Why Bitcoin Is the Best Internet CurrencyGovernments across the globe are diluting their sovereign currencies more than ever to combat various economic crises. This is causing many to reconsider the consequences of their governments’ monetary actions and their lack of power to influence them. In response, the narrative for an alternative currency is growing stronger by the day. People are seeing the merit of a currency where the decision to alter supply isn’t made without a vote or by a group of elites behind closed doors. And currency investors are gravitating toward bitcoin. It’s seeing widespread interest from corporate treasuries, institutions, Wall Street, and more. ----> MicroStrategy , a publicly traded business intelligence company with a market cap of $1.6 billion, recently disclosed its corporate treasury holds 21,454 bitcoin. It believes bitcoin is a dependable store of value with more long-term appreciation potential than cash due to the depreciation of fiat currencies. ----> Institutions like Fidelity are beginning to onboard customers like Kingdom Trust, which are offering customers bitcoin cold storage through Fidelity Digital Assets. ----> Giants such as the New York Stock Exchange’s parent company , Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), Nasdaq, and TD Ameritrade are all beginning to roll out their own crypto platforms. ----> And popular publicly traded Grayscale products such as its Bitcoin Trust and Ethereum Trust have a combined nearly $4 billion of assets under management and are witnessing record growth. What’s more is we’re seeing these developments translate to bitcoin’s fundamentals. Thanks to the network’s transparency, we know how many total wallets there are holding bitcoin and transaction activity. The number of bitcoin wallets is at an all-time high. And activity on the network has only been higher once before – near the December 2017 peak.

Reason why Ethereum Need to be in Your Radar!!!A high level of activity and demand for computing power on the Ethereum blockchain has led to congestion on the network. As a result, transaction fees on the platform have skyrocketed. So let’s lay out the ongoing development on the network and the work being done to alleviate these fees... Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source, and distributed computing platform. And at its core, it’s a blockchain. What set Ethereum apart from day one was its computing ability to execute smart contracts. This enables users to build, execute, and verify decentralized applications (dApps) via the blockchain. It’s why Ethereum is being dubbed “Web 3.0.” What separates Ethereum today is the development on the network. It’s second to none, thanks to its 1,100-plus developers. They’re bringing major progress to the project through enterprise development, DeFi, and the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. Enterprise development – over 700 global initiatives, including Ernst & Young’s Baseline protocol, which Coca-Cola is running a trial on for its bottling network... JPMorgan ,Chase’s Quorum blockchain, which is home to a few hundred banks that merged with ConsenSys last month... and Ethereum’s Microsoft Development kit, which just surpassed 12,000 downloads. DeFi – over $8 billion of value locked up. This is up from around $500 million one year ago – a 1,500% increase – and highlights the growing usage of Ethereum dApps.In fact, the growth and high demand has made network congestion an issue. But Ethereum already has solutions available in the form of layer 2. One of these is OMG Network, one of our other holdings. OMG Network is expected to relieve some of the issues the network is experiencing due to DeFi’s recent popularity. Ethereum 2.0 – a massive overhaul that will bring enterprise usage and DeFi to even greater levels and provide a long-term solution for network congestions. The first portion of this upgrade is expected around the new year. It’ll continue to roll out more releases over several years. The end result is virtually unlimited scalability, increased security, and higher speeds. Ethereum’s roadmap is substantial. And with the most developers in the space working on it, it’s ready to see mass adoption and a surge in price.

Chainlink Could be One of the Top 3 Crypto!! LINK/USDChainlink is a blockchain protocol that pulls real-world data from outside the blockchain to verify information in a secure and decentralized way. Major companies like Intel, Oracle, and Google have seen value in Chainlink and have partnered with the project. The data provider currently has over 150 data feeds and is strengthening its foothold with its recent acquisition of DECO from Cornell University. DECO will guarantee data feeds remain private and untampered by using cryptography and pulling data from the most widely used servers on the internet. This vastly increases the sources for Chainlink’s oracles to include web pages we visit every day. Chainlink is also seeing a surge in demand, thanks to the growing popularity of DeFi. These protocols need access to reliable price feeds. Since July, Chainlink’s secured value has grown from $220 million to $3 billion. That’s a 1,264% increase in just two months. With DeFi and blockchain technology just getting started, Chainlink will play a critical role in bringing secure and reliable data to these networks. For these reasons, we see Chainlink as a great token to continue holding.

