Altcoins steg højere, da Bitcoin-prisen genvandt $ 33.000 som support kun en dag før et rekord på 4 mia. $ BTC-futures udløb.

Bitcoin-prisen ser ud til at have vendt $ 32.000

Bitcoin (BTC) -prisen ser ud til at have vendt $ 32.000-niveauet tilbage for at støtte, da det bredere kryptokurrencymarked oplevede fornyet optimisme den 28. januar.

Data fra Cointelegraph Markets og TradingView viser, at BTC støt er steget højere i pris fra $ 31.000 til sin nuværende værdi på $ 33.400, en stigning på 9,5%.

Den mest bemærkelsesværdige vinder af dagen var Dogecoin (DOGE), der steg mere end 200%.

Den populære mememønt blev den seneste modtager af Reddit-samfundet på 3 millioner medlemmer bag den utrolige pumpe GameStop (GME), BlackBerry (BBY) og AMC Theatres (AMC), der skete i løbet af de sidste par dage. I de tidlige morgentimer den 28. januar tweetede en Twitter-konto ved navn WSB-formand:

Mange af jer taler om Dogecoin. Hvad er det? En meme-krypto?

Kort efter begyndte medlemmer i Wall Street Bets-telegrammet at diskutere muligheden for at skubbe DOGE til $ 1.

Ifølge data fra TheTIE overgik tweetvolumenet til Dogecoin „Bitcoin i løbet af de sidste 24 timer“, hvilket gjorde dette første gang registreret, at „et altcoin er blevet tweetet om mere end Bitcoin over en 24-timers periode.“

I en privat samtale med Cointelegraph kommenterede Joshua Frank, grundlægger af TheTIE, hvor „vild“ aktiviteten relateret til Dogecoin har været de sidste 24 timer.

Frank sagde:

“Dogecoin-tweetvolumen er steget med 1.665% i dag, dets handelsvolumen er steget med 1.546%, og dets pris er op med 209%”

Wall Street fortsætter med at omfavne kryptokurver

Coinbase afslørede officielt sin plan om at blive offentlig senere på året. Ifølge Coinbase Blog vil virksomheden foretage en direkte notering af sin klasse A-aktie og gøre eksisterende aktier tilgængelige for offentligheden.

North Carolina formueforvalter Kingfisher Capital skabte også overskrifter, efter at arkivering af dokumenter afslørede, at firmaet havde købt 10.667 aktier i Grayscale Bitcoin Trust i løbet af de sidste par måneder.

Flere mæglervirksomheder i USA, herunder den populære mobilbaserede Robinhood, får tilbageslag for at stoppe handel med aktier som GameStop (GME) og AMC Holdings Inc. (AMC), hvilket har været ugens primære historie efter en detailhandel investorinspireret kort pres fra medlemmer af Reddit-gruppen r / wallstretbets skubbede priserne på hver aktie op med hundreder af procent.

De traditionelle markeder oplevede også en hoppe efter en mindre udsalg i går. S&P 500, NASDAQ og Dow oplevede alle positive tilstrømninger og sluttede dagen op med henholdsvis 0,98%, 0,68% og 0,99%.

Bitcoins viser styrke på $ 32.000 faldt sammen med en stærk rally fra mange altcoins, og i øjeblikket afspejler flertallet af de 100 bedste mønter 3% til 15% gevinster.

Cosmos (ATOM) steg med 15,41%, Stellar (XLM) steg 13,91%, og forbindelse (COMP) tilføjede 14,21%. Ether (ETH) -prisen steg også med 5,96% og handles i øjeblikket til $ 1.355.

Den samlede markedsværdi for kryptokurrency ligger nu på $ 984,6 mia., Og Bitcoins dominansrate er 63,2%.

