Wale haben diesen Monat nach einer anhaltenden Akkumulationsperiode ihre BTC abgeladen.

Laut einem neuen Bericht des Krypto-Marktdatenaggregators Glassnode haben Bitcoin-Wale im Februar riesige Mengen an BTC abgeladen

Glassnode definiert jede Adresse, die zwischen 1.000 BTC und 10.000 BTC hält, als „Wal“, während „Buckelwale“ mehr als 10.000 BTC halten. Der Bericht ergab, dass die Zahl der Wale bis zum 5. Februar 2021 um mehr als 14% gestiegen ist.

Der Kaufrausch der Wale und Buckelwale erreichte im Januar ihren Höhepunkt, als sie 80.000 BTC im Wert von 3,84 Milliarden US-Dollar zu heutigen Preisen erreichten.

Aber seit Februar scheinen Wale und Buckelwale hohe Gewinne mitgenommen zu haben und 140.000 BTC abgeladen zu haben – das entspricht 6,72 Milliarden US-Dollar seit Monatsbeginn.

Die Daten zeigen eine umgekehrte Korrelation zwischen den Handelsaktivitäten von Walen und kleineren, aber immer noch sehr wohlhabenden Investoren. Glassnode stellte fest, dass „Delfine“ und „Haie“ – Geldbörsen mit einem Wert zwischen 100 BTC und 1.000 BTC – im Januar 95.000 BTC im Wert von 4,56 Mrd. USD verloren, im Februar jedoch einen Aufwärtstrend verzeichneten und seit Monatsbeginn insgesamt 117.000 Bitcoin (5,61 Mrd. USD) ansammelten ::

„Es ist wichtig zu beachten, wie sich die Angebotsänderungen für die Dolphin / Shark-Klasse (lila) und die Whale / Humpback-Klasse (grün) in Volumen und Form widerspiegeln. Wo eine Klasse ein zunehmendes Volumen sieht, sieht die andere ein abnehmendes Volumen (und umgekehrt). “

„Octopus“ und „Fish“ – Geldbörsen mit einem Bestand zwischen 10 und 100 BTC – haben ihre Bestände seit November 2020 konsequent entladen und in weniger als vier Monaten mehr als 128.000 Bitcoin oder 6,14 Milliarden US-Dollar verkauft

Der 20% BTC-Preisverfall in dieser Woche löste eine Menge Action für die Wale aus und wurde von einem cleveren Wal angeführt, der es schaffte, 156 Millionen Dollar auszuzahlen, bevor der Einbruch am Montag begann .

Die Befürchtungen eines weiteren Abwärtstrends könnten nicht aufkommen, da neue Untersuchungen der Handelsplattform CrossTower argumentieren, dass der institutionelle Kauf BTC langfristig über 50.000 USD halten wird.

La maggior parte delle monete alternative si dissanguano contro il bitcoin mentre BTC si dirige verso un nuovo record di tutti i tempi sopra i 51.000 dollari e aumenta il suo dominio sul mercato.

Bitcoin lo ha fatto di nuovo e ha dipinto un altro record di tutti i tempi, questa volta sopra i 51.000 dollari. La maggior parte delle altcoin sono cadute contro il loro leader, e BTC è riuscito ad aumentare il suo dominio di mercato a più del 62%.

L’ultimo ATH di Bitcoin sopra i $51K

Gli ultimi giorni sono stati abbastanza turbolenti per la criptovaluta principale, ma alla fine sono stati positivi. Proprio lunedì, il Bitcoin System si stava avvicinando agli ambiti $50.000, ma un brusco ritracciamento lo ha fatto scendere ad un minimo di $46.000.

Tuttavia, i tori hanno preso la carica da allora e hanno spinto l’asset verso nuovi massimi. Come riportato ieri, il bitcoin ha rotto sopra i 50.000 dollari per la prima volta in assoluto. Questo significa un nuovo massimo storico per la criptovaluta.

Tuttavia, il BTC non aveva ancora finito di stabilire record. Nelle ultime 24 ore, l’asset ha iniziato un’altra fase di rialzo, che ha portato a raggiungere 51.300 dollari (su Bitstamp) per un altro ATH.

