A montadora posteriormente exclui um aviso para não enviar Bitcoin Cash ou Bitcoin SV como pagamento de pedidos, mas para BCH / BTC, o dano foi feito.

O controverso Bitcoin Up spin-off do Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ) atingiu novas mínimas de todos os tempos contra a sua controladora depois que a Tesla rejeitou publicamente o seu uso para pagamentos.

Em uma série de tweets em 24 de março, o CEO e „Technoking“ Elon Musk confirmou que os clientes dos EUA agora podiam comprar um Tesla usando BTC – mas sua empresa evitou „produtos de garfo“ como o BCH.

Tesla: Não nos envie nada além de BTC

O Bitcoin Cash derivou da blockchain Bitcoin em agosto de 2017 e desde então permaneceu uma entidade controversa dentro da criptomoeda.

Os proponentes alegam supremacia sobre o Bitcoin graças às taxas do BCH serem muito mais baixas, enquanto as transações também tendem a levar menos tempo para serem compensadas e exigir menos recursos.

A narrativa assumiu várias formas ao longo dos anos, com advocacy variando de passiva a beligerante, enquanto o BCH / BTC continua a atingir novos pontos baixos. Na quarta-feira, os titulares do BCH receberam pela primeira vez menos de 1% de um Bitcoin – 0,089 BTC – por 1 BCH.

O movimento de aceitação do Bitcoin da Tesla pareceu impulsionar a desaceleração. A documentação de suporte identificou originalmente o BCH e seu companheiro Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV ( BSV ), como sendo inadequados para pagamento.

„Você não pode fazer compras conosco usando qualquer outro ativo digital, incluindo produtos de fork do Bitcoin, como Bitcoin Cash e Bitcoin SV“, afirmou a empresa.

„Nossa carteira digital Bitcoin não está configurada para detectar ou receber ativos digitais que não sejam Bitcoin.“

Dotcom destrói a Lightning Network

O fraseado chocou com os detentores do BCH, que frequentemente apregoam o altcoin como sendo o Bitcoin „real“. Entre eles estava o empresário Kim Dotcom, que censurou Musk sobre o esnobe.

„Experimente e compre um refrigerante com Bitcoin“, ele tuitou indignado.

A Tesla já havia removido o conteúdo, simplesmente alertando os compradores para não enviarem nenhuma outra criptomoeda para um endereço BTC diferente do próprio Bitcoin. Isso não foi suficiente para extinguir o acalorado debate, no entanto, enquanto os apoiadores rivais discutiam sobre o que é uma fonte perene de angústia.

„Satoshi não imaginou o Bitcoin como uma nova classe de banco controlado pelas mesmas estruturas de poder corruptas de nosso sistema financeiro atual“, continuou Dotcom.

SkyBridge Capital a déposé une demande d’ETF Bitcoin en partenariat avec First Trust Advisors.

A déposé une demande de fonds négocié en bourse Bitcoin

La société d’investissement basée à New York SkyBridge Capital a déposé une demande de fonds négocié en bourse Bitcoin (BTC), ou ETF, auprès de la Securities and Exchange Commission des États-Unis.

SkyBridge a déposé le dépôt le 19 mars en partenariat avec le conseiller en placement First Trust Advisors. First Trust agira à titre de conseiller du fonds et Skybridge agira à titre de sous-conseiller.

Les documents indiquent que le First Trust SkyBridge Bitcoin Code cherchera à inscrire ses actions à la Bourse de New York Arca. Un symbole boursier n’a pas encore été annoncé pour le fonds.

Le dépôt souligne que la fiducie offrira un moyen réglementé aux investisseurs d’obtenir une exposition au Bitcoin sans avoir à conserver l’actif numérique et permettra aux investisseurs d’exécuter des transactions par l’intermédiaire de leurs courtiers.

Le First Trust SkyBridge ETF Trust est désormais l’une des nombreuses applications pour un ETF Bitcoin qui attend actuellement un verdict de la SEC.

