El bitcóin, la criptomoneda más conocida del mercado, cayó este sábado por debajo de los 20.000 dólareas, por primera vez desde diciembre de 2020, en un ambiente generalizado de desplomes que afecta al sector. Ether, otra de las criptomonedas con más renombre, se ha llegado a situar por debajo de los 1.000 dólares, cifra no vista desde enero de 2021, informa el canal especializado CNBC, aunque en los últimos minutos ha logrado recuperar esa barrera sicológica. Los analistas consideran como las principales causas que han favorecido la llegada de este "criptoinvierno" (un período prolongado de precios a la baja) la subida de los tipos de interés propiciada por varios bancos centrales para intentar frenar la inflación galopante y el empeoramiento de la crisis de liquidez. Varias empresas del sector han tomado medidas para intentar capear la situación, como las plataformas Gemini y Coinbase, que anunciaron sendos recortes de plantilla del 10 % y del 18 %, respectivamente, y advirtieron de la llegada de un invierno para las criptomonedas. De acuerdo con la web Coinmetrics, el bitcóin ha perdido más de un 7 % en las últimas 24 horas y a las 10.00 hora de Nueva York (14.00 GMT) se pagaba por un bitcóin 19.175 dólares, mientras que Ether ha perdido el 8,6 % de su valor para situarse en 998 dólares. La mayor caída del bitcóin se dio el lunes, cuando perdió un 15 %, tras conocerse que la plataforma de negociación de criptomonedas Celsius Network suspendía todas las transacciones entre clientes y vetaba la retirada de capitales debido a las "condiciones extremas" del mercado. El desplome se sumaba al descenso del viernes anterior, cuando cayó más de un 3 %, tras conocerse que la inflación de EE.UU. subió al 8,6 % en mayo, por encima de lo esperado. El último episodio bajista arrancó en mayo con el desplome de la "stablecoin" (criptomoneda estable) terraUSD, ligada a la criptodivisa luna, y se acentuó con el dato de inflación estadounidense, lo que ha llevado a diversas compañías del sector a tomar medidas para evitar pérdidas. Poco después de que Celsius Network limitara las operaciones, Binance, la plataforma más usada del mundo para comprar y vender criptomonedas, suspendió todas las retiradas de bitcóin por un problema técnico. Esta medida, aunque fue momentánea, contribuyó a consolidar la desconfianza de los usuarios que ya se había expandido en los mercados, explicaba hace unos días el analista de XTB Darío García.Además, algunas plataformas como Coinbase y Gemini han anunciado reducciones de plantilla.|
Nic Carter is a Partner at Castle Island Ventures and a Co-Founder of CoinMetrics. In this conversation, we discuss bitcoin mining, renewable energy, Texas, inflation, and debunking FUD. ======================= If you haven't started building your crypto portfolio on Okcoin, there's no better time. They're one of the fastest growing global exchanges around and they have some promotions happening right now to help even more people be part of the future of finance. If you have an account already, you can split $100 in BTC with a friend when you invite them to sign up for Okcoin if they buy $100 of crypto in the first month. The more friends who sign up and buy, the more BTC you get.

Bitcoin started the year with a bang, rising up above $41k before falling back into the 20ks, and settling in the mid 30ks lately. It was at $5k in March 2020! Yet it feels way different, and dare we say – less volatile – this time. How are we supposed to interact with bitcoin, how do you capitalize on the volatility, and where does it fit into investor portfolios overall? We have two big-time bitcoiners on with us today to go over it all – Meltem Demirors, Chief Strategy Officer at CoinShares, and Nic Carter, Partner at Castle Island Ventures and Cofounder at Coinmetrics. In this episode we're talking about: finally not being the most volatile asset, bitcoin futures contract, crypto buyers jumping to options & vice versa, ethos of decentralization, your digital footprint, capturing volatility, risks in owning bitcoin, bitcoin as a trading game, adding bitcoin to your portfolio, is bitcoin too expensive right now?, the future of crypto regulation, the bitcoin price ceiling, bear case of bitcoin, and whether the opportunities are in the coin or the peripheral services.

