Citibank manager Tom Fitzpatrick believes that by 2021 Bitcoin will pass the $300,000 mark. A rather encouraging prediction.

Tom Fitzpatrick, managing director of Citibank, indicated that the price of Bitcoin could reach $318,000 by next year. Due to the economic uncertainty and comparing it to the gold market for the 70’s.

In particular, Tom Fitzpatrick based his prediction that Bitcoin would reach $318,000 on an analysis of previous market highs and lows. This compares with gold yields in the early 1970s.

Tom Fitzpatrick indicates that Bitcoin will reach $318,000

True, this is not Fitzpatrick’s first price calculation. As Larry Cermak, a researcher in the crypto coin industry, pointed out, Fitzpatrick has made questionable price calculations in the past. For example, in 2013, he claimed that gold was headed for $3,500.

Indeed, through a report aimed at Citibank MD institutional clients. Fitzpatrick compared Bitcoin’s first big upward run, between 2010 and 2011, with the rise in the price of gold in the 1970s.

In the report „Bitcoin: 21st Century Gold,“ leaked on Twitter on Nov. 13, Fitzpatrick assessed the shortage of Crypto Method. Especially, assuring that we are in a digital age. He argued that „gold is a 21st century asset“.

Similarly, Tom Fitzpatrick considered the ability of Bitcoin owners to easily transfer value around the world important. In other words, Bitcoin’s degree of privacy is seen as part of its value.

The Citibank report

Citibank’s analysis contains a price forecast for next year. It states that we could see a new record for the price of Bitcoin in 2021.

Specifically, according to Tom Fitzpatrick’s estimates, by December 2021, the price of Bitcoin, would be over $318,000.

Questioning the report

There are those in the background who discuss the Citibank report. Specifically, because of positions of the same bank with respect to Bitcoin in the past.

In this regard, the @CryptoWhale account wrote: „That the big banks are getting optimistic about Bitcoin, should be a concern to you. Therefore, they have ulterior motives“.

However, most of the comments on Twitter focus on Tom Fitzpatrick’s price prediction. Let’s hope he’s right.

To conclude, I leave you with this quote from Niels Bohr: „Making predictions is very difficult. Especially when it comes to the future.

Respeitado histórico financeiro exige a integração do Bitcoin no sistema financeiro dos EUA

Em um longo artigo sobre a ascensão do Bitcoin e seu papel no futuro financeiro, um respeitado ex-professor de Harvard sugeriu que a administração Biden se beneficiaria da integração da moeda digital no sistema financeiro dos EUA.

O historiador financeiro e membro sênior da família Milbank na Hoover Institution da Universidade de Stanford, Niall Ferguson, escreveu um longo artigo sobre Bitcoin Era que está sendo notado pela comunidade criptográfica.

Nele, o ex-professor da Universidade de Harvard e Oxford comentou sobre como os tradicionais opositores e debunkers suavizaram suas posições coletivas este ano, já que o ativo supera a maioria dos outros investimentos tradicionais.

Grandes endossos do Bitcoin

A peça foi re-visitada várias vezes, mais recentemente pelo co-fundador da 10T Holdings, Dan Tapiero, que observou que isto poderia atrair enorme atenção. Destacam-se os comentários sobre a integração da Bitcoin no sistema financeiro dos EUA;

„Ao invés de procurar criar um dólar digital no estilo chinês, a administração nascente de Joe Biden deveria reconhecer os benefícios da integração da Bitcoin no sistema financeiro dos EUA“.

Chocante e Incrível.

„Biden deve integrar #Bitcoin no sistema financeiro dos EUA“.

O mais respeitado historiador financeiro vivo @nfergus bitcoin comenta para atrair enorme atenção.

A Ferguson fez referências adicionais ao yuan digital da China, acrescentando que seu potencial de adoção para pagamentos de remessas ou acordos comerciais transfronteiriços é „substancial“.

O colunista da Bloomberg havia escrito anteriormente sobre as virtudes do Bitcoin afirmando que há muito menos moedas em circulação do que há milionários no planeta.

„Se os milionários decidissem coletivamente manter apenas 1% de sua riqueza como Bitcoin, o preço estaria acima de US$ 75.000 – mais alto, se for feito um ajuste para todas as bitcoins que foram perdidas ou acumuladas“.

Grandes Nomes Prestando Atenção

Ele fez referência a vários grandes nomes do mundo financeiro, incluindo Paul Tudor Jones, Stan Druckenmiller, Bill Miller e até mesmo Ray Dalio, que agora parecem estar em alta. Mesmo os detratores ardentes do Bitcoin, como Peter Schiff e Nouriel Roubini, também mencionados no artigo, começaram a mudar de tom.

