.-BLOCKCHAIN FULLY DEDICATEDIt has been more than a decade since the physical birth of cryptocurrencies, although the idea is over 50 years old. The future will undoubtedly be governed by blockchain systems and governments, banks and corporations are already taking positions in this regard. BOSS is not far behind, we believe that a bitcoin wallet, for example, is a necessary tool installed by default on any system, as well as accessibility to other products should be easy and fast. BOSS has installed by default a Bitcoin wallet ady to use even in its Live version.Another of our advances is the incorporation of Atomic wallet, for the storage and trading of more than 300 coins. Coin storage in BOSS as a cold wallet takes up even less space than other hardware devices and has even more advantages. Access to conventional coin storage devices is threatened by their use in environments already manipulated by hackers. With BOSS persistent you will never have that issue.Now you can start mining several different assets to the same wallets installed on your pc. We have prepared an interesting variety of CPU-GPU miners for all tastes and hashes. Now it is possible to mine even if it has not been done previously. For even more in-depth development of the blockchain applications included in BOSS operating systems, you have your own version of bitcoin PoW PoS mining: BitcoinBOSS. Our own blockchain that is enhanced with BOSS token erc20
-BOSS SECURITY & PRIVACY FEATURESThere are many ways that a hacker can approach you, random attacks but on occasions, possible bitcoin holders are located that focus the attention of these attackers. Surely you would have noticed the multitude of ads related to bitcoin, investments, that you find on youtube, you did not ask for it but it is there. So at the time of the attacks some succeed due to poor configurations and complete neglect of security. Many simply believe that a great antivirus can solve the problem but it is a serious error, which criminals take advantage of.BOSS incorporates a complex active-passive security system that is in charge of controlling various parameters to find hidden processes or intrusions in your system. Another weak point of easy access for hacker attacks, such as automatic updates, has been modified so that the user can carry out his updates when he deems necessary and under monitoring.

-MAC ADDRESS DEFAULT SPOOFING MAC address Spoofing privacy + from BOSS. Every time you log in to your BOSS computer, you are doing so with a different MAC address. Privacy thus reaches its highest degrees by making MAC-TRACK impossible. The elevated privileges are once again the joker that increases your privacy by allowing you to delete the GEO-IP id data on your computer. Privacy is guaranteed with the activation of TOR in the private browser windows of the Brave browser.

Fed steps in Bonds
For Trading JUNE 16th
FED STEPS INTO BONDS
Market Reverses 1000 Points
Smallcaps Lead the Way!
Today’s market was dramatic, to say the least. Futures were down hard on the COVID-19 spikes that I discussed in yesterday’s Weekly letter, but the worst was over within 15 minutes of the opening. The market then spent until about 1:15 grinding its way back to unchanged and was testing both sides of unchanged until the Fed announced that it was going into the market for individual bonds, not just the ETF’s. That took us to new highs +280 before another selloff to test unchanged again and a rally to close us +157.62 +.62%), NASDAQ +137.21 (1.43%), S&P 500 +25.28 (.83%), the Russell (listen to the closing video below) the biggest winner +31.92 (2.3%) and the DJ Transports +78 (.86%). The DJIA was 21:9 up with GS +31, AAPL +29 the gainers and MRK -16DPs the big loser. A/D were healthy at 2:1 NYSE, 2.5:1 NAZ, and volume was 3:2 higher. Financials, consumer staples, communication, and real estate the strength with Healthcare and Energy the “least strong.” All sectors were higher. The test tomorrow is the Friday highs of that day’s rally. DJIA 25,965, NASDAQ 9,768.84, S&P 500 3,088.42. After that, it’s back into the gap from last Thursday’s break lower.
Our “open forum” on Discord, which allows me to interact with subscribers and others to allow direct questions and chart opinions on just about any stock, continues to grow with more participants every day. It is informative and allows me to share insights as the market is open and moving. The link is: https://discord.gg/ATvC7YZ and I will be there and active from before the open and all day. It’s a great place to share ideas and gain some insights, and we’ve grown to almost 1900 members. I also did this video titled “How to survive being an options trader and not blow up your account,” over the long weekend. I think it’s very informative as a guide to stock selection and option choices. The link is https://youtu.be/Y7H9RpWfLlo Enjoy!!