Con questo aumento, la capitalizzazione di mercato totale di bitcoin ha superato i 950 miliardi di dollari, arrivando così a pochi centimetri dal toccare 1 trilione di dollari per la prima volta. Inoltre, BTC ha recuperato un po‘ del suo dominio di mercato recentemente perso. La metrica era scesa sotto il 61% pochi giorni fa, ma è aumentata al 62,2% al momento di scrivere queste righe.

Le alts cadono dietro al BTC

Mentre la maggior parte delle monete alternative stavano registrando guadagni ultimamente, si sono arenate contro BTC durante l’impressionante rally di quest’ultimo nelle ultime 24 ore.

Come accennato in precedenza, BTC ha aumentato il suo dominio, che è un risultato diretto dell’emorragia di altcoins rispetto alla criptovaluta primaria. Ethereum, Cardano, Binance Coin e Bitcoin Cash sono in calo di circa il 5% rispetto al BTC, mentre Chainlink e XRP hanno perso più dell’8%.

La situazione tra la maggior parte delle altcoin a bassa e media capitalizzazione è piuttosto simile. Compound (-14%), Elrond (-13%), Fantom (-13%), Reserve Rights (-13%), SushiSwap (-13%), Algorand (-12,5%), THORChain (-12%) e Siacoin (-12%) hanno tutti perso percentuali a due cifre rispetto al bitcoin.

I guadagni di BTC hanno aiutato il market cap a rimanere sopra gli ambiti 1,5 trilioni di dollari, nonostante i cali di prezzo tra la maggior parte delle altcoin.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a statement on Donald Trump’s social media ban on Twitter. In it he criticizes the tech giants going it alone and sees an attack on freedom of expression.

In a Twitter thread, Vitalik Buterin condemned Donald Trump’s ban on various social media platforms

The US president was initially banned from Twitter for twelve hours after the indirect call to storm the Capitol. Then the temporary ban became a permanent one. Other social networks such as YouTube, Reddit or Facebook followed Twitter’s example and also removed Trump from their platforms. Buterin is critical of this step. The uproar in Washington was terrible and people who still supported Donald Trump were crazy. Nevertheless, the Ethereum co-founder wants to get rid of a few things that „have not yet been addressed“.

He finds it frightening that people who would normally never support such corporate power are now cheering tech CEOs who defied democratically elected officials. This requires a certain amount of self-examination. According to Vitalik Buterin, the Twitter ban is an asset for the separation of powers, as two centers of power ensure that if one breaks, the other can step in for the failure. He was bothered by the fact that Jack Dorsey, who was not elected by vote, violated the principles of liberal democracy.

After Trump was blocked, Twitter published a statement in which the short message service justified its action. The Ethereum co-founder took this up and wrote:

There are huge flaws in jacktatorship today. A big one is: You (the measure, editor’s note) is not “legal” enough. The Twitter Safety Supreme Court opinion is frankly poorly argued and reads like an ex-post justification.

Credible neutrality as a solution?

As a solution, Vitalik linked Buterin to a website that proposes the concept of “credible neutrality”. According to this, a mechanism would try to treat all participants fairly, although this is not always easy as people’s needs are different. However, it is not enough just to have such a system. It is also crucial to convince people of the fairness of the mechanism.

BCH napotyka opór na zamknięciu powyżej poziomu 525 USD.

Wydaje się, że cena Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ) znalazła silny poziom wsparcia, aby rozpocząć zwyżkowy trend. Dziś cena przekroczyła dziś poziom 500 USD i osiągnęła poziom 510 USD, na którym obecnie się znajduje.

Szerszy nastrój na rynku kryptowalut pozostaje zwyżkowy, ale w przypadku kilku aktywów ceny odnotowały niewielkie zniesienie w stosunku do ceny otwarcia z dnia

Bitcoin Cash rozpoczął rok z niewielkim lub zerowym rozmachem po obu stronach, ponieważ cena skonsolidowała się na poziomie 350 USD. Cena nadal oscylowała wokół znaku przez kilka dni, aż do 3 stycznia, kiedy cena Bitcoin Cash przekroczyła granicę 375 USD.

Kupujący zainicjowali rajd byków, w wyniku którego cena spadła z 350 USD do poziomu 425 USD. BCH zanotował korektę na poziomie, który spowodował powrót ceny do poziomu 400 USD. Cena zapoczątkowała kolejny wzrost byków 5 stycznia, choć z mniejszym gradientem.