Ele acrescentou que a adoção tem muito mais a fazer, citando o investidor tecnológico argentino Wences Casares, que declarou após dez anos de trabalho sem interrupção, com cerca de 100 milhões de titulares, somando mais de um milhão de novos titulares por mês e movimentando mais de US$ 1 bilhão por dia em todo o mundo;

„tem 50% de chance de atingir um preço de $1 milhão por bitcoin dentro de cinco a sete anos“.

As vantagens da soberania e da escassez são óbvias em um momento em que a oferta de dinheiro fiduciário está explodindo, acrescentou Ferguson, concluindo que havia uma clara demanda por mais privacidade quando se trata de um sistema de pagamento que irá inevitavelmente substituir o dinheiro em espécie.

Un tribunale statunitense di Seattle ha condannato un ex ingegnere Microsoft a 9 anni di prigione dopo averlo ritenuto colpevole di 18 crimini federali relativi al suo elaborato piano per frodare il gigante della tecnologia $ 10 milioni. Nell’emettere la sentenza, il tribunale incolpa Volodymyr Kvashuk, un ingegnere del software e cittadino ucraino, per aver tentato di mascherare le prove digitali attraverso l’uso di mixer di bitcoin e l’uso illegale di account e password di colleghi dipendenti per aiutare questo schema.

Case sofisticato

Secondo i documenti del tribunale, Kvashuk, un cittadino ucraino, era stato condannato nel febbraio 2020 per diversi capi d’accusa di frode telematica, riciclaggio di denaro sporco, furto d’identità e presentazione di false dichiarazioni dei redditi.

Nella sua reazione alla condanna, il procuratore statunitense Brian T Moran rende omaggio ai „partner delle forze dell’ordine e all’ufficio del procuratore degli Stati Uniti“ per aver prevalso nel caso che „richiedeva abilità tecnologiche sofisticate per indagare e perseguire“. Commentando la gravità della punizione, il procuratore degli Stati Uniti afferma:

„Rubare al tuo datore di lavoro è già abbastanza grave, ma rubare e far sembrare che i tuoi colleghi siano da incolpare amplia il danno oltre i dollari e i centesimi.“

Secondo i documenti depositati presso il tribunale, Kvashuk, che è stato coinvolto nel test della piattaforma di vendita al dettaglio online di Microsoft, è accusato di „utilizzare tale accesso di test per rubare il ‚valore memorizzato in valuta‘ (CSV) come i buoni regalo digitali“.

Stile di vita sontuoso

Utilizzando i proventi delle vendite di buoni regalo, Kvashuk „ha acquistato una casa sul lago da 1,6 milioni di dollari e un veicolo Tesla da 160.000 dollari“. Con l’escalation dei furti, Kvashuk ha iniziato a „utilizzare account di posta elettronica di prova associati ad altri dipendenti“ per coprire le sue tracce. Il documento aggiunge:

Ha utilizzato un servizio di „miscelazione“ di bitcoin nel tentativo di nascondere la fonte dei fondi che alla fine passavano sul suo conto bancario. In tutto, nei sette mesi di attività illegale di Kvashuk, circa 2,8 milioni di dollari in bitcoin sono stati trasferiti sui suoi conti bancari e di investimento. Kvashuk ha quindi presentato falsi moduli di dichiarazione dei redditi, sostenendo che il bitcoin era stato un regalo di un parente.

Po niedawnym przyjęciu kryptowaluty PayPal niedawno podał szczegóły swoich planów dotyczących kryptowalut i portfeli cyfrowych na 2021 r., Jednocześnie stwierdzając, że waluty cyfrowe banku centralnego (CBDC) mogą zająć trochę czasu, ale są tutaj, aby zostać.

PayPal widzi wzrost popytu na kryptowaluty

Według Fortuna We wtorek (3 listopada 2020 r.) globalny gigant płatności PayPal planuje rozszerzyć swoje usługi kryptowalutowe na całym świecie. Więcej szczegółów na temat planów firma ujawniła w komunikacie informacyjnym dotyczącym wyników za III kwartał 2020 r.

Raport PayPal za trzeci kwartał ujawnia wielkość płatności w wysokości 247 miliardów dolarów, co oznacza 38-procentowy wzrost. Chociaż firma odnotowuje imponujący rekord Q3 2020, platforma płatności zapewniła dalszy wgląd w najnowszą usługę kryptograficzną.

Dan Schulman, dyrektor generalny i prezes PayPal, podczas rozmowy z inwestorami w trzecim kwartale, ujawniła plany firmy dotyczące podniesienia dziennego limitu zakupów kryptowalut z 10 000 do 15 000 USD z powodu wzrostu popytu. Według Schulmana tylko 10 procent amerykańskich klientów PayPal ma obecnie dostęp do oferty kryptowalut platformy.

