Oraclen, Teslan, Hewlett Packardin ja nyt myös Blockcapin kaltaiset teknologiayritykset muuttavat Austiniin, minkä vuoksi monet kutsuvat osavaltion pääkaupunkia Silicon Hillsiksi.

Blockcapin perjantaina antamassa ilmoituksessa kaivosyhtiö väitti

Pohjois-Amerikassa toimiva kryptokaivosyhtiö Blockcap ilmoitti viikonloppuna perustavansa uudet toimistot Austiniin, Texasiin.

Blockcapin perjantaina antamassa ilmoituksessa kaivosyhtiö väitti, että kun sen uudet tilat ovat toiminnassa Lone Star Staten pääkaupungissa, sen hashing-teho tulee olemaan noin 3,5 exahashia sekunnissa yhteensä 42 000 rigistä, mikä tiettävästi kaksinkertaistaa sen kyvyt. Lohkoketjutietojen mukaan tämä vastaisi yli 2 prosenttia koko Bitcoin-verkon (BTC) hashratesta, joka julkaisuhetkellä on noin 167 miljoonaa terahashia sekunnissa. Blockcap kuitenkin väittää, että sen koko laivasto vastaa vain 1 % verkon hashausvoimasta.

„Austin on kotipesämme, josta käsin jatkamme tehtäväämme ja tuomme tätä hienoa kaupunkia lähemmäs Yhdysvaltojen lohkoketjuteknologian ekosysteemin keskustaa“, sanoi Blockcapin puheenjohtaja ja perustaja Darin Feinstein. „Näemme kaupungin myös ihanteellisena paikkana, josta käsin voimme jatkaa toimintamme laajentamista, kun kasvamme sekä kansallisella että kansainvälisellä tasolla.“

Blockcap viittasi sähköautovalmistaja Teslaan, joka perustaa yhden „Gigafactorynsa“ Austiniin ilmoittaessaan muutosta. Teslan toimitusjohtaja ja miljardööri Elon Musk osti hiljattain Texasin osavaltion pääkaupungista yli kolmen miljoonan dollarin asunnon Austin-järven rannalta keskustan länsipuolelta, kun taas yritys on aloittamassa Gigafactoryn rakentamista itäpuolella lähempänä Austin-Bergstromin kansainvälistä lentokenttää.

Kaivosyhtiö ei heti vastannut kysymyksiin siitä

Kaivosyhtiö ei heti vastannut kysymyksiin siitä, mihin se aikoo perustaa toimistonsa Austinin alueelle tai kuinka monta työpaikkaa sen seurauksena syntyisi, vaikka Feinstein sanoi, että se „palkkaisi paikallisesti“. Musk sanoi viime kuussa twiitissään, että Giga Texasin uusi toimipiste toisi mukanaan yli 10 000 työpaikkaa, mikä lisäisi sähköautoja valmistavan yrityksen työntekijöiden määrää tehokkaasti yli 14 prosentilla.

Vaikka jotkut teknologiayritykset, kuten Oracle ja Hewlett Packard, ovat muuttamassa Austiniin – mikä saa monet kutsumaan kaupunkia „Silicon Hillsiksi“, viitaten Piilaaksoon – osavaltion pääkaupungista on tullut monella tapaa Yhdysvaltain asuntomarkkinoiden mikrokosmos. Monet näiden yritysten työntekijät saattavat nähdä, että kaikki käteisostajat ostavat asuntoja, jolloin ne eivät ole niiden saatavilla, joilla on vain 20 prosentin käsirahan säästämiseen tarvittavat taloudelliset resurssit. Musk korosti Austinin asuntojen puutetta 4. huhtikuuta lähettämässään twiitissä, jolla hän ilmeisesti viittasi Teslan työntekijöiden siirtymiseen sinne.

Blockcapin ja muiden lohkoketjuyritysten tuloa Lone Star Stateen tukee kuitenkin Texasin entinen kuvernööri Rick Perry, republikaanipoliitikko, joka kerran tunnetusti unohti energiaministeriön nimen liittovaltion virastona, jonka hän poistaisi, jos hänet valittaisiin presidentiksi.

Perry väitti, että Texasista oli „tullut ensisijainen sijaintipaikka lohkoketjun kaltaisille tulevaisuuteen suuntautuville teollisuudenaloille“ ja että Blockcap todennäköisesti johtaisi työpaikkojen luomiseen ja talouskasvuun osavaltiossa.