Le 11 mars, le gestionnaire d’actifs basé à New York, WisdomTree, a soumis sa dernière demande de FNB Bitcoin, à la suite d’une tentative d’approbation d’un fonds qui détiendrait jusqu’à 5% de son portefeuille dans des contrats à terme Bitcoin bien qu’il se concentre sur l’énergie et les métaux au milieu. -2020.

La principale banque d’investissement américaine Morgan Stanley a déposé une demande de Bitcoin ETF en partenariat avec la société de services financiers axés sur la cryptographie NYDIG le 16 février. Le fonds proposé serait exclusivement disponible pour les investisseurs détenant au moins 2 millions de dollars d’actifs auprès de la société.

La SEC a également reçu des demandes distinctes pour des ETF Bitcoin

En janvier, la SEC a également reçu des demandes distinctes pour des ETF Bitcoin de la part des principaux émetteurs de produits négociés en bourse VanEck et Valkyrie Digital, basée au Texas.

En l’absence de fonds négocié en bourse, le manque de produits d’investissement réglementés offrant une exposition au prix du Bitcoin semble inciter les investisseurs américains à spéculer sur les actions d’entreprises de premier plan opérant dans le secteur des actifs numériques.

Le 22 mars, le vice-président de la stratégie des actifs numériques de Fundstrat, Leeor Shimron, a révélé que les actions des quatre plus grandes sociétés minières de Bitcoin cotées en bourse avaient surpassé Bitcoin de 455% en moyenne au cours des 12 derniers mois. Commentant les données à CNBC, Shimron a déclaré:

«Jusqu’à ce qu’un ETF Bitcoin soit approuvé, les investisseurs peuvent considérer les sociétés minières publiques comme l’un des seuls moyens d’obtenir une exposition au Bitcoin.»

Elon Musk doesn’t seem to like what Binance CEO thinks of him regarding DOGE and BTC. Musk responds via Twitter.

Changpeng Zhao, Binance CEO, posted a statement on Bloomberg

It was about Elon Musk and his relationship with Dogecoin. He is very surprised that the Tesla CEO is such a huge Dogecoin enthusiast. Binance’s CEO thinks Musk isn’t seriously involved in Dogecoin. Rather, he assumes that Musk sympathizes with Dogecoin for unknown personal reasons. His statement suggests that Musk is primarily making fun of the Dogecoin hype. Especially since he invested in Bitcoin with Tesla and not in Dogecoin.

Shortly afterwards, the Tesla CEO responded via Twitter.

Tesla’s action does not directly reflect my opinion. Having some bitcoin, which is simply a less stupid form of liquidity than cash, is adventurous enough for an S&P500 company.

Elon Musk via Twitter

At the beginning of the year, DOGE was the victim or beneficiary of numerous pump & dump campaigns. The Tesla CEO couldn’t stand idly by and called Dogecoin the “people’s crypto” (via Twitter). However, he also expressed concern that DOGE’s degree of centralization was too high. Musk’s tweet has since stabilized the DOGE rate. It cannot be denied that the Tesla CEO has sympathy for Dogecoin. Finally, he announced via Twitter that he had bought the meme cryptocurrency for his son.

Samson Mow, CSO of Blockstream , commented on Musk’s tweet: „You’re just sad that you didn’t buy sooner“. Mow refers to the already relatively high entry price for which Tesla bought BTC .

However, Musk also claimed it would be foolish not to seek alternative investments while „fiat money has negative real rates“

Positive reactions to a $1.9 trillion stimulus package combine to crush Bitcoin’s bullish sentiment.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell below USD 35,000 on January 15, as the renewed strength of the US dollar put pressure on the larger crypt currency. BTC bounced off support at USD 34,300 and is trading at USD 35,300 at the close of that year.

Bitcoin is heading towards the USD 30,000
Data from Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView shows that the BTC/USD reached its lowest level in over 24 hours on Friday, with USD 34,000 so far acting as support.

Tor-based Bitcoin nodes back online after network failure
The previous day, the pair recovered to the $40,000 level for a brief moment before falling back into the range in a corridor that had formed at the beginning of the week. The latest drop reinforced the assumption that Bitcoin would continue in this corridor, which has USD 30,000 as support and USD 40,000 as a rough ceiling.

