Bitcoin hits ‘this’ low, but what’s the unrevealed narrative around BTC

Bitcoin’s SOPR hit its lowest point more than two years after the last one

Short-term projections for the king coin showed bearish signs despite more long-term holders remaining in profit

Bitcoin [BTC], for the first time since March 2020, hit its lowest point per Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) on 19 November. According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, it was necessary to touch upon this while considering Bitcoin’s on-chain status.

He further revealed that BTC’s SOPR stood at 0.984 at press time. The metric hitting rock bottom implied that most HODLers sold BTC at a loss.

Disney has a special place in many people’s hearts and the memories. If you breathe air and have been around in the last two centuries, you are bound to have fond memories of Disney.

No, the metaverse is not dead – it’s inevitable

Over the last few weeks, many people have asked me the same question: Is the metaverse dead? This pessimism is not surprising, considering that Meta stock has lost over half its value since formally announcing its strategic pivot to the metaverse. Adding insult to injury, last week Meta announced major layoffs across the company, increasing fear throughout the industry.

Trying my best to be objective, I see the current struggles at Meta as a reflection of its legacy business rather than an indication that its metaverse strategy is failing. I believe it will take another year or two before we can really predict whether Meta will be successful in this space, or if other large players will emerge as the true leaders of the metaverse.

That was surprising. I’d spoken to Bankman-Fried via Zoom earlier in the summer when I was working on a profile of him, so I reached out to him via DM on November 13, after news broke that his cryptocurrency exchange had collapsed, with billions in customer deposits apparently gone.

The head of the world’s largest crypto exchange says that most people shouldn’t invest right now

Even the crypto industry’s leaders are cautioning investors against buying the dip.

With cryptocurrency prices so low, it might seem like a good time for first-time buyers to invest, after industry figureheads like Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor and Tesla’s Elon Musk popularized the “buy the dip” crypto trend this year.

But the market is going through unprecedented turbulence right now after last week’s sudden implosion of FTX—one of the largest crypto exchanges—and the fall from grace of its founder and ex-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, a former hero to crypto insiders. Combined with a crypto winter that has dragged down cryptocurrency prices since last spring, the market is rife with uncertainty and low consumer confidence.

About 3,000 Bitcoins, or roughly 47% of Bitfarms’ total holdings of about 6,349 BTC, have been sold in the preceding seven days, according to a statement released on Tuesday.

The recent collapse in the value of cryptocurrencies has left a lot of investors in those digital assets in a lot of pain.

The cryptocurrency market is seeing a flash of failed and struggling projects amid a rough downturn that has left investors fearful over what’s to come.

Looking ahead, billionaire Mark Cuban sees extinction.

“In stocks and crypto, you will see companies that were sustained by cheap, easy money—but didn’t have valid business prospects—will disappear,” the Shark Tank investor and Dallas Mavericks owner told Fortune. “Like [Warren] Buffett says, ‘When the tide goes out, you get to see who is swimming naked.’”

Cryptocurrency: What it is and How it Works

What is cryptocurrency?

A cryptocurrency (or “crypto”) is a digital asset that can circulate without the need for a central monetary authority such as a government or bank. Instead, cryptocurrencies are created using cryptographic techniques that enable people to buy, sell or trade them securely.

How does cryptocurrency work?

Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies are supported by a technology known as blockchain, which maintains a tamper-resistant record of transactions and keeps track of who owns what. The creation of blockchains addressed a problem faced by previous efforts to create purely digital currencies: preventing people from making copies of their holdings and attempting to spend it twice

Three Big Reasons Crypto Is in Trouble Right Now

If you’ve detected some digital tears amid the sea of ape and punk avatars on Twitter, it’s because—not for the first time this year—cryptocurrencies are experiencing a major nosedive. Bitcoin briefly dropped below $20,000 Wednesday morning for the first time since December 2020, and other popular currencies like Ethereum have also plunged to their lowest levels in years. Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, had to halt Bitcoin withdrawals on its platform for a few hours on Tuesday. Yahoo Finance reports that on Monday, $1 billion worth of currency was liquidated from the market over a 24-hour period; overall, crypto has lost two-thirds of its market share since its November peak.

As of June 14, the Virginia-based business intelligence company holds 129,218 bitcoins, more than two-and-a-half times as much as Tesla, the next largest bitcoin owner.

Its assets under management ballooned from $11 billion in 2018 to $223 billion in 2021. And its initial public offering in April 2021 was exquisitely timed to harness bitcoin’s upward trajectory. The Observer included Coinbase in its 2022 list of the most important companies in decentralized finance.

As bearish sentiment floods financial markets, experts are weighing in on whether Bitcoin will plunge below the $20,000 mark—and what might happen if it does.

Bitcoin, now firmly in a bear market, is currently trading at just above $22,000, a remarkable fall from its all-time high price of nearly $69,000—and a drop that most observers attribute to worsening macro-economic conditions, such as rising inflation and interest rates.

It is known that digital tokens have two key characteristics: they serve as a medium of exchange and a means of accumulation. These characteristics influenced the adoption of new technology by different generations. If the older generation is more inclined toward long-term investments, they consider digital tokens to save money; the younger generation prefers to evaluate the liquidity of these tokens and the possibility of using them for a transaction.

Most young investors are confident that cryptocurrencies will make them millionaires. According to a survey conducted among 1030 US residents over 18 years old, 60% of zoomers (Generation Z) expect to become millionaires thanks to investments in cryptocurrencies. According to experts, young people are becoming more interested in crypto and rejecting traditional finance amid rising inflation and rising prices for real estate and education.

Why Nobody Knows Who Created Bitcoin

For years, many have been debating the true identity of Bitcoin's credited inventor: Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2008, the website bitcoin.org went online, and after two months, it unveiled a whitepaper detailing the concept behind a peer-to-peer electronic cash system (via Business Insider). This document also contained the name of its author, Satoshi Nakamoto, leading most to believe that he was the one and only individual human person responsible for creating the most popular cryptocurrency today. While there are undoubtedly a lot of people in the world who go by that name, there is at least one who was linked to Bitcoin based on his distinct set of skills and background.

When the stablecoin TerraUSD imploded last month, an estimated $40 billion in investor funds was erased — and so far there has been little or no accountability. Stablecoins are supposed to be less vulnerable to big swings — thus the name — but Terra suffered a spectacular collapse in a matter of days.

Explaining why people are buying and NOT buying Bitcoin [BTC]

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have been at the center of financial markets in 2022. Extreme volatile trends coupled with aggressive development in the Web 3 space have caught the eyes of many. To further study these trends, Block Inc. recently published a report detailing a survey of 9,500 people across major continents.

Block Inc. partnered with Wakefield Research to publish the report titled “Bitcoin: Knowledge and Perception.” The report talks about the retail trends of Bitcoin perception in 14 countries across the world. According to the same, most people consider Bitcoin as a means for payment, among other uses.

All Their Apes Gone

Early last year, when nonfungible tokens arose out of the crypto world to become something of a cultural phenomenon, there was nary a grinning ape in sight. But within a few months, those avatars—procedurally generated simians sporting hats and sunglasses and drawn, more or less, in the manic style of a Gorillaz video—became the face of not only NFTs, but in some ways the broader mania around cryptocurrency. Yes, Bored Ape Yacht Club avis are basically just .jpgs stored on a digital ledger, easy for anyone on the web to right-click and save. And yes, though much of the rest of the NFT market has cratered, the apes remain a status symbol, having fetched nearly $20 million just over the past week with an average price of $188,000 per ape, according the website NFT Stats.

Shiba Inu: Having run its course, are SHIB’s days numbered going forward

With Ryoshi gone, the Shiba Inu army almost delved into a panic before Shytoshi put out a goodbye post.

But amidst all these crazy names and fan clubs, SHIB as an asset is fluctuating in a tug of war between FUDers and the loyalists, all the while making no significant improvement.

Have you ever been in the process of getting intimate with someone, only to think: I could be earning crypto and/or a variety of NFTs right now? That premise lies at the core of what SEXN, a new cryptocurrency startup, is banking on as the next frontier for web3. The name “SEXN” stems from an existing lifestyle app called STEPN that theoretically allows users to earn money by walking, jogging, and just generally being active.