 

Denken Sie an 2017 zurück. Krypto war überall . Zu den Prominenten, die ICOs feilschen, gehörten DJ Khaled, „Floyd Crypto Mayweather“ und der langjährige Blockchain-Enthusiast Paris Hilton. Die meistgesehenen Komödie im Fernsehen, „Big Bang Theory , “ eine Episode namens „The Bitcoin Verschränkung.“ Long Island Iced Tea war der natürlichste Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Welt und wurde in Long Blockchain Corp. umbenannt. (Die Aktie stieg um 200%.)

Und nun? Grillen. Obwohl der Preis für Bitcoin alle fünf Minuten einen neuen Rekord zu brechen scheint und in weniger als einem Jahr von 4.000 auf 40.000 US-Dollar ausbricht, fühlt sich dieser Bullenlauf aus irgendeinem Grund anders an – nicht als Mainstream, nicht als besprochen, nicht als Paris Hilton-y.

Also ist es wirklich anders? Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, einen Bullenzyklus zu messen. Das offensichtlichste ist die Betrachtung des Preises, eine andere ist die Betrachtung der Häufigkeit von „Bitcoin“ bei Google-Suchanfragen und eine dritte die Bewertung der technischen und grundlegenden Metriken – intelligente Analysen der Nic Carters und Willy Woos der Welt .

Beginnen wir mit dem Kind

ich. „Ein ausgezeichnetes Jahr!“

Als Erik Finman 12 Jahre alt war, führte ihn sein älterer Bruder zu einem „sehr kühlen Protest“ in Washington, DC. Dies war im Jahr 2011. Finman bemerkte zufällig einen Mann, der ein orangefarbenes Hemd trug, das ein großes B in der Mitte hatte.

„Was ist das?“ fragte der 12-Jährige.

„Es ist Bitcoin, Mann. Es wird die Wall Street beenden, Bruder. “

Also hat sich der 12-Jährige mit dieser Bitcoin-Sache befasst. Er wurde neugierig und sein älterer Bruder auch. Seine Großmutter hatte ihm gerade 1.000 Dollar gegeben. (Sie dachte, sie hätte nicht mehr viel zu leben, also gab sie all ihren Enkelkindern Schecks.) Er versuchte, es zurückzugeben. Seine Oma würde es nicht nehmen. Der Scheck sollte für einen Stipendienfonds verwendet werden, aber stattdessen kaufte das Kind damit Bitcoin. Der Preis für jede Münze lag bei 10 US-Dollar, also kaufte er 100 Bitcoin. Danke, Oma. (Glücklicherweise hat sich ihre Gesundheit verbessert. „Sie ist jetzt tatsächlich meine einzige lebende Großeltern“, sagt Finman.)

„Bitcoin wurde zu einer Obsession“, erinnert sich Finman. Während der Rest seiner Freunde Call of Duty oder Pokemon mochte, beeilte sich der 12-Jährige, mehr BTC zu bekommen, und schrieb mit Fremden eine SMS, um zu kaufen und zu verkaufen. „Ich fühlte mich wie ein Wall Street Broker.“ Er würde schließlich über 400 Bitcoin zusammenschustern.

Sie kennen die Dotcom-Wunderkinder, die das College abbrechen? Das ist garnichts. Als Finman 15 war, brach er die High School ab. Seitdem half er bei der Gründung der Krypto-Zahlungsfirma Metal Pay , baute einen echten Dr. Octopus-Anzug (inspiriert von Spider-Man) und startete mit Taylor Swift einen Satelliten . (Es ist einfach, sich mit T Swift zu verbinden, sagt Finman. „IMDBPro listet jeden Agenten auf; es sind nur 30 US-Dollar pro Monat, und die Agenten überprüfen ihre E-Mails.“)

Während des rasenden Bullenlaufs 2017 konnten die Medien nicht genug vom Teenage Bitcoin Millionaire bekommen. Der Guardian fotografierte ihn auf einem Haufen Bargeld mit Sonnenbrille und einem Hundert-Dollar-Schein, der aus seinem Mund ragte. GQ deckte sein Streetware ab. Aber raten Sie mal, wer auch die Medien konsumiert? Hacker. Sie entdeckten ein reiches Ziel und holten sein digitales Gold. „Ich war krank im Magen“, sagt Finman. „Ich habe E-Mails erhalten, die mich zu töten drohten, wenn ich ihnen kein Bitcoin gab.“ Sie bedrohten auch seine Eltern und nannten sie sogar namentlich zusammen mit ihren Arbeitsadressen.