binance Support number +(𝟣) 𝟖00-561-8025 Customer Service Phone Number
vBinance support number 1800-561-8025 CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao really doesn't want to tell you where his firm's headquarters is located.
binance Support number +(𝟣) 𝟖00-561-8025 Customer Service Phone Number v
To kick off ConsenSys' Ethereal Summit on Thursday, Unchained Podcast host Laura Shin held a cozy fireside chat with Zhao who, to mark the occasion, was wearing a personalized football shirt emblazoned with the Binance support number 1𝟖00-561-8025 brand.
Scheduled for 45 minutes, Zhao spent most of it explaining how libra and China's digital yuan were unlikely to be competitors to existing stablecoin providers; how Binance support number 1800-561-8025's smart chain wouldn't tread on Ethereum's toes – "that depends on the definition of competing," he said – and how Binance support number 1800-561-8025had an incentive to keep its newly acquired CoinMarketCap independent from the exchange.
There were only five minutes left on the clock. Zhao was looking confident; he had just batted away a thorny question about an ongoing lawsuit. It was looking like the home stretch.
Then it hit. Shin asked the one question Zhao really didn't want to have to answer, but many want to know: Where is Binance support number 1888-310-7194's headquarters?
This seemingly simple question is actually more complex. Until February, Binance support number 1800-561-8025was considered to be based in Malta. That changed when the island European nation announced that, no, Binance support number 1800-561-8025is not under its jurisdiction. Since then Binance support number 1800-561-8025has not said just where, exactly, it is now headquartered.
Little wonder that when asked Zhao reddened; he stammered. He looked off-camera, possibly to an aide. "Well, I think what this is is the beauty of the blockchain, right, so you don't have to ... like where's the Bitcoin office, because Bitcoin doesn't have an office," he said.
The line trailed off, then inspiration hit. "What kind of horse is a car?" Zhao asked. Binance support number 1800-561-8025has loads of offices, he continued, with staff in 50 countries. It was a new type of organization that doesn't need registered bank accounts and postal addresses.
"Wherever I sit, is going to be the Binance support number 1800-561-8025office. Wherever I need somebody, is going to be the Binance support number 1800-561-8025office," he said.
Zhao may have been hoping the host would move onto something easier. But Shin wasn't finished: "But even to do things like to handle, you know, taxes for your employees, like, I think you need a registered business entity, so like why are you obfuscating it, why not just be open about it like, you know, the headquarters is registered in this place, why not just say that?"
Zhao glanced away again, possibly at the person behind the camera. Their program had less than two minutes remaining. "It's not that we don't want to admit it, it's not that we want to obfuscate it or we want to kind of hide it. We're not hiding, we're in the open," he said.
Shin interjected: "What are you saying that you're already some kind of DAO [decentralized autonomous organization]? I mean what are you saying? Because it's not the old way [having a headquarters], it's actually the current way ... I actually don't know what you are or what you're claiming to be."
Zhao said Binance support number 1800-561-8025isn't a traditional company, more a large team of people "that works together for a common goal." He added: "To be honest, if we classified as a DAO, then there's going to be a lot of debate about why we're not a DAO. So I don't want to go there, either."
"I mean nobody would call you guys a DAO," Shin said, likely disappointed that this wasn't the interview where Zhao made his big reveal.
Time was up. For an easy question to close, Shin asked where Zhao was working from during the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm in Asia," Zhao said. The blank white wall behind him didn't provide any clues about where in Asia he might be. Shin asked if he could say which country – after all, it's the Earth's largest continent.
"I prefer not to disclose that. I think that's my own privacy," he cut in, ending the interview.
It was a provocative way to start the biggest cryptocurrency and blockchain event of the year.
In the opening session of Consensus: Distributed this week, Lawrence Summers was asked by my co-host Naomi Brockwell about protecting people’s privacy once currencies go digital. His answer: “I think the problems we have now with money involve too much privacy.”
