Parte dez do básico do Bitcoin: O fenômeno explicado em inglês simples. A parte 9 da série básica Bitcoin falou sobre como armazenar sua moeda criptográfica.
Na parte 10, analisamos por que você deve investir em Bitcoin Revolution. A Bitcoin representa um passo emocionante para o futuro da moeda.
Até este ponto, as transações peer-to-peer têm tradicionalmente visto as partes trocarem mercadorias, materiais preciosos ou moeda fiat que é regulada e controlada por um banco central e está sujeita a picos e vales de valor que são determinados por preocupações geográficas e políticas.
Pela primeira vez, o bitcoin oferece um método concreto para que as partes envolvidas em transações ao redor do mundo possam trocar valor sem a interferência de um regulador sem atrasos consideráveis.
A bitcoin é atraente não apenas pelo fato de representar um meio aliciante de pagar a terceiros por bens ou serviços prestados, mas também pelo fato de representar uma área de intenso interesse e foco para os investidores.
Os contínuos ganhos de preço da bitcoin
Os contínuos ganhos de preço da bitcoin têm sido alimentados pelo interesse mundial na moeda criptográfica e, embora as perdas possam facilmente superar os ganhos, investir na bitcoin representa um veículo de investimento promissor através do qual se pode não apenas fazer parte do futuro da moeda, mas também acumular riqueza enquanto se faz isso.
Fundamentalmente, o bitcoin representa uma quebra em um paradigma global que existe há anos – e é um paradigma que tem entusiasmado investidores, analistas e espectadores. Enquanto o futuro permanece em fluxo – à medida que as preocupações com a bolha, as regulamentações internacionais e as novas leis se acumulam – o bitcoin continua sendo um novo desenvolvimento intensamente excitante que poderia muito bem mudar o mundo como o conhecemos.
Na CoinInsider, vamos cobrir o crescimento das moedas criptográficas e sua aceitação em todo o mundo, embora cobrindo não apenas notícias de última hora, mas também através de incisivas peças editoriais explorando os mercados de moedas criptográficas, sua adoção, a regulamentação que podem enfrentar, a tecnologia por trás delas e os picos de preços e vales ao longo do caminho.
Se você está tão cativado pelo surgimento desta nova tecnologia e como ela poderia mudar o mundo, nós o convidamos a juntar-se a nós enquanto capturamos o primeiro esboço deste momento marcante da história.
De acordo com DappRadar, os quatro principais aplicativos NFT descentralizados agora geram US $ 10 milhões em volume a cada dia.
A empolgação em torno dos NFTs não mostra sinais de desaceleração, com os quatro principais aplicativos NFT descentralizados gerando mais de US $ 10 milhões em volume diário
De acordo com o agregador de dados de aplicativos descentralizado DappRadar , NBA Top Shot, CryptoPunks, Mooncats e Sorare representaram mais de US $ 10,57 milhões em vendas secundárias de NFT nas últimas 24 horas.
No entanto, os volumes gerais de NFT DApp são dominados pelos quatro primeiros, com o volume diário combinado dos 10 maiores DApps equivalendo a US $ 12,27 milhões.
O mercado secundário da NBA Top Shot é o NFT DApp dominante em todas as métricas, com 30.944 traders conduzindo 30.372 transações no valor de $ 4,62 milhões nas últimas 24 horas.
Enquanto o projeto pioneiro NFT CryptoPunks ocupa o segundo lugar em volume, com US $ 4,28 milhões, ele se classifica mal por comerciantes e número de transações – com 85 usuários executando 69 negociações hoje. Da mesma forma, o recém-exumado Mooncats colecionáveis DApp ocupa o terceiro lugar em volume diário com $ 1,02 milhões, mas ocupa o sétimo lugar em usuários com 500 e o oitavo em contagem de comércio total com 530.
