new tragedy or flashpoint that raises the cultural temperature even more, that’s a hard thing to do.

Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $12,882.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $12,768, Bitcoin rose to a mid-afternoon intraday high $13,178.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $13,062 before falling back to $13,050 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $13,100 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $13,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Binance Coin (-0.10%) and Cardano’s ADA (-0.17%), saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, with Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.03%), Chainlink (+4.39%), and Litecoin (+6.94%) leading the way. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.18%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.69%) Ethereum (+0.74%), Polkadot (+0.61%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.54%) saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total fell to a Tuesday low $347.73bn before surging to a Thursday high $397.6bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $392.73bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 57.52% before rising to a Thursday high 62.46%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.81%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.21% to $13,099.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $13,128.0 to a low $13,099.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day, with Bitcoin Cash SV up by 1.64% to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin and Litecoin were down by 2.13% and by 2.11% respectively to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,062 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,243 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $13,178.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $13,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $13,358. Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,062 pivot would bring the first major support level at $12,947 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$12,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,766.

I own and use both BTC and BCH - and I sort of think the two can coexist. BUT you\'ll pretty frequently read over there that transactions with fees as low as 1sat/byte are completely workable ON THE MAIN CHAIN. The argument is that BCH DOESNT actually have lower fees, because cheap BTC transactions will confirm just fine. (eventually). \n\nI wanted to play around with exactly how to define "eventually," so I built a small transaction in electrum. I\'ll link it below. You\'ll note lock time was 654079. As i write this post, we are currently on block 654159. I think it will be interesting to see what the height is when the transaction is actually confirmed. Any guesses?\n\nEdit: Confirmed in block 654222! It took apprx 140 blocks for a transaction to confirm with extremely low fees (in a fairly crowded environment).

On Tuesday, the net inflow of bitcoin to exchanges (measured by the total change in exchange balances) was 36,800 BTC, according to data source Chainalysis . Thats the biggest single-day rise since the markets crash on March 12 sent prices to a 2020 low. Since Sept. 20, the net daily inflow of bitcoins to exchanges have been increasing and trade intensity has been declining, Philip Gradwell, an economist at Chainalysis, told CoinDesk. This, he said, indicates a weakening market. The uptick in net inflows represents an increase in selling pressure, since investors typically move coins from their wallets to exchanges when they see a possible need to liquidate their holdings. Further, bitcoins trade intensity, which measures the number of times an inflowing coin is traded, fell to a one-year low of 1.75 on Tuesday. Thats a sign there were not enough buyers to absorb the spiking inflow of coins. Trade intensity has declined from 4.93 to 1.75 in the last three days. There is a lot of inventory building on exchanges and fewer buyers willing to trade. These conditions tend to lead to price declines, Gradwell said. Long-term bull bias intact Bitcoin fell by over 4.5% on Monday as investors bought the safe-haven U.S. dollar, but sold equities, gold and other fiat currencies on renewed coronavirus concerns. The drop set the stage for a continuation of the pullback from August highs above $12,400, according to the technical charts. Immediate supports are seen at $10,000 and $9,868 (Sept. 8 low). However, while bitcoin may suffer deeper declines in the short-term, the overall bias remains bullish. We are still above $10,000, only the third time bitcoin has maintained this price level for multiple weeks, and long-term investors are buying bitcoin in increasing amounts, Gradwell noted. The options market is also showing bullish bias on the longer time frames. The three- and six-month put-call skews remain below zero, a sign that bullish call options are drawing higher demand or prices compared to bearish put options. At press time, bitcoin is trading near $10,477, up slightly on the day, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index .