Vuonna 2020 lohkoketjuveteraanien ryhmä perustama Blockcap valvoo nyt noin 12 000 kaivoslaitteistoa, jotka tuottavat päivittäin yli 7 BTC:tä eli 416 550 dollaria julkaisuhetkellä. Yhtiö keräsi yli 75 miljoonaa dollaria kahdessa rahoituskierroksessa, joita johtivat Off The Chain Capital ja Foundry Digital. Blockcapin mukaan yritys hankki hiljattain yli 500 miljoonan dollarin arvosta Bitcoin-louhintakoneita.

Twitter-Promi Dave Portnoy, der seinen Bitcoin bei $11.000 im letzten August abgestoßen hat, bereut nun seine Entscheidung und wartet auf einen guten Preis, um wieder in BTC einzusteigen.

Gründer von Barstool Sports und Davey Day Trader Global, Twitter Berühmtheit Dave Portnoy, hat ein Video aufgenommen, in dem er seinen Fehler des Verkaufs seiner Bitcoin im August letzten Jahres zugegeben hat.

Portnoy sagt, dass er auf einen richtigen Einbruch von Bitcoin wartet, um wieder einzusteigen. Außerdem, er teilte den Grund, die ihn aus der Krypto in erster Linie bekommen gemacht.

Hören Sie, ich weiß, ich war falsch über #Bitcoin. Und ich liebe die #BTC-Leute. Ich wünschte, ich wäre dabei. Aber ich brauche einen Preis, den ich vertragen kann, um wieder einzusteigen #DDTG @Blockfolio

„Ich brauche einen Preis, den ich verkraften kann, um wieder einzusteigen“

Als er sich in dem Video an die Krypto-Community wandte, gab Dave Portnoy zu, dass er „Papierhände“ in Bitcoin hat, da er es so schnell verkauft hat, als der Preis im August 2020 knapp über $11.000 lag (im Gegensatz zu den „Diamantenhänden“ derjenigen, die BTC trotz unerwarteter Ereignisse auf dem Markt horten).

Er hat zugegeben, dass er Bitcoin damals nicht verstanden hat und seinen Vorrat an BTC, LINK und OXT kurz nach dem Kauf von BTC und diesen Altcoins im Wert von 200.000 $ entsorgt hat.

Portnoy hat sich darüber beschwert, dass Bitcoin zwischen $50.000 und $60.000 auf und ab geht und sagte, dass er wieder einsteigen möchte.

Aber er wartet auf einen Preis, den er „verkraften kann“, bevor er das Flaggschiff der Kryptowährung wieder kauft.

Portnoy knallt das Bitcoin-Gespräch der Winklevosses über Musk und Goldabbau auf Asteroiden

Der Barstool Sports-Chef sagte dem Publikum auch, dass er große Bitcoiner liebt und erwähnte dabei insbesondere die Winklevoss-Zwillinge.

Allerdings erklärte er, dass der Vortrag, den sie ihm über Bitcoin gehalten haben – in dem Elon Musk plant, Gold auf Asteroiden abzubauen, wonach der Goldvorrat im Vergleich zu dem von Bitcoin unendlich sein wird – „Müll“ war.

Laut Portnoy ist dieses Gespräch über Elon Musk und den Abbau von Gold im Weltraum der Hauptgrund, warum er jetzt nicht in Bitcoin ist.

Os desenvolvedores estão mudando seus esforços para o DeFi, já que ele ocupa uma fatia maior do mercado de criptografia.

Os engenheiros e desenvolvedores de software estão lentamente mudando sua atenção de blockchains de camada um antes apelidados de ‚matadores de Ethereum‘ para o número cada vez maior de novos protocolos financeiros descentralizados.

Um relatório de tendências de desenvolvimento Blockchain de fevereiro pela empresa de capital de risco Outlier Ventures sugere que os desenvolvedores estão mudando seu foco de seus rivais Ethereum

As descobertas confirmam que, nos últimos doze meses, o Ethereum continua sendo o protocolo de blockchain mais ativamente desenvolvido, seguido pelo Cardano e pelo Bitcoin. Saltando para o quarto lugar no ano de seu lançamento público, está o projeto de armazenamento de arquivos descentralizado Filecoin.

O relatório observou que enquanto algumas novas plataformas, como Polkadot, Cosmos e Avalanche estão vendo um aumento na atividade do desenvolvedor, muitos dos concorrentes tradicionais do Ethereum estão vendo um declínio no desenvolvimento do núcleo.

“Ethereum killers Tron, EOS, Komodo e Qtum estão vendo uma diminuição nas métricas de desenvolvimento de núcleo.”

O relatório afirmou que as plataformas DeFi baseadas em Ethereum tomaram o espaço em 2020 e viram um aumento na atividade de desenvolvedor com Aave e Balancer mostrando o maior crescimento.