President Clinton’s former Treasury secretary, now President Emeritus at Harvard, referenced the 500-euro note, which bore the nickname “The Bin Laden,” to argue the un-traceability of cash empowers wealthy criminals to finance themselves. “Of all the important freedoms,” he continued, “the ability to possess, transfer and do business with multi-million dollar sums of money anonymously seems to me to be one of the least important.” Summers ended the segment by saying that “if I have provoked others, I will have served my purpose.”
You’re reading Money Reimagined, a weekly look at the technological, economic and social events and trends that are redefining our relationship with money and transforming the global financial system. You can subscribe to this and all of CoinDesk’s newsletters here.
That he did. Among the more than 20,000 registered for the weeklong virtual experience was a large contingent of libertarian-minded folks who see state-backed monitoring of their money as an affront to their property rights.
But with due respect to a man who has had prodigious influence on international economic policymaking, it’s not wealthy bitcoiners for whom privacy matters. It matters for all humanity and, most importantly, for the poor.
Now, as the world grapples with how to collect and disseminate public health information in a way that both saves lives and preserves civil liberties, the principle of privacy deserves to be elevated in importance.
Just this week, the U.S. Senate voted to extend the 9/11-era Patriot Act and failed to pass a proposed amendment to prevent the Federal Bureau of Investigation from monitoring our online browsing without a warrant. Meanwhile, our heightened dependence on online social connections during COVID-19 isolation has further empowered a handful of internet platforms that are incorporating troves of our personal data into sophisticated predictive behavior models. This process of hidden control is happening right now, not in some future "Westworld"-like existence.
Digital currencies will only worsen this situation. If they are added to this comprehensive surveillance infrastructure, it could well spell the end of the civil liberties that underpin Western civilization.
Yes, freedom matters
Please don’t read this, Secretary Summers, as some privileged anti-taxation take or a self-interested what’s-mine-is-mine demand that “the government stay away from my money.”
Money is just the instrument here. What matters is whether our transactions, our exchanges of goods and services and the source of our economic and social value, should be monitored and manipulated by government and corporate owners of centralized databases. It’s why critics of China’s digital currency plans rightly worry about a “panopticon” and why, in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, there was an initial backlash against Facebook launching its libra currency.
Writers such as Shoshana Zuboff and Jared Lanier have passionately argued that our subservience to the hidden algorithms of what I like to call “GoogAzonBook” is diminishing our free will. Resisting that is important, not just to preserve the ideal of “the self” but also to protect the very functioning of society.
Markets, for one, are pointless without free will. In optimizing resource allocation, they presume autonomy among those who make up the market. Free will, which I’ll define as the ability to lawfully transact on my own terms without knowingly or unknowingly acting in someone else’s interests to my detriment, is a bedrock of market democracies. Without a sufficient right to privacy, it disintegrates – and in the digital age, that can happen very rapidly.
Also, as I’ve argued elsewhere, losing privacy undermines the fungibility of money. Each digital dollar should be substitutable for another. If our transactions carry a history and authorities can target specific notes or tokens for seizure because of their past involvement in illicit activity, then some dollars become less valuable than other dollars.
The excluded
But to fully comprehend the harm done by encroachments into financial privacy, look to the world’s poor.
An estimated 1.7 billion adults are denied a bank account because they can’t furnish the information that banks’ anti-money laundering (AML) officers need, either because their government’s identity infrastructure is untrusted or because of the danger to them of furnishing such information to kleptocratic regimes. Unable to let banks monitor them, they’re excluded from the global economy’s dominant payment and savings system – victims of a system that prioritizes surveillance over privacy.
Misplaced priorities also contribute to the “derisking” problem faced by Caribbean and Latin American countries, where investment inflows have slowed and financial costs have risen in the past decade. America’s gatekeeping correspondent banks, fearful of heavy fines like the one imposed on HSBC for its involvement in a money laundering scandal, have raised the bar on the kind of personal information that regional banks must obtain from their local clients.
