Perché la sessione asiatica detiene la chiave del calo del prezzo di Bitcoin

Il prezzo di Bitcoin sembrava essersi ripreso mentre rimbalzava dall’apertura annuale a 28.956 dollari.

Tuttavia, gli indicatori on-chain suggeriscono che questa espansione è stata un colpo di fortuna. Infatti, gli acquirenti senza volume reale o slancio stanno cercando di spingere il prezzo più in alto sui grafici.

Il primo segno di resistenza ha indebolito il già debole slancio di questi compratori, e lo stesso ha contribuito a una continuazione della tendenza al ribasso. Altri di questi sell-off potrebbero essere in arrivo per due motivi,

L’inizio della sessione asiatica

Indicatori On-chain di Bitcoin

Come accennato nell’articolo di ieri, Bitcoin era destinato ad una correzione e ad un retest dell’apertura annuale. Ora, gli indicatori on-chain, più precisamente l’indicatore Coinbase Premium di CryptoQuant, sta indicando altri cali per la criptovaluta pioniera del mercato.

Il „premio Coinbase“ è una metrica on-chain che è il rapporto tra il prezzo BTC/USD di Coinbase e il prezzo BTC/USDT di Binance. Questo rapporto aiuta a determinare se il BTC viene scambiato con un premio o meno.

Un premio elevato mette in evidenza gli alti afflussi spot e suggerisce che gli investitori vogliono comprare, quindi è un segnale rialzista. Al momento della stampa, nonostante il rimbalzo dal minimo annuale, questo premio non era aumentato ed era ancora in negativo, suggerendo che i venditori erano ancora in controllo del mercato e che il calo non era ancora finito.

Il CEO di CryptoQuant Ki Young Ju ha commentato anche questo premio, affermando,

„Era sempre sopra i +$50 quando BTC stava per rompere 20k, 30k, e 40k, il che significa che c’erano enormi afflussi spot da parte di individui con alto patrimonio netto e investitori istituzionali in Coinbase“.

Bitcoin: punto di vista tecnico

Come accennato in precedenza, la prima vista di resistenza è stata la linea mediana del canale parallelo. Un rifiuto qui imposta il prezzo per un altro tocco dell’apertura annuale a 28.956 dollari. Questo ha ulteriormente supportato la visione ribassista della metrica on-chain.

Un caso ribassista sarà la violazione del supporto immediato a $28.956, che aprirebbe il prezzo a cali fino a $20.000 in uno scenario estremamente ribassista.

Altri supporti che possono evitare che il prezzo scenda a 20.000 dollari includono la tasca di liquidità che va da 29.800 a 27.600 dollari. Dopo questo range c’è il livello del 50% di Fibonacci a 25.850 dollari, un livello che sembra essere la principale area di supporto e la prossima destinazione per il calo di Bitcoin.

La sessione asiatica

Le sessioni asiatiche che vanno dalle 23:00 GMT alle 8:00 GMT sono quelle in cui i trader dell’est iniziano a fare trading. Quindi, l’alta volatilità è solitamente sperimentata durante questo periodo. Inoltre, la sessione asiatica è nota per essere estremamente ribassista e la maggior parte dei cali avviene durante questa sessione.

Alla luce del fatto che il calo di ieri ha accompagnato la sessione statunitense, ci si può aspettare che Bitcoin scenda di più quando la sessione asiatica è in pieno svolgimento, sostenendo ulteriormente le prospettive ribassiste sui grafici.

2020 en revue : Les dix meilleurs articles de l’année sur les bitcoins et les cryptocurrences

L’année 2020 s’est avérée être l’une des plus importantes de la cryptoconférence. Ces reportages mettent en lumière les développements critiques de l’année.

1. PayPal introduit le commerce de la cryptographie

En octobre, après des mois de spéculation, PayPal a introduit la crypto pour acheter et vendre à 325 millions d’utilisateurs. Cet événement a marqué l’une des plus grandes histoires d’adoption dans l’histoire de la cryptographie. Bien que les fonctionnalités de PayPal soient actuellement limitées, la société prévoit d’en proposer davantage à l’avenir, de sorte que cette histoire pourrait continuer à attirer l’attention jusqu’en 2021.

