Os tokens de gás aumentam silenciosamente à medida que o custo de transação na rede Ethereum destaca os benefícios dos modelos de token duplo com taxas estáveis.

O congestionamento da rede e os altos custos de transação na rede Bitcoin Pro têm sido um problema persistente para investidores e desenvolvedores no ano passado e isso destacou os projetos de blockchain que oferecem uma solução para esses problemas.

Uma classe de tokens que recebeu um aumento tanto no volume de negociação quanto no preço nos últimos dois meses são os tokens de gás que ajudam as transações de energia em suas respectivas redes de blockchain

Dados da Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView mostram que Gas (GAS), Ontology Gas (ONG) e VeThor Token (VTHO) viram seus preços aumentarem mais de 300% desde o início de fevereiro, graças ao aumento da atenção em modelos de token duplo.

VeThor Token é um dos dois tokens que foram lançados no blockchain público VeChain Thor após a reformulação da marca do projeto em 2018. VeChain (VET) é o token nativo da plataforma e atua como o token de transferência de valor primário, enquanto VTHO é um VIP- 180 token padrão, o que significa que representa o custo de transação no blockchain VeChain Thor.

Desde que atingiu uma baixa de US $ 0,00125 em 1º de fevereiro, o preço do VTHO disparou 615%, para uma alta de US $ 0,00897 em 13 de fevereiro, graças a um volume recorde de US $ 325 milhões em negociações.

Após uma correção que viu a queda do preço para $ 0,0037, o VTHO agora está subindo novamente e é negociado acima de $ 0,008

O VTHO é inseparável da funcionalidade geral do VeChain Thor, pois também representa a camada de contrato inteligente da rede, lidando com todas as transações e execuções inteligentes de contrato.

Como parte do modelo de token duplo, o VTHO é automaticamente distribuído para titulares de VET a taxas que variam de 1,4% a 1,9%, dependendo do provedor de carteira. Isso é semelhante ao modelo de recompensa de aposta e fornece incentivos adicionais para aqueles que têm EFP.

La publication explore si Bitcoin deviendra le nouvel étalon-or.

Newsweek, l’un des plus grands magazines d’information hebdomadaires américains, a pris une tournure positive sur Bitcoin ( BTC ) dans un article récent qui explore si l’actif numérique peut devenir le nouvel étalon-or.

L’article, paru mercredi, dissèque le récit numérique de l’or à l’aide du dernier modèle de JPMorgan Chase montrant un prix potentiel BTC de 146000 dollars . Bien que l’article présente peu d’informations nouvelles pour les passionnés de crypto qui ont retracé l’ascension fulgurante de Bitcoin, il confirme davantage que le récit traditionnel entourant la crypto-monnaie a changé.

«Tout ce qui brille n’est pas de l’or, mais c’est peut-être Bitcoin», a écrit Scott Reeves. «Et à long terme, cela pourrait être plus précieux.»

C’est le message qui est apparu au lectorat de Newsweek, qui se chiffre à des dizaines de millions, dont beaucoup n’ont jamais été exposés au Bitcoin.

Plus tôt cette semaine, Bitcoin a fait la une du Financial Times – à l’occasion du 12e anniversaire du bloc de genèse, rien de moins – offrant une preuve supplémentaire que le grand public ne peut plus ignorer BTC.

En attendant, de plus en plus d’investisseurs inondent le marché, comme en témoigne la forte augmentation des adresses actives et l’intérêt croissant des entreprises et des grandes institutions

Selon le podcasteur Peter McCormack, de nouveaux utilisateurs entrent dans Bitcoin pour le long terme , peut-être au moins pour les trois à cinq prochaines années. Sonny Singh, directeur commercial de BitPay, partage ce sentiment, mais a récemment fait valoir qu’une nouvelle flambée du prix du BTC pourrait conduire à des prises de bénéfices institutionnelles.

Les tendances de recherche sur Google suggèrent que le commerce de détail FOMO, ou la peur de passer à côté, augmente au cours de la nouvelle année – un précurseur potentiel de prix plus élevés à court terme.