And where’s the payoff? Despite this surveillance system, the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that between $800 billion and $2 trillion, or 2%-5% of global gross domestic product, is laundered annually worldwide. The Panama Papers case shows how the rich and powerful easily use lawyers, shell companies, tax havens and transaction obfuscation to get around surveillance. The poor are just excluded from the system.
Caring about privacy
Solutions are coming that wouldn’t require abandoning law enforcement efforts. Self-sovereign identity models and zero-knowledge proofs, for example, grant control over data to the individuals who generate it, allowing them to provide sufficient proof of a clean record without revealing sensitive personal information. But such innovations aren’t getting nearly enough attention.
Few officials inside developed country regulatory agencies seem to acknowledge the cost of cutting off 1.7 billion poor from the financial system. Yet, their actions foster poverty and create fertile conditions for terrorism and drug-running, the very crimes they seek to contain. The reaction to evidence of persistent money laundering is nearly always to make bank secrecy laws even more demanding. Exhibit A: Europe’s new AML 5 directive.
To be sure, in the Consensus discussion that followed the Summers interview, it was pleasing to hear another former U.S. official take a more accommodative view of privacy. Former Commodities and Futures Trading Commission Chairman Christopher Giancarlo said that “getting the privacy balance right” is a “design imperative” for the digital dollar concept he is actively promoting.
But to hold both governments and corporations to account on that design, we need an aware, informed public that recognizes the risks of ceding their civil liberties to governments or to GoogAzonBook.
Let’s talk about this, people.
A missing asterisk
Control for all variables. At the end of the day, the dollar’s standing as the world’s reserve currency ultimately comes down to how much the rest of the world trusts the United States to continue its de facto leadership of the world economy. In the past, that assessment was based on how well the U.S. militarily or otherwise dealt with human- and state-led threats to international commerce such as Soviet expansionism or terrorism. But in the COVID-19 era only one thing matters: how well it is leading the fight against the pandemic.
So if you’ve already seen the charts below and you’re wondering what they’re doing in a newsletter about the battle for the future of money, that’s why. They were inspired by a staged White House lawn photo-op Tuesday, where President Trump was flanked by a huge banner that dealt quite literally with a question of American leadership. It read, “America Leads the World in Testing.” That’s a claim that’s technically correct, but one that surely demands a big red asterisk. When you’re the third-largest country by population – not to mention the richest – having the highest number of tests is not itself much of an achievement. The claim demands a per capita adjustment. Here’s how things look, first in absolute terms, then adjusted for tests per million inhabitants.
Binance support number 1800-561-8025has frozen funds linked to Upbit’s prior $50 million data breach after the hackers tried to liquidate a part of the gains. In a recent tweet, Whale Alert warned Binance support number 1800-561-8025that a transaction of 137 ETH (about $28,000) had moved from an address linked to the Upbit hacker group to its wallets.
Less than an hour after the transaction was flagged, Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance support number 1800-561-8025 announced that the exchange had frozen the funds. He also added that Binance support number 1800-561-8025is getting in touch with Upbit to investigate the transaction. In November 2019, Upbit suffered an attack in which hackers stole 342,000 ETH, accounting for approximately $50 million. The hackers managed to take the funds by transferring the ETH from Upbit’s hot wallet to an anonymous crypto address.Binance support number 1𝟖𝟕𝟕-𝟖𝟒𝟔-𝟐𝟖𝟏𝟕 CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao really doesn't want to tell you where his firm's headquarters is located.

Zhao glanced away again, possibly at the person behind the camera. Their program had less than two minutes remaining. "It's not that we don't want to admit it, it's not that we want to obfuscate it or we want to kind of hide it. We're not hiding, we're in the open," he said.
Shin interjected: "What are you saying that you're already some kind of DAO [decentralized autonomous organization]? I mean what are you saying? Because it's not the old way [having a headquarters], it's actually the current way ... I actually don't know what you are or what you're claiming to be."
