XRP Fork Flare Now Stöds av Binance.US

• 41 växlar är inställda för att tappa token
• Ripple är inte en del av konversationerna

Binance.US, den amerikanska delen av Bitcoin Profit den största börsen med rapporterade handelsvolymer, kommer att delta i Flare Network’s Spark airdrop, enligt ett meddelande den 3 december:

Din ögonblicksbild av XRP-saldot kommer att äga rum vid en tidsstämpel som är större än eller lika med 2012-12-12 00:00 (UTC), vilket är den 11 december 2020 kl. 19 EST / 16:00 PST („ögonblicksbildsperioden“).

Alla användare med ett saldo som överstiger 10 XRP kommer att kunna delta i distributionen av FLR-tokens 2021.

41 växlar är inställda för att tappa token

Innan dess hävdade Binance.US att det inte skulle stödja airdrop medan de uppmanade sina användare att ta ut mynt någon annanstans för att delta i evenemanget.

Som rapporterats av U.Today meddelade moderföretaget att det skulle distribuera token i slutet av oktober.

Ett liknande scenario har spelat ut med Jesse Powells Kraken. Efter att teamet bekräftat att det inte fanns några planer på att underlätta airdrop den 28 november tackade Flare Networks sedan utbytet för att stödja den den 2 december.

Under den senaste veckan har en rad stora börser, som OKEx, Huobi, Bittrex, Poloniex och Bitfinex, kommit ombord. Sammantaget är 41 utbyten nu redo att flyga token.

Coinbase, den ledande amerikanska kryptobörsen, kommer emellertid inte att delta i evenemanget trots att han innehar svindlande 3 miljarder XRP-tokens. Som rapporterats av U.Today, var teamet ovilliga att upprätthålla kommunikationen med laget och därmed förstärka XRP-communityn.

Ripple ingår inte i konversationerna

Frenzyen kring airdrop den 12 december tros vara en av de främsta orsakerna bakom XRP: s 85-procentiga rally.

Under en intervju med CNN nyligen beskrev Brad Garlinghouse Flare Networks som en ”mycket spännande start”:

För mig är det bara ett ytterligare exempel på människors erkännande av att XRP är en så effektiv digital tillgång … Verktyget kommer att driva det långsiktiga värdet av alla digitala tillgångar. Att se ett företag som Flare Networks och se dem använda XRP-nätverket på olika sätt, tror jag, är en möjlighet som kan gå framåt men det påverkar inte RippleNet-kunder.

Han tillade att XRP-innehavare var „förtjänande upphetsade“ över airdrop. På frågan om han var orolig för att Coinbase inte deltog nämnde han att Ripple inte var en del av dessa konversationer:

Visst vill vi vara stödjande och hjälpsamma men vi låter dem ta ledningen.

El segundo más rico de México, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, confirma que el 10% de su cartera líquida está invertido en bitcoin.

El multimillonario dice que la cripta superior protege la riqueza de los ciudadanos privados de ser expropiados. Pliego aconseja a sus seguidores que sigan sus pasos para estudiar y entender el bitcoin. También recomienda un libro, „El estándar de Bitcoin“, como una herramienta de aprendizaje ideal para los estudiantes.

Un caso para Bitcoin en un portafolio

Con un valor neto estimado de 11.900 millones de dólares, Pliego se une a la creciente lista de millonarios, multimillonarios y corporaciones que ahora añaden bitcoin a sus carteras de inversión. Mientras tanto, en uno de sus tweets, el multimillonario da su perspectiva sobre lo que bitcoin puede aportar a una cartera de inversiones. Dice:

Para empezar con bitcoin, comparto un video tomado en un país latino donde los bancos tiran el dinero (cuando los billetes se vuelven inútiles). Dice que por eso siempre es bueno diversificar nuestra cartera de inversiones. Esto es una expropiación inflacionaria.

Pliego no ha divulgado el nombre del país latino cuya moneda sin valor se muestra en el vídeo. Sin embargo, muchos están seguros de que se refiere a la hiperinflación que golpeó a Venezuela. La moneda del país sudamericano, el bolívar, es una de las monedas de peor rendimiento este año. Algunos ciudadanos de Venezuela ya usan el bitcoin para proteger sus inversiones y ahorros de la inflación.

