Crypto Fact

The bitcoin price got hammered in 2018 amid the prolonged Crypto Winter, but many investment experts expect the volatility to subside in 2019, as institutional investors start entering the market. Some analysts believe bitcoin will re-emerge  — like the proverbial Phoenix rising from the ashes — on back of momentum created by institutional investors, the Australian Financial Review reported. “During the coming year we will see a gradual adoption from institutions,” said Henrik Andersson, chief investment officer of Apollo Capital Fund in Australia. “We have the first US university endowments investing in funds.” JPMorgan: Bitcoin Bears Scared Off Institutions Over the summer, the multi-billion-dollar endowments of Harvard, Yale, and Stanford stunned Wall Street after revealing that they had invested in cryptocurrencies. Because of the herd mentality of institutions, analysts say the move will likely trigger a chain reaction among other institutional inve...

  * Crypto has been through a lot in the past 12 months, and while the last year’s situation indicated that big things might happen, 2018 quickly crushed such hopes. On December 16th 2017, the  crypto space , led by Bitcoin itself, reached the heights that no one even imagined a few years earlier. Each Bitcoin was valued at $19,000, and the market was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The situation did not last, however, and the market crashed in early January 2018, bringing digital currencies back down. For months, Bitcoin was managing to resist the bear trend at around $6,400. However, this situation changed in mid-November, after the second market crash in 2018. The number one coin soon dropped down to $3,200, and many believed that this is only a beginning of a downward spiral that will take it all the way down to zero. However, that is when something happened, and the situation took an unexpected turn. On December 17, exactly one year after BTC hit $19,0...

This year has been full of its ups and downs, granted it seemed like mostly downs… but it's not been all bad; yes there have been tumultuous times and some quiet times but for the most part, there have been hopeful times… So without further adieu lets take a look back at the highlights of crypto 2018… (just in case, you know, you’ve been hiding under a rock all year) With a too big to fail attitude the market entered 2018 with a boom, and that, in retrospect, was precisely the problem. The space was overinflated with very little actual worth to back it up; a huge correction was incoming, and boy did it come… The media turned on crypto. Words such as “bubble”, “burst”, “bear”, “Ponzi scheme”, “rat poison”, and “freshly harvested baby brains” …  These were all thrown around, and most of them stuck; BTC quickly went from hero to zero, losing almost $13,000 in little over a month. In that time the prominent and well-respected money lending pl...

Wall Street giants are postponing their plans to more actively enter the crypto industry as the value of cryptocurrencies has fallen, Bloomberg reports Sunday, Dec. 23. The article begins: "Limbo — that’s where to find Wall Street when it comes to cryptocurrencies," and then focuses on the efforts in the crypto sphere this year made by banking giant Goldman Sachs, multinational financial services company Morgan Stanley, major banking conglomerate Citigroup Inc. and United Kingdom financial services provider Barclays PLC. According to people familiar with Goldman Sachs’ crypto business, the firm’s progress has been too slow to be noticeable. Moreover, the company’s crypto non-derivative funds have so far attracted only 20 clients, the unnamed sources told Bloomberg In addition, Justin Schmidt, hired to head digital assets division at Goldman Sachs, revealed in November that regulators were limiting his plans. However, Bloomberg’s unnamed interlocutor ad...

FOMO Moments : Crypto markets rallying once again; Ethereum, XRP and NEO leading the way. The Santa crypto rally has continued for the day before Christmas. The minor pullback on Saturday was just that, minor, and things have moved upwards again as cryptocurrencies make further gains from their lowest levels of the year. Total market capitalization is back over $140 billion once again. Bitcoin held support at $4,000 after a brief period just below it on Saturday . It spent most of yesterday at the same level but has continued to climb this Monday morning to reach an intraday high of $4,270 a few hours ago. BTC is currently up 5% on the day to $4,240 and poised to make further gains. Ethereum has had a rare spurt of action and has shot up 16% on the day taking it to around $150. Since its lowest point of the year, just over a week ago, ETH has made a 75% recovery. It has closed the gap a little on XRP but that too has had a strong day with a similar gain taking ...