Zhao said Binance support number 1800-561-8025isn't a traditional company, more a large team of people "that works together for a common goal." He added: "To be honest, if we classified as a DAO, then there's going to be a lot of debate about why we're not a DAO. So I don't want to go there, either."
"I mean nobody would call you guys a DAO," Shin said, likely disappointed that this wasn't the interview where Zhao made his big reveal.
Time was up. For an easy question to close, Shin asked where Zhao was working from during the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm in Asia," Zhao said. The blank white wall behind him didn't provide any clues about where in Asia he might be. Shin asked if he could say which country – after all, it's the Earth's largest continent.
"I prefer not to disclose that. I think that's my own privacy," he cut in, ending the interview.
It was a provocative way to start the biggest cryptocurrency and blockchain event of the year.
In the opening session of Consensus: Distributed this week, Lawrence Summers was asked by my co-host Naomi Brockwell about protecting people’s privacy once currencies go digital. His answer: “I think the problems we have now with money involve too much privacy.”
President Clinton’s former Treasury secretary, now President Emeritus at Harvard, referenced the 500-euro note, which bore the nickname “The Bin Laden,” to argue the un-traceability of cash empowers wealthy criminals to finance themselves. “Of all the important freedoms,” he continued, “the ability to possess, transfer and do business with multi-million dollar sums of money anonymously seems to me to be one of the least important.” Summers ended the segment by saying that “if I have provoked others, I will have served my purpose.”
You’re reading Money Reimagined, a weekly look at the technological, economic and social events and trends that are redefining our relationship with money and transforming the global financial system. You can subscribe to this and all of CoinDesk’s newsletters here.
That he did. Among the more than 20,000 registered for the weeklong virtual experience was a large contingent of libertarian-minded folks who see state-backed monitoring of their money as an affront to their property rights.
But with due respect to a man who has had prodigious influence on international economic policymaking, it’s not wealthy bitcoiners for whom privacy matters. It matters for all humanity and, most importantly, for the poor.
Now, as the world grapples with how to collect and disseminate public health information in a way that both saves lives and preserves civil liberties, the principle of privacy deserves to be elevated in importance.
Just this week, the U.S. Senate voted to extend the 9/11-era Patriot Act and failed to pass a proposed amendment to prevent the Federal Bureau of Investigation from monitoring our online browsing without a warrant. Meanwhile, our heightened dependence on online social connections during COVID-19 isolation has further empowered a handful of internet platforms that are incorporating troves of our personal data into sophisticated predictive behavior models. This process of hidden control is happening right now, not in some future "Westworld"-like existence.
Digital currencies will only worsen this situation. If they are added to this comprehensive surveillance infrastructure, it could well spell the end of the civil liberties that underpin Western civilization.
Yes, freedom matters
Please don’t read this, Secretary Summers, as some privileged anti-taxation take or a self-interested what’s-mine-is-mine demand that “the government stay away from my money.”
Money is just the instrument here. What matters is whether our transactions, our exchanges of goods and services and the source of our economic and social value, should be monitored and manipulated by government and corporate owners of centralized databases. It’s why critics of China’s digital currency plans rightly worry about a “panopticon” and why, in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, there was an initial backlash against Facebook launching its libra currency.
Writers such as Shoshana Zuboff and Jared Lanier have passionately argued that our subservience to the hidden algorithms of what I like to call “GoogAzonBook” is diminishing our free will. Resisting that is important, not just to preserve the ideal of “the self” but also to protect the very functioning of society.
Markets, for one, are pointless without free will. In optimizing resource allocation, they presume autonomy among those who make up the market. Free will, which I’ll define as the ability to lawfully transact on my own terms without knowingly or unknowingly acting in someone else’s interests to my detriment, is a bedrock of market democracies. Without a sufficient right to privacy, it disintegrates – and in the digital age, that can happen very rapidly.
Also, as I’ve argued elsewhere, losing privacy undermines the fungibility of money. Each digital dollar should be substitutable for another. If our transactions carry a history and authorities can target specific notes or tokens for seizure because of their past involvement in illicit activity, then some dollars become less valuable than other dollars.