O jogo de futebol fantasia Sorare ocupa o quarto lugar em volume de negócios, com $ 881.700. A plataforma também ocupa o segundo lugar por traers com 1.978, e o terceiro por atividade com 2.544 transações realizadas nas últimas 24 horas
O jogo baseado em WAX, Alien Worlds, também é popular entre os usuários, ocupando o segundo lugar com 1.172 comerciantes e o terceiro por atividade, com 3.705 transações diárias. O mercado de arte digital e colecionáveis Rarible também se destaca, ficando em quinto lugar em volume com US $ 530.000, em quarto lugar por usuários com 1.062 e em quinto lugar por transações com 987.
Os dados mostram que os itens de coleção esportivos estão crescendo em popularidade , com o Top Shot e os 32.894 usuários de Sorare gerando negócios no valor de US $ 5,3 milhões nas últimas 24 horas.
Em 14 de março, Sorare anunciou que um NFT único representando o craque Cristiano Ronaldo do Juventus FC trocou as mãos por quase $ 290.000 , estabelecendo um novo recorde para o valor de um único token vendido na plataforma.
A venda também superou o recorde anterior de venda NFT da NBA Top Shot, com um token representando os destaques de Lebron James do Los Angeles Lakers sendo vendido por US $ 208.000 em 23 de fevereiro. No entanto, um colecionador do Top Shot recusou recentemente um lance de US $ 1 milhão por um símbolo de comemoração Zion Williamson dos Pelicanos de Nova Orleans.
Bullen fordern 2.000 Dollar für Ethereum, da es ein weiteres Rekordhoch erreicht
Ethereum erreichte am Dienstag ein weiteres Rekordniveau, als Händler sein begrenztes Angebot gegen die Euphorie um die Einführung von Ether-Futures an der Chicago Mercantile Exchange nächste Woche bewerteten.
Die zweitgrößte Kryptowährung erreichte zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte fast die 1.700-Dollar-Marke, nachdem sie fast elf Monate lang eine Rallye hingelegt hatte, die ihren Preis seit letztem März um mehr als 1.750 Prozent ansteigen ließ. Sein Gewinn erschien als Teil eines breiteren Aufwärtstrends auf dem Crypto Superstar Kryptowährungsmarkt, der viele, einschließlich Bitcoin, AAVE und UniSwap, auf ihre Allzeithochs ansteigen ließ.
Im Großen und Ganzen ist das Marktinteresse gestiegen, nachdem institutionelle Investoren begonnen haben, ihr Kapital in den Bitcoin-Markt zu investieren, in dem Glauben, dass die Benchmark-Kryptowährung als ihre Absicherung gegen die Inflation fungieren würde, die durch die ultralockere Politik der US-Notenbank und die expansiven Konjunkturprogramme der US-Regierung verursacht wird.
Traders Turn Investors/Renditejäger
Kleinanleger wandten sich ebenfalls Bitcoin zu, während sie ihre Wetten in den alternativen Kryptowährungsmärkten aufstockten. Ethereum profitierte aufgrund seiner positiven Korrelation mit der Top-Kryptowährung. Eine Flut von optimistischen Fundamentaldaten, einschließlich Ethereums Wechsel vom energieintensiven Proof-of-Work-Protokoll zu einem ertragsfreundlichen Proof-of-Stake-Mechanismus, trug ebenfalls dazu bei, seine Preise nach oben zu treiben
Infolgedessen gibt es bereits Anzeichen dafür, dass Händler zu langfristigen Investoren werden und erwarten, dass der Ethereum-Preis in den kommenden Sitzungen 2.000 US-Dollar erreichen könnte. Dies wurde durch Berichte über einen massiven Abfluss von Ether von allen Kryptowährungsbörsen deutlich. Infolgedessen gibt es jetzt weniger Token im aktiven Umlauf, was zu einer Liquiditätskrise bei steigender Nachfrage führt.
„Ethereum ist zunehmend in DeFi-Protokollen (Decentralized Finance) eingeschlossen, während Investoren Ethereum auch in ihre eigenen persönlichen Kühlräume verschieben, um es langfristig zu halten“, sagte Simon Peters, ein Analyst bei der Online-Investmentplattform eToro.
„Es ist klar, dass dieses abnehmende Angebot schnell in den Preis einfließt. Da es zu erwarten ist, dass Institutionen ihre Positionen erhöhen werden, erwarten wir, dass der Preis von Ethereum von hier aus steigen wird“, fügte er hinzu.