Digital Money BTCAs we further and further progress into a digital ERA bitcoins looming presence of disruption becomes ever more apparent. I believe we will see large upsides as a result of this current formation (rounded top) and breakout from symmetrical triangle This 'disruption' will largely affect Money and Surveillance. A misconception about bitcoin is that it will provide privacy. As adoption occurs, this privacy will fade as every transaction and deposit is recorded. Unalike cash payments. Crime will reduce Society will grow Just some thoughts on the top of my head, feel free to leave a comment

Ethereum is Eating Bitcoin !! Why Buy Ethereum NowLike bitcoin, Ethereum is starting to see mass adoption. It has over 1,200 monthly active developers – about four times more than the next biggest ecosystem. And it’s leaps and bounds more than the top 100 crypto ecosystems, which have less than 250 developers. More developers mean more solutions being built on the network, which attracts new talent and solutions. And there’s more. Ethereum has: Over 3,000 dApps built on the network. When a new developer or user decides what platform to use, the host of solutions already built on Ethereum makes it more attractive. Over $650 million locked up in decentralized finance. Cutting out the middle man is a goal of decentralized finance. The current rate of growth is a sign that this sector is ramping up. The most robust alliance in crypto with its almost 400-member Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA). They included giants like BP Technology Ventures, JPMorgan Chase, Intel, Microsoft, Accenture, BNY Mellon, and ING.Its ecosystem is the most expansive in crypto and is going through a massive evolution with ETH 2.0. The upgrade will make it easier for millions of new validators to come into the ecosystem. And it will boost Ethereum’s scalability. Ethereum is also making it so easy no servers or closet full of computing power is required. In fact, it’s expected validators can operate on a laptop. This lower power requirement means a higher level of decentralization and a stronger network, as a result. ETH 2.0 is also expected to increase its scalability by 1,000 times. This makes it appealing for mass adoption. When scalability gets addressed at the magnitude Joseph Lubin, cofounder of EthSuisse and heavy ETH contributor, refers to, we expect the hundreds of private Ethereum- based blockchains to migrate to ETH 2.0. Meaning wide-scale adoption. In fact, many of the 400 EEA members are using Ethereum-based private ledgers Quorum, VAKT, Komgo, and Aura. Some of these private ledger variants might sound familiar. You see, Quorum was built by JPMorgan. VAKT’s investors include BP, Koch, and Shell, among others. Komgo’s investors include Citibank and ING. And Aura made headlines when it was released by Louis Vuitton. These are some of the largest companies in the world. Soon, we expect some to move towards, ETH 2.0. That’s because it will be cheaper and more secure, with more interoperability. These companies will want to tap into the extensive dApps being built and reach more users. And since each transaction on the network requires a certain amount of gas in the form of ETH, we expect ETH 2.0 to be the game changer propelling ETH higher.

Omg Crypto has Accomplished The Biggest Milestone!!OMG launched its mainnet on June 1. It’s a milestone the team has been working toward since its ICO in 2017. The OMG Network is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum based on a codebase called Plasma. It speeds up transaction times and reduces transaction costs by 66%. One of the first major newcomers to the network is Bitfinex, a top crypto exchange. The exchange will use the network for its USDT stablecoin right off the bat. This is significant because USDT is the biggest contributor to Ethereum activity, which means the OMG Network will have sizable usage immediately. We expect more crypto projects to follow Bitfinex’s lead. In addition, we anticipate enterprise use to follow via its parent company, Omise. Omise has 8,000 merchants who would benefit from moving many operations to the OMG Network. This would be very bullish for OMG. The future is bright for the OMG Network as it accomplishes one of the biggest milestones on the roadmap. We expect prices to continue rising as more usage hits the network.

