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

Initially, this wallet will support the project's native tokens MINE and PLEX, with 20 more currencies added by spring 2021, including BTC, ETH, and USDT. Then there is a P2P exchange that will allow buying and selling of crypto quickly among users at the best rates. It will be tied to your account, saving time and simplifying the exchange process. This exchange will accept various fiat currencies to facilitate payments. Finally, there is the MinePlex debit card that will help users use digital currencies anywhere without restrictions and overpaying fees. All service benefits will be accessible using the project's native tokens. And the card will be compatible with payment systems such as Visa, MasterCard, and UnionPay. Also, users of the card will be able to access various sectors, including finance, transport, and education. For example, when traveling, a user will be able to convert crypto/fiat into local currency and pay for tickets and hotels.

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

Today's Key News: ['The major Asia-Pacific stock indexes were lower across the board on Thursday with China bucking the trend to move modestly higher. The weakness in the East wasn’t nearly as bad as the routs in the United States and Europe the previous sessions, as Asia’s brighter economic outlook offset investor worries about fresh COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe. In the cash market on Thursday, Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index settled at 23331.94, down 86.57 or -0.37%.

Bank of Japan Trims Growth, Price Forecasts; Keeps Policy Steady The Bank of Japan on Thursday trimmed its economic and price forecasts for the current fiscal year ending in March 2021, heightening expectations it will maintain its massive stimulus for a time being to cushion the blow from COVID-19. As widely expected, the central bank kept monetary policy steady, including a -0.1% target for short-term interest rates and a pledge to guide long-term rates around 0%. It also made no changes to a package of measures to ease corporate funding strains caused by the coronavirus pandemic. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is expected to hold a news conference to explain the policy decision and the new forecasts, which were produced as part of the BOJ’s quarterly report on the economic and price outlook. Samsung Predicts Fourth-Quarter Decline in Profits Due to Weak Demand and Growing Competition Shares in South Korea were among the biggest losers regionally, as the KOSPI Index fell as much as 1.69% before settling 0.79% lower. Shares of industry heavyweight Samsung Electronics declined around 2% after the firm on Thursday predicted a fourth-quarter decline in profits.

Story continues Samsung announced a 59% year-on-year jump in operating profit to 12.35 trillion Korean won (about $10.89 billion) for the July-September quarter, which was in line with earlier guidance. “Looking ahead, Samsung Electronics expects profit to decline in the fourth quarter amid weakening memory chip demand from server customers and intensifying competition in mobile phones and consumer electronics,” the company said in a statement. Sony Shares Pop on Strong Outlook Shares of Sony surged in Tokyo on Thursday, a day after the Japanese electronics giant raised its annual profit forecast.

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 companyGoldMining 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, whileTrulieve Cannabis Corporation(OTCQX:TCNNF) andGreen 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—such as gold and cryptocurrencies. Along with GLDC, theGrayscale Bitcoin Trust(OTCQX:GBTC) andGrayscale 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. The list of the top 10 most active securities for the OTCQX Market is below. Cannabis companies are denoted with an asterisk.

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 1.39% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 2.63% slide from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $13,450.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to a mid-morning high $13,314.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $13,766, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day intraday low $12,972.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $12,842, Bitcoin rose to a late afternoon intraday high $13,629.0. Coming up short of the first major resistance level at $13,766, however, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$13,500 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 another mixed day on Thursday. Crypto.com Coin rose by 0.67% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Polkadot tumbled by 8.20% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-1.60%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.09%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.45%), Chainlink (-1.69%), Litecoin (-1.56%), and Ripple’s XRP (1.29%) also struggled. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.55%) and Ethereum (-0.25%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In current the week, the crypto total rose to a Tuesday high $410.31bn before falling to a Wednesday low $377.69bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $392.30bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 61.54% before rising to a Friday morning high 63.64%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.55%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.28% to $13,414.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $13,453.6 before falling to a low $13,325.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.51%) and Polkadot (+0.69%) bucked the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, \xa0Cardano’s ADA was down by 0.78% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,351 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,729 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $13,629.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $14,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $14,008. Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,351 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,702 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$12,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,694.

Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 61.54% before rising to a Friday morning high 63.64%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.55%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.28% to $13,414.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $13,453.6 before falling to a low $13,325.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.51%) and Polkadot (+0.69%) bucked the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, \xa0Cardano’s ADA was down by 0.78% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,351 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,729 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $13,629.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $14,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $14,008. Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,351 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,702 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$12,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,694.

I understand the significance of blockchain technology and how a decentralized financial and record keeping system could change the world.\nMy question is what makes you so sure that in a year or so the price of bitcoin wont be lower than what it is now? Lets not act like that we would be this interested without the financial incentive. \nWhy wouldnt the government ban it? Why wouldnt it just fizzle out or another coin take over? \nThese are question I myself have but also are questions i keep running into. What do you guys say to that?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jklkhd/what_makes_you_so_sure_about_bitcoin_price_going/', 'jklkhd', [['u/TheGreatMuffin', 24, '2020-10-30 00:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jklkhd/what_makes_you_so_sure_about_bitcoin_price_going/gajqr26/', '> My question is what makes you so sure that in a year or so the price of bitcoin wont be lower than what it is now? \n\nThere is no guarantees to that and anyone promising any kind of price levels in the future is most likely a charlatan. \n\n> Why wouldnt the government ban it? \n\nA few reasons: \n\n* it\'s very very hard to enforce (sure you can ban on/off-ramps, but it\'s almost impossible to ban popular open source software; also it\'s non-physical and tough to confiscate or to surveil, if held/transacted "properly") \n\n* too many businesses, HNWI (High Net Worth Individuals), politicians, lobbyists etc are already involved \n\n* banning bitcoin directly is very much against govermental interests, because almost every government of the world is in direct or indirect competition with other countries\' governments, and "exploiting" bitcoin for their own interests is just more enticing than to outright ban it. It\'s like ban a tech industry: other countries will take advantage of it and you ultimately lose out. \n\nNow, that obviously doesn\'t mean that governments won\'t try to control it in other ways (I\'m very sure they\'ll try), but straight bans I don\'t see, at least not by 1st world governments. \n\n> Why wouldnt it just fizzle out or another coin take over? \n\nIt\'s been 12 years of competition with other coins... This argument is getting old, very literally. Sure, there are no guarantees regarding the future, but it just doesn\'t seem likely at all. Cryptography/cryptocurrencies involve trade offs, and bitcoin makes some hard trade offs in usability, speed, costliness etc, but it\'s not like those are simple things to solve without making other trade offs. \n\nA kinda silly but perhaps effective analogy: a tank is slow, clunky tech with limited usecases. But it has very special advantages. If you need it quick and cheap and easy, a tank is probably not the best solution; you probably would prefer a bicycle or a regular car. But if you need it secure, unstoppable and safe, you have to live with the trade offs a tank has to make by its design. It won\'t be quick or easy like a car, but if you want to go into a battle or an adversarial scenario, you surely don\'t want to be driving a car... Or a bicycle. \n\nedit: here\'s an excellent list of resources with posts/articles on the fundamental trade offs bitcoin makes and why those trade offs are important for the security/decentralization of the network: https://gist.github.com/chris-belcher/a8155df5051bb3e3aa96', 'jklkhd']]], ['u/jtoomim', 'BCHN MR !746 merged: Faster transaction relay', 109, '2020-10-30 02:58', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/jknz9k/bchn_mr_746_merged_faster_transaction_relay/', "[MR 746](https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/merge_requests/746\n) is a relatively simple code change, but it has important implications for BCH's UX and scalability.\n\ntl;dr: BCHN will now by default relay transactions 10x faster than before. This will make BCHN's transaction relay much faster than ABC, though not as fast as BU. On the flip side, BCHN will require more bandwidth than ABC at low transaction throughput rates, but less than BU. BCHN has also added the `-txbroadcastinterval` command-line option to allow node operators to configure this behavior more precisely.\n\n# Background on `inv` message batching\n\nThe inv messages for transactions are responsible for the vast majority of a node's total network traffic, since inv messages are sent per peer regardless of whether that peer needs the transaction or not. If a node is sending one inv per tx per peer, and the node has 50 peers, that results in about `120 bytes/tx/peer * 50 peers = 6000 bytes` of network traffic per transaction, or roughly 6x as much traffic as is required for receiving and sending the transaction itself (assuming a typical 500 byte transaction). In this scenario, about 2/3 of the traffic is actually protocol overhead -- mostly TCP/IP overhead, but also bitcoin p2p protocol overhead. This overhead can be mitigated with batching. Using IPv4, inv messages take up about `80 + 40n` bytes per message, where n is the number of transaction hashes being sent. This means that batching behavior can reduce the average traffic per peer per tx from around 120 bytes (for a batch size of 1) to around 44 bytes (for a batch size of 10). The way to achieve large batch sizes is to have a wait time before sending each tx inv to allow extra txs to be ready in each transmission. A batch size of 10 can be achieved with 20 tx/sec and an average wait time of 2 sec, for example.\n\nIf the wait time is mismatched with the transaction throughput rate, it can result in an increase in transaction propagation time without any substantial improvement in bandwidth efficiency. For example, the transaction throughput rate is currently about 0.25 tx/sec. If the wait time is 1 sec, then the typical`inv` message will contain only 1 tx hash. If the wait time is increased to 2 sec, then the typical `inv` message will still contain only 1 tx hash. That extra second of delay would make a difference in batch size if the transaction throughput rate were 1 tx/sec, but it makes almost no difference at 0.25 tx/sec.\n\nOn the other hand, delays like this will significantly slow down transaction propagation, and will adversely affect UX. A delay of 2 seconds per connection with 20 connections means that a node will broadcast an inv to one peer every 100 ms on average. This delay, coupled with the natural network ping times of ~100 ms, and the 1.5 round-trip time (RTT) communication needed to send a tx, means that the number of nodes who have a transaction will double roughly every (100 ms + 150 ms) = 250 ms if all network nodes used a 2 second delay with 20 peers. If the network is comprised of 8192 nodes, it would take around 3.25 seconds for a transaction to propagate through the full netowrk. This worsens BCH's UX by making transactions feel slower in 0-conf mode, and gives a much larger time window for double-spends than is desirable. Shorter delays before broadcasting `inv` messages mean a better experience for BCH users, and slightly better 0-conf security.\n\n# Changes in !746\n\nWith !746, BCHN makes two major changes:\n\n1. The default behavior for BCHN will be to wait an average of 500 ms between `inv` broadcasts, rather than 5000 ms. Furthermore, this value can be configured at the command-line with the `-txbroadcastinterval=<ms>` command-line option. Lower values (shorter delays) can accelerate transaction propagation; higher values (longer delays) can reduce upstream traffic for your node and downstream traffic for your node's peers. As before, this value halved for outgoing connections: with the default value of `-txbroadcastinterval=500`, BCHN will make on average one batched broadcast every 500 ms on incoming connections, and one every 250 ms on outgoing connections.\n\n2. BCHN also adds a new option to configure the maximum throughput for `inv` announcement messages: `-txbroadcastrate=<tx/sec/MB>`. The default value for this option is the same as before: for each 1 MB of the block size limit, BCHN will allow 7 tx/sec on incoming connections (14 tx/sec/MB on outgoing connections). The default setting of 7 allows for up to `7 tx/sec/MB * 32 MB = 224 tx/sec` of announcement throughput on incoming connections, or 448 tx/sec on outgoing connections. This allows a maximum-sized block (e.g. 32 MB) to be filled with 238-byte average sized transactions in 600 seconds via an incoming connection, or 300 seconds via an outgoing connection. Larger transaction sizes will result in less time being needed to reliably fill blocks. Most users will not need to touch this setting, as the default value is reasonable for most use cases. This limit provides protection against spam attacks while still allowing normal network operation to reliably fill blocks. However, modifying this setting can be useful in some circumstances, such as during stress tests, or for severely bandwidth-constrained applications. Users who are doing stress testing may wish to set this value very high in order to delimit tx broadcasting (e.g. `-txbroadcastrate=9999999`). Users with non-Starlink-based satellite internet (e.g. slow upstream, fast downstream) may wish to experiment with setting this to zero (i.e. `-txbroadcastrate=0`) to avoid relaying transactions, as an alternative to `-blocksonly` mode.\n\n# Comparison to other nodes\n\nBitcoin ABC and [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp#L126) use an average delay of 5 seconds between broadcasts, which makes batching start at around 0.2 tx/sec. [Bitcoin Unlimited](https://gitlab.com/bitcoinunlimited/BCHUnlimited/-/blob/dev/src/net.cpp#L2579) uses a delay of about 10 ms, so BU's batching begins at around 100 tx/sec. BCHN will now default to using a delay of about 500 ms, or b...

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

By falling the way, we have, it does suggest that we are still stuck in this range, and quite frankly with the US dollar strengthening during the day, this makes quite a bit of sense. Looking at this chart, it is obvious that the $2000 level will, some issues, and I think it is only a matter of time before we will possibly attempt to get there again. However, the short term it does not look like we are ready to do so, as we are simply consolidating. Gold Price Predictions Video 16.09.20 Looking at the 50 day EMA underneath at the $1920 level, we should see plenty of support. At this point, we also have the $1900 level underneath backing up this area as support, so that is also something to pay attention to. If we break down below the $1900 level, then the $1800 level comes in the play, which is structurally supportive and could also features the 200 day EMA by the time we get down there.

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

Belarus residents arefighting back against the alleged illegitimate re-electionof leader Alexander Lukashenko, otherwise known as the “last dictator of Europe,” since the election occurred Aug. 9. Lukashenko’s contested victory has led to widespread protests and violence against protestors by the military, and caused Lukashenko’s opponent to flee the country. Amid the protests, which have been ongoing, various parts of the internet were alsoshut down across the countryincluding social networks and message sites such as Telegram and Facebook, as well as some news outlets. Lukashenko has denied shutting down the internet, blaming foreign interference, butfurther reportingsuggests the government is, in fact, responsible. Related:Paxful, Citing Regulations and Its Own 'Risk Tolerance,' Exits Venezuela's P2P Bitcoin Market In anew reportshared exclusively with CoinDesk, the decentralized internet censorship testing network Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), found 86 websites were blocked in Belarus in August, including 19 communications platforms such as Telegram and encrypted email services. “These include news media, political opposition, pro-democracy, and election related websites, as well as communication and circumvention tool sites,” the report found. OONI has been working as a global community to document internet censorship and interference since 2012. Using afree and open source software it developed called OONI Probe, the organization has built a “decentralized, citizen-led, Internet censorship observatory.” Itpublishes measurementsin order to develop a public archive on network interference and increase transparency about censorship. The data for the Belarus report, for example, was gathered from OONI probe users on the ground in the country. Withrising authoritarianism around the world, information crackdowns due to COVID-19 and states constantly developing more advanced methods of suppressing information and engaging in censorship, the work OONI and the network using its software are doing has a renewed sense of urgency. Related:Belarus Nonprofit Helps Protestors With Bitcoin Grants Read more:Social Media Bans ‘Highlight the Profound Censorship on Web 2.0’ “A lot of our principles and ideas come from being cypherpunks basically,” said Arturo Filastò, a Rome-based hacker who founded and leads OONI. “The concept is that we can build tools and technology that empower people to take actions and bring about change. A core concept of that is decentralization and the fact that everybody should be able to use our tool.” Filastò was a hacker from his teen years. In a recent call with CoinDesk over Signal, he made it clear he espoused the ideas of, and aligned himself with, the cypherpunk mentality. The original idea for OONI, which Filastò now describes as more amanifesto than an academic paper, was written while he was still at the Tor Project, which maintains the Tor browser. Filastò said OONI definitely doesn’t want to be a central authority declaring how bad internet censorship is around the world. Rather, they want to empower people to document internet abuse wherever they see it. “We want to build tools that empower anybody who wants to go out and say, ‘Okay, in my country there’s something wrong with respect to how the internet is being filtered and how it’s being interfered with,’” said Filastò. The OONI probes focus not on anecdotal evidence but rather on hard, quantitative data. This approach prevents governments from claiming ignorance when they do, in fact, block something. As a result, OONI has become the world’s largest open dataset on internet censorship with millions of measurements collected from more than 200 countries since 2012. There are tens of thousands of volunteers using it on the ground in authoritarian states such as Iran, Venezuela and Malaysia, according to Filastò.

The same observations should be possible to reproduce independently, in line with standard full disclosure practice.” The OONI probe runs a number of preprogrammed tests on the network. A user can decide which ones to run and how extensive they can be. Sometimes a single test can take hours, but tests can also be broken down among a network of users in a country to be run faster. Alternatively multiple devices could be set up to run them. The OONI probe can test a wide array of factors. Read more:‘Radical Indifference’: How Surveillance Capitalism Conquered Our Lives In Belarus,blocking by internet service providers appeared to be implemented during the TLS handshake, which OONI attributes to either Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), an advanced method of tracking and managing traffic on a network, or that all traffic was going through a “proxy that blocks undesired connections,” according to the report. The Server Name Indication (SNI) is seemingly being used to decide whether to block or let connections go through, according to OONI. The SNI is the method through which you’re able to make sure you end up on the proper domain by allowing you to specify it during the TLS handshake, or when a client (your device) and a server acknowledge and verify each other before establishing a connection. It’s not just things like political or media sites that are blocked. Connections to things like virtual privacy networks (VPN) or encrypted email are also often disrupted, as these are the very tools that can be used to circumvent government censorship. Numerous proxies for the encrypted messaging app Telegram served as an organization and communication platform amid the ongoing protests in Belarus, particularly as other parts of the web were shut down. A number of privacy-preserving email providers were also blocked. OONI has a global testing website list, and country-specific lists in collaboration withCitizen Lab, a research group from the University of Toronto that studies the intersection of information and communication technologies, human rights, and global security, as well as other projects to develop metric measurements. The tests are run on the users network and the control to check it is run on an OONI server in a location known not to be facing censorship. Users can also choose what websites, or categories of websites they don’t want to test if they so choose. Filastò said OONI is dedicated to informed consent, and lets users really shape tests how they see fit. Read more:Decentralization and What Section 230 Really Means for Freedom of Speech At a high level, Filastò said when it comes to websites, users test DNS resolution and compare for consistency. A DNS (Domain Name Server) resolution is the system by which an IP address is translated to domain names. “This is a huge rabbit hole; it’s not so trivial as just matching IP addresses because of geolocation, timing, load balancing and a lot of other things,” said Filastò. “I won’t go into details, but the basic tactic is a DNS resolution and then check for consistency.” This helps determine whether they’re consistently reachable or unreachable because tests also want to eliminate the cases in which there are false positives due to the website being down for reasons other than interference or manipulation. Khairil Yusof is the coordinator for the Sinar Project in Malaysia, which started out as a volunteer effort with a few tech activists who were at the Bersih 2.0 pro-democracy rally in 2011. The group’s focus was on open government and civic tech, but under an increasingly authoritarian government they also needed to pay attention to the possibility of online censorship. They started seeing instances of censorship prior to Malaysia’s 2013 general election, and since then it’s only continued. As part of their efforts, Yusof said, they tried to build a monitoring site backed by data and tests. “We ran into problems, and that’s when we discovered that OONI was also working on the same idea and at a global scale,” said Yusof. “It was an open project [that] had done much more research into this, and we were like, ‘Great, let’s work with them and then shift our efforts to working with OONI and the OONI community.’” Read more:Privacy Startup Nym Will Pay You in Bitcoin to Run Its Mixnet Many censorship reports in the media are anecdotal, said Yusof. These anecdotal reports are then used to generate various “Internet Freedom” indices. The problem with anecdotal evidence is that it’s easy to brush off or dismiss by saying, for example, a person’s internet was slow or the site was probably down. The purpose of the Sinar Project is to verify and support anecdotal claims with hard evidence that cannot be refuted. The project focuses both on long-term data collection to track trends as well as on real-time data collection during key events like general elections. “Our testing efforts, for example, allowed us to prove that election results sites were being blocked, and which was later used by journalists to track down the official [government] request to ISPsleading to the resignationof a few people at the Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC),” said Yusof.

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

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

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

During the First World War, French equity markets accounted for 16% of the world’s equity market capitalization. Today, France is among the biggest e-commerce markets in Europe, and the market has been growing at double-digit rates, characterized by a healthy pace of economic growth in recent years. The Coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the expansion of the digital payment landscape as many have turned to online shopping and are incentivized to transact digitally due to fears of infection through personal contact. Eric Anziani Crypto.com The share of crypto consumers using crypto assets as a mode of payment in 2020 has increased considerably, with more than 4%-6% of French citizens owning crypto-assets according to published reports. The reasons for this are two-fold, first, quantitative easing by central banks has caused retail inflation worldwide, and second, as people find themselves locked in their homes, they have warmed up to new types of financial instruments and assets as a means of increasing not only their knowledge but also income. The French economy is ready for the penetration of crypto-assets and digital tokens in its everyday life as it embarks on this new era of digital wave equipped with the right mix of regulations and compliance flexibilities offered to corporations and startups by the French government. Insider Monkey: What strategy does Crypto.com have in terms of expanding its operations in the EU (European Union)? Eric Anziani: Crypto.com has seen substantial growth in Europe and we are focused on expanding our reach as we seek to accelerate the world's transition to cryptocurrency. Crypto.com’s card offerings have become the most widely available crypto card in the world with offers in Asia, the EU, the UK, and the United States. Crypto.com’s Visa card was among the first on the market since it was unveiled in Singapore in 2018 and has become the most commonly available crypto card in the world. Many consumers hold the card and enjoy a range of benefits including up to 5% cashback depending on your card tier; comprehensive range of fiat currency top-up options, including SEPA or the Single Euro Payments Area; full rebates available for Netflix, Spotify and Amazon Prime. Story continues We also continue to expand the ecosystem powered by the CRO token and our suite of products Crypto Earn, where you can earn up to 8% on deposited cryptocurrencies; Crypto Credit, where you can get an instant loan based on your crypto assets; and Crypto.com Exchange which provides deep liquidity, low fees and best execution prices. And we do all of this with a relentless focus on our consumers so that we can keep delivering quality products and services that improve their lives. Staying close to our community is important to us and we are very grateful for the support from our very engaged community. In addition to social media channels, our outreach includes Crypto.com University and Research where we regularly publish articles to help decrypt the world of crypto and unpack the latest developments in the space. For example, we worked with The Economist on a piece about the general public’s behaviors and opinions around digital payments and most recently, Boston Consulting Group on a piece about decentralised finance. Insider Monkey: To which country is Crypto.com expanding its operations first? How is the company going to on-board customers in France? Eric Anziani: Crypto.com has recently launched the French version of the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange, accompanied by the local telegram community in the French language for additional customer support. The French version of the app is the first in a series of more local language roll-outs. Why are we doing this? Humans are social beings and language plays an essential role in our communication. Crypto.com is a global company but we believe that going local will create an enhanced user experience for our customers. It is not just about personalizing language but also about understanding the cultural identity of our customers so that we can cater better to their needs. Insider Monkey: How Big is the French Market in terms of trading volume, consumer internet, and market capitalization? Eric Anziani: When talking about digital payments, card payment in France is enormous, making up for 53.9 percent of transactions. Online card usage is also projected to increase by 15.8 percent in 2021. Thus, we find that Crypto.com’s Visa cards have huge growth potential in France as the customers are already warmed up to digital payments, especially since our cards play a vital role in bridging the gap between crypto and fiat currency. In addition, we also put significant focus on a user-friendly interface where the Crypto.com App acts as a single hub to manage all of the crypto’s financial needs. With the crypto.com interface, when cards are paired with the application, customers can buy, sell, pay with, and earn crypto and get an instant loan based on collateralized funds. On the other hand, the crypto payment market is still in its infancy in France but is maturing at an accelerated pace due to political and economic developments worldwide. We do see that a number of top French labels are ready to receive cryptocurrencies . Amongst these leading brands which might embrace Bitcoin in France are several large label names, such as Sephora, Foot Locker, Decathlon, Cultura, Intersport, Norauto, Maison du Monde, Conforama, and Boulanger. For most of these firms, this is not their first effort to increase the popularity of Bitcoin in France. Therefore, alongside our crypto card operation, we continue to mature the company’s crypto payment solution for online merchants powered by our native blockchain - Crypto.com Pay. Recently we announced that Crypto.com Pay now accepts CRO payments from any ERC-20 wallet. There are an estimated 30 million+ ERC-20 wallets, which represent a massive potential market for merchants seeking to attract crypto users globally. Insider Monkey: What is the current regulatory landscape regarding crypto-assets and trading in France? Eric Anziani: The French government has adopted a soft-touch approach regarding crypto-assets in France. French Parliament passed the Pacte Act (Sales Regulations), which opened a flood of technological innovation in digital assets and blockchain. Effectively, France has helped create a much more flexible legal framework for crowdfunding, public listing and capital investment . With its current context, the Action Plan streamlines processes for service providers of digital assets operating in France. Regulatory authorities have not yet come up with digital currency-specific legislation, and they continue to caution against the risks associated with speculation. However lawmakers appear likely to accept Bitcoin. And with so many retailers prepared to accept payments in Bitcoin, we see an underlying change in the digital payments landscape in France.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The move has invited mixed reactions from veterans of the digital assets space. Not Real Bitcoin:Some experts were left unamused over what they judged to be significant restrictions in place on how the cryptocurrency in a Paypal account can be withdrawn or transferred to other users. Compound Labs General Counsel Jake Chervinskyquestionedif users can't hold their own keys, "is it even Bitcoin?" Blockchain.com CEO Peter Smith said in an emailed statement to Benzinga that Paypal had taken an “inflexible approach.” “While we’re excited to see a new audience gain access, a non-custodial approach limits opportunity to self-custody your [cryptocurrency] or transact freely,” said Smith. Buzz Around Numbers:PayPal says it has 346 millionactive accountsand processed payments to the tune of $222 billion in 3.7 billion transactions in the second quarter. Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya suggested PayPal's move could spur further adoption by banks. CryptoCompare CEO Charles Hayter told CoinDesk that while PayPal’s Bitcoin foray may not be ideal for libertarians “being pragmatic about bitcoin’s trajectory and global adoption penetration rate, this certainly brings more options.” Jason Deane, an analyst at Quantum Economics termed PayPal’s move as “extremely significant” and said it would expand the cryptocurrency’s “reach at a vastly accelerated level, as well as “drive the development of additional services,” Decrypt reported. Validation Among Some:There is a sense of validation among some, seeing the increased mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. “Many early [cryptocurrency] believers, myself included, were de-platformed and censored for buying bitcoin on PayPal, I have a strong sense of vindication seeing them finally come around to the inevitability of cryptocurrency,” Blockchain.com's Smith said. Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp said, “You can ignore Bitcoin for a while, but not forever.” PayPal Treading Caution:Jerry Brito, executive director of Coin Center, told CoinDesk that it is possible that demand for Bitcoin transactions “is not as high” and that perhaps most people want to simply buy and hold the cryptocurrency. Brito admitted that while PayPal did not have to limit transactions to be compliant with regulations, there are gray areas in the Financial Action Task Force’s Travel Rule and in anti-money laundering enforcement. “People are finally developing solutions to comply with [the Travel Rule] but [PayPal is] not there yet,” said Brito. “The easiest thing to do is not engage in transfer and take on that compliance risk,” he added, pointing to the fact that cryptocurrencies would probably be a small part of PayPal’s business. Stephen Palley, a partner at the Anderson Kill law firm, told Coindesk that PayPal is “going to be cautious, and they’re going to roll it out slowly.” Nevertheless, there's no convincing the most ardent believers of the decentralized currency. “Don't let PayPal hold your precious bitcoin,” Lopp told his Twitter followers.

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

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

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

Non-profits have rejected bitcoin donations made from hackers. And a FinCEN investigation raises questions about bitcoin mixers and the Bank Secrecy Act. Here’s all the news people are talking about in crypto today. Corporate DeFi?R3’s open-source variation of its enterprise blockchain, Corda Network, will see the addition ofa native cryptocurrency.The new coin, called XDC, will open the gates to build central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and decentralized finance applications (DeFi) on the network. Programmed by the Cordite Society, a group of former bankers building decentralized tools, the XDC system will have compliance baked in to meet anti-money laundering (AML) standards, as every node represents a legal entity, CoinDesk’s Ian Allison reports. The Cordite Network is welcoming new members to vote on the rate of supply of XDC and other points of governance going forward. Ironic outcomeUniswap’s first voting process demonstrated the need tooverhaul its governance system,Dharma CEO Nadav Hollander has said, following a “disappointing outcome.” The vote was over reducing the token threshold required to make and pass proposals on the protocol. Despite 98% of the votes cast being in favor of a proposed change, the total number needed for a successful vote fell short of the 40 million required by about 400,000. A successful vote would have seen this requirement drop by around a third. Hollander also said the vote “galvanized users to delegate in much higher numbers,” which was a “healthy outcome for Uniswap.” Related:First Mover: PayPal Rushes in and Bitcoin Breaches $12K, While USDC Gains on Tether Dirty moneyRobinhood-esque hackers who stole from corporations to give to charities have seen theirdonations rebuked.Members of the hacking group Darkside attempted to givebitcoindonations to two non-profits, Children International and The Water Project. The group used ransomware to steal from profitable companies with the intention of giving “some of the money” to charity, according to a BBC report citing a darknet blog. To make the donations, the cybercriminals used the service offered by The Giving Block, a U.S.-based project that converts donations into dollars for charities not set up to handle cryptocurrencies. “If the donation is linked to a hacker, we have no intention of keeping it,” Children International said. CBDC platformLINE Corporation, operator of the popular messaging app, is jumping into the CBDC game with aplatform to allow central banks to develop digital currencies.The platform reportedly will help central banks develop customized, blockchain-based CBDCs by offering tools to issue digital tokens, tokenize assets and run decentralized applications (known as dapps). LINE is not alone. Mastercard recently released a platform allowing central banks to test how proposed digital currencies would work in real life. A LINE representative told South Korean newspaper Chosun that “major” Asian nations are already in discussions with the firm, though they could not disclose which ones.

Over the past year, deposits have grown by $15.28 billion, or nearly a 40% increase, according to the bank’s earnings release. Signature reports $54.34 billion in total deposits. “Crypto firms are often a rich source of low-cost deposits for the few banks that openly serve the sector.

The U.S. financial watchdog hailed these civil charges as the “first” action against a bitcoin mixer. It was also said to be the first time the U.S. Department of Justice explicitly called bitcoin mixing a “crime,” casting a shadow on any service that obscures bitcoin’s publicly accessible path, CoinDesk’s Danny Nelson reported. Prosecutors allege Harmon ran the unregistered money services business Helix from 2014 to 2017, conducting 1,225,000 transactions for customers and is “associated with virtual currency wallet addresses that have sent or received over $311 million.” From 2017 on, prosecutors say Harmon provided money transmission services via Coin Ninja. Each of these transactions are said to be in violation of the Banking Secrecy Act. Prosecutors also said Harmon had a responsibility to file suspicious activity reports and systemically flouted U.S. money laundering laws. “If you’re in the crypto space you’re about to become as familiar with the BSA as you think you are with the 33 and 34 acts and the Howey test,”Stephen Palley, a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Anderson Kill, tweeted. “Each one of these violations is a separate violation of the BSA. That is why the penalty is so massive.” “The max penalty is $209,144,554. That’s a gobsmackingly enormous number because BSA non-compliance is heavily penalized and because FinCEN really really wants you to comply and really really wants you to be in pain if you don’t comply,”Drew Hinkes, an attorney with Carlton Fields, tweeted.

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

Be it corporations or central banks – all are mulling over the greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies. Notably, bitcoin is up about 80% this year as cryptocurrencies are drawing considerable attention this year. Bitcoin crossed the mark of $12,000 lately and marked its highest level since July 2019 on Oct 21. On Oct 21,PayPal Holdings IncPYPL announced that it will allow customers to hold bitcoin and other virtual coins in its online wallet and shop using cryptocurrencies at the 26 million merchants on its network. The new service makes PayPal one of the largest U.S. companies to provide consumers access to cryptocurrencies. This is great news for bitcoin and rival cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin jumped about 7% on Oct 21 on the PayPal news. PayPal competitorSquareSQ launched support for bitcoin back in 2018 through its Cash app. Square also bought $50 million in bitcoin this month as part of larger investment in cryptocurrency. However, PayPal is broadening the area by supporting bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. PayPal also plans to extend support to its money-sending subsidiary Venmo and international markets starting in the first half of 2021. For now, the plan is only to support U.S. users. Notably, U.S. account holders will be able to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies in their PayPal wallets over the coming weeks, the company said, as quoted on Reuters. Other companies those accept bitcoins includeMicrosoftMSFT,AT&TT,Dish Network(DISH)Burger King,Domino’s PizzaDPZ,Goldman Sachs(GS),Intuit Inc.(INTU), American online retailer Overstock,Shopify(SHOP),Virgin Galactic(SPCE),Zynga(ZNGA) andEtsy(ETSY) among others. Several central banks are considering the rollout of CBDCs lately. China has been taking serious moves toward no-touch payments. In efforts to match with China, seven major central banks last week set the key principles for issuing CBDCs, per Reuters. China's recent experimental $1.5 million (1.16 million pounds) giveaway of digital yuan to Shenzhen citizens received kudos from currency analysts. Sweden’s Central Bank, Riksbank is also conducting a pilot project with Accenture to prepare e-krona. The European Central Bank (ECB) is mulling over the rollout of a "digital euro" for the 19-nation currency club. The ECB launched a public consultation on a potential digital euro on Oct 12. In its 2020-2024 strategic plan, the Bank of Spain also said that it will focus on design proposals for a central bank digital currency. On Oct 19, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve, said that the Fed is committed to considering a CBDC but made no final call on it. The Fed wants “to get it right than be first,” said Jerome Powell. “One set of experiments is being carried out at the board of governors here in Washington, D.C.,” Powell said. Investors can choose to invest in options like blockchain ETFs. Per a source, “the blockchain in Bitcoin literally acts [as] a ledger; it keeps track of the balances for all users and updates them as money changes hands.” “Invented to host bitcoin, today many other cryptocurrencies are also based on blockchain technology.” So, since investors cannot lay their hands on a digital currency ETF now, they can definitely familiarize with the concept through blockchain ETFs likeReality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETFBLCN,Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETFBLOK andFirst Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETFLEGR. Also, ETFs offering exposure to the blockchain ecosystem via semiconductor companies that make chips for bitcoin mining (or could make for some potential CBDCs) can be played.

I have been in a long running\n\nmargin trade on Poloniex for several months on Stellar Lumens (XLM) also known as STRBTC. I have\n\nbeen adding margin to this trade for some time to keep it afloat, trusting that eventually the price\n\nwill rebound.\n\nOn the evening of 27th October @ 18:04 there was a flash crash that took the Stellar price down to\n\n106 sats from +-600 sats before the price rebounded back to where it was. This move instantly\n\nliquidated my position as the Polo liquidation engine is based on Last Traded Price (no index or fair\n\nmarket price system similar to that of Bitmex for example). You can see in the attached image an\n\nexample of what this looked like on the chart.\n\n[STRBTC Chart](https://imgur.com/a/cnK09Wp)\n\nI contacted Poloniex support to find out what had happened. You can see there response below.\n\nHonestly, sounds like a load of bullshit to me.\n\n[Poloniex Email](https://imgur.com/a/qvuN4yz)\n\nTo which my response was as follows:\n\n“Thanks for your swift response and what you have done so far. I do however feel that this is dishonest on the exchange's part as they have essentially forced me to then close my trade at 624 sats at a massive loss. This is not something I clearly would have ordinarily done as I have been adding margin to the trade to keep it afloat for some time. It means that the exchange has interfered in my trade beyond the ordinary scope of what they would do so. I believe that the correct thing to do would be to restore my original trade in place at your quoted price of 624 sats.”\n\nI have since been in touch with a handful of people that were affected in the same crash and they have received similar responses from the Polo support team and have also since been ignored for any follow up.\n\nNow that this has happened to me, I decided to do more research into it and found that this exact same thing has occurred several times on Poloniex. Links for more info below on these other instances:\n\n(will post in comments)\n\nInterestingly, the STR wallet was down several days prior to the crash and almost immediately went down for maintenance again straight after (trying to prevent people from leaving with currency for some reason perhaps?). It honestly feels like everything they do is underhanded and leaves me questioning whether or not perhaps they instigated this flash crash to fish for liquidations themselves.\n\nMy questions for the forum are as follows:\n\n1. Do you agree that Polo is at fault/admitted fault and that I am justified in wanting them to either reinstate my margin trade or some alternative for recompensation?\n2. Has this happened to you in any way and if so, did Polo reimburse you or are you being affected by the same Stellar Flash Crash?\n3. Do I have any grounds for wanting to claim recompensation for what has happened?\n\nTL;DR: Get your coins off of Poloniex. I feel that they have scammed me out of currency and many others that I have been in contact with; they're liquidity is shocking. You WILL be liquidated by flash crashes.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jpgbh0/if_you_are_in_a_margin_trade_on_poloniex_get_out/', 'jpgbh0', [['u/PM_pregnantgoat', 13, '2020-11-07 01:04', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jpgbh0/if_you_are_in_a_margin_trade_on_poloniex_get_out/gbeihsu/', 'Margin trading is gambling and addicting.

So you’ve effectively been in a months-long counter trend? That’s what it reads like, since you’ve been keeping it afloat with hopium.\n\nHad you been on the right side of the trade, read the market, do some homework on the chart etc and gotten in a short, that wick would’ve brought tears of joy.\n\nIt’s just not smart to counter trade; if you get good at trading you should know what the chart is saying and get out as soon as it’s clear you’ve made a bad move. Instead of doing that, or having a stop, you’re now liquidated.\n\nI know people who used a counter-trend bot that works extremely well if the market is ranging or only trending slightly, so it was going well for a much if this year.\nThen this recent BTC pump started about 3 weeks ago and people got liquidated losing anywhere between 0.3-3BTC.\n\nDoing a counter trend trade and trying to average your entry and all that is just.not.smart. Get out quick or use stops and go back to the drawing board.\n\nThe exchange won’t give you anything, these wicks happen often, and they used to ripple out from BitMex before their volume dropped with the US charges, but every exchange would get a version of it.', 'jpgbh0']]], ['u/msafi', 'Comparing 2020 halving price movement with 2016', 93, '2020-11-07 02:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jpi49h/comparing_2020_halving_price_movement_with_2016/', "I made a webpage with a couple of live interactive charts to compare the 2020 post-halving price with 2016 halving.\n\nIt's interesting that this cycle has so far been tracking the 2016 cycle pretty closely.

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

She was making 230k last year as a senior manager, and should be able to get a position making at least 200k when she returns to the job market (which theoretically should add another 150k or so to our retirement fund)\n\nSo, back to my idea - The 100k would essentially be about 15ish% of our "liquid" cash (we have about 300+k in property equity, plus 25k in btc and maybe 20k in other investments).\n\nWe would of course be paying a 10% penalty, plus the 30% income tax on the 100k 401k withdrawal, so right off the bat that 100k has already dropped in value to 60k....\n\nWhat do you think - is it worth the risk?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jq0ss4/im_thinking_about_doing_the_unthinkable/', 'jq0ss4', [['u/[deleted]', 93, '2020-11-08 00:28', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jq0ss4/im_thinking_about_doing_the_unthinkable/gbij17n/', 'Delete all your financial info.

Speaking for myself, I have chosen to not partake in it at all. My partner works at a union, and they recently found out that their 401k, and the entire union\'s, was invested in the companies running the private detention centers at the border. The reason? It offered a high return. \n\n401ks made sense when you could save and get a decent interest rate. Now, it is no better than letting strangers gamble with your money, "investing" it in god knows where. \n\nOne of the biggest reasons they can\'t let this bubble deflate, and keep pumping all this money into the economy, is because they can\'t let retirement plans fail to grow at a pace higher than inflation. When this debt bubble collapses, I reckon most retirement plans will be wiped out as well. It might not happen in your lifetime, but who knows tbh. \n\nSo yes, I think it is worth the risk, even with the tax penalties. If you get in before this bull market really takes off, you have a good chance to recover the losses, and then some. \n\nBut the real question I have for you is this: Are you ready to see your holdings crash 80% overnight, or hold through a sustained 80+% loss for years?

The last real resistance iota has before it starts to gain some momentum is 30 cents and the bulls are starting to pile up. I was there all the way back in 2016. And yea , in my opinion history is stsrting to repeat itself again.. and for iota it is a pretty bright future, especially tge 2021. But I suspect we could get some momentum starting even vefore of that. This could very well be last moments at this low prices..

Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $14,953 before a partial recovery to $15,300 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $15,000 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 Monday. Polkadot bucked the trend at the start of the week, with a 0.44% gain. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV and Crypto.com Coin slid by 5.03% and by 4.50% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-3.38%), Ethereum (-2.16%), and Litecoin (-2.85%) also struggled. Binance Coin (-1.26%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.87%), Chainlink (-1.69%), and Ripple’s XRP (-1.23%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. For the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $449.53bn before falling to a Monday low $423.81bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $443.58bn.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $15,800 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 $16,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $16,343. Failure to move back through the $15,340 pivot would bring the first major support level at $14,836 into play.

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 Monday. Polkadot bucked the trend at the start of the week, with a 0.44% gain. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV and Crypto.com Coin slid by 5.03% and by 4.50% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-3.38%), Ethereum (-2.16%), and Litecoin (-2.85%) also struggled. Binance Coin (-1.26%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.87%), Chainlink (-1.69%), and Ripple’s XRP (-1.23%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. For the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $449.53bn before falling to a Monday low $423.81bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $443.58bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 65.22% before falling to a low 64.70%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.87%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.26% to $15,294.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $15,350.0 before falling to a low $15,181.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Cardano’s ADA (+0.15%), Chainlink (+1.00%), Crypto.com Coin (+1.29%), Ethereum (+0.46%), and Litecoin (+0.19%) found early support. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 0.38% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $15,340 to bring the first major resistance level at $15,839 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $15,800 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 $16,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $16,343. Failure to move back through the $15,340 pivot would bring the first major support level at $14,836 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$14,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $14,337.

Riot plans to continue aggressively expanding its mining operations, per its earnings report, through four purchase agreements with mining manufacturer Bitmain for a total of 16,600 S19-Pro machines. The firm expects incremental delivery and deployment of its new machines through the end of Q2 2021. Concurrent with an increase in mined bitcoin and the leading cryptocurrency’s 114% year-to-date rally, Riot’s cryptocurrency corporate liquidity grew from $7.2 million in Q2 to $9 million in Q3.

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. Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said Sept. 29 the hackers had already exchanged millions of stolen tokens for $7.5 million in ETH on the decentralized exchanges Kyber Network and Uniswap.

Kik and the SEC are nearing an end to a yearlong court battle over its $100 million initial coin offering (ICO). Here’s everything people are talking about in crypto today. PayPal’s playPayPal will be offeringtrading and transactionofbitcoin,bitcoin cash,etherandlitecoinin the next few weeks to its 346 million customers and 26 million merchants through a partnership with Paxos Trust Company, although for some users, the features are already available. The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) has granted the first “conditional BitLicense” to PayPal, a regulatory arrangement where interested companies can operate in the state’s “virtual currency marketplace” by working with already chartered firms. “DFS will continue to encourage and support financial service providers to operate, grow, remain and expand in New York and work with innovators to enable them to germinate and test their ideas,” the watchdog said. Many in the industry see this as a year-defining event that could rapidly expand crypto’s pool of potential users. Others take umbrage that the payments firm will not initially allow users to transfer crypto outside of the PayPal network. “You own the cryptocurrency you buy on PayPal but will not be provided with a private key,” the company wrote in a help post. Another allocationMode Global Holdings, a London Stock Exchange-listed company, has announced plans to make a“significant purchase”of bitcoin as part of its treasury investment strategy. The fintech group said it will convert up to 10% of its cash reserves into the cryptocurrency as part of a long-term strategy to “protect investors’ assets from currency debasement.” “Faced with the challenges of COVID-19 and with U.K. interest rates at the lowest level in the Bank of England’s 326-year history, our confidence in the long-term value of bitcoin has only increased,” said Jonathan Rowland, Mode’s executive chairman. Related:First Mover: The FOMO Takes Over as PayPal Play Sparks Bitcoin Rally to $13K It’s officialThe Central Bank of the Bahamas hasofficially launched its national digital currency,the sand dollar, an attempt to reduce the friction of bringing financial services to its dispersed, and often underbanked, population. This marks the first official deployment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), which will be rolled out initially to private-sector banks and credit unions. Personal wallets are secured with multi-factor authentication security and will be mobile-based, servicing the 90% of the population with smartphones. The sand dollar is backed 1:1 to the Bahamian dollar (BSD), which, in turn, is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Future bulls?Bitcoin futures traders aresignificantly less bullish as bitcoin traded past $12,000Tuesday compared to when bitcoin reached the same level nearly two months ago. When bitcoin traded near $12,000 throughout August, finally reaching the key level mid-month, funding rates for perpetual futures turned acutely positive across leading derivative exchanges, reflecting the market’s bullishness. As bitcoin revisited $12,000 Tuesday, however, funding rates reacted differently, staying flat or turning negative, indicating a lack of the same bullishness two months ago. Decentralization metricA New York law firm unveiled a new metric to test thedecentralization of particular blockchainprojects. Called the “Ketsal Open Standards” rubric, the toolkit, developed by the Ketsal law firm, outlines 33 data points – including node count, GitHub statistics and measurements of the inter-node communication times – to weigh the distribution of a network. The lawyers looked to Bitcoin as the benchmark. “It’s a tool to push along an informed discussion on what you’re talking about when you’re saying, ‘my network is decentralized,’” Ketsal partner Josh Garcia said.

A proposed fine of $5 million, 5% of the $100 million raised in the 2017 token sale that sparked the battle, is regarded as being relatively light, all things considered. Tim Swanson, head of market intelligence at clearmatics, noted the penalty – if approved – would be in line with another high-profile lawsuit and settlement from last year: Block.one’s $24 million paid for a $4.1 billion unregistered securities offering. More pattern pieces were placed earlier this year when Telegram paid a fine and abandoned its blockchain-based network. Kik, however, plans to keep its Kin network alive, with promises to alert the watchdog of any future token sales. For many,including CoinDesk,Kik’s persistence in fighting the SEC was a laudable effort. In 2019, Ted Livingston, Kik CEO, was named Most Influential for his determination to bring the fight to court, potentially creating a precedent for how token sales might be treated under U.S. securities law. Pressure mounted in recent months, especially after a judge found Kik’s ICO in clear violation of the Howey Test, the gold standard to determine whether an asset is a security. Kik General Counsel Eileen Lyon said the SEC should create clear rules for the crypto industry, rather than publish “conflicting statements” and other non-binding forms of guidance in September. It’s a statement we’ve heard before. • Blockchain Bites: PayPal’s Play, Mode’s Bitcoin Buy, CoinDesk’s Most Influential Needs Your Vote • Blockchain Bites: PayPal’s Play, Mode’s Bitcoin Buy, CoinDesk’s Most Influential Needs Your Vote... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/RedWineBlackPiano', 'My wife is actually pushing me to buy even more bitcoin', 50, '2020-11-11 00:27', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/', 'Anybody else recognise this ?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/', 'jrwag9', [['u/Frednn', 19, '2020-11-11 01:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/gbvw7a5/', 'Be aware of her probable "snaps" when the next 30% drop hits the market.', 'jrwag9'], ['u/sonicode', 69, '2020-11-11 01:29', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/gbvwscu/', 'Her boyfriend is a bitcoiner', 'jrwag9'], ['u/3DprintRC', 17, '2020-11-11 01:46', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/gbvyn8y/', 'Nice.

Stocks are up Wednesday despite the lack of a confirmed winner as yet in the U.S. presidential election. “Equities are unmoved by the uncertainty, rallying in the face of two possible outcomes,” GSR’s Kramer added. • The Nikkei 225 ended the day in the green 1.7% aspositive economic data out of Asia is signaling economic expansion. • Europe’s FTSE 100 closed up 1.6% astepid manufacturing data from October trounced investors’ concerns about Trump’s premature declaration of election victory. • In the United States the S&P 500 climbed 2.2% astech stocks made gains despite apprehension over the presidential election. Jason Lau, chief operating officer for San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange OKCoin, said he is not convinced that bitcoin’s jump Wednesday has anything to do with the election’s outcome. “While all eyes are on the election, it’s too early to attribute bitcoin’s gains to it in terms of the macro policy impact from either candidate,” Lau told CoinDesk.

Bitcoiners, as is often the case, remain bullish nevertheless. “Too many people believe the election can stop the crypto uptrend,”Token Metrics’ Noble said. “A strong desire for economic freedom and the emergence of inflation drives the uptrend in crypto. Those trends are in motion, and they will remain in motion regardless of who occupies the White House.” “My opinion is BTC will go up regardless of who wins this election in the short- to mid-term,” noted Alessandro Andreotti, an over-the-counter crypto trader. One signal for bullish sentiment: Overnight, over 6,700 CME bitcoin futures contracts traded (33,500 equivalent BTC), 75% more than what has been observed year to date and more than double the volume observed since launch, according to a representative from CME.

Limitations on Bitcoin’s composability have historically made it difficult to use it in the smart contracts that power peer-to-peer exchange platforms and instead require traders to swap the native coin for a wrapped version elsewhere, such as on a CEX, before moving it to a smart contract powered service like CryptoLocally – often adding in extra fees, custody risk, and KYC requirements. The partnership with Swingby will enable traders to send native Bitcoins through Cryptolocally. Incoming native Bitcoins will be routed through Swingby’s trustless “Bitcoin to Binance-chain” bridge “SkyBridge”, allowing for the BEP2 1:1 pegged assets to be used within the platform’s escrow smart contract. This will remove the need for third party custody exchanges and enable a long awaited feature for the CryptoLocally community that currently transact over $350k USD per month on the platform. Swingby’s advanced threshold-signature and MPC technology will enable the Cryptolocally to support the most liquid digital assets in the world, including Bitcoin, the $200 Billion market cap asset. CryptoLocally Co-Founder and chief engineer Jae Chung described the Swingby Skybridge as “the missing piece” needed in order to achieve the goal of offering even more token variety for trading, adding, “Swingby's Skybridge matches CryptoLocally's mantra perfectly — fast and non-custodial. We're very excited to bring this partnership to life and improve the trading experience for our users.“ Internal estimates predict that the addition of the native Bitcoin chain to the platform could conservatively triple the monthly trading volumes sending them over $1m USD per month. “We see ourselves as the ‘enablers’ of DeFi. Bridging together decentralised protocols and bringing the most liquid digital asset in the world, Bitcoin, into the ecosystem is our main mission. Our partnership with Cryptolocally is a great step in that direction and we are really excited to begin working with their team. By providing a trustless bridge between native Bitcoin and Binance-chain for each trade, the Swingby protocol can expect to process a few million dollars a month in baseline transaction volume and bring those volumes to our node stakers, whilst also facilitating more Bitcoin adoption on the CryptoLocally platform.” said Yusaku Senga, the founder and CEO of Swingby, adding “Once we have fully integrated our new groundbreaking one-round signing cryptography, and integrate Lighting Network in 2021, peer-to-peer trade times could be reduced to minutes or even seconds, giving the CryptoLocally platform a huge competitive advantage in the space.” About CryptoLocally CryptoLocallyis a leading P2P cryptocurrency trading platform. Our platform is non-custodial and uses a smart contracts escrow to provide additional security to users. Throughout the trading process no third party, including CryptoLocally, will have full control of the users’ crypto assets. That way, CryptoLocally remains a truly decentralised trading platform. The platform recently released a DeFi feature that allows users to earn interest on ETH, DAI, USDT, USDC, and GIV, our native token. Integrating the trading platform with DeFi capabilities and designing both to be easy to use have turned CryptoLocally into a viable pathway to financial inclusion for the 1.7 billion people still living without access to financial services. CryptoLocally recently closed a private sale of our native token, GIV. Investors includedFTX,IOSG Ventures,NGC Ventures,Genesis Block, andOne Block Capital. The GIV public sale will be held soon. About Swingby Swingby Labswas launched in Singapore in 2018 by a group of crypto enthusiasts joining forces to make the tools to connect Bitcoin with other blockchains.Swingby’s bridge protocol,Skybridge, builds trustless bridges between BTC, Ethereum, Binance Chain and other blockchains secured by a network of nodes that execute fast token swaps using layer 2 ‘multi-party computing’ technology. Skybridge allows users to move Bitcoin tokens between the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Chain blockchains without relying on a central custodian, opening up a world of DeFi capabilities such as liquidity pooling and trading with easy to use UX. Users can swap their coins across chains using self-custody wallets and there's no logins or KYC. The Skybridgetestnet bridgehas transactedover $14 Billionin testnet BTC capital between the Bitcoin and Binance Chain blockchains, and its decentralized technology has been fully battle tested in live high volume environments. In early 2021, Swingby plans to launch its Ethereum MainNet, bridging Bitcoin capital to an ecosystem which already hasover $750MM in Bitcoin capitallocked up in DeFi contracts. Building on exciting partnerships with projects such as Elrond, Waves and Kira Network, Swingby aims to expand reach to more projects, adding support where the most value can be added.

In doing so, it gutted some of Bitcoin’s key features; now, it’s worse off for it. One of these features, the so-called pay-to-script hash (P2SH) function, allows a user to send a transaction by signing it to a “script” rather than a public key address. These scripts create special conditions that must be met in order to access thebitcoinssent to them, and they are most often used in multisignature transactions – or, transactions that require more than one party to approve. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Drops as Low as $14.8K; ETH Options Open Interest at Record High Before P2SH transactions came to Bitcoin in 2012, Bitcoin’s only transaction type would send payments to a public key address through the pay-to-public-key-hash (P2PKH) function. Bitcoin Core developer and former Blockstream CTOGregory Maxwellpostedon Reddit’s r/bsvthat BSV developers removed the P2SH feature some time ago from the BSV blockchain’s code. In the ElectrumSV wallet (“and presumably elsewhere,” Maxwell says in the post), developers replaced the feature with a bootleg, BSV-specific version called“accumulator multisig”that utilized P2PKH transactions instead. There’s a reason Bitcoin uses P2SH for multisig and not P2PKH, because the latter is not ideal for multisignature transactions. It’s so insecure, in fact, that BSV holders are losing funds, Maxwell says in the post. Related:Buggy Code in This Compound Finance Fork Just Froze $1M in Ethereum Tokens “These scripts had no security at all,” he explains. According to Maxwell, the code’s architects only checked to see if the multisig transactions would work with the exact number of private keys needed to send the transaction (a multisig wallet requires more than one private key to authorize a transaction). They did not test transactions if more or fewer keys than necessary are present. In his testing, Maxwell found two significant problems: first, that multisig spends fail if more than the minimum number of keys sign a transaction. Second, anyone could tap the multisig funds “with too few signatures (such as none at all).” Read more:In Big Block Hard Fork, Craig Wright’s Bitcoin Has Left Nodes Behind One BSV user, Aaron Zhou,lost600BSVto anattack exploiting this weaknesson his multisignature wallet. When enquiring about the loss to a developer in a BSV chatroom, Zhou said that he trusted “it was safe enough” because “it was introduced by CoinGeek,” a pro-BSV media outlet bankrolled by Calvin Ayre, a close friend of BSV creator Craig Wright. By way of response, a developer in the chat chastised Zhou by saying he should only have committed “small amounts” to the wallet. With a tone of frustration in his post, Maxwell said that “the error could have been avoided with even the most basic testing or review.” The fiasco is a reminder that cryptocurrency development comes with trade-offs and requires diligence. BSV’s founders and proponents have marketed it as payments-focused coin with massive block sizes and blisteringly fast transaction times. To achieve these properties, BSV developers chose to strip Bitcoin’s code of key features. As evidenced by the multisig fiasco, this can come at the expense of security. When money is on the line, you can’t move fast and break things. Often criticized as a slow-grinding, too-conservative process, Bitcoin development often proceeds with the principles of caution and precision in mind. Unsurprisingly, as a Bitcoin Core developer Maxwell favors this methodical approach over the perfunctory one. “This situation would have been avoided entirely had BSV not ripped out the competent, time-tested and highly peer-reviewed mechanisms for multisig by Bitcoin in favor of far less efficient home-brew crypto,” said Maxwell. “Kinda makes you wonder what amazing bugs are lurking in their node software or wallets. I can say for sure: I’m not going to run any of it and risk finding out.” Developers at ElectrumSV have not yet returned answers to questions from CoinDesk. • Flaw in Bitcoin SV Multisig Wallet Puts Funds at Risk • Flaw in Bitcoin SV Multisig Wallet Puts Funds at Risk... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/nullbio', "I'm setting up WeNano hotspots in schools", 120, '2020-11-14 00:19', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/jtqyjq/im_setting_up_wenano_hotspots_in_schools/', "I've just purchased $500 worth of Nano to start setting up hotspots in WeNano at schools.

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

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

At the time of writing a single bitcoin was valued at more than $13,650, up from a low of $5,000 six months earlier and down from its heights of nearly $20,000. For investors interested in this borderline unique asset, either as a currency oras an investment, bitcoins can be bought online, at an ATM and even in person. Here’s what you need to know about each of these options. But first, a quick introduction to Bitcoin. It’s avirtual money or cryptocurrencythat is created and exchanged independent of the banking system or government authority. Bitcoins are made througha process called “mining”that involves the use of computers to solve extremely difficult mathematical equations. Once the problem has been solved, the computer generates a specific number sequence that’s assigned to the bitcoin. Bitcoins get their value – which can vary drastically – based on supplyand demand. What Is Buying a Bitcoin? A bitcoin is built on a database that uses a coding format called “blockchain.”Blockchaindatabases allow the user to store information in a secure manner that supports both public and private information. Put in other words, one of the unusual features of a blockchain database is that third parties can see the information stored in the database without being able to change that data. A single bitcoin is known as a token. This token is not a physical asset. Rather, the Bitcoin database has recorded that a specific number of tokens exist. When you buy a token, the database then adds an entry to indicate that you now own this given token. So, for example, if you were to buy token ABC123, the database would then update so its record read: • Token ABC123 Owned by Previous Owner • Token ABC123 Previous Owner Transfers to New Owner • Token ABC123 Owned by New Owner Everyone in the world can see who owns Token ABC123, but the Bitcoin database will only allow the token’s current owner to transfer it (again, by editing the ownership information). When you buy a bitcoin token what you receive is that token’s private key. This is an alphanumeric string that allows you to access and edit the ownership of a bitcoin token. Like cash, whoever holds the private key of a bitcoin token functionally holds the token itself. If the key is stolen, you can’t stop someone from spending that token any more than you could stop them from spending a stolen $100 bill. How to Buy Bitcoins There are three common ways to buy and sell bitcoins. Through a Website The most common way to buy bitcoins, and any other cryptocurrency or blockchain token, is through what’s known as a cryptocurrency “exchange.” Exchanges are online marketplaces where people buy and trade cryptocurrency tokens. There are a large number of exchanges and most of them specialize in different aspects of this industry. For example, some exchanges will specialize in utility tokens (blockchain products designed to be used with a software network) while others will specialize in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (blockchain tokens designed exclusively as currencies). For beginners, CoinBase is a popular and well-known cryptocurrency exchange on which you can buy and sell bitcoins.Robinhood, an online brokerage, also has a crypto component to its platform that allows investors to buy bitcoins. In October 2020, PayPal announced it would allow its users to buy and sell bitcoins. Using an exchange is the most secure way that you can trade bitcoins. When you use one, you will first create what’s known as a wallet. Your wallet will hold the private keys that give you access to your bitcoins and other blockchain tokens. Different exchanges will give you different options for how to store your wallet, but the most common option is simply to keep the wallet stored on the exchange’s servers. You will then link up a payment method, typically through direct draft froma bank account. It is still unusual for any cryptocurrency system to accept credit cards due to the legal concerns surrounding this issue. Doing so can constitute the use of debt to buy an investment product. Finally, you will find and buy your bitcoins on the exchange’s marketplace. The purchase price will be deducted from your linked bank account and the private key granting access to your new coin will be stored in the wallet you created. Through a Bitcoin ATM At time of writing there are more than 9,500 bitcoinATMs in service around the world. A standard bitcoin ATM allows you to buy bitcoins, typically either by using cash or a debit card. Some Bitcoin ATMs also allow you to sell your coins, but these are relatively unusual. A bitcoin ATM works similarly to purchasing on an exchange. You will select the number of bitcoins you’d like to buy, enter your payment and then receive your bitcoins. Depending on the specific device, the ATM will ask you how you would like to receive the private key that gives access to your purchased bitcoins. Some allow you to enter the information for an online wallet, like those created on an exchange, while others may send the key to your e-mail address. Still other ATMs will even print the key out in hard copy. Bitcoin ATMs are a relatively secure way to buy tokens in and of themselves, but given the nature of this product they often involve carrying large amounts of cash to or from a public place. For this reason it is often better to use an exchange when possible. In Person Buying bitcoin in person is extremely risky. We recommend against this method under ordinary circumstances. Most bitcoin wallets are what is known as “hot storage.” This means that the wallet is kept online, on a server. Hot storage wallets have the downside that they are subject to the third party’s security. If the service providing your wallet gets hacked it’s much like if the bank holding all your cash gets robbed (only without the protection of an FDIC). However, they also come with tech support. If you misplace your login credentials, there are ways to recover access to your account. Other wallets are kept in what is known as “cold storage.” This means that the private keys for someone’s bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are kept offline. Some people will store this information electronically, using devices like a portable hard drive or even a flash drive to store the private keys which control access to their bitcoins. (As these are simple alphanumeric strings, even an extensive blockchain wallet can be stored in as little as a text file.) Other people store this information in hard copy. In these cases the user will physically print off the alphanumeric key for their bitcoins or a QR code that can be scanned to produce the key. Then, if they want to access their bitcoins, they physically enter this key one digit at a time. Cold storage has the advantage that it is unhackable. You can’t hack something that isn’t plugged in, and certainly not a piece of paper. However, the often-enormous downside is that it is vulnerable to human error. Simply put, it is very common for people to lose cold storage blockchain keys. However, should you keep your bitcoin keys in cold storage, you can sell them in person. An in-person transaction would mean physically handing over the keys to the bitcoins you’ve sold and accepting payment in whatever manner you choose. This method works just as well as any others, but it is also highly insecure. It creates room for human error, loss and even (at extremes) theft. In-person transactions should be limited only to situations of extreme trust. The Bottom Line There are three main ways to buy bitcoins, one of the most well-known cryptocurrencies. Online exchanges are the most common and generally the safest options, but you can also buy them from dedicated bitcoin ATMs and through in-person transactions. Each of these options has its own advantages and risks so be sure you understand what those are and precisely why you are using any particular one of them.

Global central banks hold reserve currencies to help protect against major swings in foreign-exchange rates, as well as in the conduct of monetary policy. Related:This Self-Sovereign ‘DocuSign’ Uses Bitcoin for Digital Proofs The U.S. dollar has been the primary reserve currency since 1944, and investors tend to park funds in dollar-denominated assets or hold dollars during times of stress in the global economy. For instance, the U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback’s value against a basket of other major fiat currencies, rose from 94.65 to 103.00 in mid-March as global equity markets tanked on coronavirus-induced recession fears. Some analysts, however, foresee markets losing confidence in the dollar over the next few years. That’s because the Federal Reserve has pumped trillions of dollars of liquidity into the financial system over the past decade and is likely to continue printing money at an elevated pace for some time. The central bank’s balance sheet has expanded from $905 million to over $7 trillion in the past nine years, according to the St. Louis Fed. It has grown by more than $4 trillion in the past five months, as the Fed rolled out emergency liquidity programs to counter the economic toll of the coronavirus, while ramping up monthly asset purchases in a process known as quantitative easing. “The U.S. dollar is on the brink of losing its position of world’s global reserve as inflation concerns in the U.S. grows,” Goldman Sachs said in July. While theinvestment bank speculates thatgold could replace the dollar, the crypto communitycontends that bitcoin, with its deflationary monetary policy, is the best alternative to the dollar. Related:These 3 Trends Are Driving Crypto Market Growth Now Bitcoin’s pace of supply expansion is reduced by 50% every four years via a process called mining reward halving. At inception, each bitcoin block reward was worth 50 BTC. As of now, per block reward is 6.25 BTC – down from 12.5 BTC prior to May 12. Bitcoin’s tapering supply growth while the Fed has increased dollars is a large reason why many in the crypto markets have long been predicting the dollar’s collapse and bitcoin’s rise as a global reserve. However, such predictions often neglect that countries do not just accumulate dollars but also buy U.S. government bonds. “Central banks don’t just hold dollars; they hold U.S. Treasuries. That’s what corporations and large institutions do,” Chandler said. As of June 2020, Japan held U.S. Treasury securities worth $1.26 trillion, and China held $1.07 trillion, according to data providerStatista. According to the Federal Reserve and U.S. Department of the Treasury, foreign countries held $7.04 trillion worth of U.S. Treasury securities as of June 2020. The Chinese and Japanese purchases of Treasury bonds isn’t a case of these nations’ generosity, as is popularly perceived, but economic math. These nations run substantial current account surpluses (and capital account deficits) and invest their surplus forex reserves in the U.S. government bonds, given it is the deepest in the world. Also, investing in the U.S. Treasury helps Japan and China keep their currencies from appreciating and preserves current account surpluses. As of Aug. 20, the size of the global sovereigns, supranational and agencies bond market was $87.5 trillion, of which the U.S.accounted for$22.4 trillion and China $19.8 trillion. While China is a close second, its currency, the yuan, has yet to achieve full capital account convertibility and there are transparency concerns regarding Chinese markets. Put simply, no other bond market has the depth and transparency to absorb billions of dollars of demand other than the U.S. bond market. “No bond market can come close to Treasurys,” Chandler said. Meanwhile, no central bank has purchased bitcoin to date. While the institutional participation has increased this year, the cryptocurrency continues to behave like an investment asset rather than a safe haven or a future global reserve. Bitcoin fell during the March crash and has risen strongly over the past six months alongside the U.S dollar’s sell-off. Besides, price volatility is an issue. Bitcoin has moved at an average pace of 16% per month this year, substantially higher than a non-major currency like the Mexican peso, as noted by Chandler. As such, the idea of bitcoin supplanting the U.S. dollar as the global reserve in the near term looks far-fetched. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) fell by 10% to a 16-month low of 101.75 in the mid-March to mid-August period. The slide, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to adopt a more flexible approach to controlling inflation, has bolstered fears of the dollar’s collapse as a reserved currency. However, the dollar has suffered bigger sell-offs in the past and still maintained its reserve status. For instance, the index, which rose sharply from 77 to 89 in the seven months following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in August 2008, reversed gains and fell back to 72.70 by May 2011. That’s a nearly 20% decline in 12 months or so. More important, when the DXY made a low near 72.70 in May 2011, EUR/USD was trading near $1.45, up 23% from the current rate of $1.1750. Meanwhile, GBP/USD was trading above $1.65 – 28% more than the current exchange rate of $1.29. The Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and other major currencies were also trading at significantly higher levels than seen today, as noted by Chandler. Essentially, the U.S. dollar was aggressively sold on the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing programs. Even so, it remained the dominant global reserve currency. The dollar accounted for more than 60% of the global forex reserves in crisis and recovery years of 2009, 2010 and 2011, according to data sourcestatista.com. The situation hasn’t changed much this year despite the coronavirus crisis. The greenback accounted for 61% of the global currency reserves in the second quarter,as per the International Monetary Fund. Thus replacing the dollar is easier said than done. Bitcoin has to cover plenty of distance before it can threaten the dollar’s hegemony. For that to happen, the crypto community’s focus needs to shift from playing for price rallies to building infrastructure that would accelerate adoption at the institutional level. Major central banks like the Fed and the People’s Bank of China are working on digital currencies. Chandler postulates that central bank digital currencies would pave the way for an alternative payment system. The dollar bounced in September, ending a six-month losing trend even though the Fed adopted a more flexible approach to controlling inflation at the end of August. According to Chandler, the dollar’s bounce has got more to do with technical factors. The currencylooked oversoldagainst majors and bullish positioning in EUR/USD hadreached extremesin August. As a result, a minor bounce was overdue and was amplified by expectations for more monetary easing by the European Central Bank. The Fed has created more room for itself to keep interest rates low for a longer period of time by signaling a willingness to tolerate above-target (2%) inflation for some time. As such, the path of least resistance for the dollar is to the downside, unless other central banks follow the Fed’s path. With the dollar looking weaker, recent uptrends in bitcoin, gold and assets denominated in the greenback could soon resume. However, if Chandler is correct, the dollar is likely to prevail as the global reserve. • Bitcoin Unlikely to Replace US Dollar as Global Reserve: Marc Chandler • Bitcoin Unlikely to Replace US Dollar as Global Reserve: Marc Chandler... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/mudnut', "Bitcoin gave me opportunity like I've never had", 89, '2020-11-16 00:06', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/juvln5/bitcoin_gave_me_opportunity_like_ive_never_had/', "Look im not usually the type of guy to post some heart felt shit on reddit, but btc really changed my life ladies and gents.

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

Such tectonic shifts are being acknowledged by big players like Deutsche Bank, the latest lender to issue a report on CBDCs and their looming impact. The report, while quite conservative, recognizes the global financial system is in a state of exponential flux. For example, within only a decade of Bitcoin’s arrival, China has begun testing a CBDC in four major cities. Related: EU Proposes Full Regulatory Framework for Cryptocurrencies “The e-RMB and the Belt and Road Initiative would give China a chance to increase the importance of that currency overall,” Gerit Heinz, Deutsche Bank’s chief investment strategist, said in an interview with CoinDesk. “That could also imply some changes in the global reserve system.” Challenging the marriage of convenience between the global financial system and the U.S. dollar may be the technology’s ultimate impact. “CBDC has the potential to challenge the primacy of the U.S. dollar,” Heinz said. It’s perhaps no surprise this potential decoupling is being driven hardest of all by China, the anchor of a region that holds half the world’s foreign exchange reserves, not to mention some of the niftiest digital payments infrastructure. Whither Europe? Related: Societe Generale to Use as Many as Five Blockchains in Capital Markets Trials So what’s Europe’s position in this digital currency cold war? Earlier this month, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said at a conference in Germany that Europe has fallen behind the competition when it comes to CBDCs . A digital euro, which would not replace cash but complement it, is needed to keep Europe at the cutting edge of innovation and to provide an alternative to private digital currency initiatives like libra, Lagarde added in a speech last week . Story continues Read more: Digital Euro Would Provide Alternative to Cryptos, ECB President Lagarde Says The CBDC race is being run on uneven ground, however. Deutsche’s Heinz pointed out that in a democratic system, governments would have to take time to explain these developments to their people. “And people would probably want to have a say in this, although probably to varying degrees in different countries,” he said, adding: “In Europe, I would expect a lot of discussions about this. The euro introduced as a currency decades ago has triggered a lot of discussions. So CBDC in a euro system of different countries would, of course, imply much more discussion than in a bigger, more centralized country like China.” Stepping back, the Deutsche Bank report reminds us that changes to the dominant global reserve currency are a historical recurrence. “The pound was more important in the past and then the dollar took over; the petro-dollar and the fact that commodities are traded in dollars is one reason,” said Heinz. The difference today is that it’s not just the dominance of the dollar, it’s the dominance of U.S.-centric infrastructure and technology in payment systems, said Rashid Hoosenally, CEO of Lacero, a builder of infrastructure connecting digital assets to regular businesses. “I think that in the CBDC story, there is potentially an evolution to a more distributed version of that power, something that looks more like a global consortium rather than being overly centered around any one country or economic bloc,” said Hoosenally. “If that also leads to more harmonization of regulation and technology standards, that could bring huge financial and social benefits by making the system much more efficient.” Loveless marriage As such, CBDC could be the next front in a technology-based cold war, which has included things like the Google tax , and in which regard it’s not at all surprising to find that Europe appears to be more outraged than anyone over Facebook’s libra plans. (It’s also interesting to note that Europe’s broad proposals for its digital finance future, which include a framework for the regulation of all digital assets , also aims at gaining some kind of oversight of U.S. cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and IBM Cloud.) Read more: Leaked EU Draft Proposes All-Encompassing Laws for Crypto Assets On the banking side of things, there are some who even see CBDC as a possible revenge catalyst for putatively protectionist policies introduced by the U.S. post-2008. “I’m not sure I would call it a ‘war’ or a ‘battle’ because I think really what central banks are doing is responding to what’s going on in the economy,” said Gary Smith, founder of Sovereign Focus, a consultancy based in London. However, Smith did refer to the arrangement regarding America and Europe, as well as many other places as something of a loveless marriage , citing as an example U.S.-imposed sanctions on Iran. “The U.S. walked away from the Iran agreement. Europe hasn’t and would like to do some trade with Iran, but they are being bullied by the U.S. Treasury,” said Smith. “So having an alternative payment system that Europe can use without falling foul of the U.S. Treasury is something that probably has some appeal.” Also last week, the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA), a trade association with close ties to the European Commission, showed its support for the creation of a level playing field for digital assets in Europe, by stating in a blog post : “Europe is not just carving out its own place in the ‘tech cold war.’ It is seeking to rise above it with a cunning strategy.” The situation regarding CBDCs on the global stage is not about being anti-American, or anti-Chinese, said Marc Taverner, INATBA’s executive director. “What we are seeing is the tectonic plates shifting and a great opportunity around digital currencies and DLT,” Taverner said. “What Europe is aiming at is to be is a place for innovation.” Read the full report: Related Stories CBDCs Could Challenge US Dollar’s Dominance: Deutsche Bank CBDCs Could Challenge US Dollar’s Dominance: Deutsche Bank... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/[deleted]', 'I’m a Bitcoin bull.

There’s no way big money will wait for a correction that size, and demand will not allow for it. Look at what happens with the S&P for example.\n\nThat might explain why the dip from high $13ks stopped around $13k, and this recent dip from $16.4 was gobbled up at $15.7k.\n\nIf everyone’s waiting for $12k, it’ll likely never get there.\n\nEdit: For those cerebrally challenged; I'm not saying there will be no pullbacks.

A pandemic raged worldwide, the global economy tanked and social divisions grew wider. There is no way to avoid this in a year-end retrospective. Still, crypto has been on the up-and-up. It was a year of firsts. The U.S. Congress entertained the idea of a digital dollar for the first time. Ethereum will become the largest blockchain to completely reinvent itself . Bitcoin , for the first time, ended up on the balance sheets of multiple publicly traded corporations as a hedge against inflation . There’s work to be done and more barriers to break, but the financial and technological revolution underpinned by open-source, public blockchain technology is well on its way. We’ve seen the maturation of decentralized finance (plus plenty of food fights ), the well regarded launch of Filecoin and astounding growth in the value and use of crypto-dollars.