Bitcoin has been in a wild upward trend for the past few weeks, with every setback aggressively buying.

This brought fairly steady profits, and sellers were unable to gain real control over Bitcoin’s price action.

Bitcoin is setting new all-time highs today, its price is recovering above $ 25,000 – and BTC is showing little sign of slowing down any time soon.

One trader wrote in a tweet that he was paying close attention to BTC topping out as his rally heats up

He notes that it would not surprise him if the benchmark cryptocurrency corrected towards $ 19,000 in the next 5 weeks before resuming its growth trend.

Bitcoin has seen massive growth lately regardless of the rest of the crypto market. As BTC rises higher, most altcoins have seen notable losses that have left it unclear whether an „old season“ is imminent.

Chances are that the near-term development of the market will largely, if not entirely, depend on whether Ethereum can make up ground on Bitcoin News Trader.

At the moment, this seems like a somewhat distant event as the cryptocurrency has been bleeding against BTC for weeks.

However, one analyst now notes that Bitcoin could soon see a sharp correction. That could be exactly what the altcoins need to get some momentum going.

Bitcoin rises to new highs

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $ 25,750. This marks a massive surge from its daily low of $ 24,000 that was hit yesterday morning.

Where the crypto asset goes next will likely depend on whether it encounters strong resistance around $ 26,000. Since it is in pricing mode, the chances are it could just keep increasing daily.

Analyst: BTC is likely to see a major correction soon

Although the Bitcoin rally shows no signs of slowing down at the moment, one analyst believes a correction is imminent in the near future. He writes:

“I think the market is nearing a top for BTC. Early warning signs for me are that the duration of each consolidation is getting shorter and the rallies themselves shorter. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a 30% correction towards 19-20k in the next 4-5 weeks. „

The SEC has formally filed charges against Ripple and its two top executives.

The SEC alleges that Ripple and its officers sold $1.3 billion of unregistered securities by selling XRP.

CEO Brad Garlinghouse claims that XRP is a currency like Bitcoin and Ethereum and should not be regulated by the SEC.

The Trust Project is an international consortium of media Bitcoin Profit software organisations based on transparency standards.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially announced that it will file a complaint against Ripple Labs Inc, its co-founder and former CEO Christian Larsen, and current CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

The news comes after recent rumours that the SEC was preparing to file these charges, which Garlinghouse felt were unfair. The SEC accuses Ripple and associated parties of having raised more than $1.3 billion of funds through the sale of „ongoing digital asset offerings“.

In addition to attacking Ripple Labs Inc. for financing the organization through the sale of unregistered securities, the SEC is also attacking two of the company’s key executives.

Coming directly from the SEC’s official press release, the release states :

According to the complaint, in addition to structuring and promoting sales of XRP used to finance the company’s operations, Larsen and Garlinghouse also made unregistered personal sales of XRP totaling approximately $600 million.

The press release continued, with Stephanie Avakian, Director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division, commenting: „We allege that Ripple, Larsen and Garlinghouse failed to register their current offer and sale of billions of XRPs to retail investors, depriving potential purchasers of adequate information about XRPs and Ripple’s business. »

Chris Larsen Ripple XRP
The SEC in the hunt
The SEC has already been successful after cryptomonic companies for the sale of unregistered securities. Such examples include the Telegram TON token, Salt Blockchain, BitClave and BCOT.

The regulator is now focusing on the fourth largest cryptogram by market capitalization, XRP.

Since rumours began spreading the day before about a lawsuit against Ripple, XRP has seen its share price drop by 25%.