2. Bitcoin atteint un nouveau record

Fin novembre, Bitcoin Bank a atteint un nouveau record de 19 800 dollars. Le prix de Bitcoin a fluctué depuis lors, ce qui fait que les investisseurs et les analystes ne savent pas si le prix va continuer à augmenter, ou s’il va s’effondrer comme il l’a fait lors du crash boursier de 2018. En tout cas, 19 800 dollars est le prix le plus élevé que Bitcoin ait atteint depuis décembre 2017.

3. Réduction de moitié des pièces de monnaie

Bitcoin a réduit de moitié ses récompenses minières en mai, ce qui a découragé l’exploitation minière et réduit l’inflation. Cette opération, qui a lieu tous les quatre ans, vise à maintenir les prix de Bitcoin à un niveau raisonnablement élevé en équilibrant l’offre et la demande. Combiné aux fluctuations des prix, cela aura un effet complexe sur l’industrie minière de Bitcoin, qui devra continuer à faire des bénéfices.

4. L’accident du jeudi noir

Entre février et avril 2020, le marché boursier mondial s’est effondré en raison de divers facteurs entourant la pandémie COVID-19 et la guerre des prix du pétrole entre la Russie et l’Arabie saoudite. Le 12 mars, un crash particulièrement dramatique s’est produit, qui s’est étendu au marché des cryptocurrences. Le prix des bitcoins a chuté d’environ 50 %, avec des prix aussi bas que 5 000 dollars. Bien que les prix des bitcoins se soient redressés, l’événement a suscité l’inquiétude des investisseurs.

5. Un hacker de Twitter vole des bitcoins

En juillet, un hacker a pris le contrôle des comptes de plusieurs utilisateurs vérifiés de Twitter, y compris ceux appartenant à des sociétés et des particuliers tels qu’Apple, Uber, Bill Gates et Jeff Bezos. Le hacker a mené l’attaque afin de tromper les utilisateurs et de les amener à envoyer Bitcoin à une promotion frauduleuse. Bien que la stratégie n’ait rapporté que très peu d’argent (un peu plus de 121 000 dollars), l’attaque est remarquable car une attaque plus dissimulée sur Twitter aurait pu avoir des effets plus importants sur la politique, les relations publiques et d’autres affaires.

6. Contrecoup de la base de données

Coinbase a été critiquée cette année pour sa décision de limiter l’activité politique de ses employés. L’entreprise a annoncé son intention de prendre une position apolitique en septembre, une décision qui a reçu beaucoup de réactions négatives. Fin novembre, le New York Times a publié un article critique sur le traitement des employés noirs par l’entreprise.

Sans rapport avec cela, la décision de Coinbase de fournir des outils de surveillance au gouvernement américain a également attiré la colère de la communauté des cryptographes, qui résiste à la traque. Tout cela a contribué à une mauvaise année pour l’image publique de Coinbase.

7. VISA à la recherche de nouvelles opportunités de crypto

En juillet, le géant des paiements VISA a affirmé son intention de régler les paiements cryptocurrentiels en travaillant avec les sociétés de la chaîne de distribution existantes telles que Coinbase et Fold. L’accueil réservé à cette nouvelle a été mitigé. Certains pensent que la participation de VISA aidera la cryptographie à être adoptée par le grand public. Cependant, les critiques font valoir que VISA pourrait ajouter un point de contrôle centralisé et interférer avec la liberté de dépenser que Bitcoin vise.

8. L’explosion de la DeFi

La quantité de cryptocurrences bloquées dans les applications de finance décentralisée (DeFi) a explosé à partir de cet été. La valeur totale bloquée dans l’ensemble des applications Ethereum a commencé à environ 700 millions de dollars début janvier. Aujourd’hui, en novembre, près de 15 milliards de dollars ont été déposés, ce qui représente une valeur vingt fois plus élevée. Avec le lancement d’Ethereum 2.0, DeFi pourrait devenir encore plus important grâce à des transactions plus rapides et des frais moins élevés.

9. L’écurie de la banque chinoise

La Banque populaire de Chine a progressivement travaillé au lancement d’un yuan numérique cette année. Bien que l’effort ne soit pas terminé, le sujet a été abordé plusieurs fois cette année. Les citoyens chinois ont notamment eu accès à ce jeton grâce à une loterie de 1,5 million de dollars en octobre. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas encore de date officielle de lancement, l’année prochaine, le pays pourrait lancer officiellement la pièce et la mettre à la disposition du grand public.

