Why Bitcoin Sees Most Of Its Gains While US Traders are Asleep (Bloomberg)

It often parties all night long, and in the process, notches more robust gains than while US markets are open. A hypothetical strategy that buys the coin at the equity-market close -- at 4 p.m. in New York -- and sells it at the next day’s open -- at 9:30 a.m. -- yields gains of roughly 260% going back to the start of 2020, according to Bespoke Investment Group. Conversely, buying it at the US market open and selling it at the close spits out an advance of 3.6%. The coin even tends to trend higher during weekends, the firm found, when stock investors are resting or barbecuing or doing whatever weekend activities they’re fond of.

Diving For Digital Dollars: Exploring For Lost Bitcoin (Forbes)

In time, value will migrate to currencies built on quantum-resistant algorithms. But right now it might be well worth spending a few billion to build a ...

Mark Webber and his team at the University of Sussex in the UK recently calculated that breaking the cryptography in a 10-minute window would require a quantum computer with 1.9 billion qubits, while cracking it in an hour would require a machine with 317 million qubits. They they would need to get their bogus transactions processed before the original transaction (by paying a bigger fee). All of this would need to be well-timed and finished in a relatively small time window, which sounds hard but it is worth doing because it puts every Bitcoin transaction at risk. An attacker with a quantum computer can find the corresponding private key and recreate the transaction to send the money (for example) to themselves. For technical reasons to do with the way that public keys and things work, the accountants Deloitte reckon that about four million Bitcoins will be vulnerable to such a quantum attack. (Colombia estimates that it will cost about $70 million to salvage what it calls a "national treasure," and it wants it put on display in a museum to be built in Cartagena but there's an interesting dispute emerging around the wreck, which is in Colombian waters. The San José was a 62-gun, three-masted galleon that was sunk by the British with 600 people on board during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714). The British were at the time trying to prevent Spanish galleons from returning to Europe loaded with bullion and jewels that could be to fund the war.

Le support du Bitcoin est menacé, les whales profitent de la chute ... (Journal du Coin)

Les altcoins suivent et de manière très intense, car Ethereum est faible actuellement face au Bitcoin. L'inflation aux États-Unis ne se calme pas et il ...

Pour le moment, la dynamique est baissière et les vendeurs ont la main sur le cours. Il est intéressant de remarquer que la situation est différente par rapport à 2018. Le Bitcoin est fragile, les acheteurs doivent réagir pour éviter un retour à 19 000 $. Les whales semblent avoir profité de la baisse pour accumuler du Bitcoin, mais le cours peut continuer de chuter. On le voit, le nombre d’adresses avec plus de 10 000 BTC a augmenté pendant la récente chute. Bien souvent, les mouvements de fortes chutes font peur aux petits investisseurs qui vendent à perte dans le but d’acheter plus bas. Le range en journalier a été cassé par le haut en allant chercher 32 400 $, mais les vendeurs ont réussi à faire chuter le cours pour revenir dans le range. Le Bitcoin peut-il tout de même sauver les meubles ou bien le cycle est de nouveau baissier comme en 2018 ? Que font les whales pendant cette nouvelle chute ? Allons voir les niveaux importants sur le cours du Bitcoin et les informations que nous donnent les indicateurs concernant le comportement des acteurs du marché. Le momentum, qui permet de décrire la force des vendeurs contre la force des acheteurs, est clairement baissier et, cela, depuis début 2021. Si c’est le scénario qui se réalise, le cours irait alors probablement chercher une capitulation. Cette zone fait résistance depuis maintenant plusieurs mois, signe que les vendeurs ont la main. Le RSI est dans une zone de survente qui correspond aux plus bas connus lors des autres bermarkets. La moyenne mobile à 100 périodes, qui a souvent servi de support dynamique lors des derniers bearmarkets, n’est plus très loin.

Ce milliardaire recommande d'acheter du Bitcoin plutôt que de l'or ... (Phonandroid)

Stanley Druckenmiller, gestionnaire de fonds spéculatifs, recommande d'acheter du Bitcoin en cas de marché haussier.

Le millionnaire estime que le Bitcoin finira par devenir une valeur refuge alors que le dollar menace de s'effondrer. “Si je pensais que nous allions avoir un marché baissier, je voudrais posséder de l'or”, souligne l'investisseur américain. Dans ce contexte, l'or, valeur refuge par excellence, pourrait servir de protection contre les aléas des marchés. Par contre, le milliardaire recommande la prudence en cas de “bear market”, l'expression qui évoque un marché baissier.

Questions have been raised about crypto platforms like Celsius that promise massive yields to their customers after last month’s high-profile collapse of another high-yielding stable coin, Terra, and its companion token, Luna, last month. Celsius runs one of the largest crypto lending operations in the world and it managed to raise $750 million in funding last year from the likes of investment firm WestCap and Canadian pension fund manager Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. Celsius has also borrowed $500 million from the U.S. dollar-pegged stable coin Tether, down from an originally planned loan of $1 billion. According to the Financial Times, Celsius was also impacted by the overall decline in the cryptocurrency market in the last few months with its overall assets dropping from a value of $24 billion in December 2021 to $11.8 billion last month.
