Het belangrijkste met betrekking tot crypto-wallets is de veiligheid en verantwoordelijkheid van gebruikers.

Na een nieuwe prijsstijging van grote cryptocurrencies eind 2020, begonnen cryptoliefhebbers met hernieuwde kracht valuta’s te delven, verkopen en kopen – wat betekent dat het onderwerp van het bewaren van cryptocurrencies tegenwoordig relevanter is dan ooit.

Maar in tegenstelling tot de eerdere bullish golven, zijn veel gebruikers deze keer ook bezorgd over hoe ze hun bezittingen kunnen beschermen

De blockchain-industrie ontwikkelt zich en handelaren zijn merkbaar slimmer geworden, maar oplichters en dieven zijn ook veel wendbaarder geworden. Dit wordt ook aangegeven door de periodieke verschijning van nieuws met betrekking tot exploits en rug pulls, niet alleen over gewone gebruikers, maar ook over grote beurzen , gedecentraliseerde financiële projecten en zelfs niet- tastbare tokens .

Fraudeurs gebruiken verschillende tools, van het hacken van accounts tot het maken van malware. Zelfs bekende projecten gaan dit lot niet uit de weg. Trezor heeft bijvoorbeeld onlangs nep-apps op Google Play gedetecteerd , die sommige gebruikers hebben getroffen. En eind december 2020 werden meer dan 270.000 klanten van de populaire Ledger-portemonnee bedreigd nadat hun persoonlijke gegevens door een hacker waren blootgesteld .

Dit alles suggereert dat cryptoliefhebbers buitengewoon voorzichtig moeten zijn bij het kiezen van hoe ze hun activa willen opslaan.

Crypto kopen wordt mainstream

In 2021 heeft Bitcoin Bank zich stevig gevestigd als een algemeen geaccepteerd investeringsinstrument en waardeopslag, en het wordt nu vergeleken met goud. Dit werd vooral merkbaar toen institutionele beleggers begonnen met het verkennen en investeren van honderden miljoenen dollars – soms miljarden – in BTC.

Van Jack Dorsey’s Square die onlangs nog eens $ 170 miljoen aan BTC heeft uitgegeven tot M31 Capital die documenten heeft ingediend bij de Securities and Exchange Commission van de Verenigde Staten om een ​​nieuw Bitcoin-hedgefonds te lanceren , crypto wordt mainstream. Bovendien beheert het Bitcoin-vertrouwen van Grayscale Investment nu meer dan $ 37 miljard in BTC, wat suggereert dat institutionele beleggers vertrouwen hebben in het instrument. Al deze voorbeelden werken om crypto te versterken als een haalbare investeringsoptie ook voor particuliere beleggers.

Naast het simpelweg kopen van cryptocurrencies, zijn er ook nieuwe manieren om geld te verdienen op de markt verschenen, zoals gedecentraliseerde financiële protocollen die verschillende op blockchain gebaseerde financiële diensten aanbieden. In feite is dit een zeer goede manier om een ​​vast inkomen in cryptocurrency te krijgen met vrij hoge jaarlijkse rentetarieven.

De opkomst van gedecentraliseerde uitwisselingen heeft het proces van het bezitten en uitwisselen van cryptocurrencies nog verder vereenvoudigd. Deze manier van handelen in cryptocurrencies wint de laatste tijd snel aan populariteit.

Met dergelijke uitwisselingen, zoals Uniswap, kunnen gebruikers transacties rechtstreeks tussen portefeuilles uitvoeren. Deze methode houdt in dat gebruikers moeten weten hoe ze crypto op de juiste manier kunnen opslaan en transacties kunnen uitvoeren via een derde partij.

Experts agree – Bitcoin’s record run is „just getting started“

Whether advocates or critics, experts currently agree that Bitcoin’s current record run is far from over.

While the bulls and the bears are currently battling over whether or not Bitcoin can establish itself above the US$50,000 mark, several experts agree that there is much Bitcoin Revolution further to go for the market-leading cryptocurrency in this record run.

For example, Mike McGlone, the senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, concludes from the historical price performance that the crypto market leader could soon climb to 100,000 US dollars (see below).