10. Le lancement de Facebook approche à grands pas

Enfin, le projet de cryptologie monétaire de Facebook est sur le point d’être lancé. Début décembre, le projet a été rebaptisé Diem (anciennement Libra) et a annoncé son intention de lancer sa monnaie stable soutenue par l’USD en janvier. Cette nouvelle intervient après un an et demi de troubles réglementaires. Néanmoins, la pièce Diem de Facebook marquera ce qui est indéniablement une étape importante : la première cryptocarte créée par une entreprise technologique des „Big Five“.

Bitcoin: it’s a record for price and market cap

We are starting to run out of adjectives to comment and describe the trend of Bitcoin that since mid-December has started a race that seems to know no more stops and that marks new records for price and market cap.

22 days have passed since December 16 when the price of Bitcoin broke the wall of 20,000 dollars, disintegrating the previous historical record. In this period as many as 14 days, i.e. more than half, have recorded new absolute records setting a rise from 18,000 to more than 37,000 USD, doubling the price of a Bitcoin in less than a month.

A trend greater than the previous dazzling rally between November and December 2017. A parallelism that day after day exalted the current rise relegating to memories what happened exactly three years ago.

The drop at the beginning of the week – January 4 – which saw the price of Bitcoin lose just under 20% in less than 24 hours causing a loss of over 6,300 USD, the worst daily descent in history, did not frighten investors who went back to buying again making the price rise.

A few minutes after the start of the day (calculated on the CET time zone of London+1) the price of Bitcoin marked a new all-time record at 37,720 USD, dragging behind the rise also of Ethereum, which updates the highest record of the last three years at 1,225 USD, as well as most of the Altcoins.

It’s a choral rise that shuffles the top ten capitalized charts. The head-to-head for third position between Ripple (XRP) and Litecoin (LTC) continues with XRP up more than 30% in less than 24 hours takes the podium of the day’s best, led by Stellar (XLM).

With a flight of over 60% and price one step away from 42 cents, the highest level since May 2018, Stellar rises to 10th position undermining Binance Coin (BNB).

Among the best shines Cardano (ADA) which recovers 35 cents on the dollar with a rise of more than 20% from yesterday morning’s levels, conquering for the first time the 5th position in the ranking, bypassing Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Not enough is the rise to 460 USD of BCH, which has gained just over 25% since the beginning of the year.

Bitcoin: the price brings the market cap to an all-time high

The rise of the last few hours raises the total market capitalization for the first time above $1 trillion. In one year – since January 1, 2020 – the market cap of the entire sector has multiplied five times.

Credit to Bitcoin, which occupies about 69% of the market share and a capitalization that in these hours reaches $700 billion, doubling the previous peak in December 2017.

The recent climb in the price of Ethereum pushes the capitalization to $135 billion, beyond the previous record reached in January 2018. Despite this, Ethereum’s market share loses a few decimals from its highest peak in two years of 14% recorded yesterday. XRP tries to rise again from last week’s quicksand, returning over 1.3%.

DeFi: TVL at $21 billion

Despite the number of tokens used as collateral continuing to be withdrawn from decentralized platforms, the increase in token value raises Total Value Locked (TVL) over $21 billion, a new record.

Leading Maker climbs above $4 billion for the first time in its history, sending MKR governance token quotes soaring above $1,200 USD, the highest level since the launch of quotes occurred in May 2018. Aave retains the second position followed by Uniswap which continues its head-to-head with Compound.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Third day on the rise for Bitcoin which registers a new all-time high just a step away from $38,000. It’s a rise that since Monday, Jan. 4, sees Bitcoin prices gain about 24% in 4 days.

The rise at the beginning of the day also coincided with some profit-taking that currently brings Bitcoin prices back below $36,500, without worrying the strong uptrend that has been characterizing Bitcoin’s performance since mid-December.

Volumes explode and yesterday they record the highest peak for exchanges on the main exchanges with over 13.3 billion dollars, an all-time record for exchanges in counter value in dollars. This marks the particular moment of Bitcoin that sees a smaller amount of Bitcoin change hands, for a countervalue that marks absolute historical records. In these first 6 days of 2021, January 1 alone saw trades below $10 billion.

On a technical level, Bitcoin prices are moving away from the first short-term support area that from $30,000 now moves to $32,600, the area of 25% of the Fibonacci retracement calculated from the mid-December minimum to the highs recorded a few hours ago.