Tymczasem istnieje „lista oczekujących”, na którą Schulman zauważył, że jest prawie trzykrotnie większa od oczekiwań firmy. Tak jakzgłoszoneprzez BTCManager w październiku gigant płatności ujawnił, że jego użytkownicy będą mogli przeprowadzać transakcje za pomocą kryptowalut od początku 2021 roku.

Ponadto użytkownicy PayPal będą mogli płacić za towary i usługi kryptowalutami u 28 milionów sprzedawców na całym świecie. Jednak usługi kryptograficznenie dają użytkownikom kontrolę nad ich kluczami prywatnymi, a także ograniczają, a także kupują i sprzedają kryptowaluty na platformie PayPal.

Wkrótce po przyjęciu kryptowalut przez PayPal firma płatnicza podobno planowała to zrobić zakup firma kryptowalutowa BitGo.

Schulman stwierdził również, że wszyscy użytkownicy w USA wkrótce będą mieli dostęp do jego usług kryptograficznych w ciągu kilku tygodni, a planuje rozszerzyć usługi na platformę Venmo i innych klientów na całym świecie przed końcem pierwszej połowy 2021 roku.

Obecność CBDC Pewna

Oprócz globalnego rozszerzenia swoich usług kryptograficznych, prezes PayPal podczas rozmowy stwierdził również, że rozmawiał z bankami centralnymi, interesariuszami sektora kryptowalut i organami regulacyjnymi.

Komentując sprawę CBDC, Schulman stwierdził:

„CBDC, z mojej perspektywy i wszystkich moich rozmów, są kwestią tego, kiedy i jak się je wykonuje, a nie czy. Myślę, że nasza platforma, z jej cyfrowymi portfelami i skalą, którą mamy teraz, może pomóc w kształtowaniu użyteczności tych walut ”.

Szef PayPal dodał:

„I myślę, że nasza platforma i cała nowa infrastruktura cyfrowa, którą teraz wdrażamy, mogą pomóc w sprawieniu, że zarządzanie i przepływ pieniędzy będzie bardziej wydajne, tańsze i szybsze”.

CBDC nadal obserwują rosnące zainteresowanie na całym świecie, w tym w Chinach prowadzenie wyścigu a kraje takie jak Korea Południowa i Japonia przyspieszają rozwój waluty cyfrowej.

EN BREF

• DASH s’est détaché d’un coin descendant.
• Il y a un soutien à 66 dollars et une résistance à 79 et 84 dollars, respectivement.
• DASH/BTC suit toujours une ligne de résistance descendante.

Le 11 octobre, le prix de DASH a rompu une courbe descendante. Après l’avoir validé comme support, le prix a repris son mouvement à la hausse le 19 octobre.

À moins que la zone de soutien de 66 $ n’échoue, le prix devrait continuer à se redresser.

Sortie d’un coin à long terme

DASH est en baisse depuis le 16 août, lorsque le prix a atteint un sommet de 104,85 dollars. Depuis lors, le prix suit une ligne de résistance descendante et se négocie éventuellement à l’intérieur d’un coin descendant, ce qui est considéré comme un schéma de retournement haussier.

Le 11 octobre, le prix a quitté le coin, est revenu pour le valider comme support et a créé un autre chandelier haussier le 11 octobre, atteignant brièvement un sommet de 78,47 $.

La zone de soutien la plus proche se trouve à 66 $, tandis que les niveaux de résistance les plus proches se trouvent à 79 $ et 84 $, soit les niveaux de 0,382 et 0,5 Fib de l’ensemble de la baisse, respectivement.

Les indicateurs techniques sur l’échelle de temps quotidienne sont haussiers :

• Le MACD est en hausse et est devenu positif.
• Le RSI stochastique a fait un croisement haussier et est en hausse.
• Le RSI augmente après avoir complété une divergence haussière très importante.

Auparavant, lorsque le MACD est passé en territoire positif, le prix a finalement augmenté de 45%, atteignant le plus haut du 16 août.

Par conséquent, le prix devrait continuer à augmenter, à moins qu’il ne parvienne d’une manière ou d’une autre à perdre la zone de soutien de 66 dollars.

Nombre de vagues

Le décompte le plus probable suggère que le DASH a effectué une correction W-X-Y (indiquée en noir ci-dessous) avec son point bas atteint le 3 septembre.

Depuis lors, le prix a peut-être entamé une nouvelle impulsion haussière (en bleu) et se trouve actuellement en vague 3. Ce mouvement s’inscrirait également dans le cadre de la rupture du coin et des indicateurs techniques haussiers.

