Facebook & Libra’s David Marcus spør om Ethereum DeFi

Ethereums desentraliserte økonomi (DeFi) har fått mye oppmerksomhet de siste månedene. Denne sektoren av kryptorommet har sett en rask økning i kapital involvert, da avkastningene og insentivene til å bruke disse DeFi-applikasjonene har økt med et dramatisk klipp. Data viser at Bitcoin Bank antall DeFi-brukere bokstavelig talt har gått fra noen få tusen i begynnelsen av året til et sted nær noen få hundre tusen nå.

Prominente investorer og innovatører innen og utenfor kryptorommet tar forståelig nok merke. Så mye at David Marcus, medstifter av Libra og en tidligere PayPal-president, nylig begynte å spørre om det på Twitter.

David Marcus Fra Facebook Diskuterer DeFi

David Marcus er en kjent figur i krypto- og finansteknologisamfunnet. Han er tidligere PayPal-president og drev Messenger-teamet på Facebook. Nå hjelper han med å kjøre Libra, det digitale valutaprosjektet som først ble lansert av Facebook, men som siden har utvidet seg til et mer desentralisert / distribuert mandat.

Marcus spurte nylig om DeFi, etter å ha tilsynelatende begynt å lese seg opp om emnet. Han spurte sine følgere:

„Hva er de mest interessante #DeFi-prosjektene utover Uniswap, Maker og Compound jeg burde vite om?“

Dusinvis av enkeltpersoner svarte med prosjektene som de burde Marcus kunne se på.

Det er uklart hvorfor Marcus spør om DeFi, men han er en frittalende fan av Bitcoin, Ethereum og andre desentraliserte nettverk og nyfinansiell teknologi.

Langt fra den eneste investoren eller innovatøren som noterer seg

Han er langt fra den eneste fremtredende investoren eller innovatøren i Silicon Valley som tar merke.

Den legendariske ventureinvestoren Naval Ravikant uttalte nylig i en podcast med Tim Ferris:

“De bygger en desentralisert Wall Street, de kaller det DeFi, D-E-F-I, for desentralisert finansiering. Men jeg tror faktisk det er mer som DEFY som, bare trosser regjeringen, DEFY. Og så tror jeg, vi ser et helt nytt casino som er bedre enn Wall Street.

Risikovirksomheter i Silicon Valley har også begynt å tildele kapital til dette området. Denne interessen vil sannsynligvis drive neste vekstrunde i denne fremdeles begynnende sektoren i det allerede begynnende kryptorommet.

The Ocean Builders Company bought a cruise ship in order to found a crypto-colony off the coast of Panama.

The ship will seek to remain decentralized, but could fall victim to the pitfalls of managing a complex housing operation.

Chad Elwartowski, director of operations, says the ship will eventually drift off the coast and may gain autonomy.

The Trust Project is an international consortium of news organizations based on transparency standards.

The Ocean Builders Company bought a disused cruise liner in order to found a crypto colony at sea.

Chad Elwartowski, the company’s COO, recently did an AMA on Reddit , revealing details about this new community.

A crypto colony on the water

When Thai authorities seized Chad Elwatowski’s overwater house, he found himself on the run. But that didn’t deter the crypto-entrepreneur from chasing his dream of “sailing the sea” or living in a houseboat on the ocean.

A boating-themed YouTube channel interviewed Elwartowski in his houseboat before he fled from it, and it was towed away by authorities:

His company Ocean Builders, which specializes in floating habitats called “seapods”, has purchased a disused cruise liner from P&O Cruises of Australia. On November 4, 2020, the company will take control of the vessel, rename it “MS Satoshi” and sail from the Mediterranean to the coast of Panama.

The ensuing sea voyage and navigation will require qualified personnel. That’s why Mr. Elwartowski joined a forum on Reddit to reveal details about the ship and recruit pioneers in sea navigation.

Cruise ideas

In the AMA, Mr. Elwartowski outlined the solutions to some of the day-to-day logistical challenges that the Floating Citadel will face. After all, utilities and supplies can’t just be delivered in the ocean… right?

At first, the ship’s power will come from generators, but he hopes to replace them soon with solar panels. Supplies and food will come from a merchandise store for seagoing ships. Chandleries stores already exist to supply cruise ships anchored off the coast of Panama.

When it comes to connectivity, the bitcoin buff claims that the MS Satoshi will benefit from high-speed internet rather than a satellite connection, perhaps due to its proximity to the coast.

Taxes and Regulations for Ocean Builders

Many WADA members interested in joining the adventure were curious about the terms of payment and taxes. Although the ship is anchored offshore, Elwartowski prefers not to take any risks (following his mishap with the Thai authorities).