Drugi rajd byków pozwolił BCH opuścić poziom 400 USD i wspiąć się powyżej poziomu 450 USD. Jednak cena nie zdołała zamknąć się powyżej znaku 450 USD i powróciła do poziomu wsparcia na 425 USD. Kurs utrzymywał się blisko poziomu do dzisiaj, kiedy rynki BCH w końcu ponownie odnotowały silny wzrost.

BCH wzrósł z poziomu 425 USD do poziomu powyżej 500 USD przy silnym zwyżkowym tempie. Cena wzrosła powyżej poziomu 520 USD i w momencie publikacji osiągnęła 523,44 USD.

Wskaźniki techniczne i czego się spodziewać po cenie Bitcoin Cash

Biorąc pod uwagę wskaźniki techniczne, MACD wykazuje zwyżkowe odwrócenie, gdy 12-dniowa EMA rośnie powyżej 26-dniowej EMA. Wraz ze wzrostem rozmiarów zielonych świec wskaźnik będzie nadal stawał się coraz bardziej zwyżkowy. Wskaźnik obecnie wykazuje zwyżkę na rynkach.

RSI stale rośnie i przekroczył poziom 70,00. Sugeruje to, że jest mało miejsca na natychmiastowy ruch w górę. Jeśli BCH będzie nadal rosnąć w tym tempie, cena Bitcoin Cash może ulec kolejnej korekcie.

Ogólnie 18 z 28 głównych wskaźników technicznych emituje sygnał kupna, podczas gdy tylko trzy wskaźniki dają sygnał sprzedaży. W międzyczasie siedem wskaźników pozostaje neutralnych, nie dając wsparcia żadnej ze stron.

Wstęgi Bollingera obecnie się rozwijają, co sugeruje wzrost zmienności cen Bitcoin Cash w perspektywie krótkoterminowej.

Bitcoin’s actieve adressen, handelsvolumes nu op All-Time Highs

De handelsvolumes en actieve adressen voor bitcoin hebben nu hun eerdere hoogtepunten van alle tijden overtroffen tijdens de laatste crypto bull run in 2017, en de gegevens hebben sommige analisten het vertrouwen gegeven dat de bullmarkt voor bitcoin nog niet voorbij is. Uit gegevens van CryptoCompare blijkt dat de bitcoin-handelsvolumes op CoronaMillionaire de acht belangrijkste beurzen die op de CoinDesk 20 zijn gevolgd, een nieuwe recordhoogte van de vorige recordhoeveelheid in 2017 hebben overschreden.

„Dit is in de eerste plaats een teken van hoeveel groter en volwassen de industrie is, met veel meer geld dat op deze beurzen stroomt,“ vertelde Bendik Norheim Schei, hoofd van het onderzoek bij Arcane Research, CoinDesk. „Het is geweldig om hogere volumes te zien, waardoor de markt meer liquide en efficiënt wordt.“

Het stijgende volume als gevolg van de uitverkoop van maandag kwam voor een deel door nieuwkomers op de markt, volgens Schei.

„Een deel van dit volume is zeker afkomstig van nieuwe en onervaren beleggers die voor het eerst de markt betreden en in paniek raken als de prijs begint te dalen,“ zei hij. „Deze correcties zijn noodzakelijk en gezond, zelfs in een stierenmarkt.“

Tegelijkertijd heeft het aantal actieve bitcoin-adressen zijn vorige record op 8 januari gebroken, volgens gegevens van Glassnode

„Op het hoogste punt vorige week waren meer dan 1,3 miljoen bitcoin-adressen actief in één dag,“ schreef de on-chain data analytics firma in haar wekelijkse marktrapport over 11 januari. „,,Deze voortdurende piek wijst op een indrukwekkend niveau van nieuwe goedkeuring en activiteit voor bitcoin, en stelt voor dat het aantal marktdeelnemers in het netwerk hoger kan zijn dan ooit voordien“.
De prijs van Bitcoin werd verhandeld op $34.011,89, volgens de BPI van de CoinDesk, een daling van 11,10% in de afgelopen 24 uur.

