Vili Lehdonvirta

Pros: The Finnish professor is one of the first people to be suggested as Satoshi, in a 2011 New Yorker article. Due to the lack of fevered speculation at the time, which has tainted subsequent attempts to uncover Satoshi, Vili Lehdonvirta’s dox feels purer than the rest. That doesn’t make it any more correct though.  Read more...

Coinbase Might Be Behind Those 856,000 BTC Worth of Transactions

Coinbase Might Be Behind Those 856,000 BTC Worth of Transactions

Last week, it was reported that a Bitcoin whale had moved thousands of bitcoin into different wallet addresses. Between December 1 to December 6, 2018, the whale split 856,000 bitcoin between 107 wallets, sending an equal 8,000 BTC into each wallet.

Speculators have formulated different hypotheses since the monstrous sum was moved. Was it a market whale moving funds to Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets? Could the sender be the Foundation for Economic Education (Fee.org)? (This second theory is highly improbable as the listed address on the organization’s website reveals it has only ever received a total of 2.2 BTC.)  Read more...

Look at Data From Past Bitcoin Crashes and You’ll (Probably) Feel Better

After a bearish year of perennial price swings that culminated in months of tightly wound sideways movement, the (former) bottom has dropped out for bitcoin and the wider crypto market.

By all rights, it’s a complete reversal of fortune from the explosion of value the market enjoyed this time last year, and mainstream media has had a field day exploiting the irony of the peripeteia bitcoin’s price has suffered when we compare it to the investor euphoria of just a year ago.  Read more...

Your Thanksgiving Turkey’s Provenance Might Be on a Blockchain (Seriously)

Honeysuckle White is giving family and friends gathering for Thanksgiving dinner this year the opportunity to talk turkey with a traceable blockchain code on more than 200,000 turkeys sold through 3,500 retailers around the U.S. The traceable turkeys, a limited supply of which is also available through internet retailer Amazon, offer consumers a high-tech connection to the farm where the centerpiece of the meal began its journey to the table.

The blockchain, which Honeysuckle White developed using Hyperledger’s Sawtooth platform, is intended to establish a “proven and trusted environment to build a transparent food chain, integrating farmers and producers, suppliers, processors, distributors, retailers, regulators and consumers,” according to a company release.  Read more...

By Leave a Comment

Monero Chart With Values

Chart for XMR/USD (1W)

Monero (XMR) currently trades around $ 107 and is probably one of the safest bets in the market right now. The price has been following a three driver’s pattern, trading in a diverging bullish channel. It has currently reached the bottom of the channel and will likely return with bullish momentum for the long haul that could drive its price all the way to $ 500 or higher before the end of the year. Apart from the technicals, its fundamentals look great as well. Monero (XMR) transactions are currently cheaper than that of both Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC).  Read more...

Ripple (XRP) Might Touch $5 In Q1 Of 2019

By Leave a Comment

Ripple Chart With Values

Ripple (XRP) is about to begin a new trend. The daily chart for XRP/USD shows that Ripple (XRP) has already broken out of the bullish gartley formation and is due for a breakout anytime now. RSI for the above chart shows that Ripple (XRP) has already broken its downtrend and is now waiting for the rest of the market to recover so it can resume its bull trend. This is not the first time a weak Bitcoin (BTC) has put a stop to Ripple (XRP)’s aggressive rally. It might seem as a negative development to most investors who have been waiting for a trend reversal since the beginning of the correction. However, if we look at the chart, we can see that Ripple (XRP) has now found a support higher up the ascending channel. This means that Ripple (XRP) is now likely to rise even higher during its next cycle.  Read more...

Binance Coin Chart With Values

Chart for BNB/BTC (1D)

Binance Coin (BNB) has attained a unique reputation as a Tether styled coin that continues to remain stable even as the market bleeds.

Stellar (XLM)’s Next Breakout Might Steal Ripple (XRP)’s Thunder

Stellar (XLM) has seen growing institutional interest over the past few months.