Grayscale #Bitcoin Trust Discount May Signal March to $100,000 – Bitcoin’s end of February price disparities on U.S. regulated exchanges portend a firming price foundation, if history is a guide, and are evidence of just how nascent the crypto is. pic.twitter.com/qj6hfTvH8K
– Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) March 4, 2021

McGlone relies on the so-called „GBTC premium“ as an indicator. This is the price difference (premium) between the price of the Grayscale crypto asset management (GBTC) bitcoin investment fund and the price of bitcoin. Usually, this difference is in the positive range, but currently the ratio shows a negative value.

In the past, it has always gone up significantly when the rare case occurs that the price difference is negative. When it was last in negative territory in March 2020, it was followed by the current record run of 3,600 to 58,300 US dollars, so this could now be a good omen.

However, Twitter user Lee Hendricks is not fully convinced by this reasoning and suggests that the price difference could also be attributed to the fact that more and more competition for Grayscale’s investment product is coming onto the market with new Bitcoin index funds (ETFs) and other Bitcoin investment funds. However, this would at least also be positive for Bitcoin.

Bloomberg analyst Glone is not the only expert who believes that Bitcoin still has a lot of room to grow in this cycle. YouTuber and influencer Lark Davis said on 4 March: „#Bitcoin’s record run is just getting started. We’re barely through phase one. Get ready for phase two.“

This #bitcoin bull run has barely even started yet! We are just now past the first major price wave. Get ready for wave 2. pic.twitter.com/kRzAqlB2E8

The technical analyst Kaleo posted another price chart on Twitter on 2 March, from which he deduces that BTC will climb to 100,000 US dollars at the beginning of April.

This is a continuation of a related chart that he had published two years ago

At that time, he had already given a price forecast of 200,000 US dollars for mid-2021. Two weeks ago, Kaleo confirmed that he is still sticking to this prediction:

„This is by far the most accurate long-term forecast chart I’ve seen for Bitcoin so far, $BTC will crack 200,000 before the end of this run.“

Another crypto analyst under the pseudonym MasterChangz takes the same line, showing a bit more confidence to his 10,000 followers by saying that Bitcoin will hit $200,000 before the middle of 2021. In the next two weeks, it would accordingly go to 77,000 US dollars.

In doing so, he also takes his cue from the Bitcoin price chart, pointing to a section that is confusingly similar to the current development (see below). For Changz, this is therefore a kind of „cheat sheet“ for the further price trend.

Since PayPal, Visa and Mastercard withdrew from the disreputable business, Pornhub has been relying on crypto currencies for the payment modalities and has now expanded its portfolio with some prominent coins.

Since more and more payment providers are jumping off the adult site Pornhub, the crypto integration seems only a logical consequence

With the recent addition of XRP, BNB, USDC and DOGE, the selection has risen to currently 16 coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin and the virtually predestined privacy coin Monero and the stablecoin Tether.

With PayPal , Visa and Mastercard , three payment giants distanced themselves from Pornhub in the past year. Erotic sites celebrated a boom in the crisis year . The elimination of payment service providers has created a gap that crypto currencies are now filling.

Due to the high number of users, the integration of cryptocurrencies should not only be dismissed as an amusing side note

Although there are few statistical records, the porn industry has grown into a global, multi-billion dollar industry in recent years. Pornhub is probably the biggest site with over one hundred million visitors a day.

The integration of cryptocurrencies helps private filmmakers to earn a living. In addition, Pornhub is unlikely to make an insignificant contribution to the crypto adaptation. Even if the eye likes to stealthily pass by.

Med Bitcoin-priser som fortsatt korrigerer fra rekordhøye, ser analytikere og ledere i bransjen mot resten av året, og noen mener seks tall fremdeles er mulige.

Bitcoin-prisene handles for tiden litt over 20% ned fra sin heltid forrige uke på $ 42.000. Ting så ut som å komme seg tirsdag 12. januar, men den ‚lavere høye‘ som ble lagt ut indikerer at prisene har falt ytterligere, og korreksjonen er ikke over ennå.

I skrivende stund handlet Bitcoin til $ 33.000, en nedgang på 6% det siste døgnet. I går klarte det bare en intradag-høyde på $ 36.500 før salget ble gjenopptatt.

Bitcoin er i ferd med å danne sitt femte røde daglige lys på rad, noe som ikke har skjedd siden juni 2020, da prisene falt fra $ 10.200 til $ 8.800 ifølge Tradingview.com.