Ethereum has Liftoff! Target $800According to reports, Ethereum miners recently made more in transaction fees than bitcoin miners over two days. While this is great for miners, the media chose to paint this stat as something that came from left field. But when looking at total transactions, you’ll see this momentum was building. Total transactions indicate how much traffic is happening on Ethereum. And it tells a clear story of how much Ethereum is really growing.Since the beginning of the year, transactions on Ethereum have grown nearly 80%, while bitcoin has remained relatively flat. Part of this is thanks to Tether (USDT) moving a significant portion of its activity to Ethereum and the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem growing. DeFi Pulse, a website tracking the amount of value locked up in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem, shows that figure topped $1 billion this month. And some of this growth is attributed to BTC being locked up within Ethereum.This might seem odd at first, but several projects are making it happen. Being able to tap into one of the most liquid cryptocurrencies can open up additional use cases for them and more value for users. Since the start of May 2020, the amount of bitcoin locked up in Ethereum DeFi has grown from 2,000 BTC to nearly 5,000 BTC. We expect this to keep growing as more projects bring BTC into the Ethereum ecosystem. Now, DeFi is only one part of the Ethereum ecosystem. Other development areas include storage systems, enterprise use, renting computing power, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), gaming, derivatives, DEXs, and more. All these developments are being spurred by one catalyst: ETH 2.0. It’ll be one of the largest upgrades in crypto ever. The network plans to transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof- of-Stake (PoS) consensus to improve decentralization, scalability, speed, and security. The entire process will take several years. Phase 0 is the first part of ETH 2.0. It will be the Beacon Chain for ETH 2.0, the foundation for the rest of the network. And we expect it in the next few months. It’s currently being stress-tested and once the main validators agree the network is reliable, Phase 0 will roll out. One of the most significant features Phase 0 will introduce is staking. Individuals can earn staking fees as validators of the Beacon Chain before any real activity migrates to ETH 2.0. This is significant, because an individual must stake 32 ETH to become a validator. This locks up supply and creates a scarcity of the remaining ETH in circulation. We expect this to reward ETH holders in turn. Keep in mind, the growth of DeFi and the rollout of ETH 2.0 are only two bullish aspects of Ethereum. With over 2,000 applications and the largest developer base in crypto, there are dozens of areas that will bring even more transactions and usage to the network. ETH 2.0 will simply remove limits to the growth of its ecosystem.

Why Quantstamp (QSP) Is the Most Valuable Cryptocurrency? Pump?Audits are cheaper than hacks. And after the recent hacks of Uniswap and Balance, more projects are turning to Quantstamp to audit their code for weaknesses. ETH 2.0 is the largest upgrade in crypto history, and Quantstamp is helping audit it. Prysmatic Labs is the developer behind a Go-based client for ETH 2.0. With the new upgrade, Ethereum is moving from a PoW consensus algorithm to a PoS one to address scalability. This means there are a host of potential bugs or code errors that can arise with such a transition. It’s why Quantstamp keeps getting tapped to ensure the code quality. The Quantstamp team has audited over 120 contracts to secure over $2 billion worth of digital assets since 2017. As the launch of ETH 2.0’s Beacon Chain draws near and tests continue, we expect Quantstamp to be the auditor the community leans on. And when the transition takes place, we expect Ethereum’s 2,000-plus dApps to also seek Quantstamp’s services for audits as well. Being the most trusted Ethereum auditor means as the ecosystem grows, Quantstamp grows with it.

Why Polkadot(DOT) Crypto WIll Pump?What makes Polkadot an attractive project and what problems does it solve? One of the existing challenges for blockchain projects going really “big” is a lack of interoperability and scalability. ''Interoperability'' means that different blockchains can interact with each other and safely exchange data and ensuring consistent results to a user accessing one or another blockchain. ''Scalability'' is a big issue in blockchain which is well described by the Scalability Trilemma. Scalability is measured by the capability of the blockchain to process many transactions within an interval of time, i.e. allowing fast operations. Both properties are important for real-life applications: 1) scalability attract more users and can process more data while interoperability makes it possible for blockchains with different functionalities to exchange data and perform common operations (imagine, for instance, a case of insurance payments where interactions of different agents are required). Polkadot claims to address the issues of scalability and interoperability by providing a basis for the “Internet of blockchains” — a platform for different blockchains to interact while secured by a common consensus algorithm. Web3 is a project that crystalises the overarching idea of Polkadot — interconnected blockchains with different functionalities with open access and diverse participants, all on the base of Polkadot. The scale and ambition of the project makes it definitely worth to keep an eye on. Web3 and Polkadot have an impressive team behind them. Founders are Dr.Gavin Wood, co-founder and CTO of Ethereum, as well as Peter Czaban and a Thiel Fellow Robert Habermeier. The research work is conducted together with Inria Paris and ETH Zurich. The tech part is done by the developers from Parity Technologies, with the support of the capital partners from crypto-funds such as Polychain Capital. Strong team and good connections in the crypto world is one of the attractive points of the projects.