Ethereum-Futures
In der Zwischenzeit wirkt die Entscheidung der CME, am kommenden Montag Ethereum-Futures einzuführen, ebenfalls als Rückenwind für den Aufwärtstrend der Kryptowährung.
„Die Notierung von Ethereum-Futures an einer regulierten Börse sollte dazu dienen, die Struktur des Kryptomarktes zu verbessern, indem Investoren ein Engagement in der zweitwichtigsten Kryptowährung als Diversifikator zu Bitcoin oder einfach zur Absicherung bestehender Ethereum-Engagements erhalten können“, so die Analysten von JPMorgan in ihrer Notiz an die Kunden.
Nichtsdestotrotz warnte die Bank vor einer bevorstehenden Abwärtskorrektur nach dem Start der Ethereum-Futures und machte dafür die Tendenz der physischen Inhaber verantwortlich, ihre Engagements abzusichern.
In den letzten Tagen haben die Grayscale-Investoren mehr Ethereum als Bitcoin hinzugefügt.

Technische Chartisten sehen das anders. Viele von ihnen stellten fest, dass ETH/USD auf dem Weg ist, $2.000 zu erreichen, basierend auf fraktalen Strukturen, die vom Bitcoin-Markt übernommen wurden. BTC/USD hat fast zwei Monate nach dem Erreichen des vorherigen Allzeithochs bei $20.000 $ 42.000 erreicht.
„Bis jetzt ahmt ETH die BTC-Bewegung nach“, sagte Scott Melker, der Gastgeber des WOAS-Podcasts. „All-Time-High, konsolidieren für etwa zwei Wochen, brechen auf Stärke.“
A transaction for an NFT artwork is currently setting a new record. A group of investors paid over $ 850,000 for a digital avatar.
The market for “Non Fungible Token” (NFT) is prospering. The most recent example of this is a transaction that took place on January 23, when an ultra-rare alien character NFT changed hands. The price: 605 ETH, the equivalent of 857,327 US dollars (as of January 25, 2021). This makes the work of art of the so-called CryptoPunks the most expensive NFT of all time and replaces the previous front runner CryptoKitties Dragon. The deal was announced by the CryptoPunks‘ Twitter account.
The buyers are a group of investors: the NFT collective “FlamingoDAO”, which “supports and collects premium NFTs”. FlamingoDAO confirmed the purchase with a meme on Twitter .
CryptoPunks an NFT art project
Behind the CryptoPunks are Larva Labs, an IT company that works on various technical projects. The NFT project based on the Ethereum Blockchain involves a total of 10,000 uniquely designed characters. However, some fictional characters are rarer than others and therefore more expensive. For example, the alien characters only have nine avatars. Users can trade their objects with other users, with each transaction being recorded on the ETH blockchain so that the owner can be clearly identified.
According to the homepage , over 4,000 CryptoPunks were traded over the past year. The total trading volume amounts to just under 30 million US dollars, with an average purchase price of just over 7,000 US dollars.
NFTs celebrate triumphant advance on the Internet
The latest NFT deal is just the tip of the iceberg. NFTs are becoming increasingly popular. For example, Justin Roiland, co-founder of the comedy series “Rick & Morty” recently sold a digital work of art based on the series for $ 150,000 . More of his works of art are for sale in a collection on the NFT auction platform “Nift Gateway”.
The NFT space does not only include works of art. NFTs now display collectibles, tickets, game items, domain names, proof of ownership for items from the real world, and much more. However, it is currently still difficult to find out which non-fungible tokens are suitable as an investment. It should also be noted that NFTs are difficult to evaluate and are still extremely illiquid. The platform “NFTX” is now trying to solve this problem with an NFT ETF by creating Ethereum tokens that are stored with NTFs. These tokens can then be mixed together as required and thus different assets from, for example, CryptoPunks, CryptoKitties, Axies and many more can be displayed and traded directly on the decentralized crypto exchange “UniSwap”.