Bitcoin kan slå $ 100 000 i 3. kvartal

Ifølge medstifter av 10T Holdings, Dan Tapiero, er Bitcoin fremdeles på vei til å nå $ 100 000 innen tredje kvartal 2021. Han har tatt dette fra lager-til-strøm-modellen som har vært uhyggelig nøyaktig i å forutsi priser så langt.

Ser på @ 100trillionUSD #bitcoin-diagrammet. Så langt kudos.

Ja 100k veldig mulig innen Q321, men så SIDEWAYS til 2024!

Hva vil bitcoinere gjøre i 3,5 år når mkt svever rundt 2-3 billioner mkt-verdi? #Btc blir stabil uberørt sikkerhet når DAE blir bygget opp rundt det. pic.twitter.com/0GtccORUDm

Den seks-sifrede spådoen gjenspeiler det av JP Morgan-strateger som foreslo en pris på $ 146k på lengre sikt. Makroinvestoren kommenterte at når denne syklusen har nådd sitt høydepunkt, vil det være nesten fire år med sidelengs handling for Bitcoin-markeder til den neste begynner rundt 2024.

Talsmann for S2F-modellen, ‘PlanB’, twitret også nylig at den spiller ut ‘som urverk’ med en forutsagt pris på rundt $ 28 650 og en faktisk pris 16% høyere.

Stock-to-Flow-modellen fremdeles på sporet .. som smurt https://t.co/h2fCs0A3uw

For øyeblikket er prisene over hva dette, og flere andre modeller, forutser at de har beveget seg noe parabolsk den siste måneden. Dette fører alltid til en korreksjon av en viss størrelse når ting faller tilbake til midten av området på disse kartene.

Tekniske analytikere har observert tidligere tilbaketrekninger i området 30-40%, noe som kan senke prisene så lave som $ 25 000 i løpet av denne avkjølingsperioden.

Frykt og grådighetsindeks kjøler seg

En rekke indikatorer som RSI blinket varselskilt om at eiendelen var overkjøpt, så korreksjonen har ikke vært en overraskelse.

Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index, som måler følelser og følelser fra forskjellige kilder, har også avkjølt seg fra over 90, ‚ekstrem grådighet‘, til slutten av 70-tallet, selv om det ikke er i nærheten av noen fryktnivå ennå.

På tidspunktet for skrivingen var de fleste kryptoaktiva i rødt igjen etter forrige lavere høyde på diagrammene, slik at smerten kanskje ikke er over ennå ettersom fortjenesten fjernes fra bordet som forberedelse til neste etappe.

Binance Pool, gruvebassenget som drives av en av kryptos største børser, er forberedt på å støtte Taproot, et godt varsel for neste store Bitcoin-oppgradering. Tillegget av Binance Pool til „ja“ -kolonnen betyr at alle de store bassengene nå er ombord.

Taproot er en skalering og personvernendring som vil være den største oppgraderingen den digitale valutaen har mottatt på flere år – og den er langt mindre kontroversiell enn den forrige.

Ifølge krypto-gruvebasseng Poolin VP Alejandro De La Torre, sier Binance Pool at det vil støtte Taproot-oppgraderingen, og rydde opp i enhver tvetydighet, siden bassenget var det eneste med over 10% av nettverket som ikke hadde sagt „ja“ til forslaget. Binance Pool representerer 11% av Bitcoin-gruvedriftens hashrate, så støtten presser gruvedriftstøtten opp til omtrent 91% av hashratet.

Binance svarte ikke umiddelbart på forespørsel om kommentar.

De La Torre leder Taproot Activation, et initiativ for å finne ut om det er enighet om Taproot som en endring. I følge nettstedet har noen få mindre gruvebassenger, inkludert Lubian.com og BTC.TOP, ikke svart på om de støtter oppgraderingen eller ikke.

Signalering for Taproot

Denne støtten fra gruvearbeidere kommer i sterk kontrast til SegWit, Bitcoins siste store oppgradering, som ble aktivert i 2017. SegWit ble distribuert ved hjelp av BIP 9, noe som krever at 95% av gruvebassengflagget støtter endringen før endringen offisielt ville bli aktivert. For å blokkere forandringen flagg gruvedrift rett og slett ikke,

Så langt har gruvebassenger ikke noe problem med Taproot. Binance Pools støtte er et tegn på at endringen snart kan aktiveres hvis ingen finner noen form for dødelig feil i den.