Only a drop below this threshold would give a warning signal in the short term, while in the medium term the warning level is far away, which in these hours passes just below $29,000, an area more than 20% away from current levels.

Ethereum (ETH) price

The strong rise sees the price of Ethereum mark a vertical ascent from the lows of January 2, with the value gaining over 70% in five days bringing capitalizations back above $1,200 for the first time since late January 2018.

For Ethereum, the consolidation of the trend built in recent months is finding the explosion in these days with support levels in a medium to long term perspective increasingly distant. At the same time, this strong movement of these last 5 days, +75%, gives ETH ample room for movement in a short-term perspective, as happened in recent weeks for Bitcoin.

These strong movements should increase attention and caution for shocks that in an intraday perspective could develop even in double digits with greater evidence than what happened last Monday with a movement that saw prices fluctuate by more than 25% in just over two hours.

The current bullish structure definitely removes the risk of endangering the trend of medium to long term. The first warning signal would arrive with prices just over 700 dollars, a level about 50% away from the current quotations.

Palmeiras advisors are targets of attempted hacker attack asking for R$ 300,000 in Bitcoin

Palmeiras suffers an attempt at extortion with Bitcoin similar to that suffered by rival São Paulo in 2019.

Palmeiras board members are targets of attempted hacker attack for R$300,000 in BitcoinNOTÍCIAS
Board members of one of Brazil’s biggest football clubs, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, were the target of an attempted extortion with Bitcoins this week, according to Esporte Interativo.

According to the report, on Christmas Eve, December 24, 285 board members of the club received an e-mail requiring payment of R$ 1,050 in Bitcoin to prevent the leak of confidential information.

The hacker signed the e-mails as Edward Lorenz, the same pseudonym used in a similar attack on Palmeiras‘ rival in São Paulo’s capital, São Paulo Futebol Clube, in 2019.

The e-mail was entitled „Balanços e Documentos do Palmeiras“ (Balance Sheets and Documents of the Palmeiras), containing a list of the counselors‘ data, supposedly to attest that the hacker had gained access to sensitive documents.

In addition to requesting the payment of a ransom in Bitcoin, the criminal also indicated means to „exchange money for Bitcoin“, listing exchanges such as Mercado Bitcoin, Foxbit, LocalBitcoins, Coinbase, among others.

The indicated portfolio would have already been used for another Bitcoin scam, having received R$ 96,481 according to blockchain data.

The Palmeiras board says it will investigate the case and that it has already called the police. A message exchanged by the directors recommends that they do not open the e-mail and do not make any kind of deposit:

„Attention SEP Counsellor! We are suffering attacks from a blackmailer. Do not open any e-mail or file coming from Edward Lorenz and DO NOT DEPOSIT ANY MONEY!“

The pseudonym used by the hacker, Edward Lorenz, makes reference to the meteorologist who created the thesis of the „Butterfly Effect“ in the Chaos Theory, deceased in 2008. In the attack suffered by São Paulo on November 22, 2019, the criminal asked for payment of $ 1 million in total for the directors of the club, while in the case of alviverde the request comes close to $ 300,000 with all directors.

The year 2020 was marked by a series of ransomware attacks in Brazil and worldwide. In the most serious cases, the hackers got access to the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil, in addition to the Ministry of Health and the Superior Court of Justice.

Salausvaihto-jättiläinen Coinbase vihjaa julkiseen markkinointiin bitcoin-hintojen noustessa

Kun bitcoinin hinta nousee kaikkien aikojen korkeimpiin kohtiin, tunnetuin kryptovaluutanvaihto Coinbase on ilmoittanut aikomuksestaan ​​tulla julkiseksi.

Yhdysvaltain salausvaihtojätti Coinbase toimitti äskettäin rekisteröintiluonnoksen Arvopaperipörssi-komissiossa ja vahvisti huhutut suunnitelmat julkisen listautumisannin kanssa, jonka analyytikot arvioivat olevan arvoltaan jopa 28 miljardia dollaria. Coinbase ilmoitti jättäneensä rekisteröintilausuntoluonnoksen SEC: lle, mikä tasoitti tietä mahdolliselle alkutarjoukselle. Ilmoitus tulee siitä, että kiinnostus bitcoiniin ja muihin kryptovaluuttoihin on noussut uusille korkeuksille koronaviruspandemian aikana.