Regardless of the legal status and sovereignty of this new Bitcoin colony near Panama, Elwartowski claims he does not take taxes for money earned outside the country. Remote workers would therefore not, in theory, be punished by additional levies. This is probably an important point for any crypto-worker or trader with a libertarian mind.

If the ship is therefore legally in Panama, some users have asked: what interest? Mr. Elwartowski explained that the ship’s first voyage would be to prove the viability of sustainable maritime navigation. With some experience, the company will consider launching into international waters.

Decentralized kitchens: restaurants

Some Reddit users wanted to know what services would be included and how monetary transactions for the services might be in favor of cryptocurrency.

Mr Elwartowski maintains that things will remain as decentralized as possible. However, due to fire safety, rooms cannot be equipped with kitchens or microwaves. Instead, residents will have access to the ship’s restaurants, like on a cruise ship.

These restaurants will be offered at a reduced price to residents (as opposed to vacationers). Another point of safety is COVID-19 precautions.

The ship’s management company, Columbia CS, has a COVID-19 response procedure similar to that of regular cruise ships. Nonetheless, one user noted that a full cruise ship might as well be called “SS COVID”.

The crypto industry has been experiencing another unexpected development for the last few hours that shocked the entire market and drove the price of Bitcoin down.

Pressure on Bitcoin’s sales side recently began to mount after it was revealed that Bitcoin Supreme was unable to process withdrawals as its founder was arrested by Chinese authorities.

He is the sole holder of the keys required to process withdrawal requests – they must be entered regularly so that withdrawals can continue to be processed as planned.

His arrest has raised questions about why the Exchange structured their multi-sig withdrawal system so that there is a single point of failure – and plays into the hands of those who believe decentralized exchanges are superior to centralized ones.

Interestingly, Glassnode’s data also shows that significant amounts of BTC were moved off the platform in the 48 hours prior to the withdrawal of the withdrawals.

OKEx debacle is also causing trouble for Bitcoin

For reasons that are still unknown, a Chinese police investigation is dealing with the popular crypto exchange – with the founder in particular falling into the crosshairs.

As before, no one knows when the founder was arrested, but it appears that an abundance of bitcoins was hastily withdrawn from the exchange in the 48 hours prior to the recent suspension.

Analysis platform Glassnode wrote about it in a tweet and commented that a total of $ 113 million was withdrawn in two large batches – just before the withdrawals were suspended.

“Prior to the suspension of cryptocurrency withdrawals at OKEx, we observed large BTC outflows from the exchange. According to our data, a total of 10,000 BTC (~ $ 113 million) have been withdrawn in two large batches in the past 48 hours. “

The arrest of the OKEx founder reveals serious centralization errors

Commenting on this recent mess, Dovey Wan, founding partner of Primitive Crypto, says: It seems strange to her that a large crypto exchange containing Bitcoin and other digital assets valued at billions should have such a single point of failure.

“Something is strange. If multi-sig, how is it that the police have the majority of the signatories in custody at once? Usually the signers are spread over different geo-locations to avoid such a case, I suppose? It is difficult to imagine how such a single point of failure can come about. „

It looks like there is more to this story that has yet to be revealed – but meanwhile, over 200,000 bitcoins – as well as tons of other digital assets – all remain in the air.

Seks personer er tiltalt av USAs justisdepartement (DoJ) for angivelig å ha deltatt i en hvitvaskingsring ved hjelp av kryptovaluta.

De påståtte dårlige skuespillerne er alle kinesiske statsborgere som inkluderer Jiayu Chen, 46, Jianxing Chen, 40, Tao Liu, 45, Xizhi Li, 45, Jingyuan Li, 47, og Eric Yong Woo, 43

I følge rettsdokumenter som ikke ble forseglet 15. oktober i den amerikanske østlige tingretten i Virginia, var de seks individene en del av en kriminell gruppe som trakk millioner av dollar som tilhørte meksikanske narkotikakarteller (inkludert det beryktede Sinaloa-kartellet) ved hjelp av kryptovaluta og kasinoer.

Ifølge justisdepartementet er de seks blitt rammet av anklager knyttet til sammensvergelse for å hvitvaskere ulovlige penger og sammensvergelse om å distribuere kokain. En av personene, Tao Liu, er også siktet for forsøk på å bestikke en hemmelig politimann for å skape falske pass for flere personer. Anklagene kommer etter en fire års etterforskning av narkotikahandel og asiatiske hvitvaskingsordninger i USA og over hele verden, sa justisdepartementet i en pressemelding .

I et forsøk på å holde seg i kommunikasjon og planlegge ulovlige aktiviteter, brukte sammensvorne krypterte sosiale medieplattformer som WhatsApp og WeChat. Det antas at de seks kriminelle har samlet rundt 30 millioner dollar fra hvitvaskingsordningen, heter det i tiltalen.