Reacción mixta a los tweets de Pliego

Mientras tanto, la reacción a los comentarios de Pliego sobre el bitcoin parece estar mezclada con los que principalmente aplauden los tweets. Los no-bitcoiners son escépticos de las monedas digitales, en general, mientras que otros se sorprenden por el aplauso de Pliego a los bitcoin. Uno de los que responde positivamente al tweet de Pliego es el usuario Bryan GF. En su respuesta a Pliego pregunta:

Tío Ricardo, además de Bitcoin, ¿recomendaría algún otro criptográfico como por ejemplo Ethereum?

Otro usuario Carlos Dayan dice „lo importante es estudiar cómo funciona, entender los ciclos del mercado, por qué sube o baja, para no tener miedo a la corrección de los precios y aprovechar los descuentos de precios cuando bajan“.

El multimillonario mexicano Ricardo Pliego invierte el 10% de su cartera líquida en Bitcoin – dice que el cripto escudos contra la expropiación de riquezas

Sin embargo, usuarios como Carlos Salinas han atacado a Pliego por hacer el „comentario irresponsable“. Según este usuario de Twitter, „invertir en criptodivisas conlleva un alto riesgo debido a la volatilidad, sólo tienes que invertir el dinero que estás dispuesto a perder sin afectar a las finanzas personales“.

Ethereum 2.0 Surprises Us All – Phase 0 of the Ethereum to Ethereum 2.0 transition has finally started. A week after the deployment of the deposit contract, it already accounts for more than 61,000 ETH.

Ethereum 2.0 is coming

The long-awaited update to the Bitcoin Freedom network is finally in the pipes. In addition, the deposit contract was deployed on November 4 . This allows future validators to deposit the 32 ETH necessary to take part in the transaction validation process .

As a reminder, this contract is the cornerstone of the launch of Ethereum 2.0. Indeed, the beacon chain , the central Ethereum 2.0 chain responsible for synchronizing the network and managing the consensus, will not be launched until 16,384 different validators have deposited 524,288 ETH .

10% of goal already achieved

A week after the contract was deployed, 10% of the 524,288 ETH target was reached . In fact, the deposit contract currently has 61,024 ETH deposited by 1,901 different validators .

However, despite a peak of 652 deposits recorded on November 5, the trend seems to have since slowed down, to stabilize around a hundred daily deposits .

If this pace were to be maintained, it would take around 140 days for the contt to hold the 524,288 ETH needed to create the genesis block .

ETH 2: the whales‘ playground

Behind this mixed participation, hides a proven fact: the launch of ETH 2 is the preserve of the whales.

In fact, to participate in the launch of Ethereum 2.0, validators must deposit 32 ETH, the equivalent of 12,000 euros in ether .

bConnect platform begins to be used by Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay to ensure more agility and security in the exchange of information on foreign trade

ObConnect, a blockchain network developed by Serpro for the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service, began to be used in October to connect the customs offices of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

The platform guarantees the authenticity and security of customs data shared among Mercosur countries.

„The bConnect network begins by allowing the sharing of information from Authorized Economic Operators (AEO) and there are already plans to increase the network to meet the sharing of information from Customs Declarations. More than a product, we are implementing a concept that will allow the exchange of any information between countries in a secure and agile way, preserving the sovereignty of each country“, highlights the manager of Foreign Trade Solutions at Serpro, Paulo Ramos.

According to Bárbara Harckbart de Oliveira, of the General Coordination of Customs Administration (Coana) of the Federal Revenue, „bConnect was created to supply an international need of automated exchange of customs data of the OAS between the countries, that, before, was made, in its majority, by means of spreadsheets elaborated or extracted from the system that each country had and sent by electronic mail“.

Paulo Ramos added that companies certified as OAS are listed on the Internet, but it was necessary to have a system in which it was possible to send data from Brazilian companies and, at the same time, consult the certification of foreign companies.

„bConnect opens a new scenario for automating the sharing of customs information and will be evolved to allow the integration of Mercosur with other economic blocks regardless of the technology used by them,“ he reveals.

How bConnect works

bConnect is a tool that allows the network sharing of registration information of companies certified by the Federal Revenue Service as an Authorized Economic Operator (OAS) and that enjoy benefits such as facilitation of customs procedures, both in Brazil and abroad.