„The consolidation of #Bitcoin is very healthy for the market after the massive momentum movement to USD 41,500,“ explained Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michaël van de Poppe in a series of tweets.

„Bitcoin is approaching a rebound area here as we reject the crucial resistance of around USD 40,000. Completely healthy.
Halving analysis suggests a „7x up potential“
Bitcoin’s new recession coincided with a rebound in the US dollar currency index (DXY) as a result of President-elect Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus plan. Despite the severity of this US dollar supply expansion, markets seemed to react favourably to the plans, driving the DXY upwards at the expense of Bitcoin, with which it normally correlates inversely.

The Bitcoin bubble will burst sooner or later, says a famous Russian critic
„Context: the dollar is rising in multiple time frames. A fairly strong recovery in a support Bitcoin Up area of several months. Some argue that this is bad for Bitcoin, gold and risky assets, hence the narrative,“ said Cointelegraph internal analyst Joseph Young.

Young noted that in the derivatives markets, investors who „buy the fall“ were causing them additional headaches, potentially clouding the prospects for a relief rally.

However, on a broader perspective, Bitcoin underperformed compared to previous bullish cycles. According to the on-chain analysis resource Ecoinometrics, this left the door open for more remarkable gains.

„Since the growth of the previous cycles we still have 7 times the upside potential“.

2020 har været et produktivt år for Bitcoin, og det har korreleret med en massiv stigning i mængden af ​​de aktive tegnebogadresser i år.

Indsigten kom fra kryptokurrencyanalyse Coin Metrics ‚ State of the Network-rapport, der skitserede de vigtigste takeaways fra rummet i 2020

Mens Covid-19 har hæmmet økonomier rundt om i verden, har kryptovalutaområdet haft en periode med stor genopblussen.

Ikke mere, så Bitcoin, der er brudt fri for sine lænker for at sætte nye all-time højder i 2020 .

‚Return of Bitcoin‘

Hovedparten af ​​artiklen er centreret omkring Bitcoins comeback-år og indflydelsen af ​​institutionelle investeringer, der endelig kommer ind i kryptovaluta-rummet på en meningsfuld måde.

Artiklen omtalte betydelige investeringer fra f.eks.MicroStrategy, Square, MassMutual og andre almindelige finansielle institutioner og investorer, der kørte den stigende værdi af Bitcoin.

En nøglemåling identificeret af Coin Metrics-forsker Nate Maddrey var antallet af aktive Bitcoin-adresser – som har oplevet en stigning på 100 procent fra omkring 600.000 aktive adresser til 1,2 millioner.

Maddrey noterede sig også, at Bitcoins minebelønning halveredes i 2020, idet den havde en tilfældig timing med igangværende finanspolitiske stimulusforanstaltninger, der blev anvendt af den amerikanske regering.

El interés hacia el Grayscale Bitcoin Trust en las próximas semanas será clave para determinar si el BTC es realmente preferido por las instituciones, dijeron los analistas de JPM.

Aunque Bitcoin se ha recuperado de sus vigorosas pérdidas de precios durante la masacre del Día de Acción de Gracias, los analistas de JPMorgan Chase & Co creen que todavía pueden producirse más descensos.

Los estrategas señalaron que Grayscale, a través de su Bitcoin Trust, desempeñará un papel importante en la futura evolución de los precios de la BTC.

¿Bitcoin se dirigirá más al sur?

La semana pasada, la criptodivisa primaria alcanzó un nuevo máximo anual de 19.500 dólares; por lo tanto, se alejó menos del 3% del máximo histórico de 20.000 dólares de 2017. A medida que la comunidad comenzó a especular sobre cuánto tiempo tardará en superar ese nivel, la tendencia se invirtió de forma feroz.

Bitcoin se dirigió al sur y perdió más de 3.000 dólares de valor en horas. Sin embargo, la cripto-moneda ha recuperado la mayor parte de sus pérdidas y comercia al norte de 18.000 dólares.

Un análisis de JPM, dirigido por Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, dijo recientemente que las caídas de precios del Día de Acción de Gracias habían despejado „la espuma anterior en el posicionamiento de los comerciantes del impulso“. Sin embargo, los estrategas insinuaron que Bitcoin aún podría bajar.