Fem av de mistenkte er allerede pågrepet, mens Jianxing Chen fortsatt er på frifot

Spesialagent med ansvar for US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Operations Division, Wendy Woolcock sa:

“Disse personene gikk langt for å skjule sin påståtte kriminelle virksomhet og ytterligere ordninger som gjorde det mulig for narkotikakarteller å skyve giftet mot samfunnene våre og vaske deres ulovlige inntekt. Til tross for denne innsatsen kunne de ikke unndra seg deteksjon av amerikansk politi. DEA vil sammen med våre partnere fortsette å arrestere og stille for retten transnasjonale kriminelle som disse, som legger til rette for og tjener på den onde globale narkotikahandel. „

De seks mistenkte utsettes for en minstestraf på 10 år i fengsel med mulighet for livsvarig fengsel.

Il valore di 11,4 milioni di dollari di Bitcoin del 2010 si è appena trasferito. Perché?

• 1.000 Bitcoin si è appena trasferito per la prima volta dal 2010.
• Il Bitcoin – che vale oltre 11 milioni di dollari – sarebbe stato estratto quando Satoshi Nakamoto era ancora attivo nella comunità dei crittografi.
• Non è chiaro chi sia il proprietario del Bitcoin o perché sia stato spostato.

Qualcuno ha spostato un Bitcoin del valore di oltre 11 milioni di dollari che è rimasto fermo nei portafogli da quando è stato estratto nel 2010. I 1.000 Bitcoin Evolution del valore di 11.425.000 dollari sono stati spostati a un indirizzo. Il trasferimento è stato segnalato da Kirill K, un trader professionista di crittovalute, su LinkedIn.

Il Bitcoin è stato estratto nel settembre 2010, quando il Bitcoin aveva meno di due anni e valeva meno di 10 centesimi per moneta. A quei tempi, la criptovaluta era praticamente inedita e molto economica da estrarre – tutto il Bitcoin spostato oggi valeva meno di 100 dollari nel 2010.

Il misterioso detentore delle monete „dell’era Satoshi“ realizzerebbe un profitto folle come una lotteria se vendesse le monete oggi.

Il Bitcoin dell'“era Satoshi“ si riferisce alle monete coniate

Il Bitcoin dell'“era Satoshi“ si riferisce alle monete coniate quando il creatore pseudonimo di Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, era ancora in comunicazione con il mondo dei crittografi. Nessuno ha più avuto notizie di Nakamoto dal 2010 e la sua identità è ancora un completo mistero. Alcuni credono – forse falsamente – che chiunque abbia spostato le monete debba aver fatto parte della cerchia ristretta di Nakamoto.

Ma perché qualcuno dovrebbe spostare questo Bitcoin adesso? Il responsabile della strategia di quant presso la società di crittografia Ikigai Asset Management, Hans Hauge, ha scritto su LinkedIn che „i vecchi minatori devono stare attenti a come si muovono per non spaventare il mercato“.

Ma ha aggiunto che 11 milioni di dollari non „muovono molto l’ago in entrambe le direzioni“ quando miliardi di Bitcoin si muovono ogni giorno intorno ai portafogli.

Litecoin kurzfristige Preisanalyse:  Oktober

Während der Einbruch am 1. und 2. Oktober für die meisten Krypto-Vermögenswerte des Marktes brutal erschien, hat Litecoin weiterhin eine starke Seitwärtsbewegung zwischen der Spanne von 47,13 und 45 US-Dollar beibehalten. Tatsächlich ist der Wert der Krypto-Währung nach einigen Stunden immer wieder unter 47,13 $ gefallen, obwohl der LTC seine Widerstandsmarke einige Male durchbrochen hat. Da die Charts von Litecoin bei Redaktionsschluss auf einen weiteren Ausbruch hindeuteten, schien der Trend für Litecoin glühend heiß zu sein.

Die Frage ist – Wird dies eine weitere Kursschwankung für LTC sein?

Litecoin hat vor kurzem seine Position in den Top Ten zurückerobert, nachdem es kurzzeitig auf Platz 11 in den Charts zurückgefallen war. Nun kann sich seine Position auch in Zukunft weiter verbessern. Zum Zeitpunkt der Drucklegung hatte sich der Krypto-Asset laut The News Spy über den 50-Exponentiellen Gleitenden Durchschnitt bewegt, was ein sehr zinsbullisches Zeichen ist. Ein weiterer Grund zur Annahme, dass ein Ausbruch unmittelbar bevorsteht, liegt in seiner symmetrischen Dreiecksformation.

Während das Muster noch keine starken unteren Höchststände verzeichnet hatte, könnte das Ausbrechen der Kerze zum Pressetermin oberhalb desselben darauf hindeuten, dass nach einem kurzfristigen Pullback bei $46,20 ein zinsbullischer Ausbruch bevorstehen könnte. Der stochastische RSI unterstrich den vorübergehend steigenden Kaufdruck, doch die Handelsvolumina wiesen auch auf einen starken Grund hin.

