Going below $1 or over $2?

Looks to me as if the days of $1.xx are fast coming to a close. The price volatility has been declining since the peak at the beginning of the year, and the declining resistance line is about to intersect the rising support line. We should then expect a major breakout, up or down.

I suspect we are dealing with the interaction between a possible event and a definite event. The possible event is a collapse in the price of Bitcoin, the definite event is the start of the Shimmer staking period. If the price of Bitcoin collapses, then I don't think staking will save MIOTA from going under $1. And this is the breakdown that the IOTA chart is pointing to. On the other hand, if BTC goes back over $60k over the next few weeks, then I think the breakout is going to be bullish, taking us well over $2.

But whatever happens, I think it unlikely that MIOTA will be $1.xx at the end of the year.

El salvador president nayib bukele has announced plans for a 7,466-hectare ‘bitcoin city’ to be built in the southeast of the central american country. following the president’s statement at a bitcoin event on november 20th (2021) (x-post from /r/Cryptocurrency)

Revuto is Crushing It On Discord and Reddit

It’s impossible to escape social media these days. For many of us, these online spaces are where we source our news, share our views, LOL at memes, and quite literally live our lives. Perhaps because it bloomed into existence in the Digital Age, the crypto sector is particularly social in nature with traders, devs, miners, hodlers and commentators active on half a dozen or more channels.

Like many crypto-powered projects, Revuto’s tentacles extend all across the internet: at last count, we had ten official channels encompassing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, Medium, Discord and Telegram. In fact, we have several international Telegram channels to reflect our growing following in countries like Italy, Spain and Turkey. Though many Revutonians opt to follow us only on Twitter and Telegram, our Discord and Reddit channels have seen increased interest of late for good reason.

Over 580 million monthly active users on Discord and Reddit!

Founded in 2015, Discord is a community-focused digital platform closely associated with the gaming industry. Boasting over 150 million monthly users, Discord’s USP is that it allows public and private groups to gather and chat by text, audio and video, functioning as a venue where like-minded people can relax and hang out.

https://discord.com/invite/CuCjteKmCk

Back in September, the company raised half a billion dollars which saw its value jump from $7.3 billion to $15 billion. As far as Revuto is concerned, we use Discord to share announcements and updates and conduct polls. In recent years, the site has attracted an increasing number of crypto enthusiasts, something that seems likely to continue given the popularization of blockchain-based gaming AKA GameFi.

Reddit probably needs no introduction. Another multi-billion dollar success story, the self-professed ‘front page of the internet’ has over 430 million monthly active users as well as over 100,000 active communities. Reddit, like Discord and Telegram, is a favorite platform among the crypto demographic, with the main Cryptocurrency News & Discussion channel featuring over 4 million members. While that’s orders of magnitude greater than our 1.4k Revutonians, we only launched in May. Undoubtedly, Reddit will be an important channel for us going forward.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Revuto/

A New Escrow Service on our Discord channel

Over the course of September, we made a concerted effort to grow our Discord channel by running an invite bounty campaign, wherein users could earn REVU tokens for inviting friends to join our channel. Amazingly, we went from having around 3,000 users to boasting over 22,000! Of course, Discord can be put to greater uses than conversation. To this end, we have just launched an escrow service on our channel to protect users from potential fraud until our token is listed on exchanges. You’ll find the service in the left-hand column, below the ‘Trading and Escrow’ subheading.