DeFi and NFT hype as the engine of the Ethereum rally
The Ethereum is currently experiencing a new all-time high is closely related to the hype about NFTs and the DeFi sector (decentralized finance) in general. Most of the industry is based on the ETH blockchain. The tokens from DeFi projects such as Chainlink or Uniswap are currently swinging into new spheres. Since everyone who wants to participate in the system is dependent on ETH anyway, it is therefore no wonder that the cryptocurrency benefits from the prosperity within the industries.
Liiallisesti velkaantuneet bitcoin-sijoittajat johdannaismarkkinoilla johtivat maanantaina myyntiin, kun taas eetteri- ja futuurimarkkinat ovat alkaneet saada paljon enemmän huomiota.
Bitcoin Code käy kauppaa noin 31444 dollaria kello 21.00 UTC (kello 16.00 ET). Liukastui 5,7% edellisten 24 tunnin aikana.
BTC on hieman alle 10 tunnin ja selvästi alle 50 tunnin liukuvan keskiarvon tuntikaaviossa, mikä on laskeva sivuttain -signaali markkinateknikoille.
Bitcoin-kauppa Bitstampilla 1. tammikuuta lähtien
Bitcoinin hinta laski maanantaina, ja siihen kohdistui myyntipainetta. Noin klo 10.00 UTC (klo 5.00 ET), spot-pörsseissä, kuten Coinbase, nähtiin tavallista suurempi määrä kauppiaita lyömällä myyntiä, ja 6000 BTC: n volyymi pörssissä kyseisen tunnin aikana. Hinnat laskivat niinkin alhaiseksi kuin 28154 dollaria CoinDesk 20 -tietojen mukaan.
„Monet ihmiset ottavat nyt voittoa nopean hinnankorotuksen jälkeen“, sanoi salaussijoitusyrityksen Wave Financialin toimitusjohtaja Constatin Kogan. Itse asiassa bitcoin ylitti 34 000 dollaria ja saavutti kaikkien aikojen ennätyksellisen korkean tason 34 366 dollaria 2. tammikuuta CoinDesk 20 -tietojen mukaan. Analyytikot näkevät monet sijoittajat ymmärtävän joitain voittoja tällaisen nopean nousun jälkeen.
Historiallinen bitcoin-hinta viime viikolla
„Viikonloppuna, kun bitcoin-hinnat nousivat kaikkien aikojen korkeimpiin, markkinat koskettivat uutta vastustustasoa“, sanoi San Franciscossa sijaitsevan OKCoin-pörssin operatiivinen johtaja Jason Lau. „Voitonotto tapahtui näiden tasojen ympärillä, mikä johti joihinkin sivuttain käyviin kauppoihin ja aiheutti monien liikaa vipuvaikutusta futuureissa.“
Normaalia myyntiä maanantaina kello 10.00 UTC (5 am ET) aikana johdannaispörssi BitMEX näki selvitystilassa 10 miljoonaa dollaria, salaus, joka on verrattavissa ylivelkaantuneisiin nouseviin vetoihin liittyvään marginaalikutsuun.
Bitcoin-selvitystilat johdannaispaikalla BitMEX viimeisten 24 tunnin aikana.
BitMEX: ssä tapahtui viime päivän aikana 135 miljoonaa dollaria myyntitappioita, jotka ovat huomattavasti suuremmat kuin kauppiaiden 34 miljoonan dollarin osto-selvitystilat. Tämä osoittaa jonkin verran uupumusta siitä, mikä on ollut hyper-nouseva markkinat maanantaihin asti.
Bitcoin está cotizando justo por encima del soporte menor a 22.300 dólares.
Los indicadores técnicos aún no muestran signos de inversión alcista.
El Proyecto Fideicomiso es un consorcio internacional de organizaciones de noticias que construye estándares de transparencia.
El precio de Bitcoin (BTC) disminuyó considerablemente el 21 de diciembre, y en un momento dado alcanzó un mínimo diario de 21.815 dólares.
Sin embargo, la estructura alcista sigue intacta y se espera que Bitcoin suba a menos que se rompan los niveles de invalidación descritos a continuación.