„Los operadores de impulso, como los asesores de comercio de materias primas y otros fondos cuantitativos, probablemente jugaron un gran papel en la caída al deshacerse de las posiciones largas de los futuros de Bitcoin. Los operadores impulsivos tienen espacio para propagar“ la caída de Bitcoin, señalaron los analistas citados por Bloomberg.

Además de abordar los „operadores de impulso“, los estrategas también discutieron otras razones detrás de la evolución de los precios. Entre ellas, los rumores de nuevas regulaciones propuestas por la administración de Trump y la toma de beneficios.

La escala de grises es clave

Los estrategas de JPM también destacaron el importante papel de Grayscale y su Grayscale Bitcoin Loophole Trust en el mercado. El gestor de criptografía es la empresa preferida por los inversores institucionales para recibir exposición a Bitcoin (y otros activos digitales) sin preocuparse por el almacenamiento de los fondos.

Esto se ha ejemplificado hasta el año 2020, ya que Grayscale ha informado de forma consecutiva de los resultados trimestrales de los registros. Los activos bajo gestión (AUM) han explotado en los últimos 12 meses hasta superar los 10.000 millones de dólares. Como era de esperar, el Grayscale Bitcoin Trust tiene la mayor parte.

Los analistas afirmaron que si hay un descenso en el interés hacia el GBTC, esto podría dañar la narrativa de que Bitcoin se ha convertido en un favorito entre los inversores institucionales:

„Un fracaso del Grayscale Bitcoin Trust para recibir entradas adicionales en las próximas semanas también pondría en duda la idea de que los inversores institucionales, como las oficinas familiares, se han embarcado en una tendencia de adoptar Bitcoin como oro digital en sustitución del oro tradicional como inversión a largo plazo“.

Bitcoin’s price is defending the $15,000 support and chain data indicates that the rebound may exceed $16,000.

After rejecting the $15,960 on November 6, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been vigorously defending the $15,000 support level. Based on four points of chain data, analysts believe that the rally could continue beyond $16,000.

Analysts have pointed to a lower reserve of Bitcoin in the exchanges, an offer that remains unchanged, an increase in „stronger hands“ and unrealised profits as factors for the rally to continue.

According to Coinmarketcap, Bitcoin’s market capitalisation is currently $286,937,402,262.

The number of BTCs in the exchanges has fallen

Recently, Delphi Digital, an independent cryptomontage research and consultancy company, published a report on the prospects for the Bitcoin market.

Paul Burlage, an analyst at Delphi, said that chain metrics generally show good momentum for the price of Bitcoin.

Since February 11, Bitcoin’s foreign exchange reserves fell from 2.96 million to 2.41 million. In dollar terms, a drop of 550,000 BTC is equivalent to $6.36 billion.

The fall in Bitcoin’s foreign exchange reserves is an optimistic development because it means that fewer sellers are depositing BTCs in the exchanges. Burlage said:

„On 11 February 2020, BTC on exchanges reached an all-time high of about $2.96 million. At the time of writing, $BTC on exchanges is at approx. This current trend has seen a divergence between the availability and price of Bitcoin, suggesting a more sustainable upward movement for $BTC“.

BTC supply peaks with no movement

While fewer sellers have been moving their funds to the exchanges, BTC’s immovable supply remains high.

On September 9, Burlage explained that the percentage of Bitcoin Bonanza Scam  unmoved offer reached a historic high of 63.5%. Since then, it has decreased slightly to 62%, but considering that the price has increased substantially, this is a positive measure. He said:

„We have seen a slight decrease in the percentage of supply that has not moved in the last year during the last week. After reaching an all-time high of nearly 63.5% of the supply not moved on September 9, we are now close to 62.0%.“

This shows that investors are increasing Bitcoin’s „HODLing“, despite the recent rally and are not taking big profits yet.

There are still no clear signs of a cap

The number of „weak hands“ or speculative buyers has decreased significantly in recent weeks, while stronger hands have increased.