The start-up Amazing Blocks focuses on the still young world of security tokens. While in Germany and most other European countries there are some regulatory obstacles to issuing tokenized securities, Liechtenstein is a little further ahead. Amazing Blocks CEO Sofia Balogianni revealed the advantages of the small Liechtenstein jurisdiction, how long it takes to issue tokenized shares and why digital central bank money also promotes the establishment of security tokens.

The interview first appeared in the November issue of Kryptokompass .

How did you get started with Amazing Blocks? What was your motivation?

During my studies at Frankfurt School, I helped organize the Crypto Assets Conference and therefore came into contact with a large number of blockchain founders and experts. The lecture by the law firm Nägele, in which the groundbreaking Liechtenstein Token Act was presented, was particularly inspiring. The networking that followed resulted in promising interfaces with today’s co-founders. The Amazing Blocks product was already sketched there and the first block was laid.

In a nutshell: What is your core business and what benefits do you bring your customers?

Our core business relates to tokenization and the optionally associated investor suite, which we can offer at the beginning of next year. We can help to tokenize the shares of companies according to the Liechtenstein Token Act, but also material assets such as art objects or even vintage cars. Our task is to analyze the customer’s business model and to offer appropriate solution concepts for tokens, smart contracts and technical mapping. Our strength is that we can respond individually to customer requests, as a type of token, for example equity token, debt token or ownership token, can be selected flexibly.

What are the biggest advantages compared to the traditional way without blockchain?

The advantages of our solution start with the establishment of a stock corporation. The Liechtenstein Token Act optionally enables bankless establishment without having to travel to Liechtenstein. We offer our customers a step-by-step plan for an accelerated formation of the company and its tokenization. The entire process until tokenization takes four weeks in the best of cases.

As far as our software solution is concerned, we offer a token management platform, which for the first time makes it possible to generate everything from equity tokens to debt tokens, depending on customer requirements. The topic of fundraising becomes more flexible, efficient and cost-effective through the tokenization of equity tokens. In addition, property transfers are possible 24/7 and without a notary. In general, the use of smart contracts means that traditional intermediaries can increasingly be dispensed with. As a LegalTech start-up, we support our customers during the founding process as well as with tech-based questions about tokenization and administration. Here we often work together with corresponding law firms, for example when our platform has to be adapted to certain use cases, such as the tokenization of works of art.

I prezzi sono scesi un po‘ in modo quasi generalizzato in crypto oggi. Ma solo un po‘, e tutti i segnali indicano che l’encierro è tutt’altro che finito.

Il Bitcoin L’encierro è stato frenetico. Prendere un attimo di respiro probabilmente non è una cattiva idea.

La capitalizzazione totale di mercato per la crittografia è aumentata di 100 miliardi di dollari nelle ultime 48 ore. Oggi, però, questa eccitazione è stata in qualche modo mitigata.

La Bitcoin è scesa di poco più di mezzo punto percentuale, attestandosi intorno ai 22.600 dollari. XRP, la terza più grande moneta criptata

per limite di mercato, ha preso il colpo maggiore, scendendo di quasi il 12% e scambiando poco più di $0,50.

Bitcoin ancora rialzista

Sebbene Bitcoin Up si trovi attualmente in un territorio inesplorato dopo aver raggiunto un nuovo record storico e aver infranto la barriera psicologica dei 23.000 dollari, la crittovaluta sta tornando ad acque tranquille.

Il Bitcoin ha quasi raggiunto il traguardo dei 24.000 dollari, ma da allora si è tirato un po‘ indietro. Oggi ha raggiunto i 22.329 dollari prima di stabilizzarsi al suo prezzo attuale.

Ma anche con questa piccola diapositiva, Bitcoin rimane rialzista. Il suo indice di forza relativa (una metrica che misura la domanda tra acquirenti e venditori) suggerisce che c’è ancora un forte appetito per l’asset cripto.

L’indice Crypto Fear and Greed Index conferma questo sentimento, mostrando che c’è un’estrema avidità nei mercati, con l’avidità tra i trader attualmente a 95 su una scala da 1 a 100.