According to Fernando Lustosa, Business Solutions for Foreign Trade consultant for Serpro, the bConnect solution was developed using the Hyperledger Fabric 1.4 framework, an open source application maintained by The Linux Foundation.

„This solution, which is vendor-independent, enables the access and visibility rules of the bilateral agreements signed to be replicated in the authorized blockchain network formed by the nodes of the Mercosur countries,“ said Lustosa.

Fernando Lustosa also explains that „Hyperledger Fabric is an authorised blockchain network defined by organisations wishing to set up a consortium, i.e. they must be invited to participate in a Hyperledger blockchain, unlike open public networks such as Ethereum.

The organisations participating in the construction of the Hyperledger Fabric network are called ‚members‘, Membership Service Provider – MSP, which in the case of bConnect are the Mercosur countries“.

Because of its permission, Fabric has features with advantages over other open blockchains: data protection and consistency – it uses permissions to ensure member control and access rights; confidential transactions – visibility control of transactions by groups based on cryptographic keys (digital certificates); no cryptomaps – no need for mining or costly computing to publish transactions; programmable – logic implemented in contracts (chaincode) for business process automation.

„Each country on the network includes information relating to its OAS companies in the blockchain and this information will be immediately viewed by those countries whose Smart Contract is established. In the innovative architecture proposed by Brazil, the foreign trade systems will be connected to this network and will be sensitized with the inclusion of new blocks“, says the manager of Serpro Paulo Ramos.

International reference

The bConnect platform was presented in September to the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, an American security programme, as an example to ensure authenticity of customs information shared between Brazil and partner countries. The presentation made by Serpro specialists marked a new moment in international data exchange, in which Brazil is a reference.

The price of Bitcoin rose to $20,000 in 2017 and fell sharply. According to Glassnode, the same top sign has come up now, but it seems different this time for several reasons.

Important sign of 2017 reappears for Bitcoin, but this time it may not be relevant

In 2017, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) reached US$ 20,000 before falling rapidly. Now, the same signal from the top of the chain has resurfaced, according to Glassnode researchers. But beyond much stronger fundamentals this time, the current rally seems quite different for other reasons.

Bitcoin usually retreats when whales make a profit, causing a cascading effect on the entire cryptomorph market. Thus, when the vast majority of the market is profiting, the chances of correction increase.

Bitcoin price reaches new record high in these 7 countries

The percentage of Bitcoin UTXOs in profit.
98% of all Bitcoin addresses are now profiting

Since the March 2020 crash, when the price of Bitcoin fell below $3,600 on BitMEX, BTC has risen 260%. After such a high, a phase of consolidation or retreat may cause a healthier recovery in the medium term.

Glassnode researchers found that the last time 98% of all Bitcoin UTXOs were profitable was in December 2017. After Bitcoin peaked at $19,798 on December 16, 2017, it fell 45% in six days to $10,961.

What the experts say about Bitcoin’s historical maximum in Brazil

Bitcoin weekly price list since 2017.

At the time, many whales and retail investors made a profit, causing enormous volatility. Glassnode wrote:

„98% of all #Bitcoin UTXOs are currently making a profit. A level not seen since December 2017, and typical in previous BTC bullish markets. ”

However, there are several fundamental and technical differences between the current rally and the 2017 maximum.

First, the current Bitcoin rally has been much more stable than the 2017 parabolic increase, which happened so suddenly that no clear level of resistance and support was established.

This time Bitcoin has been rising steadily, confirming $10,500, $11,300, $12,000 and $12,500 as key support levels.

Secondly, institutional and overall demand is high in relation to the volume coming from the derivatives market.

After the high profile allocations from Square, MicroStrategy and Stone Ridge in Bitcoin, the volume of platforms focused on institutions has increased. LMAX Digital, CME and Bakkt specifically saw a significant increase in commercial activity since August.
OTC market also grows

When miners, whales and high net worth traders buy and sell Bitcoin, they usually depend on the OTC market.

The OTC market allows large trades to be combined with minimal slippage, which could trigger large price fluctuations in exchanges.

Professional traders increased short positions when Bitcoin price exceeded $12,000, show data

The consistent increase in over-the-counter trading suggests that the appetite for BTC of large investors and institutions is likely to increase. Analysts from on-chain data provider CryptoQuant said:

„To see how many OTC trades are in progress, you can look at the Fund Flow Ratio. The 30-day moving average has reached a minimum of 2 years. Large portfolios are coming out of the exchanges. Paypal news may just be the beginning“.