Tatsächlich wurde der Preis in den vergangenen Stunden von geringen Volumina gestützt, was bedeutet, dass der Preis in der Pressezeitspanne nicht dauerhaft war. Während das symmetrische Dreieck in Bezug auf Hausse und Baisse in beide Richtungen schwankt, lehnt sich die Erzählung etwas mehr an die Bären an.

Litecoin 30-Minuten-Chart

Wie erwartet, befand sich der Stochastic RSI auf der 30-Minuten-Chart bereits an einer überkauften Position, wo ein Pullback in Sicht war. Angesichts geringfügiger Anstiege in den nächsten Stunden kann jedoch eine Short-Position bei $47 eingegangen werden. Darüber hinaus ist ein enger Stop-Loss durch The News Spy bei $47,50 vorzuziehen, während ein Stop-Loss bei $48 ebenfalls kosteneffektiv sein kann. Gewinne können bei 45 $ genommen werden, da ein Rückgang den Preis sicherlich in die Nähe der Unterstützung bei 44,46 $ bringen würde.

Schließlich deutete der Awesome Oscillator zum Zeitpunkt der Drucklegung auf ein zinsbullisches Momentum hin, aber eine Umkehrung könnte für den auf Platz 10 rangierenden Krypto-Asset des Marktes zu nah sein.

Le Bitcoin Awareness Game est la dernière initiative visant à favoriser une utilisation accrue de l’art de rue lié à la crypto-monnaie dans le monde entier, avec des artistes récompensés par des satoshis (sats, plus petites unités de bitcoin) pour partager leurs contributions à la diffusion du message crypté.

Le collectif Munichois Ideas Are Like Flames est derrière le jeu et dispose d’un compte dédié qui est utilisé pour partager les œuvres d’art qui ont commencé à fleurir dans le monde entier dans le but de promouvoir la crypto-monnaie. Les artistes peignent des graffitis, créent des autocollants, des affiches, des peintures murales et partagent également d’autres formes d’œuvres d’art.

Le jeu de sensibilisation Bitcoin Code encourage les aficionados de la crypto à diffuser les messages du collectif sur des autocollants disponibles en 19 designs. Ils peuvent être achetés ou téléchargés sur le site Web du groupe qui comprend également le manifeste de l’initiative.

Selon le collectif

«La plupart des gens n’ont pas entendu parler de Bitcoin et la plupart de ceux qui ont pensé qu’il était mort, pour les criminels, ne fonctionneront jamais ou [ENTRER UNE FAUTE DE VOTRE CHOIX]. Lorsque ces idées fausses surgissent, il n’y a pas de porte-parole Bitcoin pour les réfuter. Il n’y a que des Bitcoiners bien informés pour remettre les pendules à l’heure. »

Selon le manifeste, le groupe a imprimé les dessins et a commencé à les proposer dans leur boutique au début du mois de juin 2020. «En peu de temps», dit-il, «des Bitcoiners du monde entier ont acheté des packs d’autocollants et ont commencé à envoyer des photos. d’autocollants qu’ils ont appliqués dans les lieux publics. Par coïncidence, au même moment, le compte Twitter Bitcoin Street Art a commencé à tweeter des photos de graffitis, pochoirs et autocollants sur le thème Bitcoin et nous avons soumis quelques photos de nos créations qui nous avaient été envoyées.

Au début de l’initiative, le groupe s’est engagé à payer 615 sats (0,066 USD) sur ses propres actifs pour chaque photo d’un autocollant Bitcoin jusqu’à un total de 615000 sats (66 USD). Cependant, la popularité de l’initiative a poussé le jeu de sensibilisation Bitcoin à augmenter la prime disponible.

Selon le site Web, plus de 1,4 million de satoshis ont été attribués à des contributeurs de divers pays, dont les États-Unis, l’Allemagne, la Nouvelle-Zélande et la Roumanie, entre autres

Les participants à l’initiative peuvent obtenir leurs récompenses en satoshis via microlancer.io ou la chaîne Telegram de BTCStreetArt .

Alors que la plupart des messages présentés sont conçus pour propager le bitcoin en anglais, de nombreux artistes de rue optent pour la transmission de leurs messages cryptographiques dans des langues telles que l‘ allemand , l‘ espagnol et le portugais , entre autres, dirigeant souvent la colère de leurs critiques contre l’établissement financier mondial. L’initiative s’étend désormais bien au-delà de l’hémisphère occidental, avec des illustrations cryptographiques qui fleurissent à Lahore au Pakistan et à Saint-Pétersbourg en Russie .
