After being removed by Bittrex, Dash is resisting its classification as a data protection cryptocurrency.

A new tweet by the blockchain company Dash has sparked criticism, because the associated cryptocurrency, which was previously advertised with its focus on anonymity and data protection, now emphasizes that it is as transparent as Cryptosoft review.

On January 1st, this was preceded by a tweet from the American crypto exchange Bittrex, which announced the day before yesterday that it would remove the data protection cryptocurrencies Monero, Zcash and Dash from its listing:

On December 29, the crypto trading platform had previously taken XRP out of trading after the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed an indictment against publisher Ripple. Accordingly, speculation arose that Bittrex would remove the data protection cryptocurrencies in order to prevent another sweeping blow by the authorities.

Dash then replied in a tweet that the company had requested a meeting with Bittrex. In addition, it would be wrong in terms of content to call DASH a „data protection cryptocurrency“:

However, the web archive for 2017 shows that DASH was advertised by the Dash Foundation as the “world’s first cryptocurrency with a focus on data protection”. On the current version of the website, however, there is only talk of „the leading crypto currency for payments“.

In yet another response to Bittrex’s removal, Ryan Taylor, CEO of Dash Pay, also downplays the cryptocurrency’s privacy feature:

Because Dash is only „an offshoot of Bitcoin“, all transactions would be publicly available, just like with the crypto market leader. Even the built-in feature called PrivateSend, which is supposed to anonymize payments, wouldn’t really guarantee complete anonymity.

This tweet caused further criticism from the crypto community, but some users backed Taylor by referring to a Dash blog entry from last August that explicitly explains the data protection function of the crypto currency. In it Taylor wrote at the time that “the supervisory authorities fear that crypto exchanges cannot comply with the requirements for information collection (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) when they carry out transactions with data protection cryptocurrencies”. In order to counter the concerns of the authorities, other crypto exchanges had already removed Dash from the listing in the past.

However, this has always been a misunderstanding as Dash is often referred to as a data protection cryptocurrency, which it is not. Accordingly, the blockchain company is trying to clear up this misunderstanding:

„Through our educational work, we managed to explain the technology we were using and to convince the authorities that Dash is no greater risk than Bitcoin.“

Cena Bitcoina (BTC) w końcu przekroczyła 22.000 dolarów wkrótce po tym, jak przekroczyła swój wszechczasowy poziom 20.000 dolarów.

W miarę jak dominująca krypto waluta wchodzi na rynek odkryć cenowych, analitycy prognozują krótkoterminowe trendy.

W najbliższym czasie, perspektywy Bitcoina pozostają oczywiście optymistyczne. Nie ma historycznego oporu i poziomu wsparcia powyżej 20 000 USD, więc nie jest pewne, jak daleko BTC będzie rosnąć do następnego szczytu.

Analitycy wskazują jednak na trzy trendy, które mogą pojawić się w wyniku silnego wzrostu BTC w ciągu jednej nocy.

Oczekuje się, że duża zmienność będzie miała zarówno negatywne, jak i negatywne skutki.

Alternatywne waluty kryptograficzne (altcoins) rozwijają się, gdy Bitcoin Trader się zatrzymuje lub konsoliduje.

Bitcoin w ciągu ostatnich 48 godzin gwałtownie wzrósł w górę. Oznacza to, że książki zamówień są cieńsze, a objętość wyższa.

Pseudonimowy inwestor znany jako „Bitcoin Jack“ powiedział, że cena BTC może „kaskadowo w górę i w dół“. Powiedział:

„Płynność jest tak sucha, że można wyczyścić stronę sprzedaży na Bitstampie jednym zleceniem kupna o wartości <650 btc lol. Oczywiście sprzedający wejdzie, zatrzymuje się itp., ale to, co próbuję powiedzieć, że książki są po raz kolejny super cienkie po tym ostatnim pchnięciu, cena może kaskadowo w górę iw dół złośliwie“.

Masowe wahania cen są coraz bardziej prawdopodobne z powodu większego otwartego zainteresowania i rosnącego napływu wielorybów.

Termin „otwarty interes“ odnosi się do całkowitej sumy wszystkich aktywnych kontraktów terminowych na rynku. Im wyższe otwarte zainteresowanie, tym więcej traderów stawia na kurs BTC na rynku instrumentów pochodnych.

Według danych CryptoQuant, łączne otwarte zainteresowanie na głównych giełdach krypto walutowych osiągnęło rekordowy poziom.

Wraz ze wzrostem zainteresowania otwartymi interesami na giełdach kontraktów terminowych wzrasta prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia ogromnego skoku zmienności.