Além desses dois, os projetos mais ativos foram Maker, Gnosis e Synthetix, enquanto dois outros protocolos DeFi lançados recentemente também aumentaram em termos de atividade de desenvolvedor.

“SushiSwap e Yearn Finance, ambos lançados em 2020, cresceram rapidamente em direção e além da atividade de desenvolvimento e tamanho da maioria dos outros protocolos DeFi.”
Durante o auge do DeFi boom em meados de 2020, a pesquisa da Santiment revelou que as principais plataformas DeFi em termos de atividade de desenvolvimento eram Maker, Synthetix, Band Protocol e Augur.

DeFi não foi o único setor em crescimento, já que a atividade no NFT (token não fungível) e os projetos do Metaverso, como mundos virtuais, itens colecionáveis, jogos e criptografia também tiveram um aumento de interesse em todo o mercado.

O relatório observou que Decentraland tinha atividade de desenvolvimento em níveis semelhantes a algumas das principais tecnologias de blockchain, como Stellar e Algorand, e mais altas do que alguns dos protocolos DeFi mais populares, como Uniswap e Compound.

Para gerar os dados, os pesquisadores analisaram os repositórios e commits do Github, que é onde os desenvolvedores enviam atualizações de código, melhorias e propostas.

Ethereum ainda continua sendo o rei no geral, com 14% a mais de atividade de desenvolvedor do que seu rival mais próximo, Cardano, e quase o dobro do Bitcoin em termos de commits.

Bitcoin sale oltre i 33.000 dollari per la prima volta in assoluto

Il Bitcoin, la più grande moneta criptata del mondo, ha superato per la prima volta nella sua storia la soglia dei 30.000 dollari di sabato mattina e ha raggiunto i 33.000 dollari, prima di scendere sotto i 32.000 dollari nel tardo pomeriggio di sabato, mentre l’asset digitale continua la sua straordinaria ascesa.
In questa illustrazione fotografica, il Bitcoin dorato…

Fatti salienti

Bitcoin ha scambiato circa 10.000 dollari all’inizio di settembre del 2020 e non ha superato la soglia Bitcoin Era dei 20.000 dollari fino a tre settimane fa, il 16 dicembre.

• La crittovaluta ha poi superato i 28.000 dollari il giorno dopo Natale.
• È avanzata di quasi il 50% solo nel mese di dicembre e ha guadagnato quasi un altro 9% il sabato.
• La capitalizzazione della Bitcoin supera i 570 miliardi di dollari.

Critico capo:

„La storia ha un avvertimento per chi compra al nuovo massimo storico“, ha detto a Forbes il mese scorso via email l’autore finanziario Glen Goodman. „Mentre sono ottimista sulle prospettive a lungo termine per il bitcoin, quattro anni fa abbiamo avuto una situazione molto simile con il bitcoin che ha aperto nuovi orizzonti, ma solo due settimane dopo il suo prezzo è crollato di più di un terzo“.

Cosa tenere d’occhio:

Nicholas Pelecanos, capo del trading presso la società di crittovalutazione NEM, ha previsto che il Bitcoin potrebbe salire a 50.000 dollari entro San Valentino. A metà dicembre, Scott Minerd, chief investment officer di Guggenheim Investments, ha detto a Bloomberg che il Bitcoin „alla fine dovrebbe salire a circa 400.000 dollari“.

Background chiave:

Anche altre valute crittografiche, come l’etereum e il litecoin, hanno registrato guadagni di punti percentuali a tre cifre anche nel 2020. Uno dei fattori critici nella loro corsa al rialzo è stato l’aumento degli investimenti istituzionali nella valuta digitale da parte delle aziende consolidate. A novembre, il gestore di fondi britannico Ruffer Investment Management, che controlla più di 27 miliardi di dollari di attività, ha acquistato circa 745 milioni di dollari in Bitcoin. Il mese precedente, Paypal ha detto che avrebbe permesso ai clienti di acquistare, detenere e vendere valuta criptata direttamente dai loro conti PayPal. A dicembre, la Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ha acquistato 100 milioni di dollari di valuta criptata per il suo conto di investimento generale. „Mentre ci avviciniamo alla fine di quello che è stato un anno iconico per bitcoin, posso solo vedere una crescita più positiva nel 2021“, ha detto il mese scorso a Forbes l’amministratore delegato di bitcoin e di CoinCorner CoinCorner, Danny Scott, l’amministratore delegato di bitcoin e di criptocurrency exchange CoinCorner. Eppure, secondo Fortune, Bitcoin „ha una lunga storia di volatilità“ e „la maggior parte degli osservatori si aspetta un certo ridimensionamento“ di questo rally „prima o poi“. Il primo importante picco di prezzo del Bitcoin si è verificato nel 2017, salendo a circa 20.000 dollari per bitcoin, ma poi ha perso più dell’80% del suo valore nei 12 mesi successivi.