Warner Bros To Sell Looney Tune NFTs

This has been a big year for Warner Bros. who recently had a giant merger with Discovery. While the company is reportedly frustrated with some of their deals, they still own the rights to many major franchises like DC. One of the most classic titles associated with Warner Bros. is Looney Tunes, the animated animals that have been around since 1930. According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, the iconic franchise is getting an unexpected treatment by being turned into NFTs.

Bear Market Outlook: Public Bitcoin Mining Companies And Their Profitability

As the market inches towards what looks to be a bear market, bitcoin investors are looking towards other blockchain avenues to weather what is expected to be a long winter. Public bitcoin miners are one of the avenues that grew to prominence through the bull rallies of 2021. The growth of the value of their stocks during this time had drawn investors to them, and as the market slows down, we take a look at which of these public miners are best positioned to weather a crypto winter.

Terra collapse: Regulators eye stablecoin safeguards and capital rules for banks' crypto holdings

Global regulators plan to complete work by the end of the year on how much capital banks should hold to cover crypto assets on their books.

Financial watchdogs are trying to catch up with fast-moving developments in crypto markets, whose extreme volatility in recent weeks has caused huge losses for some users.

Last June, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed that banks set aside enough capital to cover losses on any Bitcoin holdings in full.

Can El Salvador Save Its Risky Bitcoin Gamble?

On June 7, 2021, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele announced an audacious plan: to make Bitcoin legal tender.

Anna-Cat Brigida is a reporter who covers Latin America. She lives in Honduras now, but was based in El Salvador when Bukele made his announcement. From there, Brigida says, everything went at full speed. Within 90 days El Salvador had to build its own Bitcoin wallet, install Bitcoin ATMs, and sell the country’s population on the idea of Bitcoin—an idea that had been brought there by expat crypto enthusiasts, and embraced by President Bukele. Despite the buildup, m many small businesses are still not able to accept Bitcoin payments. And now the price of Bitcoin has dropped by roughly 37 percent since September. That means El Salvador’s holdings of the cryptocurrency have plummeted.

Crypto is dead. Long live crypto

The deepening chasm between the crypto evangelists and naysayers may never have been as stark.

On Wednesday, Andreessen Horowitz, the most prominent Silicon Valley venture capital group, made a $4.5 billion bet on what it called a "golden era" for cryptocurrencies, citing "a massive wave of world-class talent" that's entered the industry in the past year.

"That's why we decided to go big," wrote Chris Dixon, a managing partner at the firm.

Jamie Dimon’s JPMorgan says bitcoin’s slide has created ‘significant upside’ for crypto investors

Bitcoin’s recent slide has left the digital token well below its fair price, giving the cryptocurrency “significant upside” now, JPMorgan Chase said in a research note this week.

The bank said bitcoin was undervalued by 28%, and put its price target for the coin, which was trading at just above $29,600 on Thursday afternoon, at $38,000 according to Markets Insider. Bitcoin fell below $26,000 earlier this month for the first time since December 2020, just as stock markets have been similarly pummeled — largely due to inflation fears.

WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann’s new crypto project sounds like a scam within a scam

Adam Neumann is back. The co-founder and former CEO of WeWork and subsequent subject of the podcast-turned-TV-series WeCrashed now says he wants to fix climate change — with crypto.

Specifically, Neumann wants to put carbon credits on the blockchain. But making carbon credits easier to buy and sell does nothing to solve the real problem with carbon credits and offsets, which is that they’re broken. More easily trading a broken product doesn’t make it any less broken.

From Argentina to Nigeria, people saw Terra as more stable than local currency. They lost everything

Valeria makes around $300 a month selling prepared food from her home in Buenos Aires. The 47-year-old was nervous about keeping the money saved in Argentine pesos because of the country’s inflation rate, which passed an annualized 50% earlier this year. So she put more than $1,000 — all her savings, plus $500 her friend lent her to buy a new refrigerator — into TerraUSD (UST), a cryptocurrency stablecoin that was advertised as being pegged 1-to-1 with the U.S. dollar.

Valeria, like others interviewed for this piece, is being identified by only her first name, to preserve her privacy.

Here's What Hackers Are Really Doing With Your Info

https://www.slashgear.com/876587/heres-what-hackers-are-really-doing-with-your-info/?utm_campaign=clip

Consumers often react to the risk of being hacked in two ways: by either being extra cautious or dismissing the risk outright by saying, "It won't happen to me." Malicious intruders and cybercriminals — sometimes referred to as black hat hackers — take advantage of this popular belief for their own benefit. ESET cybersecurity advisor and industry expert Jake Moore spoke with Digital Security about the issue of lax consumer security practices, noting that many people aren't even aware of basic tools for protecting themselves like two-factor authentication. 

This is a big problem because most people now rely on their personal gadgets and online accounts for accessing and storing sensitive information, including everything from health records to financial documents and work materials. Failing to update laptops and smartphones with the latest security fixes, using public Wi-Fi networks without a VPN, and using the same password for every online account are all habits that leave consumers vulnerable to hackers.

WAGMI or FUD – Deciphering what Ethereum investors buying 200K ETH hints at

Ethereum never seems to lose investors’ interest. Even in a bearish market, the altcoin king has managed to make its presence felt. Here, it’s worth noting that the positive sentiment of investors could play in favor of the altcoin moving higher.

Ethereum buyers are back

The trend of “buying the dip” sometimes benefits the coin’s holders to a huge extent. Well, in the case of Ethereum, people who bought about $54 million worth of ETH in the last 20 days can reap benefits in the days to come. However, it’s worth pointing out that before 25 February, about 500k ETH worth $1.3 billion approximately was sold back into the market.

Yes, Bitcoin’s price rallied by 9.6% today, but looks can be deceiving. Why? Well, because despite the allure of riding a bull wave, the daily volume seems to be down in the dumps. In fact, the volume did not cross the 50-day moving average. Although the daily candlestick has a few more hours before it closes, it has not even surpassed yesterday’s value – A day during which Bitcoin’s price returned only 1.95% gains at the close.

Introducing CRYPTOLAND, Motherboard's New Documentary Series About All Things Crypto

Motherboard has been trying to make a documentary about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency off and on for nearly a decade, almost as long as Bitcoin itself has been around. We filmed at Bitcoin 2013, back when one bitcoin was worth $118 and was primarily used for buying drugs on Silk Road. But we never really did anything with it. Other projects came up, staff who worked on it left the company (Alec Liu, the host of the documentary, was so excited by what he saw at the conference that he left journalism for the crypto industry), and the world of Bitcoin changed so often and so much that it soon felt like a documentary would have to encompass far more than a buzzy conference to meaningfully reckon with what cryptocurrency is doing to our culture, politics, economies, society, the planet, and the physical infrastructure of our world.

In midday trading, Bitcoin rose 9.1 per cent to $42,280 (€38,184), on track for its largest percentage gain since February 28.

US president Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order on cryptocurrency this week that will mark the first step toward regulating how digital currency is traded.

The move comes as administration officials have raised concerns in recent weeks about Russia’s use of cryptocurrency to evade the impact of crushing sanctions in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

The sanctions have sent the rouble to historic lows and have closed the country's stock market.

Two people familiar with the process said the executive order on cryptocurrency was expected to be issued this week and it had been in the works long before the war.

Axie Infinity: In demand, yes, but is it delivering well enough

Axie Infinity brought GameFi and NFTs to prominence with its play-to-earn model. Ergo, it is not surprising that to date, it stands to be the most sought-after NFT.

Alas, in a market where NFTs are becoming the next big thing, can Axie continue to keep its crown?

Axie Infinity is still at #1

According to a research report from Design Bundles, Axie Infinity was the most searched NFT on Google over a month.

Ukraine Is Buying Bulletproof Vests and Night-Vision Goggles Using Crypto

Some of Ukraine’s weapons suppliers are accepting payments directly in crypto, a senior official told CoinDesk Monday.