Descensos continuos de Bitcoin
Ayer, el precio de la BTC disminuyó considerablemente desde su máximo de 24.102 dólares y procedió a alcanzar un mínimo de 21.815 dólares. El candelabro de BTC tiene mechas largas en cada lado, un signo de indecisión derivado de la presión de compra y venta.
Los movimientos de los indicadores técnicos relacionados también son ambiguos. El RSI acaba de caer por debajo de 70 (mostrado con la flecha roja abajo), un signo de una potencial inversión de tendencia.
Sin embargo, el MACD todavía no ha hecho una barra de impulso inferior y el oscilador estocástico está en proceso de hacer una cruz alcista.
Caída diaria de la BTC
El gráfico de seis horas muestra que, a pesar de una caída por debajo de ella, BTC ha logrado mantenerse por encima de la zona de soporte menor de 22.300 dólares. Este es también el nivel de retroceso de 0,382 Fibras del aumento más reciente.
BTC creó una larga mecha inferior por debajo de este nivel, casi tocando el nivel de retroceso de 0,5 Fibras a 21.686 dólares, pero procedió a llegar a un cierre por encima.
El MACD ha perdido su fuerza y el RSI está disminuyendo, pero el último sigue estando por encima de 50 y el primero está por encima de 0.
El gráfico de dos horas también ofrece una visión relativamente neutral.
El RSI ha disminuido por debajo de 50 y no ha generado ninguna divergencia alcista y el MACD se está moviendo consistentemente hacia abajo.
Conteo de Ondas BTC
El recuento más probable sugiere que el BTC está en la subonda 5 (negra) de la onda 3 (naranja), que se espera que termine entre 25.871 y 26.006 dólares.
Considerando este escenario, la disminución de ayer se parece mucho a un retroceso de la cuarta onda, después de la cual se espera un movimiento ascendente para completar la subonda 5.
Una disminución por debajo del mínimo de ayer de 21.864 dólares probablemente causaría una ruptura del canal paralelo e invalidaría este escenario.
El recuento alternativo sugiere que la onda 3 ha sido completada y que el BTC está ahora corrigiendo dentro de la onda 4. Incluso en este caso, esperaríamos que la onda 4 sea poco profunda y rápida debido al principio de la alternancia.
Dado que la onda 2 fue larga, tomando más del doble de tiempo que la onda 1, y retrocedió todo el camino hasta el nivel de retroceso de 0,618 Fib, esperaríamos que la onda 4 regrese a 20.940 dólares (el nivel de retroceso de 0,5 Fib).
Una disminución por debajo de 19.918 dólares (línea roja) invalidaría este conteo de ondas en particular.
Conteo alternativo del BTC
¿Cuál es más probable?
Una mirada de 30 minutos de tiempo apoya la posibilidad de que el BTC está en la subonda 4 y pronto invertirá su tendencia bajista.
La razón de esto es que el aumento desde los mínimos de ayer (resaltados en verde) parece impulsivo, mientras que la caída subsiguiente parece correctiva.
Mientras BTC no se salga del canal, se espera que se mueva hacia arriba y se dirija gradualmente hacia los objetivos cercanos a los 26.000 dólares.
La pequeña cuenta de BTC
Conclusión
Se espera que Bitcoin pronto invierta su tendencia y comience a moverse hacia arriba. Una disminución por debajo de 21.900 dólares pospondría esta posibilidad, lo que sugiere que el BTC está disminuyendo hacia los 21.000 dólares antes de eventualmente subir.
Mark Mobius, grundaren till Mobius Capital Partners, är fortfarande baiss på bitcoin.
På tal med Financial News idag jämförde Mobius i grunden investering i bitcoin med en kasinodrift. Han föreslog att kryptovalutans uppgång är en ”kasinoperation baserad på alla slags rykten och spekulationer”. Veteraninvesteraren noterade vidare att det inte finns någon pålitlig information som kan användas för att förutse nästa drag som bitcoin kommer att ta eftersom tillgången inte följer något särskilt mönster.