The increasing adoption of cryptodollars—digital dollar tokens that can be passed hand-to-hand like cash—is a sign of the revolution that’s going on in money, says Nic Carter, our guest on the latest New Money Review podcast. Carter, a former cryptoasset analyst at fund giant Fidelity, is a venture capitalist and cofounder of blockchain data firm Coinmetrics. Cryptodollars—Carter’s preferred name for stablecoins that are settled on public blockchains—are a highly disruptive innovation, says Carter, calling them “the first killer app of crypto”. By contrast with volatile cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, stablecoins offer to fulfil one of the key attributes of money—by working as a medium of exchange. They promise to help their users transfer value quickly and safely, even from one end of the world to another, without going through the banking system. “This is the first time the crypto industry has manufactured something of immediate relevance to the outside world,” Carter says. “By tying the settlement assurances of the blockchain with a token that represents an IOU for funds held in a bank account, you get something quite powerful. I think we’re just at the beginning of seeing the applications.” The invention of cryptodollars could even have far-reaching geopolitical implications, says Carter, who points out that blockchain-based dollars could help address the stubbornly high cost of money transfers borne by residents of the global South. Listen to the podcast to hear Carter and New Money Review editor Paul Amery discuss: Why demand for stablecoins is rising Why cryptodollars are today's eurodollars How stablecoin usage is evolving The growth of unregulated stablecoins The changing structure of the financial system The impact on geopolitics

For complete show notes and for the full premium experience with video, visit our YouTube channel at CryptoNewsAlerts.net Bloomberg Intelligence commodity strategist Mike McGlone says the Bitcoin price could be en route to $100,000, but BTC investors will have to wait. In a new edition of the Bloomberg Crypto Outlook, McGlone says that Bitcoin is on track to breach key resistance at $14,000 as indicators show that investors are flocking into the number one cryptocurrency. “Our chart depicts the market cap of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) approaching Bitcoin equivalent holdings of 500,000. A year ago, this direct indicator of investor demand held less than half that amount. Inflows in GBTC, the largest exchange traded product, absorbed about 70% of new Bitcoin supply in 3Q, we calculate. Also featured in our graphic is the 30-day average of Bitcoin active addresses from Coinmetrics. This strong price companion points to the crypto closer to $15,000 vs. about $10,500 on Oct. 2. Addresses plunged with prices in 2018 and were a leading indicator of the Bitcoin recovery in 2019.” McGlone also highlights Bitcoin’s unique property in that price does not influence supply, which leaves adoption as the number one metric to measure value. According to McGlone, Bitcoin’s valuation will rise on the back of rising adoption rates, and BTC’s historical price history suggests $100,000 could happen by 2025. “Still in hangover mode from the 2017 rally, we don’t know what specific catalyst might launch Bitcoin to new highs, but demand vs. supply metrics remain price-positive. If the crypto echoes its past gains, with some maturation, about double the time period it took to add a zero to $1,000 could get its price to $100,000 in 2025.”