Ukraine “weaponized” crypto after Russia invaded the European nation at the end of February, raising over $60 million in bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and other cryptocurrencies and immediately spending some of these funds on fuel, food and other supplies – including bulletproof vests for soldiers.

Ukraine’s de facto crypto ministry, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, is facilitating the buying of military equipment based on the demands of the Ministry of Defense, said Alex Bornyakov, the deputy minister at the ministry. The operation involves Kuna, the Ukrainian exchange that set up the donation addresses; two ministries; five signatories and several other government officials as key players.

With Russia hit by sanctions and being cut from the SWIFT system, many crypto watchers in the past few days have been talking about XRP’s place in the banking world, and the legal tangle of SEC vs Ripple.

Verdict to come in a SECond?

During an interview on Fox Business news, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse shared his thoughts on the progress of the SEC vs Ripple Labs case. It has been a hectic few weeks of unsealed memos, and despite the ongoing war, the XRP community was eager to know whether things were looking up for the controversial crypto asset.

Bitcoin donations to the Ukrainian military are soaring as Russia invades

Bitcoin donations to the Ukrainian army are soaring after Moscow launched a large-scale offensive against Ukraine early Thursday.

New data from blockchain analytics firm Elliptic shows that over a 12-hour window, nearly $400,000 in bitcoin was donated to Come Back Alive, a Ukrainian NGO providing support to Ukraine’s armed forces.

Ukraine Central Bank Suspends Use of Electronic Money Following Russian Invasion

The National Bank of Ukraine announced a range of resolutions on Thursday in connection with martial law now throughout the country.

Among them, the bank ordered "to suspend e-money issuers, replenish e-wallets with e-money, and distribute e-money to e-money issuing banks."

In this context, e-money most likely refers to fiat currency in digital form, such as that held in a PayPal account or a cash app digital bank.

It is unclear whether this extends to crypto or other digital currencies. Last year, the central bank was granted permission to issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

The orders also suspend the foreign exchange market, limit withdrawals from consumers' bank accounts and forbid the withdrawal of foreign currency from customer accounts.

On Wednesday evening, Buterin wrote that he was “very upset by Putin’s decision” to abandon peaceful solutions in Russia’s dispute with Ukraine and to “start a war instead.”

“This is a crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people,” he wrote. “I want to wish everyone safety and security, even though I know there won’t be.”

XRP Lawsuit: ‘There’s a pretty good chance SEC will lose all merits’

Ever since the US Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple Labs over selling unregistered securities in the form of their cryptocurrency XRP, the financial community has remained divided over the credibility of the watchdog’s allegations. The case has since 2020 seen a number of twists and turns, even as any substantial rulings over the same are yet to be made.

However, the most recent developments have suggested that Ripple might be on the winning side for now, as it won a number of key motions that could be critical in proving its fair motion defense. Namely, the court ruled in favor of Ripple last week to unseal two key documents that the company claims will shed light on how the agency classified XRP back in 2012 when it first came into circulation.

Facebook recently rebranded itself as Meta, and the advertisement, which included a photo of Zuckerberg in front of a background of purple polygons, claimed to offer a chance for users to invest in a new Meta cryptocurrency.

Another ad, posted around the same time and also promoted on Facebook, was tied to a page called “Metaverse” and similarly offered a shot at a presale of the upcoming “Meta token,” saying “the thrilling digital future has arrived.” The ads both included Meta’s new logo, an infinity sign.

Experts weigh in on how vulnerable Bitcoin actually is

Bitcoin has suffered a lot over the past two weeks. It traded in the red early on 23 February thanks to the uncertainty around the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Russia’s actions towards Ukraine have prompted the United States and Europe to vow sanctions. This has cast a long shadow over global markets, including cryptocurrencies.

In fact, as a recent article highlighted, BTC has faced several headwinds of late. These have ranged from dwindling demand on-chain to over 4.7M BTC held at an unrealized loss.

$8 or $58? 3rd or 7th? – What the ‘experts’ say about where Cardano will go

In 2021, Cardano was the third-biggest crypto by market cap, breathing down Ethereum’s neck. However, 2022 saw it in seventh place. To that end, Finder’s panel of fintech experts came together to predict ADA’s future price performance. The final estimate was well worth a read.

A full deck of Cardano

To make a long story short, the target is for ADA to hit $2.79 by the end of 2022. It might not remind investors of Solana’s dazzling rise to $100 and beyond, but is still a 168% rally.

Crypto Capital Gains and Tax Rates 2022

According to an IRS notice published in 2014, cryptocurrencies including NFTs are classified as “property” meaning they are liable to a capital gains tax similar to stocks or “real” property.

A capital gain occurs if you sell a crypto for more than your initial investment. For instance, if you buy one bitcoin for $20,000 and sell it for $50,000, you have made $30,000 of taxable gains. In other words, if you make profit from the sale of a crypto or a non-fungible token (NFT), you trigger a taxable event in the eyes of the IRS.

Whales are counting sheep?

Bitcoin whales with a balance of between 100 and 100,000 BTCs have not significantly risen or fallen this month. Curiously, this was in spite of drastic price changes.

In fact, one crypto-analyst suggested that the whales might be waiting for a sale so as to snap up the king coin at an even lower price. In light of Bitcoin falling below $34,000 in late January, this might not be a far-fetched idea.

While unfortunately, a specific date for the Merge is yet to be disclosed, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has now said that “hopefully we’re gonna be merging pretty soon.”

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the afternoon resurgence in sell-side pressure dropped the price of Bitcoin to a daily low at $40,081 as bulls frantically regroup and attempt to prevent a slide below $40,000.

The regulator, responsible for handling licenses for crypto firms, reportedly never received an application from Binance allowing the exchange to do business in Israel.

In a recent interview with Fox Business, Gensler again put forward his perspective given the growing uncertainty on the regulatory front. Especially since different applicants or funds including Grayscale, VanEck, etc. haven’t satisfied the requirements of the regulatory watchdogs.

Crypto may have started out as a discreet decentralized economy, but now that the nearly $2 trillion sector has gone mainstream enough to occupy coveted Super Bowl ad space, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is well clued in.

The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as intangible property for tax purposes, which means the profits you make from selling virtual currency are subject to capital gains taxes. This holds true whether you bought bitcoin or altcoins on a crypto exchange like Coinbase, or simply used an app like Venmo or PayPal to buy and use cryptocurrency.

Global and macroeconomic concerns ranging from rising inflation rates in the United States to the prospect of Russia invading Ukraine continue to spark volatility in financial markets.

To the surprise of many analysts, the mood in the cryptocurrency market shifted in a positive direction on Feb. 15 after Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to $44,500 and Ether (ETH) regained support at $3,100.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after bouncing off a low of $2,826 in the early trading hours on Feb. 15, the price of Ether rallied 11.4% to a daily high of $3,148.

Larry David's Super Bowl ad is really dividing people

As well as the epic half time shows and the actual football itself, the other thing the Super Bowl is best known for is probably the ads.

Every year, some of the biggest stars get paid presumably ridiculous amounts to pop up in exclusive commercials during the event, which regularly attracts over 100 million viewers.

Super Bowl commercials have always been an intrinsic part of the annual National Football League (NFL) championship, and for businesses, it’s a fair sign of making it in the real world. This year, however, marked a new milestone for the crypto community as FTX, eToro, Crypto.com and Coinbase debuted crypto ads during Super Bowl 2022.

With rising demand in crypto — recently fueled by nonfungible tokens, meme tokens and the metaverse — Super Bowl crypto ads stole the limelight from traditional businesses on social media platforms such as Twitter. Let’s gauge the advertisements and echo the feelings expressed by the community.

How far might the ‘Ethereum-killer’ tag go to benefit retail SOL buyers in 2022

The Coronavirus pandemic and paying the gas fee on the Ethereum blockchain are two things that are poles apart. However, the struggle to overcome both problems has been the same. And, that’s exactly where Solana enters the picture. In fact, crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried called Solana, the next big blockchain of 2022.

Notably, Solana promises to deliver the best of Ethereum but faster and at a fraction of the cost. However, it is important to note that 2021 saw a significant uptick in meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu too. While these coins got a lot of attention and coverage, Solana was comparatively quite under the radar.