Wzrastają również szanse na kaskadową likwidację, co w krótkim czasie może spowodować nasilenie ruchów wzrostowych lub spadkowych.
Altcoins miałby trudny czas

Inwestorzy zaczynają szukać bardziej ryzykownych i niestabilnych gier, aby zrekompensować brak zmienności na rynku Bitcoinów.

Ale kiedy BTC zaczyna gwałtownie wzrastać od 10% do 20% w ciągu jednego dnia, wysysa wolumen i zmienność z rynku kryptokurrency.

W przewidywalnej przyszłości oznaczałoby to, że altcoiny prawdopodobnie będą walczyć z Bitcoinami. Pseudonimowy inwestor znany jako „Loma“ powiedział:

„BTC w górę ~10% i morze czerwieni dla większości par ALTBTC… Albo być w Bitcoin’ie albo spróbować szczęścia w osiągnięciu lepszych wyników. Gra jest nadal ciężka, Bitcoin imo ALTs będą mieli swój czas, ale koszt okazji to prawdziwa rzecz“.

Nawet większość krypto walut o dużej kapitalizacji, które występowały silnie podczas rajdu Bitcoin w listopadzie, takich jak Ethereum i XRP, nie osiągnęły dobrych wyników w ostatnich tygodniach.

Dopóki Bitcoin nie ustabilizuje się i nie ustanowi wyraźnego oporu i poziomu wsparcia, altcoiny mają większe szanse na stagnację wobec pary Bitcoinów.

Cryptomoney funds have recorded almost record inflows over the past few weeks as gold investment products lose liquidity.

A new report from market data aggregator CoinShares revealed a recent increase in the flow of cryptomoney inflows amid record outflows of gold.

The report, released on December 7, notes that gold investment products have recorded record outflows of $9.2 billion in the past four weeks, while BTC products recorded inflows of $1.4 billion.

CoinShares on CNBC: „You could get fired if you don’t own Bitcoin“
The combined cryptomoney fund sector registered record inflows of $429 million in the past two weeks, and the Ethereum funds attracted significant investment after the completion of Phase 0 of Eth2 with the launch of the Beacon Chain on December 1.

Despite representing 14% of the capital locked up in crypto investment products, 20% or $87 million of last week’s capital inflows were invested in funds offering exposure to Ethereum.

The report estimates that a total of $14.9 billion is currently under management in crypt investment products, of which Grayscale Investments accounts for over 83%.

CoinShares Report: Bitcoin Price Remains Stable Despite Rise in Negative News
CoinShares estimates that Grayscale received over $336 million in investments over the last week. ETC Issuance was the second largest crypt provider with receipts of $19 million, followed by 21Shares with $13 million.

Recent price action has seen the percentage of the combined assets of the managed sector represented by monthly inflows soar to its second highest level ever, exceeded only by the growing inflows identified in the run-up to Bitcoin’s halving in 2020. Last month’s inflows represent approximately 0.4% of the sector’s combined assets under management.

While over $4.8 billion has been invested in cryptomoney funds this year, the figure equates to only 10.5% of the $45.7 billion that has been moved into gold investment products this year.

Spielautomaten könnten vollständig aus Prag verschwinden, da die Stadtführer versuchen, die Hauptstadt der Tschechischen Republik von der „süchtig machenden“ Form des Glücksspiels zu befreien.

Der Prager Gesetzgeber stimmte Anfang dieser Woche einem neuen Dekret zu, das ein vollständiges Verbot aller Spielautomaten in der Stadt vorsieht.

Der Gesetzesentwurf soll heute vom Stadtrat erörtert und abgestimmt werden

Nach dem kürzlich eingeführten Gesetz sollten alle mechanischen, elektromechanischen und elektronischen Spiele in Prag aus den 888Casino Spielhallen der Stadt entfernt werden. Dazu gehören unter anderem Spielautomaten und Videolotterieterminals.

Die Rechnung deckt keine Tischspiele ab. Wenn die Gesetzgebung heute die notwendige Unterstützung vom Prager Stadtrat erhält, würde dies zur Schließung aller Spielautomaten in der tschechischen Hauptstadt führen. Luxus-Casinos, die hauptsächlich Touristen bedienen und Tischspiele anbieten, bleiben in Betrieb.

Durch das völlige Verbot von Spielautomaten wird Prag einen großen Steuerzahler verlieren. Laut offiziellen Statistiken erzielten die Glücksspieleinrichtungen der Stadt im vergangenen Jahr Einnahmen in Höhe von 690 Mio. CZK (ca. 30,7 Mio. USD) aus Spielautomaten. Lokale Nachrichtenagenturen berichten, dass die Stadtführer noch keinen Plan ausarbeiten müssen, wie die Verluste ausgeglichen werden können.