Coinbasen arvon odotetaan olevan noin 28 miljardia dollaria

Messari Crypto -tutkija Mira Christanto on sukelnut syvälle joihinkin salauspörssin liiketoiminta- ja kaupankäyntitietoihin ja saavuttanut potentiaalisen 28 miljardin dollarin arvon. Mirar Christanio totesi : „Coinbasen IPO-ilmoituksen jälkeen arvostamme yritystä 28 miljardiin dollariin. Coinbase on yksi merkittävimmistä pörsseistä, ja sen päivittäinen volyymi on miljardi dollaria 20.12. “ Tutkija lisäsi, että arvostuksen johtamiseen käytetty malli jakoi yrityksen liiketoimintasegmentit kaupankäyntimaksuilla, säilytyspalkkioilla, maksukorteilla ja muilla kriteereillä. Kaupankäyntimäärät tulevat ensisijaisesti institutionaalisilta asiakkailta, hän lisäsi, mutta keskimääräinen omistusosuus asiakasta kohden on 703 dollaria.

Bitcoin on edelleen kaikkien aikojen korkeimmillaan

Bitcoinin hinta on kaikkien aikojen korkeimmillaan sen jälkeen, kun johtava kryptovaluutta nousi keskiviikkona 20 000 dollarin esteen yläpuolelle ensimmäistä kertaa historiansa aikana. Kirjoitushetkellä bitcoin vaihtaa omistajaa hieman yli 23 000 dollaria. On olemassa useita tekijöitä, jotka auttoivat bitcoinia lisäämään uusia kaikkien aikojen korkeimpia kohtia. Institutionaalinen kiinnostus bitcoinia kohtaan on lisännyt vuotta suojauksena perinteisiä varoja vastaan. MicroStrategy, Bitwise ja Harmaasävy ovat kaikki nousussa investointien, hallinnoitavien varojen ja rahastojen osakekurssien suhteen, kun Bitcoin saavutti ennätyksellisen huippuhinnan tällä viikolla.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniack goes shitcoin with green blockchain project

Wozniack, the new crypto-green – That’s it! The rise in the price of bitcoin has reignited the hype around cryptocurrencies. Indeed, even the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniack, embarks on the creation of a cryptocurrency: the WOZX.

The revolution by Wozniack

The news broke over the weekend, with the publication of the EFFORCE project white paper .

This initiative was launched by Steve Wozniack , Jacopo Vanetti, Andrea Castiglione, Jacopo Visetti and the company AitherCO2.

Concretely, EFFORCE presents itself as a future platform for exchange on energy savings . It would give companies wishing to improve their energy performance the opportunity to finance these improvements.

Thus, users called “contributors” could ultimately finance projects aimed at minimizing the negative impacts of energy consumption. Subsequently, the savings made are supposed to be redistributed to the contributors in the form of tokens.

“ The platform brings together those who want to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings or industrial processes, with a group of contributors interested in reimbursement in tokens representing the energy savings achieved through efficiency improvement projects. “

In total, it looks like 1 billion Bitcoin Machine tokens will be created. A fifth of these tokens will be set aside to encourage participants to take part in the funding.

Project of the year… or shitcoin?

Obviously, when we read “energy saving” and “Wozniack” , we have something to be excited about by this project. However, behind the scenes is quite different.

Indeed, this one has everything of a good big old-style bullshit blockchain . First of all, the 54-page white paper (just that) explains many marketing aspects, but remains fairly elusive on the technical aspects .

Then, the project has for the moment been only listed on the HBTC exchange platform and soon on Bithumb , later this week . It therefore seems that Wozniack’s crypto is of little interest to giants, like Binance or Coinbase – even if this interest alone would have been far from meaning that a blank check was given to the project .

Finally, Steve Wozniack met with Justin Sun , CEO of Tron, to discuss the project earlier this year, which in and of itself means nothing concrete. However, we are familiar with Justin Sun’s practices, as well as his discussed personality. He is probably not the best person in the ecosystem to talk to when you claim to launch a “revolutionary” project.

Blockchain-puremat: Buterinin osuus, Googlen Bitcoin-haut, Squaren vilkas BTC-liiketoiminta

Cash App tuotti yli miljardin dollarin bitcoin-tuloja Squareille kolmannella vuosineljänneksellä. Vitalik Buterin lähetti 3 200 ETH Ethereum 2.0: n talletussopimukseen.