It’s not been a good year for Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Less than three months ago, with BTC trading close to $69,000 on the charts, many expected the crypto to hit $100k soon. Alas, that didn’t happen. In fact, Bitcoin dipped and depreciated. And, did so very significantly.

While the last 10-14 days have seen BTC recover from its near-term lows close to $32,000, the cryptocurrency is still well away from touching its heights from a few months ago.

As Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate, crypto miners are likely to continue to see volatility. However, Marathon’s unique business model has fans of crypto-mining acting bullishly.

The race to integrate cryptocurrencies into the global banking network is real. The digital asset marketplace recently reclaimed or rather surpassed the $2 trillion mark. The sheer valuation was one of the reasons for the unprecedented traction. A report published by KPMG, one of the ‘Big Four’ accounting organizations had published a report to highlight the same.

According to the company’s biannual Pulse of Fintech report, investment in crypto and blockchain surged to $30 billion in 2021. In 2018 the figure stood at $8.2 billion, with 2019 recording a figure of $5.6 billion and $5.5 billion in 2020.

In fact, towards the end of 2021, the Metaverse cryptocurrencies were among the best performers. Some of them generated profits of over 10,000% for the year. With many positive projections surrounding the Metaverse, it appears that Metaverse cryptocurrencies could outperform the market this year.

Bitcoin took quite a ride from its all-time high of over $69,000 to its recent low of $34,000. This has given way to the million-dollar question – What is affecting Bitcoin’s price movements?

The correlation has become more pronounced with bitcoin and the wider crypto market now being strongly correlated with technology stocks because of “legacy market capital entering the fold,” Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy, wrote in the note on Friday.

What is a rug pull in cryptocurrency?

A rug pull is a type of crypto scam that occurs when a team pumps their project’s token before disappearing with the funds, leaving their investors with a valueless asset.

Rug pulls happen when fraudulent developers create a new crypto token, pump up the price and then pull as much value out of them as possible before abandoning them as their price drops to zero. Rug pulls are a type of exit scam and a decentralized finance (DeFi) exploit.

Before learning how to spot a rug pull in crypto and why crypto rug pulls happen, it helps to understand the three different types of rug pulls.

Such attacks are an "important revenue source" for Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile programme, they said.

In fact, even the Executive directors urged El Salvador to detach Bitcoin’s status as legal tender in the country. What’s more, in a recent release, the IMF insisted that El Salvador dissolve its $150-million trust fund incorporated at the time of its policy decision.

Don’t worry, your favorite indie band didn’t get into selling NFTs overnight. A new NFT platform called HitPiece has caught heat from a number of musicians — largely indie bands — for selling NFTs of their music without permission. Per a description on its website that has since been taken down, “HitPiece lets fans collect NFTs of your favorite songs.” What that seemed to mean in practice was music was available on HitPiece, like a streaming service, to be turned into NFTs without consent from musicians. (To backtrack: An NFT, or nonfungible token, is a unique electronic thing that exists on the blockchain, which is what also powers cryptocurrency.) As NFTs have gained traction in the music and art communities over the past several months, many have criticized them for negatively impacting the environment via the blockchain and just not making sense.

Death knell for Mark Zuckerberg's crypto dreams after regulators block Meta's Diem

A once-ambitious but now faltering Facebook-backed digital currency project known as Diem is dead, its assets sold to bank holding company Silvergate Capital.

Silvergate and the Diem Association announced the sale on Tuesday. Meta, which owns Facebook, did not have a comment.

A Facebook spokesperson, however, pointed to tweets by Stephane Kasriel, head of Meta's cryptocurrency wallet Novi, that said the decision to sell was not made by Meta, but by the Diem Association.

"We hope that the Association’s sale of their assets to @silvergatebank will allow the project’s vision to live on. Because we still believe in the shared financial inclusion mission," Kasriel wrote.

Bitcoin has lost about 45% of its value from its record high in November, but it didn’t dampen some retail investors’ interests, as they expect the price to bounce back and are “buying the dip,” a new study finds.

Roughly 21% of U.S. adults surveyed by data intelligence provider Morning Consult were considering buying bitcoin BTCUSD, -0.78% as of Jan. 24, when the cryptocurrency traded at as low as $32,983, according to a Tuesday report. The rate is unchanged from that at the beginning of November, when bitcoin climbed to its all-time high of $68,991, the report shows.

“Habanero” Jack Dorsey did some spicy tweets last night.

The Twitter founder and Block CEO tweeted out some thoughts on crypto and “Web3” that managed to exasperate some of the idea’s biggest boosters. This wasn’t the kind of Web3 criticism we’ve seen time and again — Dorsey didn’t come at them with a “right-clicker mentality” or anything so trivial. Instead, Dorsey went for the metaphorical jugular: he said users don’t actually own Web3, which is a movement that prides itself on decentralization and community.

In reality, Dorsey said, it’s big venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz, which has dedicated more than $3 billion to investments in the space (and has made investments in several dozen crypto companies, including OpenSea and CryptoKitties / NBA Top Shot creator Dapper Labs), that will control these new web systems.

The NFT Ecosystem Is a Complete Disaster

For the past year, as NFTs have breached spectacular and speculative heights, we’ve seen a growing amount of skepticism. The most recent wave was touched off by a 138-minute video essay by Canadian media critic Dan Olson that condemned NFTs and other blockchain-based technologies as fundamentally broken and unworkable. In just over a week, it’s garnered more than three million views on YouTube. Regardless of your perspective on the video, it’s hard to deny that there is a lot of bullshit percolating when it comes to NFTs. Even hardcore Bitcoiners agree. And despite what the loudest NFT boosters insist, the beatings have continued and morale has not improved.

Bitcoin, Ethereum sentiments are in the fear zone, but here’s what’s really going on

It wasn’t a very happy start of the year for most bulls as the market resembled a slaughterhouse, and crash after crash affected investors’ spirits. Feelings might not seem important in the crypto-sector, but they can often point at changing fortunes. So, it’s time to take a look at the top two crypto-assets.

Ethereum Suffers Worst Month in Nearly 2 Years, SOL Falls Even Harder

Ether (ETH), the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, has suffered its biggest monthly price decline since March 2020, tumbling alongside bitcoin in one of worst-ever starts to a year in cryptocurrency markets.

Ether is down 31% in January, while bitcoin (BTC) has fallen 22%.

The sell-off also claimed some of the hottest tokens from 2021, in several cases vaporizing half of their market value, or more. Terra’s LUNA has declined 50% in January, while Solana’s SOL has dropped 49% and Avalanche’s AVAX has lost 42%.

The increase in crypto-adoption across the globe has irked some organizations. The latest to express its reservations about the industry is the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The organization has called for greater regulation of crypto-markets that would also incorporate child safety and protection.

In its “Prospects for children in 2022” report, UNICEF highlighted several financial and exploitative threats posed by cryptocurrencies. While examining the impact of global financial trends on the underage population, the organization noted that the heightened adoption of cryptocurrencies is “demonstrating both the promise of greater financial inclusion and the need for new child safeguards.”

Bitcoin, Ethereum and here’s what else are the top picks of the ultra-rich

The crypto-market has shed almost a trillion dollars in cumulative market cap amid its recent weakness. Meanwhile, Bitcoin remains down by almost 45% in value since its record high in November 2021.

1 billion crypto-investors

Alas, despite the mayhem, trading-platform Crypto.com has estimated that 1 billion people will likely invest in the asset class by the end of 2022.

With that being said, inflation could one of the biggest drivers that lead to crypto-adoption. Especially since ultra-high net worth individuals have been turning to crypto to beat the now permanent-looking inflation.

In a recent interview, Mashinsky said that Bitcoin could follow past precedents and surge by around four times over current levels, after testing the critical support level.

“If Bitcoin does what it did last time, it should go at least 300% up from here. Three multiplied by $35,000 puts us just over $100,000. My projection for this year stays what I said late last year. And it’s $140,000 to $160,000 before the end of this year,” he noted.

Ethereum, the largest altcoin and Bitcoin had battled it out for the number one and two spots in the market cap rankings.