The excluded
But to fully comprehend the harm done by encroachments into financial privacy, look to the world’s poor.
An estimated 1.7 billion adults are denied a bank account because they can’t furnish the information that banks’ anti-money laundering (AML) officers need, either because their government’s identity infrastructure is untrusted or because of the danger to them of furnishing such information to kleptocratic regimes. Unable to let banks monitor them, they’re excluded from the global economy’s dominant payment and savings system – victims of a system that prioritizes surveillance over privacy.
Misplaced priorities also contribute to the “derisking” problem faced by Caribbean and Latin American countries, where investment inflows have slowed and financial costs have risen in the past decade. America’s gatekeeping correspondent banks, fearful of heavy fines like the one imposed on HSBC for its involvement in a money laundering scandal, have raised the bar on the kind of personal information that regional banks must obtain from their local clients.
And where’s the payoff? Despite this surveillance system, the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that between $800 billion and $2 trillion, or 2%-5% of global gross domestic product, is laundered annually worldwide. The Panama Papers case shows how the rich and powerful easily use lawyers, shell companies, tax havens and transaction obfuscation to get around surveillance. The poor are just excluded from the system.
Caring about privacy
Solutions are coming that wouldn’t require abandoning law enforcement efforts. Self-sovereign identity models and zero-knowledge proofs, for example, grant control over data to the individuals who generate it, allowing them to provide sufficient proof of a clean record without revealing sensitive personal information. But such innovations aren’t getting nearly enough attention.
Few officials inside developed country regulatory agencies seem to acknowledge the cost of cutting off 1.7 billion poor from the financial system. Yet, their actions foster poverty and create fertile conditions for terrorism and drug-running, the very crimes they seek to contain. The reaction to evidence of persistent money laundering is nearly always to make bank secrecy laws even more demanding. Exhibit A: Europe’s new AML 5 directive.
To be sure, in the Consensus discussion that followed the Summers interview, it was pleasing to hear another former U.S. official take a more accommodative view of privacy. Former Commodities and Futures Trading Commission Chairman Christopher Giancarlo said that “getting the privacy balance right” is a “design imperative” for the digital dollar concept he is actively promoting.
But to hold both governments and corporations to account on that design, we need an aware, informed public that recognizes the risks of ceding their civil liberties to governments or to GoogAzonBook.
Let’s talk about this, people.
A missing asterisk
Control for all variables. At the end of the day, the dollar’s standing as the world’s reserve currency ultimately comes down to how much the rest of the world trusts the United States to continue its de facto leadership of the world economy. In the past, that assessment was based on how well the U.S. militarily or otherwise dealt with human- and state-led threats to international commerce such as Soviet expansionism or terrorism. But in the COVID-19 era only one thing matters: how well it is leading the fight against the pandemic.
So if you’ve already seen the charts below and you’re wondering what they’re doing in a newsletter about the battle for the future of money, that’s why. They were inspired by a staged White House lawn photo-op Tuesday, where President Trump was flanked by a huge banner that dealt quite literally with a question of American leadership. It read, “America Leads the World in Testing.” That’s a claim that’s technically correct, but one that surely demands a big red asterisk. When you’re the third-largest country by population – not to mention the richest – having the highest number of tests is not itself much of an achievement. The claim demands a per capita adjustment. Here’s how things look, first in absolute terms, then adjusted for tests per million inhabitants.
Binance support number 1800-561-8025has frozen funds linked to Upbit’s prior $50 million data breach after the hackers tried to liquidate a part of the gains. In a recent tweet, Whale Alert warned Binance support number 1800-561-8025that a transaction of 137 ETH (about $28,000) had moved from an address linked to the Upbit hacker group to its wallets.
Less than an hour after the transaction was flagged, Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance support number 1800-561-8025 announced that the exchange had frozen the funds. He also added that Binance support number 1800-561-8025is getting in touch with Upbit to investigate the transaction. In November 2019, Upbit suffered an attack in which hackers stole 342,000 ETH, accounting for approximately $50 million. The hackers managed to take the funds by transferring the ETH from Upbit’s hot wallet to an anonymous crypto address.