Spielautomaten schlecht für die Stadt

Die Prager Stadträtin Hana Kordova Marvanová kommentierte das drohende Verbot von Spielautomaten und sagte, dass die Spielgeräte „ein schlechtes Zeichen für die Stadt sind, weil sie am meisten süchtig machen und mit allen Arten von Verbrechen verbunden sind, also sowohl ein soziales als auch ein soziales Sicherheitsrisiko . “

Der Vorschlag zum Verbot von Spielautomaten ist das dritte Dekret im Zusammenhang mit Glücksspielen, das von den Prager Stadtführern im letzten Jahrzehnt erörtert wurde. Der Prager Mayo Zdenek Hrib stellte fest, dass frühere Bemühungen zur Einschränkung des Glücksspiels in der Stadt nicht besonders erfolgreich waren, da die Glücksspielanbieter Wege gefunden haben , die Gesetze und Vorschriften zu umgehen .

Bürgermeister Hrib fügte hinzu, dass „die Stadtbehörden sofort auf diese Änderungen reagieren müssen, um die pathologischen Phänomene zu reduzieren, die im Zusammenhang mit Spielautomaten auftreten.“

Wenn der Stadtrat das vorgeschlagene Verbot von Spielautomaten heute genehmigt, wird es einige Zeit dauern, bis alle Spielgeräte aus Prag verschwunden sind. Nach dem Entwurf des Dekrets müssen die Betreiber ihre Spielautomaten nach Ablauf ihrer Genehmigungen entfernen. Einige dieser Genehmigungen gelten bis 2023 .

Der Stadtbezirk Prag 7 der tschechischen Hauptstadt verbot 2015 Glücksspieleinrichtungen durch ein von Stadtbeamten unterzeichnetes Dekret. Die letzte Glücksspielstelle in der Region schloss im November 2019 ihre Türen, um das Ende eines Prozesses zu markieren, der länger dauerte als ursprünglich erwartet.

Die Schließung der Glücksspieleinrichtungen in Prag 7 wurde von 92% aller Wähler in einem 2014 abgehaltenen lokalen Referendum unterstützt.

In this article we’ll show you what is related to women and their position on Bitcoin.

Very important, we must break paradigms.

As the Blockchain industry becomes more widespread, women are getting involved in the market, making it no longer a business only for men. As a consequence, women are changing their position on Bitcoin. Excellent for us.

In fact, Bitcoin emerges as an opportunity to consolidate the economic independence of the female population. A woman with access to a computer, smart phone and Internet can download a wallet and save money.

Women and Bitcoin

Indeed, a report published on December 4 by Bitcoin’s fund operator, Grayscale, suggested that 43% of the investors interested in Bitcoin are women.

Furthermore, the report showed that 80% of the women were also intrigued by Bitcoin’s potential. While 93% indicated that they would be more open to investing, if more educational resources were available.

To continue, a study published in December 2019, conducted by IE University’s Center for the Governance of Change (CGC), entitled „Crypto-Currencies and the Future of Money“. It found that women’s adoption of cryptomonies is lower than that of men. Especially in Latin American countries.

Even, according to another analysis by Heidrick & Struggles, fewer women have been chosen as CEOs in the world’s largest companies. Basically, since the beginning of the pandemic.

However, in the world of the Blockchain, more and more women are dominating new professions: investors, traders, analysts, promoters, journalists and even company heads.

In particular, few people are aware that more women are now in leadership positions in the Blockchain and crypto-currency industry.

What do women think?

The truth is, the list of female leaders in the Blockchain industry turns out to be quite long. Here are just a few examples of some women who have been changing the position on Bitcoin.

Lorena Ortiz, the founder of Bitcoin Embassy Bar in Mexico City, is a woman of the Latin American crypto ecosystem. She believes that this economic independence is one of the great advantages of Bitcoin and that women are living a historic moment with BTC.
Fiorella Scantamburlo, the Argentinean cryptology enthusiast. She agrees that education is the force that will change paradigms in the female realm within the cryptomonie ecosystem.

Kaitlin Breitman co-founded Tezos, which raised $232 million in her ICO.
Amber Baldet, helped lead the Blockchain Center of Excellence at JPMorgan for over two years.
The implementation of the well-known Lightning Network protocol was made possible by its founder, Elizabeth Stark.
Some of the key decisions at Coinbase are by Katherine Hawn.

It should be said, that the growing interest of women in Bitcoin can be explained by the attractive investment opportunities in the market. As explained by industry entrepreneur Blockchain Nisa Amoils

„Women can earn more income through trading, investing and spending virtual Bitcoin.