Here’s how much Bitcoin may be worth by the end of this decade

All of the cryptocurrency industry appears to be in a panic after $100 million were liquidated in around 24 hours. This has caused Bitcoin‘s price to dip 3.6% during this time, adding on to the 28% it has lost in the entire past month.

BTC to cross $1 million?

While many are fearful of a bull cycle engulfing the market, researchers at Ark Invest have painted a rather bullish narrative for the king coin going forward. In a report published earlier this week, it was predicted that it could in fact exceed a price valuation of $1 million by the end of the decade, a long shot from its current price tag of around $36,000.

The IMF warns El Salvador to drop Bitcoin as a legal currency

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has urged El Salvador to drop Bitcoin as legal tender and better regulate the digital wallet the government created and promoted to its citizens.

The South American country became the first in the world to adopt the cryptocurrency as legal tender in September last year.

However, the IMF has urged “the authorities to narrow the scope of the Bitcoin law by removing Bitcoin's legal tender status," it said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The adoption of a cryptocurrency as legal tender, however, entails large risks for financial and market integrity, financial stability and consumer protection," It added.

Everything You Want To Know About NFTs, But Are Embarrassed To Ask, From The ‘King Of NFTs’

In 2017, when William Quigley started an NFT platform, he wasn’t known as the “King of NFTs.” Instead, his Wall Street and tech friends wondered, with a little concern, what he was doing. In the early days, the Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) had around 400k members. It was decent, but not record setting.

Fast forward to 2021 and everything has changed. A confluence of events, including the pandemic sending everyone home and having extra free time, advancements in technology, the rise of public interest in cryptocurrencies, trading meme stocks online and a more comfortable feeling for new technologies, led to the boom in the NFT market. WAX rapidly grew to over 10 million members who are buying, collecting, selling and trading NFTs.

Quantum Computers Will Crack Bitcoin Algorithm; Researchers Say Changes Are Needed

Quantum researchers at the University of Sussex have recently calculated the time needed for a quantum computer to crack Bitcoin’s

BTC

 code.

What happened: Mark Webber and his team of quantum scientists have been investigating Bitcoin’s SHA-256 coding algorithm that was first used in the early 2000s by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).

According to the scientists, the world's most powerful quantum computer, IBM’s supercomputer with 127 qubits, is currently far from cracking the SHA-256 algorithm. Their calculations show that a 317 million qubit computer would need at least one hour to break Bitcoin’s encryption, but to execute a 10-minute hack, a 1.9 billion qubit quantum computer would be required.

How to easily set up a wallet for cryptocurrency and NFTs with MetaMask

If you want to experience a metaverse, buy NFTs, or trade in cryptocurrency, it’s essential to have a wallet that’s easy to create and use.

MetaMask is a pretty popular choice these days. It’s free to use, and is available as a desktop browser extension and a mobile app. You can sign up to create a wallet to store your digital assets in just a few seconds, and it will also let you connect like the OpenSea NFT marketplace in a blink. Think of it as a single sign-in function — just like sign-in with Google, Apple, or Facebook.

67% of ETH holders still profitable but here’s what’s putting pressure on the price

Ethereum, which has managed a return on investment (ROI) of 8700%, has cultivated a lot of dampened market sentiments lately. In fact, following the market’s downfall, Ethereum has lost over 51% of its value since its ATH of $4,878.26 three months ago.

A profitable majority

And yet, data by IntoTheBlock seems to suggest that 67% of Ethereum holders are In the Money. This essentially means that the token is profitable for these investors at recent levels.

2% of all holders are At the Money level or breaking even without any profit or loss. On the contrary, the rest of the holders are suffering losses as the current price is less than the average purchase cost for these holders.

Scammers Exploit OpenSea Flaw to Buy NFTs at Rock-Bottom Prices

Scammers appear to be leveraging an issue with NFT marketplace OpenSea to purchase valuable NFTs at a much lower price than their current listing.

Multiple researchers and developers have laid out the ongoing issue, with some indicating that individual NFTs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars have been sourced using the design flaw.

The issue came to light when NFT collector "TBALLER" tweeted that their valuable Bored Ape #9991 sold for the bargain-bin price of .77 ETH, or $1,775 early on Monday morning. "Yooo guys! Idk what just happened by why did my ape just sell for .77?????" they tweeted. Almost immediately, the buyer, who goes by "jpegdegenlove," resold the ape NFT for 84.2 ETH, or nearly $200,000.

Bitcoin continued to plunge on Saturday following Friday’s cryptocurrency market crash, dropping 5.6 per cent to sit below the $35,000 (€30,851) threshold for the first time since August.

The world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency slipped to $34,448.94 (€30,365.53) at 7.10 PM CET on Saturday, losing $1,878.27 (€1,655.63) from its previous close.

2022 Will Be the Year When NFTs Explode Into Hyperspace. Here Are Some Projects To Look Out For

Back in 2020 if somebody were to claim that the nonfungible token (NFT) market would scale up to the heights it currently sits atop today, it would not be an unreasonable reaction to completely brush aside the notion. However, fast forward to 2022, and over the course of the last 12 odd months, conservative estimates suggest that this burgeoning sector has been able to accrue more than $40 billion in value!

From elite athletes to artists to page 3 celebrities — and pretty much everyone else in between — NFTs seems to have piqued the interest of everyone across the globe. What’s even more interesting is that a number of studies clearly show that this rapidly evolving space is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) value of 185.0% over the course of the next five years. What this suggests is that we may just be getting started in terms of how much financial potential this space actually possesses.

The problem for Beckham: that bitcoin BTCUSD, -2.06% prices have been plummeting.

Cryptocurrencies including bitcoin and ethereum ETHUSD, -2.22% extended their ongoing slide on Monday. Ether was down 8% over the past 24 hours, and bitcoin prices fell below $35,000, including a 4% drop in the past 24 hours.

Russian tech and political executives denounce crypto ban proposal

Russia’s recent ban on crypto has drawn criticism from a number of big names, including Alexei Navalny’s chief of staff Leonid Volkov, and Telegram founder Pavel Durov.

On Jan. 20, Russia’s Central Bank published a report proposing a blanket ban on domestic crypto trading and mining. The report stated that the risks of crypto are “much higher for emerging markets, including Russia.”

However, it appears that this proposed ban isn’t universally accepted in the former Soviet Union. A Jan. 22 post by the Telegram founder, Pavel Durov stated that the proposed ban on crypto would “destroy a number of sectors of the high-tech economy.”

Elon Musk's 3-Word Tweet Sums Up What Everyone Is Already Thinking About Web3NFTs are getting a lot of attention. Maybe too much attention.

On Thursday, Twitter announced that people who pay for Twitter Blue, a $3 per month subscription, would be able to change their profile picture to a non-fungible token (NFT). Doing so would change the shape of your photo from a circle to a hexagon to identify that you had in fact linked an NFT wallet, and didn't just upload some random pixelated photo of a monkey.

In response, Elon Musk--who is never shy about saying what he's thinking--tweeted three words that I think sum up what almost everyone is already thinking about Web3.0: "This is annoying."

However, is this truly the best time to buy the dip? According to journalist Colin Wu’s survey of Chinese investors, a significant majority planned to buy Bitcoin over Ethereum during the dip.

Crypto crash: Bitcoin losses nearly half its value and extends losses as market fails to rally

Bitcoin continued to plunge on Saturday following Friday’s cryptocurrency market crash, dropping 5.6 per cent to sit below the $35,000 (€30,851) threshold for the first time since August.

The world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency slipped to $34,448.94 (€30,365.53) at 7.10 PM CET on Saturday, losing $1,878.27 (€1,655.63) from its previous close.

Cryptocurrencies across the board continued to slide in value, with indexes a sea of red still on Sunday.

The price of Bitcoin was, however, up 1.8 per cent from the year's low of $34,000 (€29,970). It’s also plummeted over 40 per cent since its historic high in November when its value reached $68,992 (€60,895.79).

Biden Administration to Release Executive Order on Crypto as Early as February: Report

The directive would place the White House in a central role overseeing efforts to set policies and regulate digital assets, Bloomberg reported.