I detentori sperano probabilmente di rimanere avidi.

L’XRP si è schiantato, ma potrebbe essere molto peggio

Nel frattempo, l’XRP di Ripple ha subito oggi un calo relativamente significativo dei prezzi a seguito di un’enorme ripresa all’inizio del mese.

Come notato in precedenza, l’airdrop Flare Network Spark, che ha promesso un crypto gratuito a chiunque abbia l’XRP ad uno scambio idoneo, ha portato ad un rinnovato entusiasmo intorno al terzo più popolare crypto.

Il prezzo dell’XRP è aumentato nei giorni precedenti l’airdrop, ma poi è sceso di nuovo al ribasso dopo l’airdrop e la pubblicità intorno ad esso è finita.

Da allora, però, il gettone si è ripreso, ed è saltato da 0,46 a 0,66 dollari, proprio nel periodo in cui il Bitcoin ha raggiunto il suo nuovo prezzo più alto di tutti i tempi.

A differenza del Bitcoin, però, non è riuscito a mantenere quello slancio. Eppure, anche a soli 0,57 dollari e 57 centesimi di dollaro, il suo valore è ancora del 194% superiore a quello che valeva l’XRP all’inizio dell’anno.

Kevin O’Leary, en bemærkelsesværdig investor og Bitcoin-kritiker, har gentagne gange ramt Bitcoin for sine opfattede fiaskoer. Han ser dog ud til at blødgøre sin holdning til aktivet, selvom han stadig har forbehold.

Regeringsgodkendelse den endelige ingrediens for „værdifuld“ Bitcoin

O’Leary er formand for investeringsselskabet O’Shares ETF’er. Den canadiske forretningsmand, berømt for sin tid på ABC’s Shark Tank, satte sig for nylig for at diskutere Bitcoin med Anthony Pompliano, en bemærkelsesværdig kryptohandler og investor. I en episode af sidstnævnte Pomp Podcast forklarede O’Leary, at han var gået forbi sin tidligere kritik af Bitcoin.

Forretningsmanden forklarede, at han ejer Bitcoin og kunne investere mere i aktivet i fremtiden. Han forklarede dog, at han stadig ikke var fortrolig med at foretage langsigtede investeringer i den førende kryptokurrency.

O’Leary tilføjede, at han foretrækker at investere i andre alternative aktiver, da han ikke så Bitcoins langsigtede potentiale. Han forklarede, at det meste af hans anslåede nettoværdi på 400 millioner dollars forbliver i guld, og at hans mest fremtrædende problem med Bitcoin er, at den stadig ikke har støtte fra finansielle regulatorer.

O’Leary er kommet langt fra sine skeptiske dage. Sidste år kom han ind i en berygtet spyd med Pompliano på CNBC’s Squawk Box, da han erklærede, at Bitcoin ikke havde nogen egenværdi. Investoren forklarede, at Bitcoin ikke har nogen underliggende værdi, idet han tilføjede, at halveringsprocessen, der var designet til at regulere aktivets forsyning, kun var „BS“. Han påpegede også, at han havde købt noget Bitcoin og blev brændt i processen.

For sin del forklarede Pompliano, at Bitcoin blot havde en hård start. Som enhver forstyrrende teknologi var aktivet nødvendigt for at stabilisere sig. Til sidst ville det fungere som en praktisk valutaform.

Forvirring blandt guldbugs

O’Leary ser nu mere optimistisk ud fra aktivet. Delvist forklarede han til Pompliano, at verden har brug for en digital valuta.

Det sker dog ikke uden støtte fra tilsynsmyndigheder. O’Leary tilføjede, at han ville lægge mere af sin formue i Bitcoin, hvis regeringer regulerer aktivet. For nu tager han en mere konservativ tilgang med guld. O’Leary sagde,

„Hvis du fortalte mig schweizerne og euroen og de amerikanske og canadiske, australske regeringer enige om hvad det end er, ville jeg lægge op til 20% af min portefølje i den.“

Mens O’Leary holder fast ved sin tro på guld, overvejer nogle andre entusiaster af $ 2 billioner aktivet deres strategier.