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

No other economy facing hyperinflation has come near the South American nation in terms of GDP-adjusted activity on peer-to-peer crypto exchanges, according to new CoinDesk Research analysis of data from LocalBitcoins and Paxful, the two largest such exchanges. Previous reporting from CoinDesk has shown that amid platform bans by the government and Venezuelans unease toward foreign crypto coverage, peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions remain at the center of the countrys thriving crypto scene . In general, Venezuelans cite a combination of factors for the rise of crypto there including migration, capital controls, risk of government seizure, demand for hard money and exposure to the petro, the cryptocurrency backed by the government. Whatever the main cause, data indicate unique factors could be driving bitcoin adoption in Venezuela, which is far outpacing adoption in countries experiencing similar economic fallout. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Breaches $16K as (Committed) Holders Diss Dalio's Diss The map above shows a visualization from CoinDesks GDP-adjusted database of LocalBitcoins and Paxful volume by currency . Venezuelas dominance is apparent. Other GDP-adjusted analyses of peer-to-peer bitcoin trading volumes, such as this one from analyst Matt Ahlborg, excluded Paxful, which has become a major platform. In this data visualization from CoinDesk, we include both LocalBitcoins and Paxful data and adjust for GDP. Peer-to-peer activity in Venezuela has continued to dominate with a monthly level at least twice as high as the next-largest market, Nigeria. Paxfuls exit from Venezuela is imminent, but its growth in other parts of the world make it an important component of analysis that looks at peer-to-peer crypto trading on a global scale. Peer-to-peer crypto exchanges are often where people come to buy their first crypto assets, Ahlborg argued in the same analysis, and so their activities can depict how the crypto asset is adopted on the ground level more truthfully than larger exchanges that are set up for fast-paced, speculative trading. By and large, this is true in Venezuela. Expats use bitcoin to send remittances back home, where locals convert it to bolivars to buy food and pay bills. With crypto remittances from expats plunging , peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions within the country have proven resilient. LocalBitcoins and Paxful trades using bolivars peaked in the first half of 2019, and have since hovered around $20 million. Story continues Related: 98% of Bitcoin's 'Unspent Outputs' Are Worth More Than When Made Continued high volumes are driven by businesses demand for bitcoin, according to Gabriel Jiménez, a Venezuelan blockchain entrepreneur who led the development of the petro. Venezuelan businesses often use bitcoin as a medium to obtain foreign currencies like the dollar, he said.

Among the 10 economies that have experienced the highest rates of annual inflation since 2017, according to data from the International Monetary Fund, only Venezuela, Argentina and Iran have shown significant peer-to-peer bitcoin market activity, and none approach Venezuela in size or consistency. Venezuelas peer-to-peer bitcoin activity has been extraordinary, whether measured as an absolute or relative to GDP. What sets Venezuela apart may be governmental support of a digital currency. The petro helped loosen Venezuelans fear of dealing with services like LocalBitcoins, said Jiménez. Some high-inflation countries have moved in the other direction. The government of Zimbabwe, where the two largest peer-to-peer bitcoin exchanges have shown zero activity, has made efforts to curb cryptocurrency adoption . There are other factors: Venezuelas inflation rate is measured by the International Monetary Fund at orders of magnitude higher than any other economy in the top five by annual inflation rates. It hit 65,374% in 2018. The next-highest rate of inflation tracked by the IMF over the past three years is in Zimbabwe, where it is projected to be 319% in 2020. People living in Venezuela are living under a very unstable and predatory government. They suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And heres a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so its very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value, said Andrea OSullivan, director of tech and innovation at James Madison Institute, a Washington think tank. Peer-to-peer vs. centralized exchanges According to Jiménez, Venezuelans prefer peer-to-peer exchanges also because theyre better than other alternatives. Centralized services, for example, have lower liquidity and less-developed trading capabilities due to a lack of service from Venezuelan banks. The early bird factor is yet another reason. LocalBitcoins became such a popular exchange in Venezuela not only because it was inexpensive, but also because it was the first thing available to Venezeulans as soon as government normalization of cryptocurrencies was in the air around 2017, Jiménez added. Veteran LocalBitcoins traders have their ratings, number of successful trades and years of experience visible on their profile pages, which attracts and maintains customers loyalty to them and, in turn, both sides loyalty to the platform.

Yet, even though its slated to cease all operations in Venezuela because of heavy U.S. sanctions against the country, Paxful has been on the rise. In July, trades involving bolivars doubled the June volume, crossing the $100,000 line for the first time since the currency was reissued in August 2018, the research shows. The exchange is also enjoying explosive growth in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. People living in Venezuela suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And heres a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so its very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value. That said, Paxfuls monthly volume in each of these countries has only amounted to half of LocalBitcoins growth in Venezuela, our data visualization shows. Peer-to-peer activity continues to be most dominant in Venezuela, where it is used to skirt government restrictions and obtain foreign fiats. Its possible that, as Jiménez suggested, Venezuelas peer-to-peer bitcoin activity wouldnt be where it is today without crypto-friendly initiatives from the government itself. Its also possible that bitcoin adoption in Venezuela may be driven by the sheer rate of Venezuelas hyperinflation, which outpaces other crisis economies. As bitcoins real-world uses continue to crystallize, yet other factors may emerge as drivers of its adoption.

It started back in June, amid the nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd, when Brian Armstrong, the companys extremely introverted cofounder and CEO , was asked a question at an employee town hall about why Coinbase had not shown public support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Armstrong declined to give a clear answer, according to crypto news site The Block , and his avoidance resulted in a virtual walkout by hundreds of Coinbases 1,100 employees on June 3. The next day, Armstrong tweeted , I want to unequivocally say that Black Lives Matter. He added: Ive been watching the events of the last few weeks unfold I really did not know what to say about it for a long time, and I'm still not sure I do. But Ive been getting educated. News of the walkout never came out until this week, when Erica Baker, the director of engineering at GitHub, tweeted , A large portion of the Coinbase engineering team walked off the job just before that thread went up because Brian wouldnt say black lives matter. She added that even Google, who had been mum on racism for their entire existence, said something about the Floyd protests. Indeed, Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Salesforce are some of the mega-tech names that released public statements of support for the Floyd protests or the Black Lives Matter movement. Coinbase, during that time, made no such statement prior to Armstrongs tweets. Last weekend, likely in response to ongoing unrest within the company, Armstrong posted a public memo on the Coinbase blog explicitly stating the companys commitment to an apolitical culture. We dont engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission Coinbase, Armstrong wrote, will focus on its mission to build cryptocurrency products. We are a for-profit business, he wrote. We shouldnt ever shy away from making profit, because with more resources we can have a great impact on the world. Story continues On political and social issues, Armstrong wrote, We dont engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission, because we believe impact only comes with focus... We dont advocate for any particular causes or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission. Translation: Coinbases mission is to make money via cryptocurrency banking products. It is interested purely in crypto capitalism. That in itself wouldnt be so controversial. (Paul Graham, Y Combinator founder and an early investor in Coinbase, applauded : I predict most successful companies will follow Coinbase's lead... those who don't are less likely to succeed.) What rankled many inside the company and out was his apparent forbidding of employees from even talking about politics. Armstrong listed specific discussions he doesnt want happening inside San Francisco-based Coinbase: We wont: Debate causes or political candidates internally; Expect the company to represent our personal beliefs externally; Assume negative intent, or not have each others back; Take on activism outside of our core mission at work. The Verge aptly called this an act of wishful thinking . Fortune wrote, There is no such thing as apolitical culture. Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo replied to Paul Graham : This isnt great leadership... Its the equivalent of telling your employees to shut up and dribble. Jill Carlson, who manages blockchain investments at VC firm Slow Ventures, tweeted , Have you ever thought about what a privilege it is to be able to NARROWLY FOCUS at work? Other critics pointed out that by publicly declaring he wants his company to stay away from politics, Armstrong effectively did the opposite. The memo clearly did not go over well with some employees. By Tuesday, Armstrong emailed employees to outline the severance package the company will offer to anyone who does not feel comfortable with the new direction. A survey by the tech site The Information on Thursday found that 51% of its subscribers disagreed with Armstrongs memo and said companies should engage with social activism, but 56% of subscribers also dont believe employees should leave a company because they disagree with their CEOs politics.

(Photo by Steven Ferdman/Getty Images) Big brands taking political stands The larger problem with the memo is that Armstrongs goal of an apolitical tech company looks like a pipe dream in 2020. Amid the Donald Trump presidency, political divisions have made social media a frequently toxic place, and big consumer-facing brands (in tech and in other industries) have frequently been forced into politics . Under Armour founder Kevin Plank called Trump a real asset for this country and his companys own sponsored athletes expressed outrage on social media . After white nationalists toted Tiki torches at the violent rally in Charlottesville, Tiki had to clarify that, We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way. Keurig temporarily pulled its ads from Sean Hannitys Fox program and quickly became the target of a boycott by Hannity fans who destroyed their Keurig machines. Wayfair employees in Boston staged a dramatic walkout after discovering the company was selling its furniture to a contractor that supplied private prisons. As a result, many brands have proactively taken steps to make their political views clearthey have chosen to take a side. Nike signed former NFL quarterback and political lightning rod Colin Kaepernick to an endorsement deal, and Dicks Sporting Goods stopped selling assault rifles at its shops; both moves enraged conservatives, many of whom threatened to boycott those companies. American companies are finding their woke values, and in many cases it has worked for them, said NYU marketing professor and tech commentator Scott Galloway. Its not principle-led, its shareholder-driven. In Silicon Valley, employee activism has surged. Google has had multiple employee walkouts or protests in response to multiple issues at the company, including its handling of sexual harassment accusations and its work with the Chinese government. Apple CEO Tim Cook faced backlash for his 2019 meeting with a Chinese tech regulator and for appearing to kowtow to China by removing apps from the app store at Chinas request. Facebook has become the prime symbol of Big Techs failure to monitor misinformation and hate speech; it hasnt hurt the stock one bit. More recently, the direct listing of Palantir, the shadowy defense security firm cofounded by Trump donor Peter Thiel that has worked with I.C.E., served as a reminder that much of Silicon Valley is conservative, not all liberal idealists. In Palantirs S-1 filing in August, CEO Alex Karp declared , "The engineering elite of Silicon Valley may know more than most about building software. But they do not know more about how society should be organized or what justice requires. The Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange application is seen on the screen of an iPhone on October 05, 2018 in Paris, France. (Photo Illustration by Chesnot/Getty Images) Brian Armstrongs memo has strong shades of Mark Zuckerbergs much-maligned attempts to stay politically neutral. The rise of stakeholder capitalism and ESG investing (environmental, social, governance) makes Armstrongs longing to keep Coinbase apolitical look clumsy. Armstrongs retort to that very trend is in his memo: It has become common for Silicon Valley companies to engage in a wide variety of social activism, even those unrelated to what the company does... while I think these efforts are well intentioned, they have the potential to destroy a lot of value at most companies, both by being a distraction, and by creating internal division. His stance created internal division at his own company. And the situation is likely far from resolved. UPDATE, Oct. 8: In a blog post , Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says that 60 employees, or 5% of the workforce, have left after his memo.

Earlier this week, authorities have traced and seized over 69,000 of the missing Bitcoin in what has become the largest seizure of cryptocurrency in the history of the Department of Justice to date. Seeing as one Bitcoin is currently valued at $15,000, the pile in DOJ’s possession is worth over $1 billion. The department has now filed a civil complaint for the Bitcoin forfeiture. Silk Road was a massive marketplace on the dark web where people could anonymously conduct drug and gun sale transactions, among other illicit activities. Authorities shut down the platform in 2013 and arrested its founder who was known by the pseudonym “Dread Pirate Roberts.” As the Wall Street Journal notes, they only managed to seize 175,000 Bitcoin from Ulbricht back then, which is less than half of the 600,000 Bitcoin they believe the website generated in commissions. US Attorney Anderson said in a statement: “Silk Road was the most notorious online criminal marketplace of its day. The successful prosecution of Silk Road’s founder in 2015 left open a billion-dollar question. Where did the money go? Today’s forfeiture complaint answers this open question at least in part. $1 billion of these criminal proceeds are now in the United States’ possession.” The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation unit was responsible for finding the 69,000 seized Bitcoin. Agents from the unit started analyzing Silk Road’s digital wallets earlier this year and found 54 previously undetected transactions. They determined that Ulbricht didn’t make those transactions and that they were conducted by a hacker they’re referring to as “Individual X” who stole the Bitcoin in 2012 and 2013. The DOJ says Individual X agreed to hand over what they stole after authorities tracked them down, signing a Consent and Agreement to Forfeiture with the Northern District of California’s US Attorney’s Office on November 3rd. It’s worth noting that Ulbricht was aware of the hacker’s online identity and allegedly threatened them for the Bitcoin’s return. Individual X, however, refused to give in — they simply sat on that enormous amount of money and didn’t spend it. "Ulbricht became aware of Individual X’s online identity and threatened Individual X for return of the cryptocurrency to Ulbricht. Individual X did not return the cryptocurrency but kept it and did not spend it." — Alon Gal (Under the Breach) (@UnderTheBreach) November 5, 2020 The DOJ didn’t reveal what it plans to do with the massive pile of digital coins, but the government auctioned off the other Silk Road-related coins it previously seized. How much the government can get from it remains to be seen, though, since releasing lots of Bitcoin to buyers could lower its value.

Backing the dollar is the worlds biggest, deepest and the most transparent government bond market, Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex and author of the book Making Sense of the Dollar, told CoinDesk in a recent video chat. I just dont know how bitcoin can replace the greenback from that viewpoint. A global reserve currency is the one that facilitates cross-border trade, including investments and international debt obligations. Global central banks hold reserve currencies to help protect against major swings in foreign-exchange rates, as well as in the conduct of monetary policy. Related: This Self-Sovereign DocuSign Uses Bitcoin for Digital Proofs The U.S. dollar has been the primary reserve currency since 1944, and investors tend to park funds in dollar-denominated assets or hold dollars during times of stress in the global economy. For instance, the U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the greenbacks value against a basket of other major fiat currencies, rose from 94.65 to 103.00 in mid-March as global equity markets tanked on coronavirus-induced recession fears. Some analysts, however, foresee markets losing confidence in the dollar over the next few years. Thats because the Federal Reserve has pumped trillions of dollars of liquidity into the financial system over the past decade and is likely to continue printing money at an elevated pace for some time. The central banks balance sheet has expanded from $905 million to over $7 trillion in the past nine years, according to the St. Louis Fed. It has grown by more than $4 trillion in the past five months, as the Fed rolled out emergency liquidity programs to counter the economic toll of the coronavirus, while ramping up monthly asset purchases in a process known as quantitative easing. Story continues The U.S. dollar is on the brink of losing its position of worlds global reserve as inflation concerns in the U.S. grows, Goldman Sachs said in July. While the investment bank speculates that gold could replace the dollar, the crypto community contends that bitcoin , with its deflationary monetary policy, is the best alternative to the dollar. Related: These 3 Trends Are Driving Crypto Market Growth Now Bitcoins pace of supply expansion is reduced by 50% every four years via a process called mining reward halving. At inception, each bitcoin block reward was worth 50 BTC. As of now, per block reward is 6.25 BTC down from 12.5 BTC prior to May 12. Bitcoins tapering supply growth while the Fed has increased dollars is a large reason why many in the crypto markets have long been predicting the dollars collapse and bitcoins rise as a global reserve. However, such predictions often neglect that countries do not just accumulate dollars but also buy U.S. government bonds. Central banks dont just hold dollars; they hold U.S. Treasuries. Thats what corporations and large institutions do, Chandler said. Why countries buy U.S. Treasury Bonds As of June 2020, Japan held U.S. Treasury securities worth $1.26 trillion, and China held $1.07 trillion, according to data provider Statista . According to the Federal Reserve and U.S. Department of the Treasury, foreign countries held $7.04 trillion worth of U.S. Treasury securities as of June 2020. The Chinese and Japanese purchases of Treasury bonds isnt a case of these nations generosity, as is popularly perceived, but economic math. These nations run substantial current account surpluses (and capital account deficits) and invest their surplus forex reserves in the U.S. government bonds, given it is the deepest in the world. Also, investing in the U.S. Treasury helps Japan and China keep their currencies from appreciating and preserves current account surpluses. As of Aug. 20, the size of the global sovereigns, supranational and agencies bond market was $87.5 trillion, of which the U.S. accounted for $22.4 trillion and China $19.8 trillion. While China is a close second, its currency, the yuan, has yet to achieve full capital account convertibility and there are transparency concerns regarding Chinese markets. Put simply, no other bond market has the depth and transparency to absorb billions of dollars of demand other than the U.S. bond market. No bond market can come close to Treasurys, Chandler said. Meanwhile, no central bank has purchased bitcoin to date. While the institutional participation has increased this year, the cryptocurrency continues to behave like an investment asset rather than a safe haven or a future global reserve. Bitcoin fell during the March crash and has risen strongly over the past six months alongside the U.S dollars sell-off. Besides, price volatility is an issue. Bitcoin has moved at an average pace of 16% per month this year, substantially higher than a non-major currency like the Mexican peso, as noted by Chandler. As such, the idea of bitcoin supplanting the U.S. dollar as the global reserve in the near term looks far-fetched. Dollar has withered a bigger sell-off in the past The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) fell by 10% to a 16-month low of 101.75 in the mid-March to mid-August period. The slide, coupled with the Federal Reserves recent decision to adopt a more flexible approach to controlling inflation, has bolstered fears of the dollars collapse as a reserved currency. However, the dollar has suffered bigger sell-offs in the past and still maintained its reserve status. For instance, the index, which rose sharply from 77 to 89 in the seven months following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in August 2008, reversed gains and fell back to 72.70 by May 2011. Thats a nearly 20% decline in 12 months or so. More important, when the DXY made a low near 72.70 in May 2011, EUR/USD was trading near $1.45, up 23% from the current rate of $1.1750. Meanwhile, GBP/USD was trading above $1.65 28% more than the current exchange rate of $1.29. The Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and other major currencies were also trading at significantly higher levels than seen today, as noted by Chandler. Essentially, the U.S. dollar was aggressively sold on the Federal Reserves quantitative easing programs. Even so, it remained the dominant global reserve currency. The dollar accounted for more than 60% of the global forex reserves in crisis and recovery years of 2009, 2010 and 2011, according to data source statista.com . The situation hasnt changed much this year despite the coronavirus crisis. The greenback accounted for 61% of the global currency reserves in the second quarter, as per the International Monetary Fund . Thus replacing the dollar is easier said than done. Bitcoin has to cover plenty of distance before it can threaten the dollars hegemony. For that to happen, the crypto communitys focus needs to shift from playing for price rallies to building infrastructure that would accelerate adoption at the institutional level. Major central banks like the Fed and the Peoples Bank of China are working on digital currencies. Chandler postulates that central bank digital currencies would pave the way for an alternative payment system. Dollar sell-off likely to continue The dollar bounced in September, ending a six-month losing trend even though the Fed adopted a more flexible approach to controlling inflation at the end of August. According to Chandler, the dollars bounce has got more to do with technical factors. The currency looked oversold against majors and bullish positioning in EUR/USD had reached extremes in August. As a result, a minor bounce was overdue and was amplified by expectations for more monetary easing by the European Central Bank. The Fed has created more room for itself to keep interest rates low for a longer period of time by signaling a willingness to tolerate above-target (2%) inflation for some time. As such, the path of least resistance for the dollar is to the downside, unless other central banks follow the Feds path. With the dollar looking weaker, recent uptrends in bitcoin, gold and assets denominated in the greenback could soon resume. However, if Chandler is correct, the dollar is likely to prevail as the global reserve.

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

On July 15th, 2020, Twitter was the target of a widespread, disruptive hacking campaign . More than 100 high-profile accounts — including those of Jeff Bezos, Uber, Apple, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Kanye West — simultaneously tweeted out promises to match Bitcoin donations to a single linked charity, only within a 30-minute window. The charity was fake, and the scam essentially shut down Twitter for a few hours; developers caught it quickly and temporarily removed the ability for all verified accounts to tweet. Still, the hackers made off with an estimated $100,000. The New York Times published an interview with the scammers just a few days after the hack, alleging it was orchestrated by a small group of Discord users in their late teens and early 20s. On July 31st, police in Tampa, Florida, arrested 17-year-old Graham Clark on charges that he was the mastermind behind the scheme. This story is the focus of Friday’s episode of The New York Times Presents , which airs on FX at 10PM ET. “The Teenager Who Hacked Twitter” will also appear on Hulu the following day, via the FX on Hulu hub. The New York Times Presents is a series of standalone documentaries featuring investigative reporting around relevant social issues, and this is the fifth episode of its first season. In Tampa, Clark has pleaded not guilty to 17 counts of communications fraud, 11 counts of fraudulent use of personal information, organized fraud of more than $5,000, and accessing computers without authority. He will be tried as an adult. Two others were charged alongside Clark in a criminal complaint out of California: 19-year-old Mason Sheppard from the United Kingdom, and 22-year-old Nima Fazeli of Orlando, Florida.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/ThisGuyNeedsABeer', 'Are there crypto mentors?

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

The lack of bullish momentum will be a major cause for concern for XRP investors, especially following Bitcoin’s rally above $13,000 this week. For the time being, XRP remains trapped in a relatively tight trading range with the $0.225 level of support propping up price since early September. Despite showing signs of a break out above the $0.26 level of resistance on October 22, XRP was dealt a swift rejection for the fourth time in five weeks. Much of its trajectory over the coming months will depend on if Bitcoin can break 2019’s high of $14,000 and go on to set a new all-time high, as profits would eventually get liquidated into more speculative assets like XRP. This was what happened during the ICO bubble and subsequent bull market in 2017, with Bitcoin clearly leading the way only for altcoins to surge when BTC consolidated. However, according to Google search trends, the lack of retail interest in the cryptocurrency market today compared to 2017 indicates that institutional investment is behind the recent rally. The Ripple Foundation currently facilitates a number of OTC token sales of the XRP token to institutions, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse stating that token sales “are vital” to the company’s survival.

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: ['Andreessen Horowitz has published a report studying the way crypto prices have\xa0evolved. What Happened: The Melo Park\xa0venture capital firm released a report about cryptocurrency prices development on Nov. 24. It outlines three “cycles” the crypto industry already had –– “periods of high activity” in 2011, 2013, and 2017, followed by the so-called “crypto winters.” The first cycle took place in 2009-2012, according to a16z, with Bitcoin reaching $30 in June 2011, for the first time in history. The second cycle happened in 2012-2016, with its peak in 2013, which the report describes as “probably the first time most people outside of tech heard about Bitcoin.” During this time, a lot of startups were founded, and the ecosystem started developing. The Bitcoin price briefly touched the $1,100 mark in December 2013. 2016-2019\xa0is the time where the industry started gaining mainstream attraction, peaking in December 2017, when the price of Bitcoin reached $20,000.

It outlines three “cycles” the crypto industry already had –– “periods of high activity” in 2011, 2013, and 2017, followed by the so-called “crypto winters.” The first cycle took place in 2009-2012, according to a16z, with Bitcoin reaching $30 in June 2011, for the first time in history. The second cycle happened in 2012-2016, with its peak in 2013, which the report describes as “probably the first time most people outside of tech heard about Bitcoin.” During this time, a lot of startups were founded, and the ecosystem started developing. The Bitcoin price briefly touched the $1,100 mark in December 2013. 2016-2019\xa0is the time where the industry started gaining mainstream attraction, peaking in December 2017, when the price of Bitcoin reached $20,000.

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

For more than three hours on Wednesday, Democrat and Republican senators took jabs at Facebook , Twitter , and Google , saying that they disseminate misinformation, spark violence, and suppress conservative voices. The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation explored whether Section 230, a law that protects Internet companies from being held liable for what users post, gives Big Tech companies too much immunity. Lawmakers from both parties agree that the law should be changed or even revoked, though they differ about why. Democrats repeatedly criticized the companies for failing to remove harmful information on their services. Meanwhile, Republicans hammered the companies for allegedly suppressing conservative views and influencing elections. “You think that people don’t trust you,” said Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin. “I agree with that. We don’t trust you.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey spent the hearing trying to defend themselves from the attacks. Time and again, they said they’re at war against harmful content, that they are politically neutral, and that they’re working to safeguard the presidential election. Here are the highlights from the hearing: Heated exchanges The hearing was marked by intense exchanges between lawmakers expressing their frustration and executives trying to be as inoffensive as possible. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, took Dorsey to task for allowing Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweets questioning the Holocaust to remain untouched on Twitter while the service routinely flags President Trump’s tweets. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz criticized Twitter for blocking a New York Post article that suggested Biden had ties to corruption in the Ukraine while allowing a New York Times story about Trump’s taxes to remain. One day after the Post article about Biden was published, Twitter reversed its stance on blocking it. But Cruz also asked Dorsey point-blank whether Twitter has the ability to influence elections. Story continues Dorsey responded by saying, “No, we are one part of a spectrum of communication channels people have.” Cruz snapped back, “Mr. Dorsey, I find your opening answers absurd on their face.” Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, from Minnesota, said she was concerned about Google’s “defiant” response to the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against it. She also questioned Zuckerberg about Facebook’s alleged interest in pushing divisive content to users because it provokes them to spend more time on the platform. Zuckerberg disagreed with Klobuchar’s characterization, saying Facebook shows users content that it thinks will be meaningful to them like “when your cousin had her baby.” Klobuchar stopped Zuckerberg mid-sentence, saying she’s not talking about cousins and babies but rather the “corrosive” content like conspiracy theories. Beyond Section 230 Though the hearing was supposed to focus on Section 230, senators often veered off topic to discuss other issues including data privacy, antitrust, and political ads. The CEOs of Twitter, Google, and Facebook all said they continue to see foreign and domestic actors trying to interfere with the U.S. election, contrary to President Trump’s minimizing or dismissing the problem. The CEOs added that they have coordinated with the rest of the tech industry and law enforcement to identify and remove such posts. “One of the threats the FBI has alerted our companies and the public to was the possibility of a hack-and-leak operation in the days or weeks leading up to this election,” Zuckerberg said. “That if a trove of documents appeared, that we should view that with suspicion that it might be part of a foreign manipulation attempt.” Tech troubles The virtual hearing about the tech industry ended up being marred by tech hiccups. Even the tech CEO had troubles. Zuckerberg went AWOL from the opening statements because of a technical snafu that ended up delaying the hearing for a few minutes while the CEO tried to fix the problem. After Zuckerberg appeared, and explained he had trouble connecting, Sen. Roger Wicker, the Republican chairman of the committee, joked, “I know the feeling, Mr. Zuckerberg.” Later, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s audio was muted halfway through a sentence. Wicker alerted Blumenthal to the issue, and the hearing briefly paused until he was unmuted. Low moments Some lawmakers used the hearing to go off in odd tangents. For example, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee asked Pichai if Google still employed software engineer Blake Lemoine. In leaked internal emails, the Google employee likened Blackburn to a “terrorist” and a “violent thug” in her approach to certain political issues. “He has had very unkind things to say about me,” said Blackburn, implying that he should be fired and later suggesting that Internet companies unfairly censor conservative voices. In another odd moment, Sen. Johnson became frustrated with Dorsey because Twitter did not remove a tweet that contained a lie about Johnson strangling his neighbor’s dog. The author admitted in the tweet that the dog strangling was false, likely to show how misinformation can be spread. “That could definitely impact my ability to get reelected,” he complained in complete seriousness about the tweet.

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

That's the cryptocurrency's highest since January 2018. It's still unclear whether President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden had won the election as the vote count continued. However, Biden appears to be the favorite at publication time. The last time bitcoin peaked was back in December 2017 when the cryptocurrency traded at around $20,000. This year there have been a number of positive factors pushing bitcoin higher, such as the announcement that PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL ) is adding features enabling users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Square (NYSE: SQ ) also made recent announcements adding bitcoin to its holdings.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 0.24% on Friday. Following on from an 8.09% slide on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $17,171.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $17,531.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,641, Bitcoin slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $16,501.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $16,050, Bitcoin moved back through to $17,100 levels to limit the downside on the day.

For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,920 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Ripple’s XRP rose by 4.64% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.80%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.11%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin slid by 4.79% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.81%), Chainlink (-0.74%), Ethereum (-0.25%), and Litecoin (-2.70%), also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $593.32bn before sliding to a Thursday low $467.23bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $504.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 64.75% before sliding to a Tuesday low of 60.80%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.94%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% 17,133.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $17,198.0 before falling to a low $17,031.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.71%) and Crypto.com Coin (+3.90%) bucked the trend early on.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $17,531.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,098. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $17,068 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,604 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 levels. The second major support level at $16,038 should limit any downside.

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

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

DeFi tokens like YFI and LINK have fallen exponentially since the peak in late August as investors being to switch focus back to Bitcoin in light of its rally above $13,000. The vast majority of DeFi tokens are built on Ethereums blockchain, which adds a fairly crucial variable in that when Ethereum 2.0 goes live, projects will be able to run more seamlessly amid scalability improvements. DeFi Weve seen huge drops in DeFis total locked value (TLV) before, and well likely see them again. Hemachandra said. Its easy to see these overnight or multi-day movements as a slowdown or to read too much into the market, but the reality is that DeFi is up over 1,700% this year in TLV. Price fluctuations arent unusual in new asset classes, and although DeFis certainly an experiment, its garnering interest that makes me immensely excited for its future. In what has been eerily reminiscent to the 2017 bull run, altcoins like Ethereum and its subsequent erc-20 tokens have sold off against Bitcoin during the recent run. DeFi will likely recover when Bitcoin re-enters a period of consolidation as this is when traders will attempt to lock in profits and diversify into more speculative assets.

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

At the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $538.06bn to a Monday high $547.50bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $547.21bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell from a Monday high 62.80% to a low of 62.41%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.64%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.39% to $18,449.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $18,196.0 to a high $18,481.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Polkadot was down by 1.09% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 4.37% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $18,032 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,508 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break through to $18,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $19,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,820. Failure to avoid a fall through the $18,032 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,720 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$17,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $17,244.

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

A lack of venues that will accept cryptocurrencies for purchase. “I today can’t take my bitcoin yet and buy things easily with it.” 2. Bitcoin and other cryptos are too volatile to be considered an effective store of wealth. That volatility also hurts bitcoin’s use transactionally because vendors won’t know how much they’re getting, Dalio said. 3. If bitcoin or other cryptos become “material,” Dalio predicted governments will “outlaw” it. “They’ll use whatever teeth they have to enforce that.” “I don’t think digital currencies will succeed in the way people hope they would,” Dalio said.

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

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.

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

The uptrend began in early September after buyers bought a dip below $10,000, and gathered pace in the second half of October. Last week, prices reached a high of $15,971, a level last seen in January 2018. That’s a 63% price gain in eight weeks, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Flat at $15.3K; Crypto Locked in DeFi at All-Time High Over 2018 and 2019, bitcoin often languished below $10,000, struggling to recover from a crash that followed the late 2017 surge to record highs near $20,000. So, what’s behind the rapid gains in recent weeks? Here are three of the primary factors driving the bull market: “Over the past eight weeks, we have seen various notable public companies and hedge funds enter the cryptocurrency market with sizable deployment of capital,” Matthew Dibb, co-founder, and COO of Singapore-based Stack Funds said. On Sept. 15, listed business intelligence firm MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR)announced the purchaseof $250 million worth of bitcoins, and three weeks later payments company Square (NYSE: SQ) alsodisclosed its investmentin the bitcoin market.

Also read:Institutions Take Record Bullish Bets in Bitcoin Futures, Shrugging Off Exchange Missteps The increased institutional participation likely created upward pressure on prices. Further, it buoyed broader market sentiment and likely prompted more buyers to join the market. The number of bitcoin whale entities – clusters of addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 BTC –rose to four-year highsat the end of October. Retail participation increased, too, as suggested by the “accumulation addresses” metricrising to record highs. Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, expectations for additional U.S. fiscal stimulus alongside the Federal Reserve’s ongoing inflation-boosting bond purchase programs have triggered fears of a dollar sell-off, and motivated both institutions and retailers to put at least some money into bitcoin. “The talks of further stimulus efforts has put bitcoin on the map as a quasi-safe haven, possessing many of the store-of-value qualities of gold, despite its relatively [brief] existence,” Dibb said. Also read:World’s Growing Stockpile of Negative-Yielding Debt a Positive for Bitcoin, Say Analysts Large spot buyers, mostly institutions, have created a shortfall in bitcoin liquidity, pressuring prices to the higher side. “Between Grayscale’s GBTC trust, MicroStrategy and the influx of other large spot buyers, the supply of bitcoin is beginning to look more scarce,” Dibb said. Grayscale is owned by CoinDesk’s parent firm, Digital Currency Group. Further, retail investors took direct custody of their coins by moving them from exchanges to their own wallets, adding to the drying up of sell-side liquidity. The total number of bitcoins held on cryptocurrency exchanges has fallen 9% to 2,404,788 BTC in the past two months, according toGlassnode data. The decline in exchange balances is indicative of strong holding sentiment in the market. Bitcoin’s bullish bias strengthened following the cryptocurrency’s convincing break above $12,500 in the third week of October. Back then, many analysts had pointed to $12,500 as the level to beat for the bulls. That’s because the cryptocurrency had declined sharply following a rejection near $12,500 in August. “The real resistance level is around $12,500-ish, so, until a meaningful breakout above that level, nothing is done,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer at ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk on Oct. 20. Indeed, the eventual breakout above $12,500 looks to have invited stronger chart-driven buying pressure. Bitcoin ended the third week of October above the key hurdle and remained bid in the following two weeks. Now support, at $12,500, hasn’t been tested since.

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

Today's Key News: ['By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss and Suzanne Barlyn NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose from 2-1/2-year lows on Friday, as European Union and British negotiators paused talks for a post-Brexit trade deal, weighing on sterling, though the greenback still posted its worst week in a month after investors shrugged off a weaker-than-expected U.S. employment report. In late trading, the dollar index rose 0.1% to $90.725 ahead of the weekend, climbing from its lowest level since April 2018. On the week, the index was down 1.3%, its largest weekly loss since early November. Britain and the European Union paused talks on Friday after failing to narrow differences sufficiently to reach a trade agreement, less than four weeks before Britain completes its Brexit journey out of the bloc. The negotiators, Britain\'s David Frost and the EU\'s Michel Barnier, said they would brief their leaders to seek new impetus for the talks. Upbeat announcements on COVID-19 vaccines have helped drive a rally in riskier currencies at the expense of the safe-haven dollar. The euro and Swiss franc, in contrast, were headed for their best week in a month against the dollar. The single European currency touched a 2-1/2-year high, while the Swiss franc rose to its highest in nearly six years. Data showed that U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by 245,000 jobs last month after rising by 610,000 in October. That was the smallest gain since the jobs recovery started in May. "The biggest development this afternoon has been what I\'m telling clients is a \'fakeout-breakout\' in pound sterling," said Toronto-based Erik Bregar, head of FX strategy for the Exchange Bank of Canada, referring to the possibility of a Brexit deal that is now on pause.

That was the smallest gain since the jobs recovery started in May.\n"The biggest development this afternoon has been what I\'m telling clients is a \'fakeout-breakout\' in pound sterling," said Toronto-based Erik Bregar, head of FX strategy for the Exchange Bank of Canada, referring to the possibility of a Brexit deal that is now on pause.

PayMe+ is built onPayIDtechnology, the universal ID for payments that uses a simple, open standard to help people easily send and receive money using a single, secure payment ID. It works like email for payments, across any payment network and currency. With PayMe+ users can now register their PayID, create multiple PayMe+ addresses, attach custom labels to them, and connect a wide range of payment networks. Users can link cryptocurrency blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP, and traditional payment networks such as SEPA, PayPal, and Venmo. “PayID has great potential as a technology protocol. On the other hand, there is still no easy way for a user to register their PayID and benefit from a universal payment identifier. This is why we’re excited to launch the PayMe+ app, the first app on the market that allows anyone to register PayID identifiers in a matter of seconds!” -Dmitri Litvinovich, Chief Product Officer at CoinField. Users can share their PayMe+ address to receive payment on any of their linked networks. It means users no longer have to share separate wallet addresses for each network. Designed for any individual or business that receives money, PayID removes the headache of using long and complicated wallet addresses and multiple payment apps. With one simple universal ID for all payment networks, users can receive money effortlessly. “PayMe+ is another step forward in achieving a truly open payments network and creating real interoperability in payments. We are excited to see the PayMe+ app launch to bring PayID to more consumers and further our collective goal of establishing one single standard for sending and receiving money,” saidMichael Zochowski, Director of Product Management at Ripple. The PayMe+ app is available for free on both theApp Storeand onGoogle Play. Creating a PayMe+ address is also free. Users can learn more about PayMe+ and download the app atwww.payme.plus.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 4.10% on Friday. Reversing a 1.14% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,652.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $19,550.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $19,751, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day low $18,701.0. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $19,023 and the second major support level at $18,598. Through the afternoon, Bitcoin briefly revisited $19,150 levels before sliding back into the deep red. The brief recovery had seen Bitcoin move back through the support levels before the 2 nd sell-off. Bitcoin fell back through the first and second major support levels to a late intraday low $18,600.0. Late in the day, however, Bitcoin moved back through the second major resistance level to end the day at $18,650 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Bitcoin Cash SV rose by 3.29% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA (-9.89%), Chainlink (-9.39%), Litecoin (-10.68%), and Ripple’s XRP (-12.07%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-5.43%), Ethereum (-7.93%), and Polkadot (-3.40%) also struggled. Crypto.com Coin saw a more modest 2.29% loss on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $589.96bn before falling to a Tuesday low $525.17bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $545.60bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 62.55% before rising to a Friday high 64.16%.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.14%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.25%), and Polkadot (-0.30%) saw red to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 3.01% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $18,934 to bring the first major resistance level at 19,268 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $19,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $20,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $19,884. Failure to move through the $18,934 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,318 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$18,000 levels.

Bitcoin’s price rise stalled Friday after making gains over the past 24 hours, most notably going as high as $15,934, according to CoinDesk 20 data. It was trading at $15,502 as of press time. “BTC has been bullish for the last four weeks, incredibly rallying from $10,000 to $15,000,” noted Ian Balina, chief executive officer of analysis firm Token Metrics. “This month’s rally is similar to its previous big rally back in 2017 when BTC rallied from $6,000 to almost $20,000 over November and December.” Related:First Mover: What's Next for Bitcoin as Wall Street Gets Vaccine Booster The last time bitcoin’s price was at these levels was back on Jan. 7, 2018, when its 24-hour low was $15,632, a descent from that day’s $16,861 high during an overall market sell-off, according to the CoinDesk 20. “The next resistance level is between $16,000 and $17,000,” Balina added. “If it flies by that, it can retest its all-time high and possibly move above $20,000.” Read More:As Bitcoin Surges, Google Searches Suggest Little FOMO Among Retail A bitcoin price push higher will likely require the return of higher-than-average spot volumes.

I’d look to see if BTC can settle in and establish a base before making another move upwards.” Bitcoin’s dominance, a measure of the world’s oldest cryptocurrency’s market cap as a percentage of total crypto assets, is starting to dip. After a steady October and early November rise to 65.5%, it dropped on Friday. Jean-Marc Bonnefous, managing partner of investment firm Tellurian Capital, said bitcoin might be losing some momentum after its stratospheric price rise, adding that some investors make take profits and plow them into alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins. “BTC has already done quite a bit of work to the upside and will need to take a breather,” Bonnefous said. “At some point the rotation will occur again from BTC to these heavily sold alt tokens.” The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization,ether(ETH), was up Friday, trading around $442 and climbing 7% in 24 hours as of 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

The most-traded digital coin slid 3.1% to $16,522.61 at 11:05 a.m. in New York. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index extended a two-day plunge to about 19% -- its biggest since mid-March. The rout was kicked off by worries over the prospect of tighter crypto rules in the U.S. and profit-taking after a big rally, investors said. Even with the slump, Bitcoin has more than doubled this year -- an advance that has split opinion. Crypto believers tout a broadening investor base and the search for a hedge against dollar weakness as reasons for a durable boom. Critics point to a history of big swings, including a spectacular boom and bust three years ago. “We will see some choppy water in the short term as the market finds new levels before attempting another assault on the all-time high” said crypto analyst Jason Dean at Quantum Economics. “The pullback so far would not concern experienced Bitcoin traders or holders to any significant degree.” Read more: Bitcoin Fights Back With Power, Speed and Millions of Users Proponents of digital assets say the current focus on cryptocurrencies compared with 2017 is different because of growing institutional interest, for instance from the likes of Fidelity Investments and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Just this week, Van Eck Associates Corp. launched a Bitcoin exchange-traded note on the Deutsche Boerse Xetra exchange. In October, PayPal Holdings Inc. said it would allow customers access to cryptocurrencies. FOMO “After big rallies in shares and various other assets, they are all vulnerable to a bit of a pause,” said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors Ltd. in Sydney. “Bitcoin more than most, as it surged higher far more and had become far more frothy with speculative interest.” Others see signs of retail investors piling in to chase momentum for fast gains, storing up an inevitable reckoning. The rout in Bitcoin began just hours after it rose to within $7 of its record high of $19,511 set in December 2017. Profit-taking was inevitable and there are still factors in favor of Bitcoin as an asset class, according to Byron Goldberg in Sydney, who runs the Australian operations for Luno, the cryptocurrency exchange and trading platform. “It continues to attract both institutional and retail attention as a 21st-century substitute to the gold play,” he said. Crypto ‘Whales’ A few large holders often referred to as whales own most Bitcoin. About 2% of the anonymous ownership accounts that can be tracked on the cryptocurrency’s blockchain control 95% of the digital asset, according to researcher Flipside Crypto. That structure points to the risk of big price swings if major investors offload some of their stakes. “Bitcoin may be a victim of its own success,” said Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Plc in Sydney. “Traders suggested several large holders moved to lock in gains as the cryptocurrency reached for all-time highs.” AMP Capital’s Oliver said the depth of the recent plunge shows Bitcoin is “hardly a secure store of value,” adding it may be vulnerable if Covid-19 vaccines lead to a sharp global recovery next year. “Money printing and the debasement of paper currencies that Bitcoin enthusiasts are seeking to protect against may start to fade as an issue,” Oliver said.

At the end of 2019, assets under management stood at just $2.57 billion. Grayscale, the world's largest crypto fund had $336.3 million in inflows the latest week, lifting its assets under management to more than $12.4 billion. So far this year, Grayscale has amassed inflows of $4.3 billion, the Coinshares report said. "On an anecdotal level, based on our client conversations over the course of 2020, we have seen a decisive shift from enquiries of a speculative nature to those that begin with comments such as, 'bitcoin is here to stay, please help us understand it'," said James Butterfill, investment strategist at CoinShares. "Given the levels of interest, this suggests we are only on the cusp of institutional adoption rather than it cooling down." The largest weekly inflow on record was $468 million three weeks ago. Bitcoin products and bitcoin-focused funds attracted inflows of $334.7 million last week. Inflows to the original cryptocurrency have totaled nearly $4 billion so far this year. The largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization hit a record high just under $20,000 last week but has since stalled at around $19,000. It was last down more than 2% at $18,976.35. In contrast, gold saw outflows from investment products of a record US$9.2 billion over the last four weeks while bitcoin saw inflows totalling $1.4 billion in the same period, the report said. But inflows into gold products remained higher on the year at $45.7 billion. Ethereum, the second largest digital currency, had $87.1 million in inflows in the latest period. Investors have become more bullish on ethereum likely because Ethereum management provided greater clarity on the much-awaited upgrades that make the network much more efficient and sustainable, the report said.

With the long-anticipated arrival of phase 0 of theEthereum 2.0 upgradelaunching on Dec. 1, that could be the network’s native token,ether (ETH). But analysts say ether should be judged on its own merits and not as a bitcoin replacement. “I’ve always thought this digital asset space is huge – and it’s not justbitcoin– because there are going to be different applications for different things,” Raoul Pal, CEO and co-founder of financial media group Real Vision, said in Real Vision’s documentary “Ethereum – An Investigation,” which was released on Nov. 30. “I think of the two [bitcoin and ether] as having a very nice combined asset allocation.” Related:Protocol Hosting Google reCAPTCHA Competitor Expands to Polkadot For Pal, an early bitcoin investor, the rationale seems even more plausible these days: As bitcoin’s price hits a new all-time high, the number one cryptocurrency by market capitalization is now more expensive and thus potentially a riskier bet for new investors. It can be expected investors are looking for a new opportunity in crypto at affordable prices. Given that ether is trading roughly 59% below its all-time high of $1,432.88, it is tempting to believe there’s a bargain to be had. What’s more, the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade to increase the network’s scalability, security and energy efficiency has generated a lot of hype. Read more:Investment Giant AllianceBernstein Now Says Bitcoin Has Role in Investors’ Portfolios However, at least for now, analysts and traders who spoke with CoinDesk don’t think ether will replace theFOMO over bitcoin. Related:Kraken Exchange to Offer First Grants for Open-Source Ethereum Projects “For institutional investors, they are buying BTC for the digital gold narrative,” Ryan Watkins, senior research analyst at Messari, told CoinDesk. “ETH just isn’t in that conversation yet.” Ether “benefits from spillover and likely has more conversation around it from crypto-natives,” Vishal Shah, founder of derivatives exchange Alpha5, told CoinDesk. “For the uninitiated, [it is] hard to see how bitcoin is not the sole on-ramp.” Some analysts say that as more institutions pour money into bitcoin and push up its price, ether and other cryptocurrencies will gradually decouple from bitcoin. Indeed, while bitcoin this week logged a record high price, ether isn’t even close to its all-time high of $1,448.18. Data from CoinDesk shows the 90-day correlation coefficient between the prices of the top two cryptocurrencies, while still strong, has gradually weakened a bit since the summer from as high as 0.93 to nearly 0.7 at the beginning of December. “The thing about correlation is it can disappear at any time,” Ashwath Balakrishnan, research analyst at digital asset research firm Delphi Digital, told CoinDesk. “In that case, you want to understand the core fundamentals of what you hold because if you hold ether as a proxy [to your] bitcoin exposure, and [when] prices decouple, you are now exposed to something very different.” Bitcoin has been used by many investors this year as a hedge against a drop in the purchasing power of U.S. dollars. Ether is considered the currency of “the world computer,” which aims to build an ecosystem of decentralized applications. The close historical correlation between bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may be due to how tiny the digital-asset ecosystem is relative to the global economy. The total market capitalization of crypto assets is estimatedat $562 billion, a mere 1.7% of the S&P 500 stock index’s combined market cap of $32.2 trillion. With almost every crypto asset built on different fundamentals, non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies may be trending with bitcoin prices simply because the nascent market is still so small and insular. Read more:Volume Surge Brings 25% Turnover to ‘CoinDesk 20’ Correlation datadoesn’t tell the whole story. Prices may move in tandem but the degree to which that happens is another matter. When the explosive decentralized finance (DeFi) boom hit the market during the summer, ether’s pricerallied to its highest in more than two yearsbecause most DeFi projects are built on the Ethereum blockchain. At the time, bitcoin was struggling to break a similar two-year record. The market will have to wait and see what kind of real impact the ongoing Ethereum upgrade could have on its native currency because the final phase of the process is scheduled to be completed in 2023. But a major fundamental upgrade on the network underpinning ether could lead its price to move on its own fundamentals, instead of merely following bitcoin’s price. “The heart of ETH 2.0, which makes the entire system possible, is ether,” according toa reportby Messari. “ETH will not only be Ethereum’s native store of value asset and fuel for transactions, but will also be Ethereum’s ultimate source of security from its role in the [proof-of-stake] system.” Thus, while bitcoin can be seen as somewhere between a store of value and a commodity on the “asset superclass triangle,” ether could ultimately become the first asset to be a combination of all three classes of assets: capital assets, commodities and stores of value. “When ether’s price starts to be driven by its own catalysts, holding it as a proxy to having BTC exposure will not work as expected,” Balakrishnan added. • Why Ethereum and Bitcoin Are Very Different Investments • Why Ethereum and Bitcoin Are Very Different Investments... - Reddit Posts (Sample): []...

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 Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF BLCN, Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF BLOK, First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF LEGR, iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF SOXX and VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF SMH. Here are highlights from Friday’s Analyst Blog: ETFs to Gain on Growing Viability of Cryptocurrencies As soon as COVID-19 hit the globe, social distancing mandates and fears that notes may be carriers of the virus made the concept of digital currency popular. Be it corporations or central banks – all are mulling over the greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies. Notably, bitcoin is up about 80% this year as cryptocurrencies are drawing considerable attention this year. Bitcoin crossed the mark of $12,000 lately and marked its highest level since July 2019 on Oct 21. Corporations’ Greater Acceptance On Oct 21, PayPal announced that it will allow customers to hold bitcoin and other virtual coins in its online wallet and shop using cryptocurrencies at the 26 million merchants on its network. The new service makes PayPal one of the largest U.S. companies to provide consumers access to cryptocurrencies. This is great news for bitcoin and rival cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin jumped about 7% on Oct 21 on the PayPal news. PayPal competitor Square launched support for bitcoin back in 2018 through its Cash app. Square also bought $50 million in bitcoin this month as part of a larger investment in cryptocurrency. However, PayPal is broadening the area by supporting bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. PayPal also plans to extend support to its money-sending subsidiary Venmo and international markets starting in the first half of 2021. Story continues For now, the plan is only to support U.S. users. Notably, U.S. account holders will be able to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies in their PayPal wallets over the coming weeks, the company said, as quoted on Reuters. Other companies those accept bitcoins include Microsoft, AT&T, Dish Network, Burger King, Domino’s Pizza, Goldman Sachs, Intuit Inc, American online retailer Overstock, Shopify, Virgin Galactic, Zynga and Etsy,among others. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Concept Spreading Several central banks are considering the rollout of CBDCs lately. China has been taking serious moves toward no-touch payments. In efforts to match with China, seven major central banks last week set the key principles for issuing CBDCs, per Reuters. China's recent experimental $1.5 million (1.16 million pounds) giveaway of digital yuan to Shenzhen citizens received kudos from currency analysts. Sweden’s Central Bank, Riksbank is also conducting a pilot project with Accenture to prepare e-krona. The European Central Bank (ECB) is mulling over the rollout of a "digital euro" for the 19-nation currency club. The ECB launched a public consultation on a potential digital euro on Oct 12. In its 2020-2024 strategic plan, the Bank of Spain also said that it will focus on design proposals for a central bank digital currency. On Oct 19, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve, said that the Fed is committed to considering a CBDC but made no final call on it. The Fed wants “to get it right than be first,” said Jerome Powell. “One set of experiments is being carried out at the board of governors here in Washington, D.C.,” Powell said. How to Invest in the Recent Rise of Cryptocurrencies? Investors can choose to invest in options like blockchain ETFs. Per a source, “the blockchain in Bitcoin literally acts [as] a ledger; it keeps track of the balances for all users and updates them as money changes hands.” “Invented to host bitcoin, today many other cryptocurrencies are also based on blockchain technology.” So, since investors cannot lay their hands on a digital currency ETF now, they can definitely familiarize with the concept through blockchain ETFs like Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF , Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF and First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF . Also, ETFs offering exposure to the blockchain ecosystem via semiconductor companies that make chips for bitcoin mining (or could make for some potential CBDCs) can be played.

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 1.61% on Thursday. Reversing a 1.25% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,260.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $18,568.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,878, Bitcoin fell to a mid-afternoon intraday low $17,935.0. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $17,990 before a brief revisit to $18,300 levels late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Polkadot bucked the trend on the day, with a 0.1% gain. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Chainlink slid by 5.72% to lead the way down, with Cardano’s ADA (-4.24%) and Litecoin (-3.50%) also struggling. Binance Coin (-1.69%), Bitcoin Cash SV , (-1.46%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.66%), Ethereum (-2.61%), and Ripple’s XRP (-1.92%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $569.88bn before falling to a Wednesday low $509.70bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $525.77bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 64.26% before falling to a Wednesday low 63.03%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.80%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.03% to $18,072.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $18,299.0 before falling to a low $18,070.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a bearish start to the day for the majors. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 2.69% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $18,254 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,574 into play. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $18,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $18,887 and resistance at $19,000 would likely come into play. Failure to move back through the $18,254 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,941 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $17,621.

Announced today,LVL(pronounced “level,” as in playing field) is making its entire service free to use. LVL, which is backed by Morgan Creek Digital’s Anthony Pompliano andbitcoinadvocates Jimmy Song and Willy Woo, previously had no trading fees but only for subscription users. LVL is also partnering with Mastercard to release two debit cards in early 2021. A standard plastic debit card will be available to free-tier users for a $10 issuing fee, while a metal Mastercard is included with three months of LVL’s Premium service. Related:Crypto.com Takes Steps Toward Financial Licensure in Malta The new features come as bitcoin is hittingall-time highs. “We’ve always been behind a subscription paywall but now we’re just making our entire service free to use,” said LVL CEO Chris Slaughter. “You can buy and sell bitcoin, you can use the plastic debit card. So now in North America, there’s a regulated exchange that’s 100% free to use.” Read more:Bitcoin Trading Fees on PayPal, Robinhood, Cash App and Coinbase: What to Know LVL’s point is that large U.S. exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini with remarkably similarpricingschemescreate a lack of competition. If it takes a scrappy minnow with just $2.5 million raised to date to disrupt the monopoly effects of these crypto exchanges, Slaughter said, then bring it on. Related:Morgan Creek CEO Says Bitcoin Doing 'Extremely Well' Due to Fed Reserve's Dollar Devaluation “We are a super scrappy business contender by nature,” he said. “Like, we only have seven people but we have the first Mastercard approval in North America. We’re registered with FinCEN. And not only do we have bank accounts, they are full checking accounts.” (LVL also provides FDIC insurance on those accounts through banking platform Evolve, Slaughter said.) The exchange makes its money, Slaughter explained, by charging $3 for withdrawals, which primarily covers network fees. (Coinbase chargesa $1-$5 network fee.) The trading platform also charges $5 for same-day bank transfers and wires, which covers the exchange’s risk provisioning credit to users and generates some income for LVL, Slaughter said. The premium service at $9 per month, which also includes live-chat facility with a banker, is the means by which LVL Autopilot brings liquidity to the platform. The system runs industry-standard market-making algorithms, providing liquidity to traders and generating passive income for the Autopilot user, says Slaughter. “Based on our current number of pro users, and the way we expect liquidity to grow following this announcement, we expect to pass Coinbase’s liquidity within the 2% band in January,” said Slaughter.

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

The Boeing Market Outlook forecasts Chinas airlines to acquire 8,600 new airplanes worth $1.4 trillion and commercial aviation services for $1.7 trillion over the next 20 years. That will help the aircraft producer to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis . The U.S. planemaker said the worlds second-largest economy has seen rapid growth in middle-class income, robust economic growth and fast-growing urbanization, indicating the country will lead passenger travel globally over the next few years. Boeing forecasts Chinas annual passenger traffic growth to be 5.5% over the next 20 years. Late last month, Boeing reported a loss for the fourth consecutive time in the third quarter as the slowdown in air travel demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and grounding of 737 MAX hammered aircraft sales. Boeing shares closed 3.46% lower at $182.15 on Wednesday; the stock is down about 45% so far this year. Executive Comments While COVID-19 has severely impacted every passenger market worldwide, Chinas fundamental growth drivers remain resilient and robust, said Richard Wynne, managing director, China Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Not only has Chinas recovery from COVID-19 outpaced the rest of the world, but also continued government investments toward improving and expanding its transportation infrastructure, large regional traffic flows, and a flourishing domestic market mean this region of the world will thrive. Boeing Stock Price Forecast Seventeen equity analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $182.94 with a high forecast of $260.00 and a low forecast of $137.00. The average price target represents a 0.43% increase from the last price of $182.15. From those 17 analysts, eight rated Buy, eight rated Hold and one rated Sell, according to Tipranks. Story continues Morgan Stanley gave the base target price of $165 with a high of $238 under a bull-case scenario and $68 under the worst-case scenario. The firm currently has an Underweight rating on the global aerospace companys stock. UBS Group set a $150 target price on the Boeing. The firm currently has a neutral rating on the aircraft producers stock. Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. JP Morgan raised their stock price forecast to $190 from $155. Alembic Global Advisors upgraded shares of the Boeing to an overweight rating from a neutral rating and raised their price target to $184 from $150. Credit Suisse Group dropped their price objective to $74 from $84 and set a neutral rating on the stock. Canaccord Genuity reaffirmed a hold rating and issued a $155.00 price objective on shares. Analyst Comments We view Boeing as a relative Underweight as we see better opportunities in the aftermarket. We view Boeings order book to be more at risk post-COVID than consensus based on our analysis. The main reasons are: 1) A vaccine will not fix airlines ability to take deliveries overnight; 2) the 737 MAX delay trigger cancellation rights; and 3) the potential for additional 737 MAX delays is still outstanding, said Kristine Liwag, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley. Based on our bottom-up MS Aerospace Retirement Analysis, we estimate there is a $73 billion downside risk to Boeings revenue in 2020-2025. If air traffic does not quickly recover back to 2019 levels and airlines dont regain pre-COVID-19 profitability, there are significant risks of cancellations. Upside and Downside Risks Risks to Upside: 1) 737 MAX successful re-entry into service converts inventory into cash. 2) Acceleration of aircraft retirements boost new aircraft demand. 3) Profitable customer airlines order new aircraft highlighted by Morgan Stanley. Risks to Downside: 1) Potential additional 737 MAX delays create additional downside risk to the program. 2) Delayed aircraft retirements lower new aircraft demand. 3) Distressed customers financials trigger order cancellations.

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

As reportedby Bloombergon Thursday, 90%–95% of Winning Poker’s payouts are in bitcoin because of the recent price rise, said the company’s CEO, Phil Nagy. “We are constantly having to go out and buy bitcoin, lots.

Geographically, the majority of the bitcoin demand derives from the U.S., despite online poker being illegal in most states. So far this year, bitcoin’s price has risen 155%, buoyed by bullish cryptocurrency fundamentals,inflation of fiat currenciesand the global coronavirus pandemic. Nagy noted his company doesn’t hold bitcoin, instead preferring to convert to fiat without delay due to the digital asset’s volatility. However, he also said that when bitcoin is down, players will pay with the cryptocurrency as a way to liquidate quickly, meaning his company has been “kind of stuck with it.” • Players Prefer Cashing Out in Bitcoin Amid Rally, Says Online Poker Giant • Players Prefer Cashing Out in Bitcoin Amid Rally, Says Online Poker Giant • Players Prefer Cashing Out in Bitcoin Amid Rally, Says Online Poker Giant... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

MassMutual is the latest legacy institution to buy into bitcoin. And the number of Ethereum developers is growing at a breathless pace. Top shelf Whales and krill New data from OKEx and Kaiko suggests that bitcoin “whales” – the mega-wealthy crypto investors and, potentially, institutions – were selling at market highs as retail investors bought in . Trading data of the bitcoin/ tether pair on OKEx’s platform between August and November showed that during the November bitcoin rally whales took profits and bought the dip, while smaller buyers continued purchasing as they did in September and October, despite higher prices in the oldest cryptocurrency, and panic sold around the Thanksgiving pullback. While the picture is likely more complicated, OKEx’s data shows how small buyers are faced with “swimming with the tide or against it,” by holding positions largely influenced by major buyers and sellers. Mass buy Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance, a $235 billion insurance giant, purchased $100 million worth of bitcoin and invested $5 million in the crypto asset manager NYDIG. MassMutual told the Wall Street Journal it was a seeking “measured yet meaningful” stake in an increasingly digital world by taking on direct exposure to bitcoin. The life insurance company is the latest institutional stalwart to join bitcoin’s march into the financial mainstream, joining other publicly traded corporations and multi-billion dollar money managers in embracing bitcoin’s “macro” play.

In its annual developer report, the VC found the number of coders entering the crypto space to develop blockchains and projects is increasing nearly across the board – though Ethereum is by far seeing the most action. Almost 2,300 average monthly developers worked on Ethereum across the third quarter of 2020, with Bitcoin in second at a bit under 400 (up 70% from three years ago).

Some $76.5 million was raised in an initial public offering, which sold off two types of shares that offer exposure to ether , Ethereum’s native currency. In going public, the firm’s ether product marks a “world first,” according to a tweet by the fund manager on Thursday. 3iQ successfully launched a similar bitcoin fund earlier this year.

Last year, Griffith, a 37-year-old American computer science doctorate, was arrested and detained for violating U.S. sanctions against North Korea, after he travelled to the nation to present on the decentralized, public blockchain Ethereum. The Ethereum Foundation staffer and research scientist presented on how to utilize this open cryptocurrency network for local and international transfers, at the Pyongyang Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference. This information – essentially that ether is uncensorable – is decidedly in the public domain. He did not receive an honorarium for his presentation. Now, Griffith’s attorneys are left wondering what the boy genius is accused of. In a new court filing the defense is requesting “particulars” about what services Griffith allegedly provided, who else was involved and how these services violated U.S. law. (He traveled to the nation even after his request for permission to do so from the State Department had been denied.) “The defense should not be forced to use a decoder ring on over 6,800 pages of discovery – much of which has been heavily redacted by the government – to discern the basic information that should be present in every indictment: what crimes were actually alleged to have been committed, by whom, and where,” they write. So what’s at stake? Only the civil liberties guaranteed and protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The count against Griffith is conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as well as some associated legal violations. Though prosecutors were shy of specifics. (The IEEPA provides broad executive powers to place economic sanctions on individuals, businesses, governments and other entities – thereby prohibiting U.S. persons and corporations from dealing with sanctioned nations.) Notably, under the 1988 Berman Amendment, the IEEPA prohibits sanctioning the transfer of information or “informational materials.” That includes the type of speech freely available online. The question now is whether Griffith provided a service to the North Korean government, a point his defense has rebuked. Even if it’s granted that Griffith traveled to a sanctioned nation – a big taboo – and broke defense mandates limiting the type of “services” or information one can provide to an adversarial nation – it’s likely the information Griffith presented on would not be sanctionable . Griffith’s presentation was titled “Blockchain and Peace,” and according to the complaint it addressed “how a blockchain technology, including a ‘smart contract,’ could be used to benefit” North Korea. As the FBI itself has said, it contained “basic concepts accessible on the internet.” Who won #CryptoTwitter?

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

We need a way to make cash flows deterministic. We should be able to set rules around trades and transfers. We should be able to do this without bloated back offices performing manual reconciliations and without requiring developers to integrate across an entire fragmented universe of systems built on COBOL and teetering on top of mainframes. The race is on to solve these issues. On one team, cryptocurrency entrepreneurs are taking a first-principles approach, starting with completely new assets and new infrastructure in order to get “ programmable money .” On another team, fintech builders are tackling the problem by building around the systems that already exist: Simple APIs will grant us “ autonomous finance .” Both approaches promise a new day for the retail experience of finance, but they are taking very different paths to get there. Jill Carlson, a CoinDesk columnist, is co-founder of the Open Money Initiative, a non-profit research organization working to guarantee the right to a free and open financial system. She is also an investor in early-stage startups with Slow Ventures. Related: All-In on DeFi: Why the Days of Centralized Exchanges Are Numbered Programmable money is the aim of many cryptocurrency protocols and the goal of many applications built on Ethereum. Because cryptocurrencies are issued, owned, traded and settled in a natively digital form, they are able to be manipulated directly by code. Escrow terms, credit events, multiparty ownership and all manner of other interactions and behaviors can be enshrined in smart contracts . Again, the goal here is to replace the old intermediated and inefficient financial system that exists today. Projects like Compound are tackling this in money markets, Cozy in risk management and Uniswap in exchange. Autonomous finance, on the other hand, does not seek to reinvent the system altogether. Rather, the aim is to build into and among the legacy infrastructure of finance, crafting middleware that enables money management to become “smart” and money movement to feel fast, even when running on old rails. Those taking this approach recognize that sometimes the most practical road to the future is actually just a patching and repaving of the asphalt. Story continues While the larger cryptocurrency ecosystem has much more revolutionary aims over the long run, the immediate goals of the programmable money crowd are very much aligned with those of autonomous finance. Plaid, which Visa has agreed to buy for $5.3 billion, is arguably the original in this category: enabling customers to make their financial data available to fintechs like neobanks, lenders and savings tools. Following Plaid, API tools have come along to tackle just about every vertical of someone’s financial life: their credit score, their payroll, their student loans, their insurance contracts. While Plaid is “read only,” many of these tools now offer read and write access, enabling fintech companies to make withdrawals and deposits from accounts programmatically . Related: Ethereum, Dark Forests and the Limits of Transparency While the larger cryptocurrency ecosystem has much more revolutionary aims over the long run, the immediate goals of the programmable money crowd are very much aligned with those of autonomous finance. We should be able to create or copy rulesets for our financial lives and let them run and optimize themselves. All of our bank accounts and financial products should be able to transact against each other without our involvement. Checking account running low and rent payment due? Your savings account should automatically cover it. Took out a loan and need to post collateral? Your brokerage account should be able to do so without even the touch of a button. Money should be self-driving. See also: Jill Carlson – What Goldman Gets Wrong About Bitcoin (From Someone Who Used to Work There) Given the overlap of goals here, it is surprising to see that these two sides – decentralized finance and fintech APIs – rarely meet. Investors in crypto could learn many lessons from those in fintech who are deep in the weeds of what is practical and realistic within the constraints of the current system. Conversely, mainstream fintech investors may find compelling opportunities within the enormous, disruptive dream of cryptocurrency. Builders, too, would benefit. Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and protocol developers might find that they are already using (and could benefit from further leveraging) the APIs and tools being developed in the world of fintech. And fintech builders may find their minds opened to larger horizons by spending a bit of time down the crypto rabbit hole.

The uptrend began in early September after buyers bought a dip below $10,000, and gathered pace in the second half of October. Last week, prices reached a high of $15,971, a level last seen in January 2018. That’s a 63% price gain in eight weeks, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Flat at $15.3K; Crypto Locked in DeFi at All-Time High Over 2018 and 2019, bitcoin often languished below $10,000, struggling to recover from a crash that followed the late 2017 surge to record highs near $20,000. So, what’s behind the rapid gains in recent weeks? Here are three of the primary factors driving the bull market: “Over the past eight weeks, we have seen various notable public companies and hedge funds enter the cryptocurrency market with sizable deployment of capital,” Matthew Dibb, co-founder, and COO of Singapore-based Stack Funds said. On Sept. 15, listed business intelligence firm MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR)announced the purchaseof $250 million worth of bitcoins, and three weeks later payments company Square (NYSE: SQ) alsodisclosed its investmentin the bitcoin market.

Also read:Institutions Take Record Bullish Bets in Bitcoin Futures, Shrugging Off Exchange Missteps The increased institutional participation likely created upward pressure on prices. Further, it buoyed broader market sentiment and likely prompted more buyers to join the market. The number of bitcoin whale entities – clusters of addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 BTC –rose to four-year highsat the end of October. Retail participation increased, too, as suggested by the “accumulation addresses” metricrising to record highs. Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, expectations for additional U.S. fiscal stimulus alongside the Federal Reserve’s ongoing inflation-boosting bond purchase programs have triggered fears of a dollar sell-off, and motivated both institutions and retailers to put at least some money into bitcoin. “The talks of further stimulus efforts has put bitcoin on the map as a quasi-safe haven, possessing many of the store-of-value qualities of gold, despite its relatively [brief] existence,” Dibb said. Also read:World’s Growing Stockpile of Negative-Yielding Debt a Positive for Bitcoin, Say Analysts Large spot buyers, mostly institutions, have created a shortfall in bitcoin liquidity, pressuring prices to the higher side. “Between Grayscale’s GBTC trust, MicroStrategy and the influx of other large spot buyers, the supply of bitcoin is beginning to look more scarce,” Dibb said. Grayscale is owned by CoinDesk’s parent firm, Digital Currency Group. Further, retail investors took direct custody of their coins by moving them from exchanges to their own wallets, adding to the drying up of sell-side liquidity. The total number of bitcoins held on cryptocurrency exchanges has fallen 9% to 2,404,788 BTC in the past two months, according toGlassnode data. The decline in exchange balances is indicative of strong holding sentiment in the market. Bitcoin’s bullish bias strengthened following the cryptocurrency’s convincing break above $12,500 in the third week of October. Back then, many analysts had pointed to $12,500 as the level to beat for the bulls. That’s because the cryptocurrency had declined sharply following a rejection near $12,500 in August. “The real resistance level is around $12,500-ish, so, until a meaningful breakout above that level, nothing is done,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer at ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk on Oct. 20. Indeed, the eventual breakout above $12,500 looks to have invited stronger chart-driven buying pressure. Bitcoin ended the third week of October above the key hurdle and remained bid in the following two weeks. Now support, at $12,500, hasn’t been tested since.

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

Celsius, a crypto loan company, tapped into the renewed bitcoin fever to raise $20 million via an equity crowdfunding in August to support its operations. Mashinsky contends that the supply is so scarce for bitcoin and demand so great that up is the only likely direction for the crypto to head over time. Judging by the action of late in bitcoin, other investors agree with Mashinskys thinking. Bitcoin prices surged beyond the $20,000 mark this week and hit fresh record highs. On Thursday, prices crept to about $23,000. Year-to-date bitcoin prices are up about 224%. Bitcoin prices have hit new records. Credit: Getty The sizable year-end move in bitcoin is giving some investors in the space a flashback to the big run-up seen in 2017. Bitcoin prices surged to $17,000 by mid December 2017, only to plunge to $3,100 or so a year later as speculators were crushed under the weight of their own greed and a raft of unfriendly news. But industry pros say this time is different because of newfound institutional demand for bitcoin. The buying, pros think, only supports the view of bitcoin as a credible alternative to fiat currencies. This month, insurance giant MassMutal unveiled a $100 million investment in bitcoin for its general investment account. PayPal continues to buy up bitcoin to support the recent launch of the capability to buy, sell and trade cryptocurrency from a PayPal account.

This decrease primarily resulted from lower sales volumes in the chemicals segment and lower biofuel selling prices driven by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the absence of an agrochemical product we no longer make. Partially offsetting this decline in the three and nine-month period was increased biofuels sales volumes. Story continues Gross profit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $984 and $11,762 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily from: i) the blenders’ tax credit (“BTC”) being in effect for the current period and not in effect in the prior year; ii) increased sales volumes of biofuels; and iii) the change in the unrealized and realized activity in derivative instruments. The change in derivatives was a gain of $867 and $322 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in derivatives had a greater impact in the nine-month comparison period with a gain of $6,789 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and a loss of $711 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Partially offsetting these increases in gross profit was the reduction in chemical sales volumes as described above. Also impacting gross profit in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was the adjustment in the carrying value of our inventory as determined utilizing the LIFO method of inventory accounting. In the three months ended September 30, 2020 this adjustment decreased gross profit $628 and increased gross profit $557 in the three months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, this adjustment increased gross profit $2,266 and $2,480, respectively. Net Income Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $268 and $25,284, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. This increase resulted primarily from biodiesel tax credits and incentives that were in effect in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 that were not in effect for 2019 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements) and tax law changes in the first nine months of 2020 not in effect for 2019. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, income was also benefited by other income from the resolution of a prior year contractual matter. Partially offsetting this increase in the nine-month period was net unrealized losses on equity securities. Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures were $3,717 in the first nine months of 2020, compared with $6,139 in the same period in 2019. FutureFuel was reimbursed for a portion of these expenditures by certain customers as summarized in the following table. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 Cash paid for capital expenditures $ 3,717 $ 6,139 Cash received from customers as reimbursement of capital expenditures $ (1,826 ) $ (4,693 ) Cash paid for capital expenditures, net of reimbursements $ 1,891 $ 1,446 Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $243,647 as of September 30, 2020, compared with $316,951 as of December 31, 2019.

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

Overall sales atApplerose 1% to $64.7 billion for the quarter ended September 30,a little better than analysts forecast. But that included weaker-than-expected iPhone sales of just $26.4 billion, down 21% from last year. Booming sales of laptops and iPads for stuck-at-home workers and students made up the difference. Profits of 73 cents per share were 3 cents better than the average analyst forecast. Apple’s stock price, which has already risen 57% so far this year, lost 5% in after-market trading. In a call with analysts, Cook and Apple CFO Luca Maestri tried to explain that the iPhone shortfall was only a temporary blip. Because COVID-19 forced some factories in Asiato shut down earlier this year, Apple’s new line of iPhones didn’t go on sale until mid-October, missing the usual mid-September debut. “We’re very bullish on this cycle,” Cook said, noting that the new iPhone 12 family is the first from Applewith 5G capabilityand many wireless carriers are making generous trade-in offers. “It is the strongest line up we’ve ever had by far…we are off to a great start.” The new $800 iPhone 12 and $1,000 iPhone 12 Pro went on sale on October 23. The $700 iPhone 12 Mini and $1,100 iPhone Pro Max will be available for pre-order on November 6, with sales starting on November 13. “We just started shipping iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro and we’re off to a great start,” CFO Luca Maestri told analysts on the call. “Given the tremendously positive response, we expect iPhone (sales) to grow during the December quarter (compared to a year ago).” Apple sold $56 billion of iPhones in the holiday quarter last year. But Apple did not give specific guidance about how much total revenue it might bring in for the holiday quarter. The company used to offer analysts a revenue range but stopped in the middle of this year, citing the complications and unpredictability of the pandemic. Cook was also asked about the possible impact on Apple fromthe Google antitrust casefiled by the Justice Department last week. The government accusedGoogleof using illegal means to expand its search ad business by paying Apple to be exclusive search provider on the iPhone. The payments constitute 15% to 20% of Apple’s annual profits, according to the lawsuit. Cook pointed to Apple’s growing revenue from a variety of other services, like Apple Music and iPhone app sales, which in theory could offset some or all of the revenue Google currently provides. “There’s a lot of room there and potential there,” Cook said. “I have no idea how the DOJ suit will go but it’s a long way from a conclusion.” • Thebest smartwatchesof 2020 • Microsoft’s cloud could be a bit foggy for the next quarter • Uber’s former CTO is mapping out growth and delivery routesin his new gig • Coinbase launchescrypto debit cardin U.S. with 1% Bitcoin reward • Bitcoin can’t help the unbanked,MastercardCEO says This story was originally featured onFortune.com... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.67%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.94%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.96%), and Polkadot (+0.42%) found early support to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.72% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $23,412 to bring the first major resistance level at $24,122 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $24,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $24,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $24,501. Failure to avoid a fall through the $23,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $23,033 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$23,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $22,323.