Federal agencies have already been studying or providing regulatory guidance around the digital asset sector for years.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), SEC and CFTC have issued guidance letters, informal statements and public rulemaking efforts to direct how different aspects of the crypto industry should comply with federal law. But these efforts have not been coordinated in a single document or by one agency.

Biden Administration senior officials have met multiple times to discuss the directive, which will be presented to the president in the next few weeks, according to Bloomberg.

Ethereum May Be Losing Out To Competitors Due To High Gas Fees, Says JPMorgan

JPMorgan has piled on the ethereum high gas fee issue as a reason why it could end up losing out to competitors like Solana and Cardano. These other projects past significantly fewer transaction fees than ethereum, being one of the major pull points for investors. Due to this, it is increasingly losing users to other platforms who have found they can carry out DeFi activities for much lower fees.

Ethereum Fees Are Too High

In a recent research note, JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou explained that the high fees associated with using the ethereum blockchain have some major drawbacks for the network. Networks with smart contracts capability are in what is essentially an arms race to be the leading platform for decentralized finance (DeFi). Although ethereum remains in the lead, its high gas fees continue to set the network back.

Market strategist downgrades BTC price target to $17k but expects slight near term surge

Gareth Soloway, the chief market strategist at InTheMoneyStocks.com, has said the ongoing Bitcoin volatility might see the asset correct to below $20,000 but maintains the cryptocurrency’s long-term prospects remain bullish.

Speaking to Kitco News, Soloway stated that the price will likely hit $17,000 but acknowledged that the value might slightly surge to about $46,000 in the near term, but the position won’t hold for long. 

He believes the correction is a consequence of the general market de-leveraging that has spilt over to Bitcoin.

Crypto.com Finally Acknowledges $34 Million Stolen by Hackers

Trading platform Crypto.com lost about $34 million worth of cryptocurrency in a hack on Monday, according to a new blog post by the company published overnight. The company had previously declined to say much about the hack, which forced users to stop withdrawals for most of the day, and only reassured customers they wouldn’t lose any money.

Hackers made off with 4,836.26 ethereum, 443.93 bitcoin, and approximately $66,200 in other crypto coins from precisely 483 users, according to the company. Crypto.com, which has about 10 million users, halted all withdrawals on Monday for about 14 hours after “suspicious activity” was detected, and forced all users to reset their two-factor authentication methods.

Student Becomes a Millionaire After Turning Selfies Into NFTs as a Joke

A 22-year-old Indonesian college student has become a millionaire overnight after turning his collection of daily selfies into non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as a joke.

A Daily Selfie Since 2017

Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozali, a computer science student from Semarang, Central Java, has had a habit of shooting a selfie a day in front of his computer for the past four years, starting from when he was 18 years old. While he has missed some days, his album now contains nearly 1,000 selfies, which he initially shot to create a passage-of-time timelapse in the style popularized by Noah Kalina’s everyday project.

An Entire Country Switched to Bitcoin and Now Its Economy Is Floundering

Months after El Salvador announced that it would accept bitcoin as legal tender, the country has found itself on the verge of economic collapse yet again.

The country’s president Nayib Bukele made waves last year when he announced that the nation would accept the token for use at stores and banks. The self-described “CEO of El Salvador” even announced plans to build a “Bitcoin City“ to turn the country into “the financial center of the world.”

However, it turns out that forcing your nation’s banks and stores to accept a currency large swaths of the population are unfamiliar with and don’t trust is a good way to tank your economy, according to a castigating report by Fortune.

Is it almost the end of Bitcoin bottom fishing

$40,000 has been strong support for Bitcoin in the past month, with the 7-day lowest dipping close to $40,600 on CoinGecko. Well, the interesting question here is- With Bitcoin’s recovery to $43,200 at press time, will it be soon time to cease bottom fishing?

Bloomberg cited an analysis by Genesis Global Trading that noted Bitcoin looks stable on the back of recent options activity. It essentially indicates the possibility of an upside. Apart from that, the analyst noted that the difference in ‘implied volatility of bullish and bearish bets’ is now close to zero. Revealing demand for more call options over put options, which is a bullish indicator.

Notably, the Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVIN), which measures the implied volatility of Bitcoin, showed a downtrend in the chart.

'Cryptoland:' A Quick Dive Into Crypto Enthusiasts' Idea Of Utopia

Another year, another eye-rolling venture from people who jump on every get-rich-quick scam rather than actually do something environmentally sustainable or just, you know, not wholly for themselves.

Buying the dip has now become a ritual as soon as Bitcoin’s price crashes, and there’s a lot banking on bringing home the king coin when it’s at its lowest point. Looking at the coin crashes in December and January, an investor might be wondering if the trend is still on. Data from a Santiment report sheds light on what might really be going on.

Why the metaverse will have you hooked onto a blockchain

You may think the metaverse will be a bunch of interconnected virtual spaces – the world wide web but accessed through virtual reality. This is largely correct, but there is also a fundamental but slightly more cryptic side to the metaverse that will set it apart from today’s internet: the blockchain.

In the beginning, Web 1.0 was the information superhighway of connected computers and servers that you could search, explore and inhabit, usually through a centralized company’s platform – for example, AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft and Google. Around the turn of the millennium, Web 2.0 came to be characterized by social networking sites, blogging and the monetization of user data for advertising by the centralized gatekeepers to “free” social media platforms, including Facebook, SnapChat, Twitter and TikTok.

6 Cryptos You Can Mine at Home in 2022

Cryptocurrency mining is incredibly expensive. It requires you to spend thousands in buying expensive GPUs (or ASICs), arranging them together, and spending more to buy power supplies and other computer components. However, not all cryptocurrencies require this much hashing power.

At its core, mining is all about solving complex mathematical problems. For every complex equation solved, miners receive a small "fee" for their efforts. Mining is important as it helps verify transactions on the blockchain. However, the concept of diminishing marginal returns means that miners get paid less and less over time. However, if you have a semi-decent GPU or better, you can mine too!

Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, who runs the crypto exchange Binance, has joined the ranks of the world's top billionaires, with an estimated net worth of at least $96 billion, according to new calculations from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index published Monday.

Zhao's projected fortune now rivals that of Oracle (ORCL) founder Larry Ellison and surpasses that of Mukesh Ambani, the Indian tycoon whose fortune has also soared over the last two years.

A beginner's guide to bitcoin and cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency reached a peak in 2021. Bitcoin once again notched an all-time high valuation, surpassing $65,000 (earlier in the year, it had dipped below $30,000). And this year bitcoin -- and cryptocurrency in general -- penetrated deeply into financial services as well as the culture, gaining an expanding foothold in popular art, commerce and other corners of the mainstream.

If you're looking for a primer on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, you're in the right place. We'll take a look at the basics -- what bitcoin is, where it comes from and how to buy it -- as well as a range of other topics including valuation, legality and its practical applications.

Deborah Placet had no idea how to access her husband’s cryptocurrency and other digital accounts after his unexpected death at age 52. “The funny thing is, we’re in the [advisory] business,” says Placet, managing partner of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based RJP Estate Planning.

Placet turned to IT forensic experts to help her access accounts including her husband’s IRA. “It’s taken a lot of work and a lot of effort,” she relays. After nearly three years, however, she reports that she still has not gained access to her late husband’s Bitcoin account. This year, Bitcoin reached an all-time high price of nearly $69,000 per coin.

The Bitcoin market finally seems to have regained its footing, following the volatile deleveraging event last week as BTC’s price finally retested the $48,800 mark. Over the last week, Bitcoin prices were largely range-bound, between the lower $45,600, and higher $51,000 mark.

As BTC finally retested the $48,850 mark, the anticipation of a bullish turn increased in the market but was it too soon to expect that?

Bitcoin & Ethereum Keep Falling. Is Now The Time To Buy The Dip?

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are both on a major downward slide.

Bitcoin is down over 32.4% from its new all-time high on November 10 and is – at the time of writing – trading for US $46,756 (AU $65,828).