Sidste uge fortalte Dan Tapiero, grundlæggeren af ​​Gold Bullion International, Pompliano, at der ikke er nogen tvivl om Bitcoins eventuelle stigning over guld. Tapiero fremhævede, at det kun er et spørgsmål om tid for den førende kryptokurrency at overhale guld og pege på faktorer som øget institutionel investering og tiltrækning til årtusinder.

Mens Tapiero rådede investorer til at opretholde afbalancerede porteføljer, hævdede han, at Bitcoins sekscifrede prispind er uundgåelig.

Square payment company Jack Dorsey reported an increase in revenue and gross profit from bitcoin sales in the third quarter of 2020. Compared to the previous period, the figures have increased 11 and 15 times, the report says.

From July to September Square sold $1.63 billion worth of bitcoins and gross profit amounted to $32 million. The second quarter figures were $875 million and $17 million, respectively.

The company attributed this growth to increased cryptographic activity and the volume of transactions per customer.

The report states that Square has been selling bitcoins the news spy through its own Cash App for ten quarters. Total sales exceeded $4 billion.

Net profit amounted to $34.1 million including funds spent to acquire the asset. Total gross profit for the third quarter was $794 million.

In the first quarter of 2019, Square sold $65.5 million worth of bitcoins through Cash App. The result for the next three months was almost twice as high, at $125 million.

It should be reminded that in October 2020 Square invested $50 million or approximately 1% of total assets in bitcoins at the end of the second quarter.

On-chain analytics and security firm Chainalysis has announced the launch of its „Asset Recovery Program,“ designed to help government agencies and bankruptcy practitioners handle, store, recover and monitor seized assets.

The program was launched just days after the seizure of over $ 1 billion worth of Bitcoin by US authorities – belonging to the now-defunct Silk Road marketplace – in one of the largest seizures of cryptocurrencies to date.

US Government Bitcoin Sale

The authorities did not get hold of Bitcoin on Silk Road by chance. Chainalysis‘ tools and investigative support services have been heavily involved in helping judicial authorities identify and investigate the crypto wallets used by the owners of the marketplace – funds that have been or should be used to help sell narcotics on the dark web – Silk Road marketplace to facilitate.

However, owning such a large amount of Bitcoin is a problem. The only two options available are to either store the money or eventually sell it in the open market. This is where the new Chainalysis program comes in. , The company in a message:

„As law enforcement becomes more sophisticated in investigating illegal activities related to cryptocurrencies, including the confiscation of illegal proceeds, the need for digital asset realization services grows“

Chainalysis Chief Revenue Officer Jason Bonds said in a statement that the maturation of the cryptocurrency market means its use by good and bad actors is increasing in similar fashion.

But the company can help, as he writes:

„As our government partners become increasingly successful in eradicating the bad actors, helping them recover and realize assets is a natural next step.“

In short, the US government could soon sell the bitcoins it owns … facilitated by Chainalysis.

Good for crypto … maybe not

Asset Reality, which manages and exploits seized assets for public and private sector clients around the world, will work with Chainalysis to determine how to sell the seized funds.

The team consists of legal and law enforcement practitioners who provide strategic advisory services and training to law enforcement agencies around the world on cryptocurrency and other complex assets.

This step is not the first for Chainalysis. Earlier this year, the company’s services were similarly used in high-profile law enforcement operations involving similar civil forfeiture actions against cryptocurrencies – such as terrorist financing and North Korean hacking cases.

But that begs another question: is a company that tracks crypto addresses working against the very ethos of crypto (privacy) – or not?

Controversial opinion: the DOJ should not sell seized Bitcoins, it should begin stockpiling a national reserve of BTC to back the USD after the fiat era ends

PlanB is still sticking to its Bitcoin price forecast of 100,000 – 288,000 USD for 2021. His prediction is based on his stock-to-flow (S2F) model for BTC, which Bayern LB already took up last year.

According to its S2F model, the Bitcoin price will rise to over USD 100,000 by the end of 2021. There are many who have already predicted such prices for the end of 2019 or 2020, but PlanB’s assumption is based on a valid model that has so far been 95% true.