Google-hakutiedoissa näkyy vähän „FOMOa“ nykyisen markkinapullon keskellä

Cash App, Square-mobiilimaksupalvelu (Twitterin toimitusjohtajan Jack Dorseyn johdolla), tuotti 1,63 miljardia dollaria bitcoin-tuloja ja 32 miljoonaa dollaria Bitcoinissa (BTC, + 3,55%) Square-tuotosta vuoden 2020 kolmannen neljänneksen mukaan. yhtiön Q3-sijoittajakirjeeseen. Tämä on 11 kertaa enemmän bitcoin-tuloja kuin Q2: n 875 miljoonaa dollaria, kun Square voitti 17 miljoonaa dollaria bitcoinin myynnistä. Silti Squaren bitcoin-liiketoiminnalla on suhteellisen kesyttäviä voittoja rahapalvelualalla, ja voittomarginaalit ovat ujo 2%. Ansaintapuhelussa Dorsey sanoi: „Uskomme, että [bitcoin] on Internetin äidinkieli ja auttaa ihmisiä menestymään ympäri maailmaa ja taloutta.“

Buterinin osuus

Ethereumin perustaja Vitalik Buterin on lähettänyt 3200 eetteriä , arvoltaan noin 1,4 miljoonaa dollaria, Ethereum 2.0: n äskettäin käynnistettyyn talletussopimukseen. Ethereum 2.0 etenee siirtymisessä osuuden todistamiseen, mikä etenee seuraavaan valmiusvaiheeseen, kun sopimukseen on liitetty 524 288 eetteriä. Talletussopimuksessa on nyt 38 693 eetteriä, arvoltaan noin 17 miljoonaa dollaria. Toimialajulkaisu TrustedNodes kertoo, että Buterinin “VB2” -osoite lähetti yhteensä 100 tapahtumaa.

Etelä-Korean VASP Financial Services Commission (FSC) hakee lakimuutoksia, jotka tekisivät pakolliseksi virtuaalisen omaisuuden palveluntarjoajien (yleensä varastonhoitajien, lompakon tarjoajien tai välittäjien) ilmoittaakseen asiakkaidensa nimet maassa . Muutos on osa suurempaa lakaista, joka vaikuttaa useimpiin rahapalveluihin (lahjakorteista sähköisesti rekisteröityihin osakkeisiin) rahanpesun estämiseksi. Hyväksynnän jälkeen VASP: n on käytettävä oikean nimisiä tilejä asiakkaiden kanssa käytävissä rahoitustapahtumissa ja toteutettava muita tietoturvatoimenpiteitä.

Identiteetti

Useat espanjalaiset yritykset, mukaan lukien Banco Santander, ovat ryhmitelleet kehittääkseen „itse hallinnoidun“ digitaalisen identiteetin järjestelmän, joka käyttää lohkoketjutekniikkaa. Organisaatio, Dalion, sanoi, että „turvallista ja luotettavaa“ henkilöllisyystodistusta voitaisiin käyttää autonvuokrauksessa, vakuutus- ja lainasovelluksissa sekä palvelujen tarjoajien rekisteröinnissä. Suunniteltu antamaan käyttäjille hallita henkilökohtaisia ​​tietoja, se myös virtaviivaistaa „tylsiä“ lomakkeiden täyttämistä toimittamalla automaattisesti pyytävän yksikön tarvitsemat validoidut tiedot. Käyttämällä Quorum-lohkoketjua ryhmä sanoi, että tiedot eivät ole muuttuneet. Järjestelmä voisi ottaa käyttöön toukokuussa 2021.

Changpeng Zhao: Bitcoin will never be stable

For a long time, the main debate within the crypto market has been the quality of Bitcoin as an active reserve of value.

Because, in order to be an efficient value refuge, one of the main characteristics that an asset must have is price stability. But although many believe that with its maturity Bitcoin will reach this stability, for Changpeng Zhao Bitcoin Future it will never be stable, as he commented in today’s Tweet:

Bitcoin Maturity Allows for Quick Recovery

Stability will not reach Bitcoin

One of the main characteristics of cryptomoney is its volatility. Thus, users of the crypt world are used to experiencing sudden increases and sharp drops from one moment to the next, in the price of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. This has made many critics consider crypto currencies as merely speculative financial products. With no real value to guide their price.