Other Women Taking the Lead

According to several opinions, Blockchain is a great opportunity to gain financial independence.

Tricia Martinez launched the Blockchain Wala platform, which allows women to quickly and easily transfer small amounts of money.
Roya Mahboob and Fereshteh Forough launched Women’s Annex, which offers women the opportunity to blog and earn crypto-currencies from advertising.

World-renowned women also contribute to gender equality in the Blockchain industry, such as Baroness Michelle Mone. She launched her own crypto currency to increase women’s interest in investing in technology.
We continue with the list of women in the industry

Arianna Simpson, is the founder and current CEO of Autonomous Partners.
Connie Gallippi, is the founder and director of BitGive. An organization recognized within the Bitcoin ecosystem, for its cooperative work.
Cristina Carrascosa, lawyer and teacher at Blockchain.

„It doesn’t matter what gender you are, the important thing is what you know about Bitcoin and the value you bring.

Meena Ghyasi, founder of Criptomujer. She discovered that the Blockchain crypto currencies and technology would allow her to have her own money, without having to open a bank account.

To conclude, although there are definitely more women than you can think of in the crypt world, there are still spaces to be claimed.

Coinbase Brokered MicroStrategys $ 425 mio. Bitcoin-køb, siger Exchange

Den amerikanske kryptokurrencyplatform Coinbase muliggjorde MicroStrategys bitcoin-køb på $ 425 millioner tidligere på året, sagde børsen.

I en meddelelse tirsdag afslørede Coinbase, at MicroStrategys oprindelige investering på $ 250 millioner, der fandt sted over en fem-dages periode i august, kom via Coinbase Prime, børsens kryptomæglerarm Bitcoin Up, der blev dannet efter erhvervelsen af ​​Tagomi i maj.

Dette blev fulgt op i september af en yderligere investering på 175 millioner dollars fra det Virginia-baserede business intelligence-firma, hvilket bragte MicroStrategys samlede investering til $ 425 millioner i bitcoin (BTC, -2,35%). MicroStrategy blev det første børsnoterede selskab, der erhvervede en stor bit bitcoin til at holde på sin balance som et primært reserve-aktiv.

Michael Saylor, MicroStrategys administrerende direktør, svarede ikke på CoinDesk’s anmodning om kommentar efter pressetid. Coinbases meddelelse citerede ham fra en tidligere MicroStrategy-pressemeddelelse for at sige, at investering i bitcoin er en del af firmaets „nye tildelingsstrategi.“ Strategien sigter mod at maksimere den langsigtede værdi for aktionærerne, samtidig med at den afspejler kryptokurrencyens anvendelse som en butik af værdi med større „styrkelsespotentiale end at holde kontanter.“

I tirsdagens meddelelse skitserede Coinbase tre grunde til, at MicroStrategy valgte den San Francisco-baserede børs: firmaets smarte ordrerute, handelsalgoritmer og hvidhandske-service. Coinbase sagde også, at det havde været involveret i flere opkald før handel med firmaet under opstartsprocessen og blev bedt om at gennemføre en lille „testhandel“.

Testhandelen vurderede data indsamlet fra Coinbase og blev analyseret af børsens OTC- og dækningshold. Da et optimalt tempo for at minimere markedets indflydelse blev besluttet og udført med succes, modtog Coinbase et grønt lys fra MicroStrategy for at fortsætte med den „større investering.“

Efter testen gennemførte Coinbase realtidshandler ved hjælp af den tidsvægtede gennemsnitsprisalgoritme – en strategi, der tager højde for et aktivs gennemsnitspris over en bestemt tid for at minimere markedspåvirkningen.

„Vores system tager en enkelt stor ordre og deler den i mange små stykker, der udføres på tværs af flere handelssteder,“ sagde Coinbase via e-mail. „Handelteamet opnåede en gennemsnitlig eksekveringspris, der var mindre end den pris, hvor køb startede.“

Åbenbaringen er en bemærkelsesværdig sejr i PR for Coinbase-administrerende direktør Brian Armstrong efter en artikel i New York Times i weekenden, der hævder mishandling af sorte medarbejdere og flere serviceafbrydelser i volatile markedsperioder.

Armstrongs børs kan nu kræve skrytende rettigheder på markedet som den, der hjalp et børsnoteret selskab med at tage et ni-cifret spring på troen på bitcoin som et reserveaktiv.

A Blockseer mining pool announced that it would only mine blocks containing „clean“ transactions, coming from unblacked wallets. Why is this so problematic?