The exit of short term buyers and the entry of long term „HODLers“ indicate that Bitcoin could be in for a prolonged rebound.

This trend coincides with Bitcoin’s resistance above $15,000 and shows that the previously very strong resistance level is close to becoming a support zone. Burlage noted that:

„Although the local highs for ‚weak hands‘ are tending to fall, we cannot confirm that the recent speculative base rise has formed a cap. That said, the increased trend suggests that the stronger hands are populating the short-term bands rather than the speculators“.

Bitcoin’s unrealised gains indicate that the rally may continue

In July 2019, the price of Bitcoin reached a peak of about $14,000. At that time, Glassnode’s technical director, Rafael Schultze-Kraft, said that Bitcoin’s Relative Unrealised Profit reached 0.64.

Currently, even though the price of Bitcoin is above $15,000, the Relative Unrealised Profit is 0.53. This shows that BTC has the potential to see a wider rebound before a major setback.

On Sunday, November 15, in the network of the sixth most capitalized cryptovoltaic Bitcoin Cash held a planned hardfork.

However, the largest client of Bitcoin Cash ABC until recently did not get the support of the community, and the Bitcoin Cash Blockchain was divided into two backwardly incompatible chains.

The update was scheduled for 12:00 UTC, but its activation was delayed by almost two hours. It happened at 14:13 UTC on block 661,447, which was the last joint block for Bitcoin Cash ABC and BCHN.

Four minutes later, Antpool found a block 661,448, which already exclusively supports BCHN. The next block in the circuit of Bitcoin Lifestyle remained undiscovered.

– Bitcoin Cash | P2P Electronic Cash (@bch_pls) November 15, 2020

Update 1: An hour after activation of the update at 15:13 UTC circuit BCHN went five blocks ahead. There are still no new blocks in the BCHABC circuit.

Update 2: The first after hardfork block in the BCHABC chain was found at 15:55 UTC. The BCHN chain at this point was on block 661,663.

Update 3: As of 21:00 UTC, the BCHN network is in front of 37 blocks, which finally confirms the division of Bitcoin Cash into two separate chains.

The BCHABC hash rate, as can be seen in the chart below, has reached a steep peak and is only 0.22 EH/s. The corresponding BCHN hash rate after a slight drop went up and reached 1.41 EH/s.

Over the past seven days in support of BCHN signaled 84.2% nodes, 15.8% with no choice, the ABC Bitcoin Cash client has no supporters.

Futures markets also support BCHN as the dominant chain after November 15. Before hardfork, BCHN contracts were traded at 0.94 BCH, BCHA – 0.06 BCH.

In anticipation of hardfork, the price of Bitcoin Cash was experiencing increased volatility, falling $260 to $245 three blocks before the activation of the update and returning to levels above $250 just before the event. In addition, there were delays in the generation of new blocks – at some point, the pause was almost an hour.

Recall that the leading developer of Bitcoin Cash ABC Amory Seshe announced the network update in August this year. To date, all the nodes of the network, in order not to remain in an alternative chain, had to update their software, otherwise they will remain.

The update introduces a new complexity recalculation algorithm called ASERT. It is expected that together with it, the problem of delaying the formation of new blocks will disappear.

Another innovation of Bitcoin Cash ABC is the Coinbase Rule feature, which rejects all blocks that do not contribute to the Bitcoin Cash development fund. It is this aspect that caused the main contradictions – a significant part of the community did not agree with this proposal, releasing BCHN client in response without the support of this option.

One of the main supporters of Bitcoin Cash and executive chairman of Bitcoin.com Roger Ver stated in an interview with CoinDesk that if PayPal payment company knew about the controversial hardfork, it would probably refuse to support the asset.

In the run-up to the update, most exchanges have frozen trading and input and output, but their policy on hardfork varies.

Bitfinex will open the spot markets BCHABC/USD and BCHN/USD as soon as possible by taking a preliminary network snapshot during the upgrade. Deposits and withdrawals to BCHABC and BCHN will not be available until the exchange is confident that the respective chains are in a stable state.

The corresponding confirmation, in spite of the fact that blocks in the BCHABC network were not found, came shortly after the update activation:
