Margehandelaren op Kraken zijn woedend nadat een flash-crash tot grote liquidaties leidde terwijl de beurs niet toegankelijk was voor gebruikers.

Kraken-gebruikers eisen compensatie nadat gewelddadige flash-crashes gelokaliseerd op de beurs hebben geleid tot het liquideren van leveraged-transacties te midden van de scherpe terugtrekkingen die op 22 februari op de cryptomarkten zijn opgetekend

22 februari zag de grootste dagelijkse kaars in de geschiedenis van zowel Bitcoin Era als Ether ( ETH ) op lineaire waarde, waarbij BTC rond $ 9.500 daalde van $ 57.500, terwijl ETH met $ 400 kelderde van $ 1.940 binnen een tijdsbestek van 24 uur op Coinbase .

Het lijkt er echter op dat een combinatie van zwakke koopondersteuning en trapsgewijze liquidaties resulteerde in bijzonder zware verliezen op Kraken – waarbij BTC met 22% daalde tot minder dan $ 45.000, terwijl ETH 64% daalde om ondersteuning te vinden voor slechts $ 700.

Door de publieke reactie op subreddit r / Krakensupport hebben veel handelaren hun frustraties geuit. Sommige handelaren dreigen zelfs juridische stappen te ondernemen tegen de uitwisseling, waarbij Reddit-gebruiker u / dtk6802 beweert het grootste deel van hun spaargeld te hebben verloren tijdens de flash-crash:

‚Ik ben het grootste deel van mijn spaargeld kwijtgeraakt en heb geen antwoord gekregen van een mens. Ik zou denken dat ze zouden terugbetalen of dat ze al hun klanten zouden verliezen. Ik ben ziek van mijn maag, maar zal meedoen aan de rechtszaak met voldoende bewijs (screenshots) als ik niet word terugbetaald. “

De gevolgen lijken echter voor sommigen verder te zijn gegaan dan verliezen en in schulden, waarbij Reddit-gebruiker u / GoEers304 die hun saldo claimt, aangeeft dat ze nu Kraken-geld verschuldigd zijn als gevolg van de flash-crash.

“Op de een of andere manier ben ik ze nu 120 dollar schuldig. Hoe wordt een account negatief? Ik had genoeg marge om alle andere platformdalingen te dekken, maar wie kan een nepdaling van 90 procent dekken? “ ze zeiden.

Ondanks oproepen tot compensatie voor de flash-crashes van Kraken’s gebruikers, suggereert commentaar op sociale media dat de beurs handelaren niet zal terugbetalen voor hun verliezen

Ter bescherming tegen groothandelsliquidaties in het geval van plotselinge en gelokaliseerde flash-crashes, gebruiken veel cryptoderivatenplatforms al lang een indexprijs om margestortingen te bepalen.

Terwijl andere platforms op dezelfde manier te kampen hadden met scherpe flitscrashes, waarbij Ether in het bijzonder op Nexo viel, heeft het handelsplatform op Twitter aangegeven dat ze gebruikers zullen terugbetalen voor verliezen die tijdens de dip zijn geleden:

Liquidaties zijn niet zeldzaam geweest te midden van de recente volatiliteit van de cryptoprijzen. Op 15 februari veroorzaakte een daling van ongeveer 11% in de prijs van Ether $ 1,89 miljard aan liquidaties op de bredere cryptomarkten. Het merendeel van de liquidaties vond plaats op Binance, waarbij $ 336 miljoen aan Ether en $ 55 miljoen aan BTC van het saldo van de gebruikers werd gewist.

BitTorrent (BTT), the decentralized protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), has grown enormously in the last 24 hours. The Reddit group r / SatoshiStreetBets is said to be responsible for the extreme price increase.

With BitTorrent, users can exchange data decentrally via the Internet

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron (TRX), bought the project in 2018 and changed some things. Since then, the cryptocurrency BTT has been the focus of the platform and Crypto Engine platform owners enjoy many advantages. For example, they can download faster and receive BTT as a reward for providing data.

On the morning of yesterday February 9, the price of the crypto project surprisingly rose by more than 129 percent. At press time , the BTT price is at $ 0.001339 .

Many investors then wondered what the reason for the rapid price increase was. It appears that the Reddit group r / SatoshiStreetBets is behind the BTT Pump, which has already been involved in the pumps from Ripple (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) .

Reddit group rushes on BTT

Since yesterday evening BTT has been in the sights of the Reddit group r / SatoshiStreetBets . Similar to DOGE and XRP, there are extremely many coins at BTT, which means that the price of the cryptocurrency is very low. This makes it very attractive, especially for inexperienced investors, as these coins often simply buy because of an apparently low price. The Reddit group is currently relying on this fact and several users called on the community to pump BitTorrent .