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

The U.S. Dollar Index is moving towards the nearest support level at 92.10. If the U.S. Dollar Index settles below this level, it will gain downside momentum and head towards the next support level at 91.75 which will be bullish for GBP/USD. Today, foreign exchange market traders will focus on flash PMI data for November. In the UK,Manufacturing PMIis expected to decrease from 53.7 to 50.5 whileServices PMIis projected to drop from 51.4 to 42.5. The projected sharp decline in Services PMI is not surprising given the negative impact of the second lockdown. In the U.S.,Manufacturing PMIis expected to decline from 53.4 to 53 whileServices PMIis projected to decrease from 56.9 to 55.3. Analysts expect that the speed of the economic rebound in the U.S. has slowed down due to surging coronavirus. GBP/USD trading dynamics will be also influenced by any Brexit news. Negotiations between EU and UK continue, and the market believes that a compromise deal will be reached. A negative surprise on this front will put serious pressure on the British pound, while successful negotiations will likely push it towards yearly highs. GBP/USD has managed to settle above the resistance at 1.3270 and is trying to move above the next resistance level at 1.3325. If this attempt is successful, GBP/USD will head towards the next resistance at 1.3400. In case GBP/USD gets above the resistance at 1.3400, it will move towards yearly highs at 1.3485. There are no important levels between 1.3400 and 1.3485 so this move may be fast. On the support side, the previous resistance at 1.3270 will likely serve as the first support level for GBP/USD. If GBP/USD manages to settle below this level, it will gain downside momentum and head towards the next support level near the 20 EMA at 1.3210.

What Happened: The investment firm analyzed the current Bitcoin rally — looking at numbers from itBit, the cryptocurrency exchange run by Paxos — the partner of PayPal. “When PayPal went live, volume started exploding. The increase in itBit volume implies that within four weeks of going live, PayPal is already buying almost 70% of the new supply of bitcoins,” wrote Pantera Capital. The investment firm said that PayPal and Square’s Cash App are already purchasing more than 100% of all newly-issued bitcoins. Pantera Capital theorizes that when other financial institutions jump on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, “supply scarcity will become even more imbalanced.” “The only way supply and demand equilibrates is at a higher price,” the investment company explained. Why It Matters: Paxos' itBit saw its trading volume surge 500% to $26.57 million in mid-November from $4.41 million a month ago, as per CoinGecko data. The 24-hour volume at press time was $23.65 million. While it took the Bitcoin community 12 years to grow to 100 million strong, PayPal has brought with it 300 million active users, noted Pantera Capital. “This rally is much more sustainable than [in] 2017. One of the main differences is the ease of investing in bitcoin now — via PayPal, Cash App, Robinhood, etc,” according to Pantera Capital. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has gained 155%, while Etereum has risen 330%. Comparatively, the S&P 500 has risen a modest 10.11% on a year-to-date basis. Paypal’s CEO Daniel Schulman said this month at the company’s third-quarter earnings call that its cryptocurrency leap is “just the beginning of the opportunities.” Price Action: Bitcoin traded 1.21% lower at $18,298.37 at press time, while Ethereum traded 3.96% higher at $566.77.

The House of Representatives voted on Monday to increase stimulus payments to qualified Americans to $2,000 from $600, sending the measure on to the Senate for a vote. Last week\'s Brexit agreement, while bare bones, also supported the outlook for global growth, lifting Asian stocks on Tuesday following Wall Street gains. "Optimism abounds, and it’s generally coming from equity markets," said Bart Wakabayashi, Tokyo Branch manager of State Street Bank and Trust. "The dollar is very heavy, and that will continue into next year." The dollar index was little changed at 90.194 in holiday-thinned trading, hovering near the 89.723 level reached on Dec. 17 for the first time since April 2018. Short positions on the dollar swelled in the week ended Dec. 21 to $26.6 billion, the highest in three months, according to Reuters\' calculations based on data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Monday. The euro rose 0.1% to $1.22260 early in the Asian session, hovering near the 2-1/2-year high of 1.22735 touched earlier this month. The dollar bought 103.740 yen, another haven asset. Sterling rose 0.1% to $1.3477 following a two-day decline. It was as high as $1.3625 this month, a level not seen since May 2018. Investors have taken profits in the UK currency following the confirmation last week of a Brexit trade deal that was widely expected. While the agreement came as a relief to investors, the pact leaves Britain far more detached from the EU, analysts say. "People are still trying to figure out what this Brexit agreement means," weighing on the pound, said State Street\'s Wakabayashi. "Nothing has really been agreed on financial markets, and that’s a big negative for the UK."

They pared gains but ended up 9.76% and 6.82% this year, respectively.\nThe dollar slipped 4.90% this year against the Japanese currency to 103.25 yen.

The startup’s trust company unit, based in South Dakota, has applied to the OCC to convert to a national bank, according to anoticedated Nov. 9 and posted to the federal regulator’s website. The notice contains little else in the way of detail, except that Anchorage is represented by Dana Syracuse of the law firm Perkins Coie. Syracuse is a former general counsel of the New York Department of Financial Services and helped that agency draft its landmark BitLicense regulation. Related:Robinhood Gearing Up for Potential IPO in Early 2021: Report This year Kraken, a crypto exchange, became the first such business toobtain a U.S. banking license, albeit a special-purpose one from Wyoming (the same kind obtained by digital asset startupAvanti). If its application is approved, Anchorage would be the first crypto company to get a national bank charter, explicitly allowing it to do business in all 50 states. A banking charter would give Anchorage the clear authority to act as a “qualified custodian” for institutional investors under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. Most crypto custody firms in the U.S. have trust company licenses, but the SECsignaledlast week that it is unsure whether such entities, regulated at the state level and less stringently than banks, make the cut as qualified custodians. Anchorage’s application also comes at a time when the OCC, an agency that has existed since the Civil War, may be unusually receptive to such requests. Brian Brooks, the acting comptroller since May, is a former chief legal officer for the Coinbase exchange and has been notably focused on clearing the way for banks to participate in the crypto market – so much so that he was recentlycriticized by lawmakersfor spending so much time on this niche during a pandemic. In July, for example, Brooks’ agencyissued a letterclearing the way for national banks to safeguard private cryptographic keys for digital currency wallets, a business that until now has been the province of specialist firms like Anchorage.

Today's Key News: ['By John McCrank NEW YORK (Reuters) - The price of Bitcoin topped $29,000 on Thursday for the first time, with the digital currency almost quadrupling in value this year amid heightened interest from investors big and small alike. The world\'s most popular cryptocurrency touched $29,300 before pulling back, most recently down 0.67% at $28,774.36. It has surged by nearly half since breaking $20,000 for the first time on Dec. 16.

Notably, bitcoin hit an new all-time high by surpassing the $24,000 mark on Dec 21.On a year-to-date basis, bitcoin has gained more than 200%. This strong bounce-back remains a major positive for companies likeJPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM,Overstock.comOSTK,MicrosoftMSFT,DocuSignDOCU andNVIDIANVDA.The companies are poised to tap in gains from this resurgence with active involvement in cryptocurrency and investments in next gen blockchain technology capabilities. Cryptocurrencies, which hold the potential to revolutionize the process of peer-to-peer and remittance transactions, are gaining strongly from the decentralized system, low fees, transparency of distributed ledger technology, protection from consumer chargebacks and quick international transfers.Blockchain-based automated system is transparent and incorruptible, and meant to provide unaltered information. Since blockchain utilizes a distributed consensus, it is difficult to tamper with the records without being noticed by an entire network. Thereby, the possibility of monetary losses is low with minimum chances of double counting and hacking.Additionally, coronavirus crisis has presented new challenges and exposed several loopholes in the current digital ecosystem. The prominent issues that have surfaced are data tracing, security, visibility and management, and supervision.Evolution of blockchain practices in a bid to address these challenges is expected to democratize the use of cryptocurrency in the days ahead and aid in countering the pandemic in an efficient way.Notably, Coherent Market Insights estimates the blockchain technology market to witness a CAGR of 58.7% between 2019 and 2027.Also, growing demand for alternative currency as a result of the ongoing pandemic remains a tailwind.These factors are driving growth in digital currency (especially bitcoin) transactions throughout the world. Per a report from Statista, the number of daily bitcoin transactions at end of third-quarter 2020 exceeded the mark of 351 million, jumping significantly from around 200 million in first-quarter 2016.Further, a report from Fortune Business Insights shows that the global cryptocurrency market is expected to hit $1.8 billion in 2027 from $754 million in 2019 by witnessing a CAGR of 11.2%Here we discuss these five stocks, which have strong fundamentals that poise them well to capitalize on the bitcoin wave. NVIDIAis poised to gain from growing momentum of its GPUs in the cryptocurrency space, which provides the company with a strong competitive edge against other chipmakers.In third-quarter fiscal 2021, this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company experienced solid traction among the ethereum, monero and zcash miners. Reportedly, NVIDIA’s GPU sales to crypto-miners were around $175 million. You can seethe complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.Further, the new Ampere GPU chips of the company are well-designed to meet requirements of the upcoming advanced cryptocurrencies.We believe that expanding presence of NVIDIA in the booming cryptocurrency market is likely to contribute well to the stock’s performance in the near term.JPMorgan Chase & Co. is poised to capitalize on gains stemming from the bullish sentiments toward bitcoin with commercial use of its blockchain technology based planned dollar-backed cryptocurrency — JPM Coin — which will be helpful in handling digital settlements.Per a CNBC article, JPMorgan, with Zacks Rank of 2, is looking to monetize its crypto efforts and has created a new business unit called Onyx, with more than 100 dedicated staff members, to focus on its blockchain and digital currency efforts.Overstock.comis riding on strong demand for digital assets, backed by its Medici Ventures and tZERO businesses, and has strengthened presence in the lucrative blockchain-technology space.Notably, tZERO technology business is focused on democratizing access to private capital markets. The tZERO ATS, a subsidiary of tZERO, traded over 2.3 million digital securities in August 2020, marking a 21x increase on a year-over-year basis.Moreover, the tZERO Crypto app, which is independently managed by tZERO’s subsidiary, tZERO Crypto, Inc., is witnessing robust growth in user base, which is a tailwind for this Zacks Rank #2 company.Moreover, tZERO has attained Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) clearance to offer retail-brokerage services for digital securities through its tZERO Markets. FINRA’s approval will enable tZERO Markets to offer issuers with investment banking and placement-agent services in connection with capital-raising activities.Microsoftis focusing on developing advanced Azure-powered blockchain solutions in decentralized identity space.The company’s fully managed Azure Blockchain Service, which accelerates development of robust blockchain-enabled smart contract applications, holds promise. The flexibility in usage and Azure’s secure broad-based availability are anticipated to bolster adoption of the service.The tech giant has also joined Hyperledger community and entered into a partnership with JPMorgan to develop Ethereum-based open source blockchain platform, Quorum. Markedly, JPMorgan divested Quorum to ConsenSys per a strategic investment deal in August, this year.Moreover, the acquisition of GitHub, touted to be the largest open-source repository, provides Microsoft ample exposure to development of robust blockchain tools.The beta version of the tech giant’s bitcoin-backed decentralized identity tool — ION — went live in early June on mainnet. The tool is aimed at fast-tracking of data, which can be utilized by anyone to improve the reach of the coronavirus crisis response programs.The above factors are likely to provide an edge to this Zacks Rank #2 stock over cloud rivals including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Alibaba Cloud, which are also eyeing the blockchain-as-a-service market.DocuSignis a popular name for authenticating documents over the Internet through electronic signature. The stock, with Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold), leverages blockchain technology to enable customers adapt to smart tech and make paper agreements digital.The company’s Trust Service Provider model helps users to integrate any blockchain-based identity providers and enhance security while authenticating a signer.Notably, per ResearchAndMarkets data, the blockchain identity management market is set to hit $1.93 billion by 2023 from $90.4 million in 2018 at a CAGR of 84.5%.

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

Today's Key News: ['You can’t blame Americans for being eager to receive their stimulus money: With a weakening economic recovery and an out-of-control pandemic, the direct payments includedin the $900 billion stimulus package signed into law by President Donald Trump on Dec. 20are literally a lifeline for millions of Americans.\nThat $900 billion economic aid package set aside money to send most Americans a $600 stimulus check—down from the $1,200 checks sent by the CARES Act passed in March and less than the $2,000 sought by Congressional Democrats and later, President Trump. The bill also brings back weekly enhanced federal unemployment benefits for the more than19 million Americans still on unemployment benefit rolls.These enhanced benefits will pay out $300 per week, on top of state benefits, for up to 11 weeks.\nWe know the aid is coming, but when? Here isFortune‘s guide.\nAmericans started to receive their $1,200 stimulus checks two weeks after the signing of the CARES Act in March. But this go-around, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sped up the process andstarted to deposit $600 checks on Tuesday—just nine days after Trump signed the bill into law.\nTaxpayers\xa0who have their\xa0direct deposit information on file with the IRS will receive their payments by direct deposit.The IRS started sending those direct deposits on Tuesday, and will continue to send those through next week.\nThe rest of eligible Americans and resident aliens will receive their checks by mail.

That $900 billion economic aid package set aside money to send most Americans a $600 stimulus check—down from the $1,200 checks sent by the CARES Act passed in March and less than the $2,000 sought by Congressional Democrats and later, President Trump. The bill also brings back weekly enhanced federal unemployment benefits for the more than 19 million Americans still on unemployment benefit rolls. These enhanced benefits will pay out $300 per week, on top of state benefits, for up to 11 weeks. We know the aid is coming, but when? Here is Fortune ‘s guide. When to expect your $600 stimulus check Americans started to receive their $1,200 stimulus checks two weeks after the signing of the CARES Act in March.

Taxpayers\xa0who have their\xa0direct deposit information on file with the IRS will receive their payments by direct deposit.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $29,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $13,787 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. Polkadot slid by 11.83% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.80%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.44%), and Ethereum (-0.94%) also struggled. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

In terms of blockchain and crypto, we saw several key developments: the halving of Bitcoin, liquidity mining and the explosive growth of several decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, stronger tools for blockchain interoperability and much more. As 2021 begins and the globe slowly eases its way out of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated market fluctuations, I look forward to seeing even more growth in the innovation, widespread use and diverse impacts of blockchain technologies. The space is becoming simultaneously more complex and more accessible, broadening the horizons for what the crypto community can achieve in building decentralized, user-first financial systems. This post is part of CoinDesk’s 2020 Year in Review – a collection of op-eds, essays and interviews about the year in crypto and beyond. Paul Veradittakit is a partner at Pantera Capital. On last year’s predictions Related: Here Comes the Open Lending Era Here is a review of my predictions from last y ear . Along with a summary of how that space or trend fared in 2020, I’ve included an accuracy rating to assess how well the prediction held up, with one being least accurate and five being most accurate. See also: Pantera Partner Paul Veradittakit’s Crypto Predictions for 2020 We’re reaching some significant inflection points in areas from retail adoption, to nationalized digital currencies, to faster blockchain technologies Diem (formerly Libra)/Novi (formerly Calibra) Given Diem’s eventful (in the regulatory sense) public reveal in 2019, I expected 2020 to be an equally exciting year for Facebook’s project in terms of developing a reputation, fighting key regulatory battles and beginning to build up adoption. On the contrary, Diem’s launch was delayed and it stayed predominantly under the public radar throughout 2020. Related: Camila Russo on Building The Defiant and the Future of DeFi Story continues In April, the association announced it would make key modifications to its architecture to address some of the main regulatory concerns brought against it. The governing association also renamed the project from Libra to Diem, and the wallet was renamed from Calibra to Novi. Most recently, key individuals in the initiative claimed that the platform could launch as early as January 2021. Even if Diem didn’t catch the public eye as much in 2020, it definitely made some key developments behind the scenes. Additionally, with the groundbreaking federal antitrust lawsuit against Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, the project is likely to get significantly more attention in the months ahead. Bitcoin halving Bitcoin’s halving from a block reward of 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC in May of this year certainly garnered a lot of widespread attention, but the exact effect of the halving event on the price of bitcoin is still ambiguous. There was a muted reaction to the halving event: A few days after, the price even dropped a little. Some experts proposed the halving had been “priced in” in the months leading up to it. In other words, because investors expected bitcoin’s price to appreciate the price naturally inflated before the halving event, making the exact change following the event less noticeable. Even if not immediate, the halving certainly had a major effect on the long-term outlook for bitcoin and the macro narrative that has since dominated the dialogue with traditional investors on bitcoin’s potential. See also: Bitcoin Halving, Explained Gaming Unfortunately, in 2020 we didn’t see that many new developments in the blockchain space for gaming, and certainly not many public facing launches. Many game developers still face a great deal of technical friction in terms of building on chain, due to its complexity and often slow runtime. Still, the interest in the concept has not subsided. Many game creators are exploring how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be used as valuable digital assets in games. Several studios, including Pixelmatic, Ubisoft and Atari have all claimed that blockchain technologies could play important roles in their games in the future, and are beginning to actively explore the concept. As of today, one of the most promising and well-known blockchain games is The Sandbox , a game kind of like Minecraft where users can monetize digital assets via the blockchain. The Sandbox has already announced partnerships with major game developers including Atari and Square Enix. DeFi growth If nothing else, 2020 was the year of DeFi. One of the biggest trends of the year, undoubtedly, was liquidity mining. To keep it simple, liquidity mining is essentially where users supply their own assets as liquidity to a protocol in exchange for a protocol’s governance token. Over time, due to lots of interest, this governance token increases in value, often generating immense returns for liquidity-supplying users and incentivizing them to keep supporting the DeFi protocol. This year governance tokens for Compound, Balancer, Yearn.Finance and many more launched and exploded in value. Further, the value generated for these platforms’ liquidity suppliers was around 100%-200% APR. In January, a grand total of $1 billion was locked into DeFi platforms collectively. In August, it peaked at US $15 billion . Interestingly, MakerDAO continues to be the platform with the most value locked in, though that first-place position was usurped several times over the year by Compound and other platforms. Users are beginning to reap the benefits of a decentralized, community-owned financial system. We’ll likely see this excitement and rapid growth continue through 2021. Central bank currencies The COVID-19 pandemic had, and is continuing to have, a massive economic impact on several of the world’s largest economies. It has also raised some serious doubt about the government’s competence and intentions in its economic policy and highlighted some key concerns and difficulties with the efficiency of our existing economic system. While we may have not seen any significant launches in central bank digital currencies (CBDC) in 2020, the space definitely saw a lot more interest as more governments, banks and research institutions explore how crypto can enhance our financial system. China’s central bank is working on a digital currency pilot, which has seen over 4 million transactions and 2 billion yuan in gross volume. In October, several financial institutions including the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve collectively published a report outlining the key features necessary in a successful, feasible CBDC. The Federal Reserve also has been actively working towards the development of a digital dollar . See also: Marcelo Prates – Central Banks Had to Up Their Money Game This Year – And They Did Infrastructure and Web 3.0 This year saw the launches and announcements of several key infrastructural projects within the blockchain space that will enable a great diversity of decentralized applications in the future. One of the year’s largest was the public launch of the Alchemy API , which positions itself as the AWS of blockchain. It’s building infrastructure that makes it simple to manage and build on top of Ethereum nodes and currently powering $7.5 billion in on-chain transactions annually. Other Web 3.0 infrastructure tools include the Keep protocol , which provides developers with off-chain storage for dapps; API3 , which works with the API ecosystem to build blockchain-native oracles and bring the massive returns of DeFi and dapps to API providers; and the Oasis Protocol , which builds blockchain-enabled tools to help developers securely analyze data and guarantee user privacy. Given the generally growing interest in decentralized applications overall, I hope to see more developers take advantage of these technologies to reduce the complexity of building dapps and expanding their use cases. Regulatory hurdles In general, throughout 2020 we saw less public attention and debate on regulating crypto, likely because government financial institutions were likely focused on other areas (rightly so), due to the implications of the pandemic. However, several government agencies made key regulatory actions throughout 2020 that demonstrate how they are thinking more seriously about cryptocurrency and the role it plays in the modern American economy. In 2020 , the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged crypto firms roughly $40 million in penalties, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) charged crypto firms roughly $9 million in penalties, an all-time high for the latter. Most of these sanctions and penalties are targeted around initial coin offerings (ICOs) and gray areas around whether certain tokens should be deemed securities or commodities. Some of the most prominent developments from this year include the SEC’s proposed safe harbor for crypto entrepreneurs, the CFTC’s case against Abra for selling security-based swaps to investors without listing them on a recognized national exchange and the CFTC’s case against BitMex for offering illicit crypto services to their users. Looking ahead Here are seven areas where I expect to see lots of promising innovation and growth throughout 2021. Bitcoin will continue to grow immensely in value and popularity, as the original flagship cryptocurrency. Bitcoin started the year hovering at a price of $7,000 and climbed to fresh all-time highs above $23,000. Payment giants like PayPal and Square are making it easy for everyday users to purchase bitcoin and institutional investors are showing more interest than ever. Following a 90% growth in price in 2019 and a whopping 170% growth in price in 2020, I look forward to seeing bitcoin grow in value even more and become more widely used. Governments will be exploring central bank digital currencies more seriously, and we may see a launch in 2021.

Following on from a 1.42% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $32,183.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $29,000.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $28,837, Bitcoin rallied to an early evening intraday high $33,292.0. The day-long rally saw Bitcoin break through the day’s major resistance levels to hit a new swing hi and all-time high before easing back. In spite of a pullback to $32,100 levels, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the third major resistance level at $31,036. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $33,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $15,190 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 7.16% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin and Litecoin rallied by 10.53% and by 8.38% to lead the way, with Ethereum rising by 6.06%. Binance Coin (+1.18%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.55%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.31%), Chainlink (+2.85%), Polkadot (+1.43%) and saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before surging to a Saturday high $866.00bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $830.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Saturday high 72.92%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 72.62. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.82% to $32,447.9. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $31,975.0 before rising to a high $32,501.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (+0.28%), Ethereum (+0.50%), and Litecoin (+0.54%) joined Bitcoin in the green, with Bitcoin Cash SV flat. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 7.52% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,492 to bring the first major resistance level at $33,983 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $33,292.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $34,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $36,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $35,784. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,492 pivot would bring the first major support level at $29,691 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$29,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $27,200.

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

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

Ethereum and Polkadot surged by 43.3% and by 56.8% respectively to lead the way. Binance Coin (+23.0%), Cardano’s ADA (+33.7%), Chainlink (+12.9%), and Litecoin (+26.5%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV (+5.8%) and Crypto.com Coin (+3.5%) trailed the front runners with modest gains. Ripple’s XRP fell by 20.6%, however, to buck the trend in the week. In the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before rising to a Sunday high $924.85bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $867.05bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Sunday high 73.63%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 70.14%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.90% to $32,671.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $33,054.4 before falling to a low $32.352.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.37%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.73%), Chainlink (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.31%) found early support to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 2.62% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $33,272 to bring the first major resistance level at $34,569 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $34,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $34,873.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,170. Failure to move through the $36,272 pivot would bring the first major support level at $31,671 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$31,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $30,374.

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

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

While U.S. legislators have failed to reach agreement on fresh relief for a pandemic-hit U.S. economy, there were early signs that a $908 billion bipartisan proposal could be gaining traction. Investors expect lawmakers to reach a deal eventually with the two parties also facing a Dec. 11 deadline to pass a $1.4 trillion budget or risk a shutdown of the government. Britain on Wednesday approved a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech and said it would start vaccinating those most at risk early next week. "Britain is starting vaccination and the U.S. is also expected to do so in coming weeks while coronavirus infections appeared to have peaked in Europe and the same could be said for the U.S. as well," said Yujiro Goto, chief strategist at Nomura Securities. "All of these are easing worries about the economic recovery losing steam." That optimism more than offset disappointing U.S. jobs numbers for November and helped boost the euro despite widespread expectations the European Central Bank will enhance its quantitative easing next week. The common currency ticked up slightly to $1.2119, touching its loftiest level since late April 2018. The dollar index slipped to 2 1/2-year low of 90.948 and last stood at 90.992. "On the whole, the new U.S. economic team under President Biden will be dovish, if not directly pursing a weaker dollar per se," said Daisuke Uno, chief strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Bank. "The next target for the euro should be its February 2018 peak of $1.2555. When the ECB eases its policy next week as expected, I bet the euro will gain rather than fall," he added. Story continues The U.S. currency was on the back foot against most other currencies, apart from the safe-haven yen, against which the dollar held firmer at 104.47 yen. The Australian dollar traded at $0.7409, having hit a 26-month high in the previous session after data showed Australia's economy rebounded more than expected in the third quarter. The offshore Chinese yuan changed hands at 6.5478 per dollar , near its 2-1/2-year high touched last month, maintaining strength on expectations a Biden White House would be more conducive for China's economic growth. The British pound held near a three-month high, last traded flat at $1.3387 after a choppy Wednesday trade as markets looked to whether Britain and the European Union can clinch a trade deal. The negotiators may have enough progress to agree on a deal in the next few days, the BBC's political editor said, giving the pound a slight lift. The EU's chief Brexit negotiator told member states' envoys on Wednesday negotiations were reaching "a make-or-break moment", and they urged him not to be rushed into an unsatisfactory agreement. Four diplomats told Reuters after a briefing by Michel Barnier the talks remained snagged on fishing rights in British waters, ensuring fair competition guarantees and ways to solve future disputes. As traders also brace for a make-or-break moment, the pound's implied volatilities have risen. Both the overnight and one-month volatilities have hit one-month highs, an indication investors expect choppy trade. Bitcoin dipped 1.0% to $19,043, but stayed near its record high of $19,918 hit earlier this week.

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

This is obviously your risk tolerance. Put only what you can lose. Personally I only put around 5% of my entire portfolio in crypto.

But if it falls to nearly worthless, then it’s only 5% of my portfolio so I won’t have trouble sleeping.\n\nWe make mistakes because we make no plans.

The second-largest blockchain’s native cryptocurrency, ether (ETH), is up 266% this year – twice as much as mooning bitcoin (BTC). But a lot of savvy digital-asset investors are hedging their bets, buying tokens associated with upstart blockchains that could potentially grab market share from the Ethereum network, often referred to as a “world computer” due to its versatility and programmability.

Wood wrote the original project white paper for Polkadot in 2016, just a year after the Ethereum network launched. Since going live in mid-August on exchanges after the Polkadot network performed a 100:1 split, the dot token is up over 44%.

The top cryptocurrency by market value rose to fresh 33-month highs above $17,000 during the early U.S. trading hours. Prices are up 20% this month alone. Bitcoin has been characterized by some investors as “digital gold” due to a belief the cryptocurrency can serve as an effective hedge against inflation. But in recent weeks, bitcoin prices have gained as gold has struggled, following the news that two drugmakers, Pfizer and Moderna, had announced promising results in developing coronavirus vaccines. The possibility that a vaccine might arrive early next year, helping the global economy to return toward pre-pandemic output levels sooner than expected, has triggered a rotation of money out of defensive assets and into risk assets, according to Ole Hansen, head of the commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. Bitcoin, however, has stayed bid on strong holding sentiment and the supply shortage. “Since bitcoin was at $11,400 a month ago, miners have been selling an average of 11 bitcoins per hour on exchanges. In comparison, 214 coins per hour have been scooped off exchanges,” Willy Woo, an on-chain analyst and the author of The Bitcoin Forecast newsletter, tweeted early Tuesday. With the global stockpile of negative yielding bonds at record highs and the U.S. dollar expected to depreciate on coronavirus vaccine optimism and continued money printing by the Federal Reserve, the odds appear stacked in favor of a rally to record highs above $20,000.

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

TRON now supports the world's largest distributed network for entertainment, gaming, trading, and file sharing. Throughout 2020, records were broken and milestones met as the TRON network expanded, onboarding millions of new users and entering new verticals including defi. More than 1.3 billion transactions have now been made on the TRON network and over 16 million wallets created. In 2020, TRON-based dApps also broke new records, and currently average over 100,000 daily active users. 1,400 dApps have now been created on the TRON network, with a daily transaction volume of over $12 million. "2020 was the year when crypto went mainstream, and TRON played a pivotal role in integrating blockchain technology into the everyday life of billions" said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent, reflecting on a bumper year for the decentralized network."Through products such as JustSwap, BTFS, Steemit, and DLive, TRON is bringing the benefits of crypto to a global audience, enabling P2P payments, file-sharing, trading, and much more." TRON highlights in 2020 include the following: • On February 14, TRON revealed that it had acquired Steemit Inc, the blockchain micro-blogging network. • In April, TRON saw the fruition of their Samsung partnership as the Exclusive TRON section launched on the Samsung play store. • In May, the JST token sale on Poloniex sold out in under five minutes before climbing to 20x its listing price and being added to leading exchanges Binance, Huobi, and OKEx. • On May 30, BitTorrent File System (BTFS) went live, forming the world's largest P2P storage network with 100 million user-controlled nodes and 1,000 TRON full nodes. • In July, TRX and JST were integrated into 13,000 ATMs via the MeconCash crypto payment platform. • In August, TRON partnered with Waves to provide interoperability between the two networks, using the Gravity protocol to make TRC20 tokens compatible with Waves. • On August 13, BitTorrent File System became the official decentralized storage platform for JUST token, after it was revealed that BitTorrent's software had been installed by 2 billion users worldwide. • Also in August, decentralized TRON exchange JustSwap launched, facilitating trustless trading of TRC20 assets. More than half a million people watched Justin Sun livestream the launch and in its first 24 hours, JustSwap facilitated $100M in trades. • JustSwap was followed by the integration of Mooniswap, from 1inch exchange, into the TRON ecosystem, to be followed by the launch of the JUST stablecoin platform and yield farming. • In September, TRON partnered with Band Protocol to obtain decentralized oracles and price feeds for dApp developers. In the same month, BitTorrent Token (BTT) was issued as a TRC20 token, allowing it to be used as collateral within the JUST ecosystem for collateralization. • In September, TRON also partnered with BitGo to deliver wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) and wrapped ether as TRC20 tokens, giving users the ability to buy and sell BTC and ETH in TRON's low-fee environment. • In October BitTorrent acquired DLive the second largest live streaming platform in Turkey and unified all BitTorrent related products and services under BitTorrent X which will be powered by BTT • On October 30th TRON also launched TRON's first Blockchain Oracle JustLink. • As of December 2020 a record $6.4 billion of Tether (USDT) now exists on the TRON blockchain, as the total market cap for stablecoins across all networks reached $25 billion. • At the start of December, TRON partnered with Huawei to add the BitTorrent app to the smartphone manufacturer's AppGallery store, making the file-sharing network accessible on up to three billion devices. • In December, TRON's first borrow lending platform JustLend went live. In 2020 TRON brought decentralization one step closer to the masses. From sharing revolutionary ideas with Warren Buffet and Steve Wozniak, to establishing a brand new DeFi ecosystem, expanding the functions of BitTorrent's denctralized storage and forging industry transforming partnerships TRON has continued to grow into one of the most active protocols in the industry. This year TRON has seen a string of prestigious partnerships beginning with a record $6.4 billionTether (USDT) on the TRON blockchain. This was followed by strategic partnerships with BitGo to launch WBTC and Wrapped Ether as TRC20 tokens on TRON. They have also partnered with Ampleforth to launch AMPL on the TRON blockchain. In 2021 TRON is going to be focused on growing and scaling their new DeFi infrastructure and expanding the functionalities of BTFS, TRON's decentralized storage ecosystem. With a host of DeFi products TRON's DeFi scheme will use JST as a foundation to integrate decentralized oracle borrow, lending, exchange, and other financial services. JST is set to evolve into a source of empowerment and become the essential token of the entire TRON DeFi ecosystem. TRON's position in DeFi illustrates the evolution of TRON, from achieving smaller victories, to being a sector leader and innovator. About TRON TRON is dedicated to building the infrastructure for a truly decentralized Internet. The TRON protocol, one of the largest blockchain-based operating systems in the world, offers high-scalability, high-availability, and high-throughput support that serves as the foundation for all decentralized applications in the TRON ecosystem.

(Reporting by Imani Moise; Editing by Sam Holmes)', "It took me a little more than a year to get cynical. In December, 2019 I implored against the inherent cynicism of so thoroughly anticipating baseball to behave like a cold-hearted business that you barely bother to wish it wouldn\x92t. Save some earnest outrage \x97 the kind that\x92s only possible if you get your hopes up \x97 for owners who aren\x92t trying, I reasoned. Otherwise you\x92re just giving them preemptive cover not to. After all, fans didn\x92t force billionaires to buy sports franchises when Bitcoin or Google stocks or whatever else are right there. Even if it becomes expected to treat a public-facing facet of community culture like an investment in your portfolio, it still shouldn\x92t be accepted. Two months later, the Boston Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers , who would go on to win a World Series in his first year in L.A. (in between some other stuff happening). As promised, I was furious . Betts, a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, was shipped out of the city he brought a ring to for the sake of getting the Sox under the competitive balance tax threshold, and because we accept as incontrovertible that teams should expect more return on investment for a talented player than simply his talent on the field in the years that they pay him. In short, it was about saving money instead of building a better baseball team. That wasn\x92t new at the time but it seemed worth spelling out, excoriating the central figure (John Henry) and questioning why he had even bothered to buy the baseball team. The Mookie Betts trade of this offseason just happened: After telegraphing that they would prioritize financial flexibility over the face of their franchise for years (again, a kind of critique that eventually functions as an excuse if you repeat it enough), Cleveland traded shortstop Francisco Lindor and veteran starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to the Mets in exchange for infielders Amed Rosario and Andrés Giménez and a couple of prospects . Story continues The fact that a team would willingly trade Francisco Lindor is a sign of baseball's rot. (AP Photo/Aaron Doster) Carrasco is a beloved starter with a track record of success that bolsters the back end of a top-heavy Mets rotation. Lindor, just like Betts had been, is a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, and the Mets will likely look to extend him before he ever becomes a free agent . And the return to Cleveland? I\x92m sure it was the best their front office could find after abdicating the obvious leverage of making it seem like you even want to keep a perennial All-Star in his prime. On one hand, the analysis is easy: No one thinks this is anything other than a salary dump for Cleveland, which is left with the lowest projected payroll in baseball . On the other hand, the analysis is becoming unnecessary: Color me cynical because I\x92m running out of ways or will to complain that baseball owners don\x92t treat the game with the same enthusiasm, affection, effort, or even interest as a casual fan, let alone a participant. It\x92s hard to find something new to say because what\x92s the point of parsing the symptoms when the disease itself has already been diagnosed? Smarter people than I have written incisive takedowns of a system that\x92s doing exactly what it\x92s supposed to : Namely, enrich the owners with little risk. The past few years have been nothing if not a repetitive, eye-opening testament to how owners would rather profit than win \x97 and while not mutually exclusive, those endgames are increasingly divorced from each other. That Cleveland would trade Lindor \x97 and the Tampa Bay Rays would trade Blake Snell , and the Chicago Cubs would trade Yu Darvish \x97 is proof of that. But if no one\x92s denying it \x97 at least not credibly \x97 what\x92s the fun in amassing evidence? For a while, I said there were no bad trades in baseball. Not that there never had been or that any hypothetical trade would be a good one, but rather to define the stretch of time in which all front offices were equally saber Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

And are stocks a good choice for every type of investor? What might seem like a good investment for you might be too risky — or too safe — for someone else. Your Money: 3 Toxic Investments You Should Avoid In general, the most conservative investments offer the lowest returns but protect your initial investment. As you move up the risk ladder you take on greater price volatility in exchange for potentially higher long-term returns. Cash investments are the least risky, followed by bonds and stocks. Not sure where to invest right now? Here’s how the experts say you should invest your money amid the pandemic . Last updated: Dec. 30, 2020 RgStudio / Getty Images Smart Beta Minimum Volatility Funds Safe or Risky: High-risk, high-reward Smart beta funds attempt to use various investment factors that have been proved to enhance long-term returns. Low volatility funds are a subset of smart beta funds that aim to reduce risk by investing in lower-volatility securities. Although these funds cannot eliminate risk, their investment mandate is to at least smooth out the ride. This can make investing in the market less stressful during the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus. THINK A / Shutterstock.com International Stock Funds Safe or Risky: High-risk, high-reward The United States comprises approximately 44% of the world’s stock market capitalization, so it’s always been a good idea to diversify into international stock funds. In any given year, the U.S. might or might not be the country with the highest stock market returns, so diversifying your exposure makes sense. This is particularly true during periods of uncertainty. U.S. and global stocks experience different economic and market forces, even during the current global emergency, so owning international stock funds leads to lower portfolio volatility and higher, risk-adjusted returns. Story continues ©Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock.com Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Safe or Risky: High-risk, high-reward Real estate investment trusts enable small investors to own a piece of the real estate pie. A REIT is a firm that owns or finances income-producing real estate. Similar to mutual funds, REITs offer investors regular income streams, diversification and the potential for long-term capital appreciation. During the outset of the coronavirus crisis, many REITs got pummeled as the world essentially shut down and the revenue stream for these companies dried up. Once the crisis is resolved, however, the REITs that are in a stronger financial position could end up appreciating significantly, in addition to maintaining their dividends. Still, this amounts to a risky bet, as no one is certain how long this crisis will last. Luke Lloyd, wealth advisor and investment strategist at Strategic Wealth Partners , recommends investing in data center REITs. “Commercial real estate could take a hit given the current mentality of ‘work from home’ and the need for less office space,” he said. “However, there could be opportunities in data center REITs that house the infrastructure buildout of the technology sector. These data centers house the servers and technology that support the cloud network companies operate on.” NoSystem images / Getty Images Robo-Advisor Investment Manager Safe or Risky: Variable depending on manager and investments Robo-advisor accounts automatically manage your investments in line with your risk tolerance and goals. Vanguard, Schwab and independent shops — including Personal Capital, Wealthfront, SigFig and Betterment — offer a variety of robo-advisor accounts and services. Robo-companies create diversified portfolios with low account management fees, and some offer access to a human investment advisor. Most robo-advisor accounts include easy-to-use investment apps. During times of market uncertainty, a robo-advisor can be a good option because it takes emotion out of the investing equation. Rather than trying to manage your own portfolio, agonizing over the large losses and wondering if you should buy or sell, a robo-advisor will keep you to your predetermined investment plan. Find Out: How To Protect Your Retirement Savings During the Coronavirus Pandemic Geber86 / Getty Images US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Safe or Risky: Safe U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, are safe in that they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. You can buy individual Treasury inflation-protected bonds on the Treasury Direct website or in a low-fee mutual or exchange-traded fund. TIPS protect your cash from inflation. While you won’t have to worry about losing your principal, you might not get much by way of a return. Inflation is likely to be held in check throughout the coronavirus crisis, as falling demand overall is likely to more than offset the temporary price spikes in certain goods. This dampens the inflation-protection element of these bonds, as inflation is unlikely to rise dramatically, thereby lowering overall return. wastesoul / Getty Images/iStockphoto Municipal Bond Funds Safe or Risky: Safe, but riskier than usual Generally, municipal bonds’ interest payments are tax-free on the federal level, and if they’re issued by your state, you won’t have to pay state taxes. Municipal bonds are traditionally a safe haven for investors, but in the current market environment, they might be riskier than usual. With rampant unemployment and the shutdown of almost every aspect of American life, the credit quality of these bonds could take a significant hit. This is particularly true of revenue bonds, which rely on consumers using their services to pay the interest on the bonds. One way to diminish this risk is to buy insured municipal bonds only — although in that case, you’re relying on the solvency of the underlying insurers as well. SDI Productions / Getty Images 529 College Savings Plan Safe or Risky: Varies based on chosen investments A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings vehicle designed to help you save for college for a child or family member. Also known as a qualified tuition plan, 529s are sponsored by states, state agencies and educational institutions. You can choose from a variety of stock, bond and cash investments in your 529 account. Although the investments in these accounts are likely to remain volatile for the foreseeable future, 529 plans are generally long-term investments. If your child has 10 or more years before the money will be needed for college, you’ve got a long runway to earn back any losses and then some. Regular investments in these plans during volatile market times actually can add to your long-term returns over time, as markets historically recover from major sell-offs. Tips: Investing ‘Rules’ You Shouldn’t Follow MicroStockHub / Getty Images/iStockphoto Global Bond Funds Safe or Risky: Moderate Investing in a foreign country’s debt can increase your returns and diversify your investment portfolio. When you invest in global bond funds, however, you take on additional risk. All bond funds carry interest rate risk, which is the risk that your value decreases as interest rates rise. Global bond funds also might carry currency risk unless they are hedged. In these uncertain times, global bonds also have additional country and political risk, as the economic devastation wreaked by the global shutdown is hard to quantify on a country-by-country basis. agrobacter / Getty Images Certificates of Deposit Safe or Risky: Safe Certificates of deposit offer a fixed rate of interest on your investment for a predetermined period of time. CDs also have the benefit of Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. guarantees of up to $250,000 per account. This can provide peace of mind in troubled times, such as during the current pandemic. If you can afford the initial investment, Juan Carlos Cruz, founder of Britewater Financial Group in Brooklyn, New York, said he recommends investing in high-yield CDs, which typically offer higher rates than a standard CD. “The HYCD works just like a regular CD, but may require a higher balance than other CDs and to hold for a longer period of time,” he said. “Please do your research and check with your local bank for the minimum deposit for this type of account.” CD laddering is a smart strategy that enables you to take advantage of regular investments to garner the best yields, regardless of whether rates are rising or falling going forward. For example, if you have $10,000 to invest, you might spread that out by investing $2,000 each in a 12-, 24-, 36-, 48- and 60-month CD. Look online for promotional CD rates to get the most bang for your buck. bernardbodo / Getty Images/iStockphoto Broad-Based US Bond Funds Safe or Risky: Moderate A diversified bond fund such as the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (ticker: AGG) or a mutual bond fund like the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Investor Shares (ticker: VBMFX) can provide you with great exposure to the U.S. investment-grade bond market. Both funds spread your investments out among corporate bonds and U.S. government bonds with various maturities. The risk you take when you invest in anything but the shortest-term bond funds is that when interest rates rise, the underlying principal value is likely to fall. As interest rates are at historic lows, if rates rise in the future, you could lose some of your principal.

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

According to Jones, with the private economy total economic output at $20 trillion — compared to the federal government's $4.5 trillion in spending and private philanthropy's $400 billion — it makes the private sector the best place to tackle inequality. In 2013, along with a handful of others, the CIO of Tudor Investment Corp. and co-founder of Robin Hood created JUST Capital , a non-profit with a mission of promoting economic justice. Every year, the organization polls the American public about what matters to them in promoting corporate justice. And each year, the top response is, "Do you pay a fair living wage? Do you pay someone a wage that allows them with a partner to raise a child and not struggle, but thrive, not strive, but thrive?" Jones told Yahoo Finance in a recent interview. "So I think we've labored under this. I think it's a false god and false belief that we have to pay low wages in order for companies to survive and to prosper,” Jones added. According to the investor, raising the wage level for workers is could make it so "the whole pie gets bigger, and that we have the same level of profitability for companies, but we have a much stronger and more productive economy than what we have now." Right now, across 20 million workers for the 1,000 largest companies in the U.S., half of those employees do not make an income, combined with their partner working part-time, to provide a living wage for a family of three. "Again, I don't think that's really what the American Dream's about,” Jones added. A member of 'MoveOn' holds up a poster during a protest in front of McDonald's restaurant in Times Square, New York, December 4, 2013. MoveOn members will be protesting at McDonald's locations in five cities - Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, and delivering a petition started by "Low Pay is Not Okay". The petition, which is addressed to McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, and Subway, and has the support of nearly 50,000 MoveOn members, demands a $15/hour living wage for all fast food workers. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz (UNITED STATES - Tags: CIVIL UNREST FOOD SOCIETY TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY) JUST Capital launched a Worker Financial Wellness Initiative that encourages companies to audit how many employees live below a living wage. It then allocate revenues toward those workers before rewarding shareholders. Otherwise, it's taxpayers who provide the subsidies, while companies pay low wages to maximize profitability at the benefit of shareholders. Story continues Jones said every corporate board and shareholder has "an important moral question" to ask. "So I think the first most important thing is for everyone to know how many of your employees don't make a living wage. And then what's your responsibility to them along those lines?” the investor asked. “I think it's a great question for every board, every person in senior management — 'Aren't our workers who are actually allowing us to provide these products and services —aren't they the most important lifeblood?'" Jones added. Julia La Roche is a correspondent for Yahoo Finance. Follow her on Twitter .

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 0.82% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 2.85% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $40,168.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $40,915.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $38,700.0. Steering clear of the first major resistance level at $37,386, Bitcoin rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $41,399.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $42,800, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$40,000 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin moved back through to $40,000 levels to reduce the deficit on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $41,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV surged by 61.14% to lead the pack, with Chainlink rallying by 15.41%. Cardano’s ADA (+8.99%), Ethereum (+5.27%), and Polkadot (+5.97%) also made solid gains. Binance Coin (+3.71%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.40%), Litecoin (+3.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.36%) trailed the front runners.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-6.14%) and Polkadot (-0.34%) saw red early on to buck the trend.

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

What Happened:Yearn Finance (YFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) coin, gained 15.93% in the 7-day period leading up to press time — beating Bitcoin’s gains of 14.48%. Yearn Finance, launched in February, is an aggregator service for investors and allows DeFi investing and yield farming. YFI gained 4.76% in a 24-hour period reaching $21,513.89, nearly rivaling the 5.77% gains made by Bitcoin. The DeFi cryptocurrency had reached $41,382.98 on Sept. 14 before plunging as low as $9,014.91 on Nov. 6. YFI has appreciated nearly 139% since then till press time. A trader, who goes by the pseudonym “Benjamin Blunts,”saidbefore the coin’s $40,000 rally that it would reach the near $50,000 mark. The current market cap of YFI is nearly $650.21 million. Why It Matters:YFI’s surge was led by a perfect storm as strong technicals, new products, yield farming, and growth in the popularity of DeFi liquidity pools buoyed the cryptocurrency, Cointelegraphreported. There are 30,000 YFI tokens in circulation and Yearn’s creator Andre Cronje did not set aside any for himself. However, more YFI can be minted,accordingto CoinDesk. “I think the ‘no inflation’ meme is here to stay,” according to Tarun Chitra, a member of Yearn’s multisig — an equivalent to the board of directors. Tarun told CoinDesk there are other ways for the system to “monetize.” Price Action:YFI traded 4.76% higher at $21,513.89 at press time while Bitcoin traded 5.77% higher at $17,599.77.

Worldwide coronavirus cases surpassed 90 million on Monday, according to a Reuters tally. Stocks on Wall Street slipped ahead of the start of an earnings season that arrives with equities at record highs, and as House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

Longer-term Treasury yields were at their highest since March before new long-dated supply coming this week and on speculation of more U.S. fiscal stimulus as Democrats will have control of Congress and the White House. Expectations of a multitrillion-dollar stimulus plan and the belief the Federal Reserve will not act to counter rising interest rates, along with new Treasury supply are helping yields rise, said Gennadiy Goldberg, an interest rate strategist at TD Securities in New York. Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 11/32 in price to yield 1.1443%, from 1.107% late on Friday. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield brushed against 100 basis points to hit its steepest since July 2017. The climb in yields in turn offered some support to the dollar, which rose to its highest in over two weeks against a basket of currencies.

(Reporting by Rodrigo Campos; additional reporting by Medha Singh and Devik Jain in Bengaluru, Stephanie Kelly, Saqib Iqbal Ahmed, Karen Brettell and Herbert Lash in New York; editing by Nick Zieminski and Lisa Shumaker)', 'By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell on Monday, slipping from record highs, partly on caution over rising coronavirus cases globally while elevated Treasury yields continued to support the dollar, which touched its highest since December against a basket of peers. Worldwide coronavirus cases surpassed 90 million on Monday, according to a Reuters tally. Stocks on Wall Street slipped ahead of the start of an earnings season that arrives with equities at record highs, and as House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Rising coronavirus cases across Europe and China dragged down commodity stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 89.28 points, or 0.29%, to 31,008.69, the S&P 500 lost 25.07 points, or 0.66%, to 3,799.61 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 165.54 points, or 1.25%, to 13,036.43. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.67%. With Asian stock markets also lower, MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.77% after closing at a record high on Friday. Longer-term Treasury yields were at their highest since March before new long-dated supply coming this week and on speculation of more U.S. fiscal stimulus as Democrats will have control of Congress and the White House. Expectations of a multitrillion-dollar stimulus plan and the belief the Federal Reserve will not act to counter rising interest rates, along with new Treasury supply are helping yields rise, said Gennadiy Goldberg, an interest rate strategist at TD Securities in New York. Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 11/32 in price to yield 1.1443%, from 1.107% late on Friday. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield brushed against 100 basis points to hit its steepest since July 2017. The climb in yields in turn offered some support to the dollar, which rose to its highest in over two weeks against a basket of currencies. "While the USD may catch a bid on position-adjustment or profit-taking after its recent weakness, a sustained recovery will have to be accompanied by either a clear improvement in recent yield trends or a positive U.S. growth shock," said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank. Story continues The dollar index rose 0.256%, with the euro down 0.54% to $1.2152.

What Happened:Yearn Finance (YFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) coin, gained 15.93% in the 7-day period leading up to press time — beating Bitcoin’s gains of 14.48%. Yearn Finance, launched in February, is an aggregator service for investors and allows DeFi investing and yield farming. YFI gained 4.76% in a 24-hour period reaching $21,513.89, nearly rivaling the 5.77% gains made by Bitcoin. The DeFi cryptocurrency had reached $41,382.98 on Sept. 14 before plunging as low as $9,014.91 on Nov. 6. YFI has appreciated nearly 139% since then till press time. A trader, who goes by the pseudonym “Benjamin Blunts,”saidbefore the coin’s $40,000 rally that it would reach the near $50,000 mark. The current market cap of YFI is nearly $650.21 million. Why It Matters:YFI’s surge was led by a perfect storm as strong technicals, new products, yield farming, and growth in the popularity of DeFi liquidity pools buoyed the cryptocurrency, Cointelegraphreported. There are 30,000 YFI tokens in circulation and Yearn’s creator Andre Cronje did not set aside any for himself. However, more YFI can be minted,accordingto CoinDesk. “I think the ‘no inflation’ meme is here to stay,” according to Tarun Chitra, a member of Yearn’s multisig — an equivalent to the board of directors. Tarun told CoinDesk there are other ways for the system to “monetize.” Price Action:YFI traded 4.76% higher at $21,513.89 at press time while Bitcoin traded 5.77% higher at $17,599.77.

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

Though Levine’s headline calls it a “dystopian future,” his conclusion is a bit more positive.

It is in its way an oddly principles-based form of regulation: You don’t need specific rules against specific types of bad conduct; all you need is evidence that the company did a thing and the stock dropped because of it,” Levine concludes. There aren’t many publicly traded companies in the crypto industry this trend might apply to, though the attitude – of pursuing legal action for any perceived or real financial loss – still pervades. Yesterday, one of Ripple Labs’biggest financial backersfiled suit against the crypto incumbent to redeem its investment. Back in 2019, the multi-billion asset manager Tetragon Financial Group led Ripple’s $200 million Series C. And now that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Ripple for potential securities fraud, Tetragon wants its cash back. Filed in Delaware, Tetragon said it will attempt to “enforce its contractual right to require Ripple to redeem” its preferred stock, Bloomberg reported, and even freeze Ripple’s assets until it pays up. Ripple rejected the lawsuit, saying its investor can only redeem its equity for cash “if XRP is deemed to be a security on a go-forward basis,” according to a court filing. While Tetragon isn’t claiming securities fraud on behalf of Ripple, it is an effect of an ongoing securities fraud investigation. The SEC claims Ripple raised $1.3 billion over a seven-year period by sellingXRPto retail investors. Ripple is the primary holder of XRP, though it has claimed over the years the network is sufficiently decentralized like Ethereum and that it is not the crypto’s creator. Whether XRP is a security is now up for the courts to decide, but the lawsuit has already led to material outcomes.Grayscale Investments(sister company to CoinDesk) and Bitwise both removed XRP from their crypto index funds, while several exchanges have made moves todelistor suspend XRP trading. One might wonder if XRP is deemed to be a security and Ripple found to have violated securities law, if exchanges might have the right to pursue legal action against the firm. Because, as Levine points out, litigiousness is baked into U.S. business culture. • Kimchi Spreads, ‘Rat Poison,’ Shape Shifts: What You Need to Know in Crypto Today • Kimchi Spreads, ‘Rat Poison,’ Shape Shifts: What You Need to Know in Crypto Today... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 3.63% on Tuesday. Following on from a 7.31% slide on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,123.0. It was the 4 th consecutive day in the red. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin slipped to an early morning low $33,762.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $31,270, Bitcoin struck a mid-morning intraday high $36,656.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $38,912, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $32,427. While steering clear of the first major support level, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Late in the day, Bitcoin briefly revisited $35,500 levels before sliding back into the deep red. Despite of the late reversal, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off.

What Happened:Bitcoinhas been on a rally since July, even though the momentum is staggered in the $19,000 levels of late. While many draw correlations between Bitcoin’s four-fold growth from March lows and the pandemic fueled market rally, others see the cryptocurrency as an alternative asset to gold. In 2017, Bitcoin peaked at $20,000 post, which led to a free-fall. The rally then was primarily fueled by a retail-investor frenzy. According toBloomberg, JPMorgan analysts seeGrayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust(OTC:GBTC) as a window for institutional investments in Bitcoin, which will push the demand for the apex cryptocurrency beyond retail purchases by millennials. “The multitude of regulated crypto exchanges and custodians has eliminated the career risk for institutional investors. In 2017, there was retail FOMO," Arslanian said in an interview. "The question is whether we will see institutional FOMO in 2021.” Why It Matters:Traditional banks have trailed fintech firms in terms of growth and embracing new technologies. Fintech firms’ foray in cryptocurrency — likeMicrostrategy Incorporated(NASDAQ:MSTR) buying anothermillion worthof Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey-ledSquare Inc’s(NYSE:SQ)million investmentin Bitcoin and its offerings through Cash App, orPaypal Holdings Inc’s(NASDAQ:PYPL) allowing users to buy, hold, or sellcryptocurrency— suggest that the new-age companies are prepared for a change in financial dynamics if that happens. JPMorgan Chase & Co.(NYSE:JPM), which has publicly criticized the volatile nature of Bitcoin earlier,launchedits own virtual currency this year. Graysscale's Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts sawrecord average daily trading volume in November, as its Bitcoin assets increased five-fold from $2 billion in December last year to $10 billion today. As per Bloomberg, hedge funds accounted for 81% of the money coming in. “Institutional investors are keen on portfolio construction in the wake of COVID-19, and the ways they need to reposition themselves given how governments have injected stimulus into the system,” Michael Sonnenshein, managing director of Grayscale Investments, said. Arslanian expects increased pressure on asset managers to consider Bitcoin as part of portfolio construction as investors become comfortable with it. Price Action:GBTC closed 3.25% lower at $23.22 on Friday, and ETHE closed 3.48% lower at $122.05.

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

Even so, with bitcoin trading hands above $35,000 for the past 24 hours, one could value Finland’s trove north of $69 million.

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

"This morning’s disappointing retail sales figures reinforced the idea that more stimulus will be needed," said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets in New York. U.S. 10-year notes last rose 13/32 in price to yield 1.0852%, from 1.129% late on Thursday.

What Happened: Andrew Trampe, an investor, filed a lawsuit in a federal court in Los Angeles on Thursday, claiming the video game developer misled investors about the game's condition and possible technical glitches that led to losses. According to the court filing, the plaintiff claims CD Projekt did not warn investors that Cyberpunk 2077 was virtually unplayable on the current-generation Xbox or Playstation systems due to an enormous number of bugs. The video game developer vowed to defend itself against any such claims. Why It Matters: Sony Corp (NYSE: SNE ) removed the long-anticipated game from the PlayStation store on Dec. 18 and offered full refunds to everyone who had purchased it. CD Projekt SAs American Depositary Receipt shares went down by 25% in the next three days after the games release on Dec. 10. They fell another 16% following Sonys announcement. Users started to complain about glitches and bugs in the game just hours after its official release, according to Bloomberg. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT ) has also begun offering refunds for the game but has not pulled the game out of the Microsoft store yet. Price Action: Sony shares fell 0.60% and closed at $96.26 in the after-hours trading on Thursday. Microsoft traded at $222.51, with a 0.11% loss at the Thursday post-market session close.

An entrepreneur, Zach has started multiple tech and music companies, including Immediatek, which rolled out Bair’s copy-control technology in 2002, and subsequently commercialized the original DiscLive, considered to be the pioneer of the "instant live" space, on a groundbreaking tour with the Pixies in 2004. Immediatek sold to Mark Cuban in 2006. Prior to Immediatek, he founded Voyence (previously known as PowerUp Networks) based on patented software of his design, and raised over $12M in a Series A round of funding. That company eventually sold to EMC Corp.

TIRC is the unique token name and is expected to be listed on Cryptosx during Q1 2021.

Chainlink slid by -3.24% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.21%), Litecoin (-0.17%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.36%) saw modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $804.97bn before rising to a Thursday high $1,083.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,004.03bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 70.28% before falling to a Saturday low 66.73%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 67.26%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.47% to $36,211.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $35,565.0 before striking a high $36,348.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.05%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.27%), Ethereum (-0.19%), and Polkadot (-0.52%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 2.87% to lead the way, with Binance Coin up by 2.22%. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $36,485 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,553 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $37,997.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $39,064. Failure to move through the $36,485 pivot would bring the first major support level at $34,974 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of the second major support level at $33,906 and the 23.6% FIB of $33,008.

And this week made it clear just how far some of those companies have come.An eye-popping IPO from Affirm led the way, but more than a half-dozen other fintech startups also made major news. And that's one of 10 things you need to know from the past week:Max Levchin, who co-founded PayPal and now leads Affirm, is no stranger to the power of fintech. (Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)1. Money talks Affirm tried its best to avoid a huge IPO pop that would leave money on the table. First, the provider of point-of-sale loans delayed its listing in December, in the wake of intense investor demand when Airbnb and DoorDash went public. (Let's take a moment to appreciate the strangeness of a company being worried its stock might be too popular.) Then, earlier this month, Affirm increased its IPO's initial price range of $33 to $38 per share to a new range of $41 to $44. Ultimately, it priced its shares even higher, landing on a $49 figure for a debut this Wednesday.And yet Affirm still opened trading at more than $90 per share and closed its first day at $96.36, up nearly 100% from that already-elevated IPO price. That resulted in a market cap of some $23 billion for Affirm, which was valued privately at $2.9 billion in 2019.The banner debut is a sign that the IPO market is still going crazy—more on that later in this newsletter. As my colleague James Thorne writes, it could be the first ofmany significant fintech IPOs to comein 2021, along with names like SoFi, Coinbase and Robinhood. Globally, there were $30.9 billion worth of VC exits in the fintech sector during 2020, according to PitchBook data, the highest total of at least the past decade.Taken in the context of the past seven days, Affirm's warm reception also underlines just how bullish investors are feeling about the future of fintech.Checkout.com, a London-based developer of payments technology, became the most valuable venture-backed company in Europe this week with a $450 million Series C that cameat a $15 billion valuation. In Singapore, ridehailing and food delivery giant Grab raised more than $300 million this week for its fintech unit.Financial data specialist MX, payments provider Rapyd and digital lending startup Blend all raised nine-figure fundings this week, resulting in respective valuations of $1.9 billion, $2.5 billion and $3.3 billion. For MX, that marks a 322% valuation step-up over its most-recent venture round, in 2019. For Rapyd, it is a 108% step-up in a little more than a year. And for Blend, it represents a 94% valuation increase in a mere five months.Plaid is one of the biggest VC-backed names in fintech, known for its financial infrastructure tools that connect data to vario Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The benchmark S&P 500 index stands near record highs while bond yields have rallied to their highest levels since the pandemic began, despite last week's shocking assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump - an apparent divergence between the political and economic realities on the ground and market valuations. With Trump's presidency due to end on Jan. 20, investors say they are looking ahead to the trillions of dollars of additional stimulus promised by President-elect Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats, who will soon control both chambers of Congress, and what it would mean for economic growth and corporate profits. "It’s a market that actually says, 'We are investing for 2021 and we see explosive economic growth in the back half of this year,'" said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. "Because the market is a forward pricing mechanism, it frustrates the people that are watching the news in the here and now." Still, some investors wonder whether the market has gotten ahead of itself in a rally that has seen the S&P 500 surge more than 60% from its March lows. Rising Treasury yields threaten to dent the allure of stocks, which are trading near their highest valuations in 20 years, while the Federal Reserve could accelerate the timing of interest rate hikes if the recovery proves stronger than expected. Among the investors that have recently expressed concern are Jeremy Grantham of money manager GMO, who said earlier this month that the stock rally "has finally matured into a fully-fledged epic bubble." Bond giant PIMCO was more circumspect, predicting on Tuesday that the U.S. economy could rebound to pre-recession levels later this year but pointing out a bevy of risks, including a sooner-than-expected withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. Meanwhile, regulation concerns loom over the big technology and internet stocks that account for more than 15% of the S&P 500, and wild rides in the shares of electric car maker Tesla and cryptocurrency Bitcoin are bolstering the case for those who argue markets have entered a bubble. As markets have climbed, some investors have been in sell mode: Net outflows in equities totaled $2.4 billion last week, coming on the heels of near-record withdrawals a week before, client data from BofA Global Research showed. "Flows suggest clients may be cautious to add more equity exposure given index highs and extended valuations," BofA Global Research said in a note on Tuesday. Doubts about the rally's sustainability were a periodic feature of the decade-long bull market that followed the 2007-2009 recession and figured prominently in last year’s rebound, when many analysts and investors were struck by the dissonance presented by surging stock prices and the human and economic misery brought by the pandemic. HIGH VALUATIONS More recently, the market has looked past the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol and the subsequent push by Democrats to remove Trump from office, with the S&P 500 rising 2% over the past week. Should more political unrest occur around Biden's inauguration, investors have said they expect any associated market volatility to be temporary. Upcoming corporate earnings reports may need to be strong to support stock valuations. The S&P 500 trades at 22.7 times future earnings estimates, well above its long-term average of 15.3, according to Refinitiv Datastream. So far, that's what's expected. Earnings for S&P 500 companies are expected to rise nearly 24% in 2021 after falling 15% last year, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. "I'm not concerned because I think market valuations are reflecting a quicker rebound in profitability than folks thought was possible in the spring," Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said on Friday. Low interest rates and Treasury yields, which keep borrowing costs attractive for companies and help make equities relatively more attractive in comparison with bonds, have provided another rationale for the high valuations. However, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note has risen recently, climbing to around 1.11% from 0.78% about two months ago. While that increase supported interest rate-sensitive stocks such as banks, a sharp rise in yields could hit stocks, particularly those with longer-duration cash flows such as tech and growth stocks.At the same time, markets are starting to push up bets on when the U.S. central bank could tighten monetary policy, with eurodollar futures contract prices reflecting growing odds that a rate hike could happen as early as June 2023, roughly three months earlier than was priced in a week ago. "On a 12-month horizon, we would advise investors to be overweight equities, but for shorter-term positions right now we are more neutral," said Erik Knutzen, multi-asset class chief investment officer at Neuberger Berman.

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

What Happened:Bitcoinhas been on a rally since July, even though the momentum is staggered in the $19,000 levels of late. While many draw correlations between Bitcoin’s four-fold growth from March lows and the pandemic fueled market rally, others see the cryptocurrency as an alternative asset to gold. In 2017, Bitcoin peaked at $20,000 post, which led to a free-fall. The rally then was primarily fueled by a retail-investor frenzy. According toBloomberg, JPMorgan analysts seeGrayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust(OTC:GBTC) as a window for institutional investments in Bitcoin, which will push the demand for the apex cryptocurrency beyond retail purchases by millennials. “The multitude of regulated crypto exchanges and custodians has eliminated the career risk for institutional investors. In 2017, there was retail FOMO," Arslanian said in an interview. "The question is whether we will see institutional FOMO in 2021.” Why It Matters:Traditional banks have trailed fintech firms in terms of growth and embracing new technologies. Fintech firms’ foray in cryptocurrency — likeMicrostrategy Incorporated(NASDAQ:MSTR) buying anothermillion worthof Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey-ledSquare Inc’s(NYSE:SQ)million investmentin Bitcoin and its offerings through Cash App, orPaypal Holdings Inc’s(NASDAQ:PYPL) allowing users to buy, hold, or sellcryptocurrency— suggest that the new-age companies are prepared for a change in financial dynamics if that happens. JPMorgan Chase & Co.(NYSE:JPM), which has publicly criticized the volatile nature of Bitcoin earlier,launchedits own virtual currency this year. Graysscale's Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts sawrecord average daily trading volume in November, as its Bitcoin assets increased five-fold from $2 billion in December last year to $10 billion today. As per Bloomberg, hedge funds accounted for 81% of the money coming in. “Institutional investors are keen on portfolio construction in the wake of COVID-19, and the ways they need to reposition themselves given how governments have injected stimulus into the system,” Michael Sonnenshein, managing director of Grayscale Investments, said. Arslanian expects increased pressure on asset managers to consider Bitcoin as part of portfolio construction as investors become comfortable with it. Price Action:GBTC closed 3.25% lower at $23.22 on Friday, and ETHE closed 3.48% lower at $122.05.

The apex cryptocurrency has since cooled-off, trading at around $35,962 at press time. According to JPMorgan analysts, Bitcoin could cross the $40,000 mark again in the coming weeks if investor interest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC: GBTC ) remains high. If that fails to happen, the cryptocurrency risks further crash. Tesla too has seen a massive 700% over the trailing one-year period, with Elon Musk becoming the world\x92s richest person \x97 overtaking Amazon.com Inc.\x92s (NASDAQ: AMZN ) Jeff Bezos. Nevertheless, the EV maker continues to inspire optimistic price targets from analysts, with Wedbush\x92s Daniel Ives giving a bull case target of $1,250.

All rights reserved.', 'The FTSE 100 was set to make modest gains in early trading today as London investors got their chance to react to new US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s pledge to “act big” to help the US economy rebound from Covid-19.\nYellen, former head of the US Federal Reserve central bank, pledged to provide relief to those in need in the US economy, triggering expectations of further stimulus measures beyond the $1.9 trillion already promised.\nShe also made clear that the tough US policy on China would continue, albeit with a different tone than under Donald Trump.\nFor its part, China today upped the ante against the US with media there repeating claims the Covid pandemic had been started by America.\nFor currency markets, her biggest point was to stress that the US would no longer be looking to talk down the dollar. Trump had regularly attempted to suppress the greenback to boost US exporters.\nAsian markets started the morning up strongly, hitting new record highs, but the gains petered out, and Joe Biden’s inauguration later today was not set to be greeted with a surge in markets in Europe.\nThe FTSE 100 was being called up just 15 points at 6726, the Dax in Germany flat at 13815 and France’s CAC 40 down 8 at 5590. Those prices were from CMC Markets. IG Index called the FTSE up 20.5,\nInflation data today for December will show there are no signs of prices rising as economies struggle under the weight of Covid. The numbers will not include the more optimistic feel that markets have indicated so far this month in the UK as vaccine rollout progresses quickly.\nEurope’s dismally slow pace of vaccinations will hold back their economies a little longer than the UK’s, although Britain has further to claw back after Covid hit it hardest last year.\nUK inflation could see a modest uptick to 0.5% from 0.3% in November largely due to higher fuel prices. The less-widely watched core inflation number is likely to come in at 1.3% from 1.1% before.\nEuropean inflation is set to come in at minus 0.3% in headline CPI and plus 0.2% in the core inflation figure.\nStockwatchers in the US may have been watching Yellen with half an eye, but the focus after hours was on Netflix, which shot the lights out on its trading figures. Shares in the popular big tech stock jumped 13% in after hours trading as it reported strong growth in subscriber numbers to more than 200 million despite the rise of Disney’s streaming product and some price rises.\nStill on global stocks, Alibaba shares jumped this morning after founder Jack Ma made his first public appearance since disappearing after criticising China’s regulators and state-owned banks in October. After his speech back then, his Ant Financial’s IPO was cancelled by regulators and he was given a dressing down in public by Beijing officials.\nIn a video posted online, he said: “ Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Increased demand from institutional, corporate, and more recently retail investors has powered bitcoin's surge this year, attracted by the prospect of quick gains in a world of ultra-low yields and negative interest rates. The world's most popular cryptocurrency climbed as high as $40,402.46 and was last up 6.1% at $39,100. It crossed $30,000 for the first time on Jan. 2 and $20,000 on Dec. 16. Smaller coins ethereum, the second largest in terms of market capitalization, and XRP, the fourth biggest, gained 1.8% at $1,231 and 31% at 32 U.S. cents, respectively. Both currencies often move in tandem with bitcoin. Some investors viewed bitcoin as a hedge against inflation amid enormous monetary stimulus aimed at battling the economic devastation caused by COVID-19. Market participants though warned a correction could be in the cards after a scorching rally. "While further growth is inevitable, investors should not expect this to move in a straight line," said Gavin Smith, chief executive officer of cryptocurrency consortium, Panxora Group. "The reality is that bitcoin is far from being a magic money tree, nor is it free from downward price swings. In fact, we can expect dips as sharp as 25% at times as investors periodically withdraw profits," he added. Bitcoins surge happened as the market cap for the entire cryptocurrency sector topped $1 trillion on Thursday, according to data trackers CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Glassnode, which provides insight on blockchain data, noted that retail interest in bitcoin has increased the last few weeks, with the number of bitcoin addresses or wallets holding a "non-zero amount" of the virtual currency reaching an all-time high of more than 33 million. The information provider also said while interest in bitcoin and news coverage have grown, it is far from being in bubble territory. The number of daily new bitcoins has still not reached 2017 levels, Glassnode said, suggesting the currency is experiencing strong organic growth in adoption, but not the sort of "viral growth typical of a bubble."

Hours earlier, the leading cryptocurrency had sliced through $30,000 like a light saber through gossamer, a torrid start to the year. • Once the price of the leading cryptocurrency crossed the $30,000 mark for the first time — something it had struggled to do for the last couple of days — it exploded upwards like a ball released under water, reaching a new all-time high of $33,136.92 and then continuing the push, breaching $34,000 hours later. • “Bitcoin makes TSLA (Tesla) look like it is standing still,”tweetedJim Bianco, well-known macro strategist, shortly after the cryptocurrency broke $30,000. • The latest gains come two days after bitcoin closed out a year in which the cryptocurrency rose more than 300%, with an almost 50% gain in December alone, sort of like a boulder gaining speed downhill, only in the opposite direction. On Nov. 30,bitcoinbreecheda nearly three-year-old high of $19,793. By the close of Dec. 31, the cryptocurrency had risen about $10,000. • Propelling the record-setting run is agrowing narrativethat bitcoin represents a form of “digital gold,” along with a flood of institutional investors into the cryptocurrency: Among them: Anthony Scaramucci’s Skybridge Capital ($182 millionin December); MassMutual ($100 millionin December); and Guggenheim (up to 10%of its $5 billion macro fund). • “Bitcoin price is being driven by institutional money and there is not enough supply,” Laurent Kssis, managing director at 21Shares, told CoinDesk. “The number of family offices asking to invest in our ETP is just staggering.

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

Event Strategies Inc. got the lion\x92s share of payments \x97 $1.7 million from the Trump campaign and a joint fundraising committee, according to records. Company owners \x97 Justin Caporale, the Trump campaign\x92s advance director, and Tim Unes \x97 were identified on the permit as rally production and stage managers. Event Strategies also received $2.1 million from the Trump-affiliated dark money group America First Policies from 2018 to 2019, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Story continues On Jan. 6, Trump urged his supporters in a speech at the rally to go to the Capitol, and \x93fight\x94 to seize the election . \x93You\x92ll never take back our country with weakness,\x94 he exhorted. \x93You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.\x94 Trump\x92s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said in his rally speech concerning the battle to overturn the election of Joe Biden : \x93 Let\x92s have trial by combat !\x94 Among others listed on the permit for that rally was Megan Powers, who worked as director of operations of the Trump campaign as recently as this month, according to her LinkedIn profile.