Garlinghouse said he thought XRP was a currency, not a security. He compared the token to Bitcoin and Ethereum, but the SEC disagreed. If XRP is considered a security, it will likely impose further regulatory restrictions and fines.

Ripple XRP Volume
What is Ripple and XRP?
XRP is a cryptographic currency created by Ripple Labs to serve as the native currency for its payment processing platform.

Ripple boasts faster and cheaper transactions compared to traditional payment processors. Essentially, XRP attempts to compete with Bitcoin and Ethereum as a store and transfer of value, but is working to present its platform as being in the process of being adopted by traditional financial institutions.

For example, the international banking conglomerate Santander has partnered with Ripple to develop one of its payment services for international payments, but this service could easily have been developed on a variety of less centralised blockchain platforms.

Ripple currently holds 55% of the outstanding supply of XRP, following the $1.3 billion raised from sales of the coin.

The Bitfinex exchange now allows its users to take out personal loans in cryptocurrency through a new dedicated service, Bitfinex Borrow. Verified users can get loans in Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and many other cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrency loans land on Bitfinex

The Bitfinex platform now offers the possibility for its users to take out loans in cryptocurrency. This service is offered through Bitfinex Borrow , a P2P platform that allows users to borrow funds from others using their cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies as collateral.

Access to Bitfinex Borrow is restricted to users whose identity has been verified . The higher the verification level, the greater the borrowing options.

There are many available cryptocurrencies, here is the list:

For the main cryptocurrency, namely BTC, borrowers can deposit US dollars, euros, Japanese yen and even Tether (USDT) as collateral. For an ETH loan, only the US dollar is currently accepted as collateral.

Regarding loan-to-value ratios, borrowers will be able to obtain loans in BTC corresponding to a maximum of 80% of the value of their holdings in dollars , euros or USDT. For the yen, the loan-to-value ratio will not exceed 70%. As for Ethers loans, the percentage may reach up to 80% of the funds deposited as collateral .

The annual percentage rate of charge (APR) for loans is particularly attractive and more advantageous than on other platforms. Bitfinex charges an annual interest rate of around 3.75% for BTC loans and around 1.22% for ETH loans .

The most advantageous rates are charged on DOT and EOS loans, these being only 0.1% and 0.01% at the time of writing, respectively.

How does the Bitfinex Borrow interface look?

For its new service, Bitfinex has made things as easy as possible. For example, let’s simulate borrowing 0.25 BTC on the platform .

On the screenshot below, Bitfinex tells me that I must first deposit 5,488 euros to borrow 0.25 BTC . A loan can be taken out over a period of 2 to 120 days .

For a loan with a period of 50 days, the daily interest rate here is 0.010270% . So I would have to repay the equivalent of 0.25128 BTC to the futures platform.

With Bitfinex Borrow, you can choose between a variable rate or a fixed rate loan. The interest charged for a variable rate loan changes throughout the life of the loan. This fluctuates according to supply and demand. The interest charged for a fixed rate loan is fixed for the entire term of the loan, and is not subject to any variation.

If you are interested in Bitfinex lending service, carefully read its terms of service first. Also note that this does not fit in the box of decentralized finance (DeFi), Bitfinex being a fully centralized platform.

Der Direktor von Twitch kam 11 Jahre zu spät, ist aber trotzdem stolz darauf, dass er dem Rest der Welt voraus ist.

Der Produktdirektor von Twitch – einer Spiele-Streaming-Plattform, die von Amazon kontrolliert wird – gab bekannt, dass er 25% seines Eigenkapitals in Bitcoin investiert hat. Der aktuelle Geschäftsführer von Twitch war bereits CEO eines sozialen Netzwerks namens Bebo.

Niemand möchte außen vor gelassen werden.

Der Tweet erhielt mehr als 3.000 Aufrufe, schließlich ist Shaan eine starke Persönlichkeit in der Gaming-Welt. Auf die Frage nach der Investition nannte der Unternehmer nicht viele Details. Er zeigte, dass er den Zweck und die Ideen hinter Bitcoin Up nicht versteht aber er erklärte, dass er einen einfachen Grund hat, auf Kryptomeda zu setzen: Er will den anderen voraus sein.