Disse nyhetene er spesielt følsomme fordi hvis Taproot blir distribuert ved hjelp av BIP 9, vil gruvebassenger måtte merke at de er klare for endringen før den kan aktiveres.

Men det er fortsatt en del debatt om denne prosessen. Mekanikken til selve Taproot er ikke kontroversiell. Bitcoin Loophole mest aktive utviklere er helt enige om at det er en positiv endring.

Likevel, hvordan distribuere endringen er fremdeles oppe til debatt. I løpet av de siste månedene har utviklere diskutert den beste måten å distribuere Taproot på. For å forenkle en kompleks debatt, mener noen BIP 8 ville være bedre fordi det ikke tillater gruvedrift å blokkere forandringen av treghet eller apati.

Å vite at gruvebassenger, som Binance Pool, støtter endringen, kan gi BIP 9 et løft.

Passive investment in the world of traditional finance is, well … passive. And it is not just the fact that passive indices give investors access to shares without having to do anything about the composition of the index. It is also the case that holding shares is fundamentally a passive game.

No obligation as a shareholder
Having a share entitles the investor to economic and administrative rights within a company, but there are no performance obligations as a shareholder. As Bitcoin Evolution a shareholder, it is perfectly fine simply to hold a share forever, collect dividends and enjoy capital growth over time by holding shares in a company.

Even if a shareholder were to exercise his administrative rights, there are limits to what he can do. Of course, shareholders can do things like vote for new board members, adjust management remuneration and approve or reject important financial transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions.

Daily business
But shareholders do not manage companies directly. Apple shareholders do not set prices for Apple’s newest iPhones, nor do Amazon shareholders determine which new markets Amazon should enter. Usually, apart from activist situations, shareholders are absent when it comes to a company’s activities. And the same can be said for index funds which, although they own a significant proportion of most listed companies, cannot exercise power.

Crypto is another story.

Keeping tokens is active
Holding Tokens is an active game. In many cases, token holders directly control the protocols and take on the risks of the protocols. In Synthetix, token holders actively store synthetic assets and manage the debt of the protocols. In Aave, token holders actively determine the risk parameters of their credit markets and insure the protocol in the event of insolvency events.

And at Nexus Mutual, token holders arrange the transactions between them and determine which claims are paid out. To perform these activities, active token holders receive protocol rewards in the form of fees (tokens), while passive token holders often receive nothing.

Indexes compete
In general, indices are a capital accumulation game in which index providers compete for trillions of dollars of capital from investors. The way to attract investors is by offering them incentives that meet their asset exposure and diversification needs (i.e., what’s in an index).

But the composition of an index is only half the game in the crypto world. The other half is what the tokens in an index do for an investor’s assets, because crypto assets are meant to be productive.

More features
Most crypto projects recognise the fact that holding tokens is an active game. Many index products, such as those from PowerPool and PieDAO, are implemented as forks from Balancer liquidity pools, which means that assets in the pool are made available to trade against. But now protocols go a step further by adding features such as meta-governance and fund management strategies. The combined functions provide index investors with a combination of governance delegation and return strategies on their tokens, which are the basis for enticing investors to buy these indices for reasons beyond the composition of the index.

This is just the beginning. The next development is when passive investment turns into passive participation. Ryan Watkins explains this well in the wire below.

Shares of Taurus, a weapons manufacturer, rose more than 170% in Brazil, a good result but very far from Bitcoin which valued more than 400% in Brazil

One of the shares that gained the most value in 2020 in Brazil was Taurus, a weapons manufacturer that appears in the leadership among the shares that make up the Small Cap Index (SMLL).

However, although the profitability is expressive, it is still far from the appreciation of Bitcoin Champion review in the year that had more than 220% appreciation, in its value in dollars. When compared to its value in reais, Bitcoin had more than 400% appreciation going from R$ 29 thousand at the beginning of 2020 to more than R$ 122 thousand at the time of writing.

Thus, according to a survey conducted by Yubb, in the comparison between the 5 small caps shares with the best performance during the year, Taurus appears in 1st place, with a valuation of 178.30%.