Ethereum has followed suit, although it hasn’t fallen as sharply as Bitcoin, it’s down 22.6% from its November 10 all-time high and is currently trading at US $4,878 (AU $6,868).

Despite the recent decline in value, both cryptocurrencies have still performed extremely well this year. Bitcoin is up 144.2% year-to-date, while Ethereum is up an impressive 539% from January the 1st.

Safe Bets During a Crypto Winter

Crypto winters occur in four-year cycles, with the most recent occurring in 2018. Unfavorable events like the US Infrastructure Bill, China’s prohibition on Bitcoin mining, and the release of the Omicron Covid version are predicted to cause significant selloffs of Bitcoin and Ethereum in early November 2021.

Many experts still see Bitcoin and Ethereum as speculative assets due to huge trade volumes and market manipulation on key exchanges. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, other cryptocurrency projects and endeavors are also undergoing a crypto winter.

Bitcoin Hashrate Hits New Record High Post-China Crackdown

Bitcoin has now seen a dramatic recovery in its hashrate since China had carried out its crackdown about half a year ago. The hashrate had dropped significantly when the region had made crypto mining activities illegal and had chased miners out of the country. China, then known as the bitcoin mining capital of the world, had hosted about 70% of mining activities.

Following the crackdown, the mining hashrate from the region crashed to zero. This had greatly affected the mining community which had scrambled to find new homes for their mining farms. Now, five months later, most of the miners have resettled into other parts of the world and mining hashrate has recovered, soaring to new highs in the process.

This time last year, if someone had said, “I’ll sell you a plot of virtual land for 1 ETH,” most of us would have told them to kick sand. Now a year later, most of us are finding that we are the ones kicking sand, and not virtual sand in the Sandbox.

Everyone in blockchain wants to be early, ahead of the curve. To everyone who believes they missed out on the latest blockchain gold rush, virtual land, think again. A more efficient and scalable future for the intersection of blockchain and real estate is being built as we speak – and it’s not solely confined to the Ethereum blockchain.

Nike just bought a virtual shoe company that makes NFTs and sneakers ‘for the metaverse’

One comparison I’ve heard repeatedly over the last year is that buying NFTs to “flex” on people in the metaverse is just like collecting sneakers, and now Nike is apparently trying to make sure it’s ready for the literal version of that possibility. The apparel giant just announced the acquisition of RTFKT Studios, which it calls “a leading brand that leverages cutting edge innovation to deliver next generation collectibles that merge culture and gaming.”

RTFKT claims that in February, a collaboration with teenage artist FEWOCiOUS to sell real sneakers paired with virtual ones managed to sell some 600 pairs/NFTs in just six minutes, netting over $3.1 million at the time. This was around the same early spring period when most of us were hearing about NFTs for the first time, as Grimes sold some $6 million worth of digital artwork on March 1st. It’s not clear if any of these digital items are worth as much now; looking at OpenSea and Nifty Gateway right now, I see a number of them are either listed for or have recently sold for less than their original prices.

According to data gathered by Glassnode — a blockchain analytics platform, the number of Ether addresses holding less than or equal to 0.01 ETH reached a record high level of 19.95 million on Dec. 4, the day ETH dropped to as low as $3,575 (data from Coinbase).

Why the 3 Biggest Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin Plunged Today

When the big dogs lead the way, others follow.

What happened

Today's price action in the wide world of cryptocurrencies has been broadly negative. Indeed, when the three largest tokens by market capitalization -- Bitcoin ( BTC -6.17% ), Ethereum ( ETH -7.96% ) and Binance Coin ( BNB ) -- are all down, the market tends to follow suit.

Over the past 24 hours, these large-cap tokens each lost 3.5%, 3%, and 5.1%, respectively, as of 9:30 a.m. ET. Unsurprisingly, the overall crypto market was down 3.6% over the past day, driven largely by these moves.

What, if anything, could convince you the image above is worth $9 million?

What you're looking at is an NFT, one of the first ever created. It's part of the CryptoPunks collection, a set of 10,000 NFTs released in 2017, a time when much of the world was still finding out what bitcoin is.

Most likely you've already rolled your eyes, either at the $9 million figure or at the very idea of NFTs themselves. The response to nonfungible tokens hasn't changed much since March when they first started exploding. The public at large has reflexively dismissed them as environmentally harmful scams. The bigger the sale, the more brazen the injustice.

The Top 10 Crypto Coins to Look Out For in 2022

Every month, more developers release their own crypto coins, while established coins grow in value. There are now thousands of crypto coins, and many of these have a promising future within the market. In 2022, we may be seeing certain coins continue to rise, or even reach their all-time price high. So, which coins should you be looking out for in 2022, and why?

https://www.laptopmag.com/features/dont-use-your-number-for-2fa-on-crypto

Don’t use your number for 2FA on crypto accounts — here’s why

Ultra-tight account security in the cryptocurrency world is a must. Not only are your digital assets at risk, but crypto exchanges are notorious for offering lousy customer support. If your account gets hacked and a malicious actor drains your funds, good luck finding a live agent! Even Coinbase, one of the world’s most popular crypto exchanges, is known for being as helpful as a chocolate teapot when it comes to recovering compromised accounts.

As such, crypto investors should be gung-ho about implementing preventative security measures because the crypto realm isn’t as forgiving as the fiat world when it comes to lost assets. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a highly recommended way to add an extra layer of security to your account, but there’s a caveat — using your number could put your assets in grave danger. There’s a troubling scam that’s growing more popular among crypto hackers: SIM swapping.

Despite the scores of times that various personalities and publications pronounced it dead, the asset continues to rise in value and be adopted by major institutions, even the prominent traditional finance ones. The plot below highlights the same.

People React to Keanu Reeves’ Hilarious Reaction to the Concept of NFTs

With their new film The Matrix Resurrections set to hit theaters Dec. 22, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss sat down with The Verge this week to discuss how technology is blurring the line between what’s real and virtual.

At one point of the interview, The Verge’s Alex Heath asked the actors about their feelings on cryptocurrency, NFT collectibles, and the concept of digital scarcity.

“Did you guys see the Matrix NFT they did for Resurrections a couple days ago?” Heath asked. “They came out with 100,000 of them and the site broke within a few hours because there were 300,000 people in the queue trying to buy these NFTS.”

Crypto heists are only getting bigger. Here's what you should know

Over the summer, an anonymous hacker stole roughly $600 million in cryptocurrency from Poly Network, a decentralized finance network many outside the crypto world had likely never heard of. Then the hacker gave it back.

Four months later, hackers stole at least $150 million from crypto exchange Bitmart. According to one analysis, unidentified hackers used a stolen private key to open two "hot wallets" and extract funds.

Why Peter Brandt Believes Bitcoin’s Downtrend Was Engineered

After a brutal weekend for the bulls, Bitcoin is yet to stabilize around the high area of its current levels. As of press time, BTC’s price trades at $48,727 with a 2% profit in the past 24 hours and a 14.9% loss during the past week.

Bitcoin Failed in El Salvador. The President Says the Answer Is More Bitcoin.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s experiment in making Bitcoin an official national currency alongside the U.S. dollar, which has been the currency since 2001, has not gone well. But when a con artist’s grift starts to fall apart, he knows to move onto the next one fast. The same goes for fast-talking presidents.

More than 91 percent of Salvadorans want dollars, not bitcoins. The official Chivo payment system was unreliable at launch in September—the kiss of death for a new system. Users joined for the $30 signup bonus, spent it or cashed it out, then didn’t use Chivo again. The system completely failed to check new users’ photos, relying solely on their national identity card number and date of birth; massive identity fraud to steal signup bonuses ensued. Bitcoin’s ridiculously volatile price was appreciated only by aspiring day traders. Large street protests against compulsory Bitcoin implementation continued through October. The government stopped promoting Chivo on radio, TV, and social media. Chivo buses and vans were seen with plastic taped over the company’s logo.

Investing in crypto? What to know about the new tax reporting requirements

Reporting your cryptocurrency trades to the Internal Revenue Service will no longer be based on an honor system. Starting with tax year 2023, any of your potentially taxable digital asset transactions will be reported to the agency by an outside party.