Escrow must be handled by a person or service in whom both parties have total trust. Because we’re keen to minimize the risk of users being ripped off, we have launched this service to help facilitate pre-arranged transactions. Of course, it is entirely up to the individuals to define prices and all other details. The service is available free of charge.

https://preview.redd.it/bf8bamvzxm281.jpg?width=1188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=245a5e7abde7348a4f6187fdb1bdd1caa0a1d706

For those eager to trade tokens peer-to-peer ahead of the upcoming exchange listing, the escrow service channel is by far the safest option. Speaking of REVU tokens, chatter on our Discord has been overwhelmingly positive and demand is high. We see you!

https://preview.redd.it/baz1ixtyxm281.jpg?width=1188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=272aab9d07fa6d9f682784fdb0025895c39c342d

One-stop shop for all the updates

Incidentally, we are currently working on integrating Zendesk on the server itself so that users have live support on Discord. The cool thing about Discord, of course, is that we can deploy bots to proactively transfer everything that is published on other Revuto channels to Discord, making it a one-stop shop where our community members can stay abreast of all developments. In the near future — when REVU is listed on exchanges — we will integrate the price bot, so you can stay up to date with that too.

Price is a topic that never goes out of fashion in crypto, and last week there were plenty of negative headlines as market sentiment turned bearish in the wake of — what else? — gloomy Covid news. Of course, a week is a long time in crypto and as we write this, the price of Bitcoin has surged by over $4,000 overnight, recovering the losses that caused many commentators to lose their minds mere days ago. The 7% price rise was mirrored by several altcoins, too.

In summary, we are in a good place. Keep calm and carry on!

MARKET INSIGHT: The dip may not be over

The crypto market is having an exceptionally strong recovery today after a negative weekend. The overall markets took a dip Friday after news broke of a new Covid Variant named “Omicron” was discovered in South Africa. Negative news events spark a notable amount of initial fear in markets which quickly dissipate. Bitcoin pull-backed 8% to 53k on Friday and met the strong trendline that began on July 20th.

BTC 1 Day

This dip is very similar to the dip that began on Sept 7th. The earlier dip lasted 22 days and went down 24%, this dip is currently at 18 days and has gone down 23%. The first dip tested the bottom twice noted by the yellow arrows on the chart above. The current dip has only tested support once. Leverage Ratio remains notably high right now which adds to the probability of a retest of the 53k support/trendline.

The market remains in a strong uptrend unless price closes considerably below the trendline. Fear and Greed Index remains low and in our favor. 53k- 55k remains good areas to open more positions in BTC and other protocols.

NOOBIES: How to find which exchange sells a crypto.

I’ve recently been getting a lot of inquiries on where to purchase particular coins/tokens, so today I will layout where you can find this information.

There are two primary sites to track crypto prices.

You can find just about any cryptocurrency listed on these two sites. They have tons of utility which I laid out in this past report under the NOOBIES section. If a coin or token is not listed here, you do not want to get involved with it.

If you go to either site, on the top right-hand corner there is a search bar. You can enter the name of the token or its symbol. Below is what the site looks like after you pull up a token.

https://preview.redd.it/xtziqfnjxm281.png?width=796&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b0786b42ba8b8940db9a79de569c50f8e704b19

From here, if you scroll down you will find a chart labeled Markets.

The exchanges where you can buy the crypto are on the left-hand side.

For example, with Immutable X, you can purchase it at FTC, Huobi, Gate.io and a few others. In my past report I made of list of reputable exchanges available to US Customers.

https://preview.redd.it/w5uelkekxm281.png?width=771&format=png&auto=webp&s=702175ba2a30b73ac86d0de38562f66e77319e46

Nice and simple right?! Now you have the ability find where to purchase any token you’d like. Choose wisely.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving; I know I’m a few pounds heavier. Keep accumulating while we are on these nice dips and stay tuned to stay ahead of the market! If you would like to receive this report directly to your email, message me directly.

Stay safe fam!

What makes price go up? Why are people in crypto? Why are cryptos so valuable?

What makes the price go up(or down)?

The only thing that determines price of any asset are the buyers and sellers. The most you can do to preserve and help the price appreciate is to remove potential sellers(get them to lock up their tokens) and attract new buyers(through periods of boosted rewards).

2.) What are people looking for in a Cryptocurrency?90%+ of the people are not in it for the technology, but for them gains and financial freedom. Everyone wants exposure to cryptocurrencies that are known for the x100, x1000, x10000 gains. And at the same time everyone would like to earn "passive income"/additional yield which can be done through staking.