💥Bitcoin se desploma: - Después de estar por encima de 11.000 dólares por BTC por más de un mes, ayer el precio de BTC cayó cerca de un 10% y en algunos exchanges llegó a estar por debajo de 10.000 dólares - Importante tener en cuenta que Bitcoin no está sólo, pues la gran mayoría de criptomonedas también cayeron, el SP500 cayó más de un 3% y el oro cerca de un 0.6% - De acuerdo con Chainalysis, que parece estar en todos lados, la caída se pudo deber a que los exchanges recibieron cerca de 100.000 BTC el miércoles - Algunos analistas y expertos creen que BTC puede seguir cayendo - No se asusten, algunos ven esto como una oportunidad de comprar. - Yo no doy recomendaciones de inversión, pero los invito a no preocuparse por la volatilidad del día a día y pensar en el largo plazo. https://news.bit2me.com/precio-de-bit... 🌵 Criptomonedas en Latinoamérica no están creciendo tanto cómo se creía: - De acuerdo con un reporte de Chainalysis, la región presenta la segunda menor tasa de crecimiento en cuando a adopción de criptomonedas, sólo por encima de África y el Medio Oriente. - Teniendo en cuenta los problemas económicos de la región, la inestabilidad de sus monedas y la importancia de las remesas que sus ciudados envían desde el exterior, es razonable pensar que las criptomonedas tienen un gran potencial de crecimiento. - El mayor volumen de negociación de criptomonedas viene de países como Estados Unidos, China y Reino Unido. https://news.bit2me.com/adopcion-de-l... 📊 Capitalización de mercado de las stablecoins viene creciendo cerca de 100 millones de dólares por día por los últimos 2 meses: - Esta información viene de un informe de Coinmetrics. - Una de los posibles explicaciones es la posibilidad de utilizar estas stablecoins (en su gran mayoría dólares digitales en DeFi). - Mientras que las cuentas bancarias tienen una rentabilidad de 0%, en DeFi se pueden encontrar rentabilidades mucho más altas. - Como siempre, debo advertir, se asumen otros riesgos. - Tether sigue dominando con el 80% del mercado. 🏴Director del Banco de Inglaterra hace un llamada a una regulación mundial de las stablecoins: - Reconoce la naturaleza abierta y sin fronteras de las stablecoins y sugiere que sin una regulación global los usuarios pueden tener confusiones sobre el tratamiento de estos activos. - También reconoce su importancia y posible utilidad para reducir fricciones y costos transaccionales. - Finalmente, dice que las stablecoins son mejor instrumento de pago que Bitcoin y no cierra las puertas a que para la emisión de la CBDC de Inglaterra algunos privados tengan cierta participación. 📲¡Descárgate la APP! https://bit2me.com/download Compra y vende Bitcoin , Ethereum , Litecoin , Dash, Bitcoin Cash , Ripple y otras criptomonedas .

Bitcoin and gold have both climbed higher in recent weeks, but any correlation between the two is still too slight to take seriously, according to CoinMetrics. Fundstrat managing partner Tom Lee offered a different explanation on this week's episode of The Scoop — that boomers and Millenials are taking sides. Lee pointed out that it's likely an older generation piling into gold with huge cash positions. For those who missed the market rally, gold likely became a more attractive position as inflation rose. As boomers load up on gold, members of Generation X and Millenials are buying up tech stocks. As tech stocks become more attractive and cash less so with concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the perception towards bitcoin is shifting as well, according to Lee. "Because of coronavirus, I think we're seeing businesses essentially go cashless and therefore digital money is making it easier to understand the value of Bitcoin, which is essentially a settlement network that isn't denominated in dollars," he said. Research from JPMorgan seems to agree with Lee. An August 4 note from the bank's strategists said millenials seem to prefer tech stocks while older investors are selling shares and buying bonds. However, this doesn't mean the institutions are likely to jump in any time soon. As Bitcoin's value rises, Lee said that there might be more parallels to gold. On this week's episode, Lee broke down his other takes on current market conditions, including: Why the negative impact of COVID-19 on markets has waned How the virus has affected Fundstrat's so-called granny shots list, a list of easy-win stocks The relationship between traditional markets and bitcoin price volatility The impact of election cycles on traditional and digital assets and how the winner will effect the market's movements Why he hates being called a perma-bull Listen to this week's episode on Apple, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Our guest for this week's episode is Nic Carter, Partner at Castle Island Ventures and Cofounder of Coinmetrics.io. In this episode, we dive deep into some of Nic's current cryptocurrency obsessions. We start off covering the history of Bitcoin's predecessors, leading to an interesting realization that the crypto industry today may be forgetting the lessons drawn from previous attempts to create a private money. We then shift the conversation to stablecoins and the implications of their continued growth. In doing so, we highlight that stablecoins today are virtually no different than reserve-backed currencies of the past. We end the conversation on an interesting theory that, contrary to popular belief, crypto may actually be good for the dollar. We explore different cases of dollarization and the heterogenous mechanisms by which they've emerged. Tune in for all of that and more! “Bitcoin is sufficiently decentralized so far that it's avoided this kind of key man risk – the ability for the government to raid the offices of someone somewhere and shut the system down.” “You could store a billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin in a single unit public-private key pair. This allows for extremely strong ownership, especially in countries where the banking system doesn't work very well.” Key Points From This Episode: How Nic became Fidelity's crypto analyst after a brainstorm with former ARK analyst Chris Burniske. Bitcoin's most underappreciated property: ‘auditability' The birth of Coinmetrics Anonymity, reliability, and the distinction between digital cash and electronic money. Bitcoin is the culmination of disparate prior technologies. A history of Bitcoin's ideological predecessors: E-Gold and Liberty Reserve. The fundamental role centralization played in Bitcoins predecessors' downfalls. The appeal of fiat-backed stablecoins. Why it is unlikely that Ethereum will unseat Bitcoin, and Libra's loud ploy to overthrow centralized currency. Dollarization: benefits, adoption patterns, and how successful iterations are bottom up. Why crypto is potentially good for the dollar due to the dollar's desirability. How credibility, not just technology, affects the adoption of new payment systems. The benefits of seedless mobile wallet setups.