If you've ever held a job or invested in stocks, you know the money you make is reported to the federal government. That's because you and the IRS get a W-2 form from your employer that reports your annual earnings and a Form 1099 from your broker that reports your stock transactions.

Behind crypto's ugly weekend, 'cascading' selloffs and dashed hopes for Bitcoin $100K

Hodl" no more?

The grim weekend cryptocurrency drubbing that dragged Bitcoin (BTC) under $50,000 and ravaged other digital coins has decisively tempered the bullishness of investors — some of whom were predicting a run at $100,000 just weeks ago.

Fueled by uncertainty over the Federal Reserve inching toward tighter monetary policy in the face of surging inflation, and global fears over the new Omicron variant of COVID-19, the dramatic crash was super-charged by liquidations in the crypto derivatives market, market players say.

This Bitcoin fractal predicted the fall, but here’s the next price target

Bitcoin, along with the larger crypto-market, dropped the ball after the most recent price fall had echoes of 19 May’s crash. With BTC shedding 25% of its value in a matter of a few hours, the market seemed to reset to its September-end levels. While it was trading around the $49k-mark at press time, for a brief moment, it did tread close to $42,000 too.

The aforementioned price fall led to a mass wipeout, giving way to over $2.5 billion liquidations across the market. Ergo, the question – Does the macro bullish outlook for Bitcoin remain intact?

Bitmart loses ~$200M following ‘large-scale security breach’

As the crypto-market lost momentum and people across the board panicked again, a group of hackers conflated users’ concerns by targeting Bitmart, a cryptocurrency exchange. Earlier on Sunday, Bitmart Founder and CEO Sheldon Xia confirmed the hack, noting,

“We have identified a large-scale security breach related to one of our ETH hot wallets and one of our BSC hot wallets. At this moment we are still concluding the possible methods used. The hackers were able to withdraw assets of the value of approximately USD 150 millions.”

On the contrary, security researchers PeckShield estimated a total loss of $200 million in various assets. As per the researchers,

‘A perfect storm’ as bitcoin stages weekend crash that puts it on verge of ‘breakdown.’ Here’s what crypto bulls are saying.

A downturn in global stocks appears to be spilling over into the nascent crypto market, with a bout of weekend selling erupting into a mini-flash crash in prices of bitcoin and other notable digital assets.

By Sunday afternoon, bitcoin BTCUSD, -0.22% was trading at $49,252, down slightly on the day. But that followed a harrowing day of trading Saturday, with bitcoin slumping to around $42,000 on some exchanges, tumbling nearly 30% peak-to-trough on a 24-hour basis.

Jack Dorsey Takes Square Deep Down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole

As we wrap up a year jam-packed with high-profile adoptions of crypto by big players, yesterday may have given us the concluding exclamation mark. Days after Jack Dorsey announced that he was stepping down as Twitter CEO, the other company Dorsey runs announced that it was changing its corporate name from “Square” to “Block.” For those who have been paying attention to Dorsey’s trajectory, the signal here could not be clearer.

Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin means this for the rest of the market

The onset of December saw both top coins’ trajectories pick up pace, after a rather laid-back November. Bitcoin saw over 4% gains while Ethereum shot up by over 10% over the last two days taking the market by surprise. This, however, wasn’t the first time Ethereum outperformed BTC and other major alts.

Ethereum outperforms

The top altcoin on a wave of renewed anticipation saw a clear break above the $4,200 resistance zone and the 100 hours simple moving average on 29 November. This breakout above the bearish trend line and a major resistance near $4,205 on the hourly chart pushed ETH’s price up.

Real estate has gone meta

The metaverse is getting hotter. Not hot, like a delicious meal or a Finnish sauna. This mostly fictional, virtual world is getting hot like a real estate market. Because lately, it is one.

If you have enough money and courage, you can now buy up digital tracts of land in the metaverse. Of course, there isn’t just one metaverse. Much like a website is part of the larger World Wide Web, there are countless companies, including Meta (née Facebook), building their own virtual realms where they hope people will soon gather as their digital avatars to play games, buy things, and interact with ads. The emerging real estate market for these three-dimensional spaces in virtual reality — including everything from virtual concert venues and shopping malls to houses and monuments — anticipates a future in which digital property owners can work with brands that want a presence in the various iterations of the metaverse.

India is in the middle of a crypto-revolution. And, it would seem that the regulatory climate is gaining steam too, with the much-speculated crypto-bill scheduled to make its first appearance in the winter session of the parliament. According to tweets shared by the PRS Legislative, 26 new bills will be introduced beginning on 29 November. These bills will include the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021.

Conjectures about this bill have been many and varied. However, as the bill enters the discussion floor, crypto-users and businesses are likely to get more clarity. The bill purports to create a facilitative framework for the creation of a digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India, i.e. A CBDC.

After the first Bitcoin dip under the $60K level on 16 November, the chants of “buy the dip” surged with the expectation of a recovery. The king coin, however, had other plans. BTC’s price tumbled from a high of $66,281 to a low of $55,641 in just a week. This has thrown the market into a panic mode.

Panic taking over?

With the larger market mood looking bearish after another dip on November 23, sentiment played catch-up as spot price contrasted with the larger bullish signals from the metrics. As measured by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, the sentiment had changed to correspond to spot market more closely, noting ‘Fear’ for the day.

How to Create and Sell NFTs for Free

A lot of people have asked me in recent days how they can create and sell NFTs (non-fungible tokens), so I decided to write this tutorial on how you can mint (and hopefully sell) an NFT for free, with absolutely no gas fees or other costs to you.

First, a disclaimer. There are many different platforms and blockchains on which you can mint NFTs and all of them have advantages and disadvantages. In this article, I will only focus on the OpenSea platform and the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain. This is because choosing these is one of the ways you can create NFTs without paying gas fees (which are necessary, and potentially quite pricey, if you mint an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain, for example).

Crypto.com Coin Is Absolutely Skyrocketing. Is It Too Late To Buy?

Crypto.com is “the world’s fastest-growing crypto app.” At the end of June 2021, it was worth just US $0.091. Now it’s sitting at US $0.76, and appears to be on a zero eating mission. But is now a dumb place to jump on in? Is Crypto.com Coin (CRO) going to keep increasing in price or is it better to wait for a pull back? Or could it crash completely?

First, let’s understand a little more about what Crypto.com is. Crypto.com, as we mentioned, calls itself the world’s fastest-growing crypto app, which allows you to buy crypto at true cost. It’s essentially a platform for buying and selling crypto, like Binance or CoinSpot. Though some people have found it too slow to deposit funds and moved onto other crypto trading apps, others really believe in it and love it. Especially the app’s coin: CRO.

‘Ten years from now… Everybody’s gonna wish they just bought more Bitcoin’

Despite heightened adoption and acceptance, it can’t be denied that the whole cryptocurrency industry is perceived to be a high-risk investment. In fact, many are averse to the constant market volatility, scams, hacks, rug pulls, and speculation plaguing the market.

This is, perhaps, even truer for the DeFi sector. Especially since it has fallen victim to scams and hacks amounting to over $10 billion this year.

According to cryptocurrency entrepreneur Erik Voorhees, the higher propensity for DeFi protocols to be attacked comes from their novelty. In a recent podcast, he noted that the lack of peer reviews and background information from these protocols is the primary driver behind these crimes.

How to Research a Cryptocurrency Before Investing

"Do Your Own Research"

Cryptocurrencies are built on solid software and there are genuine and promising applications for them. Furthermore, people do make money investing in cryptocurrencies, but people also lose a lot of money in cryptocurrency scams. Therefore, before you put any money at all into a cryptocurrency, you should spend some time investigating whether the currency is legitimate or not.

The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) got all of market's (and media's) attention when it launched back in October. It's hard to call it anything but an immediate success as it now manages more than $1.4 billion, most of which came in the first several trading days.

There are actually three bitcoin ETFs trading today - BITO along with the Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BTF) and the newly launched VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF (XBTF). BTF debuted just 3 days after BITO, while XBTF launched on Monday. BITO clearly benefited from the first move advantage and controls 95% of the total combined assets of these three ETFs.