This isn’t the position of most crypto users, for whom the reason behind the instability of crypto currencies like Bitcoin is their immaturity. For, being a relatively new financial product, the amount of capital within its market is still limited. Therefore, the movements of large investors known as whales, end up having an inordinate influence on its price.
For Changpeng Zhao, the price of Bitcoin will never be stable. Source: CoindeskFor Changpeng Zhao, the price of Bitcoin will never be stable.

The natural conclusion of this argument is that when the Bitcoin market reaches sufficient maturity, it will also achieve stability in its price. However, not everyone agrees with this idea. Thus, Bitcoin CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao wrote through his Twitter account, assuring that BTC will never be a stable financial asset:

„Bitcoin will not be an asset of stable value against fiat. Get over it. And that’s a good thing.

This tweet would be a response to a message from Anthony Pompliano, in which crypto-influence ensures that more and more people will accept Bitcoin as a refuge of value. Clarifying, however, Changpeng Zhao, that the fact that Bitcoin isn’t considered an asset of value like gold isn’t necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, it could be an advantage for cryptomoney, providing it with greater flexibility.

Met Hashrate in the Clouds is Bitcoin Mining minder winstgevend dan ooit

A Race Toward Zero‘: Met Hashrate in the Clouds is Bitcoin Mining minder winstgevend dan ooit

De winstgevendheid van de Bitcoin-mijnbouw ligt in de kelder, met een historisch dieptepunt in 2020.
Omgekeerd is de hashrate van Bitcoin in de loop van 2020 sterk toegenomen, mede door de financiering van nieuwe hardware door mijnboerderijen om hun activiteiten een impuls te geven.
Bitcoin’s hasjraat heeft een duik genomen Bitcoin Revolution nu het natte seizoen in China ten einde loopt, maar de mijnbouwprofessionals voorspellen dat dit slechts tijdelijk zal zijn, en het heeft de winstmarges alleen maar verbeterd.

De winsten van de Bitcoin-mijnbouw zijn in 2020 op een dieptepunt gekomen.

Een groot deel van het jaar is de cryptografie minder winstgevend geweest voor de mijnbouw dan ooit tevoren. En dat komt omdat de collectieve hashrate van Bitcoin – of hoeveel rekenkracht er door het netwerk wordt gepulst – dit jaar tot opeenvolgende hoogtepunten is gestegen.

Volgens de Noord-Amerikaanse Bitcoin-mijnbouwbedrijf Luxor’s hashprijsindex halen mijnwerkers $0,096 uit elke terahash die ze produceren (voor de recente prijspiek was dit nog lager, namelijk ongeveer $0,08). Dit keer drie jaar geleden, konden de mijnwerkers verwachten om ruwweg $1.40 te maken. Hun inkomsten in oktober 2019, hoewel verschillende grootheden minder dan wat ze tijdens de marktmanie van 2017 binnenhaalden, waren nog steeds het dubbele van de huidige cashflows bij $0,16.

In 2020 produceerden de mijnwerkers ongeveer 90 exahashes per seconde (of 83.000.000.000.000.000 cryptografische getallen per seconde in een poging om nieuwe blokken te genereren). Nu produceren ze ongeveer 124 EH/s, na het raken van een all time high van 157 EH/s medio oktober.

Bitcoin-mijnbouw is een grondstoffenoorlog van uitputting, dus natuurlijk nemen de inkomstenmarges af in een jaar waarin Bitcoin’s hashrate explodeert. En ASIC-financiering zou grotendeels de schuld kunnen zijn.

De praktijk, waarbij grote operaties leningen kunnen afsluiten om hardware van de nieuwere generatie in bulk te bestellen, overspoelt het netwerk met nieuwe hashrate. De toename van hashrate heeft meer concurrentie betekend dan ooit voor de digitale goudkoorts – en met minder bits om rond te gaan, hebben kleine mijnwerkers moeite om het bij te houden.

Bitcoin’s hasjraat en de inkomsten uit de mijnbouw zijn omgekeerd evenredig.

Luxor Mining pool operator Ethan Vera vertelde CoinDesk dat de anemische mijnwerkersinkomsten een direct gevolg zijn van Bitcoin’s groeiende hashrate, de relatief stagnerende prijs en de lager dan gebruikelijke transactiekosten.

Volgens Luxor’s index ligt het 7-daagse hashrate gemiddelde momenteel op 124 exahashes per seconde, en Vera zei dat dit „grotendeels te wijten is aan het feit dat Bitmain S19’s en Whatsminer M30’s in grote hoeveelheden aan de markt worden geleverd“.