The combination of high volume, a stable uptrend and increasing volumes of OTC make new entries to the Bitcoin market more likely. If the trend is maintained, it can compensate for possible declines in profit realization in the cryptomino market.

Willy Woo: Das vierte Quartal wird eher freundlich zu Bitcoin sein

Nach den neuesten Diagrammen und Erkenntnissen von Krypto-Experten und Analysten wird das vierte Quartal dieses Jahres eher freundlich zu bitcoin sein.

Werden diese letzten Monate gut für Bitcoin sein?

In der Vergangenheit war das vierte Quartal immer ein wichtiger Bestimmungsfaktor dafür, wie die Preisentwicklung von Bitcoin in den kommenden Monaten aussehen wird. Im Jahr 2016 haben wir gesehen, wie Bitcoin zum ersten Mal seit etwa drei Jahren die 1.000-Dollar-Grenze erreichte. Seit 2013 ist es Bitcoin nicht mehr gelungen, ein solches Ziel zu erreichen. Dies schuf die Voraussetzungen für die massive Preiserholung bei Bitcoin Code der Währung, die das ganze Jahr 2017 über anhielt.

Wie wir uns alle erinnern, erreichte die Währung ihr Allzeithoch von fast 20.000 US-Dollar pro Einheit. Diese Zahl wurde in der Weihnachtszeit des Jahres erreicht und hinterließ allen Krypto-Enthusiasten das größte Geschenk, das sie sich erhoffen konnten. Das Jahr 2018 nahm jedoch eine böse Wendung und brachte das Vermögen in eine schwere Baisse-Phase, die sich über weite Teile des Jahres hinzog.

Als das vierte Quartal eintraf, verzeichnete Bitcoin einen äußerst unangenehmen Sturz und fiel von der 6.000-Dollar-Ranglinie – in der es den größten Teil des Sommers verbracht hatte – in die mittlere 3.000-Dollar-Ranglinie. Dies dauerte während der verbleibenden Monate des Jahres 2018 und etwa vier Monate bis in das Jahr 2019 hinein.

Jetzt, da wir in die letzten drei Monate des Jahres 2020 eingetreten sind, behaupten viele Websites und Quellen, dass Bitcoin sich in einer „Kaufzone“ befindet. Das Datenanalyseunternehmen Glass Node beispielsweise behauptet, dass Bitcoin seine größte Kaufzone seit Anfang März erreicht hat, als sich der Coronavirus erstmals auf internationaler Ebene ausbreitete und die größten Finanzmärkte des Landes angriff.

Damals verlor Bitcoin mehr als 6.000 Dollar an Wert und fiel von der niedrigen 10.000-Dollar-Preisspanne Mitte Februar bis in die hohe 3.000-Dollar-Preisspanne. Es dauerte nur zwei Monate, bis sich der Vermögenswert vollständig erholt hatte, wahrscheinlich weil viele Menschen von dem plötzlich niedrigen Preis von Bitcoin fasziniert waren und begannen, den Vermögenswert auf einem viel ernsthafteren Niveau zu kaufen.

Analysten wie Willy Woo stimmen mit Glass Node überein und haben Twitter und andere soziale Medienplattformen genutzt, um ihre Gedanken und Ideen zu äußern. Woo hat kürzlich folgenden Tweet angeboten:

Bereiten Sie sich auf ein großartiges Viertelvierteljahr 2020 für BTC-Leute vor (blah blah, Entkopplung, blah blah, neue Korrelationen). Das Schwierigkeitsband ist einer meiner zuverlässigeren persönlichen Favoriten.

Wir steuern auf den endgültigen Countdown zu

Die Idee dahinter ist, dass Bitcoin, nachdem sie vor kurzem einen Rückgang um 2.000 $ erlitten hat (ein Rückgang von etwa 12.400 $ auf etwa 10.400 $ vor wenigen Wochen), sowohl für neue Käufer als auch für langfristige Investoren, die weitere Bitcoin-Einheiten in ihre Portfolios aufnehmen möchten, kostengünstiger und erschwinglicher ist.