Wysiłki Bitcoina, aby odzyskać równowagę po dwutygodniowym spadku ceny, nie powiodły się, ponieważ zamknął się on w pobliżu psychologicznego węzła pullback.

Benchmarkowa kryptowaluta straciła swoje wcześniejsze zyski powyżej 34 000 dolarów, spadając aż o 6,83 procent, aby handlować na najniższym poziomie 31 990 dolarów. Po spadku poniżej 30.500 USD w poprzednich sesjach, kryptowaluta zyskała na wartości ponad 18 procent. Jednak większa presja sprzedaży w obszarze 34.000-36.000 USD ograniczyła zwyżki, pozostawiając cenę w chwiejnym przedziale.

Trójkąt zniżkujący

Wygląda na to, że Bitcoin rozpoczął formowanie serii niższych szczytów po ustanowieniu rekordowego szczytu w pobliżu 42 000 USD 8 stycznia. W międzyczasie, silniejszy sentyment kupna w przedziale 30.000-31.000 dolarów służył jako wsparcie. Ogólny zakres handlowy wyglądał jak Descending Triangle, niedźwiedzi wzór odwrócenia/kontynuacji uważany przez profesjonalnych traderów.

Bitcoin osuwa się po przetestowaniu oporu Descending Triangle.

W piątek o północy, Bitcoin Bank ponownie przetestował górną linię trendu trójkąta w celu wybicia, ale nie udało się. Nastąpiło cofnięcie, a cena spadła z powrotem – z obawą o ponowne przetestowanie dolnej linii trendu kanału. Szanse na to wzrosły jeszcze bardziej, gdy prezes CryptoQuant Ki-Young Ju ujawnił niedźwiedzi sygnał on-chain.

Analityk blockchain zauważył skok w tak zwanym Exchange Whale Ratio, reprezentującym 10 najlepszych transakcji bitcoinowych podzielonych przez całkowite wpływy. Jeśli wskaźnik pozostaje poniżej 85 procent, sygnalizuje to rynek byka. I odwrotnie, odczyt powyżej 85 procent ostrzega przed niedźwiedzim atakiem.

W piątek, Exchange Whale Ratio osiągnął ośmiomiesięczny szczyt, co doprowadziło pana Ju do stwierdzenia, że „BTC może mieć dużą czerwoną świecę, jeśli cena spadnie“.

„Powinno być poniżej 85%, jeśli ten bull-run jest legalny. W przeciwnym razie, prawdopodobnie będzie to pułapka na byki“ – dodał.

Cel cenowy dla Bitcoina na poziomie 20 tys. dolarów

Formacja trójkąta zniżkującego Bitcoina podpowiadała głębsze cofnięcie ceny, jeśli cena przełamie się poniżej poziomu wsparcia.

Z technicznego punktu widzenia, aktywa powinny spaść o maksymalną odległość pomiędzy górną i dolną linią trendu trójkąta po niedźwiedzim wybiciu. W przypadku Bitcoina, luka ta rozciąga się na 12 000 USD, co stawia kryptowalutę na drodze do spadku poniżej 20 000 USD w średnim terminie.

Niemniej jednak, dostosowanie dolnej linii trendu formacji trójkąta sprawia, że wygląda ona również jak trójkąt symetryczny, byczy wskaźnik w trendzie wzrostowym.

Układ Trójkąta Symetrycznego na Bitcoinie.

Wybicie powyżej górnej linii trendu, w połączeniu z wysokim wolumenem, spodziewa się wynieść cenę bitcoina powyżej 50 tysięcy dolarów w średnim terminie.

Hong Kong appears to be strengthening regulations on cryptomoney exchanges.

Proposed regulations targeting Hong Kong’s blockchain industry could have far-reaching consequences for the crypto-derivatives market, according to new research by Messari.io.

In a report released Wednesday, researcher Mira Christanto said the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which happens to be the dominant market for crypto currency futures trading, could be cracking down on unregulated exchanges as part of a broader push for greater governance.

The researcher cited a recent proposal by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, or SFC, that would require all cryptosecurity companies to be subject to anti-money laundering rules. This is a significant change Bitcoin Compass from only one year ago, when SFC announced that it would only regulate companies in the „securities“ space.

Previously, SFC only regulated assets that met the legal definition of securities or futures, a definition that excluded crypto-currencies.