How do I check Bitcoin price history in extremely minute increments?
Hi guys!
I hope this is the correct platform for my query, please let me know if it isn't. I need to see Bitcoin price history but the catch is it should be in the smallest time increments possible. I am going to summarise what I need to know; please guide me to appropriate resources.
- How often does the BTC price change ( is it every second every millisecond???)
- Where can I get a BTC price history in small time increments. (preferably however often the bitcoin price changes): I'm looking for a website, application, program, or open source code which has/can collect this information. Alternatively, you can tell me if there's a way to create a program which will do this for me or whether there is an exchange or an organisation I can contact to get this information.
I can't find information on how to get price changes below 1 minute. Trading view has an option for live prices every 1 second (candles) but I'm not sure if that's the smallest increment possible.
Thank you all in advance!

Bitcoin Fell Below $9,000 Amid S&P 500 Crash
Did Bitcoin Revert To Follow Major Indices Amid Crisis Rumors?
The crypto sector experienced another price slump, as Bitcoin fell below its $9,000 support zone, dragging the entire sector down.
Bitcoin’s price wobbled between bullish and bearish stance for almost a week, but the latest bearish push managed to break Bitcoin’s resistance to trade as low as $8,920 on some crypto exchanges. Тhe six-percent drop also impacted the performance of the altcoin sector, as the crypto sector closely correlates with Bitcoin’s price movements.
Ethereum, for example, is down five percent to trade at $223.72. Ripple’s price went down with three percent, while the rest of the sector recorded an average of 6% price decline over the past 24 hours.
As a result of Bitcoin’s price slump, one of the largest crypto exchanges to date, BitMEX recorded around $20 million worth of Bitcoin being liquidated. The amount adds up to the $10 million worth of BitMEX long positions closed in the 24 hours prior to the price drop, adding to Bitcoin’s price instability.
However, crypto data aggregator CryptoQuant reported a vast amount of Bitcoin being moved to exchange-owned crypto wallets. Тhe Bitcoin movements indicate smaller Bitcoin holders are franticly selling Bitcoin to prevent losses from a further price drop.
Meanwhile, the price drop coincided with the red start of trading for the S&P 500 index. The index fell three percent, meaning that currently S&P 500 is slightly outperforming Bitcoin in terms of trading. However, crypto experts predicted such price slump as ByteTree’s co-founder Charlie Morris tweeted that indicators, such as network velocity, transaction values and sizes, and network fees are all down from the past weeks. “Why there is a lack of interest? I can’t see Bitcoin’s price holding up, as it’s fair value is around $7,000” Morris wrote on Twitter.
Тhe indices drop also coincided with yet another event – Bitcoin’s transaction fees fell under $1, just like they were prior to the halving of May 11. The total drop is 91%, meaning that Bitcoin’s transaction fees crashed from a high of $6,65 in mid-May to just $0,56 per transaction several days later. The phenomenon was evident during the second Bitcoin halving, too, as in the second halving Bitcoin saw a 200% transaction fee increase, as opposed to the 1600% peak in the May 2020 halving event.
Interestingly, after the transaction fee drop, Ethereum surpassed Bitcoin in terms of network fees. However, Ethereum’s network is overwhelmed with transactions, as currently, ETH’s network holds over 100,000 unconfirmed transactions, while Bitcoin’s network only holds under 1,000.
As of press time, the Bitcoin's price has rebounded and returned to levels above 9k USD, as it currently sits at $9,123.74
OKEx: Crazy Ethereum Fees, a Bitcoin ETP and Calls for a Crypto Ban in India: Crypto News of the Week | June 15, 2020 at 10:54AM
It was an eventful week in the crypto world — with one whale spending millions to send (ETH), reports of a new crypto ban proposal in India, and a new exchange-traded product (ETP) set to hit the market, among other topics.
Ethereum whale paid $5.2 million in transaction fees
Two illogical transactions of ether took place this week that cost a whopping $5.2 million in transaction fees to move only 350.55 ETH — currently worth roughly $82,799.91.