Wie andere Netzwerke wie Orkut und MySpace wurde auch Bebo schließlich vom Erfolg von Facebook überschattet und kam zu einem Ende.

Heute hat Shaan Puri die Position des Senior Product Manager bei Twitch inne. Er ist auch Unternehmer und Startup-Angel-Investor und wettet jedes Jahr etwa 2,5 Millionen Dollar auf Startups.

Auf Twitter berichtete er, dass er 25% seines Vermögens in Bitcoin investiert hat. Mit anderen Worten: 1/4 seiner Ersparnisse wurden in digitale Währung umgewandelt. Eine Wette, die bei großen Geschäftsleuten und Unternehmen im Trend liegt. Die Höhe der Investition wurde nicht bekannt gegeben.

Ich denke, es ist eine seltene Gelegenheit, eine Welle von institutionellem Kapital anzuführen, die in den nächsten 2 Jahren in BTC einsteigen wird.

Shaan Puri reiht sich in eine wachsende Liste von Technologieunternehmern ein, die Bitcoin im Jahr 2020 gekauft haben. Viele Großkonzerne (und viele Menschen) haben immer noch kein Kryptomeda, obwohl sie schon vor einigen Jahren davon gehört haben.

Wie in Livecoins berichtet, legt eine Studie nahe, dass nur 1,3% der Weltbevölkerung Bitcoin besitzt. Inzwischen investieren mehrere Investoren und Unternehmen massiv in das Asset.

Dies ist nur ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, dass die Nachfrage sprunghaft ansteigt und das Angebot sinkt. Der Twitter-Direktor kam 11 Jahre zu spät, ist aber trotzdem stolz darauf, dass er dem Rest der Welt voraus ist, schließlich sind weniger als 2 % der Weltbevölkerung für die Zukunft aufgewacht.

Not enough bitcoin for everyone? – The number of billionaires who reveal to hold Bitcoin (BTC) is growing every day. This time, it is the wealthy Mexican businessman, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who announces he owns BTC. He even promotes a maximalist book on Bitcoin .

A billionaire with 10% of his cash in BTC

Ricardo Salinas Pliego is the founder of Grupo Salinas , a group of companies covering, among others, the telecommunications , media and financial services sectors . His personal fortune was estimated at $ 13.2 billion as of February 2020.

In a tweet published on November 18, Ricardo Salinas Pliego begins by recommending a book on Bitcoin Code , which touts the creation of Satoshi Nakamoto as „a decentralized alternative to central banks . “

At the end of his post, he also reveals a barely believable fact. The third richest man in Mexico would trust Bitcoin, to the point of placing a large chunk of his cash there:

“(…) Bitcoin protects citizens against theft from governments. Many people ask me if I have bitcoins YES! I invested 10% of my cash portfolio in it. “

By comparison, billionaire Paul Tudor Jones admitted to owning “only” 1 to 2% of his assets in bitcoins.

Fiduciary currencies are worth „nothing“

In another tweet , Ricardo Salinas Pliego specifies that he has not „rushed“ recently to Bitcoin, but that it is a long-term investment , started with the Grayscale fund in 2016 . He started his crypto investments with a BTC at $ 800 .

In addition, he explains that the remaining 90% of his liquidity portfolio is placed in precious metal mines .

The billionaire seems to be looking for safe havens in the face of his fears for fiat currencies . In a tweet preceding his revelations about his crypto-investments, the businessman openly criticized state currencies. In this case, showing whole bags of banknotes thrown in the garbage (probably in Venezuela):

“(…) I am sharing with you a video taken in a Latin American country, where banks throw money in the trash (paper money is worth nothing). That is why it is always good to diversify our investment portfolio. It is theft by inflation. „

Czek stymulacyjny w wysokości 1200 USD, który został przekazany obywatelom USA jako środek pomocy w walce z pandemią COVID-19, byłby teraz wart prawie 3000 USD, gdyby został zainwestowany w BTC.