Het is natuurlijk niet ongebruikelijk dat de inkomsten van mijnwerkers dalen als hashrate verticaal gaat. Maar Bitcoin’s stellaire toename van hashrate in 2020, een toename van bijna 30% dit jaar, is het resultaat van versnelde investeringen in de industrie. Veel van deze groei komt voort uit ASIC-financiering, waarbij mijnwerkers leningen aangaan om de beste nieuwe-generatie mijnbouwapparatuur te kopen.

Il prezzo segue il tasso di hash“ – Il calo dei fondamentali Bitcoin può ritardare di $14K

Gli echi di giugno compaiono tra i minatori, ma anche il futuro potrebbe produrre un rimbalzo dei prezzi se la storia si ripeterà.

Bitcoin (BTC) potrebbe vedere un’ulteriore pressione al ribasso dei prezzi questa settimana, dato che la difficoltà della rete è destinata a diminuire maggiormente in cinque mesi.

I dati della risorsa dati BTC.com stima che la difficoltà diminuirà dell’8,3% al prossimo riadattamento automatico tra quattro giorni.

Difficoltà impostata per ripetere il riadattamento di giugno
La difficoltà mineraria è una misura essenziale della concorrenza tra i minatori nella ricerca di sussidi in blocco e, per estensione, della salute generale del settore minerario.

I riadattamenti automatici svolgono nel frattempo una funzione ancora più importante, permettendo alla Bitcoin di sostenersi indipendentemente dall’azione dei prezzi o da altre circostanze.

A giugno, la difficoltà è scesa del 9,3% a seguito di un precedente calo del 6,3%, che segna il culmine dello sconvolgimento dei minatori dopo l’evento del dimezzamento dei sussidi in blocco della Bitcoin a maggio.

Il dimezzamento ha ridotto il sussidio in blocco del 50%, producendo una dinamica di profitto drasticamente diversa per i minatori che operano con margini ristretti o con attrezzature più vecchie. I due aggiustamenti consecutivi al ribasso hanno aperto ancora una volta opportunità per i minatori meno efficienti, e la difficoltà è stata corretta verso l’alto di quasi il 15% in seguito.

L’ultimo calo, nel frattempo, è stato attribuito alla fine della cosiddetta „stagione idroelettrica“ per i minatori cinesi. Ciò avviene ogni ottobre, quando le precipitazioni nella provincia cinese del Sichuan si attenuano e l’energia idroelettrica più economica si prosciuga, facendo lievitare i costi.

Affermare l’ostacolo finale del prezzo di Bitcoin

L’effetto a catena, che arriva in un momento in cui Bitcoin ha provato e non è riuscito a rompere la resistenza di 14.000 dollari per la prima volta in quasi 18 mesi, può essere un ritiro più lungo da quel livello essenziale.

Come ha riferito il Cointelegraph, quasi nessun livello di resistenza tecnica è compreso tra i 14.000 dollari e il massimo storico di 20.000 dollari del Bitcoin a partire dal 2017.

Martedì, lo sviluppatore Matt Odell ha riassunto il processo su Twitter:

„La stagione delle piogge si è conclusa in Cina -> l’aumento dei prezzi dell’energia per l’energia idroelettrica -> il tasso di hashish è sceso mentre i minatori passavano a una potenza più economica -> i blocchi sono stati estratti meno frequentemente fino alla regolazione della difficoltà“.

Odell stava discutendo un altro risultato della riduzione dell’attività mineraria – le maggiori spese di transazione Bitcoin, che hanno raggiunto quasi il 200%.

Dopo giugno, l’azione dei prezzi è scesa lentamente in linea sia con le difficoltà che con il tasso di hashish della rete Bitcoin. In seguito, come hanno rilevato entrambe le metriche, il prezzo è tornato a salire, rafforzando una teoria popolare secondo la quale il prezzo segue i principi fondamentali e, in particolare, il tasso di hashish.

Zoomando, Lina Seiche, amministratore delegato del media outlet Bitcoin BTC Times, ha attirato l’attenzione sulla forza complessiva del tasso di hashish.

„Il tasso di hashish #Bitcoin è aumentato del 18% dalla terza metà, del 9.300% dalla seconda metà e del 554.000.000% dalla prima metà“, ha twittato questa settimana.