The first transaction took place on June 10 and moved a mere 0.55 ETH for a fee of 10,666 ETH. The absurdly large fee — a normal fee would be well under $1.00 — went to Shark Pool, a Chinese mining pool.
The apparent mistake was made again the next day when the same Ethereum address transacted an additional 350 ether for a transaction fee of 10,668 ether. The Ethermine mining pool was the beneficiary of this second fee.
Key takeaways
- The reason for the irrationally-high fee is not yet known, but it has been presumed by some to be either a mistake or an attempt at laundering money .
- Because the Ethereum network is decentralized, there is no way for the sender or any third-party to reverse these transactions. Hence why many in the cryptocurrency community stress the importance of sweating the details and “being your own bank.”
0.55 Ether transacted for more than $2.5 million in fees. Source: etherscan.io
Microsoft launches decentralized identity network beta on Bitcoin
Identity Overlay Network (ION), a decentralized identity network from Microsoft on the Bitcoin network, has launched the beta version of its open-sourced, layer-two project — which looks to replace usernames with decentralized identifiers (DIDs).
ION would essentially allow for user-controlled logins that don’t require system-providers (such as social media companies) to maintain ownership of an individual’s credentials.
First announced last year, ION is meant to enable user-controlled logins that suit independent companies or services, rather than having system-providers (like Facebook) owning a user’s login credentials. ION can be used for many use cases that aren’t strictly related to health certificates or contact tracing, though the continued spread of coronavirus has influenced its potential usage.
Key takeaways
- The rapid development of ION has been spurred on by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, not everyone is confident in ION’s and other similar projects’ privacy-safeguarding measures.
- Microsoft has been active in its blockchain technology development recently, announcing a new Azure Blockchain Service and Azure Blockchain Development Kit for the Ethereum blockchain.
Cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX operated like a Ponzi scheme
Notorious and now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX — which went bankrupt after founder and CEO Gerland Cotten reportedly died while abroad — operated as a Ponzi scheme, according to a recently-made-public report from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC).
The report most notably alleges that Cotten traded against QuadrigaCX’s customers and used fake trading accounts on other cryptocurrency exchanges funded by QuadrigaCX customers’ deposits. As the report explains:
“Cotten opened Quadriga accounts under aliases and credited himself with fictitious currency and crypto asset balances which he traded with unsuspecting Quadriga clients. He sustained real losses when the price of crypto assets changed, thereby creating a shortfall in assets to satisfy client withdrawals.”
Key takeaways
- The QuadrigaCX saga continues to serve as a prime example of wrongdoing and financial crime present in the still-maturing blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.
- Major exchanges with verifiable credentials and a long history of security remain the safest options for trading cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin ETP set to launch on German digital stock exchange Xetra
Germany’s Xetra digital stock exchange will receive its first crypto ETP later this month. The ETP comes from the London-based ETC Group and will be available for customers in the United Kingdom, Italy and Austria.
According to ETF Stream, the BTCetc Bitcoin Exchange Traded Crypto (BTCE) will be physically-backed, track the price of Bitcoin and have a total expense ratio (TER) of two percent.
Key takeaways
- We have seen a steady increase in institutional investmentin the first and foremost cryptocurrency, alongside an increase in Bitcoin products for said investors.
- As yet another Bitcoin product geared towards institutional investors, the new ETP removes the technical challenges associated with BTC — such as managing wallet addresses and security.
Indian Ministry of Finance proposes ban on cryptocurrencies
Three months after the Supreme Court of India superseded the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) ban on banks servicing individuals and entities dealing in cryptocurrencies, the Indian Ministry of Finance has proposed a blanket ban on cryptocurrencies .
The Indian parliament will review the proposal after it has been forwarded to the Union Council of Ministers.
Key takeaways
- This is not the first time a blanket ban on crypto has been proposed in India. Previous proposals have thus far not been successful in banning the new asset class.
- A crypto ban in the second-most populous country would be a major blow for global cryptocurrency adoption.