3.) What made cryptocurrencies so valuable in the first place? What Bitcoin did is it eliminated the need for a trusted third party. No longer would you need a centralized entity(such as bank) to keep track of the records. Bitcoin made data available on a public ledger - called blockchain. The accuracy of the data is ensured through cryptography and mathematics(miners need solve arbitrary math equations to ensure security of the network).So what makes them valuable is Decentralization, Scarcity, alternative to traditional currencies and FIAT system, as well as a new form of governance and collaboration.

The goal when creating XVMC protocol was to create something that would appreciate in value. This is achieved as a time deposit(certificate of deposit) - the protocol encourages long term thinking. The ability to delay gratification(give up momentary pleasure now, to achieve something later) has been scientifically proven to be the greatest indicator of future success(google Marshmallow test). The buy and hold(passive approach) tends to be the most successful strategy. Long term investors get rich, short term speculators get rekt.
In order to earn staking rewards, you must lock up your tokens. By doing so, users collectively remove supply from the market and create scarcity. New buyers are attracted through periods of boosted rewards. Remove potential sellers, create new buyers - the perfect recipe for explosive growth and adoption.It serves the market - it's potentially a new wealth creation opportunity. It can become extremely valuable because it provides a valuable service everyone is looking for - a system that works in your favor, gives you exposure to cryptocurrencies as the highest appreciating assets, as well as earns you additional yield through staking.

It's made to be decentralized - consensus of the system(a way of reaching agreements to upgrade the protocol in decentralized manner) is reached through voting of locked-up stakers.Users act as oracles(trusted third parties that relay real world data to the blockchain) regulating the system(infaltion, rewards, events, boosts, fees, bonuses,...). It acts as a currency and it's own financial system(time deposits are the biggest money market in the world, worth more than gold, bitcoin and all payment methods combined!).It's made to create scarcity on the long term and it's made to be upgraded & evolve over time.

To serve the narratives and capitalize on the hype, NFTs and MEME tokens are included(the protocol can hold both of them).

You should feel like you've just discovered a goose that can lay golden eggs. It's a new opportunity. Cryptocurrencies can and do x1,000, x10,000 and even more. It is risky and it could go to 0. But imagine actually being an early adopter in a project. The early adopters tend to get rewarded beyond wildest imagination.A lot of people think it is a scam/joke, but it is actually the exact opposite. It is an opportunity.Don't get distracted by the name(Mac&Cheese). Until recently, Apple used to be the #1 most valuable company in the entire world. Fruit(food) names tend to work very well - Pancake, Sushi, Apple. It needs not make sense in order to get your attention. You will probably never forget Mac&Cheese - just because how ridiculous it sounds. It's an universal concept - anything that can get attention, tends to attract value(just look at Kardashians)

If you do not want to take any risks, but you already own crypto you can still get in for free, but there are people who claim with tens of millions of crypto, so you are likely to get very little.It's an opportunity that is extremely hard to come across, as development is very expensive and the projects tend to get funded by VCs and early investors and by the time tokens hit the market, they already create a x100(if not higher) returns. This is different. You are the first to get in and it is made to scale indefinitely.

Bitcoin in Spanish: El Salvador Buys More BTC While Others Criticize

Bitcoin in Spanish speaking is a weekly newsletter from CriptoNoticias in which we review the most important news related to bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchains in the Hispanic world.

After a week of much movement in El Salvador, bitcoin continues to be the protagonist in the Central American country. The government bought more bitcoins (BTC) despite criticism from international bodies.

Meanwhile, in Colombia there are also criticisms against cryptocurrencies despite the fact that the local currency, the peso, looks weak. On the other hand, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) continue to dominate the cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem in the region. In this case, from Argentina to Venezuela.