Minęło mniej więcej siedem miesięcy, odkąd rząd USA wysłał do wielu obywateli pierwsze czeki stymulacyjne o wartości 1200 dolarów. Co ciekawe, kwota ta byłaby teraz warta prawie 3000 USD, gdyby została zainwestowana w Bitcoin Era, ponieważ od tego czasu cena aktywów znacznie wzrosła, w przeciwieństwie do dolara.

Sprawdzanie bodźca: historia

Światowe rządy były zaskoczone, gdy na początku tego roku wybuchła pandemia COVID-19. Jednym z pierwszych zleceń było przechwytywanie normalnego życia, jakie znaliśmy. Ogólnokrajowe blokady zaczęły występować na całym świecie. Ulice opustoszały, gdy ludzie pozostali w swoich domach.

Nadal jest dyskusyjne, czy te ekstremalne środki miały naprawdę pozytywny wpływ na rozprzestrzenianie się wirusa kilka miesięcy później. Jednak pewne jest to, że miało to realny wpływ na pracę wielu ludzi i, oczywiście, na ich finanse.

Większość potężnych gospodarek zareagowała, wydając tak zwane pakiety stymulacyjne. Działają jako ulgi podatkowe i zachęty mające na celu zapobieganie kryzysowi finansowemu, zapewniając jednocześnie bardzo potrzebną gotówkę zmagającym się obywatelom.

Największy kraj na świecie pod względem nominalnego PKB przewodził szarżom, oferując ogromne pakiety o wartości bilionów dolarów. Każda osoba dorosła zarabiająca poniżej 75 000 USD rocznie w Stanach Zjednoczonych miała prawo do czeku o wartości 1200 USD. Pierwsze takie czeki zostały wysłane w połowie kwietnia.

1200 $ w BTC w kwietniu, dziś warte prawie 3000 $

Chociaż większość raportów w tamtym czasie wskazywała, że ​​ludzie wykorzystywali swoje niedawno zdobyte dolary na jedzenie i czynsz, przekonujące jest sprawdzenie, co by się stało, gdyby faktycznie zainwestowali w bitcoiny. W końcu największa giełda kryptowalut Coinbase w USA odnotowała w tym czasie znaczny wzrost depozytów o wartości dokładnie 1200 USD.

Zawsze kreatywna społeczność kryptowalut założyła profil na Twitterze, śledząc hipotetyczną inwestycję w wyniki BTC. Śledzi, ile wart byłby 1200 $, gdyby te pieniądze zostały umieszczone w bitcoinie 15 kwietnia.

W tym czasie podstawową kryptowalutą był handel między 6600 a 6800 USD. Tak więc, gdyby ktoś rzeczywiście zamienił 1200 $ na BTC po 6600 $, skończyłby z nieco ponad 0,18 bitcoinów. Obecnie aktywa są sprzedawane za około 16 000 USD. W związku z tym ta sama kwota 0,18 bitcoinów byłaby warta na północ od 2900 USD. Oznaczałoby to zwrot z inwestycji na poziomie 142% w zaledwie siedem miesięcy.

A co z USD?

Warto też przyjrzeć się temu, co stało się z dolarem od tamtego czasu. Podczas gdy wartość BTC gwałtownie wzrosła, światowa waluta rezerwowa faktycznie spadła w porównaniu do innych walut fiducjarnych.

W połowie kwietnia dolar oscylował wokół 0,920 za euro, co było blisko rocznego maksimum. Od tego czasu stracił 8% i spadł do 0,845.

Dolar stracił również ponad 6% w stosunku do funta brytyjskiego i chińskiego juana. Wybitny ekonomista amerykański Peter Schiff przewidział jeszcze gorszą przyszłość dla dolara, mówiąc, że nawet hiperinflacja nie jest całkowicie wykluczona.