Une chute en dessous du plus bas de w2 à 64,30 $ invaliderait ce compte.

DASH/BTC

Cryptocurrency trader @Daancrypto a tweeté un graphique DASH/BTC qui montre un coin descendant. Il pense que le prix va continuer à baisser jusqu’à ce qu’il atteigne ฿0.0052.

Contrairement à la paire DASH/USD, DASH/BTC se négocie toujours en dessous d’une ligne de résistance descendante. De plus, elle fait face à une forte résistance à ฿0.00625, ayant créé une longue mèche supérieure.

Par conséquent, une baisse des prix vers ฿0.00525, comme indiqué dans le tweet, reste le scénario le plus probable.

L’histoire de la crypto-monnaie au Venezuela se poursuit alors que le président du pays, Nicolas Maduro, a présenté de nouveaux cas d’utilisation

Un rapport récent a informé que la nation sud-américaine étudie la possibilité d’utiliser des actifs numériques dans les métiers aux côtés du Petro national.

Le président Maduro a présenté une nouvelle loi anti-sanctions à l’Assemblée nationale constituante. Dans un discours récent, il a affirmé:

«La loi anti-sanctions est la première réponse pour donner une nouvelle force à l’utilisation de la Bitcoin Circuit et d’autres crypto-monnaies, nationales et mondiales, dans le commerce intérieur et extérieur, afin que toutes les crypto-monnaies du monde, étatiques et privées, puissent être utilisées. C’est un projet important en cours de développement. »

La nouvelle survient après que Maduro a suggéré l’année dernière que son pays pourrait adopter les paiements en crypto-monnaie.

BitMEX gets into serious trouble with the CFTC and the U.S. Attorney’s Office and this makes Bitcoin’s price wobble.

Today BitMEX, one of the main crypto exchanges, has been accused of not implementing the necessary measures to prevent money laundering. Since the news was released, the price of Bitcoin has experienced a significant drop.
Accusations lead to a drop in the price of Bitcoin

Today the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a civil enforcement action against BitMEX and the crypto markets are not very happy about it.

Specifically, the charges under which BitMEX is being charged relate to the operation of a trading platform that has not been registered in the country. In addition to violations of established regulations.

Thus, among the defendants are Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo and Samuel Reed, who have ownership of the exchange through a „maze of corporate entities“.

Since the BitMEX news was released, BinBot the leading crypto, has taken a step backwards. Going from a $10,880 value to $10,550 in a matter of minutes.

Currently the price of crypto is at $10,630 according to CryptoTrend’s tool, Crypto Online.

Jason Deane, a Bitcoin analyst at Quantum Economics, explained to Decrypt that this kind of move shouldn’t come as a surprise since it’s news like BitMEX that scares off new and inexperienced Bitcoin investors.

For its part, BitMEX completely denied the accusations. In a blog post, the crypto exchange attacked the charges.

„Since our early days as a start-up company, we have always sought to comply with applicable U.S. laws…“ the statement said.

What will be the impact of the BitMEX news on Bitcoin’s price in the next few hours?
Research: Crypto exchanges have a weak KYC!

On the very same topic of regulatory compliance, a study by CipherTrace found that 56% of crypto exchanges lack sound customer knowledge (KYC) practices.

This means that a large portion of crypto exchanges are not doing everything possible to force their customers to prove their identities. In fact, it also found that 81% of decentralized exchanges (DEX) have little or no user verification.
Registered trademark of „Euro Digital“.

According to a Bloomberg report, on September 22 the European Central Bank filed a trademark application for the term „digital euro“.

Therefore, the news is a clear demonstration that the previously revealed intentions do not seem to remain only in the idea. So we could soon have a digital euro which, as we pointed out above, will not be a substitute for fiat but a complement.

Renewable energy for crypto-mining

The University of Cambridge conducted a study that found that 76% of cryptominters use electricity from renewable energy sources.

It also found that more than 39% of the total energy consumed by crypto, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, comes from renewable energy sources.

Bitcoin Mining: 5 highlights of the week

Miner handling Ethereum blocks

Frank Topbottom, an anonymous researcher, highlighted several compelling cases of „miners‘ extractable value“ or, also known as MEV, yesterday.

This is how this term refers to the amount of value that crypto miners can extract from the system by initial execution. Previously, experts had already pointed out the MEV as a potential exploitation pattern for DeFi.

Thus, the researcher pointed out several cases of suspicious transactions where a small set of crypto addresses appeared first in the block despite having a lower rate.

Ethereum needs to find a solution to its problems, now!