In addition, not only BitTorrent benefited from this event, but also Tron and the casino coin Wink (WIN) , which is also part of the Tron ecosystem. At the time of going to press, both cryptocurrencies were posting double-digit price increases.

Tesla arrecadou 1,5 bilhões de dólares de Bitcoin.

O fabricante de automóveis E-carro Tesla adquiriu $1,5 bilhões de dólares de Bitcoin, de acordo com seu arquivo SEC datado de 8 de fevereiro, tornando-se a primeira empresa S&P 500 a investir na moeda criptográfica.

A Tesla alega que pode diversificar suas reservas investindo uma parte de seu dinheiro em ativos digitais, ouro e fundos de câmbio garantidos por ouro (ETFs):

„Em janeiro de 2021, atualizamos nossa política de investimentos para nos proporcionar mais flexibilidade para diversificar ainda mais e maximizar o retorno de nosso caixa que não é necessário para manter uma liquidez operacional adequada. Como parte da política, que foi devidamente aprovada pelo Comitê de Auditoria de nosso Conselho de Administração, podemos investir uma parte desse dinheiro em certos ativos de reserva alternativos, incluindo ativos digitais, ouro em barras, fundos negociados em bolsa e outros ativos, conforme especificado no futuro. Posteriormente, investimos um total de US$1,50 bilhões em bitcoin sob esta política e podemos adquirir e manter ativos digitais de tempos em tempos ou a longo prazo.

Tesla para aceitar o Bitcoin

Além de adicionar Bitcoin a sua tesouraria, Tesla também começará a aceitar as moedas criptográficas como forma de pagamento:

Além disso, esperamos começar a aceitar a bitcoin como forma de pagamento de nossos produtos num futuro próximo, sujeito às leis aplicáveis e inicialmente de forma limitada, que podemos ou não liquidar no recebimento.

No início deste mês, o CEO da Tesla, Elon Musk, mencionou que a maior moeda criptográfica estava à beira de atingir a adoção generalizada:

Acho que o bitcoin está à beira de obter ampla aceitação por parte dos financiadores convencionais.

Tesla empurra Bitcoin para um novo recorde

A Bitcoin atingiu um novo recorde histórico, atingindo um pico de $42.500 na troca da Bitstamp no anúncio. Mais tarde, a moeda criptográfica ampliou seus ganhos e subiu para mais um pico de 43.730 dólares às 13h02 UTC.

SkyBridge Capital, det globale investeringsselskapet ledet av Anthony Scaramucci, den tidligere kommunikasjonsdirektøren i det hvite hus, gjør runder for lanseringen av det nye Bitcoin-fondet, som allerede har rapportert å eksponere $ 310 millioner dollar eksponering for Bitcoin, som selskapet har påpekt i en presse. utgivelse. Dette er en rask oppfølging fra lanseringen av de tidligere fondene. Skybridges investering på tvers av Bitcoin-investeringsfond var i utgangspunktet 182 millioner dollar, men med den nye lanseringen vil tallene sikkert gå høyere.

Depotmottakerens rolle vil bli tatt opp av Fidelity, mens Ernst & Young har ansvaret for fondsrevisjon. Skybridge er en del av de ledende tradisjonelle finansinstitusjonene som tar sjansen på Bitcoin gjennom Bitcoin-produktlansering. Interesserte investorer får luksusen av sikkerhet. Minimumsinvesteringen for fondet starter på $ 50.000.

Mens firmaet ser ut til å utvide seg i Bitcoin-adopsjon, avslørte lederen Scaramucci at i motsetning til sine jevnaldrende, har han vært en tvilende Thomas og er ennå ikke all-in med Bitcoin. „Jeg er fordomsfri om bitcoin. Det er massevis av bitcoin-evangelister, og jeg har vært mer motvillig kjøper, sier han. Selv om han sier til CNN at “dette er digitalt gull og det er lettere å overføre. Vi elsker knappheten på bitcoin. Dette er en bærbar og moderne måte å lagre kapital på, ”forklarer Scaramucci at han frykter at den ustabile tilstanden til den ledende valutaen kan føre til et enormt tap for investorer. For å sitere ham; “Dette kan være en oppblåsbar toppboble. Vi forventer at fondet er ustabilt og at det kan tape penger. ” Imidlertid hevder han at Bitcoins struktur absorberer den av regjeringens politikk, og kan være gunstig for monumentale penger.

Som han sier;

“Jo mer sannsynlig banen er at folk kan tjene en monumental sum penger. Bitcoin er uhindret av Federal Reserve-politikk eller gullforsyningsproblemer, det er mer etterspørsel etter bitcoin nå enn tilbud. Prisen skal gå opp. ”

Tilstrømningen av institusjonelle investorer har hatt stor innvirkning på å øke adopsjonen. Scaramucci krediterer Micheal Saylor fra Microstrategy, hvis firma for øyeblikket eier mer enn 1,5 milliarder dollar i Bitcoin sammen med Stanley Druckenmiller og Paul Tudor Jones, hvis Bitcoin-beholdning hjalp ham med å holde et åpent sinn.