Do you want to know more about current affairs in Hispanic countries? Next, we present the weekly summary of CriptoNoticias with the most important events for bitcoin , cryptocurrencies and blockchains among Spanish-speaking countries:

Argentina

The first news that we highlight this week is about the Argentine Federal Blockchain , which brings together companies and institutions from the South American country. In more than a month, this blockchain has not presented activity , which makes citizens question its usefulness. Although we published the news in this medium on November 22, at the time of writing this newsletter the situation has not changed.

On more positive notes, we have the news that Belo, one of the brokers that exist in Argentina, incorporated almost immediate transactions with bitcoins through the Lightning network to its platform .

In Argentina, the NFTs are gaining strength, both in the sports world and in the entertainment world. The national soccer team launched its second token collection this week. For their part, artists such as Nikki Nicole and Babasónicos will do the same with the Ripio exchange.

Colombia

In Colombia, the situation of the local currency, the peso, is not the best. During the week, the price of the dollar increased and approached 4,000 pesos for the second time this year. In addition, with Colombians using more and more online payment channels, bitcoin could be presented as an alternative for Colombians to protect themselves from the devaluation of their currency.

The latter might not like the former presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, who assured last Tuesday that cryptocurrency mining was very harmful , due to its energy consumption.

The Savior

After the closing of Bitcoin Week in El Salvador and the news that they could issue new Bitcoin-based bonds, the government of Nayib Bukele continues to speak for its management of resources and the purchase of BTC. Taking advantage of a new drop in the price of the main development of cryptocurrency on the market, the Salvadoran government added another 100 BTC to its coffers.

The way in which Bukele has driven the adoption of cryptocurrency in his country has not been well received by everyone. In fact, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) again warned of the risks of Bitcoin. The Bank of England also joined the organizations that have shown their concern about what is happening in the Central American country.

Spain

People don't wait for their respective governments to take steps like Bukele's. They use cryptocurrencies without the existence of a Bitcoin Law. In the case of Spain, a recent survey revealed that the majority are looking for profit or the possibility of having assets that are not under state control.

Also in the European country, the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) remains concerned about the presence of advertising dedicated to cryptocurrency investment platforms that are being investigated for suspicious activities.

Mexico

"Buy bitcoin right now" is the advice of Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego. The recommendation came just after criticizing the monetary policy of the United States, which has inflated the issuance of banknotes to levels never seen before, something that Salinas called "irresponsible."

And precisely, one of the most renowned soccer clubs in Mexico, Tigres UANL, allied with the Bitso exchange. In addition to being a sponsor of the Mexican soccer First Division team, Bitso and the club will explore the integration of payments with bitcoin for tickets and souvenirs . They could even pay players with cryptocurrencies.

Venezuela

The popularity of NFTs is evident among Venezuelans. According to the Finder firm, already at least a third of the population knows what these tokens are, which have gained a lot of ground as a source of income in this and other countries with economic difficulties.

The NFTs have even reached the Venezuelan government, which this week immortalized the Guinness Record obtained by the National System of Orchestras with a collectible token .

This week, in this newspaper we review the growth of Binance as an alternative for payments in shops in Venezuela. We also have the experience of paying with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the streets of Caracas.

There's no such thing as "Omicron Dip"

With the recent dip I've seen lots of posts saying that the new Omicron Variant is the reason for the dip. This is completely unrelated, just ask yourself, would you sell crypto because of a new covid variant? Probably no, since you're not using it as a currency, and just holding it as an investment. Stocks will go down of course, because the companies are directly losing money because of the new virus. But there's not much connecting real world events and crypto markets. Moreover, fiat is the one who's going to suffer from this, it's going to cause inflation and even more people will invest in crypto to protect from it. What we're seeing now is just regular market movement. Bitcoin went down 5% for 3 days and then went back. This is almost nothing, it's just a (coin)cidence that it happend shortly after the announcment of the new variant.

