The highest it could manage over the past day is $9,250 and a couple of hours ago BTC dropped to its intraday low of $9,050 for the second time.

Altcoins Attempt to Build Gains After a Big Jump in Bitcoin

Image
It is a well-known fact that Bitcoin is the most important token in the entire crypto ecosystem; however, it should also be noted that altcoins have now become just as popular. Bitcoin Rally a Sentimental Boost Despite the fact that many of those coins now command multibillion-dollar valuations, the prices of most of these tokens are intimately tied to that of Bitcoin. Hence, there is now a lot of anticipation among crypto investors and market watchers that the recent rally in Bitcoin might spark a rally in altcoins as well. /**/ The rally in Bitcoin had been completely expected, and it is not really a surprise that there is now a lot of expectations among analysts with regards to the direction of the altcoins market. Bitcoin gained by as much as 42% in recent days, and analysts are now trying to figure out whether some sort of pattern is being replicated in the altcoin market.

Chinese netizens are protesting Notepad++ over its support for Uighurs

Image
Text editors are typically apolitical affairs. Developers use them to write code, and that’s about it. But yesterday, the makers of the popular open-source text editor Notepad++ released an update with the codename: “Free Uighur.” This fateful decision has incensed many Chinese netizens, consequently turning a bland utilitarian tool into another fracture in the already-fraught relationship between the West and the world’s newest superpower. Notepad++ new release “Free Uyghur” edition (v7.8.1)https://ift.tt/2BYuDiI #HumanRightsViolation #China — Notepad++ (@Notepad_plus) October 29, 2019 At the heart of most open source software projects is GitHub, and it’s quite fitting that the front-line of this digital culture war is here. Already, the GitHub issues page (where developers and users highlight newly-discovered bugs within a program) has been brigaded by hundreds of angry posts, making it difficult for the developers to respond to genuine issues with the software. “Foreigners us

I am now officially taking LIGHTNING payments on my online store. Here's the rundown on how I got it done.

E-commerce is a tricky bitch, but if you can manage to understand the psychology of selling a product online and you learn the skills to allow for a seamless transaction, then you're in for a career that you own and control. A few days ago, I told the community about my progress i accepting Bitcoin on my apparel store . We're getting around 50-60k impressions every month, a lot of eyes and transactions around a small operation like ours. Nevertheless, the mere fact that we're accepting Bitcoin as a payment option goes to show the possibility of driving this mainstream. Let me elaborate: Shopify just announced that they crossed 1 million merchants on the platform. Bitcoin is being offered as a NATIVE checkout option via Coinbase Commerce. However, this is where things fall apart. Here's why: Few people want to spend their Bitcoin Those that do want to spend it and believe in its future as a currency don't trust Coinbase So, I got to work. I did my research

The sharp rise in bitcoin last weekend may not be due to Chinese investors

Image
The Block studied data on the rise of Bitcoin from $7,500 to $10,000 on Fridays and Saturdays, arguing that this price volatility is most likely not caused by Chinese investors. The block is based on analysis of transaction data within the global global mainstream cryptocurrency spot exchanges and futures exchanges at this stage.It is found that large orders with long positions in BitMEX and other futures exchanges take precedence over large orders in spot exchanges.So this also means that the price increase this time is likely to be triggered by futures investors.In addition, through the analysis of the trading volume data of exchanges in different countries and regions,The Block also found that US and European exchanges generated huge volume growth.This may mean that this price increase is not triggered by Chinese investors, but more likely by overseas speculators. https://preview.redd.it/p38mngff5sv31.png?width=249&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7dad7e684e954ae3ab7a3ebde

Video: Shift Cryptosecurity on Its Base Node and BitBox02 Wallet

Image
During The Lightning Conference in Berlin, Bitcoin security company Shift Cryptosecurity presented two new products: a revised vision for their popular hardware wallet BitBox (which also has a BTC-only version) and a Bitcoin and Lightning node called the BitBoxBase, which promises to sync the entire Bitcoin blockchain in less than two days’ time and deliver an overall seamless experience. In order to offer more details on these products and explain how they work and what kind of innovations they bring to the space, we interviewed two key figures from the company: CEO and co-founder Douglas Bakkum (inventor of the original BitBox hardware wallet) and hardware enthusiast Stadicus (who is in charge of the node division). According to Bakkum, Shift Cryptosecurity’s philosophy is to “focus on the whole user experience, prioritize simplicity and govern decisions with hardware.”  Correspondingly, the two releases manage to follow this ethos while also providing some features which set the

Implications of a 'Declared External Account' to withdraw to

I looked at this exchange today called EMX and I saw some pretty terrifying language in the terms of service. They said they would not allow you to withdraw unless it was to a Approved External Account. Do you all realize what this implies? These Lawyers and US Agencies are planning on geofencing the Bitcoin network by not allow anonymous exchanges and not allowing centralized exchanges to accept native in the wild software and hardware wallets as they are. They will demand you use a proprietary device that is backdoored and associated with KYC, thus locking the money in a parallel white listed backdoored system where YOU DO NOT OWN THE KEYS EXCLUSIVELY. YOU DO NOT YOU CANNOT BECAUSE IT IS BACKDOORED ​ Why the fuck is no one talking about this????????????? This is a san fransisco company. It's in the ToS. American Lawyers wrote this. This is what these guys in Silicon Valley are cooking up. This is fucking real guys. It's real. submitted by /u/samdane7777 [link] [

Why Bitcoin? Bank of America Services Down Across U.S.

Image
According to some, the need for Bitcoin (BTC) and decentralized digital money was just validated as a financial institution in the U.S. has suddenly gone offline. Over the past hour, reports have flooded in from thousands of Twitter users, including an NBC reporter, regarding Bank of America’s services. These users, which again, count in the thousands, have said that they are unable to access the institution’s services, both online and in the real world. Both the firm’s login portal for clients and ATMs are down. “Looks like all online account services for Bank of America are currently offline or not allowing logins. This is the first I’ve seen a major bank have an outage like this,” an individual wrote, adding that there is no clear way to tell if the bank is seeing a service outage. The US Banking system is fine — you should only worry about systemic risks if you live in Lebanon, Chile, Hong Kong, Turkey, Greece, etc. (Meanwhile, all @BankofAmerica ATMs, websites and customer s

Peter Schiff Back Bashing Bitcoin Hodlers With More Whale Song

Sometimes you get the feeling that certain industry pundits would rejoice if Bitcoin and crypto markets crashed and everyone got wiped out. New ideas and technology frightens a lot of people, especially the old school types that have made their money in other investments. Bitcoin Holding Steady We are now into the fifth day since the epic market surge that briefly took BTC back to five figures again. A little has been added since yesterday but Bitcoin is still consolidating around the $9,300 level. Aside from a brief dip below $9,100 yesterday there has been no attempt to break out of this channel. Spending some time on crypto twitter you get the impression that some would actually revel in a massive collapse of digital assets. Peter Schiff is one of those characters that appear to post just to get a reaction, and he usually does. He almost changed stance on crypto last week but is back on the attack again. His latest comments are still suggesting that the entire Bitcoin market i
