Devastation, Mitigation, Migration, Stabilization and 20 Crypto Jokes
Another adventurous crypto week. Did you have fun? BTC once again saw heavy selling on Monday, after the news that the Fed was taking emergency measures to mitigate the financial devastation, Coin Metrics found that it’s the short-term traders again who have been driving the most recent sell-off, and interest in Bitcoin futures dropped amid discussions of financial market closure. But then, Bitcoin rallied on Thursday, while Chainalysis says that BTC oversupply issue is solved and the price gained some stability; also, a relief is coming to miners too as mining difculty is set to drop. Bitfinex onboarded a USD 280 million crypto hedge fund Fulgur Alpha, and BitMEX explained the recent DDoS attacks to the doubting customers and refunds BTC 40. Meanwhile, Steem is moving to Hive network.
We’ve got more: Hdac launched the first dapp on its blockchain network, Toyota and BUIDL completed testing a new personal ID and vehicle ID platform, Westworld developed a blockchain angle for its new season, American users of Opera are now able to use their debit cards or Apple Pay to buy BTC and ETH, and the Chinese province of Yunnan opened a new blockchain center. While Nouriel Roubini proposed a tokenization-sounding solution to the pandemic-caused financial crisis involving commodifying toilet paper, Mike Novogratz said that BTC will need to rebuild confidence post-crash. We also looked into whether South Korea is teaching kids about crypto via the Yeep platform, co-developed by the Ministry of Education, and if the Russian central bank could try to ban BTC mining. Meanwhile, 18 more EthCC attendees tested positive for coronavirus, but Vitalik Buterin confirmed he had no symptoms.
And now, time for some laughs and giggles and chuckles and chortles…you get it.