Sports and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have taken the world by storm. The rise of various cryptocurrencies since the launch of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2009 has changed the world of business and finance. As a result, the concept of digital currency, albeit faced with strong opposition, has risen in popularity.

When it comes to sports, nothing matches the craze of its fans. People go to extreme lengths to show their support for their favorite sportsperson or their favorite team. What’s more, people spend lavishly on sporting events, tickets, and merchandise.

Sports fans go wild about owning sports collectibles, from posters to signed cards, t-shirts, balls, bats, and anything and everything to do with sports. NFTs now offer a new digitized way of collecting sports memorabilia.

Non-Fungible Tokens also present a great money-making opportunity for the sports industry. It represents a new way for fans to get involved with their favorite teams, sportspeople, wins, and special moments on and off the turf.

Despite the cryptocurrency markets facing a dump, sports NFT projects show no signs of slowing down.

Just recently, Ex Sport sold The S.T. Dupont pen that Diego Maradona used to sign his contract with when joining S.S.C Napoli in 1984, for $26,000, the Official 1986 World Cup Argentina Number 10 jersey of Maradona, signed by the legend himself, sold for $24,000, the trophy that El Mundo awarded Diego Maradona as the Best Player of the 1979 FIFA Youth World Cup sold for $11,000 and World football freestyler and social media icon, Sean Garnier, sold his freestyle football that Maradona signed alongside the legendary Pele for $18,000.

With Non-Fungible Tokens s called the future of fine art collecting, it has already become mainstream. However, there is no doubt that NFTs are here to disrupt the ecosystem.

The most idiotic ideas for creating NFTs. Tattoos with Thom Yorke, an apartment in Eastern Europe, Lindsay Lohan, and other f–k-ups in the young industry.

NFT is a phenomenon, and its possibilities are endless. Founder of Cryptobank Galaxy Digital and one of the industry’s most influential people, Mike Novogratz, believes that we are at the dawn of a new and exciting era. Since everything is just beginning, many more mistakes await us. This can be seen from the use of NFTs in various areas of commerce. In this post, we have collected the most idiotic ideas and explained what is wrong with them.

Football (soccer) tickets

Dynamo Kyiv became the first football club in the world to sell NFT tickets. What’s the trick? You go to the Binance NFT marketplace, buy a token that allows you to get into the stadium.

NFT for the sake of NFT. This model does not carry anything revolutionary. The NFT must bring value by being playable in a game or by being holdable to speculate on its price. This particular NFT turns sour like yesterday’s milk.

On the other hand, it would be nice to make tokens with entries to powerful sporting events, like Usyk’s boxing match against Joshua or the NBA Finals. In this case, owning an NFT is beneficial.

But this is not the case for “Dynamo Kyiv.” Their stadium is filled up by only 20% of the total capacity for league games.

Painting for a failed festival

In the spring of 2017, rapper Ja Rule organized the worst festival in the history of music – the FYRE Festival. Guests paid $1,500 for a ticket but got wet tents, spoiled sandwiches, and no-names on stage (stars like Blink 182 smelled that something was wrong and did not show up).

Four years later, Ja Rule decided he hadn’t failed enough and put up for sale an NFT oil painting by Tripp Derrick Barnes with the festival logo. For 600 thousand dollars, the buyer would have received the NFT itself, a physical artwork, and a note written personally by the rapper that says: F–k this painting. People laughed at Ja Rule and told him to piss off. However, someone very generous paid $122 for this trash.

Art for real sneakers

Brands have to cling to news feeds in this digital age to constantly remind customers: “guys, buy our shit.” But for this to work, they need to do it strategically.

Reebok, which Adidas is getting rid of at a loss, is the best example. Everything is wrong with Reebok. Sales are falling, new collections are not reaching the audience, even the collaboration with Maison Margiela failed. Based on the hype around NFTs, they could have created a blockchain game or at least generated art of non-existent sneakers to sharpen the public’s interest. But no, the guys take an already existing, unsuccessful model of shoes, which is now sold in outlets for 40 bucks. Then they draw a copy of it and create an NFT. Brilliant, isn’t it?