Why BNB Will Gain More!! BInance coinBinance is expanding its reach into the payment industry with its acquisition of Swipe. Swipe is a digital wallet, crypto trading platform, and Visa debit card, all rolled into one. Swipe users can deposit or trade over 30 cryptocurrencies, including Binance’s native BNB token. The Swipe debit card then allows users to spend their crypto assets at over 50 million locations worldwide, wherever Visa is accepted. The most intriguing part of the Visa card is the merchant won’t know if you paid in crypto or fiat, as they only see their native currency. All the conversions are virtually instant and in the background. Binance will use this acquisition to further bridge the gap between traditional currencies and digital assets. Binance previously announced plans to launch a debit card back in April, but it didn’t materialize. The recent acquisition of Swipe now gives Binance the tools it needs to connect its trading platform to traditional payment systems around the globe. We see this Fintech type of acquisition adding yet another revenue stream to Binance’s other recent developments, such as crypto pool mining, the derivative platform FTX, and CoinMarketCap acquisition. Binance is clearly becoming a dominant player in crypto, which is why we think BNB will gain more from here.

Engin Crypto Gaming Platform is So huge!!! It’s been a busy year for Enjin. -->It officially launched the Enjin Platform, a blockchain PaaS (Platform as a Service) that allows developers to create and manage blockchain games without knowing any blockchain code. -->It kicked off its Multiverse program. This gives game developers everything they need to incorporate their games into the Enjin platform, including marketing, community management, and crowdfunding. -->And it released software development kits (SDKs) for Java and Godot. Both are popular programming languages and make it easier for developers to build on Enjin. The hard work is paying off. Enjin started the year with roughly 50 million assets on its platform. Today, it’s over 1 billion Next up is Efinity, Enjin’s game-channel network for highly scalable blockchain transactions. With Efinity, a game can perform nearly infinite volumes of transactions between millions of players and the game server. And these transactions will remain trustless and verified on the Ethereum blockchain. Efinity’s release is expected later in 2020. With all these new developments and Enjin’s draw on millennials, we think the project has lots of room to run.

Clearly Institution Are Interested in Bitcoin!! Bitcoin is the gateway into crypto. Which means what’s good for bitcoin is good for crypto.And what we’re seeing with bitcoin is institutions are not just showing more interest in it... they’re adding it. Which means the narrative for bitcoin is changing, and some of the largest holders of capital are buying it. Fidelity Investments is one of the largest financial services providers – with $7.9 trillion in client assets – to show a keen interest in digital assets. Part of its interest lies in understanding what institutional investors expect and want from digital assets. Recent study Fidelity conducted of nearly 800 U.S. and European investors, it’s clear these investors – which represent gateways of massive sums of capital – are very interested. In five years, 91% of the survey respondents who are open to digital assets expect to have at least 0.5% of their portfolio dedicated to it. And as of now, only 36% of respondents are currently invested in digital assets. This means not only will more institutions enter the space, but those already invested plan to increase their allocations. This is very bullish for long-term bitcoin investors. That’s because there’s no emerging asset like it - where some of the largest pools of capitals have their eyes set on entering it. The narrative that a 1-2% allocation to crypto will boost returns, while reducing portfolio volatility (due to bitcoin being an uncorrelated asset to stocks and bonds), is spreading.We saw Paul Tudor Jones go in front of the camera and declare he’s bought into the narrative. And with Fidelity’s study, we see the rest of the investment community warming up. As more institutional investors enter crypto, they’ll be more likely to gain exposure to cryptos outside of bitcoin. And that’s when we’ll see the entire market create the next wave of millionaires. The time to consider getting bitcoin, if you haven’t already, is now... before institutions decide to change their allocation from 0% to a higher number.

Steem could be the next decentralized social network!!! The Steem community is focused on driving usage to Steemit, the social media blog powered by the Steem blockchain. Part of this drive included a program called “100 Days of Steem.” It’s a daily post geared toward building a community with wide participation. As the 100 days wrap up, the Steemit team mentioned the creation of a roadmap. Its refocused goals moving forward will be the three R’s: recruitment, retention, and reward.This is how it’ll see a strong, vibrant community emerge and take hold. Steem is also electing country representatives. The elected representatives will be tasked with spreading awareness in the countries they represent. And the application process should begin this month. Steemit is the most active application on the blockchain. And it’s starting to develop a roadmap forward after March’s contentious hard fork. As Steemit regroups and begins to hit roadmap milestones, we expect it to drive STEEM’s value higher.
