Bitcoin Price Touches $5,500 as Uptrend Remains in Place

By -
Image
In the volatile world of cryptocurrency, everything stands or falls with Bitcoin. While altcoins may show some independent momentum now and then, it won’t fool experienced traders in the slightest. As of right now, the Bitcoin price is moving up ever so slightly, as the $5,500 level has come into play again. Can the Bitcoin Price Sustain the Growth? To date, it has been a rather interesting year for Bitcoin in many different ways. After overcoming a major price retrace, it would appear the world’s leading cryptocurrency is moving in the right direction again. Although the $5,600 level might not necessarily be retaken this week, it seems unlikely a drop below $5,000 will materialize, which is what most people are interested in. Over the past 24 hours, the Bitcoin price has gained 2.08%, which is more than respectable. This gain allowed the BTC value to briefly surpass $5,500 again, although it seems likely that will remain a level of contention for some time to come.  It is a

By -
Image
22 percent of institutional investors already have exposure to digital assets. This is according to a new report by Fidelity Investments, one of the largest asset managers in the world. The report goes against many crypto skeptics who have been quick to state that institutions are no longer interested in digital assets. The survey polled 441 institutional investors between November last year and February this year. Interestingly, this was a time in which cryptos hit their lowest levels. Nevertheless, institutional investors remained unfazed, with interest in digital assets never really dwindling. Tom Jessop, the president of Fidelity’s digital assets division explained, “We never saw a decline in interest or sentiment during the crypto winter.” The survey revealed that 47 percent of institutional investors view digital assets as “having a place in their portfolios.” The investors, who include crypto funds, also disclosed their preferred investment methodology. 72 percent prefer to

In the cryptocurrency world, there is never a shortage of new and interesting projects. Some of these ventures will be more successful than others, although most of the offerings will find their niche market sooner or later. Lightning Hosted is perhaps one of the more interesting projects as of late, although it might not necessarily appeal to everyone. The Purpose of Lightning Hosted On the surface, the exact purpose of Lightning Hosted might not make too much sense just yet. However, this image hosting service which uses Bitcoin’s Lightning Network could certainly prove to be useful in the long run. The main purpose is to effectively create a way to share advertising revenue with users accordingly. The Lightning Network is quite versatile in its own right, although this is not necessarily the kind of service people would expect to see at this stage. How Does it Work? There are a few interesting aspects to Lightning Hosted. First of all, users can upload images, yet they will h

The following media franchises all have a total revenue which is lower compared to Bitcoin’s market cap. Do keep in mind this is not intended to be derogatory toward these franchises. This article was written when Bitcoin had a market cap of $95.5 billion. Star Wars – Estimated at $65 billion Most people alive on the planet today are familiar with Star Wars. The movie franchise spawned many books, a few TV shows, video games, and tons of merchandise. All factors combined attribute to the estimated $65bn in total revenue generated by this media franchise.

Top 6 Tips Prior to Investing in Initial Exchange Offerings

By -
Image
In the world of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and assets, there will always be some new trends worth keeping an eye on. As of right now, the focus has seemingly shifted to Initial Exchange Offerings, or IEOs. It is an interesting business model, although interested participants have to take a few precautions prior to becoming eligible for these offerings. Register and Verify Your Exchange Account As normal as it may seem, some people assume an Initial Exchange Offering will not necessarily require an exchange account to be properly verified. That is often far from the case, although there may be some exceptions along the way. Anyone who is interested in IEOs should ensure their exchange account is verified as quickly as possible, simply to avoid not being eligible for participation. Most of these exchanges also require verification to unlock higher trading volumes, after all. Not all offerings are Legitimate Even though the Initial Exchange Offering business model is designed to wee

Advancements in the scientific and robots industry can lead to many new breakthroughs. The University of Maryland is making a fair bit of headlines in this regard. More specifically, one of its engineers is in favor of equipping all ambulances with medical robots to haul trauma patients. These robots will gain additional knowledge through machine learning. Robots Will Save Human Lives, Eventually A lot of people are still confused when it comes to potentially having robots interact with them in a medical sense. That doesn’t necessarily mean those people are not confident this technology can succeed in the long run, yet most are not keen on being guinea pigs in this regard. For trauma patients, introducing robots in ambulances can make a world of difference. In fact, it can potentially help save more lives in the future, especially as these robots become smarter over time.

Electrum Botnet Steals $4.6m in Bitcoin From Over 150,000 Victims

By -
Image
The cryptocurrency community remains subject to a lot of potential scams in this day and age. Although that is nothing new, it would appear some of these attacks are a lot more successful than others. One recently discovered “Electrum botnet ” has successfully stolen $4.6m worth of Bitcoin from victims in recent months. It is expected over 150,000 users have been infected by this malware already. Beware of the Electrum Botnet When it comes to dealing with cryptocurrencies and their associated wallets, nearly all projects have a version of Electrum available to its users. In the case of Bitcoin, it would appear the Electrum wallet has been very popular for some time now, which also makes it a prone target for criminals and individuals with nefarious intentions. It would appear a dedicated botnet is now targeting these users, and is doing so in a rather successful manner as well. Most of these attacks have been apparent since December of 2018. A bit of odd timing, considering ho