Tattoo meme with Thom Yorke and a pacifier

The idea of combining NFTs and tattoos is pretty good. After all, a good tattoo is also an art. Los Angeles-based top artist Scott Campbell first tattooed Robert Downey Jr. before he became Iron Man. Now he is building an NFT platform. The platform will allow buying exclusive art and bring them to life directly in the creators’ tattoo shops.

But the first NFT with a tattoo turned out to be scruffy. It was a doubtful work of art with a portrait of Thom Yorke, where one of the eyes is the NFT owner’s nipple. It was sold for $2,000. Crazy. What value does it have?

Apartment in a residential area of Kiev

Again we return to the capital of Ukraine. Michael Arrington, the founder of the online publication TechCrunch and the Arrington XRP hedge fund, bought an apartment here in 2017. After 4 years, the crypto enthusiast decided to sell it at an NFT auction. Initially, the lot was worth 7.81 ETH, but as a result of 43 bids in the auction, the price increased to 36 ETH. That is how much the anonymous winner paid.

A cool story at first glance. Unfortunately, it can end badly. NFTs are outside of the legal framework. This is very important in the context of private property in Eastern Europe. Laws do not always work, and human rights are not always valued. Therefore, it will be as easy as shelling pears for scammers to break into the apartment with thugs, a corrupt notary, and re-register the apartment for themselves.

Lindsay Lohan

There are simply no comments here. The recipe for success: we take a former celebrity, preferably steadily flying into rehab, draw a grim portrait, remove the bottle of gin from her hands, add clichés like “bitcoin” and the phrase “to the moon.” And voila! There are only 2 questions left afterward: what kind of yellow car do you want? Where is the Lambo?

Let us know in the comments what kind of crazy NFTs you know.

Apparently we saw over 1MM transactions in Epoch 302. https://twitter.com/ccvaultio/status/1460673461614006276
Looks like Cardano is seeing a huge amount of on-chain activity. The crazy part is this is all pre-PAB. Just wait until dApps can actually launch! Unsurprisingly, some supporters of other chains were shocked to realize they didn’t understand the difference between exchange trading volume and actual blockchain use volume. https://twitter.com/cardano_daily/status/1460238659098005504 https://messari.io/screener/most-active-chains-DB01F96B

Here’s the announcement and the bill from Senators Lummis & Wyden to fix the bad crypto language in the Infrastructure Bill. https://www.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/wyden-lummis-introduce-bill-to-fix-broker-definition-for-digital-assets/ https://www.lummis.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/GAI21B7321.pdf

Charles dropped a new AMA where he mentioned very briefly that they are actually going to look into read-only UTxOs. If it’s possible to have these types of UTxOs while preserving determinism, it would be a big change since transactions must currently consume inputs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJcVEJ1a6eg Some background reading on read-only UTxOs: https://github.com/Emurgo/Emurgo-Research/blob/master/smart-contracts/Unlocking%20The%20Potential%20Of%20The%20UTXO%20Model.md

Pavia has partnered with ReadyPlayerMe so that you can build your own avatar. https://twitter.com/Pavia_io/status/1463103151893106688
Charles drops a video on the eToro user limitations. It sounds like IOHK knew nothing about this. Interacting with exchanges falls in the Cardano Foundation’s wheelhouse. It’s unclear whether the CF knew anything. He also pointed out it’s very interesting that an old line exchange like Bitstamp has decided to LIST Cardano during this same period. Charles also mentioned that they haven’t seen any regulatory activity on IOHK’s end. eToro is a relatively small source of liquidity for Cardano and there shouldn’t be much of an impact. https://youtu.be/WYQTkf8ndpY

The minutes from the Fed’s November FOMC meeting have been published and indicate they are ready to taper asset purchases and raise rates to combat inflation.