This battle, pitting corporate interests seeking to profit from the Bitcoin system’s disruptive potential against an anti-corporatist dream for a human-first financial system that bypasses institutional middlemen, has been in play for some time. But withbitcoin’slatest price rally, the fight has intensified. Now, Wall Street’s heavyweights are moving in. And to many who hail from Bitcoin’s “cypherpunk” roots, those guys are the enemy. Related:Crypto Long & Short: Bitcoin's Relationship With Gold Is More Complicated Than It Looks The engagement ofFidelity,Citibank,BlackRockand nowMassMutualneed not be the death knell for a humanist Bitcoin dream. There’s still a pathway to a fairer, more open, inclusive financial model, even with those institutions increasingly investing in and engaging with bitcoin services. But the route to that idealized future is less direct and, inevitably, involves more intense competition. It’s also not clear whether these competing visions can coexist in the long run. Either way, in the medium term – which may last decades – the tensions will persist and intensify. Who ultimately wins, and how, is what matters. To be clear, many long-term enthusiasts for bitcoin are cheering the arrival of these big names. Partly that’s because their participation has boosted the cryptocurrency’s price, which keeps bitcoin HODLers happy. It’s also because these newcomers are finally comprehending the core value proposition for investing in bitcoin as a digitally scarce store of value. That offers vindication for all who’ve been telling this story for the better part of a decade. Related:Saylor Hits Back at Claims MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Trove Makes It an ETF But there’s still an inherent conflict between the interests of regulated, compliance-conscious institutions, which will support the imposition of regulations and controls to ease their own participation in it, and those that see such rules and constraints as exclusionary barriers to entry for a wider swath of humanity. A lightning rod here is KYC and AML, the “know-your-customer” and “anti-money laundering” rules that compel banks to collect identifying records for all their account holders. This system means everywhere that Bitcoin touches the legacy financial system, which it will increasingly do as more big name companies and financial institutions are drawn to it, there is growing pressure for crypto service providers to impose KYC and, in turn to avoid dealing with others who don’t. (See: thecrypto “Travel Rule.”). The problem is not only that KYC runs counter to the cypherpunk ethos of privacy. As we discussed ina recent Money Reimagined podcast, this requirement can seriously hurt the goals of financial inclusion and innovation. Raoul Pal, CEO of RealVision and influential global macro investor, found himself in the middle of this fight recently after hetweetedto bitcoiners that KYC is in their interest because it will bring institutional money into the asset and boost its value. As someone with an account bearing the name SexyWebCamPro100x noted in one of more than 700 replies to that remark, the tweet begged fora meme of someone kicking a hornet’s nest. Pal is an influential thinker about Bitcoin’s place in the future financial system. So we invited him onto this week’s “Money Reimagined” podcast to discuss his brawl with Crypto Twitter. For balance, we also invited CoinDesk columnist Jill Carlson, who, among other roles, is a founder of the Open Money Initiative, which focuses on boosting financial access and economic freedom for underserved communities. Pal offered a nuanced explanation of his position. He said while his point was partly about allowing both bitcoin HODLers and institutions to “get rich,” it was also that for the Bitcoin system to be a transformative force it needs the “network effect” of more money coming into the space, which in turn requires institution-friendly regulation. “For people to realize their ambitions that it’s a stateless money … for it to be adopted by people who live within the confines of a sovereign state, unfortunately it will have to be regulated and there’s almost nothing we can do about it,” Pal said. Some might see a contradiction: for Bitcoin to realize its power as a “stateless” network, the state must exercise more control over it. But Pal’s point is about sequencing. He says we need to first go through a process of official accommodation within the existing system to advance Bitcoin’s journey along“Metcalfe’s Law.”Once it becomes a ubiquitous network, then it is in a position to properly challenge that system. Indeed, as Carlson pointed out, the positive thing, for those who believe in Bitcoin’s disruptive potential, is that “you’re not going to implement KYC and AML at the protocol level.” Since “there is nothing inherent to Bitcoin that can be regulated, enforced or controlled in that way,“ it can at that level always resist official coercion. But she also worried that the ever-growing encroachment of compliance requirements on applications builton topof that protocol impedes access to it among marginalized and financially excluded people. Carlson cited how LocalBitcoins, a peer-to-peer exchange network that was once a “gateway to economic freedom” in places that impose capital controls and other forms of monetary repression, has “increasingly come under scrutiny and has to institute more and more KYC and AML standards and protocols.” She added, “That’s problematic where we are talking about people who don’t have any identity or are unbanked and are refugees and so forth.” So, where does this go? Following Pal’s trajectory, we must first see expanded ownership of bitcoin as an asset, during which its price will drive dramatically higher before eventually reaching stability. Only then can it accommodate a broader set of use cases. One idea is that universal acceptance will then provide network effect benefits to “layer 2” solutions such asLightning, which could enable lightweight, low-cost transactions for all. Another is that universal bitcoin acceptance as a store-of-value lets it evolve into a programmable social reserve asset, which then becomes a form of smart, automatically executable collateral upon which innovative new forms of borrowing, lending and insurance are built. In theory, it could replace fiat sovereign assets such as U.S. Treasury notes and bonds as the building block for a global financial system, one that would presumably be more decentralized, with less friction and cost, more innovation and greater accessibility. But does that mean those seeking positive, humanistic change must just wait their turn? Must they first let Wall Street have its fill? And what guarantee is there that just because it becomes an institutionalized asset it also becomes a tool for payments and financial access? It’s hard to say. As Pal noted in our podcast interview, “The reality is that what we want [Bitcoin] to be, as individuals, is irrelevant. It’s a network that lives and breathes and does its thing.” All that’s true. But individuals also have the capacity to organize and, for better or worse, the capacity to lobby governments to introduce rules that influence the evolution of these networked systems. Which is why this tug of war must continue. LET’S BE FRANC.The Swiss National Bank’s straightlaced central bankers run a predictable, transparent and generally respected monetary policy. So they might chafe at a comparison to China’s policymakers, who oversee a rather opaque, government-mandated system of capital controls and centralized interest rates. But according tothis Bloomberg article, it looks as if Switzerland could earn the same “currency manipulator” label that the U.S. Treasury Department put on China in a politically charged move last year. In theory, the U.S. could consider sanctions if a country is deemed to be using its currency for unfair trade advantages. Switzerland has been actively intervening to hold down the value of the Swiss franc since 2011, when the euro crisis prompted huge inflows of safe haven-seeking money into the country’s economy. The U.S. would be more within its rights to call Switzerland a currency manipulator than it was with China. (The Treasury Dept. removed the designation fromChina earlier this year.) Switzerland is explicitly using its money-printing powers to alter the value of its currency with the goal of making its businesses more competitive. China used to do the same thing a decade ago. But at the time of the Treasury designation it was going the other way: intervening to strengthen the yuan against the dollar. Still, you can hardly blame Switzerland from trying to inculcate its relatively small economy from forces outside of its control in the much larger currency zone across its borders. The U.S. may well be sympathetic to that argument, and would refrain from applying sanctions. But, as the article points out, the risk to the Swiss National Bank is that currency speculators would see the designation as an excuse to test the central bank’s resolve. Might this lead to an even bigger influx of traders looking to push the Swiss franc higher on the bet that a now politically anxious SNB will hesitate to buy euros or dollars to stop the franc from appreciating? Maybe. But there’s a bigger picture problem here, one that plays into our future of money thesis. The SNB’s problems in managing a currency speaks to a wider set of risks where investors are growing nervous about expansionary monetary policy and growing fiscal debts within the worst global economic environment since the Great Depression. Switzerland’s experience offers lessons, where letter-of-the-law U.S. policymaking could provoke unforeseen consequences in currency markets. Were this to play out on a more global scale, with bigger and more numerous economies involved, we could have ourselves an international currency war. And i... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

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

In a recent portfolio update, Ruffer alluded to the involvement of the “world’s largest custodian of digital assets” without naming names. “Access to the bitcoin is controlled by multi-layer security protocols,” Ruffer wrote of its cold-storage setup. A second source confirmed to CoinDesk that Coinbase was the custodian described in Ruffer’sportfolio update. Coinbase Custody announced last month it was storing over$20 billionin customer assets. The revelation sheds light on how large investors are entering thebitcoinmarket: namely through trusted partners. Big bets in recent weeks by everyone fromMassMutualtoGuggenheimare seen as the driving force behind bitcoin’s current price rally. (MassMutual went withNYDIGfor its $100 million bitcoin buy.)

The following day, One River Digital, a crypto-focused offshoot of volatility hedge fund One River Asset Management,came out of stealth, proclaiming it had already brokered $600 million in bitcoin andetherfor its institutional clients. Coinbase confirmed on Wednesday it was conducting trade execution and crypto custody for One River Digital. It declined to comment for this story. Ruffer owns a stake in One River Digital. Billionaire hedge fund manager Alan Howard does as well. One River Digital did not respond to a request for comment. The Ruffer revelation shows just how far San Francisco’s Coinbase is reaching into the world of fund management.

Acase studypublished by Coinbase explained how the firm pulls off market-swamping allocations without alerting traders. Coinbase is now readying itself for a Wall Street debut. On Thursday, as bitcoin continued to race past its $20,000 ceiling into new all-time highs, the exchangeannounced it had confidentially filed for an initial public offeringwith U.S. regulators. Meanwhile, Ruffer explained in its portfolio update that macroeconomic factors guided the manager’s bitcoin bet. “The current macroeconomic environment is set up perfectly for an asset that blends the benefits of technology and gold,” Ruffer said, adding: “Negative interest rates, extreme monetary policy, ballooning public debt, dissatisfaction with governments – all provide powerful tailwinds for bitcoin at a time when conventional safe-haven assets, particularly government bonds, are perilously expensive.” Ruffer said bitcoin has grown to meet this moment. “Since 2017, billions of dollars have been invested in the infrastructure needed to support this wave of bitcoin adoption; many of the impediments to institutional investors have been dismantled.” Ruffer’s analysis was clear: the institutions are here with more on the way; the cypherpunks are fading fast. Wrote the $27 billion mega-manager: “[Bitcoin] seems set to move from being loved by the anti-establishment to being embraced by the dominant interests of the establishment.” Zack Seward contributed reporting. • Ruffer Investment Used Coinbase to Execute $745M Bitcoin Buy • Ruffer Investment Used Coinbase to Execute $745M Bitcoin Buy... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/GGDD-MMEE', 'Michael Saylor sponsoring conference: Bitcoin for Corporations', 134, '2021-01-24 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l3n8ar/michael_saylor_sponsoring_conference_bitcoin_for/', 'Came across the link on youtube when interviewed by CNBC (Michael Chad Saylor buys the dip).

Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $31,174 before recovering to close out the day in the green. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday.

Chainlink (+6.47%) and Ethereum (+13.09%) also found support to buck the trend in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV slid by 22.52% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-8.64%), Cardano’s ADA (-7.06%), Crypto.com Coin (-7.98%), Litecoin (-1.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (-11.96%) also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $1,080.72bn before sliding to an early Saturday low $812.79bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $971.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 67.47% before falling to a Sunday low 62.84%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.75%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.29% to $32,736.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $32,253.0 before striking a high $32,835.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Polkadot bucked the trend early on, falling by 0.68%. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 4.02% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $32,168 to bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major resistance level at $33,326 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $33,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $33,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $35,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $34,331. Failure to avoid a fall through the $32,168 pivot would bring the first major support level at $31,163 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $30,005.

The dollar and most other fiat currencies are expected to lose a significant chunk of purchasing power, and ETH 1 is a notably different beast than ETH 2.0; they will certainly have different fair market valuations, and unless there is a really big problem with ETH 2.0, it can likely command an order of magnitude higher a price than ETH's historical price. Although again, who knows?\n\nEDIT: This is probably also why several of the projections in the previous ETH price prediction link post are flawed. If you are making a price prediction based on the BTC ratio, you are not factoring ETH 2.0's higher functionality. If it can command a higher price, it may also be able to command a higher ratio. [/EDIT]\n\nI think that these reasons and a few others like them mean that if you just draw a shape on a TA price chart, you're almost certainly going to lowball the potential price action and sell too early. Conversely, if you take these factors into account, the margin of error opens up. I'm drawing best guess peak-price figures which range all the way from 7K to over 90K. \n\nAt this point I am comfortable saying I know that I don't know ETH's peak price.

He made the example of wealthy families who have owned land in Manhattan for generations; these families take out loans against the properties. The loans are untaxed and since the price of the properties keep rising, can be paid without losing the properties. Sounds nice. Since his interview (and maybe even before) bitcoiners here and elsewhere have agreed with Saylor to do the same thing with their BTC.\n\nIn my view, that's a bad idea. Here's why.\n\n 1. Counterparty risk. If you deposit your BTC with Celsius or some other lender as collateral, you no longer hold the keys. The lender might get hacked or otherwise go belly-up, and you'll be out of your collateral. Whether this is an acceptable risk is a personal matter.\n\n 2. The strategy is based on the assumption that BTC will keep rising in value. (If BTC does not rise in value, then the loan will come due, with interest, and the collateral may not suffice to cover both, making the loan a very bad investment.). The second risk is thus - what if the 2021 rise is bitcoin's last bubble?\n\nIt think this might be the last bubble. Over a year ago, [someone else made the argument](https://forums.prohashing.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6423) that there is only room for one more bubble. While that post is worth reading, here's why I think there's little room left to grow after this bubble.\n\nLet's assume that the top of the current bull market/bubble is at $150,000. Not unreasonable. That gives a market cap of $2.25 trillion (assuming only 15 million BTC in circulation). That puts BTC at around 20% of the [gold market cap](https://companiesmarketcap.com/gold/marketcap/). That would make bitcoin a major player.\n\nA following bubble (maybe sometime around 2024), which increases the price by, e.g. 10x (i.e. to 1.5 million per BTC) would put us at a whopping $22.5 trillion market cap. That's [two thirds of the S&P 500.](https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_market_cap) It's nearly [half of all the US stock market](https://siblisresearch.com/data/us-stock-market-value/). It would [exceed M2 money supply](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/m2.asp).\n\nSo much for comparisons. None of this means that bitcoin cannot reach such lofty heights, especially in a globalized economy. It's possible, maybe even probable. However, I think it will become increasingly unlikely, and it is certainly not inevitable. Government and institutional resistance is likely to grow exponentially. While governments cannot regulate bitcoin itself, they can regulate bitcoin's interactions with their economies. China, for instance, limits the amount of Remninbi a person can convert to US$ to $50,000. Is it inconceivable that governments will limit the amount of BTC that can be exchanged for fiat, or for goods and services per person? Especially if prompted to do so from powerful lobbying interests?\n\nTime will tell. I could be wrong, which is why I post this here. I'm curious about your thoughts.\n\nPersonally, I would plan to cash out whenever you think this bubble has reached its top (though keep some BTC just in case). That's what I plan to do with my (very modest) BTC holdings. Simply put - for my risk tolerance - the combined risks of counterparty failure leading to a loss of BTC together with the possibility of this being the last bubble means that paying capital gains taxes is more acceptable than carrying those risks.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l4awqz/is_this_the_last_bubble_and_why_id_rather_pay/', 'l4awqz', [['u/uxeen', 28, '2021-01-25 01:33', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l4awqz/is_this_the_last_bubble_and_why_id_rather_pay/gknkfmn/', 'he did not recommend taking loans against bitcoin or any other “market value” asset. he said take loans against fixed value assets like a house or a car.\n\nthe main point he was making was never sell your bitcoin. he said develop a relationship with a bank and take loans out when you need liquidity to avoid selling your asset. he specifically recommended taking loans against assets like your home, and avoid taking loans against assets that will fluctuate wildly.\n\nyou can use your bitcoin as a factor in getting a loan by including it in your “total wealth.” this is not the same as collateralized loans with bitcoin.', 'l4awqz'], ['u/Perringer', 21, '2021-01-25 01:40', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l4awqz/is_this_the_last_bubble_and_why_id_rather_pay/gknlczs/', "A rising asset does not require bubbles in order sustain its value as collateral or an interest bearing item.

Today's Key News: ['LPETTET / Getty Images Everyone needs to invest. In terms of classic pearls of wisdom in the personal finance sphere, “invest your money” is right up there with “have an emergency fund” and “make a budget.” Despite the fact that putting some portion of your savings to work in stock and bond markets is almost universally acknowledged to be sound advice, almost half of Americans aren’t investing. Given how powerful a tool investing can be, that’s downright tragic. See: 26 Smartest Ways To Invest Your Money Right Now Case in point: Imagine that at age 35, your long-lost uncle dies and leaves you $10,000. You’re trying to decide between just parking that money in your savings account — one of the safest options imaginable — and investing money in shares of an S&P 500 exchange-traded fund, an investment designed to match the performance of the index. How would your decision play out after 10, 20 or 30 years? Take a look at the table to see how that $10,000 could grow: What a $10,000 Investment Would Be Worth Over 30 Years Investment Estimated Annual Return After 10 Years After 20 Years After 30 Years Savings Account 0.1% $10,100.45 $10,201.91 $10,304.39 S&P 500 ETF 10% $25,937.42 $67,275 $174,494.02 Whereas the average interest rate paid on a savings account is 0.1%, the average annual return on the S&P 500 has come out to roughly 10% over the years — about 100 times more. That means an average savings account will yield about $100 a decade for every $10,000 while the S&P 500 should more than double the value of your money over the same time period if returns are in line with historical norms. So if you’re among those Americans who still aren’t investing, it’s time to get yourself into the game. Although investing can feel intimidating from the outside looking in, understanding a few basic topics can help you get started even when you don’t have a lot of money to spare. Whether you’re starting with $5 or $5 million, some simple strategies can help keep your risks low and your money growing. Story continues Here’s what this guide to investing your money will cover: What Is Investing and Why Is It Important? What’s Your Investment Strategy? Deciding What To Invest In Investment Accounts Choosing a Broker To Manage Your Investments Common Investing Mistakes What Is Investing and Why Is It Important? On the most basic level, investing is about letting other people use your money. Everyone has to save, be it a rainy day fund or for a major purchase. At the same time, businesses need to spend: on staff, on R&D, on repairs. And most businesses need to spend more than they can get their hands on, even if only temporarily, to keep growing. Investing is the brilliant compromise that makes the money people save temporarily available to businesses that need to borrow. In many cases, you aren’t putting money directly into the hands of a business owner, but almost every transaction involved with investing echoes back to this basic principle at some point — even your savings account. The reason your bank pays interest on your savings account is that it takes a certain percentage of deposits and uses them to make loans, creating profits it shares with you. Not only is your savings account a way to keep your money safe and growing, it’s also playing some role in helping local small businesses get the loans they need. A Guide for Beginners: How To Start Investing Compound Interest Compounding interest refers to the fact that the longer you invest, the faster your money grows. That’s because gains from the money you make from your investments become part of the new basis from which new returns grow. That makes your returns bigger, which makes your investments, and thus your future returns, even bigger. Over time, that can have an exponential effect that’s surprisingly effective. Say you find a high-yield savings account offering a 2% interest rate and park $10,000 there. At the end of the first year, your initial $10,000 will have grown by 2% and you’ll be sitting at $10,200. In that second year, you collect 2% of $10,200, so your interest payment goes from $200 to $204. In year three, you get 2% on $10,404, so you collect $208.08. Over a long enough period, your original $10,000 keeps gathering momentum, like a snowball rolling downhill. Compound Interest Means the Earlier You Invest, the Better You’ll Do Thanks to compound interest, every additional year you leave your savings untouched means an even bigger payout than the year before. Take a hypothetical example of two sisters: Ruth and Erica. Erica had the good sense to take her $10,000 graduation present from grandma, park it in an S&P 500 ETF and then completely forget about it. Ruth, on the other hand, spent grandma’s $10,000 graduation gift on a car, but she started saving 10% of her income a year at age 45 and matched the $10,000 Ruth stashed away each and every year for 20 years. Clearly, Ruth wound up with the larger retirement fund, correct? After all, by age 65, she had invested 20 times as much money as Erica had, and in the exact same investment vehicle. Guess what? Despite failing to save a penny aside from that one investment early on, Erica’s fund is now worth $881,974.85 after compounding at 10% a year for 47 years. Ruth’s fund, despite her investing $200,000 to Erica’s $10,000, is worth $640,024.99. Alas, you can’t travel back in time and invest $10,000 as a teenager, but you can take to heart just how important it is to start investing as soon as possible if you haven’t already. Check Out: 13 Toxic Investments You Should Avoid What’s Your Investment Strategy? Getting the right investment strategy isn’t about having an encyclopedic knowledge of investment products. It’s about what matters the most to you. What are your plans for the future? What are your financial goals? Before you even begin to think about what to invest in, you should have a strong sense of what it is you’re investing for. Here’s what to consider when figuring out your investment strategy: 1. Risk A crucial step in formulating an investing strategy is to figure out what sort of risk profile you want as an investor. Every investment involves risk, and generally speaking, more risk means higher returns and vice versa. In every portfolio, few things matter as much as that dance between risk and return. It’s a careful balance that’s ultimately going to be different for every person. Learn: Ways Investing Will Change in 25 Years 2. Time Frame Another essential factor in developing an investing strategy is when you plan on using your money. Before you can buy a house or start funding your retirement, you’ll need to sell off investments to convert them back into cash. In some cases, selling them at the wrong time can mean you wind up with a lot less. Knowing when you will need to turn your investments into cash, to the degree that’s possible, will help you maximize your earnings. Short Term: Most short-term investments focus on minimizing risk. But the investments that might produce a large gain over a short period of time often have a strong chance of producing a large loss. If you’re going to be cashing out in the near future, you don’t want to be forced to sell at a loss. That’s part of why most financial advisors tell people to begin shifting into more stable investments as they near retirement. Intermediate: With a little more time comes more flexibility to assume risk with less chance of having to sell something before the right time. You might even be able to put a small portion of your money into higher-risk investments because you have a little more time to ride out any ups and downs. But you should start shifting away from that risk the closer you get to needing your money. Long Term: Long-term investing can mean taking on a bit more risk. Because you’re not going to sell any time soon, you can just wait out the ups and downs and stay focused on the trends that play out over years and decades rather than weeks and months. But, once again, keep an eye toward when you will eventually be cashing in so that you can keep shifting into more stable investments over time. Read: Do I Need a Financial Advisor? Deciding What To Invest In Eventually, the rubber meets the road and you have to make some choices about what to invest in. Don’t worry if you find that terrifying. There are a great many investment products built precisely with you in mind, giving you a chance to make simple, easy-to-understand choices without taking unnecessary risks. 1. Stocks Stocks often get the lion’s share of public attention, due in no small part to their volatility. Stocks are among the riskiest investments you can go for, but how much risk you actually take can vary widely depending on your approach. Simply put, a stock is a tiny little piece of a company. The more successful the company, the more valuable its stock becomes. As such, investors buy stocks because they expect to be able to sell them for more later — if they’re particularly good at predicting which companies outpace market expectations, maybe a lot more than they bought it for. That does mean stocks are one the riskiest and most volatile investments. The prospects of a single corporation, even a big one, can be a veritable crapshoot. Even a casual observer of the stock market is probably aware that there’s a crash every decade or two that can send values diving across the board and take years to recover from. Although the short-term perspective on stocks can be chaotic, the long term can be remarkably stable. Whereas the S&P 500 has had individual years where it lost a third of its value, the good years and the bad still average out to a gain of about 10% a year — a return that’s hard to match elsewhere. And it’s also important to remember that there’s a whole range of risk levels when it comes to stocks. Smaller companies, or “penny stocks,” are incredibly risky, but established, “blue-chip” stocks are more stable and less risky by orders of magnitude. Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.	Daily Context for Date: 2021-01-26 Financial & Commodity Data: - Gold Closing Price: N/A - Crude Oil Closing Price: N/A Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics: - Market Capitalization: $593,749,322,862 - Hash Rate: 166658079.0462025 - Transaction Count: 336935.0 - Unique Addresses: 768537.0 Social & AI Sentiment: - Fear & Greed Index: 0.71 Other Textual Data: - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: A startup called Core Scientific announced this week that it hasraised$23 million to expand its cryptocurrency mining operations. The company, based in Bellevue, Wash., is already running crypto mines in North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky, and plans to open more before long. It’s not hard to understand why. Right now, a single Bitcoin—the digital mining equivalent of a gold nugget—is worth around $20,000. Mining a single Bitcoin block brings a reward of 6.25 of them, or about $125,000. If Core Scientific’s mining ventures are successful, the company will not just make a lot of money. It will also help to repatriate crypto production to the United States, where Bitcoin got its start. The recent resurgence in crypto mining feels like a good-news story. Mining companies like Core Scientific are in a position to make money and create jobs in rural areas, while also ensuring more Bitcoin—which is becoming a strategic asset—ends up in American hands. But there are also reasons for caution. The last crypto-mining boom promised similar benefits but resulted in fly-by-night companies leaving a trail of scams and environmental degradation in their wake. Will the outcome be any different this time? Mining cryptocurrency is different from conventional mining in some obvious ways. There’s no excavating and hauling ore. And the tools of the trade are not pickaxes and dynamite. Instead, crypto miners rely on two things to make a living: custom-designed computer chips and a torrent of electricity. A crypto-mining operation looks like this: In order to find a digital nugget, crypto miners pit their computers against others around the world in a race to solve complex math problems. The computer that solves the problem broadcasts the solution to others on the network and, in doing so, adds a block tothe blockchain—a tamperproof ledger that serves as a public record of transactions. For their trouble, the owner of the winning computer pockets the “block reward,” which is 6.25 Bitcoins in the case of Bitcoin plus transaction fees. The process is repeated every 10 minutes or so. In the early days, when it was still viable to mine Bitcoin with a home laptop, a large proportion of crypto mining took place in the U.S. But as the computer power needed to solve the math problems increased, Chinese mining operations came to dominate. The Chinese miners enjoyed two advantages: easy access to cheap power, including in places like Mongolia, and a domestic manufacturing base capable of cranking out so-called mining rigs—computers with custom chips made just for mining. While there are other mining operations around the globe, China remains far and away the leader, as can be seen inthis chartfrom the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance: Now, some U.S. companies believe they can wrest some of the mining pie back from China. In the case of Core Scientific, it has struck arrangements for cheap power across five sites, spanning over 100 acres in total, in Dalton, Ga., Marble, N.C., and Calvert City, Ky. The firm has also cut deals with Chinese manufacturers to get first dibs on the newest mining rigs, and plans to mine not just Bitcoin but so-called alt coins like Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Zcash, and Ethereum. Core Scientific is now one of the biggest U.S. miners, but its operations are part of a still larger plan. That plan is being steered by an outfit called Foundry, which is behind the just announced $23 million investment in Core Scientific. Foundry is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG), a sprawling crypto conglomerate that recently announced it wouldspend $100 millionon mining initiatives. According to Foundry CEO Mike Colyer, boosting crypto production in the U.S. will serve to strengthen Bitcoin’s network by diversifying the miners who maintain it. “The only way Bitcoin works is when it’s distributed through the world and when it’s decentralized,” says Colyer, who predicts the share of U.S.-produced Bitcoin could rise to 25% in the next few years. Put another way, the U.S. mining ventures will help ensure that no consortium of miners can collude to manipulate the blockchain network. Such collusion requires a single entity to control over 50% of the network—a risk that is is remote in the case of Bitcoin, but which has transpired in the case of smaller digital currencies. Foundry’s mining initiatives offer the promise of strengthening Bitcoin’s network—and, of course, giving the company a chance to make money—but may also reflect another strategic imperative. Namely, as demand for Bitcoin increases in the market, more companies may wish to have a private supply of it to facilitate trading operations. In the case of DCG, which has a giant consumer Bitcoin business, Foundry’s ventures may help facilitate vertical integration. “Mining is a great way to accumulate Bitcoin. With the correct setup, you can mine it cheaper than you can buy it,” says Amanda Fabiano, who formerly oversaw mining operations at investment giant Fidelity and now does the same for crypto-trading firm Galaxy Digital. To get a different perspective on Bitcoin mining in North America, I spoke to Steve Wright, the general manager of a public utility in Chelan County, Wash. During the last big Bitcoin boom in 2017, Wright had to contend with a crush of mining companies asking to tap into the county’s ample hydroelectric resources. “We had a lot of companies come in and say, ‘We’re going to do great things,’ and then they would be gone from the face of the earth,” Wright recalls. “People would say, ‘We’re here for long term,’ and then nobody would pick up the phone.” Problems also came in the form of reckless operators who overloaded transformers, triggering fires. Meanwhile, the crypto miners who wanted to set up shop demanded the low electricity rates available to locals. For Wright, agreeing to those demands risked undercutting the profits the utility earned from selling its hydropower at higher rates to outside markets. Wright also faced pushback from county residents who questioned whether it was ethical to expend energy on something like Bitcoin mining. “When you have a green supply of power and you have a carbon-challenged world, people were asking if this is the best use of that power,” said Wright, whose job involves overseeing Columbia River dams like the one below. The debate over the environmental impact of crypto mining is not restricted to Chelan County. The payment giant Square, which recentlybought $50 millionof Bitcoin for its corporate treasury,announceda $10 million pledge this week to support a “Bitcoin Clean Energy” initiative as part of a larger plan to become carbon neutral by 2030. Meanwhile, other U.S. companies are finding creative ways to reduce Bitcoin’s environmental impact. Fabiano of Galaxy Digital pointed to three firms in the oil-and-gas field—Crusoe Energy, Great American Mining, and Upstream Data—that arecapturing the energytypically wasted through flaring (when shale drilling rigs burn off excess natural gas) to power crypto mining. All of this may help assuage critics who view Bitcoin mining as an environmental disaster. But firms like Core Scientific also have to overcome another public relations problem: that mining operations are run by shifty carpetbaggers who will leave local communities in the lurch. This perception is another legacy of the 2017 Bitcoin boom when digital miners—who typically share the libertarian, borderless worldview of the larger crypto community—took towns across the country for a ride. The most famous example is Rockdale, Texas. The town became the subject of aWiredmagazine featureabout how a Chinese firm, Bitmain, touted a new Bitcoin venture that would help replace jobs and revenue that had been lost when anAlcoaplant closed. Rockdale town officials put on lavish dinners to make the mining executives feel welcome but, as happened in Chelan County and elsewhere, they vanished into the night. As for jobs, cryptocurrency mining operations may provide a handful of new positions for local residents. But Wright says the employment opportunities are nothing like what a recently closed aluminum plant used to provide—meaning his county has less reason to roll out a welcome mat for crypto companies. Colyer, the Foundry CEO, acknowledges the crypto-mining industry must overcome deep levels of mistrust. But he insists ventures like Core Scientific are a different breed from past fly-by-night operations. “In 2017, there were lots of people making huge promises, running around the company, and scaring local governments. A lot of those people have disappeared, and the companies that are left are legitimate,” he says. But even if the North American mining companies can overcome public skepticism, they will also have to prove they can succeed in a venture that has mostly been defined by failure. A successful crypto-mining operation requires the use of new machines built with ASIC chips—a type of computer chip custom-built for a specific purpose. In the case of Bitcoin mining rigs, the chips are specially designed to crunch the math problems that build the blockchain. This raises an obvious question: If a company can manufacture the best mining rigs, why would it sell them rather than set up a Bitcoin-mining operation of its own? And indeed Bitmain, one of the two Chinese companies that makes most of the machines, has faced past accusations of passing off used mining rigs as new. Meanwhile, the company is the subject of an ongoingclass action lawsuitthat claims it surreptitiously mined Bitcoins purchased by its customers. The allegations are unproven, and Bitmain denies wrongdoing. But the situation appears to pose a risk for the likes of Foundry and Core Scientific, which are not only undertaking their own mining operations but plan to supply machines to other companies. Colyer of Foundry says that such concerns were valid in the past but that the mining industry has evolved to eliminate self-dealing by the Chi... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/j-corduroy', 'Just Got SIM Swapped', 97, '2021-01-26 00:27', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/l50k31/just_got_sim_swapped/', 'Yep.\n\nAnd for the record when the crypto market goes nuts I am not recommending your sloppy asses to anybody. \n\nGot an email saying my number was changed to some random ass 31 digit number (new SIM).

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

According to an indictment filed in the U.S. Southern District Court of New York and unsealed on Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has charged Amir Bruno Elmaani, aka “Bruno Brock,” on two counts of tax evasion. Elmaani, who created a blockchain protocol called Oyster Pearl, is alleged to have made “millions of dollars” from an initial coin offering of its pearl (PRL) cryptocurrency in 2017. Those tokens were purportedly to be used for the purchase of online data storage that fueled the Oyster protocol. Related: Ethereum Far Outpaces Bitcoin in Developer Activity in 2020: Electric Capital Report Rather than reporting the income earned from the sales to the IRS, Elmaani allegedly falsified his 2017 tax return and failed to file one in 2018, instead pocketing the millions. “As it turns out, Elmaani was funneling the proceeds of his alleged cryptocurrency scheme through a shell company that hid the true nature of his financial interests,” said William Sweeney Jr., the FBI’s assistant director, in a Department of Justice statement . According to the indictment, Elmaani used $10 million in proceeds to buy multiple yachts (where he stored gold bars), real estate and home renovations, as well as spending $1.6 million at a carbon-fiber composite company. The maximum penalty of a criminal charge for tax evasion carries a maximum of five years per count, meaning Elmaani could be facing up to 10 years in a federal prison. Related: Would the STABLE Act Make Running an Ethereum Node Illegal? Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a separate civil action against Elmaani on Wednesday. He is charged with conducting an illegal securities offering of PRL tokens and profiting from “minting millions of unauthorized tokens for himself at no cost and selling them into the secondary market, thereby causing the value of others’ tokens to plummet.” Story continues The exit scam Beginning October 2018, Elmaani – operating under his pseudonym Bruno Brock – exploited a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain to create new tokens to be sold at a below-market price before creating new ones for himself for free. At the time, Elmaani said he was retaining millions of PRL in accordance with his “founders share” and in the process claimed he had to move his PRL tokens to a different wallet in order to avoid double taxation, per the DOJ indictment. By inflating the fixed supply of PRL through his access to the protocol, it’s claimed Elmaani was able to convert his newly minted PRL tokens to other cryptocurrencies using a “foreign-based exchange.” After discovering the alleged foul play, the exchange ceased all trading for PRL which left investors holding bags of essentially worthless tokens. The SEC said, “Elmaani made approximately $570,000 in illicit gains through the minting and sale of Pearl tokens and, as a result of his sales, the price of Pearl tokens fell by nearly 65%, resulting in significant losses for investors.” See also: Over 13% of Bitcoin Crime Proceeds Laundered Through ‘Privacy Wallets’: Elliptic Elmaani used a coin mixer – a service designed to conceal the true origin or destination of cryptocurrencies on a given blockchain – before transferring funds to family members and friends, after which he transferred them to his own accounts, according to DOJ. “The underlying scheme was old-fashioned fraud and tax evasion,” said Audrey Strauss, acting Manhattan U.S. attorney. “Thanks to the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation Division, Elmaani is now in custody and facing federal prosecution.” Related Stories Cryptocurrency Founder Charged With Avoiding Tax to Buy Yachts and Homes Cryptocurrency Founder Charged With Avoiding Tax to Buy Yachts and Homes... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Wall Street also provided a lift to sentiment, as stocks rebounded after earnings season got off to a strong start and concerns eased around hedge funds selling long positions to cover shorts. The dollar index was little changed at 90.566 early in the Asian day, after slipping 0.1% overnight. The gauge is still on track for a 0.4% weekly advance following safety buying at the start of the week amid concerns that President Joe Biden\'s fiscal spending package will not be as large as the proposed $1.9 trillion. However, many analysts expect the dollar to return to the downward trend that saw it lose nearly 7% of its value last year, particularly with the Federal Reserve committed to ultra-easy monetary policy. "Wide expectations of that huge issuance that\'s coming and the support of the Fed mean that we\'re looking in the medium-term for further U.S. dollar weakness," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney.

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

This year, with the price of bitcoin shooting for the moon, Bitcoiners have more reason to celebrate – and more reason to assert their sovereignty over their private keys. Read more:Bitcoin Blasts Past $34K for First Time, Less Than 24 Hours After Blowing Through $30K An annual event first initiated by Trace Mayer,Proof of Keysis an informal celebration that aims to remind bitcoiners that monetary sovereignty is a fundamental part of Bitcoin’s ethos. It lies at the very heart of the familiar Bitcoiner mantra, “not your keys, not your coin.” In other words, if you don’t control the private keys to yourbitcoin, you don’t really own the coin. The saying is a reminder that Bitcoin was built to give users complete control over their finances. It’s also a reminder of the potential consequences of trusting your bitcoin keys to a third party (like losing your funds in an exchange hack).

They don’t want you to be free and independent with your money,” Mayer said in thelead-up to 2019’s inaugural event. “That’s just the way it is.” The implications of being reliant on others to process, exchange and hold your cryptocurrencies aren’t immaterial. They hold acute consequences and compromises of your privacy, and will limit how you interact with your own money. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)gathers extensive personal informationon millions of people’s financial transactions, all provided by financial institutions, even when those people have not committed any crime. This year, taking custody of your keys by moving them to a personal wallet takes on an added level of significance. FinCEN hasproposed a planthat will force exchanges to comply with new know-your-customer (KYC) requirements when users try to transfer their funds to a personal wallet. Such a requirement, applicable to any transferred amount over $3,000 in value, threatens to undermine cryptocurrencies’early promiseofprivacyandself-sovereignty.

Assuming control of your own private keys and becoming the first and last line of control when it comes to your crypto is even more imperative. The most basic way to exercise your monetary sovereignty is to hold your private keys in your own non-custodial bitcoin wallet. This means taking any bitcoin you own out of exchanges and custodial wallets and transferring the keys to a wallet you control. “Proof of Keys” takes the notion of self-sovereignty even further by adding the adage, “Not your node; not your rules.” The point here is that it is equally important to withdraw your keys to a bitcoin node that you are running. This way, you can perform your own validation yourself, without having to trust other people’s nodes to prove that your keys are your own.

Reasons should be obvious to anyone looking around. Most of the world spent the last year under house arrest and we learned just how willing people are to accept Orwellian takeover of all areas of our lives. The mixed economy is revealing itself more than ever to be what Steve Patterson called today "the extended State," censoring information, canceling accounts, de-personing people, all in all serving the ends of totalitarianism around the world. Scary times, so I think one is being irresponsible in not reducing their risk surface here.\n\nThe three forks of Bitcoin (BCH, BSV and BTC) make up a large portion of the strategy in achieving that goal, so obviously being able to pay with them without converting to fiat on an exchange (an attack surface) is very important.\n\nFor any kind of commerce, 9/10 I use BCH and my [Bitcoin.com](https://Bitcoin.com) wallet. It\'s awesome. You use it once and you realise big-block Bitcoin is the best payments tool ever created. BSV works great too but it doesn\'t have anywhere near the adoption that BCH has in payments and Craig\'s shenanigans make it increasingly unlikely companies are going to integrate it because who wants to deal with people like that?\n\nToday\n\nToday I had to pay with BTC. I don\'t do it too often but in this particular case there was a giftcard I needed to buy that was only available on BitRefill as far as I could tell. I paid for the $400 card + a $17.50 fee, waited an hour then drove a half hour to the store. I was in the store for another hour but when it came time to pay the transaction still hadn\'t confirmed.\n\nI waited another half hour and meanwhile I\'m on Twitter reading idiots in the Bitcoin Mini space talking about how everyone needs to buy Bitcoin (BTC) to escape companies like Robinhood censoring your economic activity and you just can\'t help but scream inside a bit because BTC literally cannot handle many more people trying to join to escape this BS. I paid roughly a 5% fee on my transaction and still can\'t buy anything at the store after several hours. It gets much, much worse from here. You\'d see confirmations taking weeks and weeks, or months, if all the economic activity around GameStop lately tried to join BTC to escape economic censorship.\n\nAnd of course the added irony is that it is 100% censorable. It\'s not just that everyone is going to have to use custodial payment options, or that fees are going to be so high only banks and Michael Saylor (who has probably never used Bitcoin) will use the chain, it\'s also that the wait period for confirmations will have a similar chilling effect that economic censorship has.\n\nI waited...and waited...but I was on a pretty tight schedule so I decided to just pay with credit card like all the Bitcoin Minimalists tell you to. I drove home and in total it\'s been nearly six hours and there\'s still no confirmation.\n\nSure, sure I could have a "lower time preference..." like the Minimalists say, and I\'m all about that, but in this case the purchase was time sensitive! Dead economic time like that really costs a lot of money and it can do a lot of other personal damage. Couldn\'t wait.\n\nConclusion\n\nSo now I\'ve got $400 on my credit card and a $400 gift card (plus fees) I have no use for that I still can\'t spend, and I\'m lucky I can afford it but keep in mind a few things:\n\n\\- The fee alone can buy people several meals in countries that need it most.\n\n\\- Most people today would just have to wait until the transaction finally did confirm because it would be too expensive to eat the cost twice by paying with a credit card after the fact. Economic activity slows accordingly.\n\n\\- Slow confirmation times are an attack opportunity for state actors. Not everyone has the luxury of having a low time preference.\n\nThey say Bitcoin isn\'t for buying coffee but if it\'s not for $400 payments either then what good is it? Interbank transfers?\n\nThis is not the revolution that got many of us so excited years ago.\n\nI said "one of my goals for 2021 is to reduce my exposure to fiat and traditional banking as much as possible," and I know I\'m not alone in this goal, but that is impossible to achieve on BTC because it has been artificially rate limited by dummies, trolls and saboteurs. Minis pushing that dream are living in a fantasy. It\'s never going to happen.\n\nLiving off of Bitcoin and the damage Core did\n\nBig-block Bitcoin is the obvious choice, but right now we\'re stuck with the unfortunate reality that BTC is the market leader and both BCH and BSV, and just about everything else, have lost significant value vs BTC, and best money needs to not only be good for payments but also storing value against other assets.\n\nIt\'s just a sad fact that it\'s hard to fully live off BCH if it\'s not yet a good store of value. But from my own experience today it\'s clearly impossible to live off BTC now. I make quite a few transactions everyday and I can\'t wait 5+ hours every time. Forget about the fees.\n\nSo looking at it all in whole, you can begin to see the damage that was really done. Bitcoin was split into a mainstream version that is entirely useless as a payments tool but has the network effect and branding that gives it the kind of price appreciation that attracts more people, and a less mainstream version that is amazing for payments but struggles against a 1000 alt coins for network and market share which makes it less useful and less threatening.\n\nHard to believe that wasn\'t intentional.....\n\nNow more than ever people are looking for ways to opt out of the current system, but we just aren\'t there yet. We would be if BTC had just raised the blocksize years ago. We\'d have a true digital store of value that was incredible for moving any amount of money around the world at fast speeds and low costs. But god I hope we get there soon before the dark suits start shilling for a Digital USD which will of course be a horrible thing for freedom everywhere and might also suck a lot of the life out of crypto for some time.\n\nKeep building BCH!', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/l7c2ey/a_personal_btc_payment_story_or_why_btc_can_never/', 'l7c2ey', [['u/kamchii', 13, '2021-01-29 00:36', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/l7c2ey/a_personal_btc_payment_story_or_why_btc_can_never/gl5x51z/', "RBF invalidates your entire argument, and it's a core foundation of BTC's design that you can't explain away.

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

Why It Matters:XRP has beenunder pressure of lateafter the United States Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple, the company closely linked with the token. Denis Vinokourov, head of London-based brokerage Bequant attributed XLM’s rise partly to the fact that it is a modified fork of XRP,reportedCoinDesk. The expert also attributed the gains in XLM to the fact that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currencyrecently allowedU.S. banks to use public blockchains and dollar-backed stable coins for settlement purposes. An earlier announcement by Stellar that it was helping Ukraine develop a central bank digital currency is also turning out to be a “perfect storm” for XLM, CF Benchmark’s CEO Sui Chung told CoinDesk.

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

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

In the post-World War II era, the S&P delivered >10% gains during the final two months of the year just five other times (1954, 1962, 1970, 1985, and 1998). And asLPL Financial analysts observed, each of those five experiences were followed by a year of >10% returns in the market with an average gain of 18%. A big 2021 would be particularly impressive considering the run the market has already been on. Last year’s16% gainfollows a massive29% surge in 2019. DataTrek Research looked back at the history and observed that the market delivered three (or more) consecutive years of >10% five other times: 1942-1945, 1949-1952, 1963-1965, 1995-1999, and 2012-2014. While it wouldn’t be unprecedented to have another year of double-digit returns, it would be pretty unusual. And DataTrek’s Nicholas Colas has his doubts. “If we had to guesstimate, we’d say 80% of all the baseline good news expected in 2021 is already incorporated in an S&P 500 at 3,700 in late December 2020,” Colas wrote last week. As we discussed in theMorning Brief last Wednesday, the stock market at present reflects expectations for the future. And there are lots of bullish things that people are confident will happen in the coming months. “Do we really think investors haven’t figured out that corporate earnings will rebound sharply in 2021?” Colas said. “Or that they don’t believe the Federal Reserve is serious about keeping interest rates low across the curve?” If stocks are going to have another blowout year, Colas thinks we’d have to see earnings growth that is stronger than the strength already expected; a COVID-19 vaccine rollout that happens much quicker than expected; and/or more fiscal stimulus than is on its way. The truth is we really are living in unprecedented times andhistory won’t be very helpfulin predicting what’s to come. Indeed, there’s a strong argument to be made that all the perceived optimism about the future is actually far more conservative than most think, which means therisks could be tilted to the upside. All of this will become much more clear in hindsight. BySam Ro, managing editor.

Sources tell Deadline that following a competitive situation, MGM has acquired the book proposal The Antisocial Network from New York Times best-selling author Ben Mezrich , which tells one of the biggest news stories of the year, about a ragtag group of amateur investors, gamers, and internet trolls who brought Wall Street to its knees. Even though the story is barely a week old, insiders say Mezrich and his reps took the proposal on the market at the end of the week and by Friday night MGM had moved fast to acquire the rights.

Photo: Reuters/Carlo Allegri Global regulators have fired warning shots on the GameStop ( GME ) saga, as feverish trading took place over the last week. Watchdogs on both sides of the Atlantic said they are monitoring activity and potential lawbreaking, warning traders they could face huge losses. Online brokerage platforms Robinhood Markets and Interactive Brokers sparked an outrage on Thursday after the platforms restricted its users from trading GameStop and other stocks. Reddit-inspired investors bought up shares in a war on hedge funds, that have long been shorting the stocks. Shares in the video game retailer soared more than 60% in early trade in the US on Friday. GameStop and other shorted stocks face continued volatility, after broker Robinhood lifted restrictions.

On Friday, analysts said concerns over this weeks drama had rattled wider markets, despite the far more limited squeezes and levels of short interest in European stocks versus the US. The VSTOXX volatility index for European leading stocks hit its highest level since November. The UKs regulator warned that traders should make sure they are familiar with all the rules including market abuse. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said: "The FCA is aware of the situation and continues to closely monitor trading in UK markets. UK investors should take care when trading shares in highly volatile market conditions that they fully understand the risks they are taking. This applies to UK investors trading both US and UK stocks. The USs Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said: "Extreme stock price volatility has the potential to expose investors to rapid and severe losses and undermine market confidence." It warned against manipulative and illegal trading and said it would review actions that might disadvantage investors, such as the stop on trading on Thursday.

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

Investors can invest in cryptocurrencies using a conventional ETP structure (or tracker) easily, with total confidence and security and cost-effectively thanks to the 21Shares suite of ETPs now composed of 12 Crypto ETPs : the 21Shares Crypto Basket Index ETP (HODL:SW), 21Shares Bitcoin (ABTC:SW \| 21XB:GY), 21Shares Ethereum (AETH:SW), 21Shares XRP (AXRP:SW \| 21XX:GR), 21Shares Bitcoin Cash ETP (ABCH:SW), 21Shares Binance ETP (ABNB:SW), 21Shares Tezos ETP (AXTZ:SW), 21shares Bitcoin Suisse ETP (ABBA:SW), 21Shares Bitwise 10 ETP (KEYS:SW), Sygnum Platform Winners Index ETP (MOON:SW), 21Shares Short Bitcoin ETP (SBTC:SW \| 21XS:GY), 21Shares Polkadot ETP (ADOT:SW \| PDOT:GR).

Michael Saylor, chief executive officer of MicroStrategy Inc, in a tweet to Musk, suggested that the billionaire Tesla founder and head, make the move. "If you want to do your shareholders a $100 billion favor, convert the $TSLA balance sheet from USD to #BTC," Saylor wrote in his tweet. "Other firms on the S&P 500 would follow your lead & in time it would grow to become a $1 trillion favor." "Are such large transactions even possible?" Musk replied to Saylor. "Yes. I have purchased over $1.3 billion in #BTC in past months & would be happy to share my playbook with you offline....," Saylor tweeted. Tesla and Musk could not be reached for comment. "Every CEO faces the challenge of how to preserve & enhance shareholder value in the face of this year’s unprecedented monetary expansion," Saylor said in a message to Reuters. "Bitcoin is the best solution to the store of value problem faced by every individual, investor, & corporation on earth," Saylor said. Shares of Tesla rose to a record high on Friday in a frantic day of trading as investors geared up for the electric carmaker's much anticipated entrance into the benchmark S&P 500 index on Monday. Bitcoin rose to a high of $24,299.75 on Sunday, after passing the $20,000 milestone for the first time last week, amid surging interest from larger investors. Bitcoin was last at $23,60.98 up 2.88%.

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

The Labor Department said nonfarm payrolls decreased by 140,000 in December, the first decline in eight months, well below expectations that called for a still-weak increase of 71,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was 6.7%. Economic data during the week leading up to Friday's report indicated a stalling labor market. The greenback had been climbing from a nearly three-year low on Thursday as a rise in U.S. yields helped fuel the unwinding of bearish bets on the currency, with traders taking profits against the euro in particular. After a brief pullback after the release of the data, the greenback resumed its path higher, as expectations grew for additional stimulus measures to help buttress the economy until vaccine rollouts allow for the easing of lockdown measures. "You would've thought you would get a number like this, and you would say to yourself here comes that downward pressure or weakness into play and, lo and behold, the market says you're not right, we are going to go a little bit stronger," said JB Mackenzie, Managing Director for Futures & Forex at TD Ameritrade in Chicago. "You do have some expectations priced into the dollar of increased stimulus coming through, obviously the new presidency coming in as well, so expectations got priced in right off the bat so that is why you are seeing it holding." The dollar index last rose 0.35% at 90.117 after touching a high of 90.252, it's best level since Jan 1. U.S. President-elect Joe Biden said the jobs report shows Americans needed more immediate relief now and that taking action now would help the economy even with deficit financing, including $2,000 stimulus checks. The Democrats' Senate seat wins give Biden latitude to push through more spending, which some analysts predict will fuel risk appetite and be negative for bonds and the dollar, although a strongly bearish consensus outlook for the greenback at the end of 2020 has eased somewhat. The dollar index dropped 7% in 2020 and as much as 0.9% in the first few days of the new year on expectations of U.S. fiscal stimulus. But since hitting its lowest level since March 2018, the greenback has found some footing, climbing as much as 1.2% over two sessions. Both the euro and the pound weakened against the dollar as it gained ground. The euro was last down 0.5% to $1.2209 while sterling was last trading at $1.3562, down 0.01% on the day. Bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high of $41,802.84, and last rose 2.39% to $40,454.81, after smashing through $40,000 for the first time on Thursday. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 2:49PM (1949 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Dollar index 90.1170 89.8150 +0.35% +0.00% +90.2520 +89.6640 Euro/Dollar $1.2211 $1.2270 -0.49% -0.07% +$1.2285 +$1.2193 Dollar/Yen 103.9400 103.8300 +0.12% +0.64% +104.0850 +103.6300 Euro/Yen 126.91 127.37 -0.36% -0.01% +127.4600 +126.8200 Dollar/Swiss 0.8866 0.8855 +0.14% +0.23% +0.8884 +0.8825 Sterling/Dollar $1.3562 $1.3565 -0.01% -0.72% +$1.3636 +$1.3540 Dollar/Canadian 1.2716 1.2690 +0.21% -0.13% +1.2743 +1.2659 Aussie/Dollar $0.7747 $0.7769 -0.29% +0.70% +$0.7798 +$0.7729 Euro/Swiss 1.0825 1.0860 -0.32% +0.17% +1.0863 +1.0821 Euro/Sterling 0.9001 0.9044 -0.48% +0.72% +0.9050 +0.8994 NZ $0.7222 $0.7256 -0.47% +0.57% +$0.7280 +$0.7206 Dollar/Dollar Dollar/Norway 8.4480 8.4260 +0.34% -1.54% +8.4770 +8.3630 Euro/Norway 10.3155 10.3400 -0.24% -1.45% +10.3610 +10.2715 Dollar/Sweden 8.2348 8.1717 +0.09% +0.47% +8.2508 +8.1809 Euro/Sweden 10.0560 10.0473 +0.09% -0.20% +10.0730 +10.0358 (Additional reporting by Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss, Editing by Nick Zieminski and Alex Richardson)... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jmnolly00', "STOP PAYING FOR BRAD'S LAWYER FEES - Actual DD", 55, '2021-02-03 00:14', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/AltStreetBets/comments/lb9htd/stop_paying_for_brads_lawyer_fees_actual_dd/', "My wife is staying at her boyfriend’s place tonight because my 1INCH isn’t enough for her. So I am sitting here eating mi-goreng and thinking of how to end the misery that is XRP and Ripple.\n\nWhat is XRP?\n\n* XRP is not Ripple. XRP is a token, while Ripple is the company that develops solutions using XRP. XRP is used to transfer money over the Ripple network, either between individuals or banks.\n* Not all partners announced by Ripple use the XRP token. Only a few of the 300+ announced partners use XRP! [In fact, only 12 institutions are using or testing ](https://decrypt.co/5313/complete-ripple-partnerships-xrapid-xrp)Ripple products using XRP.\n* Unlike BTC, XRP token are not mined. Ripple has minted the entire supply of the token when the network was launched.\n* Ripple intermittently releases portions of the supply from escrow and sell on exchanges.\n\nWhy now?\n\n* Brad and his brokeback mountain cowboys have been illegally raising funds by releasing XRP from escrow (there is still 48B XRP in escrow ready to be dumped) since 2013. The SEC knows this and has been building a case against Ripple and its executives for years.\n* The Ripple leadership team DGAF about XRP holders. The SEC has evidence that multiple Ripple execs have instructed market makers to dump tokens to coincide with news releases. [Check out their shady shit here.](https://www.ft.com/content/25648f67-36bb-45f1-8e37-3dabd4c68e89)\n* Don’t listen to XRP moonbois saying that XRP is already treated as a currency by FinCen and DOJ. The SEC is responsible for regulating the securities markets and protecting investors. Once the SEC proves that XRP is a security, watch both the DOJ and FinCen flip their stance and pursue criminal charges. [Check out how the SEC will prove that XRP is a security by using the Howey test.](https://dailyhodl.com/2020/06/17/xrp-fails-howey-test-and-is-not-a-security-says-former-cftc-chairman-christopher-giancarlo/)\n* Don’t trust some random Redditor? Trust the SEC. The SEC rarely loses in court. And never one involving cryptocurrency security tokens.\n * Remember Enigma?

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

The British pound held steady against the dollar and traded near an eight-month high versus the euro ahead of a Bank of England policy meeting that will publish findings on the feasibility of negative interest rates. Sentiment for the dollar has improved recently as progress in coronavirus vaccinations, moves by U.S. President Joe Biden to pass more fiscal stimulus, and improving economic data forced some bearish investors to give up their short positions. The dollar faces another test on Friday with the release of non-farm payrolls data, which will help confirm whether the world\'s largest economy has shrugged off a dip in growth toward the end of last year. "The dollar\'s recovery was triggered by a rebound in yields and an increase in inflation expectations," said Junichi Ishikawa, senior foreign exchange strategist at IG Securities. "This is supporting the dollar, which now has more room to rise against the euro, because the euro zone looks like it is lagging behind U.S. economic growth." Against the euro, the dollar stood at $1.2035, close to a nine-week high. The pound bought $1.3643, stabilising after a 0.2% decline in the previous session. Sterling traded at 88.19 pence per euro, near the strongest since May last year. The dollar was quoted at 105.04 yen, near its highest since mid-November.

Or in Minsk. Or Hong Kong.” The year 2020, shaped by the global pandemic and political and economic crises worldwide, made us reconsider many things. Stuff that didn’t catch much attention before starts to matter. In crypto, new, powerful trends are also on the rise.

Unstoppable, uncensorable internet money – bitcoin is catching on among protesters and dissidents around the globe. “Bitcoin wallets today are easier and more effective than those in the past,” Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer at the Human Rights Foundation, told CoinDesk. “Bitcoin’s liquidity has also grown enormously, and today there are people very happy to buy BTC from you in exchange for local currency in virtually every major urban area on Earth. For these two reasons, bitcoin is becoming a more viable tool for pro-democracy movements worldwide.” This year has also been rich for protests and civil unrest – a friendly environment for bitcoin’s libertarian, rudderless nature – but that’s not the only reason it’s gaining momentum with the civic movements around the world. Looks like the crypto industry is finally catching up with the needs of people beyond the community of tech-savvy crypto-evangelizing fans. Peoplerising against police brutality in Nigeria, thosefighting the ruling regime in Belarus, journalists in Hong Kong and theleader of the oppositionto President Vladimir Putin in Russia – they don’t necessarily believe in bitcoin’s mission, but for the mission they are on bitcoin became an essential tool. Related:Bitcoin Price Drops $1,000 in Worst Sell-Off in a Week Most of these people are not vocal bitcoin advocates, and some of them had been crypto sceptics before discovering bitcoin as something they can use. “I used to be quite far from the crypto world but this thing turned out to be useful,” said Yaroslav Likhachevsky, co-founder of BYSOL, a non-profithelping people in Belaruswho lost their jobs during the ongoing political tumult. Gladstein, of the Human Rights Foundation, told CoinDesk the epicenter of the important bitcoin activity left the Western hemisphere: “You can say that the “headquarters of bitcoin” is in Lagos now. At least, everybody there understands its value proposition. Most of Silicon Valley is hopelessly ignorant about bitcoin,” Gladstein said. Belarusians have been protesting the results of the recent presidential election since August,not recognizingthe current president Alexander Lukashenko as a legitimate winner and demanding that he quits. The regime responded withmass arrestsand brutal beatings by the police,internet shutdownsand firing of those who participated in the protests. BYSOLis a non-profit started by a group of tech entrepreneurs to help people who were fired in retaliation for showing their political stance or quit their government jobs in protest. According to the officialwebsite, BYSOL has just recently distributed more than 1.9 million euros (over $2.3 million) in donations, all via bitcoin, to a thousand people across Belarus. This did not get unnoticed by the ruling regime: Bank accounts of the BYSOL founders were soon blocked. Mikita Mikado, founder of a startup PandaDoc, who also helped BYSOL, found his employeesarrestedin September on fraud allegations. One of them, product director Viktor Kuvshinov, isstill in jail. The team soon found out that while fiat rails are good for fundraising (BYSOL raised most of its funds viaFacebook’s fundraising interface), distributing help in fiat is hard. The authorities have been monitoring BYSOL founders’ bank accounts and blocking them, so crypto provided the only lifeline the regime could not touch. Maria Koltsyna, one of the people BYSOL helped, talked to CoinDesk three months after she was fired from her job at a town hall for showing support to the opposition candidate during the election. She got $1,500 worth of BTC via a mobile crypto wallet – along with the instructions how to install and use it. She immediately put the money to work, buying a laptop and starting to learn a new job – search engine optimization (SEO). Belarus, located in Eastern Europe between Russia and Poland, is a small economy but it turned into a regionalIT hubrecently, and one of the tech startups offered Maria Koltsyna a part-time job. She just got her certificate as a SEO professional and is excited for the future that awaits. She told CoinDesk the new life feels better than the one she left behind. “When I worked in our city hall, I felt sad not seeing any results of our work, any respect or team spirit among coworkers. Now, in this company, everyone is working for the goal, supporting each other and sticking together.” Losing the old job, together with the timely help, opened the door to totally different life, Maria said. She doesn’t hate waking up and going to work in the morning anymore. “It’s like I morally broke free,” she said. One thing that makes her pessimistic, though, is the actual results of the protest movement. So far, Lukashenko is still clinging to his power, even though he occasionallyadmittedthat he might have been in power “too long.” “It really worries me to think that on New Year’s Eve I turn on my TV and see the same president again,” Koltsyna said. Koltsyna’s fears are not without foundation: Alexander Lukashenko chose to cling to his power, posing on cameraswith an assault rifleand deploying squads of riot police of thepeaceful protest marches. Yaroslav Likhachevsky, CEO of a medical tech startup Deepdee, was a volunteer observer during August’s presidential election in Belarus and reported rule violations on his polling station. Together with other tech entrepreneurs and civil activists he founded BYSOL after the success of another initiative, where the activists raised funds for the COVID relief in Belarus, while the authoritiesdeniedthe country was hit by the pandemic at all. Living between Belarus and Netherlands, where Deepdee is headquartered, Likhachevsky is now staying in Europe fearing persecution at home. But he hopes to “celebrate Christmas at home,” he told CoinDesk. He believes the collapse of the current political system in Belarus is inevitable, but admits the process can take much longer than several weeks, potentially stretching to years. Same with the crypto adoption. So far, there are few Belarusians using bitcoin, even though some of them have been introduced to it first by BYSOL, just like Maria Koltsyna. Most converted bitcoin to fiat immediately upon receiving help, Likhachevsky said. As a currency which deliberately expunges any notion of identity, supporting the transactions of dissidents has always been at the core of bitcoin. “Right now, people view crypto as just a tool. But this can change when we grow the ecosystem significantly, so that people start paying each other in crypto,” he said. To start this parallel economy, the BYSOL team is now joining forces with several other non-profits helping people who were punished for protesting. Among them areBy_help, helping people arrested during the rallies to pay court fines, and a peer-to-peer networkHonest People, where users can send money directly to the people in need, verified by volunteers. Together with BYSOL, these projects launched a mobile app, dubbedDigital Solidairty, that would aggregate the applications for help in one place, with a crypto wallet built in. People will be able to apply for help and get it in one place, right on their phones, and donate to help others, too, Likhachevsky said. Not that the other partners are excited about crypto, just as the BYSOL team wasn’t at first, Likhachevsky admits, but he’s planning to convince his colleagues to switch to crypto, too. A wake-up call came just weeks ago, when the Belarusian banksstarted blockingthe accounts of people By_help helped. “After this news, we had no choice but to move towards the digital economy of the future,” Likhachevsky said. Not to shock too many people with bitcoin’s volatility, the non-profit might switch totether, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, he added. BYSOL and others are preparing for a long game, even though they keep hoping victory is near. But the new infrastructure will be needed even if the protests reach their goal and Alexander Lukashenko quits, leaving the country for a new leader after 26 years of his authoritarian rule. “People will need help for some time after Lukashenko is gone,” Likhachekvsky said. “Because the economy will need some time to recover after it hasn’t been developing for 20 years.” Still, not too long to wait, he believes: “For good or bad, the wheel of history can not be stopped.” Read more:Belarus Nonprofit Helps Protestors With Bitcoin Grants In a different part of the world, the Feminist Coalition in Nigeria raised money to help people hurt by the police. The Coalition, just like the activists in Belarus, hadn’t used bitcoin until very recently. The group, aimed at promoting women’s rights in Nigeria, this fall offered help to the protestors that demanded the dismantling of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), an infamously violent police subdivision. During the widespread #EndSARS demonstrations, people got hurt, arrested and even killed, so the Feminist Coalition helped with medical care, legal aid and funeral funding.

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

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

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 companyGoldMining 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, whileTrulieve Cannabis Corporation(OTCQX:TCNNF) andGreen 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—such as gold and cryptocurrencies. Along with GLDC, theGrayscale Bitcoin Trust(OTCQX:GBTC) andGrayscale 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. The list of the top 10 most active securities for the OTCQX Market is below. Cannabis companies are denoted with an asterisk.

I understand the significance of blockchain technology and how a decentralized financial and record keeping system could change the world.\nMy question is what makes you so sure that in a year or so the price of bitcoin wont be lower than what it is now? Lets not act like that we would be this interested without the financial incentive. \nWhy wouldnt the government ban it? Why wouldnt it just fizzle out or another coin take over? \nThese are question I myself have but also are questions i keep running into. What do you guys say to that?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jklkhd/what_makes_you_so_sure_about_bitcoin_price_going/', 'jklkhd', [['u/TheGreatMuffin', 24, '2020-10-30 00:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jklkhd/what_makes_you_so_sure_about_bitcoin_price_going/gajqr26/', '> My question is what makes you so sure that in a year or so the price of bitcoin wont be lower than what it is now? \n\nThere is no guarantees to that and anyone promising any kind of price levels in the future is most likely a charlatan. \n\n> Why wouldnt the government ban it? \n\nA few reasons: \n\n* it\'s very very hard to enforce (sure you can ban on/off-ramps, but it\'s almost impossible to ban popular open source software; also it\'s non-physical and tough to confiscate or to surveil, if held/transacted "properly") \n\n* too many businesses, HNWI (High Net Worth Individuals), politicians, lobbyists etc are already involved \n\n* banning bitcoin directly is very much against govermental interests, because almost every government of the world is in direct or indirect competition with other countries\' governments, and "exploiting" bitcoin for their own interests is just more enticing than to outright ban it. It\'s like ban a tech industry: other countries will take advantage of it and you ultimately lose out. \n\nNow, that obviously doesn\'t mean that governments won\'t try to control it in other ways (I\'m very sure they\'ll try), but straight bans I don\'t see, at least not by 1st world governments. \n\n> Why wouldnt it just fizzle out or another coin take over? \n\nIt\'s been 12 years of competition with other coins... This argument is getting old, very literally. Sure, there are no guarantees regarding the future, but it just doesn\'t seem likely at all. Cryptography/cryptocurrencies involve trade offs, and bitcoin makes some hard trade offs in usability, speed, costliness etc, but it\'s not like those are simple things to solve without making other trade offs. \n\nA kinda silly but perhaps effective analogy: a tank is slow, clunky tech with limited usecases. But it has very special advantages. If you need it quick and cheap and easy, a tank is probably not the best solution; you probably would prefer a bicycle or a regular car. But if you need it secure, unstoppable and safe, you have to live with the trade offs a tank has to make by its design. It won\'t be quick or easy like a car, but if you want to go into a battle or an adversarial scenario, you surely don\'t want to be driving a car... Or a bicycle. \n\nedit: here\'s an excellent list of resources with posts/articles on the fundamental trade offs bitcoin makes and why those trade offs are important for the security/decentralization of the network: https://gist.github.com/chris-belcher/a8155df5051bb3e3aa96', 'jklkhd']]], ['u/jtoomim', 'BCHN MR !746 merged: Faster transaction relay', 109, '2020-10-30 02:58', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/jknz9k/bchn_mr_746_merged_faster_transaction_relay/', "[MR 746](https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/merge_requests/746\n) is a relatively simple code change, but it has important implications for BCH's UX and scalability.\n\ntl;dr: BCHN will now by default relay transactions 10x faster than before. This will make BCHN's transaction relay much faster than ABC, though not as fast as BU. On the flip side, BCHN will require more bandwidth than ABC at low transaction throughput rates, but less than BU. BCHN has also added the `-txbroadcastinterval` command-line option to allow node operators to configure this behavior more precisely.\n\n# Background on `inv` message batching\n\nThe inv messages for transactions are responsible for the vast majority of a node's total network traffic, since inv messages are sent per peer regardless of whether that peer needs the transaction or not. If a node is sending one inv per tx per peer, and the node has 50 peers, that results in about `120 bytes/tx/peer * 50 peers = 6000 bytes` of network traffic per transaction, or roughly 6x as much traffic as is required for receiving and sending the transaction itself (assuming a typical 500 byte transaction). In this scenario, about 2/3 of the traffic is actually protocol overhead -- mostly TCP/IP overhead, but also bitcoin p2p protocol overhead. This overhead can be mitigated with batching. Using IPv4, inv messages take up about `80 + 40n` bytes per message, where n is the number of transaction hashes being sent. This means that batching behavior can reduce the average traffic per peer per tx from around 120 bytes (for a batch size of 1) to around 44 bytes (for a batch size of 10). The way to achieve large batch sizes is to have a wait time before sending each tx inv to allow extra txs to be ready in each transmission. A batch size of 10 can be achieved with 20 tx/sec and an average wait time of 2 sec, for example.\n\nIf the wait time is mismatched with the transaction throughput rate, it can result in an increase in transaction propagation time without any substantial improvement in bandwidth efficiency. For example, the transaction throughput rate is currently about 0.25 tx/sec. If the wait time is 1 sec, then the typical`inv` message will contain only 1 tx hash. If the wait time is increased to 2 sec, then the typical `inv` message will still contain only 1 tx hash. That extra second of delay would make a difference in batch size if the transaction throughput rate were 1 tx/sec, but it makes almost no difference at 0.25 tx/sec.\n\nOn the other hand, delays like this will significantly slow down transaction propagation, and will adversely affect UX. A delay of 2 seconds per connection with 20 connections means that a node will broadcast an inv to one peer every 100 ms on average. This delay, coupled with the natural network ping times of ~100 ms, and the 1.5 round-trip time (RTT) communication needed to send a tx, means that the number of nodes who have a transaction will double roughly every (100 ms + 150 ms) = 250 ms if all network nodes used a 2 second delay with 20 peers. If the network is comprised of 8192 nodes, it would take around 3.25 seconds for a transaction to propagate through the full netowrk. This worsens BCH's UX by making transactions feel slower in 0-conf mode, and gives a much larger time window for double-spends than is desirable. Shorter delays before broadcasting `inv` messages mean a better experience for BCH users, and slightly better 0-conf security.\n\n# Changes in !746\n\nWith !746, BCHN makes two major changes:\n\n1. The default behavior for BCHN will be to wait an average of 500 ms between `inv` broadcasts, rather than 5000 ms. Furthermore, this value can be configured at the command-line with the `-txbroadcastinterval=<ms>` command-line option. Lower values (shorter delays) can accelerate transaction propagation; higher values (longer delays) can reduce upstream traffic for your node and downstream traffic for your node's peers. As before, this value halved for outgoing connections: with the default value of `-txbroadcastinterval=500`, BCHN will make on average one batched broadcast every 500 ms on incoming connections, and one every 250 ms on outgoing connections.\n\n2. BCHN also adds a new option to configure the maximum throughput for `inv` announcement messages: `-txbroadcastrate=<tx/sec/MB>`. The default value for this option is the same as before: for each 1 MB of the block size limit, BCHN will allow 7 tx/sec on incoming connections (14 tx/sec/MB on outgoing connections). The default setting of 7 allows for up to `7 tx/sec/MB * 32 MB = 224 tx/sec` of announcement throughput on incoming connections, or 448 tx/sec on outgoing connections. This allows a maximum-sized block (e.g. 32 MB) to be filled with 238-byte average sized transactions in 600 seconds via an incoming connection, or 300 seconds via an outgoing connection. Larger transaction sizes will result in less time being needed to reliably fill blocks. Most users will not need to touch this setting, as the default value is reasonable for most use cases. This limit provides protection against spam attacks while still allowing normal network operation to reliably fill blocks. However, modifying this setting can be useful in some circumstances, such as during stress tests, or for severely bandwidth-constrained applications. Users who are doing stress testing may wish to set this value very high in order to delimit tx broadcasting (e.g. `-txbroadcastrate=9999999`). Users with non-Starlink-based satellite internet (e.g. slow upstream, fast downstream) may wish to experiment with setting this to zero (i.e. `-txbroadcastrate=0`) to avoid relaying transactions, as an alternative to `-blocksonly` mode.\n\n# Comparison to other nodes\n\nBitcoin ABC and [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp#L126) use an average delay of 5 seconds between broadcasts, which makes batching start at around 0.2 tx/sec. [Bitcoin Unlimited](https://gitlab.com/bitcoinunlimited/BCHUnlimited/-/blob/dev/src/net.cpp#L2579) uses a delay of about 10 ms, so BU's batching begins at around 100 tx/sec. BCHN will now default to using a delay of about 500 ms, or b...

Nationally, thejobless rate is at 7.9%.\nTrump has a54% chance of taking Iowa, while Biden has a90% chance of getting a win in Nevada, according to FiveThirtyEight. But just because a state is doing better economically doesn’t mean it’s favored for Trump. The results are all over the broad. Nate Silver’s poll aggregator gives Trump the edge in two battleground states with higher jobless rates, Ohio (8.4%) and Texas (8.3%). While some states with lower jobless rates, in particular, Wisconsin (5.4%) and Minnesota (6.0%),are currently projected to go for Biden.\nHow did these economies get so divided?\nA lot of it boils down to what types of jobs make up the state’s economy. Look no further than tourism-heavy Nevada which saw its jobless rate soar from 3.8% in February to a staggering 30.1% in April. While Nevada has since improved to a 12.6% jobless rate, it will struggle to fully recover until Las Vegas tourism business has returned to normal—something that is unlikely to happen until the pandemic is under control.\nThe economies in industrial Midwestern states were hard hit in the spring when factories saw their production lines halt. They’ve yet to fully dig themselves out of the mess. The unemployment rates in Ohio (8.4%), Pennsylvania (8.1%), and Michigan (8.5%) are all above the national 7.9% figure. FiveThirtyEight gives Trump a55%chance of carrying Ohio, but in Pennsylvania and Michigan that chance is just14%and4%, respectively.\nThe recovery is much more swift in rural Midwestern states with heavy agricultural economies—which have rebounded relatively quickly. The jobless rate in Minnesota surged from 3.1% in February to 9.9% in May at the height of shutdowns. But as the state reopened its economy over the summer, it fell to 6.0% as of September.

By falling the way, we have, it does suggest that we are still stuck in this range, and quite frankly with the US dollar strengthening during the day, this makes quite a bit of sense. Looking at this chart, it is obvious that the $2000 level will, some issues, and I think it is only a matter of time before we will possibly attempt to get there again. However, the short term it does not look like we are ready to do so, as we are simply consolidating. Gold Price Predictions Video 16.09.20 Looking at the 50 day EMA underneath at the $1920 level, we should see plenty of support. At this point, we also have the $1900 level underneath backing up this area as support, so that is also something to pay attention to. If we break down below the $1900 level, then the $1800 level comes in the play, which is structurally supportive and could also features the 200 day EMA by the time we get down there. Because of this, it is certainly worth paying quite a bit of attention to these levels, if we get some type of bounce in any of these three specific points on the chart, we could be looking at a nice opportunity to turn around and start buying again. This will be especially true if the US dollar starts to fall again. However, if the US dollar strengthens longer-term, gold could find itself in trouble.

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

Belarus residents arefighting back against the alleged illegitimate re-electionof leader Alexander Lukashenko, otherwise known as the “last dictator of Europe,” since the election occurred Aug. 9. Lukashenko’s contested victory has led to widespread protests and violence against protestors by the military, and caused Lukashenko’s opponent to flee the country. Amid the protests, which have been ongoing, various parts of the internet were alsoshut down across the countryincluding social networks and message sites such as Telegram and Facebook, as well as some news outlets. Lukashenko has denied shutting down the internet, blaming foreign interference, butfurther reportingsuggests the government is, in fact, responsible. Related:Paxful, Citing Regulations and Its Own 'Risk Tolerance,' Exits Venezuela's P2P Bitcoin Market In anew reportshared exclusively with CoinDesk, the decentralized internet censorship testing network Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), found 86 websites were blocked in Belarus in August, including 19 communications platforms such as Telegram and encrypted email services. “These include news media, political opposition, pro-democracy, and election related websites, as well as communication and circumvention tool sites,” the report found. OONI has been working as a global community to document internet censorship and interference since 2012. Using afree and open source software it developed called OONI Probe, the organization has built a “decentralized, citizen-led, Internet censorship observatory.” Itpublishes measurementsin order to develop a public archive on network interference and increase transparency about censorship. The data for the Belarus report, for example, was gathered from OONI probe users on the ground in the country. Withrising authoritarianism around the world, information crackdowns due to COVID-19 and states constantly developing more advanced methods of suppressing information and engaging in censorship, the work OONI and the network using its software are doing has a renewed sense of urgency. Related:Belarus Nonprofit Helps Protestors With Bitcoin Grants Read more:Social Media Bans ‘Highlight the Profound Censorship on Web 2.0’ “A lot of our principles and ideas come from being cypherpunks basically,” said Arturo Filastò, a Rome-based hacker who founded and leads OONI. “The concept is that we can build tools and technology that empower people to take actions and bring about change. A core concept of that is decentralization and the fact that everybody should be able to use our tool.” Filastò was a hacker from his teen years. In a recent call with CoinDesk over Signal, he made it clear he espoused the ideas of, and aligned himself with, the cypherpunk mentality. The original idea for OONI, which Filastò now describes as more amanifesto than an academic paper, was written while he was still at the Tor Project, which maintains the Tor browser. Filastò said OONI definitely doesn’t want to be a central authority declaring how bad internet censorship is around the world. Rather, they want to empower people to document internet abuse wherever they see it. “We want to build tools that empower anybody who wants to go out and say, ‘Okay, in my country there’s something wrong with respect to how the internet is being filtered and how it’s being interfered with,’” said Filastò. The OONI probes focus not on anecdotal evidence but rather on hard, quantitative data. This approach prevents governments from claiming ignorance when they do, in fact, block something. As a result, OONI has become the world’s largest open dataset on internet censorship with millions of measurements collected from more than 200 countries since 2012. There are tens of thousands of volunteers using it on the ground in authoritarian states such as Iran, Venezuela and Malaysia, according to Filastò.

The same observations should be possible to reproduce independently, in line with standard full disclosure practice.” The OONI probe runs a number of preprogrammed tests on the network. A user can decide which ones to run and how extensive they can be. Sometimes a single test can take hours, but tests can also be broken down among a network of users in a country to be run faster. Alternatively multiple devices could be set up to run them. The OONI probe can test a wide array of factors. Read more:‘Radical Indifference’: How Surveillance Capitalism Conquered Our Lives In Belarus,blocking by internet service providers appeared to be implemented during the TLS handshake, which OONI attributes to either Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), an advanced method of tracking and managing traffic on a network, or that all traffic was going through a “proxy that blocks undesired connections,” according to the report. The Server Name Indication (SNI) is seemingly being used to decide whether to block or let connections go through, according to OONI. The SNI is the method through which you’re able to make sure you end up on the proper domain by allowing you to specify it during the TLS handshake, or when a client (your device) and a server acknowledge and verify each other before establishing a connection. It’s not just things like political or media sites that are blocked. Connections to things like virtual privacy networks (VPN) or encrypted email are also often disrupted, as these are the very tools that can be used to circumvent government censorship. Numerous proxies for the encrypted messaging app Telegram served as an organization and communication platform amid the ongoing protests in Belarus, particularly as other parts of the web were shut down. A number of privacy-preserving email providers were also blocked. OONI has a global testing website list, and country-specific lists in collaboration withCitizen Lab, a research group from the University of Toronto that studies the intersection of information and communication technologies, human rights, and global security, as well as other projects to develop metric measurements. The tests are run on the users network and the control to check it is run on an OONI server in a location known not to be facing censorship. Users can also choose what websites, or categories of websites they don’t want to test if they so choose. Filastò said OONI is dedicated to informed consent, and lets users really shape tests how they see fit. Read more:Decentralization and What Section 230 Really Means for Freedom of Speech At a high level, Filastò said when it comes to websites, users test DNS resolution and compare for consistency. A DNS (Domain Name Server) resolution is the system by which an IP address is translated to domain names. “This is a huge rabbit hole; it’s not so trivial as just matching IP addresses because of geolocation, timing, load balancing and a lot of other things,” said Filastò. “I won’t go into details, but the basic tactic is a DNS resolution and then check for consistency.” This helps determine whether they’re consistently reachable or unreachable because tests also want to eliminate the cases in which there are false positives due to the website being down for reasons other than interference or manipulation. Khairil Yusof is the coordinator for the Sinar Project in Malaysia, which started out as a volunteer effort with a few tech activists who were at the Bersih 2.0 pro-democracy rally in 2011. The group’s focus was on open government and civic tech, but under an increasingly authoritarian government they also needed to pay attention to the possibility of online censorship. They started seeing instances of censorship prior to Malaysia’s 2013 general election, and since then it’s only continued. As part of their efforts, Yusof said, they tried to build a monitoring site backed by data and tests. “We ran into problems, and that’s when we discovered that OONI was also working on the same idea and at a global scale,” said Yusof. “It was an open project [that] had done much more research into this, and we were like, ‘Great, let’s work with them and then shift our efforts to working with OONI and the OONI community.’” Read more:Privacy Startup Nym Will Pay You in Bitcoin to Run Its Mixnet Many censorship reports in the media are anecdotal, said Yusof. These anecdotal reports are then used to generate various “Internet Freedom” indices. The problem with anecdotal evidence is that it’s easy to brush off or dismiss by saying, for example, a person’s internet was slow or the site was probably down. The purpose of the Sinar Project is to verify and support anecdotal claims with hard evidence that cannot be refuted. The project focuses both on long-term data collection to track trends as well as on real-time data collection during key events like general elections. “Our testing efforts, for example, allowed us to prove that election results sites were being blocked, and which was later used by journalists to track down the official [government] request to ISPsleading to the resignationof a few people at the Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC),” said Yusof.

For Free State Project he did some voluntary work that was shunned after. For Dash he worked intensively and left in dispute with most of the community, not because he claims to have been honest where Dash was not, but because he burned down the work he had done for them and got payed for by aiming to convert Dash merchants into Bitcoin Cash merchants.\n\nWith BitcoinABC he left a sour taste, and again not because he became more honest than BitcoinABC but because he started working for the other side, thereby destroying all the work he did for them as a once loud supporter of devtax now became loud opposer of devtax, as well as using material that he was payed for to produce, as his own.\n\nMost importantly thou, he chose to work for BitcoinABC and Amaury to market IFP/devtax, when it was already clear how controversial and destructive it would be.

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

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

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

During the First World War, French equity markets accounted for 16% of the world’s equity market capitalization. Today, France is among the biggest e-commerce markets in Europe, and the market has been growing at double-digit rates, characterized by a healthy pace of economic growth in recent years. The Coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the expansion of the digital payment landscape as many have turned to online shopping and are incentivized to transact digitally due to fears of infection through personal contact. Eric Anziani Crypto.com The share of crypto consumers using crypto assets as a mode of payment in 2020 has increased considerably, with more than 4%-6% of French citizens owning crypto-assets according to published reports. The reasons for this are two-fold, first, quantitative easing by central banks has caused retail inflation worldwide, and second, as people find themselves locked in their homes, they have warmed up to new types of financial instruments and assets as a means of increasing not only their knowledge but also income. The French economy is ready for the penetration of crypto-assets and digital tokens in its everyday life as it embarks on this new era of digital wave equipped with the right mix of regulations and compliance flexibilities offered to corporations and startups by the French government. Insider Monkey: What strategy does Crypto.com have in terms of expanding its operations in the EU (European Union)? Eric Anziani: Crypto.com has seen substantial growth in Europe and we are focused on expanding our reach as we seek to accelerate the world's transition to cryptocurrency. Crypto.com’s card offerings have become the most widely available crypto card in the world with offers in Asia, the EU, the UK, and the United States. Crypto.com’s Visa card was among the first on the market since it was unveiled in Singapore in 2018 and has become the most commonly available crypto card in the world. Many consumers hold the card and enjoy a range of benefits including up to 5% cashback depending on your card tier; comprehensive range of fiat currency top-up options, including SEPA or the Single Euro Payments Area; full rebates available for Netflix, Spotify and Amazon Prime. Story continues We also continue to expand the ecosystem powered by the CRO token and our suite of products Crypto Earn, where you can earn up to 8% on deposited cryptocurrencies; Crypto Credit, where you can get an instant loan based on your crypto assets; and Crypto.com Exchange which provides deep liquidity, low fees and best execution prices. And we do all of this with a relentless focus on our consumers so that we can keep delivering quality products and services that improve their lives. Staying close to our community is important to us and we are very grateful for the support from our very engaged community. In addition to social media channels, our outreach includes Crypto.com University and Research where we regularly publish articles to help decrypt the world of crypto and unpack the latest developments in the space. For example, we worked with The Economist on a piece about the general public’s behaviors and opinions around digital payments and most recently, Boston Consulting Group on a piece about decentralised finance. Insider Monkey: To which country is Crypto.com expanding its operations first? How is the company going to on-board customers in France? Eric Anziani: Crypto.com has recently launched the French version of the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange, accompanied by the local telegram community in the French language for additional customer support. The French version of the app is the first in a series of more local language roll-outs. Why are we doing this? Humans are social beings and language plays an essential role in our communication. Crypto.com is a global company but we believe that going local will create an enhanced user experience for our customers. It is not just about personalizing language but also about understanding the cultural identity of our customers so that we can cater better to their needs. Insider Monkey: How Big is the French Market in terms of trading volume, consumer internet, and market capitalization? Eric Anziani: When talking about digital payments, card payment in France is enormous, making up for 53.9 percent of transactions. Online card usage is also projected to increase by 15.8 percent in 2021. Thus, we find that Crypto.com’s Visa cards have huge growth potential in France as the customers are already warmed up to digital payments, especially since our cards play a vital role in bridging the gap between crypto and fiat currency. In addition, we also put significant focus on a user-friendly interface where the Crypto.com App acts as a single hub to manage all of the crypto’s financial needs. With the crypto.com interface, when cards are paired with the application, customers can buy, sell, pay with, and earn crypto and get an instant loan based on collateralized funds. On the other hand, the crypto payment market is still in its infancy in France but is maturing at an accelerated pace due to political and economic developments worldwide. We do see that a number of top French labels are ready to receive cryptocurrencies . Amongst these leading brands which might embrace Bitcoin in France are several large label names, such as Sephora, Foot Locker, Decathlon, Cultura, Intersport, Norauto, Maison du Monde, Conforama, and Boulanger. For most of these firms, this is not their first effort to increase the popularity of Bitcoin in France. Therefore, alongside our crypto card operation, we continue to mature the company’s crypto payment solution for online merchants powered by our native blockchain - Crypto.com Pay. Recently we announced that Crypto.com Pay now accepts CRO payments from any ERC-20 wallet. There are an estimated 30 million+ ERC-20 wallets, which represent a massive potential market for merchants seeking to attract crypto users globally. Insider Monkey: What is the current regulatory landscape regarding crypto-assets and trading in France? Eric Anziani: The French government has adopted a soft-touch approach regarding crypto-assets in France. French Parliament passed the Pacte Act (Sales Regulations), which opened a flood of technological innovation in digital assets and blockchain. Effectively, France has helped create a much more flexible legal framework for crowdfunding, public listing and capital investment . With its current context, the Action Plan streamlines processes for service providers of digital assets operating in France. Regulatory authorities have not yet come up with digital currency-specific legislation, and they continue to caution against the risks associated with speculation. However lawmakers appear likely to accept Bitcoin. And with so many retailers prepared to accept payments in Bitcoin, we see an underlying change in the digital payments landscape in France.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Crypto.com Coin and Polkadot bucked the trend early on, with gains of 1.16% and 0.17% respectively. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink was down by 1.00% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,799 to bring the first major resistance level at $14,297 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s $14,066.0 high. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $14,300 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $14,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $14,564. Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,799 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,532 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$13,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $13,034.

The move has invited mixed reactions from veterans of the digital assets space. Not Real Bitcoin:Some experts were left unamused over what they judged to be significant restrictions in place on how the cryptocurrency in a Paypal account can be withdrawn or transferred to other users. Compound Labs General Counsel Jake Chervinskyquestionedif users can't hold their own keys, "is it even Bitcoin?" Blockchain.com CEO Peter Smith said in an emailed statement to Benzinga that Paypal had taken an “inflexible approach.” “While we’re excited to see a new audience gain access, a non-custodial approach limits opportunity to self-custody your [cryptocurrency] or transact freely,” said Smith. Buzz Around Numbers:PayPal says it has 346 millionactive accountsand processed payments to the tune of $222 billion in 3.7 billion transactions in the second quarter. Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya suggested PayPal's move could spur further adoption by banks. CryptoCompare CEO Charles Hayter told CoinDesk that while PayPal’s Bitcoin foray may not be ideal for libertarians “being pragmatic about bitcoin’s trajectory and global adoption penetration rate, this certainly brings more options.” Jason Deane, an analyst at Quantum Economics termed PayPal’s move as “extremely significant” and said it would expand the cryptocurrency’s “reach at a vastly accelerated level, as well as “drive the development of additional services,” Decrypt reported. Validation Among Some:There is a sense of validation among some, seeing the increased mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. “Many early [cryptocurrency] believers, myself included, were de-platformed and censored for buying bitcoin on PayPal, I have a strong sense of vindication seeing them finally come around to the inevitability of cryptocurrency,” Blockchain.com's Smith said. Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp said, “You can ignore Bitcoin for a while, but not forever.” PayPal Treading Caution:Jerry Brito, executive director of Coin Center, told CoinDesk that it is possible that demand for Bitcoin transactions “is not as high” and that perhaps most people want to simply buy and hold the cryptocurrency. Brito admitted that while PayPal did not have to limit transactions to be compliant with regulations, there are gray areas in the Financial Action Task Force’s Travel Rule and in anti-money laundering enforcement. “People are finally developing solutions to comply with [the Travel Rule] but [PayPal is] not there yet,” said Brito. “The easiest thing to do is not engage in transfer and take on that compliance risk,” he added, pointing to the fact that cryptocurrencies would probably be a small part of PayPal’s business. Stephen Palley, a partner at the Anderson Kill law firm, told Coindesk that PayPal is “going to be cautious, and they’re going to roll it out slowly.” Nevertheless, there's no convincing the most ardent believers of the decentralized currency. “Don't let PayPal hold your precious bitcoin,” Lopp told his Twitter followers.

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

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

Here’s all the news people are talking about in crypto today. Corporate DeFi?R3’s open-source variation of its enterprise blockchain, Corda Network, will see the addition ofa native cryptocurrency.The new coin, called XDC, will open the gates to build central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and decentralized finance applications (DeFi) on the network. Programmed by the Cordite Society, a group of former bankers building decentralized tools, the XDC system will have compliance baked in to meet anti-money laundering (AML) standards, as every node represents a legal entity, CoinDesk’s Ian Allison reports. The Cordite Network is welcoming new members to vote on the rate of supply of XDC and other points of governance going forward. Ironic outcomeUniswap’s first voting process demonstrated the need tooverhaul its governance system,Dharma CEO Nadav Hollander has said, following a “disappointing outcome.” The vote was over reducing the token threshold required to make and pass proposals on the protocol. Despite 98% of the votes cast being in favor of a proposed change, the total number needed for a successful vote fell short of the 40 million required by about 400,000. A successful vote would have seen this requirement drop by around a third. Hollander also said the vote “galvanized users to delegate in much higher numbers,” which was a “healthy outcome for Uniswap.” Related:First Mover: PayPal Rushes in and Bitcoin Breaches $12K, While USDC Gains on Tether Dirty moneyRobinhood-esque hackers who stole from corporations to give to charities have seen theirdonations rebuked.Members of the hacking group Darkside attempted to givebitcoindonations to two non-profits, Children International and The Water Project. The group used ransomware to steal from profitable companies with the intention of giving “some of the money” to charity, according to a BBC report citing a darknet blog. To make the donations, the cybercriminals used the service offered by The Giving Block, a U.S.-based project that converts donations into dollars for charities not set up to handle cryptocurrencies. “If the donation is linked to a hacker, we have no intention of keeping it,” Children International said. CBDC platformLINE Corporation, operator of the popular messaging app, is jumping into the CBDC game with aplatform to allow central banks to develop digital currencies.The platform reportedly will help central banks develop customized, blockchain-based CBDCs by offering tools to issue digital tokens, tokenize assets and run decentralized applications (known as dapps). LINE is not alone. Mastercard recently released a platform allowing central banks to test how proposed digital currencies would work in real life. A LINE representative told South Korean newspaper Chosun that “major” Asian nations are already in discussions with the firm, though they could not disclose which ones. Deposit growthDeposits at crypto-friendly Signature Bank grew by$4.11 billion,an 8% increase, in the third quarter of 2020. Over the past year, deposits have grown by $15.28 billion, or nearly a 40% increase, according to the bank’s earnings release. Signature reports $54.34 billion in total deposits. “Crypto firms are often a rich source of low-cost deposits for the few banks that openly serve the sector.

Related:First Mover: Monero Leads Privacy-Coin Rally as Bitcoin Trips on Path to $12K Bitcoin mixers are services designed to anonymize the source of funds. The U.S. financial watchdog hailed these civil charges as the “first” action against a bitcoin mixer. It was also said to be the first time the U.S. Department of Justice explicitly called bitcoin mixing a “crime,” casting a shadow on any service that obscures bitcoin’s publicly accessible path, CoinDesk’s Danny Nelson reported. Prosecutors allege Harmon ran the unregistered money services business Helix from 2014 to 2017, conducting 1,225,000 transactions for customers and is “associated with virtual currency wallet addresses that have sent or received over $311 million.” From 2017 on, prosecutors say Harmon provided money transmission services via Coin Ninja. Each of these transactions are said to be in violation of the Banking Secrecy Act. Prosecutors also said Harmon had a responsibility to file suspicious activity reports and systemically flouted U.S. money laundering laws. “If you’re in the crypto space you’re about to become as familiar with the BSA as you think you are with the 33 and 34 acts and the Howey test,”Stephen Palley, a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Anderson Kill, tweeted. “Each one of these violations is a separate violation of the BSA. That is why the penalty is so massive.” “The max penalty is $209,144,554. That’s a gobsmackingly enormous number because BSA non-compliance is heavily penalized and because FinCEN really really wants you to comply and really really wants you to be in pain if you don’t comply,”Drew Hinkes, an attorney with Carlton Fields, tweeted. Harmon also faces criminal proceedings in U.S. federal court. • Blockchain Bites: Bitcoin and the BSA, Signature Deposit Growth, Darknet Crypto Donors • Blockchain Bites: Bitcoin and the BSA, Signature Deposit Growth, Darknet Crypto Donors... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Polish_Sensation', 'What alts are you considering as your safest bets for 2021?', 24, '2020-11-05 04:49', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jobqqt/what_alts_are_you_considering_as_your_safest_bets/', 'I have an alt portfolio that is very 2018, where I got dominated loading up on projects like Tron, Neo, NCash and Substratum at the cycle’s peak (😂 at me).\n\nChanged my strategy and began focusing on accumulating as much Bitcoin as possible.

Whether that's necessarily next year, I do not know. However, in the long run I believe that demand for a pure cryptocurrency that compares very favorably to Bitcoin when it comes to transactions will increase, all the more so when transaction fees for Bitcoin shoot up and transaction times shoot up with it. It's almost an advertisement for Nano, and I think that that is going to work out positively.\n\nOn top of that, there are a lot of cool developments happening in Nano that make me optimistic about the future. WeNano is getting quite some attention, store owners could use this to get crypto-enthusiasts to come check out their store.

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

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

Be it corporations or central banks – all are mulling over the greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies. Notably, bitcoin is up about 80% this year as cryptocurrencies are drawing considerable attention this year. Bitcoin crossed the mark of $12,000 lately and marked its highest level since July 2019 on Oct 21. On Oct 21,PayPal Holdings IncPYPL announced that it will allow customers to hold bitcoin and other virtual coins in its online wallet and shop using cryptocurrencies at the 26 million merchants on its network. The new service makes PayPal one of the largest U.S. companies to provide consumers access to cryptocurrencies. This is great news for bitcoin and rival cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin jumped about 7% on Oct 21 on the PayPal news. PayPal competitorSquareSQ launched support for bitcoin back in 2018 through its Cash app. Square also bought $50 million in bitcoin this month as part of larger investment in cryptocurrency. However, PayPal is broadening the area by supporting bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. PayPal also plans to extend support to its money-sending subsidiary Venmo and international markets starting in the first half of 2021. For now, the plan is only to support U.S. users. Notably, U.S. account holders will be able to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies in their PayPal wallets over the coming weeks, the company said, as quoted on Reuters. Other companies those accept bitcoins includeMicrosoftMSFT,AT&TT,Dish Network(DISH)Burger King,Domino’s PizzaDPZ,Goldman Sachs(GS),Intuit Inc.(INTU), American online retailer Overstock,Shopify(SHOP),Virgin Galactic(SPCE),Zynga(ZNGA) andEtsy(ETSY) among others. Several central banks are considering the rollout of CBDCs lately. China has been taking serious moves toward no-touch payments. In efforts to match with China, seven major central banks last week set the key principles for issuing CBDCs, per Reuters. China's recent experimental $1.5 million (1.16 million pounds) giveaway of digital yuan to Shenzhen citizens received kudos from currency analysts. Sweden’s Central Bank, Riksbank is also conducting a pilot project with Accenture to prepare e-krona. The European Central Bank (ECB) is mulling over the rollout of a "digital euro" for the 19-nation currency club. The ECB launched a public consultation on a potential digital euro on Oct 12. In its 2020-2024 strategic plan, the Bank of Spain also said that it will focus on design proposals for a central bank digital currency. On Oct 19, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve, said that the Fed is committed to considering a CBDC but made no final call on it. The Fed wants “to get it right than be first,” said Jerome Powell. “One set of experiments is being carried out at the board of governors here in Washington, D.C.,” Powell said. Investors can choose to invest in options like blockchain ETFs. Per a source, “the blockchain in Bitcoin literally acts [as] a ledger; it keeps track of the balances for all users and updates them as money changes hands.” “Invented to host bitcoin, today many other cryptocurrencies are also based on blockchain technology.” So, since investors cannot lay their hands on a digital currency ETF now, they can definitely familiarize with the concept through blockchain ETFs likeReality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETFBLCN,Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETFBLOK andFirst Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETFLEGR. Also, ETFs offering exposure to the blockchain ecosystem via semiconductor companies that make chips for bitcoin mining (or could make for some potential CBDCs) can be played.

I have been in a long running\n\nmargin trade on Poloniex for several months on Stellar Lumens (XLM) also known as STRBTC. I have\n\nbeen adding margin to this trade for some time to keep it afloat, trusting that eventually the price\n\nwill rebound.\n\nOn the evening of 27th October @ 18:04 there was a flash crash that took the Stellar price down to\n\n106 sats from +-600 sats before the price rebounded back to where it was. This move instantly\n\nliquidated my position as the Polo liquidation engine is based on Last Traded Price (no index or fair\n\nmarket price system similar to that of Bitmex for example). You can see in the attached image an\n\nexample of what this looked like on the chart.\n\n[STRBTC Chart](https://imgur.com/a/cnK09Wp)\n\nI contacted Poloniex support to find out what had happened. You can see there response below.\n\nHonestly, sounds like a load of bullshit to me.\n\n[Poloniex Email](https://imgur.com/a/qvuN4yz)\n\nTo which my response was as follows:\n\n“Thanks for your swift response and what you have done so far. I do however feel that this is dishonest on the exchange's part as they have essentially forced me to then close my trade at 624 sats at a massive loss. This is not something I clearly would have ordinarily done as I have been adding margin to the trade to keep it afloat for some time. It means that the exchange has interfered in my trade beyond the ordinary scope of what they would do so. I believe that the correct thing to do would be to restore my original trade in place at your quoted price of 624 sats.”\n\nI have since been in touch with a handful of people that were affected in the same crash and they have received similar responses from the Polo support team and have also since been ignored for any follow up.\n\nNow that this has happened to me, I decided to do more research into it and found that this exact same thing has occurred several times on Poloniex. Links for more info below on these other instances:\n\n(will post in comments)\n\nInterestingly, the STR wallet was down several days prior to the crash and almost immediately went down for maintenance again straight after (trying to prevent people from leaving with currency for some reason perhaps?). It honestly feels like everything they do is underhanded and leaves me questioning whether or not perhaps they instigated this flash crash to fish for liquidations themselves.\n\nMy questions for the forum are as follows:\n\n1. Do you agree that Polo is at fault/admitted fault and that I am justified in wanting them to either reinstate my margin trade or some alternative for recompensation?\n2. Has this happened to you in any way and if so, did Polo reimburse you or are you being affected by the same Stellar Flash Crash?\n3. Do I have any grounds for wanting to claim recompensation for what has happened?\n\nTL;DR: Get your coins off of Poloniex. I feel that they have scammed me out of currency and many others that I have been in contact with; they're liquidity is shocking. You WILL be liquidated by flash crashes.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jpgbh0/if_you_are_in_a_margin_trade_on_poloniex_get_out/', 'jpgbh0', [['u/PM_pregnantgoat', 13, '2020-11-07 01:04', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jpgbh0/if_you_are_in_a_margin_trade_on_poloniex_get_out/gbeihsu/', 'Margin trading is gambling and addicting.

So you’ve effectively been in a months-long counter trend? That’s what it reads like, since you’ve been keeping it afloat with hopium.\n\nHad you been on the right side of the trade, read the market, do some homework on the chart etc and gotten in a short, that wick would’ve brought tears of joy.\n\nIt’s just not smart to counter trade; if you get good at trading you should know what the chart is saying and get out as soon as it’s clear you’ve made a bad move. Instead of doing that, or having a stop, you’re now liquidated.\n\nI know people who used a counter-trend bot that works extremely well if the market is ranging or only trending slightly, so it was going well for a much if this year.\nThen this recent BTC pump started about 3 weeks ago and people got liquidated losing anywhere between 0.3-3BTC.\n\nDoing a counter trend trade and trying to average your entry and all that is just.not.smart. Get out quick or use stops and go back to the drawing board.\n\nThe exchange won’t give you anything, these wicks happen often, and they used to ripple out from BitMex before their volume dropped with the US charges, but every exchange would get a version of it.', 'jpgbh0']]], ['u/msafi', 'Comparing 2020 halving price movement with 2016', 93, '2020-11-07 02:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jpi49h/comparing_2020_halving_price_movement_with_2016/', "I made a webpage with a couple of live interactive charts to compare the 2020 post-halving price with 2016 halving.\n\nIt's interesting that this cycle has so far been tracking the 2016 cycle pretty closely.

These reports include the AIG Manufacturing Index, ANZ Job Advertisements, Building Approvals, AIG Construction Index, Retail Sales and Trade Balance.\nThe economic data came out too late to affect the major decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), but it was good enough to boost confidence that the economy was moving in the direction and with some help from the RBA could turn the corner rather quickly.\nLast week, theAUD/USDsettled at .7260, up 0.0232 or +3.30%.\nThe Australian Industry Group Australian Performance ofManufacturing Indexincreased by 9.6 points to 56.3 in October, indicating expanding conditions for the first time since July.\nAustralia’s manufacturing industries grew solidly in October with production employment sales and exports all moving convincingly into growth territory. Once again, the large food & beverages sector led the way with strong contributions from machinery & equipment manufacturers and with support from firmer growth in the textiles, clothing, footwear, paper & printing group. The chemicals sector stabilized in October while the pace of contraction eased in both the metal products and building materials sectors.\nRespondents across all sectors noted a jump in sales and new orders as a result of pent up demand from the initial activity restrictions. The jump into expansion was driven by large improvements in New South Wales, which rose into expansion, and Victoria, which remained in contraction but improved from a deep contraction in September.\nAi Group Chief Executive Innes Willox said:\xa0 “With the quantity of fiscal support easing in October and with the tax cuts only just starting to flow through, the lift of sales and the strong growth of new orders are particularly encouraging signs of improving household and business confidence. The solid national performance was achieved despite another month of contraction in Victoria. With restrictions in Victoria being lifted there are very good prospects of further strength in the closing months of 2020,” Mr. Willox said.\nFor a look at all of today’s economic events, check out oureconomic calendar.\nThisarticlewas originally posted on FX Empire\n• Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Next Challenge for Buyers is $1970.10 – $1998.20 Retracement Zone\n• E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM) Futures Technical Analysis – Needs to Hold 27741 to Sustain Momentum\n• Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – November 7th, 2020\n• European Equities: A Week in Review – 06/11/20\n• Bitcoin Enters New Bullish Cycle, Aiming for New All-Time Highs\n• The Week Ahead – U.S Politics, COVID-19, and Brexit Likely to Overshadow Data', 'Although most eyes were on the U.S. elections and most of last week\x92s rally was fueled by increased demand for higher risk assets, there were also economic reports released that may have had a slight influence on the price action.

She was making 230k last year as a senior manager, and should be able to get a position making at least 200k when she returns to the job market (which theoretically should add another 150k or so to our retirement fund)\n\nSo, back to my idea - The 100k would essentially be about 15ish% of our "liquid" cash (we have about 300+k in property equity, plus 25k in btc and maybe 20k in other investments).\n\nWe would of course be paying a 10% penalty, plus the 30% income tax on the 100k 401k withdrawal, so right off the bat that 100k has already dropped in value to 60k....\n\nWhat do you think - is it worth the risk?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jq0ss4/im_thinking_about_doing_the_unthinkable/', 'jq0ss4', [['u/[deleted]', 93, '2020-11-08 00:28', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jq0ss4/im_thinking_about_doing_the_unthinkable/gbij17n/', 'Delete all your financial info.

It offered a high return. \n\n401ks made sense when you could save and get a decent interest rate. Now, it is no better than letting strangers gamble with your money, "investing" it in god knows where. \n\nOne of the biggest reasons they can\'t let this bubble deflate, and keep pumping all this money into the economy, is because they can\'t let retirement plans fail to grow at a pace higher than inflation.

The firm expects incremental delivery and deployment of its new machines through the end of Q2 2021. Concurrent with an increase in mined bitcoin and the leading cryptocurrency’s 114% year-to-date rally, Riot’s cryptocurrency corporate liquidity grew from $7.2 million in Q2 to $9 million in Q3.

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. Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said Sept. 29 the hackers had already exchanged millions of stolen tokens for $7.5 million in ETH on the decentralized exchanges Kyber Network and Uniswap.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) has granted the first “conditional BitLicense” to PayPal, a regulatory arrangement where interested companies can operate in the state’s “virtual currency marketplace” by working with already chartered firms. “DFS will continue to encourage and support financial service providers to operate, grow, remain and expand in New York and work with innovators to enable them to germinate and test their ideas,” the watchdog said. Many in the industry see this as a year-defining event that could rapidly expand crypto’s pool of potential users. Others take umbrage that the payments firm will not initially allow users to transfer crypto outside of the PayPal network. “You own the cryptocurrency you buy on PayPal but will not be provided with a private key,” the company wrote in a help post. Another allocationMode Global Holdings, a London Stock Exchange-listed company, has announced plans to make a“significant purchase”of bitcoin as part of its treasury investment strategy. The fintech group said it will convert up to 10% of its cash reserves into the cryptocurrency as part of a long-term strategy to “protect investors’ assets from currency debasement.” “Faced with the challenges of COVID-19 and with U.K. interest rates at the lowest level in the Bank of England’s 326-year history, our confidence in the long-term value of bitcoin has only increased,” said Jonathan Rowland, Mode’s executive chairman. Related:First Mover: The FOMO Takes Over as PayPal Play Sparks Bitcoin Rally to $13K It’s officialThe Central Bank of the Bahamas hasofficially launched its national digital currency,the sand dollar, an attempt to reduce the friction of bringing financial services to its dispersed, and often underbanked, population. This marks the first official deployment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), which will be rolled out initially to private-sector banks and credit unions. Personal wallets are secured with multi-factor authentication security and will be mobile-based, servicing the 90% of the population with smartphones. The sand dollar is backed 1:1 to the Bahamian dollar (BSD), which, in turn, is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Future bulls?Bitcoin futures traders aresignificantly less bullish as bitcoin traded past $12,000Tuesday compared to when bitcoin reached the same level nearly two months ago. When bitcoin traded near $12,000 throughout August, finally reaching the key level mid-month, funding rates for perpetual futures turned acutely positive across leading derivative exchanges, reflecting the market’s bullishness. As bitcoin revisited $12,000 Tuesday, however, funding rates reacted differently, staying flat or turning negative, indicating a lack of the same bullishness two months ago. Decentralization metricA New York law firm unveiled a new metric to test thedecentralization of particular blockchainprojects. Called the “Ketsal Open Standards” rubric, the toolkit, developed by the Ketsal law firm, outlines 33 data points – including node count, GitHub statistics and measurements of the inter-node communication times – to weigh the distribution of a network. The lawyers looked to Bitcoin as the benchmark. “It’s a tool to push along an informed discussion on what you’re talking about when you’re saying, ‘my network is decentralized,’” Ketsal partner Josh Garcia said.

A proposed fine of $5 million, 5% of the $100 million raised in the 2017 token sale that sparked the battle, is regarded as being relatively light, all things considered. Tim Swanson, head of market intelligence at clearmatics, noted the penalty – if approved – would be in line with another high-profile lawsuit and settlement from last year: Block.one’s $24 million paid for a $4.1 billion unregistered securities offering. More pattern pieces were placed earlier this year when Telegram paid a fine and abandoned its blockchain-based network. Kik, however, plans to keep its Kin network alive, with promises to alert the watchdog of any future token sales. For many,including CoinDesk,Kik’s persistence in fighting the SEC was a laudable effort. In 2019, Ted Livingston, Kik CEO, was named Most Influential for his determination to bring the fight to court, potentially creating a precedent for how token sales might be treated under U.S. securities law. Pressure mounted in recent months, especially after a judge found Kik’s ICO in clear violation of the Howey Test, the gold standard to determine whether an asset is a security. Kik General Counsel Eileen Lyon said the SEC should create clear rules for the crypto industry, rather than publish “conflicting statements” and other non-binding forms of guidance in September. It’s a statement we’ve heard before. • Blockchain Bites: PayPal’s Play, Mode’s Bitcoin Buy, CoinDesk’s Most Influential Needs Your Vote • Blockchain Bites: PayPal’s Play, Mode’s Bitcoin Buy, CoinDesk’s Most Influential Needs Your Vote... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/RedWineBlackPiano', 'My wife is actually pushing me to buy even more bitcoin', 50, '2020-11-11 00:27', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/', 'Anybody else recognise this ?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/', 'jrwag9', [['u/Frednn', 19, '2020-11-11 01:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/gbvw7a5/', 'Be aware of her probable "snaps" when the next 30% drop hits the market.', 'jrwag9'], ['u/sonicode', 69, '2020-11-11 01:29', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/gbvwscu/', 'Her boyfriend is a bitcoiner', 'jrwag9'], ['u/3DprintRC', 17, '2020-11-11 01:46', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jrwag9/my_wife_is_actually_pushing_me_to_buy_even_more/gbvyn8y/', 'Nice.

Stocks are up Wednesday despite the lack of a confirmed winner as yet in the U.S. presidential election. “Equities are unmoved by the uncertainty, rallying in the face of two possible outcomes,” GSR’s Kramer added. • The Nikkei 225 ended the day in the green 1.7% aspositive economic data out of Asia is signaling economic expansion. • Europe’s FTSE 100 closed up 1.6% astepid manufacturing data from October trounced investors’ concerns about Trump’s premature declaration of election victory. • In the United States the S&P 500 climbed 2.2% astech stocks made gains despite apprehension over the presidential election. Jason Lau, chief operating officer for San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange OKCoin, said he is not convinced that bitcoin’s jump Wednesday has anything to do with the election’s outcome. “While all eyes are on the election, it’s too early to attribute bitcoin’s gains to it in terms of the macro policy impact from either candidate,” Lau told CoinDesk.

Bitcoiners, as is often the case, remain bullish nevertheless. “Too many people believe the election can stop the crypto uptrend,”Token Metrics’ Noble said. “A strong desire for economic freedom and the emergence of inflation drives the uptrend in crypto. Those trends are in motion, and they will remain in motion regardless of who occupies the White House.” “My opinion is BTC will go up regardless of who wins this election in the short- to mid-term,” noted Alessandro Andreotti, an over-the-counter crypto trader. One signal for bullish sentiment: Overnight, over 6,700 CME bitcoin futures contracts traded (33,500 equivalent BTC), 75% more than what has been observed year to date and more than double the volume observed since launch, according to a representative from CME.

Meanwhile, fees on the Ethereum network, required to conduct transactions and interact with decentralized finance, or DeFi, continue to be lower. On Nov. 1, average transaction fees dipped as low as 0.00229753 ETH. Ben Chan, vice president of engineering for oracle provider Chainlink, says this data suggests despite the growth in 2020, there is currently less demand on the Ethereum network as interest in DeFi has seemingly waned. “What this could mean is people are less urgent to get transactions in, they’re willing to wait longer,” he told CoinDesk.

Limitations on Bitcoin’s composability have historically made it difficult to use it in the smart contracts that power peer-to-peer exchange platforms and instead require traders to swap the native coin for a wrapped version elsewhere, such as on a CEX, before moving it to a smart contract powered service like CryptoLocally – often adding in extra fees, custody risk, and KYC requirements. The partnership with Swingby will enable traders to send native Bitcoins through Cryptolocally. Incoming native Bitcoins will be routed through Swingby’s trustless “Bitcoin to Binance-chain” bridge “SkyBridge”, allowing for the BEP2 1:1 pegged assets to be used within the platform’s escrow smart contract. This will remove the need for third party custody exchanges and enable a long awaited feature for the CryptoLocally community that currently transact over $350k USD per month on the platform. Swingby’s advanced threshold-signature and MPC technology will enable the Cryptolocally to support the most liquid digital assets in the world, including Bitcoin, the $200 Billion market cap asset. CryptoLocally Co-Founder and chief engineer Jae Chung described the Swingby Skybridge as “the missing piece” needed in order to achieve the goal of offering even more token variety for trading, adding, “Swingby's Skybridge matches CryptoLocally's mantra perfectly — fast and non-custodial. We're very excited to bring this partnership to life and improve the trading experience for our users.“ Internal estimates predict that the addition of the native Bitcoin chain to the platform could conservatively triple the monthly trading volumes sending them over $1m USD per month. “We see ourselves as the ‘enablers’ of DeFi. Bridging together decentralised protocols and bringing the most liquid digital asset in the world, Bitcoin, into the ecosystem is our main mission. Our partnership with Cryptolocally is a great step in that direction and we are really excited to begin working with their team. By providing a trustless bridge between native Bitcoin and Binance-chain for each trade, the Swingby protocol can expect to process a few million dollars a month in baseline transaction volume and bring those volumes to our node stakers, whilst also facilitating more Bitcoin adoption on the CryptoLocally platform.” said Yusaku Senga, the founder and CEO of Swingby, adding “Once we have fully integrated our new groundbreaking one-round signing cryptography, and integrate Lighting Network in 2021, peer-to-peer trade times could be reduced to minutes or even seconds, giving the CryptoLocally platform a huge competitive advantage in the space.” About CryptoLocally CryptoLocallyis a leading P2P cryptocurrency trading platform. Our platform is non-custodial and uses a smart contracts escrow to provide additional security to users. Throughout the trading process no third party, including CryptoLocally, will have full control of the users’ crypto assets. That way, CryptoLocally remains a truly decentralised trading platform. The platform recently released a DeFi feature that allows users to earn interest on ETH, DAI, USDT, USDC, and GIV, our native token. Integrating the trading platform with DeFi capabilities and designing both to be easy to use have turned CryptoLocally into a viable pathway to financial inclusion for the 1.7 billion people still living without access to financial services. CryptoLocally recently closed a private sale of our native token, GIV. Investors includedFTX,IOSG Ventures,NGC Ventures,Genesis Block, andOne Block Capital. The GIV public sale will be held soon. About Swingby Swingby Labswas launched in Singapore in 2018 by a group of crypto enthusiasts joining forces to make the tools to connect Bitcoin with other blockchains.Swingby’s bridge protocol,Skybridge, builds trustless bridges between BTC, Ethereum, Binance Chain and other blockchains secured by a network of nodes that execute fast token swaps using layer 2 ‘multi-party computing’ technology. Skybridge allows users to move Bitcoin tokens between the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Chain blockchains without relying on a central custodian, opening up a world of DeFi capabilities such as liquidity pooling and trading with easy to use UX. Users can swap their coins across chains using self-custody wallets and there's no logins or KYC. The Skybridgetestnet bridgehas transactedover $14 Billionin testnet BTC capital between the Bitcoin and Binance Chain blockchains, and its decentralized technology has been fully battle tested in live high volume environments.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.29% to $16,261.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $16,315.0 before falling to a low $16,207.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $16,481.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $16,762 and resistance at $17,000. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $16,255 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,028 into play.

In doing so, it gutted some of Bitcoin’s key features; now, it’s worse off for it. One of these features, the so-called pay-to-script hash (P2SH) function, allows a user to send a transaction by signing it to a “script” rather than a public key address. These scripts create special conditions that must be met in order to access thebitcoinssent to them, and they are most often used in multisignature transactions – or, transactions that require more than one party to approve. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Drops as Low as $14.8K; ETH Options Open Interest at Record High Before P2SH transactions came to Bitcoin in 2012, Bitcoin’s only transaction type would send payments to a public key address through the pay-to-public-key-hash (P2PKH) function. Bitcoin Core developer and former Blockstream CTOGregory Maxwellpostedon Reddit’s r/bsvthat BSV developers removed the P2SH feature some time ago from the BSV blockchain’s code. In the ElectrumSV wallet (“and presumably elsewhere,” Maxwell says in the post), developers replaced the feature with a bootleg, BSV-specific version called“accumulator multisig”that utilized P2PKH transactions instead. There’s a reason Bitcoin uses P2SH for multisig and not P2PKH, because the latter is not ideal for multisignature transactions. It’s so insecure, in fact, that BSV holders are losing funds, Maxwell says in the post. Related:Buggy Code in This Compound Finance Fork Just Froze $1M in Ethereum Tokens “These scripts had no security at all,” he explains. According to Maxwell, the code’s architects only checked to see if the multisig transactions would work with the exact number of private keys needed to send the transaction (a multisig wallet requires more than one private key to authorize a transaction). They did not test transactions if more or fewer keys than necessary are present. In his testing, Maxwell found two significant problems: first, that multisig spends fail if more than the minimum number of keys sign a transaction. Second, anyone could tap the multisig funds “with too few signatures (such as none at all).” Read more:In Big Block Hard Fork, Craig Wright’s Bitcoin Has Left Nodes Behind One BSV user, Aaron Zhou,lost600BSVto anattack exploiting this weaknesson his multisignature wallet. When enquiring about the loss to a developer in a BSV chatroom, Zhou said that he trusted “it was safe enough” because “it was introduced by CoinGeek,” a pro-BSV media outlet bankrolled by Calvin Ayre, a close friend of BSV creator Craig Wright. By way of response, a developer in the chat chastised Zhou by saying he should only have committed “small amounts” to the wallet. With a tone of frustration in his post, Maxwell said that “the error could have been avoided with even the most basic testing or review.” The fiasco is a reminder that cryptocurrency development comes with trade-offs and requires diligence. BSV’s founders and proponents have marketed it as payments-focused coin with massive block sizes and blisteringly fast transaction times. To achieve these properties, BSV developers chose to strip Bitcoin’s code of key features. As evidenced by the multisig fiasco, this can come at the expense of security. When money is on the line, you can’t move fast and break things. Often criticized as a slow-grinding, too-conservative process, Bitcoin development often proceeds with the principles of caution and precision in mind. Unsurprisingly, as a Bitcoin Core developer Maxwell favors this methodical approach over the perfunctory one. “This situation would have been avoided entirely had BSV not ripped out the competent, time-tested and highly peer-reviewed mechanisms for multisig by Bitcoin in favor of far less efficient home-brew crypto,” said Maxwell. “Kinda makes you wonder what amazing bugs are lurking in their node software or wallets. I can say for sure: I’m not going to run any of it and risk finding out.” Developers at ElectrumSV have not yet returned answers to questions from CoinDesk. • Flaw in Bitcoin SV Multisig Wallet Puts Funds at Risk • Flaw in Bitcoin SV Multisig Wallet Puts Funds at Risk... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/nullbio', "I'm setting up WeNano hotspots in schools", 120, '2020-11-14 00:19', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/jtqyjq/im_setting_up_wenano_hotspots_in_schools/', "I've just purchased $500 worth of Nano to start setting up hotspots in WeNano at schools.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.54% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.08% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $16,057.0. It was a bearish day. Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $16,315.0 to a late afternoon intraday low $15,715.0.

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

At the time of writing a single bitcoin was valued at more than $13,650, up from a low of $5,000 six months earlier and down from its heights of nearly $20,000. For investors interested in this borderline unique asset, either as a currency oras an investment, bitcoins can be bought online, at an ATM and even in person. Here’s what you need to know about each of these options. But first, a quick introduction to Bitcoin. It’s avirtual money or cryptocurrencythat is created and exchanged independent of the banking system or government authority. Bitcoins are made througha process called “mining”that involves the use of computers to solve extremely difficult mathematical equations. Once the problem has been solved, the computer generates a specific number sequence that’s assigned to the bitcoin. Bitcoins get their value – which can vary drastically – based on supplyand demand. What Is Buying a Bitcoin? A bitcoin is built on a database that uses a coding format called “blockchain.”Blockchaindatabases allow the user to store information in a secure manner that supports both public and private information. Put in other words, one of the unusual features of a blockchain database is that third parties can see the information stored in the database without being able to change that data. A single bitcoin is known as a token. This token is not a physical asset. Rather, the Bitcoin database has recorded that a specific number of tokens exist. When you buy a token, the database then adds an entry to indicate that you now own this given token. So, for example, if you were to buy token ABC123, the database would then update so its record read: • Token ABC123 Owned by Previous Owner • Token ABC123 Previous Owner Transfers to New Owner • Token ABC123 Owned by New Owner Everyone in the world can see who owns Token ABC123, but the Bitcoin database will only allow the token’s current owner to transfer it (again, by editing the ownership information). When you buy a bitcoin token what you receive is that token’s private key. This is an alphanumeric string that allows you to access and edit the ownership of a bitcoin token. Like cash, whoever holds the private key of a bitcoin token functionally holds the token itself. If the key is stolen, you can’t stop someone from spending that token any more than you could stop them from spending a stolen $100 bill. How to Buy Bitcoins There are three common ways to buy and sell bitcoins. Through a Website The most common way to buy bitcoins, and any other cryptocurrency or blockchain token, is through what’s known as a cryptocurrency “exchange.” Exchanges are online marketplaces where people buy and trade cryptocurrency tokens. There are a large number of exchanges and most of them specialize in different aspects of this industry. For example, some exchanges will specialize in utility tokens (blockchain products designed to be used with a software network) while others will specialize in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (blockchain tokens designed exclusively as currencies). For beginners, CoinBase is a popular and well-known cryptocurrency exchange on which you can buy and sell bitcoins.Robinhood, an online brokerage, also has a crypto component to its platform that allows investors to buy bitcoins. In October 2020, PayPal announced it would allow its users to buy and sell bitcoins. Using an exchange is the most secure way that you can trade bitcoins. When you use one, you will first create what’s known as a wallet. Your wallet will hold the private keys that give you access to your bitcoins and other blockchain tokens. Different exchanges will give you different options for how to store your wallet, but the most common option is simply to keep the wallet stored on the exchange’s servers. You will then link up a payment method, typically through direct draft froma bank account. It is still unusual for any cryptocurrency system to accept credit cards due to the legal concerns surrounding this issue. Doing so can constitute the use of debt to buy an investment product. Finally, you will find and buy your bitcoins on the exchange’s marketplace. The purchase price will be deducted from your linked bank account and the private key granting access to your new coin will be stored in the wallet you created. Through a Bitcoin ATM At time of writing there are more than 9,500 bitcoinATMs in service around the world. A standard bitcoin ATM allows you to buy bitcoins, typically either by using cash or a debit card. Some Bitcoin ATMs also allow you to sell your coins, but these are relatively unusual. A bitcoin ATM works similarly to purchasing on an exchange. You will select the number of bitcoins you’d like to buy, enter your payment and then receive your bitcoins. Depending on the specific device, the ATM will ask you how you would like to receive the private key that gives access to your purchased bitcoins. Some allow you to enter the information for an online wallet, like those created on an exchange, while others may send the key to your e-mail address. Still other ATMs will even print the key out in hard copy. Bitcoin ATMs are a relatively secure way to buy tokens in and of themselves, but given the nature of this product they often involve carrying large amounts of cash to or from a public place. For this reason it is often better to use an exchange when possible. In Person Buying bitcoin in person is extremely risky. We recommend against this method under ordinary circumstances. Most bitcoin wallets are what is known as “hot storage.” This means that the wallet is kept online, on a server. Hot storage wallets have the downside that they are subject to the third party’s security. If the service providing your wallet gets hacked it’s much like if the bank holding all your cash gets robbed (only without the protection of an FDIC). However, they also come with tech support. If you misplace your login credentials, there are ways to recover access to your account. Other wallets are kept in what is known as “cold storage.” This means that the private keys for someone’s bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are kept offline. Some people will store this information electronically, using devices like a portable hard drive or even a flash drive to store the private keys which control access to their bitcoins. (As these are simple alphanumeric strings, even an extensive blockchain wallet can be stored in as little as a text file.) Other people store this information in hard copy. In these cases the user will physically print off the alphanumeric key for their bitcoins or a QR code that can be scanned to produce the key. Then, if they want to access their bitcoins, they physically enter this key one digit at a time. Cold storage has the advantage that it is unhackable. You can’t hack something that isn’t plugged in, and certainly not a piece of paper. However, the often-enormous downside is that it is vulnerable to human error. Simply put, it is very common for people to lose cold storage blockchain keys. However, should you keep your bitcoin keys in cold storage, you can sell them in person. An in-person transaction would mean physically handing over the keys to the bitcoins you’ve sold and accepting payment in whatever manner you choose. This method works just as well as any others, but it is also highly insecure. It creates room for human error, loss and even (at extremes) theft. In-person transactions should be limited only to situations of extreme trust. The Bottom Line There are three main ways to buy bitcoins, one of the most well-known cryptocurrencies. Online exchanges are the most common and generally the safest options, but you can also buy them from dedicated bitcoin ATMs and through in-person transactions. Each of these options has its own advantages and risks so be sure you understand what those are and precisely why you are using any particular one of them.

Related:This Self-Sovereign ‘DocuSign’ Uses Bitcoin for Digital Proofs The U.S. dollar has been the primary reserve currency since 1944, and investors tend to park funds in dollar-denominated assets or hold dollars during times of stress in the global economy. For instance, the U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback’s value against a basket of other major fiat currencies, rose from 94.65 to 103.00 in mid-March as global equity markets tanked on coronavirus-induced recession fears. Some analysts, however, foresee markets losing confidence in the dollar over the next few years. That’s because the Federal Reserve has pumped trillions of dollars of liquidity into the financial system over the past decade and is likely to continue printing money at an elevated pace for some time. The central bank’s balance sheet has expanded from $905 million to over $7 trillion in the past nine years, according to the St. Louis Fed. It has grown by more than $4 trillion in the past five months, as the Fed rolled out emergency liquidity programs to counter the economic toll of the coronavirus, while ramping up monthly asset purchases in a process known as quantitative easing. “The U.S. dollar is on the brink of losing its position of world’s global reserve as inflation concerns in the U.S. grows,” Goldman Sachs said in July. While theinvestment bank speculates thatgold could replace the dollar, the crypto communitycontends that bitcoin, with its deflationary monetary policy, is the best alternative to the dollar. Related:These 3 Trends Are Driving Crypto Market Growth Now Bitcoin’s pace of supply expansion is reduced by 50% every four years via a process called mining reward halving. At inception, each bitcoin block reward was worth 50 BTC. As of now, per block reward is 6.25 BTC – down from 12.5 BTC prior to May 12. Bitcoin’s tapering supply growth while the Fed has increased dollars is a large reason why many in the crypto markets have long been predicting the dollar’s collapse and bitcoin’s rise as a global reserve. However, such predictions often neglect that countries do not just accumulate dollars but also buy U.S. government bonds. “Central banks don’t just hold dollars; they hold U.S. Treasuries. That’s what corporations and large institutions do,” Chandler said. As of June 2020, Japan held U.S. Treasury securities worth $1.26 trillion, and China held $1.07 trillion, according to data providerStatista. According to the Federal Reserve and U.S. Department of the Treasury, foreign countries held $7.04 trillion worth of U.S. Treasury securities as of June 2020. The Chinese and Japanese purchases of Treasury bonds isn’t a case of these nations’ generosity, as is popularly perceived, but economic math. These nations run substantial current account surpluses (and capital account deficits) and invest their surplus forex reserves in the U.S. government bonds, given it is the deepest in the world. Also, investing in the U.S. Treasury helps Japan and China keep their currencies from appreciating and preserves current account surpluses. As of Aug. 20, the size of the global sovereigns, supranational and agencies bond market was $87.5 trillion, of which the U.S.accounted for$22.4 trillion and China $19.8 trillion. While China is a close second, its currency, the yuan, has yet to achieve full capital account convertibility and there are transparency concerns regarding Chinese markets. Put simply, no other bond market has the depth and transparency to absorb billions of dollars of demand other than the U.S. bond market. “No bond market can come close to Treasurys,” Chandler said. Meanwhile, no central bank has purchased bitcoin to date. While the institutional participation has increased this year, the cryptocurrency continues to behave like an investment asset rather than a safe haven or a future global reserve. Bitcoin fell during the March crash and has risen strongly over the past six months alongside the U.S dollar’s sell-off. Besides, price volatility is an issue. Bitcoin has moved at an average pace of 16% per month this year, substantially higher than a non-major currency like the Mexican peso, as noted by Chandler. As such, the idea of bitcoin supplanting the U.S. dollar as the global reserve in the near term looks far-fetched. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) fell by 10% to a 16-month low of 101.75 in the mid-March to mid-August period. The slide, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to adopt a more flexible approach to controlling inflation, has bolstered fears of the dollar’s collapse as a reserved currency. However, the dollar has suffered bigger sell-offs in the past and still maintained its reserve status. For instance, the index, which rose sharply from 77 to 89 in the seven months following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in August 2008, reversed gains and fell back to 72.70 by May 2011. That’s a nearly 20% decline in 12 months or so. More important, when the DXY made a low near 72.70 in May 2011, EUR/USD was trading near $1.45, up 23% from the current rate of $1.1750. Meanwhile, GBP/USD was trading above $1.65 – 28% more than the current exchange rate of $1.29. The Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and other major currencies were also trading at significantly higher levels than seen today, as noted by Chandler. Essentially, the U.S. dollar was aggressively sold on the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing programs. Even so, it remained the dominant global reserve currency. The dollar accounted for more than 60% of the global forex reserves in crisis and recovery years of 2009, 2010 and 2011, according to data sourcestatista.com. The situation hasn’t changed much this year despite the coronavirus crisis. The greenback accounted for 61% of the global currency reserves in the second quarter,as per the International Monetary Fund. Thus replacing the dollar is easier said than done. Bitcoin has to cover plenty of distance before it can threaten the dollar’s hegemony. For that to happen, the crypto community’s focus needs to shift from playing for price rallies to building infrastructure that would accelerate adoption at the institutional level. Major central banks like the Fed and the People’s Bank of China are working on digital currencies. Chandler postulates that central bank digital currencies would pave the way for an alternative payment system. The dollar bounced in September, ending a six-month losing trend even though the Fed adopted a more flexible approach to controlling inflation at the end of August. According to Chandler, the dollar’s bounce has got more to do with technical factors. The currencylooked oversoldagainst majors and bullish positioning in EUR/USD hadreached extremesin August. As a result, a minor bounce was overdue and was amplified by expectations for more monetary easing by the European Central Bank. The Fed has created more room for itself to keep interest rates low for a longer period of time by signaling a willingness to tolerate above-target (2%) inflation for some time. As such, the path of least resistance for the dollar is to the downside, unless other central banks follow the Fed’s path. With the dollar looking weaker, recent uptrends in bitcoin, gold and assets denominated in the greenback could soon resume. However, if Chandler is correct, the dollar is likely to prevail as the global reserve. • Bitcoin Unlikely to Replace US Dollar as Global Reserve: Marc Chandler • Bitcoin Unlikely to Replace US Dollar as Global Reserve: Marc Chandler... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/mudnut', "Bitcoin gave me opportunity like I've never had", 89, '2020-11-16 00:06', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/juvln5/bitcoin_gave_me_opportunity_like_ive_never_had/', "Look im not usually the type of guy to post some heart felt shit on reddit, but btc really changed my life ladies and gents.

On top of that, btc has also given me the ability to buy that ring, and still be financially stable!

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

Such tectonic shifts are being acknowledged by big players like Deutsche Bank, the latest lender to issue a report on CBDCs and their looming impact. The report, while quite conservative, recognizes the global financial system is in a state of exponential flux. For example, within only a decade of Bitcoin’s arrival, China has begun testing a CBDC in four major cities. Related: EU Proposes Full Regulatory Framework for Cryptocurrencies “The e-RMB and the Belt and Road Initiative would give China a chance to increase the importance of that currency overall,” Gerit Heinz, Deutsche Bank’s chief investment strategist, said in an interview with CoinDesk. “That could also imply some changes in the global reserve system.” Challenging the marriage of convenience between the global financial system and the U.S. dollar may be the technology’s ultimate impact. “CBDC has the potential to challenge the primacy of the U.S. dollar,” Heinz said. It’s perhaps no surprise this potential decoupling is being driven hardest of all by China, the anchor of a region that holds half the world’s foreign exchange reserves, not to mention some of the niftiest digital payments infrastructure.

A digital euro, which would not replace cash but complement it, is needed to keep Europe at the cutting edge of innovation and to provide an alternative to private digital currency initiatives like libra, Lagarde added in a speech last week . Story continues Read more: Digital Euro Would Provide Alternative to Cryptos, ECB President Lagarde Says The CBDC race is being run on uneven ground, however. Deutsche’s Heinz pointed out that in a democratic system, governments would have to take time to explain these developments to their people. “And people would probably want to have a say in this, although probably to varying degrees in different countries,” he said, adding: “In Europe, I would expect a lot of discussions about this. The euro introduced as a currency decades ago has triggered a lot of discussions. So CBDC in a euro system of different countries would, of course, imply much more discussion than in a bigger, more centralized country like China.” Stepping back, the Deutsche Bank report reminds us that changes to the dominant global reserve currency are a historical recurrence. “The pound was more important in the past and then the dollar took over; the petro-dollar and the fact that commodities are traded in dollars is one reason,” said Heinz. The difference today is that it’s not just the dominance of the dollar, it’s the dominance of U.S.-centric infrastructure and technology in payment systems, said Rashid Hoosenally, CEO of Lacero, a builder of infrastructure connecting digital assets to regular businesses. “I think that in the CBDC story, there is potentially an evolution to a more distributed version of that power, something that looks more like a global consortium rather than being overly centered around any one country or economic bloc,” said Hoosenally. “If that also leads to more harmonization of regulation and technology standards, that could bring huge financial and social benefits by making the system much more efficient.” Loveless marriage As such, CBDC could be the next front in a technology-based cold war, which has included things like the Google tax , and in which regard it’s not at all surprising to find that Europe appears to be more outraged than anyone over Facebook’s libra plans. (It’s also interesting to note that Europe’s broad proposals for its digital finance future, which include a framework for the regulation of all digital assets , also aims at gaining some kind of oversight of U.S. cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and IBM Cloud.) Read more: Leaked EU Draft Proposes All-Encompassing Laws for Crypto Assets On the banking side of things, there are some who even see CBDC as a possible revenge catalyst for putatively protectionist policies introduced by the U.S. post-2008. “I’m not sure I would call it a ‘war’ or a ‘battle’ because I think really what central banks are doing is responding to what’s going on in the economy,” said Gary Smith, founder of Sovereign Focus, a consultancy based in London. However, Smith did refer to the arrangement regarding America and Europe, as well as many other places as something of a loveless marriage , citing as an example U.S.-imposed sanctions on Iran. “The U.S. walked away from the Iran agreement. Europe hasn’t and would like to do some trade with Iran, but they are being bullied by the U.S. Treasury,” said Smith. “So having an alternative payment system that Europe can use without falling foul of the U.S. Treasury is something that probably has some appeal.” Also last week, the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA), a trade association with close ties to the European Commission, showed its support for the creation of a level playing field for digital assets in Europe, by stating in a blog post : “Europe is not just carving out its own place in the ‘tech cold war.’ It is seeking to rise above it with a cunning strategy.” The situation regarding CBDCs on the global stage is not about being anti-American, or anti-Chinese, said Marc Taverner, INATBA’s executive director. “What we are seeing is the tectonic plates shifting and a great opportunity around digital currencies and DLT,” Taverner said. “What Europe is aiming at is to be is a place for innovation.” Read the full report: Related Stories CBDCs Could Challenge US Dollar’s Dominance: Deutsche Bank CBDCs Could Challenge US Dollar’s Dominance: Deutsche Bank... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/[deleted]', 'I’m a Bitcoin bull.

A pandemic raged worldwide, the global economy tanked and social divisions grew wider. There is no way to avoid this in a year-end retrospective. Still, crypto has been on the up-and-up. It was a year of firsts. The U.S. Congress entertained the idea of a digital dollar for the first time. Ethereum will become the largest blockchain to completely reinvent itself . Bitcoin , for the first time, ended up on the balance sheets of multiple publicly traded corporations as a hedge against inflation . There’s work to be done and more barriers to break, but the financial and technological revolution underpinned by open-source, public blockchain technology is well on its way. We’ve seen the maturation of decentralized finance (plus plenty of food fights ), the well regarded launch of Filecoin and astounding growth in the value and use of crypto-dollars.

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

No other economy facing hyperinflation has come near the South American nation in terms of GDP-adjusted activity on peer-to-peer crypto exchanges, according to new CoinDesk Research analysis of data from LocalBitcoins and Paxful, the two largest such exchanges. Previous reporting from CoinDesk has shown that amid platform bans by the government and Venezuelans unease toward foreign crypto coverage, peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions remain at the center of the countrys thriving crypto scene . In general, Venezuelans cite a combination of factors for the rise of crypto there including migration, capital controls, risk of government seizure, demand for hard money and exposure to the petro, the cryptocurrency backed by the government. Whatever the main cause, data indicate unique factors could be driving bitcoin adoption in Venezuela, which is far outpacing adoption in countries experiencing similar economic fallout. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Breaches $16K as (Committed) Holders Diss Dalio's Diss The map above shows a visualization from CoinDesks GDP-adjusted database of LocalBitcoins and Paxful volume by currency . Venezuelas dominance is apparent. Other GDP-adjusted analyses of peer-to-peer bitcoin trading volumes, such as this one from analyst Matt Ahlborg, excluded Paxful, which has become a major platform. In this data visualization from CoinDesk, we include both LocalBitcoins and Paxful data and adjust for GDP. Peer-to-peer activity in Venezuela has continued to dominate with a monthly level at least twice as high as the next-largest market, Nigeria. Paxfuls exit from Venezuela is imminent, but its growth in other parts of the world make it an important component of analysis that looks at peer-to-peer crypto trading on a global scale. Peer-to-peer crypto exchanges are often where people come to buy their first crypto assets, Ahlborg argued in the same analysis, and so their activities can depict how the crypto asset is adopted on the ground level more truthfully than larger exchanges that are set up for fast-paced, speculative trading. By and large, this is true in Venezuela. Expats use bitcoin to send remittances back home, where locals convert it to bolivars to buy food and pay bills. With crypto remittances from expats plunging , peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions within the country have proven resilient. LocalBitcoins and Paxful trades using bolivars peaked in the first half of 2019, and have since hovered around $20 million. Story continues Related: 98% of Bitcoin's 'Unspent Outputs' Are Worth More Than When Made Continued high volumes are driven by businesses demand for bitcoin, according to Gabriel Jiménez, a Venezuelan blockchain entrepreneur who led the development of the petro. Venezuelan businesses often use bitcoin as a medium to obtain foreign currencies like the dollar, he said.

Among the 10 economies that have experienced the highest rates of annual inflation since 2017, according to data from the International Monetary Fund, only Venezuela, Argentina and Iran have shown significant peer-to-peer bitcoin market activity, and none approach Venezuela in size or consistency. Venezuelas peer-to-peer bitcoin activity has been extraordinary, whether measured as an absolute or relative to GDP. What sets Venezuela apart may be governmental support of a digital currency. The petro helped loosen Venezuelans fear of dealing with services like LocalBitcoins, said Jiménez. Some high-inflation countries have moved in the other direction. The government of Zimbabwe, where the two largest peer-to-peer bitcoin exchanges have shown zero activity, has made efforts to curb cryptocurrency adoption . There are other factors: Venezuelas inflation rate is measured by the International Monetary Fund at orders of magnitude higher than any other economy in the top five by annual inflation rates. It hit 65,374% in 2018. The next-highest rate of inflation tracked by the IMF over the past three years is in Zimbabwe, where it is projected to be 319% in 2020. People living in Venezuela are living under a very unstable and predatory government. They suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And heres a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so its very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value, said Andrea OSullivan, director of tech and innovation at James Madison Institute, a Washington think tank. Peer-to-peer vs. centralized exchanges According to Jiménez, Venezuelans prefer peer-to-peer exchanges also because theyre better than other alternatives. Centralized services, for example, have lower liquidity and less-developed trading capabilities due to a lack of service from Venezuelan banks. The early bird factor is yet another reason. LocalBitcoins became such a popular exchange in Venezuela not only because it was inexpensive, but also because it was the first thing available to Venezeulans as soon as government normalization of cryptocurrencies was in the air around 2017, Jiménez added. Veteran LocalBitcoins traders have their ratings, number of successful trades and years of experience visible on their profile pages, which attracts and maintains customers loyalty to them and, in turn, both sides loyalty to the platform.

Yet, even though its slated to cease all operations in Venezuela because of heavy U.S. sanctions against the country, Paxful has been on the rise. In July, trades involving bolivars doubled the June volume, crossing the $100,000 line for the first time since the currency was reissued in August 2018, the research shows. The exchange is also enjoying explosive growth in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. People living in Venezuela suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And heres a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so its very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value. That said, Paxfuls monthly volume in each of these countries has only amounted to half of LocalBitcoins growth in Venezuela, our data visualization shows. Peer-to-peer activity continues to be most dominant in Venezuela, where it is used to skirt government restrictions and obtain foreign fiats. Its possible that, as Jiménez suggested, Venezuelas peer-to-peer bitcoin activity wouldnt be where it is today without crypto-friendly initiatives from the government itself. Its also possible that bitcoin adoption in Venezuela may be driven by the sheer rate of Venezuelas hyperinflation, which outpaces other crisis economies. As bitcoins real-world uses continue to crystallize, yet other factors may emerge as drivers of its adoption.

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

The Malta-based company halted withdrawals on Oct. 16 after an unidentified staffer with access to users’ accounts went incommunicado while cooperating with a police investigation, the exchange said at the time.

It started back in June, amid the nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd, when Brian Armstrong, the companys extremely introverted cofounder and CEO , was asked a question at an employee town hall about why Coinbase had not shown public support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Armstrong declined to give a clear answer, according to crypto news site The Block , and his avoidance resulted in a virtual walkout by hundreds of Coinbases 1,100 employees on June 3. The next day, Armstrong tweeted , I want to unequivocally say that Black Lives Matter. He added: Ive been watching the events of the last few weeks unfold I really did not know what to say about it for a long time, and I'm still not sure I do. But Ive been getting educated. News of the walkout never came out until this week, when Erica Baker, the director of engineering at GitHub, tweeted , A large portion of the Coinbase engineering team walked off the job just before that thread went up because Brian wouldnt say black lives matter. She added that even Google, who had been mum on racism for their entire existence, said something about the Floyd protests. Indeed, Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Salesforce are some of the mega-tech names that released public statements of support for the Floyd protests or the Black Lives Matter movement. Coinbase, during that time, made no such statement prior to Armstrongs tweets. Last weekend, likely in response to ongoing unrest within the company, Armstrong posted a public memo on the Coinbase blog explicitly stating the companys commitment to an apolitical culture. We dont engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission Coinbase, Armstrong wrote, will focus on its mission to build cryptocurrency products. We are a for-profit business, he wrote. We shouldnt ever shy away from making profit, because with more resources we can have a great impact on the world. Story continues On political and social issues, Armstrong wrote, We dont engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission, because we believe impact only comes with focus... We dont advocate for any particular causes or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission. Translation: Coinbases mission is to make money via cryptocurrency banking products. It is interested purely in crypto capitalism. That in itself wouldnt be so controversial. (Paul Graham, Y Combinator founder and an early investor in Coinbase, applauded : I predict most successful companies will follow Coinbase's lead... those who don't are less likely to succeed.) What rankled many inside the company and out was his apparent forbidding of employees from even talking about politics. Armstrong listed specific discussions he doesnt want happening inside San Francisco-based Coinbase: We wont: Debate causes or political candidates internally; Expect the company to represent our personal beliefs externally; Assume negative intent, or not have each others back; Take on activism outside of our core mission at work. The Verge aptly called this an act of wishful thinking . Fortune wrote, There is no such thing as apolitical culture. Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo replied to Paul Graham : This isnt great leadership... Its the equivalent of telling your employees to shut up and dribble. Jill Carlson, who manages blockchain investments at VC firm Slow Ventures, tweeted , Have you ever thought about what a privilege it is to be able to NARROWLY FOCUS at work? Other critics pointed out that by publicly declaring he wants his company to stay away from politics, Armstrong effectively did the opposite. The memo clearly did not go over well with some employees. By Tuesday, Armstrong emailed employees to outline the severance package the company will offer to anyone who does not feel comfortable with the new direction. A survey by the tech site The Information on Thursday found that 51% of its subscribers disagreed with Armstrongs memo and said companies should engage with social activism, but 56% of subscribers also dont believe employees should leave a company because they disagree with their CEOs politics.

(Photo by Steven Ferdman/Getty Images) Big brands taking political stands The larger problem with the memo is that Armstrongs goal of an apolitical tech company looks like a pipe dream in 2020. Amid the Donald Trump presidency, political divisions have made social media a frequently toxic place, and big consumer-facing brands (in tech and in other industries) have frequently been forced into politics . Under Armour founder Kevin Plank called Trump a real asset for this country and his companys own sponsored athletes expressed outrage on social media . After white nationalists toted Tiki torches at the violent rally in Charlottesville, Tiki had to clarify that, We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way. Keurig temporarily pulled its ads from Sean Hannitys Fox program and quickly became the target of a boycott by Hannity fans who destroyed their Keurig machines. Wayfair employees in Boston staged a dramatic walkout after discovering the company was selling its furniture to a contractor that supplied private prisons. As a result, many brands have proactively taken steps to make their political views clearthey have chosen to take a side. Nike signed former NFL quarterback and political lightning rod Colin Kaepernick to an endorsement deal, and Dicks Sporting Goods stopped selling assault rifles at its shops; both moves enraged conservatives, many of whom threatened to boycott those companies. American companies are finding their woke values, and in many cases it has worked for them, said NYU marketing professor and tech commentator Scott Galloway. Its not principle-led, its shareholder-driven. In Silicon Valley, employee activism has surged. Google has had multiple employee walkouts or protests in response to multiple issues at the company, including its handling of sexual harassment accusations and its work with the Chinese government. Apple CEO Tim Cook faced backlash for his 2019 meeting with a Chinese tech regulator and for appearing to kowtow to China by removing apps from the app store at Chinas request. Facebook has become the prime symbol of Big Techs failure to monitor misinformation and hate speech; it hasnt hurt the stock one bit. More recently, the direct listing of Palantir, the shadowy defense security firm cofounded by Trump donor Peter Thiel that has worked with I.C.E., served as a reminder that much of Silicon Valley is conservative, not all liberal idealists. In Palantirs S-1 filing in August, CEO Alex Karp declared , "The engineering elite of Silicon Valley may know more than most about building software. But they do not know more about how society should be organized or what justice requires. The Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange application is seen on the screen of an iPhone on October 05, 2018 in Paris, France. (Photo Illustration by Chesnot/Getty Images) Brian Armstrongs memo has strong shades of Mark Zuckerbergs much-maligned attempts to stay politically neutral. The rise of stakeholder capitalism and ESG investing (environmental, social, governance) makes Armstrongs longing to keep Coinbase apolitical look clumsy. Armstrongs retort to that very trend is in his memo: It has become common for Silicon Valley companies to engage in a wide variety of social activism, even those unrelated to what the company does... while I think these efforts are well intentioned, they have the potential to destroy a lot of value at most companies, both by being a distraction, and by creating internal division. His stance created internal division at his own company. And the situation is likely far from resolved. UPDATE, Oct. 8: In a blog post , Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says that 60 employees, or 5% of the workforce, have left after his memo.

Earlier this week, authorities have traced and seized over 69,000 of the missing Bitcoin in what has become the largest seizure of cryptocurrency in the history of the Department of Justice to date. Seeing as one Bitcoin is currently valued at $15,000, the pile in DOJ’s possession is worth over $1 billion. The department has now filed a civil complaint for the Bitcoin forfeiture. Silk Road was a massive marketplace on the dark web where people could anonymously conduct drug and gun sale transactions, among other illicit activities. Authorities shut down the platform in 2013 and arrested its founder who was known by the pseudonym “Dread Pirate Roberts.” As the Wall Street Journal notes, they only managed to seize 175,000 Bitcoin from Ulbricht back then, which is less than half of the 600,000 Bitcoin they believe the website generated in commissions. US Attorney Anderson said in a statement: “Silk Road was the most notorious online criminal marketplace of its day. The successful prosecution of Silk Road’s founder in 2015 left open a billion-dollar question. Where did the money go? Today’s forfeiture complaint answers this open question at least in part. $1 billion of these criminal proceeds are now in the United States’ possession.” The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation unit was responsible for finding the 69,000 seized Bitcoin. Agents from the unit started analyzing Silk Road’s digital wallets earlier this year and found 54 previously undetected transactions. They determined that Ulbricht didn’t make those transactions and that they were conducted by a hacker they’re referring to as “Individual X” who stole the Bitcoin in 2012 and 2013. The DOJ says Individual X agreed to hand over what they stole after authorities tracked them down, signing a Consent and Agreement to Forfeiture with the Northern District of California’s US Attorney’s Office on November 3rd. It’s worth noting that Ulbricht was aware of the hacker’s online identity and allegedly threatened them for the Bitcoin’s return. Individual X, however, refused to give in — they simply sat on that enormous amount of money and didn’t spend it. "Ulbricht became aware of Individual X’s online identity and threatened Individual X for return of the cryptocurrency to Ulbricht. Individual X did not return the cryptocurrency but kept it and did not spend it." — Alon Gal (Under the Breach) (@UnderTheBreach) November 5, 2020 The DOJ didn’t reveal what it plans to do with the massive pile of digital coins, but the government auctioned off the other Silk Road-related coins it previously seized. How much the government can get from it remains to be seen, though, since releasing lots of Bitcoin to buyers could lower its value.

Backing the dollar is the worlds biggest, deepest and the most transparent government bond market, Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex and author of the book Making Sense of the Dollar, told CoinDesk in a recent video chat. I just dont know how bitcoin can replace the greenback from that viewpoint. A global reserve currency is the one that facilitates cross-border trade, including investments and international debt obligations. Global central banks hold reserve currencies to help protect against major swings in foreign-exchange rates, as well as in the conduct of monetary policy. Related: This Self-Sovereign DocuSign Uses Bitcoin for Digital Proofs The U.S. dollar has been the primary reserve currency since 1944, and investors tend to park funds in dollar-denominated assets or hold dollars during times of stress in the global economy. For instance, the U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the greenbacks value against a basket of other major fiat currencies, rose from 94.65 to 103.00 in mid-March as global equity markets tanked on coronavirus-induced recession fears. Some analysts, however, foresee markets losing confidence in the dollar over the next few years. Thats because the Federal Reserve has pumped trillions of dollars of liquidity into the financial system over the past decade and is likely to continue printing money at an elevated pace for some time. The central banks balance sheet has expanded from $905 million to over $7 trillion in the past nine years, according to the St. Louis Fed. It has grown by more than $4 trillion in the past five months, as the Fed rolled out emergency liquidity programs to counter the economic toll of the coronavirus, while ramping up monthly asset purchases in a process known as quantitative easing. Story continues The U.S. dollar is on the brink of losing its position of worlds global reserve as inflation concerns in the U.S. grows, Goldman Sachs said in July. While the investment bank speculates that gold could replace the dollar, the crypto community contends that bitcoin , with its deflationary monetary policy, is the best alternative to the dollar. Related: These 3 Trends Are Driving Crypto Market Growth Now Bitcoins pace of supply expansion is reduced by 50% every four years via a process called mining reward halving. At inception, each bitcoin block reward was worth 50 BTC. As of now, per block reward is 6.25 BTC down from 12.5 BTC prior to May 12. Bitcoins tapering supply growth while the Fed has increased dollars is a large reason why many in the crypto markets have long been predicting the dollars collapse and bitcoins rise as a global reserve. However, such predictions often neglect that countries do not just accumulate dollars but also buy U.S. government bonds. Central banks dont just hold dollars; they hold U.S. Treasuries. Thats what corporations and large institutions do, Chandler said. Why countries buy U.S. Treasury Bonds As of June 2020, Japan held U.S. Treasury securities worth $1.26 trillion, and China held $1.07 trillion, according to data provider Statista . According to the Federal Reserve and U.S. Department of the Treasury, foreign countries held $7.04 trillion worth of U.S. Treasury securities as of June 2020. The Chinese and Japanese purchases of Treasury bonds isnt a case of these nations generosity, as is popularly perceived, but economic math. These nations run substantial current account surpluses (and capital account deficits) and invest their surplus forex reserves in the U.S. government bonds, given it is the deepest in the world. Also, investing in the U.S. Treasury helps Japan and China keep their currencies from appreciating and preserves current account surpluses. As of Aug. 20, the size of the global sovereigns, supranational and agencies bond market was $87.5 trillion, of which the U.S. accounted for $22.4 trillion and China $19.8 trillion. While China is a close second, its currency, the yuan, has yet to achieve full capital account convertibility and there are transparency concerns regarding Chinese markets. Put simply, no other bond market has the depth and transparency to absorb billions of dollars of demand other than the U.S. bond market. No bond market can come close to Treasurys, Chandler said. Meanwhile, no central bank has purchased bitcoin to date. While the institutional participation has increased this year, the cryptocurrency continues to behave like an investment asset rather than a safe haven or a future global reserve. Bitcoin fell during the March crash and has risen strongly over the past six months alongside the U.S dollars sell-off. Besides, price volatility is an issue. Bitcoin has moved at an average pace of 16% per month this year, substantially higher than a non-major currency like the Mexican peso, as noted by Chandler. As such, the idea of bitcoin supplanting the U.S. dollar as the global reserve in the near term looks far-fetched. Dollar has withered a bigger sell-off in the past The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) fell by 10% to a 16-month low of 101.75 in the mid-March to mid-August period. The slide, coupled with the Federal Reserves recent decision to adopt a more flexible approach to controlling inflation, has bolstered fears of the dollars collapse as a reserved currency. However, the dollar has suffered bigger sell-offs in the past and still maintained its reserve status. For instance, the index, which rose sharply from 77 to 89 in the seven months following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in August 2008, reversed gains and fell back to 72.70 by May 2011. Thats a nearly 20% decline in 12 months or so. More important, when the DXY made a low near 72.70 in May 2011, EUR/USD was trading near $1.45, up 23% from the current rate of $1.1750. Meanwhile, GBP/USD was trading above $1.65 28% more than the current exchange rate of $1.29. The Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and other major currencies were also trading at significantly higher levels than seen today, as noted by Chandler. Essentially, the U.S. dollar was aggressively sold on the Federal Reserves quantitative easing programs. Even so, it remained the dominant global reserve currency. The dollar accounted for more than 60% of the global forex reserves in crisis and recovery years of 2009, 2010 and 2011, according to data source statista.com . The situation hasnt changed much this year despite the coronavirus crisis. The greenback accounted for 61% of the global currency reserves in the second quarter, as per the International Monetary Fund . Thus replacing the dollar is easier said than done. Bitcoin has to cover plenty of distance before it can threaten the dollars hegemony. For that to happen, the crypto communitys focus needs to shift from playing for price rallies to building infrastructure that would accelerate adoption at the institutional level. Major central banks like the Fed and the Peoples Bank of China are working on digital currencies. Chandler postulates that central bank digital currencies would pave the way for an alternative payment system. Dollar sell-off likely to continue The dollar bounced in September, ending a six-month losing trend even though the Fed adopted a more flexible approach to controlling inflation at the end of August. According to Chandler, the dollars bounce has got more to do with technical factors. The currency looked oversold against majors and bullish positioning in EUR/USD had reached extremes in August. As a result, a minor bounce was overdue and was amplified by expectations for more monetary easing by the European Central Bank. The Fed has created more room for itself to keep interest rates low for a longer period of time by signaling a willingness to tolerate above-target (2%) inflation for some time. As such, the path of least resistance for the dollar is to the downside, unless other central banks follow the Feds path. With the dollar looking weaker, recent uptrends in bitcoin, gold and assets denominated in the greenback could soon resume. However, if Chandler is correct, the dollar is likely to prevail as the global reserve.

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

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

On July 15th, 2020, Twitter was the target of a widespread, disruptive hacking campaign . More than 100 high-profile accounts — including those of Jeff Bezos, Uber, Apple, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Kanye West — simultaneously tweeted out promises to match Bitcoin donations to a single linked charity, only within a 30-minute window. The charity was fake, and the scam essentially shut down Twitter for a few hours; developers caught it quickly and temporarily removed the ability for all verified accounts to tweet. Still, the hackers made off with an estimated $100,000. The New York Times published an interview with the scammers just a few days after the hack, alleging it was orchestrated by a small group of Discord users in their late teens and early 20s. On July 31st, police in Tampa, Florida, arrested 17-year-old Graham Clark on charges that he was the mastermind behind the scheme. This story is the focus of Friday’s episode of The New York Times Presents , which airs on FX at 10PM ET. “The Teenager Who Hacked Twitter” will also appear on Hulu the following day, via the FX on Hulu hub. The New York Times Presents is a series of standalone documentaries featuring investigative reporting around relevant social issues, and this is the fifth episode of its first season. In Tampa, Clark has pleaded not guilty to 17 counts of communications fraud, 11 counts of fraudulent use of personal information, organized fraud of more than $5,000, and accessing computers without authority. He will be tried as an adult. Two others were charged alongside Clark in a criminal complaint out of California: 19-year-old Mason Sheppard from the United Kingdom, and 22-year-old Nima Fazeli of Orlando, Florida.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/ThisGuyNeedsABeer', 'Are there crypto mentors?

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

The lack of bullish momentum will be a major cause for concern for XRP investors, especially following Bitcoin’s rally above $13,000 this week. For the time being, XRP remains trapped in a relatively tight trading range with the $0.225 level of support propping up price since early September. Despite showing signs of a break out above the $0.26 level of resistance on October 22, XRP was dealt a swift rejection for the fourth time in five weeks. Much of its trajectory over the coming months will depend on if Bitcoin can break 2019’s high of $14,000 and go on to set a new all-time high, as profits would eventually get liquidated into more speculative assets like XRP. This was what happened during the ICO bubble and subsequent bull market in 2017, with Bitcoin clearly leading the way only for altcoins to surge when BTC consolidated. However, according to Google search trends, the lack of retail interest in the cryptocurrency market today compared to 2017 indicates that institutional investment is behind the recent rally. The Ripple Foundation currently facilitates a number of OTC token sales of the XRP token to institutions, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse stating that token sales “are vital” to the company’s survival.

It outlines three “cycles” the crypto industry already had –– “periods of high activity” in 2011, 2013, and 2017, followed by the so-called “crypto winters.” The first cycle took place in 2009-2012, according to a16z, with Bitcoin reaching $30 in June 2011, for the first time in history. The second cycle happened in 2012-2016, with its peak in 2013, which the report describes as “probably the first time most people outside of tech heard about Bitcoin.” During this time, a lot of startups were founded, and the ecosystem started developing. The Bitcoin price briefly touched the $1,100 mark in December 2013. 2016-2019\xa0is the time where the industry started gaining mainstream attraction, peaking in December 2017, when the price of Bitcoin reached $20,000. The\xa0third cycle is also characterized by “x10” growth in the number of developers coming into space and companies founded.

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

For more than three hours on Wednesday, Democrat and Republican senators took jabs at Facebook , Twitter , and Google , saying that they disseminate misinformation, spark violence, and suppress conservative voices. The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation explored whether Section 230, a law that protects Internet companies from being held liable for what users post, gives Big Tech companies too much immunity. Lawmakers from both parties agree that the law should be changed or even revoked, though they differ about why. Democrats repeatedly criticized the companies for failing to remove harmful information on their services. Meanwhile, Republicans hammered the companies for allegedly suppressing conservative views and influencing elections. “You think that people don’t trust you,” said Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin. “I agree with that. We don’t trust you.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey spent the hearing trying to defend themselves from the attacks. Time and again, they said they’re at war against harmful content, that they are politically neutral, and that they’re working to safeguard the presidential election. Here are the highlights from the hearing: Heated exchanges The hearing was marked by intense exchanges between lawmakers expressing their frustration and executives trying to be as inoffensive as possible. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, took Dorsey to task for allowing Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweets questioning the Holocaust to remain untouched on Twitter while the service routinely flags President Trump’s tweets. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz criticized Twitter for blocking a New York Post article that suggested Biden had ties to corruption in the Ukraine while allowing a New York Times story about Trump’s taxes to remain. One day after the Post article about Biden was published, Twitter reversed its stance on blocking it. But Cruz also asked Dorsey point-blank whether Twitter has the ability to influence elections. Story continues Dorsey responded by saying, “No, we are one part of a spectrum of communication channels people have.” Cruz snapped back, “Mr. Dorsey, I find your opening answers absurd on their face.” Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, from Minnesota, said she was concerned about Google’s “defiant” response to the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against it. She also questioned Zuckerberg about Facebook’s alleged interest in pushing divisive content to users because it provokes them to spend more time on the platform. Zuckerberg disagreed with Klobuchar’s characterization, saying Facebook shows users content that it thinks will be meaningful to them like “when your cousin had her baby.” Klobuchar stopped Zuckerberg mid-sentence, saying she’s not talking about cousins and babies but rather the “corrosive” content like conspiracy theories. Beyond Section 230 Though the hearing was supposed to focus on Section 230, senators often veered off topic to discuss other issues including data privacy, antitrust, and political ads. The CEOs of Twitter, Google, and Facebook all said they continue to see foreign and domestic actors trying to interfere with the U.S. election, contrary to President Trump’s minimizing or dismissing the problem. The CEOs added that they have coordinated with the rest of the tech industry and law enforcement to identify and remove such posts. “One of the threats the FBI has alerted our companies and the public to was the possibility of a hack-and-leak operation in the days or weeks leading up to this election,” Zuckerberg said. “That if a trove of documents appeared, that we should view that with suspicion that it might be part of a foreign manipulation attempt.” Tech troubles The virtual hearing about the tech industry ended up being marred by tech hiccups. Even the tech CEO had troubles. Zuckerberg went AWOL from the opening statements because of a technical snafu that ended up delaying the hearing for a few minutes while the CEO tried to fix the problem. After Zuckerberg appeared, and explained he had trouble connecting, Sen. Roger Wicker, the Republican chairman of the committee, joked, “I know the feeling, Mr. Zuckerberg.” Later, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s audio was muted halfway through a sentence. Wicker alerted Blumenthal to the issue, and the hearing briefly paused until he was unmuted. Low moments Some lawmakers used the hearing to go off in odd tangents. For example, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee asked Pichai if Google still employed software engineer Blake Lemoine. In leaked internal emails, the Google employee likened Blackburn to a “terrorist” and a “violent thug” in her approach to certain political issues. “He has had very unkind things to say about me,” said Blackburn, implying that he should be fired and later suggesting that Internet companies unfairly censor conservative voices. In another odd moment, Sen. Johnson became frustrated with Dorsey because Twitter did not remove a tweet that contained a lie about Johnson strangling his neighbor’s dog. The author admitted in the tweet that the dog strangling was false, likely to show how misinformation can be spread. “That could definitely impact my ability to get reelected,” he complained in complete seriousness about the tweet.

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

However, Biden appears to be the favorite at publication time. The last time bitcoin peaked was back in December 2017 when the cryptocurrency traded at around $20,000.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $17,531.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,641, Bitcoin slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $16,501.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $16,050, Bitcoin moved back through to $17,100 levels to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest slide back to sub-$17,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,920 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Ripple’s XRP rose by 4.64% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.80%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.11%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin slid by 4.79% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.81%), Chainlink (-0.74%), Ethereum (-0.25%), and Litecoin (-2.70%), also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $593.32bn before sliding to a Thursday low $467.23bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $504.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 64.75% before sliding to a Tuesday low of 60.80%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.94%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% 17,133.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $17,198.0 before falling to a low $17,031.0.

It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Polkadot was down by 0.65% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $17,068 to bring the first major resistance level at $17,634 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $17,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $17,531.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,098. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $17,068 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,604 into play.

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

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

DeFi tokens like YFI and LINK have fallen exponentially since the peak in late August as investors being to switch focus back to Bitcoin in light of its rally above $13,000. The vast majority of DeFi tokens are built on Ethereums blockchain, which adds a fairly crucial variable in that when Ethereum 2.0 goes live, projects will be able to run more seamlessly amid scalability improvements. DeFi Weve seen huge drops in DeFis total locked value (TLV) before, and well likely see them again. Hemachandra said. Its easy to see these overnight or multi-day movements as a slowdown or to read too much into the market, but the reality is that DeFi is up over 1,700% this year in TLV. Price fluctuations arent unusual in new asset classes, and although DeFis certainly an experiment, its garnering interest that makes me immensely excited for its future. In what has been eerily reminiscent to the 2017 bull run, altcoins like Ethereum and its subsequent erc-20 tokens have sold off against Bitcoin during the recent run. DeFi will likely recover when Bitcoin re-enters a period of consolidation as this is when traders will attempt to lock in profits and diversify into more speculative assets.

I had vehemently argued against Bitcoin, saying that it was pure speculation and would be a total waste of money. \n\nWell, he ended up investing about 50k into Bitcoin around then (when Bitcoin was ~$100 each), for over 500 coins. I, on the other, invested most of it into stocks, and about 30k into silver. \n\nMy brother has never sold any of his Bitcoins. He’s never even traded them for other crypto currencies. His job pays him very well very, so he’s never really had liquidity issues. He has still 500+ coins. \n\nMy 30k investment into silver in 2013 is now worth about 26k, and my entire net worth is below 100k. My brother’s 50k Bitcoin investment, however (which was made within months of the same time as my silver investment), is now worth over $10 million. His wealth in Bitcoin alone is more than 100 times greater than my entire net worth.\n\nHe’s going to retire soon. He will be selling his house, and live and an investor. He plans to travel a lot with the wife and kids, and it seems like his life is set. \n\nNow, he did give me one Bitcoin. And I will not sell it. As happy as I am for him, though, it really hurts to hear about his fortune and bright future, and not be jealous. I’ve stopped attending family events (him too), because I can’t get over the overwhelming thought of “hey, you should’ve done what your brother did”, at every waking moment. It’s extremely depressing. I try to be thankful for what I do have, and I try to be thankful since I know that many other people in the world have it way worse. But I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it. Whenever I’m working, I try to distract myself from the thought that “if you made the same investment, you wouldn’t have to work anymore,” but the thought always keeps coming back. \n\nAny advice?', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Silverbugs/comments/k2zlay/my_twin_brother_invested_in_bitcoin_while_i/', 'k2zlay', [['u/spatialsilver88', 10, '2020-11-29 03:37', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Silverbugs/comments/k2zlay/my_twin_brother_invested_in_bitcoin_while_i/gdyto88/', "My advice is to never put all of your eggs in one basket.

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

A lack of venues that will accept cryptocurrencies for purchase. “I today can’t take my bitcoin yet and buy things easily with it.” 2. Bitcoin and other cryptos are too volatile to be considered an effective store of wealth. That volatility also hurts bitcoin’s use transactionally because vendors won’t know how much they’re getting, Dalio said. 3. If bitcoin or other cryptos become “material,” Dalio predicted governments will “outlaw” it. “They’ll use whatever teeth they have to enforce that.” “I don’t think digital currencies will succeed in the way people hope they would,” Dalio said.

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

LVL, which is backed by Morgan Creek Digital’s Anthony Pompliano andbitcoinadvocates Jimmy Song and Willy Woo, previously had no trading fees but only for subscription users.\nLVL is also partnering with Mastercard to release two debit cards in early 2021. A standard plastic debit card will be available to free-tier users for a $10 issuing fee, while a metal Mastercard is included with three months of LVL’s Premium service.\nRelated:Crypto.com Takes Steps Toward Financial Licensure in Malta\nThe new features come as bitcoin is hittingall-time highs.\n“We’ve always been behind a subscription paywall but now we’re just making our entire service free to use,” said LVL CEO Chris Slaughter. “You can buy and sell bitcoin, you can use the plastic debit card. So now in North America, there’s a regulated exchange that’s 100% free to use.”\nRead more:Bitcoin Trading Fees on PayPal, Robinhood, Cash App and Coinbase: What to Know\nLVL’s point is that large U.S. exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini with remarkably similarpricingschemescreate a lack of competition.

We’re registered with FinCEN. And not only do we have bank accounts, they are full checking accounts.” (LVL also provides FDIC insurance on those accounts through banking platform Evolve, Slaughter said.)\nThe exchange makes its money, Slaughter explained, by charging $3 for withdrawals, which primarily covers network fees. (Coinbase chargesa $1-$5 network fee.) The trading platform also charges $5 for same-day bank transfers and wires, which covers the exchange’s risk provisioning credit to users and generates some income for LVL, Slaughter said.\nThe premium service at $9 per month, which also includes live-chat facility with a banker, is the means by which LVL Autopilot brings liquidity to the platform.

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.

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

The uptrend began in early September after buyers bought a dip below $10,000, and gathered pace in the second half of October. Last week, prices reached a high of $15,971, a level last seen in January 2018. That’s a 63% price gain in eight weeks, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Flat at $15.3K; Crypto Locked in DeFi at All-Time High Over 2018 and 2019, bitcoin often languished below $10,000, struggling to recover from a crash that followed the late 2017 surge to record highs near $20,000. So, what’s behind the rapid gains in recent weeks? Here are three of the primary factors driving the bull market: “Over the past eight weeks, we have seen various notable public companies and hedge funds enter the cryptocurrency market with sizable deployment of capital,” Matthew Dibb, co-founder, and COO of Singapore-based Stack Funds said. On Sept. 15, listed business intelligence firm MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR)announced the purchaseof $250 million worth of bitcoins, and three weeks later payments company Square (NYSE: SQ) alsodisclosed its investmentin the bitcoin market.

Also read:Institutions Take Record Bullish Bets in Bitcoin Futures, Shrugging Off Exchange Missteps The increased institutional participation likely created upward pressure on prices. Further, it buoyed broader market sentiment and likely prompted more buyers to join the market. The number of bitcoin whale entities – clusters of addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 BTC –rose to four-year highsat the end of October. Retail participation increased, too, as suggested by the “accumulation addresses” metricrising to record highs. Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, expectations for additional U.S. fiscal stimulus alongside the Federal Reserve’s ongoing inflation-boosting bond purchase programs have triggered fears of a dollar sell-off, and motivated both institutions and retailers to put at least some money into bitcoin. “The talks of further stimulus efforts has put bitcoin on the map as a quasi-safe haven, possessing many of the store-of-value qualities of gold, despite its relatively [brief] existence,” Dibb said. Also read:World’s Growing Stockpile of Negative-Yielding Debt a Positive for Bitcoin, Say Analysts Large spot buyers, mostly institutions, have created a shortfall in bitcoin liquidity, pressuring prices to the higher side. “Between Grayscale’s GBTC trust, MicroStrategy and the influx of other large spot buyers, the supply of bitcoin is beginning to look more scarce,” Dibb said. Grayscale is owned by CoinDesk’s parent firm, Digital Currency Group. Further, retail investors took direct custody of their coins by moving them from exchanges to their own wallets, adding to the drying up of sell-side liquidity. The total number of bitcoins held on cryptocurrency exchanges has fallen 9% to 2,404,788 BTC in the past two months, according toGlassnode data. The decline in exchange balances is indicative of strong holding sentiment in the market. Bitcoin’s bullish bias strengthened following the cryptocurrency’s convincing break above $12,500 in the third week of October. Back then, many analysts had pointed to $12,500 as the level to beat for the bulls. That’s because the cryptocurrency had declined sharply following a rejection near $12,500 in August. “The real resistance level is around $12,500-ish, so, until a meaningful breakout above that level, nothing is done,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer at ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk on Oct. 20. Indeed, the eventual breakout above $12,500 looks to have invited stronger chart-driven buying pressure. Bitcoin ended the third week of October above the key hurdle and remained bid in the following two weeks. Now support, at $12,500, hasn’t been tested since.

The company recentlyannouncedit opened a regional office in Dubai.\nRipple is still a far cry from, say, Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange that hashopped from one jurisdiction to anotherand hasrefused to even say where exactly it is headquartered. But the Silicon Valleyunicorn’sopen discussion of a possible relocation marks a strategic shift, underscoring how the sector’s compliance challenges have grown more complex over the last half-decade.\n“Ripple wants to embrace regulation. And when regulation is clear and consistently applied it does result in a predictable outcome,” the company’s general counsel, Stu Alderoty, told CoinDesk in a recent phone interview.\nThis, however, hasn’t been the case in the U.S., he said.\n“Other jurisdictions made pretty significant advances,” Alderoty said, denying that a relocation would beregulatory arbitrage, the corporate practice of taking advantage of differing regimes. In other jurisdictions, “there is a high degree of comfort that the regulator won’t say [XRP] is a security one day,” he explained.\nThe company’s reasons to consider moving out are “general frustration, and the maturity of other jurisdictions parading that regulation clarity,” he said, adding that for Ripple, “it would be irresponsible not to explore those opportunities.”\nTo be clear, Ripple hasn’t committed to moving out of the U.S. definitively. Its leadership may just be saber-rattling in hopes of motivating regulatory agencies like the SEC to take action. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Ripple will stay headquartered in the U.S. even if the SEC continues its business as usual.\nAlderoty indicated Ripple would remain compliant with U.S. regulations and likely continue doing business in the country. The specific benefits Ripple would gain by moving out remain unclear, as is why Ripple would move out of the U.S. now.\nThe SEC’s future focus is itself unclear. Current Chairman Jay Claytonintends to step downbefore President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January. Biden will get to nominate a new chair, shaping the agency’s course for the next several years.\nCompared to therebellious figuresof theearly Bitcoin community,Ripple, founded in 2012, looked like your straight-laced aunt.\n“ForBitcoin, the goal was to create a decentralized currency and ledger, independent from any government or central operator. For Ripple, the goal was to create a decentralized ledger that could work with and improve the foundation of today’s payment systems,” Larsen said in a 2015interviewwith fintech maven Chris Skinner.\nDuring that era, the main category of regulation that preoccupied digital currency businesses was the kind designed to prevent money laundering, sanctions violations and terrorism financing.\nAs early as 2014, Ripple introduced a feature that allows financial institutions tostop certain transactionson its network (which is now known as the XRP Ledger).\nXRP, the network’snative currency, could not be frozen, but dollars or euros issued by a bank on the ledger could, allowing Ripple’s corporate users (then referred to as “gateways”) to cooperate with law enforcement requests.\n“The individual freeze is intended primarily for complying with regulatory requirements,” the company said in anoticeat the time. “It also allows gateways to freeze individual account issuances in order to investigate suspicious activity. These features allow gateways to better operate in compliance of laws and regulations.”\nNevertheless, the following year Ripple was hit was one by of the industry’s first high-profile enforcement actions.\nThe U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)finedthe company $700,000 for failing in its early days to register as a money services business (MSB) and to implement an anti-money laundering program.\nThe company cooperated with FinCEN andagreedto make “certain enhancements” to the Ripple Protocol “to appropriately monitor all future transactions” and regular compliance audits.\nMore recently, following the initial coin offering (ICO) boom of 2017, an additional type of regulation has come into play for the crypto markets: securities laws. And this area has proven trickier to navigate for Ripple.\nIn 2018, a group of investorssuedRipple, alleging the company’s periodic sales of XRP were unregistered issuances of securities. The case is now in the U.S. District Court of Southern California. In October, Judge Phyllis J. Hamiltondismissedmost of the plaintiffs’ claims but left three, on which the hearings will now proceed.\n“The lawsuit is a symptom of the absence of [regulatory] clarity in the U.S.” Alderoty said.\nIn the meantime, the SEC was becoming more aggressive in pursuing companies that sold tokens through ICOs. The agency effectively won its lawsuits againstTelegramandKik; while both suits resulted in settlements, the terms were generally favorable toward the SEC, making both companies pay fines for unregistered securities sales and, in the case of Telegram,putting an end to the project.\nTo be clear, Ripple did not conduct an ICO, but founders David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britto “gifted” 80 billion XRP to the company, which then sold it to users. However, the climate for token-funded projects in general has been getting more and more threatening over the past two years in the U.S.\nWhile Ripple has long insistedit did not create XRP, it isthe largest holderof the cryptocurrency and has relied heavily on selling the asset. The company “would not be profitable or cash flow positive [without selling XRP],” Garlinghousetold the Financial Timesin February. Ripple is also active on the buy side: the company is regularly purchasing XRP “to support healthy markets.”\n“Ripple generates revenue from multiple sources, but as a private company we don’t break out the details,” Ripple spokesperson wrote to CoinDesk. “That said, Ripple does software enterprise sales – no different than Oracle or Salesforce. Ripple also has not sold XRP programmatically for over a year which is outlined in our quarterly markets reports.”\nIn previous years, Ripple sold XRP in two parallel ways: programmatically and over the counter (OTC). While the programmatic sales werepausedin 2019, the OTC sales went on. According to theXRP Markets Reportspublished quarterly by Ripple, during 2020, the company has sold a little more than $70 million worth of XRP.\nHence, resolving XRP’s legal status is crucial for the company.\n“Ripple put a lot of money in their regulatory work,” a source familiar with Ripple’s business told CoinDesk. “At the very minimum, they tried every means to push the SEC to issue the statement that XRP should not be regarded as a security.”\nHowever, that did not happen, and seeing the SEC crack down on other token projects “it would be hard for Ripple not to worry about that,” the source said.\nWith XRP occupying an important place on Ripple’s balance sheet, if the SEC or a prolonged legal action ultimately deems the token a security, it might shake up the company’s entire business model.\nMoving out of the U.S. won’t get Ripple out of the U.S. jurisdiction, Alderoty said, Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

What Happened:TheApple Inc(NASDAQ:AAPL) supplier churned out the screens from its $26 million manufacturing facility located in Vietnam’s Quang Ninh province, ReutersreportedWednesday (Hanoi Time). Most of the screens made at the factory will be exported, according to a statement issued by Vietnam’s government. “Foxconn is preparing to expand the project and form a production complex,” according to the statement, which said the move would make it the largest exporter in the province, Reuters noted. Why It Matters:The Vietnamese government said that the Taiwanese manufacturer is set to expand the factory and produce up to one million display screens and televisions, which will generate $250 million in revenue next year, which will rise to $1 billion in later years. Meanwhile, Foxconnfailed to secure state tax creditsfor 2019 in Wisconsin after failing to meet job creation targets for two years in a row as of October. The state’s economic development agency said in a letter to Foxconn Vice Chairman Jay Lee that the iPhone maker is not anywhere near manufacturing large-screen televisions in the state as it had promised.

Today's Key News: ['By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss and Suzanne Barlyn NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose from 2-1/2-year lows on Friday, as European Union and British negotiators paused talks for a post-Brexit trade deal, weighing on sterling, though the greenback still posted its worst week in a month after investors shrugged off a weaker-than-expected U.S. employment report. In late trading, the dollar index rose 0.1% to $90.725 ahead of the weekend, climbing from its lowest level since April 2018. On the week, the index was down 1.3%, its largest weekly loss since early November. Britain and the European Union paused talks on Friday after failing to narrow differences sufficiently to reach a trade agreement, less than four weeks before Britain completes its Brexit journey out of the bloc. The negotiators, Britain\'s David Frost and the EU\'s Michel Barnier, said they would brief their leaders to seek new impetus for the talks. Upbeat announcements on COVID-19 vaccines have helped drive a rally in riskier currencies at the expense of the safe-haven dollar. The euro and Swiss franc, in contrast, were headed for their best week in a month against the dollar. The single European currency touched a 2-1/2-year high, while the Swiss franc rose to its highest in nearly six years. Data showed that U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by 245,000 jobs last month after rising by 610,000 in October. That was the smallest gain since the jobs recovery started in May. "The biggest development this afternoon has been what I\'m telling clients is a \'fakeout-breakout\' in pound sterling," said Toronto-based Erik Bregar, head of FX strategy for the Exchange Bank of Canada, referring to the possibility of a Brexit deal that is now on pause. "It makes me think about more downside afterwards." The renewed possibility that Congress might forge another U.S. fiscal stimulus package and enthusiasm about progress on the development of COVID-19 vaccines remain key drivers in foreign exchange, strategists said. Story continues The jobs data and surge in COVID-19 cases are unlikely to trigger a rush by the U.S. Federal Reserve to ramp up its bond-buying. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Evans told reporters on Friday that the Fed could assess asset purchases in springtime, when there is more clarity on the economic outlook. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday there was momentum behind talks on a coronavirus relief bill and that a bipartisan proposal could be the basis for relief negotiations. That should keep risk appetite higher. The euro has been one of the biggest winners from recent dollar weakness, breaking decisively above $1.20 this week. The single currency rose to $1.2177, its highest since April 2018, and was last down 0.2% at $1.2118. Against the Swiss franc, the dollar recovered to trade slightly higher at 0.8910 franc, after earlier dropping to a nearly six-year low of 0.8886 franc. The greenback was last down .06% at 0.8903. The dollar gained 0.3% against the yen to 104.15 yen. Sterling fell 0.2% against the dollar to $1.3423 after trade talks for a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union hit a snag ahead of the weekend. Bitcoin pulled back to trade late on Friday at $18,906.54 after failing to break above $20,000 for the first time earlier this week.

PayMe+ is built onPayIDtechnology, the universal ID for payments that uses a simple, open standard to help people easily send and receive money using a single, secure payment ID. It works like email for payments, across any payment network and currency. With PayMe+ users can now register their PayID, create multiple PayMe+ addresses, attach custom labels to them, and connect a wide range of payment networks. Users can link cryptocurrency blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP, and traditional payment networks such as SEPA, PayPal, and Venmo. “PayID has great potential as a technology protocol. On the other hand, there is still no easy way for a user to register their PayID and benefit from a universal payment identifier. This is why we’re excited to launch the PayMe+ app, the first app on the market that allows anyone to register PayID identifiers in a matter of seconds!” -Dmitri Litvinovich, Chief Product Officer at CoinField. Users can share their PayMe+ address to receive payment on any of their linked networks. It means users no longer have to share separate wallet addresses for each network. Designed for any individual or business that receives money, PayID removes the headache of using long and complicated wallet addresses and multiple payment apps. With one simple universal ID for all payment networks, users can receive money effortlessly. “PayMe+ is another step forward in achieving a truly open payments network and creating real interoperability in payments. We are excited to see the PayMe+ app launch to bring PayID to more consumers and further our collective goal of establishing one single standard for sending and receiving money,” saidMichael Zochowski, Director of Product Management at Ripple. The PayMe+ app is available for free on both theApp Storeand onGoogle Play. Creating a PayMe+ address is also free. Users can learn more about PayMe+ and download the app atwww.payme.plus.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 4.10% on Friday. Reversing a 1.14% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,652.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $19,550.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $19,751, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day low $18,701.0. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $19,023 and the second major support level at $18,598. Through the afternoon, Bitcoin briefly revisited $19,150 levels before sliding back into the deep red. The brief recovery had seen Bitcoin move back through the support levels before the 2 nd sell-off. Bitcoin fell back through the first and second major support levels to a late intraday low $18,600.0. Late in the day, however, Bitcoin moved back through the second major resistance level to end the day at $18,650 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Bitcoin Cash SV rose by 3.29% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $20,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $19,884.

Reversing a 1.05% loss from the previous week, Bitcoin ended the week at $19,410.0. It was a bullish start to the week. Bitcoin rallied from a Monday intraweek low $18,196.0 to a Tuesday intraweek high and a new swing hi $19,956.00 before hitting reverse. The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $19,268 and the second major resistance level at $19,884. A pullback on Tuesday saw Bitcoin fall back through the resistance level to a low $18,279.0 before finding support. Mid-week, Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level at $19,268 to revisit $19,600 levels before easing back. 5 days in the green that included an 8.25% rally on Monday and a bullish weekend delivered the upside for the week. For the week ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through $19,187 pivot to support a run the first major resistance level at $20,179. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week\x92s high $19,956. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $21,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $20,947. Failure to avoid a fall through the $19,187 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,419 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$17,500 support levels. The second major support level sits at $17,427. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.57% to $19,300.0. A mixed start to the week saw Bitcoin rise to an early Monday morning high $19,460.0 before falling to a low $18,300.0.

The most-traded digital coin slid 3.1% to $16,522.61 at 11:05 a.m. in New York. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index extended a two-day plunge to about 19% -- its biggest since mid-March. The rout was kicked off by worries over the prospect of tighter crypto rules in the U.S. and profit-taking after a big rally, investors said. Even with the slump, Bitcoin has more than doubled this year -- an advance that has split opinion. Crypto believers tout a broadening investor base and the search for a hedge against dollar weakness as reasons for a durable boom. Critics point to a history of big swings, including a spectacular boom and bust three years ago. “We will see some choppy water in the short term as the market finds new levels before attempting another assault on the all-time high” said crypto analyst Jason Dean at Quantum Economics. “The pullback so far would not concern experienced Bitcoin traders or holders to any significant degree.” Read more: Bitcoin Fights Back With Power, Speed and Millions of Users Proponents of digital assets say the current focus on cryptocurrencies compared with 2017 is different because of growing institutional interest, for instance from the likes of Fidelity Investments and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Just this week, Van Eck Associates Corp. launched a Bitcoin exchange-traded note on the Deutsche Boerse Xetra exchange. In October, PayPal Holdings Inc. said it would allow customers access to cryptocurrencies. FOMO “After big rallies in shares and various other assets, they are all vulnerable to a bit of a pause,” said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors Ltd. in Sydney. “Bitcoin more than most, as it surged higher far more and had become far more frothy with speculative interest.” Others see signs of retail investors piling in to chase momentum for fast gains, storing up an inevitable reckoning. The rout in Bitcoin began just hours after it rose to within $7 of its record high of $19,511 set in December 2017. Profit-taking was inevitable and there are still factors in favor of Bitcoin as an asset class, according to Byron Goldberg in Sydney, who runs the Australian operations for Luno, the cryptocurrency exchange and trading platform. “It continues to attract both institutional and retail attention as a 21st-century substitute to the gold play,” he said. Crypto ‘Whales’ A few large holders often referred to as whales own most Bitcoin. About 2% of the anonymous ownership accounts that can be tracked on the cryptocurrency’s blockchain control 95% of the digital asset, according to researcher Flipside Crypto. That structure points to the risk of big price swings if major investors offload some of their stakes. “Bitcoin may be a victim of its own success,” said Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Plc in Sydney. “Traders suggested several large holders moved to lock in gains as the cryptocurrency reached for all-time highs.” AMP Capital’s Oliver said the depth of the recent plunge shows Bitcoin is “hardly a secure store of value,” adding it may be vulnerable if Covid-19 vaccines lead to a sharp global recovery next year. “Money printing and the debasement of paper currencies that Bitcoin enthusiasts are seeking to protect against may start to fade as an issue,” Oliver said.

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

At the end of 2019, assets under management stood at just $2.57 billion. Grayscale, the world's largest crypto fund had $336.3 million in inflows the latest week, lifting its assets under management to more than $12.4 billion. So far this year, Grayscale has amassed inflows of $4.3 billion, the Coinshares report said. "On an anecdotal level, based on our client conversations over the course of 2020, we have seen a decisive shift from enquiries of a speculative nature to those that begin with comments such as, 'bitcoin is here to stay, please help us understand it'," said James Butterfill, investment strategist at CoinShares. "Given the levels of interest, this suggests we are only on the cusp of institutional adoption rather than it cooling down." The largest weekly inflow on record was $468 million three weeks ago. Bitcoin products and bitcoin-focused funds attracted inflows of $334.7 million last week. Inflows to the original cryptocurrency have totaled nearly $4 billion so far this year. The largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization hit a record high just under $20,000 last week but has since stalled at around $19,000. It was last down more than 2% at $18,976.35. In contrast, gold saw outflows from investment products of a record US$9.2 billion over the last four weeks while bitcoin saw inflows totalling $1.4 billion in the same period, the report said. But inflows into gold products remained higher on the year at $45.7 billion. Ethereum, the second largest digital currency, had $87.1 million in inflows in the latest period. Investors have become more bullish on ethereum likely because Ethereum management provided greater clarity on the much-awaited upgrades that make the network much more efficient and sustainable, the report said.

Given that ether is trading roughly 59% below its all-time high of $1,432.88, it is tempting to believe there’s a bargain to be had. What’s more, the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade to increase the network’s scalability, security and energy efficiency has generated a lot of hype.

Related:Kraken Exchange to Offer First Grants for Open-Source Ethereum Projects “For institutional investors, they are buying BTC for the digital gold narrative,” Ryan Watkins, senior research analyst at Messari, told CoinDesk. “ETH just isn’t in that conversation yet.” Ether “benefits from spillover and likely has more conversation around it from crypto-natives,” Vishal Shah, founder of derivatives exchange Alpha5, told CoinDesk. “For the uninitiated, [it is] hard to see how bitcoin is not the sole on-ramp.” Some analysts say that as more institutions pour money into bitcoin and push up its price, ether and other cryptocurrencies will gradually decouple from bitcoin. Indeed, while bitcoin this week logged a record high price, ether isn’t even close to its all-time high of $1,448.18. Data from CoinDesk shows the 90-day correlation coefficient between the prices of the top two cryptocurrencies, while still strong, has gradually weakened a bit since the summer from as high as 0.93 to nearly 0.7 at the beginning of December. “The thing about correlation is it can disappear at any time,” Ashwath Balakrishnan, research analyst at digital asset research firm Delphi Digital, told CoinDesk. “In that case, you want to understand the core fundamentals of what you hold because if you hold ether as a proxy [to your] bitcoin exposure, and [when] prices decouple, you are now exposed to something very different.” Bitcoin has been used by many investors this year as a hedge against a drop in the purchasing power of U.S. dollars. Ether is considered the currency of “the world computer,” which aims to build an ecosystem of decentralized applications. The close historical correlation between bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may be due to how tiny the digital-asset ecosystem is relative to the global economy. The total market capitalization of crypto assets is estimatedat $562 billion, a mere 1.7% of the S&P 500 stock index’s combined market cap of $32.2 trillion. With almost every crypto asset built on different fundamentals, non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies may be trending with bitcoin prices simply because the nascent market is still so small and insular. Read more:Volume Surge Brings 25% Turnover to ‘CoinDesk 20’ Correlation datadoesn’t tell the whole story. Prices may move in tandem but the degree to which that happens is another matter. When the explosive decentralized finance (DeFi) boom hit the market during the summer, ether’s pricerallied to its highest in more than two yearsbecause most DeFi projects are built on the Ethereum blockchain. At the time, bitcoin was struggling to break a similar two-year record. The market will have to wait and see what kind of real impact the ongoing Ethereum upgrade could have on its native currency because the final phase of the process is scheduled to be completed in 2023. But a major fundamental upgrade on the network underpinning ether could lead its price to move on its own fundamentals, instead of merely following bitcoin’s price. “The heart of ETH 2.0, which makes the entire system possible, is ether,” according toa reportby Messari. “ETH will not only be Ethereum’s native store of value asset and fuel for transactions, but will also be Ethereum’s ultimate source of security from its role in the [proof-of-stake] system.” Thus, while bitcoin can be seen as somewhere between a store of value and a commodity on the “asset superclass triangle,” ether could ultimately become the first asset to be a combination of all three classes of assets: capital assets, commodities and stores of value. “When ether’s price starts to be driven by its own catalysts, holding it as a proxy to having BTC exposure will not work as expected,” Balakrishnan added. • Why Ethereum and Bitcoin Are Very Different Investments • Why Ethereum and Bitcoin Are Very Different Investments... - Reddit Posts (Sample): []...

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

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 Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF BLCN, Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF BLOK, First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF LEGR, iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF SOXX and VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF SMH. Here are highlights from Friday’s Analyst Blog: ETFs to Gain on Growing Viability of Cryptocurrencies As soon as COVID-19 hit the globe, social distancing mandates and fears that notes may be carriers of the virus made the concept of digital currency popular. Be it corporations or central banks – all are mulling over the greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies. Notably, bitcoin is up about 80% this year as cryptocurrencies are drawing considerable attention this year. Bitcoin crossed the mark of $12,000 lately and marked its highest level since July 2019 on Oct 21. Corporations’ Greater Acceptance On Oct 21, PayPal announced that it will allow customers to hold bitcoin and other virtual coins in its online wallet and shop using cryptocurrencies at the 26 million merchants on its network. The new service makes PayPal one of the largest U.S. companies to provide consumers access to cryptocurrencies. This is great news for bitcoin and rival cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin jumped about 7% on Oct 21 on the PayPal news. PayPal competitor Square launched support for bitcoin back in 2018 through its Cash app. Square also bought $50 million in bitcoin this month as part of a larger investment in cryptocurrency. However, PayPal is broadening the area by supporting bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. PayPal also plans to extend support to its money-sending subsidiary Venmo and international markets starting in the first half of 2021. Story continues For now, the plan is only to support U.S. users. Notably, U.S. account holders will be able to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies in their PayPal wallets over the coming weeks, the company said, as quoted on Reuters. Other companies those accept bitcoins include Microsoft, AT&T, Dish Network, Burger King, Domino’s Pizza, Goldman Sachs, Intuit Inc, American online retailer Overstock, Shopify, Virgin Galactic, Zynga and Etsy,among others. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Concept Spreading Several central banks are considering the rollout of CBDCs lately. China has been taking serious moves toward no-touch payments. In efforts to match with China, seven major central banks last week set the key principles for issuing CBDCs, per Reuters. China's recent experimental $1.5 million (1.16 million pounds) giveaway of digital yuan to Shenzhen citizens received kudos from currency analysts. Sweden’s Central Bank, Riksbank is also conducting a pilot project with Accenture to prepare e-krona. The European Central Bank (ECB) is mulling over the rollout of a "digital euro" for the 19-nation currency club. The ECB launched a public consultation on a potential digital euro on Oct 12. In its 2020-2024 strategic plan, the Bank of Spain also said that it will focus on design proposals for a central bank digital currency. On Oct 19, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve, said that the Fed is committed to considering a CBDC but made no final call on it. The Fed wants “to get it right than be first,” said Jerome Powell. “One set of experiments is being carried out at the board of governors here in Washington, D.C.,” Powell said. How to Invest in the Recent Rise of Cryptocurrencies? Investors can choose to invest in options like blockchain ETFs. Per a source, “the blockchain in Bitcoin literally acts [as] a ledger; it keeps track of the balances for all users and updates them as money changes hands.” “Invented to host bitcoin, today many other cryptocurrencies are also based on blockchain technology.” So, since investors cannot lay their hands on a digital currency ETF now, they can definitely familiarize with the concept through blockchain ETFs like Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF , Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF and First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF . Also, ETFs offering exposure to the blockchain ecosystem via semiconductor companies that make chips for bitcoin mining (or could make for some potential CBDCs) can be played.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 1.61% on Thursday. Reversing a 1.25% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,260.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $18,568.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,878, Bitcoin fell to a mid-afternoon intraday low $17,935.0. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $17,990 before a brief revisit to $18,300 levels late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Polkadot bucked the trend on the day, with a 0.1% gain. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Chainlink slid by 5.72% to lead the way down, with Cardano’s ADA (-4.24%) and Litecoin (-3.50%) also struggling. Binance Coin (-1.69%), Bitcoin Cash SV , (-1.46%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.66%), Ethereum (-2.61%), and Ripple’s XRP (-1.92%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $569.88bn before falling to a Wednesday low $509.70bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $525.77bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 64.26% before falling to a Wednesday low 63.03%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.80%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.03% to $18,072.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $18,299.0 before falling to a low $18,070.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a bearish start to the day for the majors. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 2.69% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $18,254 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,574 into play. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $18,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $18,887 and resistance at $19,000 would likely come into play. Failure to move back through the $18,254 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,941 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $17,621.

Announced today,LVL(pronounced “level,” as in playing field) is making its entire service free to use. LVL, which is backed by Morgan Creek Digital’s Anthony Pompliano andbitcoinadvocates Jimmy Song and Willy Woo, previously had no trading fees but only for subscription users. LVL is also partnering with Mastercard to release two debit cards in early 2021. A standard plastic debit card will be available to free-tier users for a $10 issuing fee, while a metal Mastercard is included with three months of LVL’s Premium service.

So now in North America, there’s a regulated exchange that’s 100% free to use.” Read more:Bitcoin Trading Fees on PayPal, Robinhood, Cash App and Coinbase: What to Know LVL’s point is that large U.S. exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini with remarkably similarpricingschemescreate a lack of competition. If it takes a scrappy minnow with just $2.5 million raised to date to disrupt the monopoly effects of these crypto exchanges, Slaughter said, then bring it on.

We’re registered with FinCEN. And not only do we have bank accounts, they are full checking accounts.” (LVL also provides FDIC insurance on those accounts through banking platform Evolve, Slaughter said.) The exchange makes its money, Slaughter explained, by charging $3 for withdrawals, which primarily covers network fees. (Coinbase chargesa $1-$5 network fee.) The trading platform also charges $5 for same-day bank transfers and wires, which covers the exchange’s risk provisioning credit to users and generates some income for LVL, Slaughter said. The premium service at $9 per month, which also includes live-chat facility with a banker, is the means by which LVL Autopilot brings liquidity to the platform. The system runs industry-standard market-making algorithms, providing liquidity to traders and generating passive income for the Autopilot user, says Slaughter. “Based on our current number of pro users, and the way we expect liquidity to grow following this announcement, we expect to pass Coinbase’s liquidity within the 2% band in January,” said Slaughter.

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 1.17% on Friday. Following on from a 1.61% decline on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,049.9. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $18,299.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,574, Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $17,629.0. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $17,941. Finding support at the second major support level at $17,621, Bitcoin briefly revisited $18,190 levels before ending the day at sub-$18,100. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bearish day on Friday. Litecoin and Ripple’s XRP slid by 3.39% and by 3.72% respectively to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV , (-2.28%), Chainlink (-2.05%), Ethereum (-2.65%) and Polkadot (-2.70%) and also saw relatively heavy losses. Binance Coin (-1.21%), Cardano’s ADA (-1.79%), and Crypto.com Coin (-1.69%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $569.88bn before falling to a Friday low $509.01bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $531.62bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 64.26% before falling to a Wednesday low 63.03%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.01%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.62% to $18,342.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $18,049.9 to a high $18,400.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $18,356 early on before easing back. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

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

The Boeing Market Outlook forecasts Chinas airlines to acquire 8,600 new airplanes worth $1.4 trillion and commercial aviation services for $1.7 trillion over the next 20 years. That will help the aircraft producer to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis . The U.S. planemaker said the worlds second-largest economy has seen rapid growth in middle-class income, robust economic growth and fast-growing urbanization, indicating the country will lead passenger travel globally over the next few years. Boeing forecasts Chinas annual passenger traffic growth to be 5.5% over the next 20 years. Late last month, Boeing reported a loss for the fourth consecutive time in the third quarter as the slowdown in air travel demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and grounding of 737 MAX hammered aircraft sales. Boeing shares closed 3.46% lower at $182.15 on Wednesday; the stock is down about 45% so far this year. Executive Comments While COVID-19 has severely impacted every passenger market worldwide, Chinas fundamental growth drivers remain resilient and robust, said Richard Wynne, managing director, China Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Not only has Chinas recovery from COVID-19 outpaced the rest of the world, but also continued government investments toward improving and expanding its transportation infrastructure, large regional traffic flows, and a flourishing domestic market mean this region of the world will thrive. Boeing Stock Price Forecast Seventeen equity analysts forecast the average price in 12 months at $182.94 with a high forecast of $260.00 and a low forecast of $137.00. The average price target represents a 0.43% increase from the last price of $182.15. From those 17 analysts, eight rated Buy, eight rated Hold and one rated Sell, according to Tipranks. Story continues Morgan Stanley gave the base target price of $165 with a high of $238 under a bull-case scenario and $68 under the worst-case scenario. The firm currently has an Underweight rating on the global aerospace companys stock. UBS Group set a $150 target price on the Boeing. The firm currently has a neutral rating on the aircraft producers stock. Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. JP Morgan raised their stock price forecast to $190 from $155. Alembic Global Advisors upgraded shares of the Boeing to an overweight rating from a neutral rating and raised their price target to $184 from $150. Credit Suisse Group dropped their price objective to $74 from $84 and set a neutral rating on the stock. Canaccord Genuity reaffirmed a hold rating and issued a $155.00 price objective on shares. Analyst Comments We view Boeing as a relative Underweight as we see better opportunities in the aftermarket. We view Boeings order book to be more at risk post-COVID than consensus based on our analysis. The main reasons are: 1) A vaccine will not fix airlines ability to take deliveries overnight; 2) the 737 MAX delay trigger cancellation rights; and 3) the potential for additional 737 MAX delays is still outstanding, said Kristine Liwag, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley. Based on our bottom-up MS Aerospace Retirement Analysis, we estimate there is a $73 billion downside risk to Boeings revenue in 2020-2025. If air traffic does not quickly recover back to 2019 levels and airlines dont regain pre-COVID-19 profitability, there are significant risks of cancellations. Upside and Downside Risks Risks to Upside: 1) 737 MAX successful re-entry into service converts inventory into cash. 2) Acceleration of aircraft retirements boost new aircraft demand. 3) Profitable customer airlines order new aircraft highlighted by Morgan Stanley. Risks to Downside: 1) Potential additional 737 MAX delays create additional downside risk to the program. 2) Delayed aircraft retirements lower new aircraft demand. 3) Distressed customers financials trigger order cancellations.

The skeptics had been proven wrong.\nFinixio has been keeping a close eye on this story for years. The media company publishes a wide variety of content and has done for several years. As a result their expertise in the area is second to none, and they are making their forecast on its future....\nThe History\nIn 2017, Bitcoin rocked the market by reaching an unforeseen peak of $19,783. This made professionals and amateurs alike stand at attention and start to take cryptocurrencies seriously.\nThe dream didn’t last long. Bitcoin was still an extremely volatile asset and the currency crashed spectacularly shortly after. It lost 25% of its value in only a day and by late 2018 it was valued under $4,000. There was no shortage of financial skepticism regarding its future.\nBut Bitcoin had been worth only hundreds in 2016 and mere cents in 2008. Despite its colossal fall, it had stabilized at a price that would still make early adopters unbelievable profits.\nThe Present\nEighteen days before the third year anniversary of its previous high, Bitcoin reached a value of $19,857.03. It began the year around $7100 and by October, it was already exhibiting an amazingly profitable year.\nRenewed interest was sparking, and financial experts had started making amazing predictions from late spring. By the summer it was becoming clear that crypto and digital currency would have a huge role to play in the new global economy.\nBTC started November at $14,000 and ended it with a bang. Monday’s peak was followed by an expected devaluation. By Thursday trading had gone down slightly with exchange data showing only $990 million in trades versus Wednesday’s $1.3 B and November $1.5 B average.\nHowever, this time around people are not expecting a crash. In fact, both enthusiastic and cautious investors are predicting significant gains for Bitcoin in the next two years.\nA Volatile Asset\nEstimates vary wildly as to where the price of Bitcoin will land. Some say that it may reach $60,000 by next year, others believe it might even break $100,000.\nBut Finixio’s own Adam Grunwerg warns that Bitcoin is still a very volatile asset that’s likely to keep experiencing ebbs and flows. In the next year we could see fluctuations as big as 20-30% in BTC value.” As a partner who has traded the rise and fall and rise of the currency over many years, he has the experience to back this up.\nHowever, crypto trading expert Adam is largely optimistic about the future “These fluctuations are not going to be enough to slow it down. Bitcoin will likely break $50,000 in 2021.”\nThe market trend is clear. Despite Bitcoin’s variability, new bull cycles see the highs go higher and the lows get higher as well. This is to say that Bitcoin keeps breaking its previous records and stabilizing at higher prices after its drops.\nWhere is the Trust Coming From?\nThe reason for investors’ newfound faith in crypto has to do with who is doing the investing. In 2017, Bitcoin’s price was driven up by individual investors who believed in the future and value of the technology. At the time though, Bitcoin was not a reputable investment.

Nagy noted his company doesn’t hold bitcoin, instead preferring to convert to fiat without delay due to the digital asset’s volatility.

Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $18,720.7 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $18,264, Bitcoin rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $19,416.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $19,158 before falling back to sub-$19,100 levels. Finding support in the final hour, however, Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to end the day at $19,180 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the recovery to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish end to the week. Cardano’s ADA (+6.48%), Chainlink (+5.93%), and Litecoin (+7.14%) led the way. Binance Coin (+3.37%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.75%), and Ethereum (+3.89%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.58%), Polkadot (+1.29%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.27%) trailed the front runners, however. For the week ending 13 th December, it was a bearish week for the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP led the way down, sliding by 17.78%. Bitcoin Cash SV (-7.1%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.06%), Chainlink (-4.32%), Crypto.com Coin (-3.94%), and Polkadot (-3.58%) also struggled. Binance Coin (-1.39%), Ethereum (-1.86%), and Litecoin (-1.65%) saw relatively modest losses in the week. For the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $569.88bn before falling to a Friday low $509.01bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $551.5bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Wednesday low 63.03% before rising to a Sunday high 64.71%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.24%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.55% to $19,074.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $19,180.0 to a low $19.071.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.74%. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.99% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $19,106 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,490 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $19,416.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $19,801 and resistance at $20,000 would likely come into play. Failure to move back through the $19,106 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,795 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$18,500 levels.

MassMutual is the latest legacy institution to buy into bitcoin. And the number of Ethereum developers is growing at a breathless pace. Top shelf Whales and krill New data from OKEx and Kaiko suggests that bitcoin “whales” – the mega-wealthy crypto investors and, potentially, institutions – were selling at market highs as retail investors bought in . Trading data of the bitcoin/ tether pair on OKEx’s platform between August and November showed that during the November bitcoin rally whales took profits and bought the dip, while smaller buyers continued purchasing as they did in September and October, despite higher prices in the oldest cryptocurrency, and panic sold around the Thanksgiving pullback. While the picture is likely more complicated, OKEx’s data shows how small buyers are faced with “swimming with the tide or against it,” by holding positions largely influenced by major buyers and sellers. Mass buy Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance, a $235 billion insurance giant, purchased $100 million worth of bitcoin and invested $5 million in the crypto asset manager NYDIG. MassMutual told the Wall Street Journal it was a seeking “measured yet meaningful” stake in an increasingly digital world by taking on direct exposure to bitcoin. The life insurance company is the latest institutional stalwart to join bitcoin’s march into the financial mainstream, joining other publicly traded corporations and multi-billion dollar money managers in embracing bitcoin’s “macro” play.

Some $76.5 million was raised in an initial public offering, which sold off two types of shares that offer exposure to ether , Ethereum’s native currency. In going public, the firm’s ether product marks a “world first,” according to a tweet by the fund manager on Thursday. 3iQ successfully launched a similar bitcoin fund earlier this year.

Last year, Griffith, a 37-year-old American computer science doctorate, was arrested and detained for violating U.S. sanctions against North Korea, after he travelled to the nation to present on the decentralized, public blockchain Ethereum. The Ethereum Foundation staffer and research scientist presented on how to utilize this open cryptocurrency network for local and international transfers, at the Pyongyang Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference. This information – essentially that ether is uncensorable – is decidedly in the public domain. He did not receive an honorarium for his presentation. Now, Griffith’s attorneys are left wondering what the boy genius is accused of. In a new court filing the defense is requesting “particulars” about what services Griffith allegedly provided, who else was involved and how these services violated U.S. law. (He traveled to the nation even after his request for permission to do so from the State Department had been denied.) “The defense should not be forced to use a decoder ring on over 6,800 pages of discovery – much of which has been heavily redacted by the government – to discern the basic information that should be present in every indictment: what crimes were actually alleged to have been committed, by whom, and where,” they write. So what’s at stake? Only the civil liberties guaranteed and protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The count against Griffith is conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as well as some associated legal violations. Though prosecutors were shy of specifics. (The IEEPA provides broad executive powers to place economic sanctions on individuals, businesses, governments and other entities – thereby prohibiting U.S. persons and corporations from dealing with sanctioned nations.) Notably, under the 1988 Berman Amendment, the IEEPA prohibits sanctioning the transfer of information or “informational materials.” That includes the type of speech freely available online. The question now is whether Griffith provided a service to the North Korean government, a point his defense has rebuked. Even if it’s granted that Griffith traveled to a sanctioned nation – a big taboo – and broke defense mandates limiting the type of “services” or information one can provide to an adversarial nation – it’s likely the information Griffith presented on would not be sanctionable . Griffith’s presentation was titled “Blockchain and Peace,” and according to the complaint it addressed “how a blockchain technology, including a ‘smart contract,’ could be used to benefit” North Korea. As the FBI itself has said, it contained “basic concepts accessible on the internet.” Who won #CryptoTwitter?

This year there have been a number of positive factors pushing bitcoin higher, such as the announcement thatPayPal(NASDAQ:PYPL) is adding features enabling users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.Square(NYSE:SQ) also made recent announcements adding bitcoin to its holdings.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $19,379 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,687 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $19,607.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,700 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $19,916 and resistance at $20,000 could come into play. Failure to move back through the $19,379 pivot would bring the first major support level at $19,150 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $18,842.

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

We need a way to make cash flows deterministic. We should be able to set rules around trades and transfers. We should be able to do this without bloated back offices performing manual reconciliations and without requiring developers to integrate across an entire fragmented universe of systems built on COBOL and teetering on top of mainframes. The race is on to solve these issues. On one team, cryptocurrency entrepreneurs are taking a first-principles approach, starting with completely new assets and new infrastructure in order to get “ programmable money .” On another team, fintech builders are tackling the problem by building around the systems that already exist: Simple APIs will grant us “ autonomous finance .” Both approaches promise a new day for the retail experience of finance, but they are taking very different paths to get there. Jill Carlson, a CoinDesk columnist, is co-founder of the Open Money Initiative, a non-profit research organization working to guarantee the right to a free and open financial system. She is also an investor in early-stage startups with Slow Ventures. Related: All-In on DeFi: Why the Days of Centralized Exchanges Are Numbered Programmable money is the aim of many cryptocurrency protocols and the goal of many applications built on Ethereum. Because cryptocurrencies are issued, owned, traded and settled in a natively digital form, they are able to be manipulated directly by code. Escrow terms, credit events, multiparty ownership and all manner of other interactions and behaviors can be enshrined in smart contracts . Again, the goal here is to replace the old intermediated and inefficient financial system that exists today. Projects like Compound are tackling this in money markets, Cozy in risk management and Uniswap in exchange. Autonomous finance, on the other hand, does not seek to reinvent the system altogether. Rather, the aim is to build into and among the legacy infrastructure of finance, crafting middleware that enables money management to become “smart” and money movement to feel fast, even when running on old rails. Those taking this approach recognize that sometimes the most practical road to the future is actually just a patching and repaving of the asphalt. Story continues While the larger cryptocurrency ecosystem has much more revolutionary aims over the long run, the immediate goals of the programmable money crowd are very much aligned with those of autonomous finance. Plaid, which Visa has agreed to buy for $5.3 billion, is arguably the original in this category: enabling customers to make their financial data available to fintechs like neobanks, lenders and savings tools. Following Plaid, API tools have come along to tackle just about every vertical of someone’s financial life: their credit score, their payroll, their student loans, their insurance contracts. While Plaid is “read only,” many of these tools now offer read and write access, enabling fintech companies to make withdrawals and deposits from accounts programmatically . Related: Ethereum, Dark Forests and the Limits of Transparency While the larger cryptocurrency ecosystem has much more revolutionary aims over the long run, the immediate goals of the programmable money crowd are very much aligned with those of autonomous finance. We should be able to create or copy rulesets for our financial lives and let them run and optimize themselves. All of our bank accounts and financial products should be able to transact against each other without our involvement. Checking account running low and rent payment due? Your savings account should automatically cover it. Took out a loan and need to post collateral? Your brokerage account should be able to do so without even the touch of a button. Money should be self-driving. See also: Jill Carlson – What Goldman Gets Wrong About Bitcoin (From Someone Who Used to Work There) Given the overlap of goals here, it is surprising to see that these two sides – decentralized finance and fintech APIs – rarely meet. Investors in crypto could learn many lessons from those in fintech who are deep in the weeds of what is practical and realistic within the constraints of the current system. Conversely, mainstream fintech investors may find compelling opportunities within the enormous, disruptive dream of cryptocurrency. Builders, too, would benefit. Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and protocol developers might find that they are already using (and could benefit from further leveraging) the APIs and tools being developed in the world of fintech. And fintech builders may find their minds opened to larger horizons by spending a bit of time down the crypto rabbit hole.

The uptrend began in early September after buyers bought a dip below $10,000, and gathered pace in the second half of October. Last week, prices reached a high of $15,971, a level last seen in January 2018. That’s a 63% price gain in eight weeks, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Flat at $15.3K; Crypto Locked in DeFi at All-Time High Over 2018 and 2019, bitcoin often languished below $10,000, struggling to recover from a crash that followed the late 2017 surge to record highs near $20,000. So, what’s behind the rapid gains in recent weeks? Here are three of the primary factors driving the bull market: “Over the past eight weeks, we have seen various notable public companies and hedge funds enter the cryptocurrency market with sizable deployment of capital,” Matthew Dibb, co-founder, and COO of Singapore-based Stack Funds said. On Sept. 15, listed business intelligence firm MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR)announced the purchaseof $250 million worth of bitcoins, and three weeks later payments company Square (NYSE: SQ) alsodisclosed its investmentin the bitcoin market. Related:Legendary Investor Stan Druckenmiller Turns Bitcoin Bull In October, leverage in the derivatives market was also skewed bullish, with institutions holding record long positions in bitcoin futures listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Also read:Institutions Take Record Bullish Bets in Bitcoin Futures, Shrugging Off Exchange Missteps The increased institutional participation likely created upward pressure on prices. Further, it buoyed broader market sentiment and likely prompted more buyers to join the market. The number of bitcoin whale entities – clusters of addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 BTC –rose to four-year highsat the end of October. Retail participation increased, too, as suggested by the “accumulation addresses” metricrising to record highs. Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, expectations for additional U.S. fiscal stimulus alongside the Federal Reserve’s ongoing inflation-boosting bond purchase programs have triggered fears of a dollar sell-off, and motivated both institutions and retailers to put at least some money into bitcoin. “The talks of further stimulus efforts has put bitcoin on the map as a quasi-safe haven, possessing many of the store-of-value qualities of gold, despite its relatively [brief] existence,” Dibb said. Also read:World’s Growing Stockpile of Negative-Yielding Debt a Positive for Bitcoin, Say Analysts Large spot buyers, mostly institutions, have created a shortfall in bitcoin liquidity, pressuring prices to the higher side. “Between Grayscale’s GBTC trust, MicroStrategy and the influx of other large spot buyers, the supply of bitcoin is beginning to look more scarce,” Dibb said. Grayscale is owned by CoinDesk’s parent firm, Digital Currency Group. Further, retail investors took direct custody of their coins by moving them from exchanges to their own wallets, adding to the drying up of sell-side liquidity. The total number of bitcoins held on cryptocurrency exchanges has fallen 9% to 2,404,788 BTC in the past two months, according toGlassnode data. The decline in exchange balances is indicative of strong holding sentiment in the market. Bitcoin’s bullish bias strengthened following the cryptocurrency’s convincing break above $12,500 in the third week of October. Back then, many analysts had pointed to $12,500 as the level to beat for the bulls. That’s because the cryptocurrency had declined sharply following a rejection near $12,500 in August. “The real resistance level is around $12,500-ish, so, until a meaningful breakout above that level, nothing is done,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer at ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk on Oct. 20. Indeed, the eventual breakout above $12,500 looks to have invited stronger chart-driven buying pressure. Bitcoin ended the third week of October above the key hurdle and remained bid in the following two weeks. Now support, at $12,500, hasn’t been tested since.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 66.88%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.48% to $23,693.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $23,810.0 before falling to a low $23,668.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the majors. Chainlink and Polkadot bucked the trend early on, with gains of 0.01% and 0.63% respectively. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Litecoin and Ripple’s XRP led the way down, with losses of 1.07% and 1.05% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $23.566 to bring the first major resistance level at $24,365 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $24,123.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $24,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $25,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $24,921. Failure to avoid a fall through the $23,566 pivot would bring the first major support level at $23,010 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$22,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $22,211.

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

Celsius, a crypto loan company, tapped into the renewed bitcoin fever to raise $20 million via an equity crowdfunding in August to support its operations. Mashinsky contends that the supply is so scarce for bitcoin and demand so great that up is the only likely direction for the crypto to head over time. Judging by the action of late in bitcoin, other investors agree with Mashinskys thinking. Bitcoin prices surged beyond the $20,000 mark this week and hit fresh record highs. On Thursday, prices crept to about $23,000. Year-to-date bitcoin prices are up about 224%. Bitcoin prices have hit new records. Credit: Getty The sizable year-end move in bitcoin is giving some investors in the space a flashback to the big run-up seen in 2017. Bitcoin prices surged to $17,000 by mid December 2017, only to plunge to $3,100 or so a year later as speculators were crushed under the weight of their own greed and a raft of unfriendly news. But industry pros say this time is different because of newfound institutional demand for bitcoin. The buying, pros think, only supports the view of bitcoin as a credible alternative to fiat currencies. This month, insurance giant MassMutal unveiled a $100 million investment in bitcoin for its general investment account. PayPal continues to buy up bitcoin to support the recent launch of the capability to buy, sell and trade cryptocurrency from a PayPal account. Bitcoin is for everyone, longtime bitcoin bull Mike Novogratz told Yahoo Finance Live .

This decrease primarily resulted from lower sales volumes in the chemicals segment and lower biofuel selling prices driven by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the absence of an agrochemical product we no longer make. Partially offsetting this decline in the three and nine-month period was increased biofuels sales volumes. Story continues Gross profit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $984 and $11,762 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily from: i) the blenders’ tax credit (“BTC”) being in effect for the current period and not in effect in the prior year; ii) increased sales volumes of biofuels; and iii) the change in the unrealized and realized activity in derivative instruments. The change in derivatives was a gain of $867 and $322 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in derivatives had a greater impact in the nine-month comparison period with a gain of $6,789 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and a loss of $711 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Partially offsetting these increases in gross profit was the reduction in chemical sales volumes as described above. Also impacting gross profit in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was the adjustment in the carrying value of our inventory as determined utilizing the LIFO method of inventory accounting. In the three months ended September 30, 2020 this adjustment decreased gross profit $628 and increased gross profit $557 in the three months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, this adjustment increased gross profit $2,266 and $2,480, respectively. Net Income Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $268 and $25,284, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. This increase resulted primarily from biodiesel tax credits and incentives that were in effect in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 that were not in effect for 2019 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements) and tax law changes in the first nine months of 2020 not in effect for 2019. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, income was also benefited by other income from the resolution of a prior year contractual matter. Partially offsetting this increase in the nine-month period was net unrealized losses on equity securities. Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures were $3,717 in the first nine months of 2020, compared with $6,139 in the same period in 2019. FutureFuel was reimbursed for a portion of these expenditures by certain customers as summarized in the following table. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 Cash paid for capital expenditures $ 3,717 $ 6,139 Cash received from customers as reimbursement of capital expenditures $ (1,826 ) $ (4,693 ) Cash paid for capital expenditures, net of reimbursements $ 1,891 $ 1,446 Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $243,647 as of September 30, 2020, compared with $316,951 as of December 31, 2019.

It performs the live trades for you and can assess the market to determine the best deals for you. Of course, you\'ve got to be a member, so you need an account with funds. Story continues How Does It Work? Our review of Bitcoin Up was exhaustive. The process required us to use every feature and know that everything worked. With software engineers, business analysts, and crypto traders on the team, we all had a say in what we saw. Everyone was quite happy with the results. In fact, Bitcoin Up is a superb cryptocurrency auto-trading platform and can make people rich quickly. We are happy about this because more auto trading robots need to be on the market that is good.

Try Bitcoin Up Free Today How to Use It We went through each of the steps we list below to make sure that it was going to be easy enough for anyone to do it. Just open your Bitcoin Up account, make your deposit, and then choose automated live trades. The robots take over to trade for you. When the session ends, we ended up with our capital and some profits. When you join and fund the account, you can then make trades on Bitcoin Up. The lowest deposit option for this software is $250, though you can add up to $15,000 in one go. Consider the steps that we list and followed when we tested Bitcoin Up: Register The first step is to create an account on Bitcoin Up. The process was fast because you only need a phone number, email address, and name. Of course, you also create a password or let the site do it for you. Demo Trades There is a demo trade feature on Bitcoin Up, which is excellent news. Crypto auto-trading platforms should provide a demo feature because that shows they are transparent. When you can see how the process works, you are more comfortable adding funds and taking on real trades (or letting the robot do it for you). The whole thing was flawless and enjoyable. Transferring Funds Before you can start live trades, you need to deposit your capital into the Bitcoin Up account. When we did this, there were many payment choices, such as Visa, Skrill, PayPal, and MasterCard. Since they\'re popular and offer many currency options, almost anyone in the world can use Bitcoin Up. We just transferred the base amount of $250. We feel that new investors should really start with the lowest investment choice. That way, they don\'t risk too much and can grow their capital. We do encourage each investor to try out the demo trading feature. It\'s so easy to use. Of course, there\'s a lot of information to gather here, and you\'re going to understand auto-trading much more when you\'re finished and ready for live trades. Live Trading We initially thought it would be hard to do the live trades, but it wasn\'t! In a sense, we just clicked to activate the robot, and the trades started for us. First, the robots had to scan the crypto market to find the best deals. This was done within seconds. When it found one, the system completed everything for us using our Bitcoin Up funds. It was quick, effortless, and perfect. Important Bitcoin Up Features Payouts We feel that the payout system is accurate and transparent. The company calculates it minus the fee, and you get your funds in your account right after the session has ended. Verification You do have to submit your account details to get them verified, but the process is automatic and fast. This is essential to make sure that everything is right and correct. Withdrawals No system is going to be any good if it doesn\'t allow you to withdraw your earnings. You can do so easily with Bitcoin Up. In fact, we got our money into our bank account 24 hours after we requested it. Everything is straightforward and easy to understand, too. Service Charge There is a service charge, which is a percentage taken from your profit immediately after the live session ends. However, that is the only one on the platform and seems legitimate to us. Customer Service We don\'t think you\'re going to have questions or problems, but you can contact someone from the staff 24/7. The team is excited about Bitcoin Up. We feel that it can be hard to understand protocols for cryptocurrency, but you don\'t need to when you use this software. You can get rich without any effort and let the robots do the work for you. Beginners might benefit from these helpful tips: Invest Smaller Amounts It\'s often best to invest a minimum of $250 at first. That way, you can learn more about the system while the money multiplies. It only took us a few days to triple that minimum amount, so you\'re going to see returns quickly. Withdraw Make sure that you\'re withdrawing your earnings after each live trade session. You can also save some to reinvest. Follow the Trends You\'re probably interested in the cryptocurrency market, so you should follow the trends. Since you are an investor now, it\'s helpful to know what\'s going on. Don\x92t Over-Invest Make sure that you\x92re not investing money that needs to go toward bills or is part of your life savings. There is a risk of losing the investment, and you don\x92t want to find yourself in financial hardship. Is there an app for Bitcoin Up?

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

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

Overall sales atApplerose 1% to $64.7 billion for the quarter ended September 30,a little better than analysts forecast. But that included weaker-than-expected iPhone sales of just $26.4 billion, down 21% from last year. Booming sales of laptops and iPads for stuck-at-home workers and students made up the difference. Profits of 73 cents per share were 3 cents better than the average analyst forecast. Apple’s stock price, which has already risen 57% so far this year, lost 5% in after-market trading. In a call with analysts, Cook and Apple CFO Luca Maestri tried to explain that the iPhone shortfall was only a temporary blip. Because COVID-19 forced some factories in Asiato shut down earlier this year, Apple’s new line of iPhones didn’t go on sale until mid-October, missing the usual mid-September debut. “We’re very bullish on this cycle,” Cook said, noting that the new iPhone 12 family is the first from Applewith 5G capabilityand many wireless carriers are making generous trade-in offers. “It is the strongest line up we’ve ever had by far…we are off to a great start.” The new $800 iPhone 12 and $1,000 iPhone 12 Pro went on sale on October 23. The $700 iPhone 12 Mini and $1,100 iPhone Pro Max will be available for pre-order on November 6, with sales starting on November 13. “We just started shipping iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro and we’re off to a great start,” CFO Luca Maestri told analysts on the call. “Given the tremendously positive response, we expect iPhone (sales) to grow during the December quarter (compared to a year ago).” Apple sold $56 billion of iPhones in the holiday quarter last year. But Apple did not give specific guidance about how much total revenue it might bring in for the holiday quarter. The company used to offer analysts a revenue range but stopped in the middle of this year, citing the complications and unpredictability of the pandemic. Cook was also asked about the possible impact on Apple fromthe Google antitrust casefiled by the Justice Department last week. The government accusedGoogleof using illegal means to expand its search ad business by paying Apple to be exclusive search provider on the iPhone. The payments constitute 15% to 20% of Apple’s annual profits, according to the lawsuit. Cook pointed to Apple’s growing revenue from a variety of other services, like Apple Music and iPhone app sales, which in theory could offset some or all of the revenue Google currently provides. “There’s a lot of room there and potential there,” Cook said. “I have no idea how the DOJ suit will go but it’s a long way from a conclusion.” • Thebest smartwatchesof 2020 • Microsoft’s cloud could be a bit foggy for the next quarter • Uber’s former CTO is mapping out growth and delivery routesin his new gig • Coinbase launchescrypto debit cardin U.S. with 1% Bitcoin reward • Bitcoin can’t help the unbanked,MastercardCEO says This story was originally featured onFortune.com... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

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

Regulators and the Bulls may have to Battle it out! The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – December 25th, 2020 European Equities: A Week in Review – 25/12/20', 'The Majors It was a mixed week for the European majors in the shortened week ending 24 th December 2020. German and Italian markets were closed on Thursday and Friday, with France on a shortened session on Thursday. The DAX30 and CAC40 fell by 0.32% and by 0.10% respectively, while the EuroStoxx600 rose by 0.02%. A bearish start to the week left the majors in the deep red. News of a new coronavirus strain in the UK and a lack of progress towards a Brexit deal weighed. EU member states and beyond banned UK travel in response to the news of the new strain in a bid to avoid exposure to the more virulent strain. Sentiment shifted on Tuesday, however, supporting recovery from Monday’s sell-off. Support kicked in following news of U.S lawmakers agreeing on an $892bn COVID-19 stimulus package, however. Even news of Trump’s unwillingness to sign the stimulus bill failed to sink the majors. Expectations are that a more substantial and meaningful package would provide more material support to the economic recovery. In spite of the negative news on the COVID-19 front, news of an imminent Brexit deal also delivered support for the majors. The Stats It was a quiet week on the economic calendar. Key stats included Flash Eurozone Consumer Confidence and German GfK Consumer Climate figures. For the Eurozone, the Flash Consumer Confidence Indicator rose from -17.6 to -13.9. In spite of the uptick, the indicator remained well below its long-run average of -11.2, however. From Germany, the GfK Consumer Climate Indicator fell from -6.7 to -7.3 in January. Economists had forecasted a larger decline to -8.8. A fall in income expectations weighed on the headline figure, with the latest spike in new COVID-19 cases and lockdown measures raising uncertainty. On Wednesday, finalized 3 rd quarter GDP figures from Spain had a muted impact on the majors. Spain’s economy expanded by 16.4% in the 3 rd quarter, according to finalized figures, revised down from a prelim 16.7%. In the 2 nd quarter, the economy had contracted by 17.9%, quarter-on-quarter. From the U.S Economic data was on the heavier side, with November core durable goods, personal spending, and inflation figures in focus. Weekly jobless claims figures also drew interest ahead of the holidays. In the week ending 18 th December, initial jobless claims stood at 805k, falling back from an upwardly revised 892k from the previous week. Durable goods orders were also positive, with orders rising by 0.9% in November, following a 1.8% increase in October. Core durable goods fell short of forecasts, however, rising by 0.4%. In October, core durable goods orders had increased by 1.9%. Story continues On the negative, however, was a fall in personal spending. In November, personal spending fell by 0.4%, reversing a 0.3% rise in October. Economists had forecasted a 0.2% decline. Inflation figures were market neutral in spite of falling short of forecasts. In November, the core PCE Price Index rose by 1.4%, following a 1.4% increase in October. Economists had forecasted a 1.5% increase. Other stats included finalized 3 rd quarter GDP and consumer sentiment figures together with November housing sector data. The stats had a muted impact on the European majors, however.

In the UK,Manufacturing PMIis expected to decrease from 53.7 to 50.5 whileServices PMIis projected to drop from 51.4 to 42.5. The projected sharp decline in Services PMI is not surprising given the negative impact of the second lockdown.

GBP/USD has managed to settle above the resistance at 1.3270 and is trying to move above the next resistance level at 1.3325. If this attempt is successful, GBP/USD will head towards the next resistance at 1.3400. In case GBP/USD gets above the resistance at 1.3400, it will move towards yearly highs at 1.3485.

What Happened: The investment firm analyzed the current Bitcoin rally — looking at numbers from itBit, the cryptocurrency exchange run by Paxos — the partner of PayPal. “When PayPal went live, volume started exploding. The increase in itBit volume implies that within four weeks of going live, PayPal is already buying almost 70% of the new supply of bitcoins,” wrote Pantera Capital. The investment firm said that PayPal and Square’s Cash App are already purchasing more than 100% of all newly-issued bitcoins. Pantera Capital theorizes that when other financial institutions jump on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, “supply scarcity will become even more imbalanced.” “The only way supply and demand equilibrates is at a higher price,” the investment company explained. Why It Matters: Paxos' itBit saw its trading volume surge 500% to $26.57 million in mid-November from $4.41 million a month ago, as per CoinGecko data. The 24-hour volume at press time was $23.65 million. While it took the Bitcoin community 12 years to grow to 100 million strong, PayPal has brought with it 300 million active users, noted Pantera Capital. “This rally is much more sustainable than [in] 2017. One of the main differences is the ease of investing in bitcoin now — via PayPal, Cash App, Robinhood, etc,” according to Pantera Capital. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has gained 155%, while Etereum has risen 330%. Comparatively, the S&P 500 has risen a modest 10.11% on a year-to-date basis. Paypal’s CEO Daniel Schulman said this month at the company’s third-quarter earnings call that its cryptocurrency leap is “just the beginning of the opportunities.” Price Action: Bitcoin traded 1.21% lower at $18,298.37 at press time, while Ethereum traded 3.96% higher at $566.77.

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

The startup’s trust company unit, based in South Dakota, has applied to the OCC to convert to a national bank, according to anoticedated Nov. 9 and posted to the federal regulator’s website. The notice contains little else in the way of detail, except that Anchorage is represented by Dana Syracuse of the law firm Perkins Coie. Syracuse is a former general counsel of the New York Department of Financial Services and helped that agency draft its landmark BitLicense regulation. Related:Robinhood Gearing Up for Potential IPO in Early 2021: Report This year Kraken, a crypto exchange, became the first such business toobtain a U.S. banking license, albeit a special-purpose one from Wyoming (the same kind obtained by digital asset startupAvanti). If its application is approved, Anchorage would be the first crypto company to get a national bank charter, explicitly allowing it to do business in all 50 states. A banking charter would give Anchorage the clear authority to act as a “qualified custodian” for institutional investors under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. Most crypto custody firms in the U.S. have trust company licenses, but the SECsignaledlast week that it is unsure whether such entities, regulated at the state level and less stringently than banks, make the cut as qualified custodians. Anchorage’s application also comes at a time when the OCC, an agency that has existed since the Civil War, may be unusually receptive to such requests. Brian Brooks, the acting comptroller since May, is a former chief legal officer for the Coinbase exchange and has been notably focused on clearing the way for banks to participate in the crypto market – so much so that he was recentlycriticized by lawmakersfor spending so much time on this niche during a pandemic. In July, for example, Brooks’ agencyissued a letterclearing the way for national banks to safeguard private cryptographic keys for digital currency wallets, a business that until now has been the province of specialist firms like Anchorage.

Today's Key News: ['By John McCrank NEW YORK (Reuters) - The price of Bitcoin topped $29,000 on Thursday for the first time, with the digital currency almost quadrupling in value this year amid heightened interest from investors big and small alike. The world\'s most popular cryptocurrency touched $29,300 before pulling back, most recently down 0.67% at $28,774.36.

Notably, bitcoin hit an new all-time high by surpassing the $24,000 mark on Dec 21.On a year-to-date basis, bitcoin has gained more than 200%. This strong bounce-back remains a major positive for companies likeJPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM,Overstock.comOSTK,MicrosoftMSFT,DocuSignDOCU andNVIDIANVDA.The companies are poised to tap in gains from this resurgence with active involvement in cryptocurrency and investments in next gen blockchain technology capabilities. Cryptocurrencies, which hold the potential to revolutionize the process of peer-to-peer and remittance transactions, are gaining strongly from the decentralized system, low fees, transparency of distributed ledger technology, protection from consumer chargebacks and quick international transfers.Blockchain-based automated system is transparent and incorruptible, and meant to provide unaltered information. Since blockchain utilizes a distributed consensus, it is difficult to tamper with the records without being noticed by an entire network. Thereby, the possibility of monetary losses is low with minimum chances of double counting and hacking.Additionally, coronavirus crisis has presented new challenges and exposed several loopholes in the current digital ecosystem. The prominent issues that have surfaced are data tracing, security, visibility and management, and supervision.Evolution of blockchain practices in a bid to address these challenges is expected to democratize the use of cryptocurrency in the days ahead and aid in countering the pandemic in an efficient way.Notably, Coherent Market Insights estimates the blockchain technology market to witness a CAGR of 58.7% between 2019 and 2027.Also, growing demand for alternative currency as a result of the ongoing pandemic remains a tailwind.These factors are driving growth in digital currency (especially bitcoin) transactions throughout the world. Per a report from Statista, the number of daily bitcoin transactions at end of third-quarter 2020 exceeded the mark of 351 million, jumping significantly from around 200 million in first-quarter 2016.Further, a report from Fortune Business Insights shows that the global cryptocurrency market is expected to hit $1.8 billion in 2027 from $754 million in 2019 by witnessing a CAGR of 11.2%Here we discuss these five stocks, which have strong fundamentals that poise them well to capitalize on the bitcoin wave. NVIDIAis poised to gain from growing momentum of its GPUs in the cryptocurrency space, which provides the company with a strong competitive edge against other chipmakers.In third-quarter fiscal 2021, this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company experienced solid traction among the ethereum, monero and zcash miners. Reportedly, NVIDIA’s GPU sales to crypto-miners were around $175 million. You can seethe complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.Further, the new Ampere GPU chips of the company are well-designed to meet requirements of the upcoming advanced cryptocurrencies.We believe that expanding presence of NVIDIA in the booming cryptocurrency market is likely to contribute well to the stock’s performance in the near term.JPMorgan Chase & Co. is poised to capitalize on gains stemming from the bullish sentiments toward bitcoin with commercial use of its blockchain technology based planned dollar-backed cryptocurrency — JPM Coin — which will be helpful in handling digital settlements.Per a CNBC article, JPMorgan, with Zacks Rank of 2, is looking to monetize its crypto efforts and has created a new business unit called Onyx, with more than 100 dedicated staff members, to focus on its blockchain and digital currency efforts.Overstock.comis riding on strong demand for digital assets, backed by its Medici Ventures and tZERO businesses, and has strengthened presence in the lucrative blockchain-technology space.Notably, tZERO technology business is focused on democratizing access to private capital markets. The tZERO ATS, a subsidiary of tZERO, traded over 2.3 million digital securities in August 2020, marking a 21x increase on a year-over-year basis.Moreover, the tZERO Crypto app, which is independently managed by tZERO’s subsidiary, tZERO Crypto, Inc., is witnessing robust growth in user base, which is a tailwind for this Zacks Rank #2 company.Moreover, tZERO has attained Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) clearance to offer retail-brokerage services for digital securities through its tZERO Markets. FINRA’s approval will enable tZERO Markets to offer issuers with investment banking and placement-agent services in connection with capital-raising activities.Microsoftis focusing on developing advanced Azure-powered blockchain solutions in decentralized identity space.The company’s fully managed Azure Blockchain Service, which accelerates development of robust blockchain-enabled smart contract applications, holds promise. The flexibility in usage and Azure’s secure broad-based availability are anticipated to bolster adoption of the service.The tech giant has also joined Hyperledger community and entered into a partnership with JPMorgan to develop Ethereum-based open source blockchain platform, Quorum. Markedly, JPMorgan divested Quorum to ConsenSys per a strategic investment deal in August, this year.Moreover, the acquisition of GitHub, touted to be the largest open-source repository, provides Microsoft ample exposure to development of robust blockchain tools.The beta version of the tech giant’s bitcoin-backed decentralized identity tool — ION — went live in early June on mainnet. The tool is aimed at fast-tracking of data, which can be utilized by anyone to improve the reach of the coronavirus crisis response programs.The above factors are likely to provide an edge to this Zacks Rank #2 stock over cloud rivals including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Alibaba Cloud, which are also eyeing the blockchain-as-a-service market.DocuSignis a popular name for authenticating documents over the Internet through electronic signature. The stock, with Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold), leverages blockchain technology to enable customers adapt to smart tech and make paper agreements digital.The company’s Trust Service Provider model helps users to integrate any blockchain-based identity providers and enhance security while authenticating a signer.Notably, per ResearchAndMarkets data, the blockchain identity management market is set to hit $1.93 billion by 2023 from $90.4 million in 2018 at a CAGR of 84.5%.

Here\'s my story - I hope it\'s as entertaining as the others.\n\n\\---\n\nEvery number between 0 cents and the current ATH has been, by definition, the all-time-high at one point. Don\'t let that prevent you from taking a risk in something you believe in. Extend your time horizon to a decade and lock your coins away.\n\n\\---\n\nI\'ve been a libertarian since I was a teenager. The expanding role of the State is something that I\'ve been worrying about for most of my life. While learning about the immorality of the existence of the State, at some point I learned about monetary policy and how inflation is robbing everyone on an unprecedented scale. I tucked this knowledge away and was determined to figure out a way around it when I started making my own money. (This paragraph is the only one involving political philosophy, go ahead and continue reading)\n\nI first heard of Bitcoin in 2010 on one of the many forums I frequented in my libertarian internet circle. It was an interesting concept to me, but I didn\'t pursue it at all. Again I tucked this knowledge away for future use.\n\nI heard of it again several months later (2010). This time I decided to try it out. I remember downloading and syncing the reference wallet and using a BTC faucet to send coins to my wallet. I forget exactly how many it was... 5, maybe? That\'s as far as I went with it though. At some point I deleted the wallet and the downloaded blockchain - probably to make room for a Steam game or something. Those coins are gone.\n\nThat\'s right - Steam. I have been a gamer for most of my life as well. I owned a powerful graphics card at the time: The Radeon 5970.\n\nThe third time I heard about Bitcoin was in May 2011. I had heard that the price was lifting off and people were making a lot of money from it. This time I decided to dive in and see what I could figure out.\n\nThis was where I fell into the deep rabbit hole of Bitcoin. I remember getting so absorbed in it that I didn\'t sleep some nights. I was working my day job, going home and learning all that I could about Bitcoin. Learning about how addresses were generated, how wallets worked, how mining worked, how the difficulty adjustment worked, everything that I possibly could.\n\nAfter a week or two of obsessing and reading about Bitcoin, I decided that this was the most important invention since the internet - the most perfect form of money ever created. One of the most ingenious systems ever designed by man - and NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT YET.\n\nI can\'t recall if any other coins existed at the time, but between 2011-2012 I remember other coins like Namecoin, Peercoin, Feathercoin, and some others. I don\'t hear about any of those other coins these days... besides LTC and XRP, of course.\n\nI decided that I wanted in. I needed to get some Bitcoin. I needed it NOW!! This would be like buying stock in the Internet itself but better - no counterparty risk, and I could be my own bank!\n\nI wasn\'t making a lot of money at the time, so putting money towards anything discretionary wasn\'t going to be friendly to my budget. Yes, I owned a badass gaming rig, but that was my only luxury in life. I knew I was going to buy for the long term, so I decided to put aside $500 and go for it. I was going to buy Bitcoin.\n\nAt the time, Mt Gox was the only game in town that I can remember. I don\'t think BTC-e existed yet, or maybe I just hadn\'t heard of it.\n\nI signed up for a Gox account and figured out how to fund it. There were a few ways to do this, one of which was another app called Dwolla. So I signed up for Dwolla and got verified. I then deposited my $500 and initiated the ACH transfer to Gox. BTC price at the time: $3.\n\nI had initiated the transfer on a Tuesday evening after work. I was informed that the transfer would arrive at Gox on Friday.\n\nI watched agonizingly as the price climbed hour after hour, day after day. $3.50. $4. $5. $6. I was missing the boat!!! By Thursday evening the price had doubled.\n\nAt work on Friday, I checked my email on my phone practically every five minutes. The transfer didn\'t go through the entire work day. I had plans with friends that evening - damn it, I was going to have to try and do this on my phone while hanging with my friends?!\n\nI ended up making my first BTC purchase while sitting in a movie theater. I bought 50 Bitcoin for $10 each - during an all-time-high.\n\nI still hodl every one of these coins today.\n\n(The movie, for the curious: X-Men: First Class)\n\nI couldn\'t stop there, though. The more I learned, the more I had to know. The more I had to DO. That\'s when I got into GPU mining.\n\nThis was a time before ASICs. I believe GPU mining was relatively new -- before this, miners were only using CPUs (which were in 2011 -- like GPUs in 2020 -- obsolete for SHA256 mining).\n\nThe next day I dove headfirst into Bitcoin mining. I downloaded the software and set up an account on Slush Pool. I ran my 5970 on full blast for a while and went out with some friends. When I got back, my bedroom was noticeably hotter than it was when I left. So that\'s what I was going to be dealing with? Ok, fine.\n\nI also couldn\'t play any demanding video games while the miner was running. I\'d have to dial the hashrate down, or disable it completely. Ok, I guess I can manage that.\n\nAfter a few days of dealing with that, I decided to buy another 5970. If I got bored of Bitcoin, it would still make The Witcher 2 run better!\n\nAll told, between mining with Slush Pool and BTCGuild for a month, I managed to mine an additional 50BTC that month.\n\nI still hodl every one of these coins today.\n\nOne day, my electric bill came. $350. For my 1BR apartment? That can\'t be right...\n\nI called up the electric company and told them they double-billed me.\n\n"Nope, that amount is accurate. That\'s what you owe for this month. Have a nice day!"\n\nAnd that was the day I stopped Bitcoin mining.\n\nI had been telling all my friends and gamer friends about Bitcoin the entire time. They laughed at me. I told them they wouldn\'t be laughing when I was a millionaire.\n\nSoon after, Bitcoin crashed -- HARD. Dropping from $32 at its peak to $2 over the next few months -- one of the largest price drops in its history.\n\nI was dejected. I stopped talking about it with my friends. The gamer communities I was a member of made fun of me relentlessly, trashing Bitcoin every day. News articles celebrating Bitcoin\'s death popped up everywhere. It was the first major public crash, and I felt all alone.\n\nI uninstalled the Bitcoin price widget from my phone. I moved on with my life and tried to forget about Bitcoin. I left the wallet on my PC, but deleted my copy of the blockchain.\n\nI barely thought about Bitcoin for the next two years. Any time someone brought it up at work or in my friend group, I changed the s...

Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $29,631, Bitcoin slid back to $28,700 levels. A late move back through to $29,300 levels delivered the upside for the day, however. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $29,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $13,787 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. Polkadot slid by 11.83% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.80%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.44%), and Ethereum (-0.94%) also struggled. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

In terms of blockchain and crypto, we saw several key developments: the halving of Bitcoin, liquidity mining and the explosive growth of several decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, stronger tools for blockchain interoperability and much more. As 2021 begins and the globe slowly eases its way out of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated market fluctuations, I look forward to seeing even more growth in the innovation, widespread use and diverse impacts of blockchain technologies. The space is becoming simultaneously more complex and more accessible, broadening the horizons for what the crypto community can achieve in building decentralized, user-first financial systems. This post is part of CoinDesk’s 2020 Year in Review – a collection of op-eds, essays and interviews about the year in crypto and beyond. Paul Veradittakit is a partner at Pantera Capital. On last year’s predictions Related: Here Comes the Open Lending Era Here is a review of my predictions from last y ear . Along with a summary of how that space or trend fared in 2020, I’ve included an accuracy rating to assess how well the prediction held up, with one being least accurate and five being most accurate. See also: Pantera Partner Paul Veradittakit’s Crypto Predictions for 2020 We’re reaching some significant inflection points in areas from retail adoption, to nationalized digital currencies, to faster blockchain technologies Diem (formerly Libra)/Novi (formerly Calibra) Given Diem’s eventful (in the regulatory sense) public reveal in 2019, I expected 2020 to be an equally exciting year for Facebook’s project in terms of developing a reputation, fighting key regulatory battles and beginning to build up adoption. On the contrary, Diem’s launch was delayed and it stayed predominantly under the public radar throughout 2020. Related: Camila Russo on Building The Defiant and the Future of DeFi Story continues In April, the association announced it would make key modifications to its architecture to address some of the main regulatory concerns brought against it. The governing association also renamed the project from Libra to Diem, and the wallet was renamed from Calibra to Novi. Most recently, key individuals in the initiative claimed that the platform could launch as early as January 2021. Even if Diem didn’t catch the public eye as much in 2020, it definitely made some key developments behind the scenes. Additionally, with the groundbreaking federal antitrust lawsuit against Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, the project is likely to get significantly more attention in the months ahead. Bitcoin halving Bitcoin’s halving from a block reward of 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC in May of this year certainly garnered a lot of widespread attention, but the exact effect of the halving event on the price of bitcoin is still ambiguous. There was a muted reaction to the halving event: A few days after, the price even dropped a little. Some experts proposed the halving had been “priced in” in the months leading up to it. In other words, because investors expected bitcoin’s price to appreciate the price naturally inflated before the halving event, making the exact change following the event less noticeable. Even if not immediate, the halving certainly had a major effect on the long-term outlook for bitcoin and the macro narrative that has since dominated the dialogue with traditional investors on bitcoin’s potential. See also: Bitcoin Halving, Explained Gaming Unfortunately, in 2020 we didn’t see that many new developments in the blockchain space for gaming, and certainly not many public facing launches. Many game developers still face a great deal of technical friction in terms of building on chain, due to its complexity and often slow runtime. Still, the interest in the concept has not subsided. Many game creators are exploring how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be used as valuable digital assets in games. Several studios, including Pixelmatic, Ubisoft and Atari have all claimed that blockchain technologies could play important roles in their games in the future, and are beginning to actively explore the concept. As of today, one of the most promising and well-known blockchain games is The Sandbox , a game kind of like Minecraft where users can monetize digital assets via the blockchain. The Sandbox has already announced partnerships with major game developers including Atari and Square Enix. DeFi growth If nothing else, 2020 was the year of DeFi. One of the biggest trends of the year, undoubtedly, was liquidity mining. To keep it simple, liquidity mining is essentially where users supply their own assets as liquidity to a protocol in exchange for a protocol’s governance token. Over time, due to lots of interest, this governance token increases in value, often generating immense returns for liquidity-supplying users and incentivizing them to keep supporting the DeFi protocol. This year governance tokens for Compound, Balancer, Yearn.Finance and many more launched and exploded in value. Further, the value generated for these platforms’ liquidity suppliers was around 100%-200% APR. In January, a grand total of $1 billion was locked into DeFi platforms collectively. In August, it peaked at US $15 billion . Interestingly, MakerDAO continues to be the platform with the most value locked in, though that first-place position was usurped several times over the year by Compound and other platforms. Users are beginning to reap the benefits of a decentralized, community-owned financial system. We’ll likely see this excitement and rapid growth continue through 2021. Central bank currencies The COVID-19 pandemic had, and is continuing to have, a massive economic impact on several of the world’s largest economies. It has also raised some serious doubt about the government’s competence and intentions in its economic policy and highlighted some key concerns and difficulties with the efficiency of our existing economic system. While we may have not seen any significant launches in central bank digital currencies (CBDC) in 2020, the space definitely saw a lot more interest as more governments, banks and research institutions explore how crypto can enhance our financial system. China’s central bank is working on a digital currency pilot, which has seen over 4 million transactions and 2 billion yuan in gross volume. In October, several financial institutions including the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve collectively published a report outlining the key features necessary in a successful, feasible CBDC. The Federal Reserve also has been actively working towards the development of a digital dollar . See also: Marcelo Prates – Central Banks Had to Up Their Money Game This Year – And They Did Infrastructure and Web 3.0 This year saw the launches and announcements of several key infrastructural projects within the blockchain space that will enable a great diversity of decentralized applications in the future. One of the year’s largest was the public launch of the Alchemy API , which positions itself as the AWS of blockchain. It’s building infrastructure that makes it simple to manage and build on top of Ethereum nodes and currently powering $7.5 billion in on-chain transactions annually. Other Web 3.0 infrastructure tools include the Keep protocol , which provides developers with off-chain storage for dapps; API3 , which works with the API ecosystem to build blockchain-native oracles and bring the massive returns of DeFi and dapps to API providers; and the Oasis Protocol , which builds blockchain-enabled tools to help developers securely analyze data and guarantee user privacy. Given the generally growing interest in decentralized applications overall, I hope to see more developers take advantage of these technologies to reduce the complexity of building dapps and expanding their use cases. Regulatory hurdles In general, throughout 2020 we saw less public attention and debate on regulating crypto, likely because government financial institutions were likely focused on other areas (rightly so), due to the implications of the pandemic. However, several government agencies made key regulatory actions throughout 2020 that demonstrate how they are thinking more seriously about cryptocurrency and the role it plays in the modern American economy. In 2020 , the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged crypto firms roughly $40 million in penalties, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) charged crypto firms roughly $9 million in penalties, an all-time high for the latter. Most of these sanctions and penalties are targeted around initial coin offerings (ICOs) and gray areas around whether certain tokens should be deemed securities or commodities. Some of the most prominent developments from this year include the SEC’s proposed safe harbor for crypto entrepreneurs, the CFTC’s case against Abra for selling security-based swaps to investors without listing them on a recognized national exchange and the CFTC’s case against BitMex for offering illicit crypto services to their users. Looking ahead Here are seven areas where I expect to see lots of promising innovation and growth throughout 2021. Bitcoin will continue to grow immensely in value and popularity, as the original flagship cryptocurrency. Bitcoin started the year hovering at a price of $7,000 and climbed to fresh all-time highs above $23,000. Payment giants like PayPal and Square are making it easy for everyday users to purchase bitcoin and institutional investors are showing more interest than ever. Following a 90% growth in price in 2019 and a whopping 170% growth in price in 2020, I look forward to seeing bitcoin grow in value even more and become more widely used.

Maybe you will appreciate it, at least.\n\nI met a woman in early 2017 while taking post-graduate classes. While I admit I was a bit apprehensive of her at first, over time she warmed on me—until she simply became my best fucking friend on earth. You know what it’s like when someone totally accepts you, and loves you, and wants to spend every second with you. \n\nYes, it was like that. \n\nAnd any man or woman alive who has also had this knows exactly how it makes you feel. It’s like the world is covering you kisses. It feels like god is rubbing your tummy. People who love you like this can be a grounding force in your life, and something about our connection just made me feel so alive, giving me strength at times I simply couldn’t have found anywhere else. There just something magic about having someone you can’t wait to go home and share your day with. \n\nAnd I had that. We had that. \n\nBut my girlfriend was so stressed. Holy shit, she was so stressed. About what? Money. Money, man. Dear god, her anxiety would sing like siren.

That Nordstrom. \n\nAs you can imagine, going from growing up in a small rural home with a barn to traveling in private planes is quite the life upgrade. I don’t want to share too much about the details of this relationship, but suffice it to say she managed to get her three kids through college, which was literally all she wanted. \n\nWhen I met her, she was exhausted. In process of divorce. The marriage, even with all the wealth, the Ferrari’s, the vineyards, etc—it just wasn’t worth it to her anymore. She often said she just felt like just rolling over and dying once all her children grew up and moved on. Empty nest syndrome. For real. \n\nAnd that’s about the time we met.\n\nThe journey of falling in love with someone happens slowly—but brilliantly. At first it was just us talking after classes. And then it was car rides. And then she was hanging out at my house, and I hers. And then over the months, we just absolutely fell in love. I mean we LOVED each other. And we went everywhere together, did amazing things. I loved her kids and her other family, and she loved mine. Loved to travel. Loved to go out in nature together.

Following on from a 1.42% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $32,183.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $29,000.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $28,837, Bitcoin rallied to an early evening intraday high $33,292.0. The day-long rally saw Bitcoin break through the day’s major resistance levels to hit a new swing hi and all-time high before easing back. In spite of a pullback to $32,100 levels, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the third major resistance level at $31,036. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $33,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $15,190 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 7.16% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin and Litecoin rallied by 10.53% and by 8.38% to lead the way, with Ethereum rising by 6.06%. Binance Coin (+1.18%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.55%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.31%), Chainlink (+2.85%), Polkadot (+1.43%) and saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before surging to a Saturday high $866.00bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $830.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Saturday high 72.92%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 72.62. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.82% to $32,447.9. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $31,975.0 before rising to a high $32,501.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (+0.28%), Ethereum (+0.50%), and Litecoin (+0.54%) joined Bitcoin in the green, with Bitcoin Cash SV flat. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 7.52% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,492 to bring the first major resistance level at $33,983 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $33,292.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $34,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $36,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $35,784. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,492 pivot would bring the first major support level at $29,691 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$29,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $27,200.

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

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

Today's Key News: ['By Caroline Valetkevitch NEW YORK (Reuters) -Global equity indexes mostly rose on Tuesday, with Wall Street rebounding from a weak start to the year, and oil prices settled up 5% after news that Saudi Arabia will make voluntary cuts to its oil output in February. Investors anxiously awaited the results of two Senate runoff races in the state of Georgia on Tuesday that are expected to determine the balance of power in Washington. A Democratic victory in both contests could tip control of the U.S. Senate away from Republicans, potentially boosting the agenda of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden. "Investors are taking a wait-and-see attitude ... There\'s a lot to be concerned about - not only in the U.S. with the elections but also because of the different strains of the virus that are now being reported around the globe," CFRA chief investment strategist Sam Stovall said.

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

While U.S. legislators have failed to reach agreement on fresh relief for a pandemic-hit U.S. economy, there were early signs that a $908 billion bipartisan proposal could be gaining traction. Investors expect lawmakers to reach a deal eventually with the two parties also facing a Dec. 11 deadline to pass a $1.4 trillion budget or risk a shutdown of the government. Britain on Wednesday approved a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech and said it would start vaccinating those most at risk early next week. "Britain is starting vaccination and the U.S. is also expected to do so in coming weeks while coronavirus infections appeared to have peaked in Europe and the same could be said for the U.S. as well," said Yujiro Goto, chief strategist at Nomura Securities. "All of these are easing worries about the economic recovery losing steam." That optimism more than offset disappointing U.S. jobs numbers for November and helped boost the euro despite widespread expectations the European Central Bank will enhance its quantitative easing next week. The common currency ticked up slightly to $1.2119, touching its loftiest level since late April 2018. The dollar index slipped to 2 1/2-year low of 90.948 and last stood at 90.992. "On the whole, the new U.S. economic team under President Biden will be dovish, if not directly pursing a weaker dollar per se," said Daisuke Uno, chief strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Bank. "The next target for the euro should be its February 2018 peak of $1.2555. When the ECB eases its policy next week as expected, I bet the euro will gain rather than fall," he added. Story continues The U.S. currency was on the back foot against most other currencies, apart from the safe-haven yen, against which the dollar held firmer at 104.47 yen. The Australian dollar traded at $0.7409, having hit a 26-month high in the previous session after data showed Australia's economy rebounded more than expected in the third quarter. The offshore Chinese yuan changed hands at 6.5478 per dollar , near its 2-1/2-year high touched last month, maintaining strength on expectations a Biden White House would be more conducive for China's economic growth. The British pound held near a three-month high, last traded flat at $1.3387 after a choppy Wednesday trade as markets looked to whether Britain and the European Union can clinch a trade deal. The negotiators may have enough progress to agree on a deal in the next few days, the BBC's political editor said, giving the pound a slight lift. The EU's chief Brexit negotiator told member states' envoys on Wednesday negotiations were reaching "a make-or-break moment", and they urged him not to be rushed into an unsatisfactory agreement. Four diplomats told Reuters after a briefing by Michel Barnier the talks remained snagged on fishing rights in British waters, ensuring fair competition guarantees and ways to solve future disputes. As traders also brace for a make-or-break moment, the pound's implied volatilities have risen. Both the overnight and one-month volatilities have hit one-month highs, an indication investors expect choppy trade. Bitcoin dipped 1.0% to $19,043, but stayed near its record high of $19,918 hit earlier this week.

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

That’s 10 times more than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. “Bears are in disbelief,” the digital-asset market analysis firmArcane Researchwrote early Tuesday in a report, noting that the cryptocurrency is on track to post its sixth straight weekly gain. “It seems like there is nothing stopping bitcoin at the moment.” Intraditional markets, European shares slid and U.S. stock futures pointed to a lower open as investors worried that the potentially economic scarring from a resurgence in the coronavirus.

The second-largest blockchain’s native cryptocurrency, ether (ETH), is up 266% this year – twice as much as mooning bitcoin (BTC). But a lot of savvy digital-asset investors are hedging their bets, buying tokens associated with upstart blockchains that could potentially grab market share from the Ethereum network, often referred to as a “world computer” due to its versatility and programmability. Related:Bitcoin Closes in on All-Time High as It Hits $18K One such token is dot (DOT), of the Polkadot blockchain, whose co-founder Gavin Wood was a co-founder of Ethereum. Wood wrote the original project white paper for Polkadot in 2016, just a year after the Ethereum network launched. Since going live in mid-August on exchanges after the Polkadot network performed a 100:1 split, the dot token is up over 44%. Over the same period, Ethereum’s ether has only climbed a bit over 8%. “The market and investor appetite has been really strong for Polkadot’s dot token,” said Keld van Schreven, managing director of the investment firm KR1, which includes Polkadot in its portfolio. An initial valuation from a pre-network launch fundraising was priced around $3, he said. “So to consistently trade above $4 since then has been really encouraging.” – Daniel Cawrey Read More:As DeFi Grows, Investors Look to Polkadot to Be the Next Ethereum Bitcoin’s strong rally continues with demand outstripping supply amid the heightened expectations of swift global economic recovery on potential coronavirus vaccines. The top cryptocurrency by market value rose to fresh 33-month highs above $17,000 during the early U.S. trading hours. Prices are up 20% this month alone. Bitcoin has been characterized by some investors as “digital gold” due to a belief the cryptocurrency can serve as an effective hedge against inflation. But in recent weeks, bitcoin prices have gained as gold has struggled, following the news that two drugmakers, Pfizer and Moderna, had announced promising results in developing coronavirus vaccines. The possibility that a vaccine might arrive early next year, helping the global economy to return toward pre-pandemic output levels sooner than expected, has triggered a rotation of money out of defensive assets and into risk assets, according to Ole Hansen, head of the commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. Bitcoin, however, has stayed bid on strong holding sentiment and the supply shortage. “Since bitcoin was at $11,400 a month ago, miners have been selling an average of 11 bitcoins per hour on exchanges. In comparison, 214 coins per hour have been scooped off exchanges,” Willy Woo, an on-chain analyst and the author of The Bitcoin Forecast newsletter, tweeted early Tuesday. With the global stockpile of negative yielding bonds at record highs and the U.S. dollar expected to depreciate on coronavirus vaccine optimism and continued money printing by the Federal Reserve, the odds appear stacked in favor of a rally to record highs above $20,000.

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

The bullish sentiment remained throughout the day even as the top two Democrats in Congress called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office, one day after his supporters stormed and vandalized the U.S. Capitol in a rampage that left four people dead. U.S. Treasuries prices extended their steepest sell-off in months, with the benchmark yield at its highest in 10 months. Victories in two Georgia races handed the Democratic Party narrow control of the U.S. Senate, bolstering Biden\'s power to pass his agenda with his party controlling both chambers. The MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in almost 50 countries, rose more than 1% to hit a record high for the third session this week. After a shaken Congress formally certified Biden\'s election victory in the early hours of Thursday, Wall Street focused on the implications of the Democrats\' control of Congress. Major indexes hit record highs on bets that more pandemic stimulus will help the economy ride out the downturn. "The market is now looking past Trump and it\'s looking forward to a Biden presidency, more structure and stimulus," said Dennis Dick, a trader at Bright Trading LLC.

TRON now supports the world's largest distributed network for entertainment, gaming, trading, and file sharing. Throughout 2020, records were broken and milestones met as the TRON network expanded, onboarding millions of new users and entering new verticals including defi. More than 1.3 billion transactions have now been made on the TRON network and over 16 million wallets created. In 2020, TRON-based dApps also broke new records, and currently average over 100,000 daily active users. 1,400 dApps have now been created on the TRON network, with a daily transaction volume of over $12 million. "2020 was the year when crypto went mainstream, and TRON played a pivotal role in integrating blockchain technology into the everyday life of billions" said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent, reflecting on a bumper year for the decentralized network."Through products such as JustSwap, BTFS, Steemit, and DLive, TRON is bringing the benefits of crypto to a global audience, enabling P2P payments, file-sharing, trading, and much more." TRON highlights in 2020 include the following: • On February 14, TRON revealed that it had acquired Steemit Inc, the blockchain micro-blogging network. • In April, TRON saw the fruition of their Samsung partnership as the Exclusive TRON section launched on the Samsung play store. • In May, the JST token sale on Poloniex sold out in under five minutes before climbing to 20x its listing price and being added to leading exchanges Binance, Huobi, and OKEx. • On May 30, BitTorrent File System (BTFS) went live, forming the world's largest P2P storage network with 100 million user-controlled nodes and 1,000 TRON full nodes. • In July, TRX and JST were integrated into 13,000 ATMs via the MeconCash crypto payment platform. • In August, TRON partnered with Waves to provide interoperability between the two networks, using the Gravity protocol to make TRC20 tokens compatible with Waves. • On August 13, BitTorrent File System became the official decentralized storage platform for JUST token, after it was revealed that BitTorrent's software had been installed by 2 billion users worldwide. • Also in August, decentralized TRON exchange JustSwap launched, facilitating trustless trading of TRC20 assets. More than half a million people watched Justin Sun livestream the launch and in its first 24 hours, JustSwap facilitated $100M in trades. • JustSwap was followed by the integration of Mooniswap, from 1inch exchange, into the TRON ecosystem, to be followed by the launch of the JUST stablecoin platform and yield farming. • In September, TRON partnered with Band Protocol to obtain decentralized oracles and price feeds for dApp developers. In the same month, BitTorrent Token (BTT) was issued as a TRC20 token, allowing it to be used as collateral within the JUST ecosystem for collateralization. • In September, TRON also partnered with BitGo to deliver wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) and wrapped ether as TRC20 tokens, giving users the ability to buy and sell BTC and ETH in TRON's low-fee environment. • In October BitTorrent acquired DLive the second largest live streaming platform in Turkey and unified all BitTorrent related products and services under BitTorrent X which will be powered by BTT • On October 30th TRON also launched TRON's first Blockchain Oracle JustLink. • As of December 2020 a record $6.4 billion of Tether (USDT) now exists on the TRON blockchain, as the total market cap for stablecoins across all networks reached $25 billion. • At the start of December, TRON partnered with Huawei to add the BitTorrent app to the smartphone manufacturer's AppGallery store, making the file-sharing network accessible on up to three billion devices. • In December, TRON's first borrow lending platform JustLend went live. In 2020 TRON brought decentralization one step closer to the masses. From sharing revolutionary ideas with Warren Buffet and Steve Wozniak, to establishing a brand new DeFi ecosystem, expanding the functions of BitTorrent's denctralized storage and forging industry transforming partnerships TRON has continued to grow into one of the most active protocols in the industry. This year TRON has seen a string of prestigious partnerships beginning with a record $6.4 billionTether (USDT) on the TRON blockchain. This was followed by strategic partnerships with BitGo to launch WBTC and Wrapped Ether as TRC20 tokens on TRON. They have also partnered with Ampleforth to launch AMPL on the TRON blockchain. In 2021 TRON is going to be focused on growing and scaling their new DeFi infrastructure and expanding the functionalities of BTFS, TRON's decentralized storage ecosystem. With a host of DeFi products TRON's DeFi scheme will use JST as a foundation to integrate decentralized oracle borrow, lending, exchange, and other financial services. JST is set to evolve into a source of empowerment and become the essential token of the entire TRON DeFi ecosystem. TRON's position in DeFi illustrates the evolution of TRON, from achieving smaller victories, to being a sector leader and innovator. About TRON TRON is dedicated to building the infrastructure for a truly decentralized Internet. The TRON protocol, one of the largest blockchain-based operating systems in the world, offers high-scalability, high-availability, and high-throughput support that serves as the foundation for all decentralized applications in the TRON ecosystem.

(Reporting by Imani Moise; Editing by Sam Holmes)', "It took me a little more than a year to get cynical. In December, 2019 I implored against the inherent cynicism of so thoroughly anticipating baseball to behave like a cold-hearted business that you barely bother to wish it wouldn\x92t. Save some earnest outrage \x97 the kind that\x92s only possible if you get your hopes up \x97 for owners who aren\x92t trying, I reasoned. Otherwise you\x92re just giving them preemptive cover not to. After all, fans didn\x92t force billionaires to buy sports franchises when Bitcoin or Google stocks or whatever else are right there. Even if it becomes expected to treat a public-facing facet of community culture like an investment in your portfolio, it still shouldn\x92t be accepted. Two months later, the Boston Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers , who would go on to win a World Series in his first year in L.A. (in between some other stuff happening). As promised, I was furious . Betts, a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, was shipped out of the city he brought a ring to for the sake of getting the Sox under the competitive balance tax threshold, and because we accept as incontrovertible that teams should expect more return on investment for a talented player than simply his talent on the field in the years that they pay him. In short, it was about saving money instead of building a better baseball team. That wasn\x92t new at the time but it seemed worth spelling out, excoriating the central figure (John Henry) and questioning why he had even bothered to buy the baseball team. The Mookie Betts trade of this offseason just happened: After telegraphing that they would prioritize financial flexibility over the face of their franchise for years (again, a kind of critique that eventually functions as an excuse if you repeat it enough), Cleveland traded shortstop Francisco Lindor and veteran starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to the Mets in exchange for infielders Amed Rosario and Andrés Giménez and a couple of prospects . Story continues The fact that a team would willingly trade Francisco Lindor is a sign of baseball's rot. (AP Photo/Aaron Doster) Carrasco is a beloved starter with a track record of success that bolsters the back end of a top-heavy Mets rotation. Lindor, just like Betts had been, is a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, and the Mets will likely look to extend him before he ever becomes a free agent . And the return to Cleveland? I\x92m sure it was the best their front office could find after abdicating the obvious leverage of making it seem like you even want to keep a perennial All-Star in his prime. On one hand, the analysis is easy: No one thinks this is anything other than a salary dump for Cleveland, which is left with the lowest projected payroll in baseball . On the other hand, the analysis is becoming unnecessary: Color me cynical because I\x92m running out of ways or will to complain that baseball owners don\x92t treat the game with the same enthusiasm, affection, effort, or even interest as a casual fan, let alone a participant. It\x92s hard to find something new to say because what\x92s the point of parsing the symptoms when the disease itself has already been diagnosed? Smarter people than I have written incisive takedowns of a system that\x92s doing exactly what it\x92s supposed to : Namely, enrich the owners with little risk. The past few years have been nothing if not a repetitive, eye-opening testament to how owners would rather profit than win \x97 and while not mutually exclusive, those endgames are increasingly divorced from each other. That Cleveland would trade Lindor \x97 and the Tampa Bay Rays would trade Blake Snell , and the Chicago Cubs would trade Yu Darvish \x97 is proof of that. But if no one\x92s denying it \x97 at least not credibly \x97 what\x92s the fun in amassing evidence? For a while, I said there were no bad trades in baseball. Not that there never had been or that any hypothetical trade would be a good one, but rather to define the stretch of time in which all front offices were equally saber Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

And are stocks a good choice for every type of investor? What might seem like a good investment for you might be too risky — or too safe — for someone else. Your Money: 3 Toxic Investments You Should Avoid In general, the most conservative investments offer the lowest returns but protect your initial investment. As you move up the risk ladder you take on greater price volatility in exchange for potentially higher long-term returns. Cash investments are the least risky, followed by bonds and stocks. Not sure where to invest right now? Here’s how the experts say you should invest your money amid the pandemic . Last updated: Dec. 30, 2020 RgStudio / Getty Images Smart Beta Minimum Volatility Funds Safe or Risky: High-risk, high-reward Smart beta funds attempt to use various investment factors that have been proved to enhance long-term returns. Low volatility funds are a subset of smart beta funds that aim to reduce risk by investing in lower-volatility securities. Although these funds cannot eliminate risk, their investment mandate is to at least smooth out the ride. This can make investing in the market less stressful during the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus. THINK A / Shutterstock.com International Stock Funds Safe or Risky: High-risk, high-reward The United States comprises approximately 44% of the world’s stock market capitalization, so it’s always been a good idea to diversify into international stock funds. In any given year, the U.S. might or might not be the country with the highest stock market returns, so diversifying your exposure makes sense. This is particularly true during periods of uncertainty. U.S. and global stocks experience different economic and market forces, even during the current global emergency, so owning international stock funds leads to lower portfolio volatility and higher, risk-adjusted returns. Story continues ©Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock.com Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Safe or Risky: High-risk, high-reward Real estate investment trusts enable small investors to own a piece of the real estate pie. A REIT is a firm that owns or finances income-producing real estate. Similar to mutual funds, REITs offer investors regular income streams, diversification and the potential for long-term capital appreciation. During the outset of the coronavirus crisis, many REITs got pummeled as the world essentially shut down and the revenue stream for these companies dried up. Once the crisis is resolved, however, the REITs that are in a stronger financial position could end up appreciating significantly, in addition to maintaining their dividends. Still, this amounts to a risky bet, as no one is certain how long this crisis will last. Luke Lloyd, wealth advisor and investment strategist at Strategic Wealth Partners , recommends investing in data center REITs. “Commercial real estate could take a hit given the current mentality of ‘work from home’ and the need for less office space,” he said. “However, there could be opportunities in data center REITs that house the infrastructure buildout of the technology sector. These data centers house the servers and technology that support the cloud network companies operate on.” NoSystem images / Getty Images Robo-Advisor Investment Manager Safe or Risky: Variable depending on manager and investments Robo-advisor accounts automatically manage your investments in line with your risk tolerance and goals. Vanguard, Schwab and independent shops — including Personal Capital, Wealthfront, SigFig and Betterment — offer a variety of robo-advisor accounts and services. Robo-companies create diversified portfolios with low account management fees, and some offer access to a human investment advisor. Most robo-advisor accounts include easy-to-use investment apps. During times of market uncertainty, a robo-advisor can be a good option because it takes emotion out of the investing equation. Rather than trying to manage your own portfolio, agonizing over the large losses and wondering if you should buy or sell, a robo-advisor will keep you to your predetermined investment plan. Find Out: How To Protect Your Retirement Savings During the Coronavirus Pandemic Geber86 / Getty Images US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Safe or Risky: Safe U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, are safe in that they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. You can buy individual Treasury inflation-protected bonds on the Treasury Direct website or in a low-fee mutual or exchange-traded fund. TIPS protect your cash from inflation. While you won’t have to worry about losing your principal, you might not get much by way of a return. Inflation is likely to be held in check throughout the coronavirus crisis, as falling demand overall is likely to more than offset the temporary price spikes in certain goods. This dampens the inflation-protection element of these bonds, as inflation is unlikely to rise dramatically, thereby lowering overall return. wastesoul / Getty Images/iStockphoto Municipal Bond Funds Safe or Risky: Safe, but riskier than usual Generally, municipal bonds’ interest payments are tax-free on the federal level, and if they’re issued by your state, you won’t have to pay state taxes. Municipal bonds are traditionally a safe haven for investors, but in the current market environment, they might be riskier than usual. With rampant unemployment and the shutdown of almost every aspect of American life, the credit quality of these bonds could take a significant hit. This is particularly true of revenue bonds, which rely on consumers using their services to pay the interest on the bonds. One way to diminish this risk is to buy insured municipal bonds only — although in that case, you’re relying on the solvency of the underlying insurers as well. SDI Productions / Getty Images 529 College Savings Plan Safe or Risky: Varies based on chosen investments A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings vehicle designed to help you save for college for a child or family member. Also known as a qualified tuition plan, 529s are sponsored by states, state agencies and educational institutions. You can choose from a variety of stock, bond and cash investments in your 529 account. Although the investments in these accounts are likely to remain volatile for the foreseeable future, 529 plans are generally long-term investments. If your child has 10 or more years before the money will be needed for college, you’ve got a long runway to earn back any losses and then some. Regular investments in these plans during volatile market times actually can add to your long-term returns over time, as markets historically recover from major sell-offs. Tips: Investing ‘Rules’ You Shouldn’t Follow MicroStockHub / Getty Images/iStockphoto Global Bond Funds Safe or Risky: Moderate Investing in a foreign country’s debt can increase your returns and diversify your investment portfolio. When you invest in global bond funds, however, you take on additional risk. All bond funds carry interest rate risk, which is the risk that your value decreases as interest rates rise. Global bond funds also might carry currency risk unless they are hedged. In these uncertain times, global bonds also have additional country and political risk, as the economic devastation wreaked by the global shutdown is hard to quantify on a country-by-country basis. agrobacter / Getty Images Certificates of Deposit Safe or Risky: Safe Certificates of deposit offer a fixed rate of interest on your investment for a predetermined period of time. CDs also have the benefit of Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. guarantees of up to $250,000 per account. This can provide peace of mind in troubled times, such as during the current pandemic. If you can afford the initial investment, Juan Carlos Cruz, founder of Britewater Financial Group in Brooklyn, New York, said he recommends investing in high-yield CDs, which typically offer higher rates than a standard CD. “The HYCD works just like a regular CD, but may require a higher balance than other CDs and to hold for a longer period of time,” he said. “Please do your research and check with your local bank for the minimum deposit for this type of account.” CD laddering is a smart strategy that enables you to take advantage of regular investments to garner the best yields, regardless of whether rates are rising or falling going forward. For example, if you have $10,000 to invest, you might spread that out by investing $2,000 each in a 12-, 24-, 36-, 48- and 60-month CD. Look online for promotional CD rates to get the most bang for your buck. bernardbodo / Getty Images/iStockphoto Broad-Based US Bond Funds Safe or Risky: Moderate A diversified bond fund such as the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (ticker: AGG) or a mutual bond fund like the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Investor Shares (ticker: VBMFX) can provide you with great exposure to the U.S. investment-grade bond market. Both funds spread your investments out among corporate bonds and U.S. government bonds with various maturities. The risk you take when you invest in anything but the shortest-term bond funds is that when interest rates rise, the underlying principal value is likely to fall. As interest rates are at historic lows, if rates rise in the future, you could lose some of your principal.

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

According to Jones, with the private economy total economic output at $20 trillion — compared to the federal government's $4.5 trillion in spending and private philanthropy's $400 billion — it makes the private sector the best place to tackle inequality. In 2013, along with a handful of others, the CIO of Tudor Investment Corp. and co-founder of Robin Hood created JUST Capital , a non-profit with a mission of promoting economic justice. Every year, the organization polls the American public about what matters to them in promoting corporate justice. And each year, the top response is, "Do you pay a fair living wage? Do you pay someone a wage that allows them with a partner to raise a child and not struggle, but thrive, not strive, but thrive?" Jones told Yahoo Finance in a recent interview. "So I think we've labored under this. I think it's a false god and false belief that we have to pay low wages in order for companies to survive and to prosper,” Jones added. According to the investor, raising the wage level for workers is could make it so "the whole pie gets bigger, and that we have the same level of profitability for companies, but we have a much stronger and more productive economy than what we have now." Right now, across 20 million workers for the 1,000 largest companies in the U.S., half of those employees do not make an income, combined with their partner working part-time, to provide a living wage for a family of three. "Again, I don't think that's really what the American Dream's about,” Jones added. A member of 'MoveOn' holds up a poster during a protest in front of McDonald's restaurant in Times Square, New York, December 4, 2013. MoveOn members will be protesting at McDonald's locations in five cities - Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, and delivering a petition started by "Low Pay is Not Okay". The petition, which is addressed to McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, and Subway, and has the support of nearly 50,000 MoveOn members, demands a $15/hour living wage for all fast food workers. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz (UNITED STATES - Tags: CIVIL UNREST FOOD SOCIETY TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY) JUST Capital launched a Worker Financial Wellness Initiative that encourages companies to audit how many employees live below a living wage. It then allocate revenues toward those workers before rewarding shareholders. Otherwise, it's taxpayers who provide the subsidies, while companies pay low wages to maximize profitability at the benefit of shareholders. Story continues Jones said every corporate board and shareholder has "an important moral question" to ask. "So I think the first most important thing is for everyone to know how many of your employees don't make a living wage. And then what's your responsibility to them along those lines?” the investor asked. “I think it's a great question for every board, every person in senior management — 'Aren't our workers who are actually allowing us to provide these products and services —aren't they the most important lifeblood?'" Jones added. Julia La Roche is a correspondent for Yahoo Finance. Follow her on Twitter .

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

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

What Happened:Yearn Finance (YFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) coin, gained 15.93% in the 7-day period leading up to press time — beating Bitcoin’s gains of 14.48%. Yearn Finance, launched in February, is an aggregator service for investors and allows DeFi investing and yield farming. YFI gained 4.76% in a 24-hour period reaching $21,513.89, nearly rivaling the 5.77% gains made by Bitcoin. The DeFi cryptocurrency had reached $41,382.98 on Sept. 14 before plunging as low as $9,014.91 on Nov. 6. YFI has appreciated nearly 139% since then till press time. A trader, who goes by the pseudonym “Benjamin Blunts,”saidbefore the coin’s $40,000 rally that it would reach the near $50,000 mark. The current market cap of YFI is nearly $650.21 million. Why It Matters:YFI’s surge was led by a perfect storm as strong technicals, new products, yield farming, and growth in the popularity of DeFi liquidity pools buoyed the cryptocurrency, Cointelegraphreported. There are 30,000 YFI tokens in circulation and Yearn’s creator Andre Cronje did not set aside any for himself. However, more YFI can be minted,accordingto CoinDesk. “I think the ‘no inflation’ meme is here to stay,” according to Tarun Chitra, a member of Yearn’s multisig — an equivalent to the board of directors. Tarun told CoinDesk there are other ways for the system to “monetize.” Price Action:YFI traded 4.76% higher at $21,513.89 at press time while Bitcoin traded 5.77% higher at $17,599.77.

What Happened:Yearn Finance (YFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) coin, gained 15.93% in the 7-day period leading up to press time — beating Bitcoin’s gains of 14.48%. Yearn Finance, launched in February, is an aggregator service for investors and allows DeFi investing and yield farming. YFI gained 4.76% in a 24-hour period reaching $21,513.89, nearly rivaling the 5.77% gains made by Bitcoin. The DeFi cryptocurrency had reached $41,382.98 on Sept. 14 before plunging as low as $9,014.91 on Nov. 6. YFI has appreciated nearly 139% since then till press time. A trader, who goes by the pseudonym “Benjamin Blunts,”saidbefore the coin’s $40,000 rally that it would reach the near $50,000 mark. The current market cap of YFI is nearly $650.21 million. Why It Matters:YFI’s surge was led by a perfect storm as strong technicals, new products, yield farming, and growth in the popularity of DeFi liquidity pools buoyed the cryptocurrency, Cointelegraphreported. There are 30,000 YFI tokens in circulation and Yearn’s creator Andre Cronje did not set aside any for himself. However, more YFI can be minted,accordingto CoinDesk. “I think the ‘no inflation’ meme is here to stay,” according to Tarun Chitra, a member of Yearn’s multisig — an equivalent to the board of directors. Tarun told CoinDesk there are other ways for the system to “monetize.” Price Action:YFI traded 4.76% higher at $21,513.89 at press time while Bitcoin traded 5.77% higher at $17,599.77.

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

Even if the band website finds a new domain, users may not know whether or not it is authentic (as an example, Roquerre said that Sci-Hub is no stranger to imposter sites ).

After a two-week auction period, the highest bidder wins the domain (whose blockchain footprint acts like an NFT, Roquerre said) and the tokens are burned. Roquerre said Namebase does not issue tokens and it is instead mined through Bitcoin-esque proof of work. A total number of unique 6,818 Handshake domains are actively in use while roughly 375,000 have been registered, according to Handshake data shared with CoinDesk. The same data show marketplace volume has grown 60% on average month over month and is anticipated to top $140,000 this month. Building the decentralized web A decentralized domain name system like Handshake could be a significant win in the fight for the decentralized web. The project is part of a crop of so-called Web 3.0 applications vying to create a less centralized, censorship-resistant internet. Handshake, for example, has a complementary browser to create an uncensored internet search experience. Urbit , still another web 3.0 hopeful, is more than a decade in development and relies on Ethereum to construct a platform for decentralized personal servers.

Rippled suits?In Matt Levine’s much-awaited return to his opinion-heavy Bloomberg newsletter, Money Stuff, the financial columnistwroteabout the effects of securities fraud action on business environments. In the U.S., he writes, there’s a growing trend that “everything is securities fraud.” Making a bad video game that causes a gaming studio’s stock to drop: securities fraud. Harboring a culture of harassment: securities fraud. Playing up a news release for something insignificant: securities fraud. Though Levine’s headline calls it a “dystopian future,” his conclusion is a bit more positive. A culture where smart lawyers can find restitution for stockholders affected by negative performance is a “general” way to keep publicly traded firms from doing generically bad things, even if they are not affected by these actions in principle. Related:Valid Points: New Year, New Price Gains For ETH “Everything is securities fraud, even things that aren’t actually illegal; anything that gets bad press or moral disapprobation can lead to a securities lawsuit. It is in its way an oddly principles-based form of regulation: You don’t need specific rules against specific types of bad conduct; all you need is evidence that the company did a thing and the stock dropped because of it,” Levine concludes. There aren’t many publicly traded companies in the crypto industry this trend might apply to, though the attitude – of pursuing legal action for any perceived or real financial loss – still pervades. Yesterday, one of Ripple Labs’biggest financial backersfiled suit against the crypto incumbent to redeem its investment. Back in 2019, the multi-billion asset manager Tetragon Financial Group led Ripple’s $200 million Series C. And now that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Ripple for potential securities fraud, Tetragon wants its cash back. Filed in Delaware, Tetragon said it will attempt to “enforce its contractual right to require Ripple to redeem” its preferred stock, Bloomberg reported, and even freeze Ripple’s assets until it pays up. Ripple rejected the lawsuit, saying its investor can only redeem its equity for cash “if XRP is deemed to be a security on a go-forward basis,” according to a court filing. While Tetragon isn’t claiming securities fraud on behalf of Ripple, it is an effect of an ongoing securities fraud investigation. The SEC claims Ripple raised $1.3 billion over a seven-year period by sellingXRPto retail investors. Ripple is the primary holder of XRP, though it has claimed over the years the network is sufficiently decentralized like Ethereum and that it is not the crypto’s creator. Whether XRP is a security is now up for the courts to decide, but the lawsuit has already led to material outcomes.Grayscale Investments(sister company to CoinDesk) and Bitwise both removed XRP from their crypto index funds, while several exchanges have made moves todelistor suspend XRP trading. One might wonder if XRP is deemed to be a security and Ripple found to have violated securities law, if exchanges might have the right to pursue legal action against the firm. Because, as Levine points out, litigiousness is baked into U.S. business culture. • Kimchi Spreads, ‘Rat Poison,’ Shape Shifts: What You Need to Know in Crypto Today • Kimchi Spreads, ‘Rat Poison,’ Shape Shifts: What You Need to Know in Crypto Today... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

What Happened:Bitcoinhas been on a rally since July, even though the momentum is staggered in the $19,000 levels of late. While many draw correlations between Bitcoin’s four-fold growth from March lows and the pandemic fueled market rally, others see the cryptocurrency as an alternative asset to gold. In 2017, Bitcoin peaked at $20,000 post, which led to a free-fall. The rally then was primarily fueled by a retail-investor frenzy. According toBloomberg, JPMorgan analysts seeGrayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust(OTC:GBTC) as a window for institutional investments in Bitcoin, which will push the demand for the apex cryptocurrency beyond retail purchases by millennials. “The multitude of regulated crypto exchanges and custodians has eliminated the career risk for institutional investors. In 2017, there was retail FOMO," Arslanian said in an interview. "The question is whether we will see institutional FOMO in 2021.” Why It Matters:Traditional banks have trailed fintech firms in terms of growth and embracing new technologies. Fintech firms’ foray in cryptocurrency — likeMicrostrategy Incorporated(NASDAQ:MSTR) buying anothermillion worthof Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey-ledSquare Inc’s(NYSE:SQ)million investmentin Bitcoin and its offerings through Cash App, orPaypal Holdings Inc’s(NASDAQ:PYPL) allowing users to buy, hold, or sellcryptocurrency— suggest that the new-age companies are prepared for a change in financial dynamics if that happens. JPMorgan Chase & Co.(NYSE:JPM), which has publicly criticized the volatile nature of Bitcoin earlier,launchedits own virtual currency this year. Graysscale's Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts sawrecord average daily trading volume in November, as its Bitcoin assets increased five-fold from $2 billion in December last year to $10 billion today. As per Bloomberg, hedge funds accounted for 81% of the money coming in. “Institutional investors are keen on portfolio construction in the wake of COVID-19, and the ways they need to reposition themselves given how governments have injected stimulus into the system,” Michael Sonnenshein, managing director of Grayscale Investments, said. Arslanian expects increased pressure on asset managers to consider Bitcoin as part of portfolio construction as investors become comfortable with it. Price Action:GBTC closed 3.25% lower at $23.22 on Friday, and ETHE closed 3.48% lower at $122.05.

In aseries of tweets, Dorsey said he believed Twitter made the correct decision, but that “a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation.”\nIn his comments, Dorsey echoed Twitter’sprevious statementson the reason for the ban, writing that “offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.”\nAt the same time, Dorsey said that the ban also reflects “a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation.” (Twitter has spent much of thelast two yearstrying to figure out how to make its platform “healthier.”) He added that he feels Twitter’s decision has set a “dangerous” precedent that “an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation.”\nDorsey also pushed back on criticism that the company is engaging in censorship, writing that “a company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access.” He also made clear that Twitter did not coordinate with other companies who have also banned or suspended Trump in recent days.\nYou can read his full comments below:\n“I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this action, we made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter. Was this correct? I believe this was the right decision for Twitter. We faced an extraordinary and untenable circumstance, forcing us to focus all of our actions on public safety. Offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.\nThat said, having to ban an account has real and significant ramifications. While there are clear and obvious exceptions, I feel a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us. Having to take these actions fragment the public conversation. They divide us. They limit the potential for clarification, redemption, and learning. And sets a precedent I feel is dangerous: the power an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation. The check and accountability on this power has always been the fact that a service like Twitter is one small part of the larger public conversation happening across the internet.\nIf folks do not agree with our rules and enforcement, they can simply go to another internet service. This concept was challenged last week when a number of foundational internet tool providers also decided not to host what they found dangerous. I do not believe this was coordinated. More likely: companies came to their own conclusions or were emboldened by the actions of others. This moment in time might call for this dynamic, but over the long term it will be destructive to the noble purpose and ideals of the open internet. A company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access, yet can feel much the same. Yes, we all need to look critically at inconsistencies of our policy and enforcement. Yes, we need to look at how our service might incentivize distraction and harm. Yes, we need more transparency in our moderation operations. All this can’t erode a free and open global internet.\nThe reason I have so much passion for #Bitcoin is largely because of the model it demonstrates: a foundational internet technology that is not controlled or influenced by any single individual or entity. This is what the internet wants to be, and over time, more of it will be. We are trying to do our part by funding an initiative around an open decentralized standard for social media. Our goal is to be a client of that standard for the public conversation layer of the internet. We call it @bluesky.\nThis will take time to build. We are in the process of interviewing and hiring folks, looking at both starting a standard from scratch or contributing Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Putting a price on the customs agency’s 1,981bitcoinsappeared foolish at press time given how the market-leading cryptocurrency is soaring and crashing by the thousands seemingly every minute. Even so, with bitcoin trading hands above $35,000 for the past 24 hours, one could value Finland’s trove north of $69 million. The sale, which the agency is still planning out according to a Tuesday report inHelsingin Sanomat, will almost certainly realize gains far beyond what it expected when the Finnish authoritiesseized the first 1,666 bitcoinsfrom drug traders in 2016. Bitcoin was trading in the $600 range at the time and the stash was worth less than 1 million euros.

Today's Key News: ['By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock and oil prices fell on Friday, pressured by intensifying lockdowns and weak U.S. retail sales data, while the dollar index posted its largest weekly gain in more than two months. U.S. bond yields and stocks have risen recently, partly on expectations about the rollout of coronavirus vaccines and on a massive stimulus plan by the incoming Democratic administration. President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday unveiled a $1.9 trillion economic aid plan. But vaccination campaigns have progressed more slowly than expected and the prospect of stricter lockdowns in France and Germany, as well as a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in China, weighed on market sentiment. "I feel that after all the optimism regarding vaccines, we are now living the reality of a very slow rollout, which is weighing heavily on business activity," said Juan Perez, senior currency trader at Tempus Inc in Washington. "Until we have more guarantees on the medical front, markets will not continue to flourish despite whatever financial aid may be on the way," Perez said. The dollar gained ground against the euro and sterling, while the yen was little changed. Stocks fell but remained close to recent record highs, with investors also digesting the prospect of rising taxes to pay for Biden\'s plan. "Spending is easy to do but the question is how are you going to pay for it? Markets often ignore politics but they don\'t often ignore taxes," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 177.26 points, or 0.57%, to 30,814.26, the S&P 500 lost 27.29 points, or 0.72%, to 3,768.25 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 114.14 points, or 0.87%, to 12,998.50. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 1.01% and MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.86%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.93%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.67% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 2.01%. Story continues Yields were also pressured lower by a weaker-than-expected reading in U.S. retail sales. "This morning’s disappointing retail sales figures reinforced the idea that more stimulus will be needed," said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets in New York. U.S. 10-year notes last rose 13/32 in price to yield 1.0852%, from 1.129% late on Thursday. Despite the weekly dip in the benchmark yield, it was set to close a second week above 1%, a streak not seen since before the lockdowns took hold early last year. Oil prices fell sharply on concerns that demand would be lower as COVID-19 continues to rage globally. "The recent resurgence in coronavirus infections, appearance of new variants, delayed vaccine rollouts and renewed lockdown measures in most major OECD economies has clouded the economic and demand recovery," said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. U.S. crude recently fell 2.73% to $52.11 per barrel and Brent was at $54.87, down 2.75% on the day. The dollar index rose 0.573%, with the euro down 0.68% to $1.2073, while sterling was last trading at $1.3585, down 0.75% on the day. The Japanese yen weakened 0.07% versus the greenback at 103.88 per dollar. Spot gold dropped 1.1% to $1,826.59 an ounce. Silver fell 3.11% to $24.74. Bitcoin last fell 7.59% to $36,164.50.

What Happened: Andrew Trampe, an investor, filed a lawsuit in a federal court in Los Angeles on Thursday, claiming the video game developer misled investors about the game's condition and possible technical glitches that led to losses. According to the court filing, the plaintiff claims CD Projekt did not warn investors that Cyberpunk 2077 was virtually unplayable on the current-generation Xbox or Playstation systems due to an enormous number of bugs. The video game developer vowed to defend itself against any such claims. Why It Matters: Sony Corp (NYSE: SNE ) removed the long-anticipated game from the PlayStation store on Dec. 18 and offered full refunds to everyone who had purchased it. CD Projekt SAs American Depositary Receipt shares went down by 25% in the next three days after the games release on Dec. 10. They fell another 16% following Sonys announcement. Users started to complain about glitches and bugs in the game just hours after its official release, according to Bloomberg. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT ) has also begun offering refunds for the game but has not pulled the game out of the Microsoft store yet. Price Action: Sony shares fell 0.60% and closed at $96.26 in the after-hours trading on Thursday. Microsoft traded at $222.51, with a 0.11% loss at the Thursday post-market session close.

This evolved into trumpet playing in high school and eventually "loud" rock-n-roll bands by the time college and beyond hit. An entrepreneur, Zach has started multiple tech and music companies, including Immediatek, which rolled out Bair’s copy-control technology in 2002, and subsequently commercialized the original DiscLive, considered to be the pioneer of the "instant live" space, on a groundbreaking tour with the Pixies in 2004. Immediatek sold to Mark Cuban in 2006. Prior to Immediatek, he founded Voyence (previously known as PowerUp Networks) based on patented software of his design, and raised over $12M in a Series A round of funding. That company eventually sold to EMC Corp. He has carried the torch for music and technology ever since, continuing to pursue greater control, protection, and revenue for artists and labels, culminating in his leadership with VNUE to take the model to the next level.\n\nLOU MANN • EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR\n\nLou is former Executive Vice President and General Manager of Capital Records, and also former president of Media Properties for House of Blues.

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

And this week made it clear just how far some of those companies have come.An eye-popping IPO from Affirm led the way, but more than a half-dozen other fintech startups also made major news. And that's one of 10 things you need to know from the past week:Max Levchin, who co-founded PayPal and now leads Affirm, is no stranger to the power of fintech. (Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)1. Money talks Affirm tried its best to avoid a huge IPO pop that would leave money on the table. First, the provider of point-of-sale loans delayed its listing in December, in the wake of intense investor demand when Airbnb and DoorDash went public. (Let's take a moment to appreciate the strangeness of a company being worried its stock might be too popular.) Then, earlier this month, Affirm increased its IPO's initial price range of $33 to $38 per share to a new range of $41 to $44. Ultimately, it priced its shares even higher, landing on a $49 figure for a debut this Wednesday.And yet Affirm still opened trading at more than $90 per share and closed its first day at $96.36, up nearly 100% from that already-elevated IPO price. That resulted in a market cap of some $23 billion for Affirm, which was valued privately at $2.9 billion in 2019.The banner debut is a sign that the IPO market is still going crazy—more on that later in this newsletter. As my colleague James Thorne writes, it could be the first ofmany significant fintech IPOs to comein 2021, along with names like SoFi, Coinbase and Robinhood. Globally, there were $30.9 billion worth of VC exits in the fintech sector during 2020, according to PitchBook data, the highest total of at least the past decade.Taken in the context of the past seven days, Affirm's warm reception also underlines just how bullish investors are feeling about the future of fintech.Checkout.com, a London-based developer of payments technology, became the most valuable venture-backed company in Europe this week with a $450 million Series C that cameat a $15 billion valuation. In Singapore, ridehailing and food delivery giant Grab raised more than $300 million this week for its fintech unit.Financial data specialist MX, payments provider Rapyd and digital lending startup Blend all raised nine-figure fundings this week, resulting in respective valuations of $1.9 billion, $2.5 billion and $3.3 billion. For MX, that marks a 322% valuation step-up over its most-recent venture round, in 2019. For Rapyd, it is a 108% step-up in a little more than a year. And for Blend, it represents a 94% valuation increase in a mere five months.Plaid is one of the biggest VC-backed names in fintech, known for its financial infrastructure tools that connect data to vario Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $33,008, Bitcoin revisited $36,900 levels before falling back to sub-$36,000 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest reversal. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Sunday. Chainlink jumped by 15.8% to lead the way, with Binance Coin and Cardano’s ADA rallying by 6.38% and by 8.64% respectively. Ethereum also avoided the red, rising by a modest 0.43%. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack. Bitcoin Cash SV and Polkadot led the way down, with losses of 3.42% and 4.67% respectively. Crypto.com Coin (-0.63%), Litecoin (-0.54%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.68%) saw modest losses on the day. For the week ending 17 th January, it was also a mixed bag for the majors. Polkadot surged by 95.6% to lead the way, with Chainlink jumping by 46.2%. Cardano’s ADA also found strong support, rallying by 26.3%, with Binance Coin rising by 7.99%. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack, however. Bitcoin Cash SV slid by 21.9% to lead the way down. Litecoin and Ripple’s XRP also struggled, sliding by 16.1% and by 12.0% respectively. Crypto.com Coin and Ethereum saw relatively modest losses of 2.7% and 1.8% respectively. In the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $803.97bn before rising to a Thursday high $1,083.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,002.00bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 70.28% before falling to a Sunday low 66.33%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 66.68%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.33% to $36,018.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $35,630.0 before striking a high $36,071.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.28%), Chainlink (-0.21%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.03%) 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 3.08% to lead the way, with Binance Coin up by 2.07%. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $35,565 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,263 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and resistance at $37,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $38,625. Failure to avoid a fall through the $35,565 pivot would bring the first major support level at $34,203 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $32,505. The 23.6% FIB of $33,008 should limit any downside.

The benchmark S&P 500 index stands near record highs while bond yields have rallied to their highest levels since the pandemic began, despite last week's shocking assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump - an apparent divergence between the political and economic realities on the ground and market valuations. With Trump's presidency due to end on Jan. 20, investors say they are looking ahead to the trillions of dollars of additional stimulus promised by President-elect Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats, who will soon control both chambers of Congress, and what it would mean for economic growth and corporate profits. "It’s a market that actually says, 'We are investing for 2021 and we see explosive economic growth in the back half of this year,'" said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. "Because the market is a forward pricing mechanism, it frustrates the people that are watching the news in the here and now." Still, some investors wonder whether the market has gotten ahead of itself in a rally that has seen the S&P 500 surge more than 60% from its March lows. Rising Treasury yields threaten to dent the allure of stocks, which are trading near their highest valuations in 20 years, while the Federal Reserve could accelerate the timing of interest rate hikes if the recovery proves stronger than expected. Among the investors that have recently expressed concern are Jeremy Grantham of money manager GMO, who said earlier this month that the stock rally "has finally matured into a fully-fledged epic bubble." Bond giant PIMCO was more circumspect, predicting on Tuesday that the U.S. economy could rebound to pre-recession levels later this year but pointing out a bevy of risks, including a sooner-than-expected withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. Meanwhile, regulation concerns loom over the big technology and internet stocks that account for more than 15% of the S&P 500, and wild rides in the shares of electric car maker Tesla and cryptocurrency Bitcoin are bolstering the case for those who argue markets have entered a bubble. As markets have climbed, some investors have been in sell mode: Net outflows in equities totaled $2.4 billion last week, coming on the heels of near-record withdrawals a week before, client data from BofA Global Research showed. "Flows suggest clients may be cautious to add more equity exposure given index highs and extended valuations," BofA Global Research said in a note on Tuesday. Doubts about the rally's sustainability were a periodic feature of the decade-long bull market that followed the 2007-2009 recession and figured prominently in last year’s rebound, when many analysts and investors were struck by the dissonance presented by surging stock prices and the human and economic misery brought by the pandemic. HIGH VALUATIONS More recently, the market has looked past the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol and the subsequent push by Democrats to remove Trump from office, with the S&P 500 rising 2% over the past week. Should more political unrest occur around Biden's inauguration, investors have said they expect any associated market volatility to be temporary. Upcoming corporate earnings reports may need to be strong to support stock valuations. The S&P 500 trades at 22.7 times future earnings estimates, well above its long-term average of 15.3, according to Refinitiv Datastream. So far, that's what's expected. Earnings for S&P 500 companies are expected to rise nearly 24% in 2021 after falling 15% last year, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. "I'm not concerned because I think market valuations are reflecting a quicker rebound in profitability than folks thought was possible in the spring," Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said on Friday. Low interest rates and Treasury yields, which keep borrowing costs attractive for companies and help make equities relatively more attractive in comparison with bonds, have provided another rationale for the high valuations. However, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note has risen recently, climbing to around 1.11% from 0.78% about two months ago. While that increase supported interest rate-sensitive stocks such as banks, a sharp rise in yields could hit stocks, particularly those with longer-duration cash flows such as tech and growth stocks.At the same time, markets are starting to push up bets on when the U.S. central bank could tighten monetary policy, with eurodollar futures contract prices reflecting growing odds that a rate hike could happen as early as June 2023, roughly three months earlier than was priced in a week ago. "On a 12-month horizon, we would advise investors to be overweight equities, but for shorter-term positions right now we are more neutral," said Erik Knutzen, multi-asset class chief investment officer at Neuberger Berman.

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

Although Paulson gained roughly $5 billion in 2010 on a bet on gold, its strategy of investing billions of dollars into gold markets negatively impacted its portfolio in the last decade.\nJohn Paulson founded Paulson & Co in 1994 and the hedge fund managed almost $36 billion of assets at its peak, but assets under management fell to $9 billion last year.

What Happened:Bitcoinhas been on a rally since July, even though the momentum is staggered in the $19,000 levels of late. While many draw correlations between Bitcoin’s four-fold growth from March lows and the pandemic fueled market rally, others see the cryptocurrency as an alternative asset to gold. In 2017, Bitcoin peaked at $20,000 post, which led to a free-fall. The rally then was primarily fueled by a retail-investor frenzy. According toBloomberg, JPMorgan analysts seeGrayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust(OTC:GBTC) as a window for institutional investments in Bitcoin, which will push the demand for the apex cryptocurrency beyond retail purchases by millennials. “The multitude of regulated crypto exchanges and custodians has eliminated the career risk for institutional investors. In 2017, there was retail FOMO," Arslanian said in an interview. "The question is whether we will see institutional FOMO in 2021.” Why It Matters:Traditional banks have trailed fintech firms in terms of growth and embracing new technologies. Fintech firms’ foray in cryptocurrency — likeMicrostrategy Incorporated(NASDAQ:MSTR) buying anothermillion worthof Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey-ledSquare Inc’s(NYSE:SQ)million investmentin Bitcoin and its offerings through Cash App, orPaypal Holdings Inc’s(NASDAQ:PYPL) allowing users to buy, hold, or sellcryptocurrency— suggest that the new-age companies are prepared for a change in financial dynamics if that happens. JPMorgan Chase & Co.(NYSE:JPM), which has publicly criticized the volatile nature of Bitcoin earlier,launchedits own virtual currency this year. Graysscale's Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts sawrecord average daily trading volume in November, as its Bitcoin assets increased five-fold from $2 billion in December last year to $10 billion today. As per Bloomberg, hedge funds accounted for 81% of the money coming in. “Institutional investors are keen on portfolio construction in the wake of COVID-19, and the ways they need to reposition themselves given how governments have injected stimulus into the system,” Michael Sonnenshein, managing director of Grayscale Investments, said. Arslanian expects increased pressure on asset managers to consider Bitcoin as part of portfolio construction as investors become comfortable with it. Price Action:GBTC closed 3.25% lower at $23.22 on Friday, and ETHE closed 3.48% lower at $122.05.

Trump had regularly attempted to suppress the greenback to boost US exporters.\nAsian markets started the morning up strongly, hitting new record highs, but the gains petered out, and Joe Biden’s inauguration later today was not set to be greeted with a surge in markets in Europe.\nThe FTSE 100 was being called up just 15 points at 6726, the Dax in Germany flat at 13815 and France’s CAC 40 down 8 at 5590. Those prices were from CMC Markets. IG Index called the FTSE up 20.5,\nInflation data today for December will show there are no signs of prices rising as economies struggle under the weight of Covid. The numbers will not include the more optimistic feel that markets have indicated so far this month in the UK as vaccine rollout progresses quickly.\nEurope’s dismally slow pace of vaccinations will hold back their economies a little longer than the UK’s, although Britain has further to claw back after Covid hit it hardest last year.\nUK inflation could see a modest uptick to 0.5% from 0.3% in November largely due to higher fuel prices. The less-widely watched core inflation number is likely to come in at 1.3% from 1.1% before.\nEuropean inflation is set to come in at minus 0.3% in headline CPI and plus 0.2% in the core inflation figure.\nStockwatchers in the US may have been watching Yellen with half an eye, but the focus after hours was on Netflix, which shot the lights out on its trading figures. Shares in the popular big tech stock jumped 13% in after hours trading as it reported strong growth in subscriber numbers to more than 200 million despite the rise of Disney’s streaming product and some price rises.\nStill on global stocks, Alibaba shares jumped this morning after founder Jack Ma made his first public appearance since disappearing after criticising China’s regulators and state-owned banks in October.

Increased demand from institutional, corporate, and more recently retail investors has powered bitcoin's surge this year, attracted by the prospect of quick gains in a world of ultra-low yields and negative interest rates. The world's most popular cryptocurrency climbed as high as $40,402.46 and was last up 6.1% at $39,100. It crossed $30,000 for the first time on Jan. 2 and $20,000 on Dec. 16. Smaller coins ethereum, the second largest in terms of market capitalization, and XRP, the fourth biggest, gained 1.8% at $1,231 and 31% at 32 U.S. cents, respectively. Both currencies often move in tandem with bitcoin. Some investors viewed bitcoin as a hedge against inflation amid enormous monetary stimulus aimed at battling the economic devastation caused by COVID-19. Market participants though warned a correction could be in the cards after a scorching rally. "While further growth is inevitable, investors should not expect this to move in a straight line," said Gavin Smith, chief executive officer of cryptocurrency consortium, Panxora Group. "The reality is that bitcoin is far from being a magic money tree, nor is it free from downward price swings. In fact, we can expect dips as sharp as 25% at times as investors periodically withdraw profits," he added. Bitcoins surge happened as the market cap for the entire cryptocurrency sector topped $1 trillion on Thursday, according to data trackers CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Glassnode, which provides insight on blockchain data, noted that retail interest in bitcoin has increased the last few weeks, with the number of bitcoin addresses or wallets holding a "non-zero amount" of the virtual currency reaching an all-time high of more than 33 million. The information provider also said while interest in bitcoin and news coverage have grown, it is far from being in bubble territory. The number of daily new bitcoins has still not reached 2017 levels, Glassnode said, suggesting the currency is experiencing strong organic growth in adoption, but not the sort of "viral growth typical of a bubble."

Today's Key News: ['By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gauge of stocks across the world slipped from record highs on Friday and the dollar edged up against a basket of peers as weak economic data and underwhelming earnings drove investors to reverse some recent risky bets. Oil prices fell to end the week little changed and the dollar index posted its largest weekly drop in five weeks. Technology stocks weighed the most on the S&P 500, with IBM and Intel posting 10% and 9% declines, respectively, after underwhelming earnings. Energy stocks also fell on Wall Street, alongside the price of crude.

Hours earlier, the leading cryptocurrency had sliced through $30,000 like a light saber through gossamer, a torrid start to the year. • Once the price of the leading cryptocurrency crossed the $30,000 mark for the first time — something it had struggled to do for the last couple of days — it exploded upwards like a ball released under water, reaching a new all-time high of $33,136.92 and then continuing the push, breaching $34,000 hours later. • “Bitcoin makes TSLA (Tesla) look like it is standing still,”tweetedJim Bianco, well-known macro strategist, shortly after the cryptocurrency broke $30,000. • The latest gains come two days after bitcoin closed out a year in which the cryptocurrency rose more than 300%, with an almost 50% gain in December alone, sort of like a boulder gaining speed downhill, only in the opposite direction. On Nov. 30,bitcoinbreecheda nearly three-year-old high of $19,793. By the close of Dec. 31, the cryptocurrency had risen about $10,000. • Propelling the record-setting run is agrowing narrativethat bitcoin represents a form of “digital gold,” along with a flood of institutional investors into the cryptocurrency: Among them: Anthony Scaramucci’s Skybridge Capital ($182 millionin December); MassMutual ($100 millionin December); and Guggenheim (up to 10%of its $5 billion macro fund). • “Bitcoin price is being driven by institutional money and there is not enough supply,” Laurent Kssis, managing director at 21Shares, told CoinDesk. “The number of family offices asking to invest in our ETP is just staggering. I’ve never seen this before. In 2017 it was just retail knocking at the door now it’s only institutional.” • Kssis’ statements are borne out by the fact that the number of whale entities – clusters of crypto wallet addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 bitcoin –roseto a new record high of 1,994 this past Wednesday. • The metric increased by over 16% in 2020 and 7.3% in Q4 alone. • “The final land grab has started, and by this time next year, accumulating >1,000 Bitcoin will be nearly impossible for most people,” Jehan Chu, CEO at Hong Kong-based trading firm Keneti Capital, told CoinDesk. • HODLersalso have the U.S. Federal Reserve to thank for the cryptocurrency’s rise, as it, along with other central banks, has been printing money with abandon, trying to stave off the worst economic effects of the pandemic. This is viewed by many as a potential catalyst for inflation and bad for the U.S. dollar, both of which could be positive for bitcoin. • “Many corporations are parking USD in BTC because they are losing money in conventional banking so it makes total sense,” 21Shares’ Kssis said. • Growing global macro uncertainty may also be playing a factor in the recent surge. A peaceful transition of power in the U.S. is no longer the iron clad guarantee it used to be as 11 GOP Senatorssaythey’ll vote to reject the electors from certain states. While it’s still almost certain President-elect Joe Biden will assume office later this month, the need for a qualifier is a new event. • That plus a mutated strain of COVID 19, a lagging world economy, and concerns over the effects of the now-completed Brexit, may not be helping the zeitgeist, but could be aiding bitcoin which some see as insurance against global chaos. • Bitcoin may also be benefiting from money being moved out of the XRP token and so-called privacy coins which are facinglegalandregulatorychallenges. • With a market value now of over $595 billion, bitcoin ismore valuablethan all but nine publicly traded companies, sitting between Alibaba at $648.3 billion and Berkshire Hathaway at $543.7 billion. • Bitcoin enthusiasts will likely find some joy in that last bit, an event that occurred last week, as the Berkshire’s CEO, legendary investor Warren Buffett, once famouslyderidedbitcoin as “probably rat poison squared.” • The cryptocurrency has alsorose up the ranksof the world’s most valuable currencies, overtaking the Saudi Riyal into 17th place, just behind the Mexican Peso.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rallied by 7.02% on Friday. Partially reversing Thursday’s 13.06% tumble, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,058.0. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin slid to an early morning intraday low $28,989.0 before making a move. Coming within range of the first major support level at $28,840, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $33,850.0. While falling short of the first major resistance level at $34,260, Bitcoin broke through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 before wrapping up the day at $33,050 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Crypto.com Coin fell by 0.27% to buck the trend on the day. It was a particularly bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Chainlink surged by 17.19% to lead the way, with Cardano’s ADA (+13.60%), and Ethereum (+11.07%) close behind. Binance Coin (+6.02%) and Litecoin (+6.26%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV , (+2.42%), Polkadot (+0.25%) and Ripple’s XRP (+1.80%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $1,080.72bn before sliding to an early Friday low $812.79bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $926.91bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 67.47% before falling to a Friday low 64.63%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 65.20%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.28% to $32,634.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $33,036.0 to a low $32,472.0. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV and Ripple’s XRP were up by 0.76% and by 0.07% to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 1.47% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,966 to bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major resistance level at $34,942 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $33,850.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and resistance at $35,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,827. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,966 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,081 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$28,000 levels and the 38.2% FIB of $27,465. The second major support level sits at $27,105.

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

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

This battle, pitting corporate interests seeking to profit from the Bitcoin system’s disruptive potential against an anti-corporatist dream for a human-first financial system that bypasses institutional middlemen, has been in play for some time. But withbitcoin’slatest price rally, the fight has intensified. Now, Wall Street’s heavyweights are moving in. And to many who hail from Bitcoin’s “cypherpunk” roots, those guys are the enemy. Related:Crypto Long & Short: Bitcoin's Relationship With Gold Is More Complicated Than It Looks The engagement ofFidelity,Citibank,BlackRockand nowMassMutualneed not be the death knell for a humanist Bitcoin dream. There’s still a pathway to a fairer, more open, inclusive financial model, even with those institutions increasingly investing in and engaging with bitcoin services. But the route to that idealized future is less direct and, inevitably, involves more intense competition. It’s also not clear whether these competing visions can coexist in the long run. Either way, in the medium term – which may last decades – the tensions will persist and intensify. Who ultimately wins, and how, is what matters. To be clear, many long-term enthusiasts for bitcoin are cheering the arrival of these big names. Partly that’s because their participation has boosted the cryptocurrency’s price, which keeps bitcoin HODLers happy. It’s also because these newcomers are finally comprehending the core value proposition for investing in bitcoin as a digitally scarce store of value. That offers vindication for all who’ve been telling this story for the better part of a decade. Related:Saylor Hits Back at Claims MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Trove Makes It an ETF But there’s still an inherent conflict between the interests of regulated, compliance-conscious institutions, which will support the imposition of regulations and controls to ease their own participation in it, and those that see such rules and constraints as exclusionary barriers to entry for a wider swath of humanity. A lightning rod here is KYC and AML, the “know-your-customer” and “anti-money laundering” rules that compel banks to collect identifying records for all their account holders. This system means everywhere that Bitcoin touches the legacy financial system, which it will increasingly do as more big name companies and financial institutions are drawn to it, there is growing pressure for crypto service providers to impose KYC and, in turn to avoid dealing with others who don’t. (See: thecrypto “Travel Rule.”). The problem is not only that KYC runs counter to the cypherpunk ethos of privacy. As we discussed ina recent Money Reimagined podcast, this requirement can seriously hurt the goals of financial inclusion and innovation. Raoul Pal, CEO of RealVision and influential global macro investor, found himself in the middle of this fight recently after hetweetedto bitcoiners that KYC is in their interest because it will bring institutional money into the asset and boost its value. As someone with an account bearing the name SexyWebCamPro100x noted in one of more than 700 replies to that remark, the tweet begged fora meme of someone kicking a hornet’s nest. Pal is an influential thinker about Bitcoin’s place in the future financial system. So we invited him onto this week’s “Money Reimagined” podcast to discuss his brawl with Crypto Twitter. For balance, we also invited CoinDesk columnist Jill Carlson, who, among other roles, is a founder of the Open Money Initiative, which focuses on boosting financial access and economic freedom for underserved communities. Pal offered a nuanced explanation of his position. He said while his point was partly about allowing both bitcoin HODLers and institutions to “get rich,” it was also that for the Bitcoin system to be a transformative force it needs the “network effect” of more money coming into the space, which in turn requires institution-friendly regulation. “For people to realize their ambitions that it’s a stateless money … for it to be adopted by people who live within the confines of a sovereign state, unfortunately it will have to be regulated and there’s almost nothing we can do about it,” Pal said. Some might see a contradiction: for Bitcoin to realize its power as a “stateless” network, the state must exercise more control over it. But Pal’s point is about sequencing. He says we need to first go through a process of official accommodation within the existing system to advance Bitcoin’s journey along“Metcalfe’s Law.”Once it becomes a ubiquitous network, then it is in a position to properly challenge that system. Indeed, as Carlson pointed out, the positive thing, for those who believe in Bitcoin’s disruptive potential, is that “you’re not going to implement KYC and AML at the protocol level.” Since “there is nothing inherent to Bitcoin that can be regulated, enforced or controlled in that way,“ it can at that level always resist official coercion. But she also worried that the ever-growing encroachment of compliance requirements on applications builton topof that protocol impedes access to it among marginalized and financially excluded people. Carlson cited how LocalBitcoins, a peer-to-peer exchange network that was once a “gateway to economic freedom” in places that impose capital controls and other forms of monetary repression, has “increasingly come under scrutiny and has to institute more and more KYC and AML standards and protocols.” She added, “That’s problematic where we are talking about people who don’t have any identity or are unbanked and are refugees and so forth.” So, where does this go? Following Pal’s trajectory, we must first see expanded ownership of bitcoin as an asset, during which its price will drive dramatically higher before eventually reaching stability. Only then can it accommodate a broader set of use cases. One idea is that universal acceptance will then provide network effect benefits to “layer 2” solutions such asLightning, which could enable lightweight, low-cost transactions for all. Another is that universal bitcoin acceptance as a store-of-value lets it evolve into a programmable social reserve asset, which then becomes a form of smart, automatically executable collateral upon which innovative new forms of borrowing, lending and insurance are built. In theory, it could replace fiat sovereign assets such as U.S. Treasury notes and bonds as the building block for a global financial system, one that would presumably be more decentralized, with less friction and cost, more innovation and greater accessibility. But does that mean those seeking positive, humanistic change must just wait their turn? Must they first let Wall Street have its fill? And what guarantee is there that just because it becomes an institutionalized asset it also becomes a tool for payments and financial access? It’s hard to say. As Pal noted in our podcast interview, “The reality is that what we want [Bitcoin] to be, as individuals, is irrelevant. It’s a network that lives and breathes and does its thing.” All that’s true. But individuals also have the capacity to organize and, for better or worse, the capacity to lobby governments to introduce rules that influence the evolution of these networked systems. Which is why this tug of war must continue. LET’S BE FRANC.The Swiss National Bank’s straightlaced central bankers run a predictable, transparent and generally respected monetary policy. So they might chafe at a comparison to China’s policymakers, who oversee a rather opaque, government-mandated system of capital controls and centralized interest rates. But according tothis Bloomberg article, it looks as if Switzerland could earn the same “currency manipulator” label that the U.S. Treasury Department put on China in a politically charged move last year. In theory, the U.S. could consider sanctions if a country is deemed to be using its currency for unfair trade advantages. Switzerland has been actively intervening to hold down the value of the Swiss franc since 2011, when the euro crisis prompted huge inflows of safe haven-seeking money into the country’s economy. The U.S. would be more within its rights to call Switzerland a currency manipulator than it was with China. (The Treasury Dept. removed the designation fromChina earlier this year.) Switzerland is explicitly using its money-printing powers to alter the value of its currency with the goal of making its businesses more competitive. China used to do the same thing a decade ago. But at the time of the Treasury designation it was going the other way: intervening to strengthen the yuan against the dollar. Still, you can hardly blame Switzerland from trying to inculcate its relatively small economy from forces outside of its control in the much larger currency zone across its borders. The U.S. may well be sympathetic to that argument, and would refrain from applying sanctions. But, as the article points out, the risk to the Swiss National Bank is that currency speculators would see the designation as an excuse to test the central bank’s resolve. Might this lead to an even bigger influx of traders looking to push the Swiss franc higher on the bet that a now politically anxious SNB will hesitate to buy euros or dollars to stop the franc from appreciating? Maybe. But there’s a bigger picture problem here, one that plays into our future of money thesis. The SNB’s problems in managing a currency speaks to a wider set of risks where investors are growing nervous about expansionary monetary policy and growing fiscal debts within the worst global economic environment since the Great Depression. Switzerland’s experience offers lessons, where letter-of-the-law U.S. policymaking could provoke unforeseen consequences in currency markets. Were this to play out on a more global scale, with bigger and more numerous economies involved, we could have ourselves an international currency war. And i... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Click to skip ahead our lengthy discussion and seeCathie Wood\'s Top 5 Small-Cap Stock Picks.\n"The year has certainly started off in a wild way." ARK Investment Management\'s CEO, Cathie Wood, said that for this year, she will be focusing on capital gains, tax rates and the corporate tax rates following the sweep of the democrats into both the house and the senate. "I think they will go up and that will not be good," said Wood talking about the taxes in a market update webinar of ARK Invest.\nAs of today, Wood stated that the market seems to be focusing on the odds that America will have at least another trillion dollars of stimulus and that the bull market is already broadening up. "I can say I was wrong about what I believe the impact on the stock market was going to be in the short term," she admitted while saying that they were correct however about their assumptions on the V-shaped recovery that is caused by the wobbles of the resurgence in the coronavirus\' infection and fatality rates. "The bull market is broadening out with cyclicals joining the party and actually, we\'re very gratified to see that," she stated.\nHoroscope/Shutterstock.com\n"We think we\'re in a very strong recovery on balance with the occasional wobble as we negotiate the coronavirus. We think there could be an earnings explosion". Wood marked that they are already noticing the surprises relative to their expectations and she emphasized that these were the \'biggest surprises\' she has ever seen in her entire career.\nJust last year, the S&P 500 delivered $100 in earnings on average, and with the momentum that the market has today, accordingly, it could achieve up to $200 earnings at the end of 2021.\nThe treasury yields in the final week of 2020 were breaking out above 1%, and that represents the 10-year treasury bond yield. "Most bond observers and investors I think, have been surprised at the power of the move through 1%. This seems to be breaking a long-term trend that many thought would not be broken for quite some time," she stated, explaining that this belief is due to the Fed\'s current monetary stance. One of the facts here is that the treasury bond yield is moving very rapidly through a key resistance point from the bond investors\' point of view that kept them wondering what could possibly be the reasons for it. Cathie Wood marked that this unusual move in the capital markets left the people confused because the valuations have gone too far and the long-term interest rates are also moving up which tends to be a dampener on the valuations.

In a recent portfolio update, Ruffer alluded to the involvement of the “world’s largest custodian of digital assets” without naming names. “Access to the bitcoin is controlled by multi-layer security protocols,” Ruffer wrote of its cold-storage setup. A second source confirmed to CoinDesk that Coinbase was the custodian described in Ruffer’sportfolio update. Coinbase Custody announced last month it was storing over$20 billionin customer assets.

Coinbase confirmed on Wednesday it was conducting trade execution and crypto custody for One River Digital. It declined to comment for this story. Ruffer owns a stake in One River Digital. Billionaire hedge fund manager Alan Howard does as well. One River Digital did not respond to a request for comment.

On Thursday, as bitcoin continued to race past its $20,000 ceiling into new all-time highs, the exchangeannounced it had confidentially filed for an initial public offeringwith U.S. regulators. Meanwhile, Ruffer explained in its portfolio update that macroeconomic factors guided the manager’s bitcoin bet. “The current macroeconomic environment is set up perfectly for an asset that blends the benefits of technology and gold,” Ruffer said, adding: “Negative interest rates, extreme monetary policy, ballooning public debt, dissatisfaction with governments – all provide powerful tailwinds for bitcoin at a time when conventional safe-haven assets, particularly government bonds, are perilously expensive.” Ruffer said bitcoin has grown to meet this moment. “Since 2017, billions of dollars have been invested in the infrastructure needed to support this wave of bitcoin adoption; many of the impediments to institutional investors have been dismantled.” Ruffer’s analysis was clear: the institutions are here with more on the way; the cypherpunks are fading fast. Wrote the $27 billion mega-manager: “[Bitcoin] seems set to move from being loved by the anti-establishment to being embraced by the dominant interests of the establishment.” Zack Seward contributed reporting. • Ruffer Investment Used Coinbase to Execute $745M Bitcoin Buy • Ruffer Investment Used Coinbase to Execute $745M Bitcoin Buy... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/GGDD-MMEE', 'Michael Saylor sponsoring conference: Bitcoin for Corporations', 134, '2021-01-24 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l3n8ar/michael_saylor_sponsoring_conference_bitcoin_for/', 'Came across the link on youtube when interviewed by CNBC (Michael Chad Saylor buys the dip).

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

I haven't seen your Bitcoin vids, so while I understand lines of resistance and ascending and descending triangles, I don't get exactly what a logarithmic regression rainbow is supposed to do or how you mapped the rainbow to the price graph.\n\nHowever, if I may offer my $0.02....\n\nI don't think that it's really possible to assess this bull market accurately, especially ETH. The dollar and most other fiat currencies are expected to lose a significant chunk of purchasing power, and ETH 1 is a notably different beast than ETH 2.0; they will certainly have different fair market valuations, and unless there is a really big problem with ETH 2.0, it can likely command an order of magnitude higher a price than ETH's historical price. Although again, who knows?\n\nEDIT: This is probably also why several of the projections in the previous ETH price prediction link post are flawed. If you are making a price prediction based on the BTC ratio, you are not factoring ETH 2.0's higher functionality. If it can command a higher price, it may also be able to command a higher ratio. [/EDIT]\n\nI think that these reasons and a few others like them mean that if you just draw a shape on a TA price chart, you're almost certainly going to lowball the potential price action and sell too early. Conversely, if you take these factors into account, the margin of error opens up. I'm drawing best guess peak-price figures which range all the way from 7K to over 90K. \n\nAt this point I am comfortable saying I know that I don't know ETH's peak price. Timing is probably a better metric because the peak will probably be between August and November, so if you just DCA out somewhere in that timeframe you will probably outperform someone who aimed for a target price and sold out.", 'l4asmz']]], ['u/AwkwardAarvark', "Is this the last bubble and why I'd rather pay taxes than take loans against BTC", 45, '2021-01-25 00:49', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l4awqz/is_this_the_last_bubble_and_why_id_rather_pay/', "Not long ago Michael Saylor has started publicly investing in bitcoin; in an interview he referred to the method of taking out loans against BTC rather than selling them. He made the example of wealthy families who have owned land in Manhattan for generations; these families take out loans against the properties. The loans are untaxed and since the price of the properties keep rising, can be paid without losing the properties. Sounds nice. Since his interview (and maybe even before) bitcoiners here and elsewhere have agreed with Saylor to do the same thing with their BTC.\n\nIn my view, that's a bad idea. Here's why.\n\n 1. Counterparty risk. If you deposit your BTC with Celsius or some other lender as collateral, you no longer hold the keys. The lender might get hacked or otherwise go belly-up, and you'll be out of your collateral. Whether this is an acceptable risk is a personal matter.\n\n 2. The strategy is based on the assumption that BTC will keep rising in value. (If BTC does not rise in value, then the loan will come due, with interest, and the collateral may not suffice to cover both, making the loan a very bad investment.). The second risk is thus - what if the 2021 rise is bitcoin's last bubble?\n\nIt think this might be the last bubble. Over a year ago, [someone else made the argument](https://forums.prohashing.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6423) that there is only room for one more bubble. While that post is worth reading, here's why I think there's little room left to grow after this bubble.\n\nLet's assume that the top of the current bull market/bubble is at $150,000. Not unreasonable. That gives a market cap of $2.25 trillion (assuming only 15 million BTC in circulation). That puts BTC at around 20% of the [gold market cap](https://companiesmarketcap.com/gold/marketcap/). That would make bitcoin a major player.\n\nA following bubble (maybe sometime around 2024), which increases the price by, e.g. 10x (i.e. to 1.5 million per BTC) would put us at a whopping $22.5 trillion market cap. That's [two thirds of the S&P 500.](https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_market_cap) It's nearly [half of all the US stock market](https://siblisresearch.com/data/us-stock-market-value/). It would [exceed M2 money supply](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/m2.asp).\n\nSo much for comparisons. None of this means that bitcoin cannot reach such lofty heights, especially in a globalized economy. It's possible, maybe even probable. However, I think it will become increasingly unlikely, and it is certainly not inevitable. Government and institutional resistance is likely to grow exponentially. While governments cannot regulate bitcoin itself, they can regulate bitcoin's interactions with their economies. China, for instance, limits the amount of Remninbi a person can convert to US$ to $50,000. Is it inconceivable that governments will limit the amount of BTC that can be exchanged for fiat, or for goods and services per person? Especially if prompted to do so from powerful lobbying interests?\n\nTime will tell. I could be wrong, which is why I post this here.

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

The company, based in Bellevue, Wash., is already running crypto mines in North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky, and plans to open more before long. It’s not hard to understand why. Right now, a single Bitcoin—the digital mining equivalent of a gold nugget—is worth around $20,000. Mining a single Bitcoin block brings a reward of 6.25 of them, or about $125,000. If Core Scientific’s mining ventures are successful, the company will not just make a lot of money. It will also help to repatriate crypto production to the United States, where Bitcoin got its start. The recent resurgence in crypto mining feels like a good-news story. Mining companies like Core Scientific are in a position to make money and create jobs in rural areas, while also ensuring more Bitcoin—which is becoming a strategic asset—ends up in American hands. But there are also reasons for caution. The last crypto-mining boom promised similar benefits but resulted in fly-by-night companies leaving a trail of scams and environmental degradation in their wake. Will the outcome be any different this time? Mining cryptocurrency is different from conventional mining in some obvious ways. There’s no excavating and hauling ore. And the tools of the trade are not pickaxes and dynamite. Instead, crypto miners rely on two things to make a living: custom-designed computer chips and a torrent of electricity. A crypto-mining operation looks like this: In order to find a digital nugget, crypto miners pit their computers against others around the world in a race to solve complex math problems. The computer that solves the problem broadcasts the solution to others on the network and, in doing so, adds a block tothe blockchain—a tamperproof ledger that serves as a public record of transactions. For their trouble, the owner of the winning computer pockets the “block reward,” which is 6.25 Bitcoins in the case of Bitcoin plus transaction fees. The process is repeated every 10 minutes or so. In the early days, when it was still viable to mine Bitcoin with a home laptop, a large proportion of crypto mining took place in the U.S. But as the computer power needed to solve the math problems increased, Chinese mining operations came to dominate. The Chinese miners enjoyed two advantages: easy access to cheap power, including in places like Mongolia, and a domestic manufacturing base capable of cranking out so-called mining rigs—computers with custom chips made just for mining. While there are other mining operations around the globe, China remains far and away the leader, as can be seen inthis chartfrom the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance: Now, some U.S. companies believe they can wrest some of the mining pie back from China. In the case of Core Scientific, it has struck arrangements for cheap power across five sites, spanning over 100 acres in total, in Dalton, Ga., Marble, N.C., and Calvert City, Ky. The firm has also cut deals with Chinese manufacturers to get first dibs on the newest mining rigs, and plans to mine not just Bitcoin but so-called alt coins like Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Zcash, and Ethereum. Core Scientific is now one of the biggest U.S. miners, but its operations are part of a still larger plan. That plan is being steered by an outfit called Foundry, which is behind the just announced $23 million investment in Core Scientific. Foundry is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG), a sprawling crypto conglomerate that recently announced it wouldspend $100 millionon mining initiatives. According to Foundry CEO Mike Colyer, boosting crypto production in the U.S. will serve to strengthen Bitcoin’s network by diversifying the miners who maintain it. “The only way Bitcoin works is when it’s distributed through the world and when it’s decentralized,” says Colyer, who predicts the share of U.S.-produced Bitcoin could rise to 25% in the next few years. Put another way, the U.S. mining ventures will help ensure that no consortium of miners can collude to manipulate the blockchain network. Such collusion requires a single entity to control over 50% of the network—a risk that is is remote in the case of Bitcoin, but which has transpired in the case of smaller digital currencies. Foundry’s mining initiatives offer the promise of strengthening Bitcoin’s network—and, of course, giving the company a chance to make money—but may also reflect another strategic imperative. Namely, as demand for Bitcoin increases in the market, more companies may wish to have a private supply of it to facilitate trading operations. In the case of DCG, which has a giant consumer Bitcoin business, Foundry’s ventures may help facilitate vertical integration. “Mining is a great way to accumulate Bitcoin. With the correct setup, you can mine it cheaper than you can buy it,” says Amanda Fabiano, who formerly oversaw mining operations at investment giant Fidelity and now does the same for crypto-trading firm Galaxy Digital. To get a different perspective on Bitcoin mining in North America, I spoke to Steve Wright, the general manager of a public utility in Chelan County, Wash. During the last big Bitcoin boom in 2017, Wright had to contend with a crush of mining companies asking to tap into the county’s ample hydroelectric resources. “We had a lot of companies come in and say, ‘We’re going to do great things,’ and then they would be gone from the face of the earth,” Wright recalls. “People would say, ‘We’re here for long term,’ and then nobody would pick up the phone.” Problems also came in the form of reckless operators who overloaded transformers, triggering fires. Meanwhile, the crypto miners who wanted to set up shop demanded the low electricity rates available to locals. For Wright, agreeing to those demands risked undercutting the profits the utility earned from selling its hydropower at higher rates to outside markets. Wright also faced pushback from county residents who questioned whether it was ethical to expend energy on something like Bitcoin mining. “When you have a green supply of power and you have a carbon-challenged world, people were asking if this is the best use of that power,” said Wright, whose job involves overseeing Columbia River dams like the one below. The debate over the environmental impact of crypto mining is not restricted to Chelan County. The payment giant Square, which recentlybought $50 millionof Bitcoin for its corporate treasury,announceda $10 million pledge this week to support a “Bitcoin Clean Energy” initiative as part of a larger plan to become carbon neutral by 2030. Meanwhile, other U.S. companies are finding creative ways to reduce Bitcoin’s environmental impact. Fabiano of Galaxy Digital pointed to three firms in the oil-and-gas field—Crusoe Energy, Great American Mining, and Upstream Data—that arecapturing the energytypically wasted through flaring (when shale drilling rigs burn off excess natural gas) to power crypto mining. All of this may help assuage critics who view Bitcoin mining as an environmental disaster. But firms like Core Scientific also have to overcome another public relations problem: that mining operations are run by shifty carpetbaggers who will leave local communities in the lurch. This perception is another legacy of the 2017 Bitcoin boom when digital miners—who typically share the libertarian, borderless worldview of the larger crypto community—took towns across the country for a ride. The most famous example is Rockdale, Texas. The town became the subject of aWiredmagazine featureabout how a Chinese firm, Bitmain, touted a new Bitcoin venture that would help replace jobs and revenue that had been lost when anAlcoaplant closed. Rockdale town officials put on lavish dinners to make the mining executives feel welcome but, as happened in Chelan County and elsewhere, they vanished into the night. As for jobs, cryptocurrency mining operations may provide a handful of new positions for local residents. But Wright says the employment opportunities are nothing like what a recently closed aluminum plant used to provide—meaning his county has less reason to roll out a welcome mat for crypto companies. Colyer, the Foundry CEO, acknowledges the crypto-mining industry must overcome deep levels of mistrust. But he insists ventures like Core Scientific are a different breed from past fly-by-night operations. “In 2017, there were lots of people making huge promises, running around the company, and scaring local governments. A lot of those people have disappeared, and the companies that are left are legitimate,” he says. But even if the North American mining companies can overcome public skepticism, they will also have to prove they can succeed in a venture that has mostly been defined by failure. A successful crypto-mining operation requires the use of new machines built with ASIC chips—a type of computer chip custom-built for a specific purpose. In the case of Bitcoin mining rigs, the chips are specially designed to crunch the math problems that build the blockchain. This raises an obvious question: If a company can manufacture the best mining rigs, why would it sell them rather than set up a Bitcoin-mining operation of its own? And indeed Bitmain, one of the two Chinese companies that makes most of the machines, has faced past accusations of passing off used mining rigs as new. Meanwhile, the company is the subject of an ongoingclass action lawsuitthat claims it surreptitiously mined Bitcoins purchased by its customers. The allegations are unproven, and Bitmain denies wrongdoing. But the situation appears to pose a risk for the likes of Foundry and Core Scientific, which are not only undertaking their own mining operations but plan to supply machines to other companies. Colyer of Foundry says that such concerns were valid in the past but that the mining industry has evolved to eliminate self-dealing by the Chi... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/j-corduroy', 'Just Got SIM Swapped', 97, '2021-01-26 00:27', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/l50k31/just_got_sim_swapped/', 'Yep.\n\nAnd for the record when the crypto market goes nuts I am not recommending your sloppy asses to anybody. \n\nGot an email saying my number was changed to some random ass 31 digit number (new SIM).

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

According to an indictment filed in the U.S. Southern District Court of New York and unsealed on Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has charged Amir Bruno Elmaani, aka “Bruno Brock,” on two counts of tax evasion. Elmaani, who created a blockchain protocol called Oyster Pearl, is alleged to have made “millions of dollars” from an initial coin offering of its pearl (PRL) cryptocurrency in 2017. Those tokens were purportedly to be used for the purchase of online data storage that fueled the Oyster protocol. Related: Ethereum Far Outpaces Bitcoin in Developer Activity in 2020: Electric Capital Report Rather than reporting the income earned from the sales to the IRS, Elmaani allegedly falsified his 2017 tax return and failed to file one in 2018, instead pocketing the millions. “As it turns out, Elmaani was funneling the proceeds of his alleged cryptocurrency scheme through a shell company that hid the true nature of his financial interests,” said William Sweeney Jr., the FBI’s assistant director, in a Department of Justice statement . According to the indictment, Elmaani used $10 million in proceeds to buy multiple yachts (where he stored gold bars), real estate and home renovations, as well as spending $1.6 million at a carbon-fiber composite company. The maximum penalty of a criminal charge for tax evasion carries a maximum of five years per count, meaning Elmaani could be facing up to 10 years in a federal prison. Related: Would the STABLE Act Make Running an Ethereum Node Illegal? Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a separate civil action against Elmaani on Wednesday. He is charged with conducting an illegal securities offering of PRL tokens and profiting from “minting millions of unauthorized tokens for himself at no cost and selling them into the secondary market, thereby causing the value of others’ tokens to plummet.” Story continues The exit scam Beginning October 2018, Elmaani – operating under his pseudonym Bruno Brock – exploited a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain to create new tokens to be sold at a below-market price before creating new ones for himself for free. At the time, Elmaani said he was retaining millions of PRL in accordance with his “founders share” and in the process claimed he had to move his PRL tokens to a different wallet in order to avoid double taxation, per the DOJ indictment. By inflating the fixed supply of PRL through his access to the protocol, it’s claimed Elmaani was able to convert his newly minted PRL tokens to other cryptocurrencies using a “foreign-based exchange.” After discovering the alleged foul play, the exchange ceased all trading for PRL which left investors holding bags of essentially worthless tokens. The SEC said, “Elmaani made approximately $570,000 in illicit gains through the minting and sale of Pearl tokens and, as a result of his sales, the price of Pearl tokens fell by nearly 65%, resulting in significant losses for investors.” See also: Over 13% of Bitcoin Crime Proceeds Laundered Through ‘Privacy Wallets’: Elliptic Elmaani used a coin mixer – a service designed to conceal the true origin or destination of cryptocurrencies on a given blockchain – before transferring funds to family members and friends, after which he transferred them to his own accounts, according to DOJ. “The underlying scheme was old-fashioned fraud and tax evasion,” said Audrey Strauss, acting Manhattan U.S. attorney. “Thanks to the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation Division, Elmaani is now in custody and facing federal prosecution.” Related Stories Cryptocurrency Founder Charged With Avoiding Tax to Buy Yachts and Homes Cryptocurrency Founder Charged With Avoiding Tax to Buy Yachts and Homes... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['* U.S. economy\'s resilience, strong earnings lift mood * Bitcoin jumped 10% Thursday as riskier assets rebounded * Graphic: World FX rates https://tmsnrt.rs/2RBWI5E By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The dollar remained on the back foot on Friday as an improvement in risk appetite sapped demand for the safest assets, with investors taking cheer from U.S. economic data wasn\'t as bad as feared. Wall Street also provided a lift to sentiment, as stocks rebounded after earnings season got off to a strong start and concerns eased around hedge funds selling long positions to cover shorts. The dollar index was little changed at 90.566 early in the Asian day, after slipping 0.1% overnight. The gauge is still on track for a 0.4% weekly advance following safety buying at the start of the week amid concerns that President Joe Biden\'s fiscal spending package will not be as large as the proposed $1.9 trillion. However, many analysts expect the dollar to return to the downward trend that saw it lose nearly 7% of its value last year, particularly with the Federal Reserve committed to ultra-easy monetary policy. "Wide expectations of that huge issuance that\'s coming and the support of the Fed mean that we\'re looking in the medium-term for further U.S. dollar weakness," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney. "The flipside of the reversal in risk appetite is we\'re seeing good support for commodity currencies," like the Australian dollar, he added. The Aussie was about flat at 76.75 U.S. cents after rising 0.2% overnight. The euro was little changed at $1.21175 after edging higher in the previous session.

Wall Street also provided a lift to sentiment, as stocks rebounded after earnings season got off to a strong start and concerns eased around hedge funds selling long positions to cover shorts. The dollar index was little changed at 90.566 early in the Asian day, after slipping 0.1% overnight. The gauge is still on track for a 0.4% weekly advance following safety buying at the start of the week amid concerns that President Joe Biden\'s fiscal spending package will not be as large as the proposed $1.9 trillion. However, many analysts expect the dollar to return to the downward trend that saw it lose nearly 7% of its value last year, particularly with the Federal Reserve committed to ultra-easy monetary policy. "Wide expectations of that huge issuance that\'s coming and the support of the Fed mean that we\'re looking in the medium-term for further U.S. dollar weakness," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney. "The flipside of the reversal in risk appetite is we\'re seeing good support for commodity currencies," like the Australian dollar, he added. The Aussie was about flat at 76.75 U.S. cents after rising 0.2% overnight. The euro was little changed at $1.21175 after edging higher in the previous session. The dollar advanced 0.1% to 104.335 yen, another traditional safe haven, adding to the previous day\'s gains of about 0.2%.

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

This year, with the price of bitcoin shooting for the moon, Bitcoiners have more reason to celebrate – and more reason to assert their sovereignty over their private keys. Read more:Bitcoin Blasts Past $34K for First Time, Less Than 24 Hours After Blowing Through $30K An annual event first initiated by Trace Mayer,Proof of Keysis an informal celebration that aims to remind bitcoiners that monetary sovereignty is a fundamental part of Bitcoin’s ethos. It lies at the very heart of the familiar Bitcoiner mantra, “not your keys, not your coin.” In other words, if you don’t control the private keys to yourbitcoin, you don’t really own the coin. The saying is a reminder that Bitcoin was built to give users complete control over their finances. It’s also a reminder of the potential consequences of trusting your bitcoin keys to a third party (like losing your funds in an exchange hack).

They don’t want you to be free and independent with your money,” Mayer said in thelead-up to 2019’s inaugural event. “That’s just the way it is.” The implications of being reliant on others to process, exchange and hold your cryptocurrencies aren’t immaterial. They hold acute consequences and compromises of your privacy, and will limit how you interact with your own money. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)gathers extensive personal informationon millions of people’s financial transactions, all provided by financial institutions, even when those people have not committed any crime. This year, taking custody of your keys by moving them to a personal wallet takes on an added level of significance. FinCEN hasproposed a planthat will force exchanges to comply with new know-your-customer (KYC) requirements when users try to transfer their funds to a personal wallet. Such a requirement, applicable to any transferred amount over $3,000 in value, threatens to undermine cryptocurrencies’early promiseofprivacyandself-sovereignty. (Note: FinCEN is accepting comments from the public on this issue only until Jan. 4, 2021).

Assuming control of your own private keys and becoming the first and last line of control when it comes to your crypto is even more imperative. The most basic way to exercise your monetary sovereignty is to hold your private keys in your own non-custodial bitcoin wallet. This means taking any bitcoin you own out of exchanges and custodial wallets and transferring the keys to a wallet you control. “Proof of Keys” takes the notion of self-sovereignty even further by adding the adage, “Not your node; not your rules.” The point here is that it is equally important to withdraw your keys to a bitcoin node that you are running. This way, you can perform your own validation yourself, without having to trust other people’s nodes to prove that your keys are your own.

Reasons should be obvious to anyone looking around. Most of the world spent the last year under house arrest and we learned just how willing people are to accept Orwellian takeover of all areas of our lives. The mixed economy is revealing itself more than ever to be what Steve Patterson called today "the extended State," censoring information, canceling accounts, de-personing people, all in all serving the ends of totalitarianism around the world. Scary times, so I think one is being irresponsible in not reducing their risk surface here.\n\nThe three forks of Bitcoin (BCH, BSV and BTC) make up a large portion of the strategy in achieving that goal, so obviously being able to pay with them without converting to fiat on an exchange (an attack surface) is very important.\n\nFor any kind of commerce, 9/10 I use BCH and my [Bitcoin.com](https://Bitcoin.com) wallet. It\'s awesome. You use it once and you realise big-block Bitcoin is the best payments tool ever created. BSV works great too but it doesn\'t have anywhere near the adoption that BCH has in payments and Craig\'s shenanigans make it increasingly unlikely companies are going to integrate it because who wants to deal with people like that?\n\nToday\n\nToday I had to pay with BTC. I don\'t do it too often but in this particular case there was a giftcard I needed to buy that was only available on BitRefill as far as I could tell. I paid for the $400 card + a $17.50 fee, waited an hour then drove a half hour to the store. I was in the store for another hour but when it came time to pay the transaction still hadn\'t confirmed.\n\nI waited another half hour and meanwhile I\'m on Twitter reading idiots in the Bitcoin Mini space talking about how everyone needs to buy Bitcoin (BTC) to escape companies like Robinhood censoring your economic activity and you just can\'t help but scream inside a bit because BTC literally cannot handle many more people trying to join to escape this BS. I paid roughly a 5% fee on my transaction and still can\'t buy anything at the store after several hours. It gets much, much worse from here. You\'d see confirmations taking weeks and weeks, or months, if all the economic activity around GameStop lately tried to join BTC to escape economic censorship.\n\nAnd of course the added irony is that it is 100% censorable. It\'s not just that everyone is going to have to use custodial payment options, or that fees are going to be so high only banks and Michael Saylor (who has probably never used Bitcoin) will use the chain, it\'s also that the wait period for confirmations will have a similar chilling effect that economic censorship has.\n\nI waited...and waited...but I was on a pretty tight schedule so I decided to just pay with credit card like all the Bitcoin Minimalists tell you to. I drove home and in total it\'s been nearly six hours and there\'s still no confirmation.\n\nSure, sure I could have a "lower time preference..." like the Minimalists say, and I\'m all about that, but in this case the purchase was time sensitive! Dead economic time like that really costs a lot of money and it can do a lot of other personal damage. Couldn\'t wait.\n\nConclusion\n\nSo now I\'ve got $400 on my credit card and a $400 gift card (plus fees) I have no use for that I still can\'t spend, and I\'m lucky I can afford it but keep in mind a few things:\n\n\\- The fee alone can buy people several meals in countries that need it most.\n\n\\- Most people today would just have to wait until the transaction finally did confirm because it would be too expensive to eat the cost twice by paying with a credit card after the fact. Economic activity slows accordingly.\n\n\\- Slow confirmation times are an attack opportunity for state actors. Not everyone has the luxury of having a low time preference.\n\nThey say Bitcoin isn\'t for buying coffee but if it\'s not for $400 payments either then what good is it? Interbank transfers?\n\nThis is not the revolution that got many of us so excited years ago.\n\nI said "one of my goals for 2021 is to reduce my exposure to fiat and traditional banking as much as possible," and I know I\'m not alone in this goal, but that is impossible to achieve on BTC because it has been artificially rate limited by dummies, trolls and saboteurs. Minis pushing that dream are living in a fantasy. It\'s never going to happen.\n\nLiving off of Bitcoin and the damage Core did\n\nBig-block Bitcoin is the obvious choice, but right now we\'re stuck with the unfortunate reality that BTC is the market leader and both BCH and BSV, and just about everything else, have lost significant value vs BTC, and best money needs to not only be good for payments but also storing value against other assets.\n\nIt\'s just a sad fact that it\'s hard to fully live off BCH if it\'s not yet a good store of value. But from my own experience today it\'s clearly impossible to live off BTC now. I make quite a few transactions everyday and I can\'t wait 5+ hours every time. Forget about the fees.\n\nSo looking at it all in whole, you can begin to see the damage that was really done. Bitcoin was split into a mainstream version that is entirely useless as a payments tool but has the network effect and branding that gives it the kind of price appreciation that attracts more people, and a less mainstream version that is amazing for payments but struggles against a 1000 alt coins for network and market share which makes it less useful and less threatening.\n\nHard to believe that wasn\'t intentional.....\n\nNow more than ever people are looking for ways to opt out of the current system, but we just aren\'t there yet. We would be if BTC had just raised the blocksize years ago. We\'d have a true digital store of value that was incredible for moving any amount of money around the world at fast speeds and low costs. But god I hope we get there soon before the dark suits start shilling for a Digital USD which will of course be a horrible thing for freedom everywhere and might also suck a lot of the life out of crypto for some time.\n\nKeep building BCH!', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/l7c2ey/a_personal_btc_payment_story_or_why_btc_can_never/', 'l7c2ey', [['u/kamchii', 13, '2021-01-29 00:36', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/l7c2ey/a_personal_btc_payment_story_or_why_btc_can_never/gl5x51z/', "RBF invalidates your entire argument, and it's a core foundation of BTC's design that you can't explain away.

Scarcity and crypto alone are not enough to guarantee exchange, "explainedCarstens, adding that"Bitcoinis increasingly vulnerable.\n• To know more:What is the \'death cross\' that heralds the sharp fall of Bitcoin?\nThe alsoformer governor of Banco de México, affirms thatcentral banks must control the issuance and management of digital money. Consider that they have the financial structure to guarantee thestability of the cryptocurrencies.\n“For digital money to exist, the central bank must play a fundamental role, guaranteeing the stability of the value, ensuring the elasticity of the aggregate supply of said money and overseeing the general security of the system. Such a system must not fail and cannot tolerate serious errors,”Carstenssaid.\nTheBIS managersaid that other privatestablecoinprojects, such asFacebook\'s, are more credible thanBitcoin, but need to be regulated.\n"In general, private stablecoins cannot serve as the foundation for a sound monetary system," he said.“But to remain credible, they must be strictly regulated and supervised. They must build on the foundations and confidence that the existing central banks give them and, therefore, be part of the existing financial system.\n• See Also:Bitcoin May Never Go Over $ 40,000 Again, JP Morgan Alerts\nFor now, many countries are targetingCentral Bank digital currencies (CBDC). In fact, 86% of major central banks are actively exploringCBDCs, according to a recentBISsurvey.\nCarstensindicated thatnational CBDCs wouldbe used in various ways, such as the transmission of monetary policy and the management of interest rates.

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

Why It Matters:XRP has beenunder pressure of lateafter the United States Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple, the company closely linked with the token. Denis Vinokourov, head of London-based brokerage Bequant attributed XLM’s rise partly to the fact that it is a modified fork of XRP,reportedCoinDesk. The expert also attributed the gains in XLM to the fact that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currencyrecently allowedU.S. banks to use public blockchains and dollar-backed stable coins for settlement purposes. An earlier announcement by Stellar that it was helping Ukraine develop a central bank digital currency is also turning out to be a “perfect storm” for XLM, CF Benchmark’s CEO Sui Chung told CoinDesk.

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

In the post-World War II era, the S&P delivered >10% gains during the final two months of the year just five other times (1954, 1962, 1970, 1985, and 1998). And asLPL Financial analysts observed, each of those five experiences were followed by a year of >10% returns in the market with an average gain of 18%. A big 2021 would be particularly impressive considering the run the market has already been on. Last year’s16% gainfollows a massive29% surge in 2019. DataTrek Research looked back at the history and observed that the market delivered three (or more) consecutive years of >10% five other times: 1942-1945, 1949-1952, 1963-1965, 1995-1999, and 2012-2014. While it wouldn’t be unprecedented to have another year of double-digit returns, it would be pretty unusual. And DataTrek’s Nicholas Colas has his doubts. “If we had to guesstimate, we’d say 80% of all the baseline good news expected in 2021 is already incorporated in an S&P 500 at 3,700 in late December 2020,” Colas wrote last week. As we discussed in theMorning Brief last Wednesday, the stock market at present reflects expectations for the future. And there are lots of bullish things that people are confident will happen in the coming months. “Do we really think investors haven’t figured out that corporate earnings will rebound sharply in 2021?” Colas said. “Or that they don’t believe the Federal Reserve is serious about keeping interest rates low across the curve?” If stocks are going to have another blowout year, Colas thinks we’d have to see earnings growth that is stronger than the strength already expected; a COVID-19 vaccine rollout that happens much quicker than expected; and/or more fiscal stimulus than is on its way. The truth is we really are living in unprecedented times andhistory won’t be very helpfulin predicting what’s to come. Indeed, there’s a strong argument to be made that all the perceived optimism about the future is actually far more conservative than most think, which means therisks could be tilted to the upside. All of this will become much more clear in hindsight. BySam Ro, managing editor.

Even though the story is barely a week old, insiders say Mezrich and his reps took the proposal on the market at the end of the week and by Friday night MGM had moved fast to acquire the rights.

Reddit-inspired investors bought up shares in a war on hedge funds, that have long been shorting the stocks. Shares in the video game retailer soared more than 60% in early trade in the US on Friday. GameStop and other shorted stocks face continued volatility, after broker Robinhood lifted restrictions. READ MORE: Bitcoin price surges after Elon Musk shows support GameStop has risen around 700% in the past week, while AMC Entertainment ( AMC ) and Blackberry ( BB ) also targets of Redditors experienced wild swings. On Friday, analysts said concerns over this weeks drama had rattled wider markets, despite the far more limited squeezes and levels of short interest in European stocks versus the US. The VSTOXX volatility index for European leading stocks hit its highest level since November. The UKs regulator warned that traders should make sure they are familiar with all the rules including market abuse. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said: "The FCA is aware of the situation and continues to closely monitor trading in UK markets. UK investors should take care when trading shares in highly volatile market conditions that they fully understand the risks they are taking. This applies to UK investors trading both US and UK stocks. The USs Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said: "Extreme stock price volatility has the potential to expose investors to rapid and severe losses and undermine market confidence." It warned against manipulative and illegal trading and said it would review actions that might disadvantage investors, such as the stop on trading on Thursday.

Today's Key News: ['Zurich - 2 February 2021 - 21Shares AG , the pioneering issuer of crypto Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) is launching the world’s first Polkadot ETP (ADOT SW - CH0593331561 - PDOT) "DOT ETP" on the regulated segment of the Swiss stock exchange (SIX Exchange) on Thursday February 4th, 2021 . Last Friday, Polkadot was admitted by the Index Provider to the 21Shares HODL basket ETP as second-largest constituent after Bitcoin (BCH being removed) and as such, makes it is the perfect timing to add an additional single asset ETP to the already wide range of crypto ETPs 21Shares offers. “We remain committed to the unprecedented demand we are seeing from institutional investors wanting exposure to crypto-assets and 21Shares remains ahead of the curve for delivering innovative yet simple financial products on the market. Our expertise and experience reflect the clear advantage we have over other market participants” Hany Rashwan, CEO 21Shares AG , says. “After investors purchase their first Bitcoins through our ETPs, there is a natural transition to invest in other crypto assets. We have consistently delivered a range of products over the last two years demonstrating our stronghold in the D-A-CH region. European investors are approaching us to launch new products based on other key crypto assets to enable them easy access without the need for a private key or unregulated wallets and exchanges. We benefit from trusted partners for the liquidity provision and upon continued institutional demand, we are launching the DOT ETP to give investors a safe, regulated, and easy way to obtain exposure to this exciting new blockchain technology. In the next 3 months, we aim to add 2 to 3 more innovative ETPs as well as new European exchange listings. No other issuer in this industry enjoys such a wide range of crypto ETPs and on so many European exchanges’ regulated segments.” Polkadot serves as a blockchain of blockchains, allowing otherwise independent blockchains to communicate with each other, share security features, and transfer assets freely amongst themselves. The DOT token is the native token of the Polkadot network. It serves a couple of vital roles in the system: It is designed to participate in governance decisions, including tabling proposals and voting. In addition, it is used as an electronic payment system. With its market capitalization currently standing at over $16.8 billion, the DOT token now surpasses that of XRP by over $4 billion and has attained the status of the third-largest cryptocurrency. Though the popularity of the DOT token has increased substantially over the past months, it is still not easy for non-technical users to buy and hold and interact with it. The DOT ETP lowers the barriers to entry for newcomers to the crypto asset industry and allows a much wider audience to be able to participate in its development. Story continues The launch comes in light of the recent surge in interest for this asset class. 21Shares AG has seen a 5-fold increase in demand across its suite of crypto ETPs since Q3 2020. This is based on the amount of new inflows into the ETPs. That demand came mainly from institutional investors who have preferred an institutional-grade ETP versus other structures currently available on the market. The DOT ETP will allow clients to invest, diversify through its various ETPs, and gain exposure to the multi-chain application environment that enables cross-chain interoperability on a level previously not possible via their traditional broker or bank. The ETP structure means that the product benefits from 100% physical collateralization. Each share is fully collateralized by the corresponding amount of physical DOT tokens. In addition, on exchange liquidity provision is assured by our existing ETP market markets who have supported us since inception back in November 2018. This allows even more conservative institutions to safely hold this asset class via an Exchange Traded Product. SWISS SIX : 21Shares Polkadot ETP \| CH 0593331561 \| WKN A3GPQM \| ADOT SW in USD \| German Ticker PDOT About 21Shares 21Shares makes investing in crypto assets as easy as buying shares using your conventional broker or bank. Investors can invest in cryptocurrencies using a conventional ETP structure (or tracker) easily, with total confidence and security and cost-effectively thanks to the 21Shares suite of ETPs now composed of 12 Crypto ETPs : the 21Shares Crypto Basket Index ETP (HODL:SW), 21Shares Bitcoin (ABTC:SW \| 21XB:GY), 21Shares Ethereum (AETH:SW), 21Shares XRP (AXRP:SW \| 21XX:GR), 21Shares Bitcoin Cash ETP (ABCH:SW), 21Shares Binance ETP (ABNB:SW), 21Shares Tezos ETP (AXTZ:SW), 21shares Bitcoin Suisse ETP (ABBA:SW), 21Shares Bitwise 10 ETP (KEYS:SW), Sygnum Platform Winners Index ETP (MOON:SW), 21Shares Short Bitcoin ETP (SBTC:SW \| 21XS:GY), 21Shares Polkadot ETP (ADOT:SW \| PDOT:GR).

Michael Saylor, chief executive officer of MicroStrategy Inc, in a tweet to Musk, suggested that the billionaire Tesla founder and head, make the move. "If you want to do your shareholders a $100 billion favor, convert the $TSLA balance sheet from USD to #BTC," Saylor wrote in his tweet. "Other firms on the S&P 500 would follow your lead & in time it would grow to become a $1 trillion favor." "Are such large transactions even possible?" Musk replied to Saylor. "Yes. I have purchased over $1.3 billion in #BTC in past months & would be happy to share my playbook with you offline....," Saylor tweeted. Tesla and Musk could not be reached for comment. "Every CEO faces the challenge of how to preserve & enhance shareholder value in the face of this year’s unprecedented monetary expansion," Saylor said in a message to Reuters. "Bitcoin is the best solution to the store of value problem faced by every individual, investor, & corporation on earth," Saylor said. Shares of Tesla rose to a record high on Friday in a frantic day of trading as investors geared up for the electric carmaker's much anticipated entrance into the benchmark S&P 500 index on Monday. Bitcoin rose to a high of $24,299.75 on Sunday, after passing the $20,000 milestone for the first time last week, amid surging interest from larger investors. Bitcoin was last at $23,60.98 up 2.88%.

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

The Labor Department said nonfarm payrolls decreased by 140,000 in December, the first decline in eight months, well below expectations that called for a still-weak increase of 71,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was 6.7%. Economic data during the week leading up to Friday's report indicated a stalling labor market. The greenback had been climbing from a nearly three-year low on Thursday as a rise in U.S. yields helped fuel the unwinding of bearish bets on the currency, with traders taking profits against the euro in particular. After a brief pullback after the release of the data, the greenback resumed its path higher, as expectations grew for additional stimulus measures to help buttress the economy until vaccine rollouts allow for the easing of lockdown measures. "You would've thought you would get a number like this, and you would say to yourself here comes that downward pressure or weakness into play and, lo and behold, the market says you're not right, we are going to go a little bit stronger," said JB Mackenzie, Managing Director for Futures & Forex at TD Ameritrade in Chicago. "You do have some expectations priced into the dollar of increased stimulus coming through, obviously the new presidency coming in as well, so expectations got priced in right off the bat so that is why you are seeing it holding." The dollar index last rose 0.35% at 90.117 after touching a high of 90.252, it's best level since Jan 1. U.S. President-elect Joe Biden said the jobs report shows Americans needed more immediate relief now and that taking action now would help the economy even with deficit financing, including $2,000 stimulus checks. The Democrats' Senate seat wins give Biden latitude to push through more spending, which some analysts predict will fuel risk appetite and be negative for bonds and the dollar, although a strongly bearish consensus outlook for the greenback at the end of 2020 has eased somewhat. The dollar index dropped 7% in 2020 and as much as 0.9% in the first few days of the new year on expectations of U.S. fiscal stimulus. But since hitting its lowest level since March 2018, the greenback has found some footing, climbing as much as 1.2% over two sessions. Both the euro and the pound weakened against the dollar as it gained ground. The euro was last down 0.5% to $1.2209 while sterling was last trading at $1.3562, down 0.01% on the day. Bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high of $41,802.84, and last rose 2.39% to $40,454.81, after smashing through $40,000 for the first time on Thursday. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 2:49PM (1949 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Dollar index 90.1170 89.8150 +0.35% +0.00% +90.2520 +89.6640 Euro/Dollar $1.2211 $1.2270 -0.49% -0.07% +$1.2285 +$1.2193 Dollar/Yen 103.9400 103.8300 +0.12% +0.64% +104.0850 +103.6300 Euro/Yen 126.91 127.37 -0.36% -0.01% +127.4600 +126.8200 Dollar/Swiss 0.8866 0.8855 +0.14% +0.23% +0.8884 +0.8825 Sterling/Dollar $1.3562 $1.3565 -0.01% -0.72% +$1.3636 +$1.3540 Dollar/Canadian 1.2716 1.2690 +0.21% -0.13% +1.2743 +1.2659 Aussie/Dollar $0.7747 $0.7769 -0.29% +0.70% +$0.7798 +$0.7729 Euro/Swiss 1.0825 1.0860 -0.32% +0.17% +1.0863 +1.0821 Euro/Sterling 0.9001 0.9044 -0.48% +0.72% +0.9050 +0.8994 NZ $0.7222 $0.7256 -0.47% +0.57% +$0.7280 +$0.7206 Dollar/Dollar Dollar/Norway 8.4480 8.4260 +0.34% -1.54% +8.4770 +8.3630 Euro/Norway 10.3155 10.3400 -0.24% -1.45% +10.3610 +10.2715 Dollar/Sweden 8.2348 8.1717 +0.09% +0.47% +8.2508 +8.1809 Euro/Sweden 10.0560 10.0473 +0.09% -0.20% +10.0730 +10.0358 (Additional reporting by Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss, Editing by Nick Zieminski and Alex Richardson)... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jmnolly00', "STOP PAYING FOR BRAD'S LAWYER FEES - Actual DD", 55, '2021-02-03 00:14', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/AltStreetBets/comments/lb9htd/stop_paying_for_brads_lawyer_fees_actual_dd/', "My wife is staying at her boyfriend’s place tonight because my 1INCH isn’t enough for her. So I am sitting here eating mi-goreng and thinking of how to end the misery that is XRP and Ripple.\n\nWhat is XRP?\n\n* XRP is not Ripple. XRP is a token, while Ripple is the company that develops solutions using XRP. XRP is used to transfer money over the Ripple network, either between individuals or banks.\n* Not all partners announced by Ripple use the XRP token. Only a few of the 300+ announced partners use XRP! [In fact, only 12 institutions are using or testing ](https://decrypt.co/5313/complete-ripple-partnerships-xrapid-xrp)Ripple products using XRP.\n* Unlike BTC, XRP token are not mined. Ripple has minted the entire supply of the token when the network was launched.\n* Ripple intermittently releases portions of the supply from escrow and sell on exchanges.\n\nWhy now?\n\n* Brad and his brokeback mountain cowboys have been illegally raising funds by releasing XRP from escrow (there is still 48B XRP in escrow ready to be dumped) since 2013. The SEC knows this and has been building a case against Ripple and its executives for years.\n* The Ripple leadership team DGAF about XRP holders. The SEC has evidence that multiple Ripple execs have instructed market makers to dump tokens to coincide with news releases. [Check out their shady shit here.](https://www.ft.com/content/25648f67-36bb-45f1-8e37-3dabd4c68e89)\n* Don’t listen to XRP moonbois saying that XRP is already treated as a currency by FinCen and DOJ. The SEC is responsible for regulating the securities markets and protecting investors. Once the SEC proves that XRP is a security, watch both the DOJ and FinCen flip their stance and pursue criminal charges. [Check out how the SEC will prove that XRP is a security by using the Howey test.](https://dailyhodl.com/2020/06/17/xrp-fails-howey-test-and-is-not-a-security-says-former-cftc-chairman-christopher-giancarlo/)\n* Don’t trust some random Redditor? Trust the SEC. The SEC rarely loses in court. And never one involving cryptocurrency security tokens.\n * Remember Enigma? The team settled with the SEC and are now a rank \\~150 coin (as Secret Token).\n * Remember Kin? The KIK team decided to fight the SEC and lost.\n * Both coins were in the [top 100](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180513/) and never recovered and are now barely hanging on.\n\nConclusion\n\n🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 See you on the moon with XRPDOWN.

Let me clarify one thing for you:\n\nCoins are digital assets that run on their own native Blockchain. Examples of this are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano and Polkadot.\n\nTokens are digital assets that are built on top of a Blockchain. For example, LINK is an ERC-20 token build on top off Ethereum.\n\nShares represent an ownership of a company. If Apple has 100 shares, and you own 1 share of those 100, you own 1% of Apple which makes you entitled to 1% of their Intellectual Property, Cash Reserves, Real Estate, etc.\n\nIf you have a partial ownership of Apple, you have shares.

The British pound held steady against the dollar and traded near an eight-month high versus the euro ahead of a Bank of England policy meeting that will publish findings on the feasibility of negative interest rates. Sentiment for the dollar has improved recently as progress in coronavirus vaccinations, moves by U.S. President Joe Biden to pass more fiscal stimulus, and improving economic data forced some bearish investors to give up their short positions. The dollar faces another test on Friday with the release of non-farm payrolls data, which will help confirm whether the world\'s largest economy has shrugged off a dip in growth toward the end of last year. "The dollar\'s recovery was triggered by a rebound in yields and an increase in inflation expectations," said Junichi Ishikawa, senior foreign exchange strategist at IG Securities. "This is supporting the dollar, which now has more room to rise against the euro, because the euro zone looks like it is lagging behind U.S. economic growth." Against the euro, the dollar stood at $1.2035, close to a nine-week high. The pound bought $1.3643, stabilising after a 0.2% decline in the previous session. Sterling traded at 88.19 pence per euro, near the strongest since May last year. The dollar was quoted at 105.04 yen, near its highest since mid-November.

Or in Minsk. Or Hong Kong.” The year 2020, shaped by the global pandemic and political and economic crises worldwide, made us reconsider many things.

Unstoppable, uncensorable internet money – bitcoin is catching on among protesters and dissidents around the globe. “Bitcoin wallets today are easier and more effective than those in the past,” Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer at the Human Rights Foundation, told CoinDesk. “Bitcoin’s liquidity has also grown enormously, and today there are people very happy to buy BTC from you in exchange for local currency in virtually every major urban area on Earth. For these two reasons, bitcoin is becoming a more viable tool for pro-democracy movements worldwide.” This year has also been rich for protests and civil unrest – a friendly environment for bitcoin’s libertarian, rudderless nature – but that’s not the only reason it’s gaining momentum with the civic movements around the world. Looks like the crypto industry is finally catching up with the needs of people beyond the community of tech-savvy crypto-evangelizing fans. Peoplerising against police brutality in Nigeria, thosefighting the ruling regime in Belarus, journalists in Hong Kong and theleader of the oppositionto President Vladimir Putin in Russia – they don’t necessarily believe in bitcoin’s mission, but for the mission they are on bitcoin became an essential tool. Related:Bitcoin Price Drops $1,000 in Worst Sell-Off in a Week Most of these people are not vocal bitcoin advocates, and some of them had been crypto sceptics before discovering bitcoin as something they can use. “I used to be quite far from the crypto world but this thing turned out to be useful,” said Yaroslav Likhachevsky, co-founder of BYSOL, a non-profithelping people in Belaruswho lost their jobs during the ongoing political tumult. Gladstein, of the Human Rights Foundation, told CoinDesk the epicenter of the important bitcoin activity left the Western hemisphere: “You can say that the “headquarters of bitcoin” is in Lagos now. At least, everybody there understands its value proposition. Most of Silicon Valley is hopelessly ignorant about bitcoin,” Gladstein said. Belarusians have been protesting the results of the recent presidential election since August,not recognizingthe current president Alexander Lukashenko as a legitimate winner and demanding that he quits. The regime responded withmass arrestsand brutal beatings by the police,internet shutdownsand firing of those who participated in the protests. BYSOLis a non-profit started by a group of tech entrepreneurs to help people who were fired in retaliation for showing their political stance or quit their government jobs in protest. According to the officialwebsite, BYSOL has just recently distributed more than 1.9 million euros (over $2.3 million) in donations, all via bitcoin, to a thousand people across Belarus. This did not get unnoticed by the ruling regime: Bank accounts of the BYSOL founders were soon blocked. Mikita Mikado, founder of a startup PandaDoc, who also helped BYSOL, found his employeesarrestedin September on fraud allegations. One of them, product director Viktor Kuvshinov, isstill in jail. The team soon found out that while fiat rails are good for fundraising (BYSOL raised most of its funds viaFacebook’s fundraising interface), distributing help in fiat is hard. The authorities have been monitoring BYSOL founders’ bank accounts and blocking them, so crypto provided the only lifeline the regime could not touch. Maria Koltsyna, one of the people BYSOL helped, talked to CoinDesk three months after she was fired from her job at a town hall for showing support to the opposition candidate during the election. She got $1,500 worth of BTC via a mobile crypto wallet – along with the instructions how to install and use it. She immediately put the money to work, buying a laptop and starting to learn a new job – search engine optimization (SEO). Belarus, located in Eastern Europe between Russia and Poland, is a small economy but it turned into a regionalIT hubrecently, and one of the tech startups offered Maria Koltsyna a part-time job. She just got her certificate as a SEO professional and is excited for the future that awaits. She told CoinDesk the new life feels better than the one she left behind. “When I worked in our city hall, I felt sad not seeing any results of our work, any respect or team spirit among coworkers. Now, in this company, everyone is working for the goal, supporting each other and sticking together.” Losing the old job, together with the timely help, opened the door to totally different life, Maria said. She doesn’t hate waking up and going to work in the morning anymore. “It’s like I morally broke free,” she said. One thing that makes her pessimistic, though, is the actual results of the protest movement. So far, Lukashenko is still clinging to his power, even though he occasionallyadmittedthat he might have been in power “too long.” “It really worries me to think that on New Year’s Eve I turn on my TV and see the same president again,” Koltsyna said. Koltsyna’s fears are not without foundation: Alexander Lukashenko chose to cling to his power, posing on cameraswith an assault rifleand deploying squads of riot police of thepeaceful protest marches. Yaroslav Likhachevsky, CEO of a medical tech startup Deepdee, was a volunteer observer during August’s presidential election in Belarus and reported rule violations on his polling station. Together with other tech entrepreneurs and civil activists he founded BYSOL after the success of another initiative, where the activists raised funds for the COVID relief in Belarus, while the authoritiesdeniedthe country was hit by the pandemic at all. Living between Belarus and Netherlands, where Deepdee is headquartered, Likhachevsky is now staying in Europe fearing persecution at home. But he hopes to “celebrate Christmas at home,” he told CoinDesk. He believes the collapse of the current political system in Belarus is inevitable, but admits the process can take much longer than several weeks, potentially stretching to years. Same with the crypto adoption. So far, there are few Belarusians using bitcoin, even though some of them have been introduced to it first by BYSOL, just like Maria Koltsyna. Most converted bitcoin to fiat immediately upon receiving help, Likhachevsky said. As a currency which deliberately expunges any notion of identity, supporting the transactions of dissidents has always been at the core of bitcoin. “Right now, people view crypto as just a tool. But this can change when we grow the ecosystem significantly, so that people start paying each other in crypto,” he said. To start this parallel economy, the BYSOL team is now joining forces with several other non-profits helping people who were punished for protesting. Among them areBy_help, helping people arrested during the rallies to pay court fines, and a peer-to-peer networkHonest People, where users can send money directly to the people in need, verified by volunteers. Together with BYSOL, these projects launched a mobile app, dubbedDigital Solidairty, that would aggregate the applications for help in one place, with a crypto wallet built in. People will be able to apply for help and get it in one place, right on their phones, and donate to help others, too, Likhachevsky said. Not that the other partners are excited about crypto, just as the BYSOL team wasn’t at first, Likhachevsky admits, but he’s planning to convince his colleagues to switch to crypto, too. A wake-up call came just weeks ago, when the Belarusian banksstarted blockingthe accounts of people By_help helped. “After this news, we had no choice but to move towards the digital economy of the future,” Likhachevsky said. Not to shock too many people with bitcoin’s volatility, the non-profit might switch totether, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, he added. BYSOL and others are preparing for a long game, even though they keep hoping victory is near. But the new infrastructure will be needed even if the protests reach their goal and Alexander Lukashenko quits, leaving the country for a new leader after 26 years of his authoritarian rule. “People will need help for some time after Lukashenko is gone,” Likhachekvsky said. “Because the economy will need some time to recover after it hasn’t been developing for 20 years.” Still, not too long to wait, he believes: “For good or bad, the wheel of history can not be stopped.” Read more:Belarus Nonprofit Helps Protestors With Bitcoin Grants In a different part of the world, the Feminist Coalition in Nigeria raised money to help people hurt by the police.