„Att försöka förutsäga priset på Bitcoin är ett förlorarspel.“
Att inte kunna förutsäga priset på bitcoin faller i linje med den ökända volatiliteten som kryptotillgången är känd för. Med andra ord, bitcoin-priset gör vad det vill. Fall i punkt, tillbaka i mars, bitcoin nosedived 50% på en enda dag innan snabbt återhämta sig under de följande månaderna. Efter att USA: s presidentval 2020 slutförde, samlades bitcoin nära det högsta $ 20 000-värdet. Kryptovalutan har sedan dess dragit tillbaka till $ 17 000-nivån.
Ändå är investerare med hög nettovärde, flera miljarder dollarföretag och fonder till synes inte rädda för volatiliteten. Faktum är att de hoppar på bitcoin-vagnen utan att tveka. Veteraninvesterare Paul Tudor Jones och Stan Druckenmiller har förklarat hyper hausse ståndpunkter på flaggskeppets kryptovaluta i år, medan företag som Square, MicroStrategy och Square och andra företag doppade fingrarna i bitcoinkorgen.
Ändå fortsätter Mobius att bash bitcoin. Han har faktiskt en historia av att kasta skugga på kungen av kryptos. Till exempel uttalade han tillbaka 2017 att bitcoin är mer av en religion snarare än en valuta.
Förra året sa Mobius att bitcoin ännu inte är bevisat som ett säkert tillflyktsort eftersom det stöds av enbart tro. Han hävdade att världen istället behöver en guldbackad kryptovaluta.
„Om det finns en kryptovaluta som verkligen stöds av guld och det finns en meningsfull överenskommelse och någon form av modern sakförbindelse, kan det här vara ganska intressant.“
Doom-and-Gloomers är euforiska under återkallelser på marknaden
Som förväntat blir bitcoin-skeptikernas röster ofta högre under nedgångar på marknaden. Förutom Mobius kommentarer som kommer strax efter att bitcoin sjönk till $ 16,300 , har andra bitcoin-kritiker också sträckt sig för att berätta det som de ser det.
För bara två dagar sedan twittrade bitcoin-naysayer Peter Schiff , VD för Euro Pacific Capital, sin vanliga pessimism om bitcoin och hävdade att bitcoinbubblan skulle dyka upp.
Kollega BTC-kritiker Nouriel Roubini förtalade också kryptovalutan i en lång Twitter-tirad den 26 november. Roubini gick så långt som att säga att bitcoin inte har något grundläggande värde eller nytta, och liknar det ytterligare med ett „riggat olagligt kasino“.
It’s been a week now. Whether the policy did a good week or a bad week depends on your opinion, but if you are holding Bitcoin, it certainly was good.
The price has gone up over 8.5% in the last seven days. It is now well over $14,000 and took 100 days over $10,000 . This has caused some experts to anticipate a further jump.
Others are looking to 2016 for positive signs. Then, too, a period of pre-election stability was followed by a rally. The next level of resistance could be $17,000. Will Bitcoin get there? A lot depends on how far he falls first.
The whales certainly seem optimistic. Election day saw 58,861 BTC coming out of Binance. That’s about $816 million. This may be the result of a deal, but it could also be whales preparing for a price hike.
About a billion dollars also came out of a Silk Road portfolio for the first time since 2015. This could be the result of a hack .
But Paypal is optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. The company is increasing weekly purchase limits from $10,000 to $15,000. And the currency has a new friend in the US Senate.
Republican Cynthia Lummis won her race to represent Wyoming. Lummis bought Bitcoin for the first time in 2013, and sees the digital currency as a reliable reserve of value.
It is not just Bitcoin that is doing well. The underlying technology is also on the rise. The Associated Press used a blockchain to publish the election results, ensuring that those numbers were not hacked.
Andrew Bragg, a member of the Australian Senate, has promoted the blockchain as a way to facilitate financial compliance. Gibraltar has joined the Global Crypto Wealth Business Council as an observer member.
The British Overseas Territory joins over 50 countries on the council and plans to promote the use of blockchain throughout the island. In Bangladesh, HSBC’s local branch has made the country’s first international blockchain trade finance transaction.