Sommigen zeiden dat de laatste marktverkoop te wijten was aan enkele winstnemingen op korte termijn door institutionele beleggers, nadat de prijzen in de afgelopen week te hoog waren geworden.
Velen hebben gezegd dat de stierloop van de bitcoin sinds 2020 grotendeels is geleid door traditionele instellingen in Noord-Amerika, wat blijkt uit de significante groei op de termijnmarkt van de bitcoin op de CME, die voornamelijk institutionele beleggers bedient.

The number of active Bitcoin addresses increased by 105% in 2020.

This is part of a historic year for the price of Bitcoin as it reaches new and unprecedented highs.

Bitcoin is experiencing growth in adoption among retail and institutional investors.

The Trust Project is an international consortium of media organizations based on transparency standards.

According to Coin Metrics, a data analysis and cryptomarketing company, the number of active Bitcoin Trader software addresses increased by 105% in 2020.

While many celebrated the three-fold increase in Bitcoin’s share price this year, other important measures went largely unnoticed.

Aggregated in Coin Metric’s „State of the Network 2020“ report, this price growth revealed a similar trend in exposure and usage.

Active Bitcoin portfolios more than doubled, a measure that shows continued user adoption. This number of new addresses used may indicate that new users are getting involved, as returning Bitcoin buyers do not necessarily need to create a new address.

Bitcoin’s Flagship Year

2020 has been a difficult year globally. The VIDOC-19 pandemic caused massive economic uncertainty, inflation and other problems.

Following the financial crisis of 2008, Satoshi Nakomoto created Bitcoin so that governments would no longer have singular control over the monetary system. Perhaps a year like 2020 highlights why this is important.

There are a variety of factors that have contributed to the solidification of Bitcoin as a reserve and transfer of value, as well as a hedge against inflation. One example is the enormous amount of money printed by the U.S. government.

The U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency, which means that many central banks around the world hold USD in their reserves. Due to economic uncertainty, increased spending and other factors, the Federal Reserve has embarked on a dollar printing frenzy, printing more than one-third of all U.S. dollars that ever existed in 2020.

Some companies that hold U.S. dollars as the majority of their reserves took note and decided it was time to act and diversify into other assets.

With Bitcoin’s predetermined supply and the amount of corners in circulation, many users, both commercial and institutional, began to view Bitcoin as a more common hedge against inflation.

Traditionally, companies would invest in precious metals or real estate to hedge against inflation, but Bitcoin has many principles that can make it a superior store of value in many ways.

Positive Correlation

Bitcoin was designed to act this way, with characteristics of silver such as durability, portability, divisibility, uniformity and limited incorporation to make Bitcoin a healthier currency than its contemporaries.

It is undeniable that the drastic increase in Bitcoin prices has a major impact on the number of users who create and use their new Bitcoin portfolio. That said, the fact that so many new addresses have been created indicates a more widespread adoption.

While it is possible to create unique portfolio addresses to anonymize holdings, many users are probably creating and using these portfolios for the first time. This is a strong signal of Bitcoin’s fundamental growth.

Despite the long lead time, Alex Mashinsky is still optimistic about the future switch to ETH 2.0.

Ethereum 2.0 recently put its beacon chain into operation, completing phase 0 of the Ethereum project’s scaling efforts

Although Alex Mashinsky, CEO and founder of the crypto company Celsius, is confident that Eth2 will be successful, he warns that there must be rapid and significant progress in scalability so that the smart contract platform does not lose its market dominance.

„Ethereum now has to prove that it can scale its transactions 100 times without losing security and decentralization,“ as Mashinsky told Cointelegraph accordingly. And further: „If it doesn’t make it, Cardano and Polkadot will strike.“

At the time of going to press, the Ethereum network is doing 13 transactions per second, according to data from Blockchair. A hundredfold increase would mean a speed of 1,300 transactions per second.

Ethereum is currently the first point of contact for developers who build decentralized apps (DApps), as the blockchain network offers the best conditions for their operation. The decentralized financial services (DeFi), which became a real hype in 2020, are also predominantly based on Ethereum . DApps and DeFi have dramatically increased the use of the blockchain network, which is why transaction fees have recently soared to dizzying heights . However, it is not the increasing number of users that is the problem, because this is actually desired, but the lack of scalability of Ethereum.

With the upgrade to Ethereum 2.0, the blockchain network therefore wants to switch to the proof-of-stake consensus procedure, which enables significantly better scaling

Co-founder Vitalik Buterin is convinced that up to 100,000 transactions per second could be processed in the future.