Bitcoin is trading near $13,420 at time of writing, a 2.77% gain on the day. That marks a fresh 16-month high for the cryptocurrency, which is now up 25% for the month and 87% on a year-to-date basis. Bitcoin\x92s on-chain data, too, is showing no signs of investor trepidation. The number of daily deposits to cryptocurrency exchanges fell to a nine-month low of 26,889 on Monday. Further, the total number of bitcoins held on exchanges slipped to a two-year low of 2,478,799 BTC, according to data source Glassnode . So the bullish mood continues for bitcoin, even though the global stock markets suffered losses and Wall Street\x92s benchmark equity index, the S&P 500, fell nearly by 2% on coronavirus concerns Monday. The decline in exchange deposits suggests investors are unperturbed by the risk aversion in traditional markets and see low odds of bitcoin suffering an equity market-induced sell-off. Investors typically move coins from their wallets to exchanges to liquidate holdings when expecting a price slide, and take direct custody of their assets when the cryptocurrency is expected to rally. In effect, we appear to be seeing a weakening of the positive correlation between bitcoin and the S&P 500 seen since the March crash. \x93The decline in transfers to exchanges despite risk-off in equity markets is a bullish sign,\x94 Matthew Dibb, co-founder, and COO of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk over WhatsApp. The cryptocurrency is likely to stay strong in the coming weeks, he added. Bitcoin\x92s options market is also retaining bullish bias. The one-, three- and six-month put-call skews, which measure the cost of puts relative to calls, continue to hover below zero, a sign of calls \x96 bullish bets \x96 drawing higher prices (or demand) than puts \x96 bearish bets. The cryptocurrency suffered a minor drop to $12,700 during Monday\x92s U.S. trading hours only to chart a quick recovery to levels above $13,000. \x93The next resistance to take out is $13,800 (June 2019 high). \x93If bitcoin breaks below $12,700, we will take action and decrease our exposure further,\x94 Patrick Heusser, a senior cryptocurrency trader at Zurich-based Crypto Broker AG told CoinDesk in a Twitter chat.

The Telegram AMA will take place Tuesday, October 27 at 11 am PST / 2 pm EST / 6 pm GMT on the Bitcoin.com Exchange Telegram Channel . Participants will learn how Aspire makes it easy to create your own digital assets, and have all their questions answered about buying and selling Aspire (ASP) and Aspire Gas (GASP) on Bitcoin.com. The Aspire platform, which consists of the Aspire (ASP) digital asset creation platform and Aspire Gas (GASP) blockchain, is the first digital asset creation platform to be free of double spending, resisting both mining exploits and 51 percent attacks that are common to proof-of-work blockchains. ASP and GASP were both recently listed on Bitcoin.com Exchange. Both tokens were created under the leadership of core developer Jim Blasko, a proof-of-work innovator since 2012. Blasko and Co-Founder Michael Terpin will both field questions during Tuesday’s AMA. Aspire was designed and built by remodeling legacy Counterparty software and replacing Bitcoin's blockchain with their own Proof Of Work blockchain known as “gAsp.” This was done to allow for greater security and to be able to run on the lowest possible transaction fees. Aspire is the most cost-effective platform in the world to build digital assets on, as users are able to perform over 300k transactions of their assets with just 1 GASP coin. Digital assets have been a key part of the growth of the blockchain, including the rapid growth of digital collectibles.

The blockchain industry subsector of “privacy coins” – cryptocurrencies with embedded technology that shields identifying information from public view – is becoming one of this year’s hottest buys. One of the biggest privacy coins,zcash(ZEC), which offers “shielded transaction” capabilities, has nearly tripled so far in 2020, whilemonero(XMR), which uses a technique called “ring signatures” to obscure sender and receiver data, has doubled. Litecoin founder Charlie Lee told CoinDesk in an interview the project is now looking to adopt key privacy-enhancing features, which he sees as increasingly attractive to cryptocurrency users. The enhancements are already being tested, and an upgrade to the main network is scheduled for next year.If the effort succeeds, it might inject ajolt of enthusiasminto a project that has suffered from a lack of momentum in digital-asset markets. Litecoin is up 21% this year after a 38% gain in 2019, which pales in comparison to bitcoin’s 59% year-to-date gain and a 94% increase last year.

Inside day candle occurs when the cryptocurrency trades well within the preceding day’s high and low and indicates consolidation. As such, Tuesday’s high of $11,567 is now the level to beat for the bulls. A break above that level would signal a continuation of the recent rally and open the doors for resistances above $12,000. Alternatively, acceptance under Tuesday’s low of $11,314 would imply a bearish reversal and could yield deeper declines. That said, the on-chain metrics favor a continued rally. The seven-day average of bitcoin’s hashrate or measure of the processing power dedicated to the blockchain rose to a record high of 144.29 exa hashes per second (quintillion hashes per second) on Tuesday, surpassing the previous peak of 143.19 EH/s observed on Sept. 18, according to data source Glassnode. It indicates high miner confidence in the cryptocurrency’s price prospects. Miners largely operate on cash and liquidate their BTC holdings to fund operations. As such, they are likely to dedicate more resources to the computer-intensive mining process if they are bullish on price. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Bitcoin Steady Above $11,400 as Hashrate Reaches New High Bitcoin (BTC):Giant money manager Fidelity pitches bitcoin as“alternative investment.” Ether (ETH):Ethereum’s network upgrade (Eth 2.0) isexpected soonand could address scaling issues associated with its legacy platform.