Z drugiej strony, współzałożyciel Gemini, Tyler Winklevoss, uważa, że wspomniane pakiety bodźców będą nadal szkodzić dolarowi i zauważył, że są one „kodem do zakupu bitcoinów”.

• Marathon ha effettuato un altro ordine per aumentare le sue macchine da miniera Bitcoin con ulteriori 10.000 antiminer.
• La società stima che il suo tasso di hashish raggiungerà i 2,56 Eh/s.

L’industria mineraria Bitcoin si sta gradualmente riscaldando e ci sarà molta concorrenza nei prossimi anni, dato che le società minerarie continuano ad acquistare minatori di nuova generazione. Recentemente, Marathon Patent Group, Inc. ha informato in un comunicato stampa di aver aperto un nuovo contratto con il produttore cinese Bitcoin ASIC, Bitmain, per ricevere ulteriori 10.000 Antminer S19 Pro.

Obiettivi della Maratona 2,56 Eh/s

Secondo le informazioni, Bitmain dovrebbe completare la spedizione di 10.000 Antiminers S19 Pro entro marzo del prossimo anno. Come previsto dall’accordo, la società mineraria Bitcoin Rush riceverà le consegne in lotti a partire da gennaio del prossimo anno.

I 10.000 Antiminers saranno distribuiti più velocemente rispetto al precedente ordine della società effettuato ad agosto. Precisamente, il nuovo ordine sarà interamente e completamente dispiegato entro il primo trimestre.

„Di conseguenza, ci sarà un sostanziale aumento del nostro fatturato della Bitcoin Mining prima di quanto avessimo previsto“, ha detto la società.

In precedenza, in agosto, Marathon aveva ordinato 10.500 Antiminers S19 Pro da Bitmain. La consegna è prevista anche per gennaio 2021. Tuttavia, sarà completamente e completamente dispiegato a giugno, cioè tre mesi dopo gli ultimi 10.000 Antiminers. In sostanza, si prevede che tutti questi minatori aumenteranno la potenza mineraria della società Bitcoin a 2,56 Eh/s quando saranno completamente dispiegati.

Con questa potenza, Marathon potrebbe diventare la più grande compagnia mineraria Bitcoin degli Stati Uniti e del Nord America in generale.

L’estrazione mineraria Bitcoin nel 2021

L’anno 2021 potrebbe essere molto competitivo per le società minerarie, dato che la maggior parte di esse ha aggiunto macchine di nuova generazione alla propria flotta di minatori. Un esempio di queste aziende è Riot blockchain.

Cryptopolitan ha recentemente riferito che intendono schierare circa 22.640 minatori di nuova generazione entro il giugno 2021. Si prevede che i minatori aumenteranno la potenza dell’hashish minerario della compagnia a 2,3 Eh.

SaTT is a blockchain company that recently raised $7 million in an ICO, so The Cryptonomist decided to interview CEO Gauthier Bros to find out more about the project and how token halls may still be able to offer something.

Can you explain the project to us?

Sure, we’re a blockchain-based smart advertising solution, designed to address the challenges facing the advertising industry, such as lack of transparency in the supply chain, late payments and more.

SaTT stands for Smart Advertising Transaction Token and is a token utility that allows advertisers to purchase smart advertising services on the dApp SaTT based on Ethereum. All transactions between advertisers and influencers/publishers are governed by SaTT’s smart contract, which automatically ensures speed, transparency, security and cost efficiency.

Blockchain oracles are implemented by the SaTT dApp to retrieve data from social media platform APIs such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Actions such as LIKE, SHARES, SHARES, VIEWS, TWEETs etc. can then be examined to help quantify ROI, which is very important for advertisers and marketers.

When all criteria agreed between the advertiser and the influencer/publisher are successfully met, payments are automatically activated from the advertiser’s preloaded budget to the influencer/publisher’s wallet. As you can see, the smart advertising system SaTT has been designed to be fast, tamper-proof, secure and cost-effective, a perfect case of using the Ethereum smart contract.