Mining pool censors Bitcoin (BTC) transactions

DMG Blockchain Solutions, the parent company that manages Blockseer, recently announced the change . She explains in a statement that all users will be forced to submit to KYC measures . So far this is not abnormal for a mining pool. But where Blockseer goes further is that it explains that only certain blocks will be validated . The press release states:

„Blocks products on blockchain Profit Revolution by e pool of mining Blockseer only contain the filtered transactions , which will make use of data and Blockseer Walletscore in parallel with verified sources like the blacklist of the Office of Foreign American Assets Control (OFAC). “

This therefore means that the mining pool will only take into account transactions from wallets that are not blacklisted or not reported . Blockseer welcomes what he sees as a breakthrough, explaining:

“Blockseer’s new mining pool will be the first pool in North America that will meet OFAC’s expectations, and even exceed them in terms of compliance for BTC addresses. “

Why is this censorship problematic?

Although it concerns only a mining pool, the news has been noted within the crypto ecosystem because it could set a precedent . Indeed, it could be used by regulators to force other mining pools to censor blocks. This is for example the opinion of Ricardo Spagni, one of the main developers of Monero (XMR), who explained :

“It’s only a matter of time before all Bitcoin mining pools are forced to filter transactions . “

Juraj Bednar, the co-founder of Hacktrophy, also provided some analysis in a blog post . He explains :

“If governments or anti-money laundering organizations want to censor Bitcoin, this is really the first step . “

Bednar explains that governments could ask mining pools not to take into account certain transactions, under penalty of losing their bank account, their authorization as a company, or even threatening them with legal action. The slope is therefore particularly slippery, and it could lead to a situation that would threaten one of the pillars of Bitcoin: its resistance to censorship .

Handelaren gebruiken het meest hefboomeffect ooit als Bitcoin in de buurt van de belangrijkste weerstand

• Bitcoin handelt rond het niveau dat het de afgelopen weken heeft bereikt.
• De stieren wedijveren om boven $13.800 te breken, maar de weerstand is hier vrij significant en toont weinig tekens van het degraderen.
• BTC heeft nu veelvoudige biedingen gemaakt om boven $14.000 te breken, maar elk heeft in het zien van sterke toevloed van het verkopen van druk geresulteerd die het terug naar het medio-$13.000 gebied verzenden.
• Er is een goede kans dat Bitcoin op korte termijn een verhoogde volatiliteit zal beginnen te zien, aangezien de hefboomwerking die door handelaren op marginplatforms zoals Binance wordt gebruikt op een all-time high is.

Bitcoin en de geaggregeerde cryptocurrency markt zijn Crypto Code de afgelopen dagen en weken niet in staat geweest om een duidelijke break-out of breakdowns te plaatsen.

Het handelt nog steeds net onder het cruciale weerstandsniveau van $13.800, een niveau dat zowel analisten als beleggers de afgelopen dagen en weken nauwlettend in de gaten hebben gehouden.

Als dit niveau niet op korte termijn wordt verbroken, kan het uiteindelijk een sterke afwijzing veroorzaken die de prijs lager doet dalen.

Een trend die zou kunnen bijdragen aan de volatiliteit als gevolg van een breakout of een storing is de enorme hefboomwerking die wordt gebruikt op handelsplatformen zoals Binance.

Bitcoin blijft Stagnerende Koersactie zien als Bulls Target $13.800 Breakout

Gisteravond was nogal wisselvallig voor Bitcoin, met de cryptocurrency rally zo hoog als $14.100 voordat het gezicht van de instroom van de verkoop van druk die stuurde het naar $13.700.

Sindsdien is het geconsolideerd en wordt het momenteel verhandeld tegen de huidige prijs van $13.786, iets minder dan 2%.

Dit is slechts een haar onder zijn belangrijkste $13.800 weerstandsniveau dat de afgelopen dagen en weken sterk is gebleven.

Handelaren die het hefboomeffect verhogen als Volatility Looms

Een analytisch bedrijf merkte in een recente tweet op dat Bitcoin-handelaren op marginale handelsplatformen zoals Binance Futures de hefboomwerking die ze gebruiken sterk hebben vergroot.

„BTC Estimated Leverage Ratio at Binance hits the all-time high,“ merkte CryptoQuant op.

Deze trend suggereert dat, zodra Bitcoin een grote beweging maakt, de volatiliteit zal worden verhoogd en mogelijk de toon zal zetten voor waar het zich in de rest van 2020 zal ontwikkelen.

Het zou ook een liquidatiecascade kunnen ontketenen die een sterke neerwaartse trend of een opwaartse trend voedt – afhankelijk van hoe het reageert op 13.800 dollar.