Singapore’s leading bank launches crypto-currency trading and custody services
As Cointelegraph reported earlier this month, the Hong Kong government has proposed to bring all cryptoactives under the supervision of its securities regulator. The regulatory intention appears to be part of a global initiative to curb cryptoexchanges, possibly under the guise of money laundering concerns.

As Messari points out, Hong Kong is the most dominant player in the cryptomoney futures market. Almost three quarters (72%) of Ethereum futures (ETH) and 57% of Bitcoin futures (BTC) come from the Special Administrative Region.

Christanto said:

„Many people do not realise the role Hong Kong plays in global crypto space. Hong Kong is home to some of the largest companies and dominates the growing futures market“.
BSN International China integrates support for the Tezos network
Hong Kong is home to a large presence of cryptoexchanges and market services companies, including BitMEX, Bitfinex, Crypto.com and FTX. Exchanges such as OKEx, Huobi and Bybit maintain regional offices in the semi-autonomous city-state. Major industry players such as Tether, Cardano and EOS publisher block.one are also located in Hong Kong.

If the new proposal becomes law, companies that continue to operate without a license could face severe penalties. There is even the possibility of prison sentences for the executives of companies operating these platforms.

As Messari notes, to date, only two crypto-currency financial services companies have been licensed in Hong Kong.

While Ibovespa goes back more than 7% with uncertainties about the future of the economy in Brazil, Bitcoin beat record valuation reaching R$ 80 thousand in the country

In the last week of October Bitcoin price has skyrocketed all over the world and, specially in Brazil, due to the devaluation of the Real against the dollar the main cryptomoeda of the market has registered records of valuation reaching US$ 80 thousand.

However, in the same period, Ibovespa, has registered its worst performance falling more then 7%.

Investor who applied $ 1 thousand in savings has today $ 1,013 if had bought Bitcoin would have $ 2,732

According to iHub Investimentos founder partner, Paulo Cunha, since the beginning of the month the stock market came with a three weeks high sequence, reaching again the 100 thousand points mark.

However, in this last week of October, the scenario changed reaching the score of 93,771.60.
Bitcoin X Ibovespa

The last week of October saw Bitcoin start trading in the range of $ 73,000 on October 26, when BTC went from $ 73,686.

But on Saturday, 31, the cryptomoeda broke another record being traded above $ 80,000 for a short period and closing the day at $ 79,405.

The Ibovespa also fell strongly impacted by the commercial dollar which rose about 2%, with sale at $ 5.74, considered the highest value since May and playing even more uncertainties with the recovery of the economy in the country.

„The external scenario has contributed to the risk aversion increase and a possible new stop of the economy. This resulted, so far, in the worst week since March, besides one of the worst weeks of the second half of 2020“, explains Paulo Cunha.

Ibovespa

However, according to Cunha, in the case of Ibovespa, despite the concerns, the drop seems exaggerated and enters in contrast with the good balance sheets of companies that have been releasing results in Q3 (third half of 2020), above market expectations.

„Some investors have taken advantage of the moment to buy some papers at lower prices and the recommendation has been not to sell or alter in a significant way the portfolio,“ says Cunha.

The Vix Americano index, which measures the market volatility, has touched 40,00 points and this only happens when the market goes through stress moments. Therefore, it is a very uncertain moment and demands caution.

Falling Real makes Central Bank record dollar remittances to Brazil

On the other hand, the local stock market and the international funds linked to the shares continue to be indicated for investors with a moderate and aggressive profile.

„Some houses of analysis continue to project the stock market above 100 thousand points by the end of 2020. When dealing with the options market, for example, the capture is made in a stronger way the volatility of stocks. Some options have reached more than 500% in a few days amid the strong Ibovespa drop“, explains Paulo Cunha.

Bitcoin

In the case of Bitcoin, the expectation is of new highs that can take BTC to its highest historical value against the US dollar.

The charts indicate that the monthly Bitcoin price candle closed in October above US$ 13 thousand.

Four tips to facilitate the statement on Day Trade

This is the first time since December 2017 when BTC reached its historic high of US$20,000

For traders, a break above this mark indicates that there will be no resistance for BTC to reach US$ 20 thousand again.

Cathie Wood from Ark Invest is one of those who believe that the US$ 13 thousand break will be fundamental for a race „on the fly“ up to US$ 20 thousand.

„That $13,000 level is important because if we went through that, in technical terms, there would be very little resistance and we’d probably be back to the peaks we saw at the end of 2017 – so about $20,000 . Now, we’re not sure if that’s going to happen. We could be in a new trading range, just a little above the recent six to 10. Maybe we’re in the $10,000 to $13,000 range. However, a leak,“ he said.