The long-awaited upgrade, however, has been repeatedly postponed and has just successfully completed phase 0 this week. The founder of the wallet service MyEtherWallet suspects that the other phases could also take several years. Celsius boss Mashinsky does not want to make a forecast for the duration until the full introduction, despite any lengths he is still optimistic about the upgrade.

“I am absolutely convinced of ETH 2.0, even if it takes longer than expected to scale up and eliminate all errors,” says Mashinsky.

The price of the Ethereum cryptocurrency Ether ( ETH ), which currently amounts to just under 590 US dollars, could already be massively affected by the upcoming upgrade in the run-up to the changeover. In the course of phase 0, all participating users had to freeze 32 ETH each in order to provide the 524,288 ETH required for the start of the beacon chain. Since the ETH funds concerned have to remain frozen until the start of phase 2, which may not take place for several years , there is an additional shortage of the cryptocurrency. This will probably increase the price, as Mashinsky also suspected:

“The more ETH is frozen for ETH 2.0 or stored in DeFi projects, the more there will be a shortage, which in combination with an increasing user base will ensure a higher rate. In addition, almost all decentralized crypto exchanges (DEX) are denominated in ETH, which is a great advantage for Ethereum. “
The completion of Phase 0 of Eth2 comes at a time when the entire crypto market is soaring. The market leader Bitcoin ( BTC ) was recently able to climb to a new record high , which has also given all other crypto currencies the slipstream for their own gains.

Blockchain technologies have long been attractive for established companies too, after which they are used as an enterprise variant.

With its enterprise solution, VMware takes special expectations into account

For years, many companies were rather skeptical of the topic of enterprise blockchain . Recently, however, these blockages have dissolved more and more, which is due to the fact that many providers dispel concerns about the security of the infrastructure and have been able to convince companies of the many advantages of the decentralized ecosystem. In a press release The cloud computing and blockchain provider VMware informs about its new offer of such an enterprise platform.

The commercial availability of the Immediate Edge app offers companies a digital basis for building business networks and providing elementary applications on a decentralized basis. The VMware Blockchain is also a scalable enterprise-class platform that makes data available for a secure, private and immediate workflow.

VMware has worked for several years to make this blockchain platform commercially available. Before that, it was already used in some special and extensive projects. One of them was the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) ’s CHESS settlement solution. Originally, the operators relied on the blockchain from Digital Asset. But now one falls back on the ledger from VMware, using the smart contract protocol DAML from Digital Asset.

We have focused on building an enterprise-class blockchain platform that meets the most stringent application requirements of the financial services industry […] that require reliable, high-performance blockchain services.

VMware has to hold its own against strong competition

Even if solutions in the field of enterprise blockchain are still new territory for many interested parties, the listed company VMware is already facing some competition with its offer. First and foremost, there is certainly the Hyperledger Fabric project . Its biggest sponsor, IBM, is certainly not what one calls a small IT dumpster. Ethereum and Corda’s R3 consortium are also shaking up the market. The question of how VMware would like to gain a foothold seems entirely justified. The company emphasizes that it will serve the very important and fundamental expectations of its clientele. Expandability, security, data protection, performance and scalability are definitely in focus.

The software is easy to implement, manage and update and also offers first-class support. The latter point is noteworthy. Product support is an extremely important point for the company’s blockchain. However, neither IBM nor R3 are beginners in this area.

The developers of Ethereum Classic Labs and ChainSafe Systems have announced the launch of a new bridge between Ethereum Classic and Ethereum. Users will be able to exchange assets using the DAI sticklercoin.

The partnership aims to make the Decentralised Finance Sector (DeFi) more accessible to the ETC community.

The new tool uses a technology similar to renBTC: assets are blocked in smart contracts with an appropriate number of tokens.

The launch of the bridge managed by ChainSafe Crypto Bank Systems is scheduled for 18 November. Moving the DAI to the Ethereum Classic blockchain will allow users to access the third most popular token, after Tether and USDC, stablecoine used in DeFi applications.

„The bridge that facilitates the use of DAI advances our core mission of creating a level playing field when it comes to access to financial instruments worldwide,“ says ETC Labs.

Earlier, the developers of Ethereum Classic Labs decided to strengthen protection of the network against future attacks 51% by involving law enforcement agencies and regulators.