Ein separates Diagramm, das von Bitwise herausgegeben wurde, erklärt, dass die Währung bis Ende 2021 potenziell bis zu 150.000 $ erreichen könnte. Das Diagramm stützt sich auf die dritte Halbierung, die im vergangenen Mai stattfand, und behauptet, dass die Währung in der Regel ein Jahr oder länger nach der Halbierung braucht, um sich wirklich in übermäßig bullisches Terrain zu bewegen.

Store og små BitMEX-forhandlere trækker Bitcoin Profit hurtigt ud af børsen ved nyheder om handelsplatformens lovlige indviklinger.

Torsdag meddelte US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , at de opkræver fem BitMEX-operative enheder og kryptohandelsplatformens tre grundlæggere, Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo og Samuel Reed, for at overtræde flere CFTC-regler

Det amerikanske justitsministerium har også anklaget de tre grundlæggere og dets leder af forretningsudvikling, Gregory Dwyer, for overtrædelse af bankhemmeligholdelsesloven.

Ifølge Chainalysis-cheføkonom Philip Gradwell forlod over 40.000 Bitcoin BitMEX’s udveksling mindre end 24 timer efter, at nyheden om beskyldningerne brød ud, og i alt ca. 440.000.000 $ i udbetalinger

”Siden 17:00 UTC i går er 41.838 bitcoin trukket tilbage fra BitMEX i 4.547 overførsler. Halvdelen af ​​overførslerne var på 0,25 bitcoin eller derunder, og den største 1% af overførslerne tegnede sig for 63% af den tilbagekaldte bitcoin. Så mange små handlende og et par store spillere trak sig tilbage. ”

I en efterfølgende tweet bemærker Gradwell , at Chainalysis-data viser, at 24-timers BTC-indskud i top 15 af kryptohandelsplatforme var steget med ca. 30%, mens udstrømningen kun var steget med et lille beløb. Chainalysis cheføkonom hævder, at en generel tilbøjelighed til at holde BTC på disse børser kan indikere, at „folk er rolige, efter at BitMEX opkræver og sælger penge på andre markeder.“

Dal 2012, l’Associazione Bitcoin di Hong Kong è una delle più forti comunità locali focalizzate sul Bitcoin, che vanta un’adesione attuale di oltre 5.000 persone. Durante il mese di settembre, l’organizzazione utilizzerà le donazioni per l’acquisto di spazi pubblicitari con dichiarazioni informative che evidenziano „i rischi e i meriti del Bitcoin“. 

„L’obiettivo è principalmente quello di avviare una conversazione sui meriti della Bitcoin, soprattutto nel contesto delle sfide economiche in corso“, ha spiegato Leo Weese, co-fondatore dell’Associazione Bitcoin di Hong Kong. „Penso che il bello sia che non si tratta di una pubblicità aziendale, ma di una pubblicità puramente incentrata sul Bitcoin stesso, come tecnologia dirompente (#GlobalInternetMoney), come copertura contro l’inflazione (#DigitalGold) e come mezzo di inclusione finanziaria (#BeYourOwnBank)“.

Durante la campagna, ci saranno cinque diversi messaggi che evidenziano alcuni aspetti del perché Bitcoin è un importante agente di cambiamento. Nei messaggi sono incluse le citazioni del pioniere di Internet Stewart Brand e del commissario della FCC T.A.M Craven, oltre a frasi che parlano dei punti di forza di Bitcoin.

Nella parte inferiore di ogni pannello è incluso il messaggio: „Disclaimer: I vostri Bitcoin sono sotto la vostra responsabilità.  Non ci saranno salvataggi o facilitazioni quantitative.  Le transazioni Bitcoin sono irreversibili.  Non sono adatte al riciclaggio di denaro sporco“.

Quando gli è stato chiesto se c’è stato un pushback riguardo alla campagna

Weese ha risposto: „Non c’è ancora nessun pushback, la società di pubblicità era un po‘ preoccupata che potessimo spingere un investimento, ma si sarebbe accontentata di aggiungere anche un disclaimer. Gli annunci sono stati messi insieme in sole due settimane dall’inizio, la raccolta fondi, la progettazione e l’implementazione“.

Le campagne si svolgeranno su tre tram e cartelloni situati a Hong Kong, compresi gli spot di rilievo al di fuori della sede centrale di Bank of China HK, HSBC e Standard Chartered HK.  La campagna inizia l’11 settembre e termina l’8 ottobre.