We start off covering the history of Bitcoin’s predecessors, leading to an interesting realization that the crypto industry today may be forgetting the lessons drawn from previous attempts to create a private money. We then shift the conversation to stablecoins and the implications of their continued growth. In doing so, we highlight that stablecoins today are virtually no different than reserve-backed currencies of the past. We end the conversation on an interesting theory that, contrary to popular belief, crypto may actually be good for the dollar. We explore different cases of dollarization and the heterogenous mechanisms by which they’ve emerged. Tune in for all of that and more!

As Libra continues to spur discussions among regulators around the world, and China’s digital yuan comes ever closer to fruition, the U.S. Federal Reserve seems disinclined to look seriously at a digital dollar. Ex-CFTC Chair Chris Giancarlo - aka “Crypto Dad” - isn’t waiting around. He has teamed with Accenture to launch the nonprofit Digital Dollar Foundation. As crypto continues to evolve, it does so in sometimes divergent directions. Gemini announced a new insurance company designed to make big institutions more comfortable with the space. Zcash, meanwhile, released an updated SDK to make it easier to shield transactions via mobile. Can the privacy-preserving side of crypto co-exist, ultimately, with the sanguine institutional side? Finally, we revisit our discussion of personal tokens and ISAs, as well as look at the latest research from Coinmetrics on whether bitcoin is behaving like a safe haven asset.

Unconfirmed: Insights and Analysis From the Top Minds in Crypto
Nate Maddrey, senior research analyst of Coin Metrics, gives an overview of how the major crypto networks ended 2019. We discuss how Bitcoin outperformed most other crypto assets last year, how it has been somewhat correlated with gold this year, whereas other crypto assets are not, and how the price movement of Bitcoin and Ethereum is starting to uncouple. We also talk about "realized cap," which is when each individual coin last moved on chain, and "market cap to realized cap" (MVRV), which is a way of looking at when the current holders will obtain profits if they sell, and how Bitcoin's investors are in the black, or that perhaps Ethereum is undervalued. Another topic was stablecoins, and how Tether on Ethereum has overtaken Tether on Omni and why, plus which other stablecoins are seeing growth. He also covers which four networks have seen their number of active addresses drop, how all those also saw their prices decrease and how only Bitcoin and Ethereum had a substantial amount of daily fees, and why that's significant.

As founder of Coinmetrics and founding partner of Castle Island Ventures, Nic Carter is one of bitcoin broadest and most heterodox thinkers. In this episode, he discusses: Why bitcoin is undeniably related to the larger political and economic climate Why the emergence of Libra piqued the interest of central banks and sovereigns in bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry more broadly Why bitcoin’s status as a safe haven asset is highly correlated to the specific political and economic context of the holder Why the fact that everyone is expecting a recession means that we might not get a traditional recession Japan as a rebuttal to the idea that the stock market always goes up The type of behind-the-scenes questions previously crypto-green institutions are starting to ask about bitcoin data, valuation and more The power inherent in the fact that anyone with an internet connection can start to exit their local currency system. Why the realized capital of bitcoin is at an all time high, even if market cap is far off. To hear more from these speakers and many others about where bitcoin meets macro, join us at Invest: NYC on November 12, 2019 in New York City. https://www.coindesk.com/events/invest-2019/register
At Invest: Asia in Singapore today, Coindesk's heat of institutional sales in Asia hinted that the company is exploring IEOs, but wouldn't comment further. As he is wont to do, Trump got everyone talking by ratcheting up his pressure on the Fed to go into negative rate territory. Bitcoiners were happy to explain why this matters. And speaking of Bitcoin, some data from Coinmetrics beyond the price that shows just how the network is thriving. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/nathanielwhittemorecrypto