The digital letter of credit took less than a day to process. Without the blockchain, it would take five to 10 days.
Bitcoin and blockchain may be on the rise, but DeFi markets are getting cold. Ethereum rates are low. But Electroneum is up and partying. The payment network is celebrating its third anniversary . It is looking forward to expanding the use of its ETN currency and increasing its AnyTask show platform.
Finally, if you like to drive the CoinZoom is giving a free Tesla . Just use a CoinZoom VISA card or trade some back on the platform and you will have a chance. That would make a good week.
A New York airport uses a blockchain app to provide travelers with information about the cleanliness of surfaces.
In the course of the Corona crisis, the airport in Albany, New York, USA, is using the “Wellness Trace App” to check the cleanliness of surfaces and objects at Albany Airport
The app, which emerged from a collaboration between General Electric (GE), TE-FOOD and Eurofins, is intended to make travel safe even in times of the corona pandemic. The blockchain system from Microsoft Azure serves as the basic framework.
The Profit Revolution app provides travelers with information about the cleanliness of objects and surfaces in advance, even before they come into contact with them. All the travelers have to do is scan in QR codes with their smartphones, which are located all over the airport.
In addition, users can enter their personal impression of the cleanliness of a respective surface in the app and save it for others
As Albany Airport states, the experiment with the app will initially run for three months, with airport employees being tasked with using the app to ensure proper cleanliness in and around the airport in accordance with Corona regulations. To make the relevant information accessible, more than 45 stickers with the corresponding QR codes were distributed.
Philip Calderone, CEO of Albany Airport Regulators, said that „using the innovative GE Wellness Trace app is a big step in enabling safe travel in times of pandemic through digital solutions“.
Other countries are now also using blockchain technology to fight the coronavirus.
For example, a city in Singapore uses blockchain technology to issue a digital health passport. Thanks to the joint project by SGInnovate and Accredify, the pandemic could be contained even better.
The Singapore-based company Perlin has another project, the block chain-based smartphone app „ICC AOKpass“ developed , which in turn facilitates the communication of the infection status.
The open interest in Bitcoin options reached a new all-time high of USD 2.9 billion, indicating that professional traders are still bullish on the BTC price.
Open interest in Bitcoin options contracts (BTC) reached a new all-time high of $2.9 billion. Interestingly, this feat occurred only five days after the October expiration, which settled $400 million in options.

When analyzing the options, the slope of 25% of the delta is the most relevant indicator. This indicator compares similar call and put options side by side.
This indicator will become negative when the premium of put options is higher than that of similarly risky call options. A negative slope translates into a higher cost of protection downwards, indicating an upward trend.
Bitcoin sees a record 100 days above $10,000 while an analyst sees 2021 as „parabolic“ for BTC
The opposite happens when market makers are bearish, which makes the 25% delta slope indicator enter the positive territory. 25% delta slope of 3-month BTC options.
Oscillations between -10% (slightly upward) and +10% (slightly downward) are considered normal. This hasn’t been the case since October 19, when Bitcoin surpassed the $11,600 level and never looked back.
This indicator is the most substantial evidence a trader interested in derivatives needs to recognize the current sentiment of Bitcoin options.
You should be aware of the call and put ratio for further confirmation
To further investigate how these instruments are being used in traders‘ strategies, one must be aware of the buy-sell relationship. Call options are generally used in neutral and bullish strategies, while put options are the opposite.
DeFi at Polkadot: An alternative chain with interoperability on the horizon
By analyzing the proportion of open interest between put and call options, it is possible to estimate in general terms how bearish or bullish traders are.
The open interest on put options has delayed the most bullish call options by 30%. After the October expiration, this difference increased when the indicator reached its lowest level in 3 months.
Based on the current conditions shown by the tilt indicator and the proportion of call and put options, there is little reason to be concerned about the growing open interest in options.
Competition for dominance in the global crypto-derivatives market is intensifying
The market has been signaling bullish intentions, and the liquid derivatives markets are allowing the big players to hedge and enter the spot market.
From the perspective of BTC options, everything is clear for the current bull run to continue.
