⚡️Bitcoin Prices Hit Fresh, All-Time High Above $66,000

According to CoinGecko, the price of Bitcoin at the moment is $66,100. During the day the price of bitcoin increased by 5%, for the week - by more than 17%. The cryptocurrency has been rising in price since mid-October - on the 15th its rate exceeded $60,000 and on the 19th approached a historical maximum.

Bitcoin's rise is associated with yesterday's release of the first Bitcoin-ETF on the New York Stock Exchange.

"This is an important moment," said Jesse Proudman, co-founder and CEO of Makara, a cryptocurrency advisory firm. "It's no longer a question of whether this asset class will continue to exist - I think it's a really significant mark in the history of the broader digital asset class."

Over the year, Bitcoin has increased its growth to nearly by 130%. The largest digital currency by market size is up by more than 300% in 2020 and by 95% in 2019, after falling 73% in 2018.

Ethereum renewed its historic high at $4,375

On the Binance exchange, the cryptocurrency's price reached the amount of $4,375. Unfortunately, the coin failed to consolidate at this level, at the time of writing the post Ethereum is trading at $4,115.

During the day, the coin's price rose for 11%, with a market capitalization of $508 billion. The daily trading volume was $31.57 billion.

The coin last peaked in May, at which time Ethereum was valued at $4,350.

In a recent interview with The Stake Borg podcast, the coin's founder, Vitalik Buterin suggested that the second most capitalized cryptocurrency would surpass bitcoin in terms of total market value and as a means of preserving capital.


"It's possible. I think the big difference between Ethereum and bitcoin is that the latter is a platform where the value of the ecosystem depends on the value of the cryptocurrency, but Ethereum is exactly the opposite," he said.

Elon Musk explained why he continues to support Dogecoin

Responding to questions from followers on Twitter, the CEO of Tesla and Space X once again showed his support for the Dogecoin. According to the entrepreneur, he supports the coin because he considers it "the people's cryptocurrency."

"A lot of people I've talked to on Tesla's production lines or in building rockets at SpaceX own Doge. They are not financial experts or Silicon Valley technologists. That's why I decided to support Doge - I thought it was the people's cryptocurrency." - Musk wrote.

But that's not the only reason for the businessman's special love for the coin. "Doge has memes and dogs and others don't."

Elon Musk also denied that he and his representatives are part of the Dogecoin Foundation. In August, the company made a statement saying that Elon Musk's representative Jared Birchall and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin had joined the company's renewed board.

According to a Finder survey, 30.6% of cryptocurrency owners in the U.S. said they own Dogecoin. Globally, only 19.2% of cryptocurrency owners own the coin.
Cryptocurrency ownership in Nigeria is highest in the world

Users in Nigeria have the highest rates of cryptocurrency ownership in the world, followed by Malaysia and Australia, according to Finder recent research.

Nigeria has the highest rate of cryptocurrency ownership in the world with 24.2% of its online population
saying they own a form of cryptocurrency, followed by Malaysia (18%) and Australia (17.8%) respectively.

Nigeria is the #1 country worldwide in terms of number of people searching for “Bitcoin” and “Crypto” keywords on Google.

In the last five years, Nigeria has traded 60,215 bitcoins, valued at more than $566 million which, apart from the US, is the largest volume worldwide on Paxful, a leading peer-to-peer bitcoin marketplace.

The data scraped from Coin Dance shows from the beginning of May 2015 to the middle of November this year, bitcoin trade in Nigeria have increased yearly at least 19% in volume since 2017, and the highest volume (20,504.50) was traded in 2020.

Bitcoin trade had its highest spike of 30% this year during the national lockdown in the country and the highest volume traded during the peak of the pandemic.

Between January and September, Paxful reported a 137% increase in new registrations in Nigeria.

Peer-to-peer (P2P)
exchanges, which are decentralized platforms that directly connects buyers and sellers without third parties are the most popular way to buy bitcoin in Africa because users do not have to worry about cryptocurrency regulation by the government.

Paxful says Nigerians make up around a quarter of its customer base with 1.3 million registered accounts. “They mostly use the platform for peer-to-peer and arbitrage trading,” says Nena Nwachukwu, Paxful Nigeria regional manager. “Remittances is also a popular use case.” Nwachukwu says bitcoin transfers are “much cheaper and faster than using traditional money transfer operators.”

Mining, Staking and Deposit. What is the difference and how to make money on it.

📍Crypto mining refers to the process of gaining cryptocurrencies by solving cryptographic equations with the use of high-power computers. The solving process comprises verifying data blocks and adding transaction records to a public record (ledger) known as a blockchain. That is secured by applying complex encryption techniques.

Miners are engaged in the creation of new structures - blockchain, to ensure the operation of cryptocurrency platforms. For the creation of a new structure, a miner is remunerated through new (emitted) cryptocurrency units and/or commissions.

All blockchain participants keep the entire blockchain from the beginning, constantly adding new blocks to the end. Miners collect and process information about all transactions that are currently taking place with the cryptocurrency. If a new block in the blockchain is made according to all the rules, it is added to the end of the chain, and the miner receives a reward of 12.5 bitcoins for doing so.

It is important to understand that now crypto mining is not possible without expensive equipment, which also consumes a lot of electricity. The probability of receiving a reward is equal to the ratio of the miner's processing power to the processing power of the entire network. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to make money as solo-miner, so miners join together and create mining farms, which allow them to provide the necessary power and distribute the costs of maintenance.