In Episode 97 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Nic Carter, co-founder of both the VC fund Castle Island Ventures, as well as the research and data analytics company Coinmetrics.io. Nic also has a master’s degree in philosophy, and the two spend much of the overtime applying that discipline to bitcoin by examining the works of people like Friedrich Nietzsche and his philosophy around essence, John Rawls and his veil of ignorance, as well as applying a strain of utilitarian thought to questions of money and society. This conversation with Nic Carter is an attempt to understand Bitcoin as more than just the sum of its parts. One of the lessons that Demetri has taken away from his continued research into Bitcoin through the works of people like Nick Szabo, Paul Sztorc, and others, is that trying to measure the cryptocurrency against existing systems or conventions is almost always counterproductive. This is likely because Bitcoin is more than just money or a payments network. Bitcoin is a movement. Within it exists a competent community of intellectuals who are actively engaged in what often feels like a grand project to remake society. This comes across in the seriousness with which Bitcoiners apply themselves. This is true whether we are talking about the engineers working on enhancements to the base layer or whether we’re talking about those contributing intellectually to debates about governance, economics, and ethics. In this sense, Bitcoin is not what most of us think it is, and even what we think it is, is constantly changing. Bitcoin’s resilience and adaptability, as both a store of value, but also as a diverse community of people who are coming to the cryptocurrency from different backgrounds and with differing motivations suggests that there is much more going on here than just naïve speculation. As Nic Carter points out during this conversation, Bitcoin is a “subversive idea.” Bitcoin is an experiment in social organization that doesn’t play by the rules of the state or by the conventions of modern society. The momentum behind this movement is likely to grow, especially if governments validate the concerns of its proponents with further debt monetization or preferential bailouts in the event of another global financial downturn. In short, Bitcoin is not going away, and it is incumbent upon all of us to understand the message that it is here to deliver.

The Q2 crypto data reports are in, so on this special edition we’re breaking down the most interesting trends. We cover: asset performance; network activity in Bitcoin and Ethereum; the “non-correlated” narrative in Bitcoin and BTC’s relative narrative strength; the state of dapps and DeFi; IEO and exchange token performance; the impact of regulatory action; the decline of VC activity; the rise of competitive smart contract platforms; and finally end on a new emerging narrative: halving skepticism! Thanks to CoinMetrics, Circle Research and Delphi Digital for all their great work. Video: https://www.youtube.com/nathanielwhittemorecrypto

Erik and his co-host Tony Sheng (@tonysheng) of Decentraland interview Nic Carter (@nic__carter), partner at Castle Island Ventures and co-founder of Coinmetrics.io.Nic explains why Bitcoin might end up like gold, where everyday people have little day-to-day interaction with it but it has a big influence on the monetary system, and how Bitcoin can be a check on the behavior of central banks.He explains why he started Castle Island Ventures, explains its philosophy and how they plan to invest. He also explains his take on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and whether any of the altcoins will turn out to be worth anything.He explains why he is bearish on DAOs in the short-term but in the long-term is very bullish. Nic also talks about how projects can improve their governance structures and how users can spot potential governance problems within projects. Quotable lines from this episode:“You don’t need the ‘gold standard’ to be the day to day currency, just like in the era of the gold standard people didn’t transact in units of gold.”“I eventually think we’ll get to this world where we have the advantages of the cryptocurrency capital raise mechanisms together with the guarantees of equity — we just need to marry those concepts.”“I’m kind of heretical in that I think there is a really big role for financial institutions to play in the crypto asset story.”“I think that voting makes people feel more comfortable being governed because they think they have buy-in into the governance system.”“The highest ROI on these projects is transparency — to be so transparent that it hurts.”-Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.