After the high note with which crypto ended 2017, 2018 has been a dour reminder that crypto markets remain unpredictable at best. From its peak at nearly $20,000 in December, bitcoin spent most of 2018 in a steady decline. Today, bitcoin’s price is closer to $3,000, and the tumble has caused a ripple effect that has affected every stakeholder in the market. Crypto miners, who rely on the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to remain high enough to stay profitable, are now left holding the bag in more ways than one: pricy mining rigs and GPUs worth thousands, and the bitcoin they’ve mined with these tools. Now that prices have remained solidly below break-even rates for several months, miners must reflect on whether they can continue bankrolling increasingly expensive operations or they should simply cut their losses and run. However, the simple cost of building these rigs—from purchasing and replacing parts to procuring good enough GPUs to be effective—makes...

Following the ICO boom in 2017, along with Bitcoin’s all time high of nearly $20k last December, the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry has gone down a rocky road. As the crypto world is full of surprises, it’s difficult to predict what’s in store for the future. Yet it’s interesting to hear what industry insiders and some of the biggest influencers in the space have to say about their expectations for the crypto and blockchain industry over the next 12 months and beyond. Cryptocurrency: I am sticking to my original prediction – Bitcoin will hit 250k by 2022.” – Tim Draper , American Venture Capitalist, Author, Founder of Draper Associates, DFJ and Draper University As one of the leading cryptocurrencies, Ether will see its price reach the $500 mark by mid 2019. The fact still remains that most blockchain projects across the world are being done in Ethereum. As its use cases increase and improve globally, we'll see it co...

   How do you get people to try out cryptocurrency when the market is in a prolonged slump? You can try giving it away. That’s what the makers of a little known digital currency, known as ZRX, are doing. In an initiative announced on Wednesday, users of the popular crypto exchange Coinbase can earn a few tokens of ZRX by watching videos and taking quizzes. Here’s a screenshot: No one is going to get rich watching the videos, however. A person at Coinbase familiar with the project said participants will earn roughly $3 worth of ZRX tokens, but added that the company expects to offer the same arrangement for other cryptocurrencies. “Traditionally, the two ways people get cryptocurrency are by mining or buying. Mining cryptocurrency typically means high setup costs and technical knowledge, while buying cryptocurrency requires disposable income to exchange for cryptocurrencies, which limits access. Earning cryptocurrency is a third option,” said Coinbase in b...

  As we begin to look towards 2019, the crypto and blockchain industry is still seeking a firm grasp on its identity. In a sense, the space could be best described as a chameleon, as its various properties and characteristics (such as consensus mechanisms, data kept on chain, and especially the level of decentralization), are to a certain degree malleable so as to enable customized offerings for a given purpose. This flexibility has served the industry well, and it has proven necessary in a number of situations in order to get initial buy-in from key stakeholders. Consider the following: It is difficult to imagine highly-regulated institutions such as banks trusting permissionless systems such as Bitcoin or Ethereum to handle AML/KYC data – at least at this point 2 nd layer scaling technologies such as Lightning Network introduce a degree of centralization to open systems, but this tradeoff is largely accepted to achieve the requisite throughput for certain p...

As part of its 12 Days of Consecutive Announcement , major cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has launched a new feature that allows investors to convert their cryptocurrencies into other digital assets, according to a company announcement on December 17, 2018. Called the “Convert,” the exchange claims the new feature is way cheaper than selling and buying a different digital asset, which is the process most investors go through. With this feature, customers would be able to convert between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and 0X, for the initial rollout.   So, a trader can directly convert Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash, rather than sell Bitcoin and then purchase Bitcoin Cash, which becomes two separate transactions with double fees. According to its pricing page , Coinbase would charge a spread of 1% for the conversion of digital assets on its platform. This fee is not fixed, as it could go higher or lower due to the volatility in th...

In December 2017, the market participants were eagerly waiting for the total crypto market capitalization to touch $1 trillion. Fast forward to December 2018, and the total market capitalization is struggling to hold on to the $100 billion mark. This shows the complete change in sentiment in the past one year: last year, it was fear of missing out and this year it is fear of losing all the money invested in cryptocurrencies. During extremes of the bull or the bear phase, the markets overshoot and undershoot the technical targets by a large margin. We believe that the decline has reached a panic state, which will end with a bottom formation, sooner than later. Therefore, investors who believe in the long-term potential of the asset class should be ready to invest once the decline ends. The downside risk from the current levels is limited while the upside potential is attractive. EOS/USD EOS ( EOS ) block producers are operating in negative margins and many...