„The shares of small caps companies have a great potential for appreciation at the present time. In moments of crisis, large companies are usually the main ones impacted, mainly by their size. Therefore, the small caps can suffer less impact on the crises, mainly the most sectorized ones“, explains Bernardo Pascowitch, Yubb founder.

Still according to the executive, Taurus growth comes from recently announced measures.

At the beginning of the month, the company declared that it will invest $ 110 mns in its plant in Rio Grande do Sul to amplify the production capacity.

Besides, the stock market government is announcing measures with fiscal reduction for the arms market, which impels the company’s demand and, consequently, values its stocks.

„But it is worth remembering that, at the same time, the federal government tried, without success, to zero tariffs on arms imports and this has harmed Taurus and its actions,“ says the executive.

Bitcoin

For João Canhada, Foxbit?s CEO, this brand is something historical and that revealed another Bitcoin surprise in 2020 that doesn’t stops breaking records and barriers.

„Historically who bought and kept Bitcoin for 3 years was on the profit, once more the thesis was proved. Bitcoin finds in this chaotic 2020 the ideal scenario to overcome gold and prove itself as a global reserve currency, with all the qualities of this asset is the big bet to beat inflation and the heavy hand of governments printing money to pay the Covid bill“ reveals Canhada.

Still according to Canhada, part of this high is because of having a lot of institutional money entering the market, more than 30% of every dollar in circulation in the world was printed this year, investors are looking for assets that can protect their buying power, many companies and funds publicly announcing positions in bitcoin, or future purchases on a large scale.

„The high of 2017 was of individuals to 2020 are of legal entities (companies) that are entering the market of cryptomoedas“ concludes.

Weapons on the rise, education on the decline

In the case of stocks in Brazil, while weapons are on the rise, education is on the decline.

Thus, in the five biggest falls, the IRB Brazil heads the ranking, with a 79.04% drop. There were suspicions of fraud in its former board of directors, which may have impacted the fall, but in second and third position are the education companies.

There is a marked recovery in the cryptographic market. Yesterday, bitcoin surpassed $19,300 for the first time since December 2017, the airwaves passed the $600 mark and XRP is showing weekly growth of more than 100%.

Denis Voskvitsov, head of the Exantech financial company, believes that the 2021 bitcoin may well exceed the historic high of $20,000. However, he notes:

„Bitcoin has growth and decline cycles associated with halving. In the first year, the bitcoin accelerates, then the hippe dies and quotes go down. In general, during the correction period, bitcoins give up to 80% of the increase during the bullish cycle (not the price).

From Voskvitzov’s point of view, Bitcoin can really show ‚astronomical‘ growth, in theory even a rise to $500,000 or $1,000,000 is possible, because this cryptographic currency is designed to be more expensive. But there are several risks that could prevent the value of the cryptovite from rising. One of them is the emergence of a competitor that could cause Bitcoin to lose its leadership like Yahoo! and Netscape once did.

Another risk is government policy. If a hippie is formed around the cryptovoltaic currency, as in 2017, the rate of capitalisation of the bitcoin compass may cause governments to fear systemic risks. Therefore, the next round of growth will depend on the ability to survive regulatory pressure, the expert stressed. Voskvitzov said that the next round of growth will depend on the ability to survive the pressure of the regulators:

„Many countries are developing their own digital tokens of national currencies, which hypothetically should create competition for bitcoin. However, they have a problem with centralisation, so projects such as Bitcoin will be popular“.

Voskvitzov also emphasises that retail buyers are now entering the market, many of whom are already priced too high for bitcoin. At the same time, other cryptocurrencies are still cheap against this background, even after leaps of tens and hundreds of percent over the last week. Voskvitov says:

„In recent years, the news background has been mainly related to bitcoin, now it’s really time for altokoin. Despite the proximity of Bitcoin to the highs of December 2017, the mood of the cryptographic markets is now at the end of 2016, when the era of altokoin and mass mining was just beginning. Althcoins have just begun their upward journey and may approach their historic highs before Christmas.“

He warned that a correction may begin after the rally. Judging by the fall in the Bitcoin Domination Index, we have an interesting dynamic ahead of us around the altokhoins, the expert suggested. According to him, coins worth a few cents may show the highest percentage growth, as it is more comfortable for psychologically unprofessional investors to think that the theoretical benefit from the growth of such an asset can be much higher than that of coins worth hundreds of dollars.