📍Staking is a type of passive income from cryptocurrency. Users store coins on the Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm and keep the blockchain running. For this they receive a reward. This feature is only available to cryptocurrencies that run on PoS, such as EOS, Tezos, TRON and Cosmos. In the future, Ethereum, the largest altcoin by capitalization, plans to switch to the PoS algorithm.

In the PoS algorithm, remote servers running the masternode software provide network operation. This can be a home computer or a laptop with a certain amount of funds. The device helps the network to work, for which its owner receives a reward.

In order to start earning, the user needs to have a wallet, refill it with coins on the PoS algorithm. Then, wait for the blocks to appear, install the client on the computer and run the wallet.

Staking does not require a lot of technical power, and therefore is a more environmentally friendly way to make money from cryptocurrencies.

📍Deposit is another way to make money from cryptocurrency that DeFi platforms offer. The user makes a deposit to the chosen platform and while the money is there makes a profit.

The main difference between deposit and staking is that the user provides liquidity to decentralized trading platforms. Such exchanges need money for traders to trade on them. Therefore, the services offer rewards to those who provide them with assets for use.
You do not need special hardware or software to make money on deposits - DeFi platform takes care of all the maintenance.

Token based on the "Squid Game" series gained 3380% in 24 hours

Trading volumes of altcoin SQUID, which is based on the hit series from Netflix, increased by 60% in 24 hours and reached $5.8 million. The token grew by 3380% and its value currently stands at $6.89.

But users can't sell tokens that rose in price right now. The authors of the project created a special anti-dumping mechanism that prohibits holders from selling the token under certain conditions.

SQUID is a token of the Squid Game project. In November, the project will launch an online version of the Squid Game, consisting of 6 rounds, similar to the challenges in the series. In order to participate, users need to make a starting fee in SQUID tokens.

The winner of each round will receive 90% of the collected funds, 10% of the amount will be received by the developers of the game. In order to take part in the final game, the participant must purchase a special NFT token.

The token sale was launched on Oct. 20. According to the developers, the tokens sold out in 1 second.

How Mark Zuckerberg's new "Metaverse" will affect the future of cryptocurrency

On October 28, Facebook Inc. corporation, which includes the social networks Facebook, Instagram, messenger WhatsApp, and other services, announced a rebranding and name change to Meta.

According to the CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, it is necessary so that users perceive the corporation as a meta-universe. The company promises to build a virtual world for 1 billion users by 2031.

In an open letter, Mark Zuckerberg stated that Meta will support NFT and cryptocurrency.

This is not the company's first step toward cryptocurrency. Facebook in collaboration with Coinbase has already launched a pilot project of its cryptocurrency wallet called Novi. Novi aims to enable users of the social network to make international transfers in Pax tokens quickly, securely and without fees. Novi has sparked debates in the U.S. Senate, but the company has not given up on developing the project.

Analysts say that Novi will not be the only crypto project in Metaverse. Many blockchain platforms are expected to exist based on the platform, providing for the creation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and smart contracts. And this means that these are the platforms that will grow and develop faster than others.

The rebranding of Facebook Inc. has already had an impact on the cryptocurrency market. The Metaverse token index rose 20% overnight, while MANA and SAND meta-tokens rose 100% and 35%. The NFT is not related to Meta. The tokens are used on the Decentraland platform, where users can buy virtual property, and the growth of little-known tokens is caused by a simple coincidence in the name.

Cryptocurrency based on the "Squid Game" collapses in a $3 million scam

Previously, we wrote about the SQUID token's rise. The cryptocurrency based on the "Squid Game" series attracted a large number of investors and its value soared to $2800 before its creators disappeared.

A cryptocurrency called SQUID was launched in late October and rose in value by 310,000% in just a few days. It was marketed as a way to play an upcoming online game based on a South Korean TV series.

On Monday the coin's value plummeted to $0, the project's website disappeared, and its Twitter account was blocked. According to The Guardian, the creators cashed all of the collected cryptocurrency and disappeared. The scammers may have received up to $3.38 million. Neither the cryptocurrency nor the upcoming online game had anything to do with Netflix.

This is not the first such case. In early 2021, a token based on The Mandalorean series was launched, which also turned out to be a scam.

We ask you to be more careful and cautious when choosing a project for investment.

Fear and Greed Index is in neutral zone at 52 points. Yesterday's correction failed to cool the ardor of investors, so there is a probability of further decline to $56-57,000📉. For the growth we need to consolidate above $63,000📈.

All last week the market was at 71-75 points showing greed for the asset and apparently we have yet to experience real fear😱😱.

Time Magazine will keep Ethereum on its balance sheet after its partnership with Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital Via and work to support content on the fresh and relevant Metaverse👾 topic.

Not surprisingly, since The Time's🕰 history is closely connected to crypto and the magazine has always supported the industry: they were the first to introduce the concept of cryptocurrency, promoting and researching digital money for 13 years. The Time also created its own NFT collection, in which 4,676 NFT tokens were sold out at the end of September in 1 minute👍.

Senator Jane Hume, while speaking at the Australian Financial Review Super & Wealth Summit in Sydney, described DeFi as a new and fast-growing area of financial technology with many opportunities👍.

In her words:

"... the introduction of cryptocurrency and Defi will boost the country's economy, as well as cement Australia's role as a leader in innovation and economic progress".

Not surprisingly, because according to a survey in the country about 17% of residents invested in cryptocurrency💸, and one of the major banks "Commonwealth Bank"🏛 became the first Australian bank that allowed its customers to own not only fiat funds, but also cryptocurrency.

The population is ready for official recognition of the asset, and the positive attitude towards the DeFi sector could make Australia the first country in the world to appreciate the functionality of decentralised finance!🏆