Bitcoin price of over 100,000 USD by the end of 2021?

There are only 13 months left until December 2021. The Bitcoin course still has 13 months to go through 3 phases of the market cycle. According to this, 100,000 USD doesn’t sound entirely unrealistic when you take the time component into account.

PlanB is currently still confident and says that more and more Bitcoins are being transferred to cold wallets. This is a sign that many investors are pursuing a long-term investment horizon and want to keep the BTC safe in the meantime.

According to PlanB, hundreds of small BTC purchases are currently being made when Bitcoin is corrected. The whales or smart money collect the bitcoins of the short-term speculators and accumulate more and more BTC.

With the shift of bitcoins from the various exchanges towards cold wallets, the supply on the market is falling. In addition, the last Bitcoin halving only took place in May and has halved the range of new BTC that are added per new block.

Halving as a regular trigger for a bull run

In the past, this event has repeatedly caused a supply shock. This shock only came a few months / years after the respective halving. It takes time for the market to feel the supply shortage.

An increasing shortage is the foundation for the next bullrun. Traders who have been trading for four to five years know this effect. The Bitcoin halving from 2012 and 2016 led to the bull run in 2013 and 2017. The last halving already shows a positive effect on the Bitcoin price. The BTC price has risen by more than 60% since the last halving.

The history of Bitcoin repeats itself over and over again. First, there is a fundamental demand for BTC from investors who understand the revolutionary idea behind digital gold. This is followed by a halving that halves the amount of new Bitcoins that flow into the market.

The supply shock leads to a rising price per BTC. The rising price generates great interest from outside and drives new investors into the market. So the demand is increasing exponentially. The whole thing comes to a head and results in a Bitcoin bubble . We were able to experience this process live twice after the last Halvings.

• La truffa del malware Bitcoin utilizzata per frodare l’utente Bitcoin
• La truffa del cripto resta in aumento.
• Una truffa di malware Bitcoin ha recentemente ingannato un utente Bitcoin a spendere Bitcoin per un valore di oltre 70.000 dollari.

Le truffe di Crypto sono state in prima linea nelle truffe perpetrate e, più recentemente, il sito di social media Twitter è stato utilizzato per eseguire una delle più grandi rapine mai viste nella storia del settore.

Questo, tuttavia, non è stato un caso isolato. Continua la lunga serie di truffe criptate che erano diventate sempre più regolari dal 2017, quando l’aumento della truffa del malware Bitcoin Revolution si è diffuso.

Non solo la truffa del malware o la truffa della pubblicità sui social media è in aumento, ma nel settore vengono utilizzate truffe più avanzate anche su ignari utenti di crittografia.

Secondo Whalebot, un utente ignaro ha recentemente effettuato un pagamento di 7,011 Bitcoin su un conto malware attivo dal luglio 2019. Il pagamento è stato confermato per l’approvazione e il successo.

Le truffe Bitcoin Malware e altre truffe criptate sono in aumento

Come abbiamo detto prima, le truffe criptiche sono di nuovo in aumento e le più popolari sono le truffe pubblicitarie sui social media.

La pandemia globale è stata usata come strumento da questi truffatori che usano tecniche diverse come gli annunci sui social media, i pop-up su internet, il phishing via e-mail e altri modi noti per truffare gli utenti di crypto.

Questi annunci tendono a fare promesse troppo allettanti, in quanto tendono a promettere agli utenti un sacco di vantaggi e l’opportunità di raddoppiare o triplicare le loro proprietà di crittografia.

Non solo, anche i video di YouTube e i nomi di persone e aziende fidate vengono utilizzati per perpetrare queste truffe.

I truffatori hanno utilizzato immagini di Changpeng Zhao, CEO di Binance, nome di Elon Musk e della sua società, Tesla, per realizzare truffe che valgono migliaia di dollari.

Allo stato attuale, sono state segnalate oltre 200 truffe Bitcoin, e ce ne sono molte di più che non sono state segnalate o sono state sottovalutate.