Han legger til at inngangen til betalingsgiganter som PayPal og Jack Dorsey’s Square i Bitcoin-markedet har bidratt til å øke prisen på Bitcoin. Scaramuccis kommentarer reflekterer den spirende institusjonelle interessen for Bitcoin.

The year 2021 is off to a good start for Bitcoin (BTC), which has just crossed $ 30,000. After setting a new all-time high above $ 20,000, Bitcoin’s bullish push does not stop.

Bitcoin (BTC) exceeds $ 30,000

The new year begins on the hats of wheels for the price of Bitcoin Era. The queen of cryptocurrencies has just surpassed $ 30,000 , a real performance that comes just two weeks after she broke her previous all-time high of $ 20,000 .

Volumes on platforms are reaching new heights, institutions continue to pour in massively, confidence in Bitcoin has never been so high, all of these factors which have pushed Bitcoin towards this colossal value.

From a fundamental point of view, Bitcoin has never been in such conditions . Almost everything has been in its favor for several months, which has generated a constant increase in demand, and therefore in price.

The last days of 2020 were particularly prolific for Bitcoin, where it closed each new day with a rise in the range of $ 500 to $ 1,000 . Little by little, Bitcoin has grappled the levels, until reaching the symbolic bar of 30,000 dollars.

In just 17 days, Bitcoin therefore shows a performance of more than 50% on the rise , from 20,000 to 30,000 dollars. Its total capitalization even reaches 560 billion dollars :

A future correction?

Either way, this rapid rise in Bitcoin is not very healthy . Many analysts point out that a consolidation of the price of Bitcoin is necessary for the uptrend to continue, and for the subsequent correction not to be too severe.

This move above $ 30,000 is therefore accompanied by uncertainty. Is Bitcoin poised to retreat in a brutal way? This bullish situation is particularly extreme, which requires us to remain cautious.

The dominance of the cryptocurrency queen is peaking and approaching the resistance of 73% . At the time of writing, it is around 72%, a metric that must be kept in mind and which could trigger a single pullback in Bitcoin.

As we indicated in our technical analysis of December 28, the current rise in Bitcoin is excessive . We are indeed in a bull-run , but the price of an asset never goes up in a straight line indefinitely. The greater the impulse phase, the more the correction phase can be in return .

Since Bitcoin has been in the price discovery phase since it crossed above $ 20,000, no tangible support can be used as a reference in the event of a correction. The closest support is $ 20,000 , Bitcoin’s former all time high .

To participate in the draw followers must post their CashApp addresses in the comments with the hashtag #BITCOINMEG

Rap star Megan Thee Stallion went on Twitter to offer her 5 million followers $1 million in Bitcoin. The cryptomime community is already quite used to celebrities quoting the digital currency, but the American rapper took things to a whole new level by announcing the partnership with Twitter.

The winner of the Apple Music Awards Best New Artist Award for 2020 is at the top of the U.S. charts this year, leading radios around the world with the song „Savage. Now she has decided to give attention to Bitcoin, and through a partnership with Square’s digital payment application Cash App, she will distribute $ 1 million in Bitcoin (R$ 5 million) through Twitter.

Square is a company of the Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, one of the biggest Bitcoin enthusiasts and defenders. He was excited about the campaign by retweeting the rap star’s post.

In a series of tweetings the rapper star says that Bitcoin „tends to value over time,“ encouraging people to make „smart moves with money.

„Bitcoin is a very smart investment and increases with time“.

To participate in the raffle followers must post their CashApp addresses in the comments with the hashtag #BITCOINMEG, where she announced that she would distribute Bitcoin for „as many tastes as she could“.

This year the rapper reached the peak of fame and received several Grammy nominations. Her tuite has already received more than 170,000 comments from people who want to win Bitcoins.

Jack Dorsey’s said his Cash App raised $1.63 billion „bitcoin revenue“, and „$32 million gross profit with bitcoin“ in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. The company told the SEC that the figures represented annual increases of „approximately 15 times.

Despite the move, some cryptomime advocates criticized the rapper asking how much the star really knows about the digital currency.

„Has she read the whitepaper?“

Meanwhile, the CEO of the largest U.S. brokerage house has alerted investors who may be focusing on short-term speculation and encouraged users to seek resources and consult help to better understand the risks associated with investing in crypto currency.

It’s nothing new that famous rappers have an interest in cryptomotic. In 2018, 50 Cent accidentally discovered a $8 million stock in Bitcoin and Eminem created a song about how everyone was „getting into Bitcoin“ on their album „Kamikaze“.