What is ready on the platform? What can a marketer/influencer do?

Our MVP is already online allows:

Advertisers/ marketers can place their advertising campaign on the SaTT platform and enter the number of tokens available for their campaign. They can allocate tokens according to the social media platforms on which they wish to be promoted. For example, they can allocate a certain number of tokens to YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn and/or Facebook. Advertisers/marketers can also reward influencers who have participated in their campaigns based on the performance of their posts.

For influencers (or micro-influencers), they can already participate in campaigns by posting on social networks and be remunerated according to the performance of their posts.
There will be more functionality and more different types of media platforms as we continue to improve and update SaTT’s smart advertising solution.

Why did you decide to have your own token?

I believe that tokenizing projects was really a revolutionary way to raise funds. With tokenisation, investment opportunities are democratised and virtually anyone who wants to be a supporter and thus benefit as the project takes off is given access to them.

This is a great advantage for projects that raise funds for development compared to IPOs with strict requirements. Small and medium sized projects would never launch if IPOs were the only way to make a public sale. The same is true for investors; tokenisation allows smaller investors to be part of something they believe can succeed.

Owning tokens also gives the project a tool to implement different programs and reward systems within the project ecosystem. I think the important thing is that the project continues to improve and develop, because this will ultimately increase the value of the token and benefit all those who have supported it.

What is the difference with other marketing projects like aqilliZ, Brave or traditional aggregators like Addragon and Coinzilla?

From what I know, aqilliZ is also a working smart advertising solution, but they are built on the Zilliqa blockchain (we are on Ethereum) and claim to work with FoodPanda. Brave is a web browser where content creators and attention are valued, rewarding users with Basic Attention Token (BAT). Addragon is more concerned with media buying and advertising, such as banners and advertisements. Corona Millionaire allows you to purchase press releases and sponsored items.

Of all the platforms you mentioned, aqilliZ seems the most similar to us. The rest are various advertising solutions that focus on different areas of advertising. I’m not very familiar with aqilliZ because they didn’t explain their platform well, so I can’t comment because I don’t have the details on how it works.

You have raised 7 million euros in an ICO. Do you still think that ICOs are a good way to raise funds? Why do you think yours has been a success at a time when tons of other ICOs are failing?

I think the fact that we have focused a lot on having a working platform is one of the main reasons why investors decided to support the SaTT project.

In the midst of the ICO hype at the end of 2017 and in part 2018, many projects were blockchain solutions, but most of them failed to deliver a working product and that was why those projects and tokens went out of business. This led investors in general to be very suspicious of blockchain projects because the hype alone cannot sustain the continued success of a project.

Our core team is from Atayen, Inc. and we’ve already provided technology solutions such as our Facebook pages for business applications, so we understand what it takes to provide these kinds of solutions. It’s no small thing, and the amount of RnD, trial and error that a project is willing to endure is proof of how committed the team is to the project.

All these factors have contributed to the success of our fundraising. SaTT is a project that is committed to implementation and we are not interested in being a straw fire. We want to be a solution widely adopted by our industry.

Since Ethereum is becoming very expensive in terms of gas expenses, why did you decide to use this blockchain and how will you solve the problem of fees?

Ethereum is a leader in smart contract protocols considering the huge number of projects that have adopted it. As far as users and developers are concerned, there is no alternative at the moment, so we have chosen to use the Ethereum blockchain.

At the moment, we have created the SaTTv token as a centralised version of the SaTT token for limited use on the platform and without having to pay fees. However, if a more stable, efficient and economical version arrives and the gas charges on Ethereum continue in this way or become even more expensive, then yes, we might consider switching to such a blockchain.

Which oracles do you use?

Currently, our blockchain oracles work with YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, some of the most popular media platforms. However, we will develop other oracles to work with other popular platforms. In fact, one for TikTok is already under development at the moment – yes, you heard it here first!
