Rockstar Gene Simmons Betting on Crypto Asset Cardano – Here’s Why

BY

Kiss bassist Gene Simmons is making a large bet on the sixth largest crypto by market cap.

In a new tweet, the famed musician tells his 940,500 followers that he purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Cardano (ADA).

“I just bought $300,000 of Cardano (ADA). I’m not a financial analyst and I’m not telling you to buy or not to buy. Simply letting you know what I am doing and what I believe in. Why? Because I believe it’s going up… and it’s always up to you to research & decide.

Why did I buy Cardano (ADA)? Well, for one thing, it’s affordable to almost everyone. It’s pennies compared to my other holdings like Bitcoin, which is over $50,000 a single coin. I believe everyone should be able to afford cryptocurrency. And here is one I believe in.”

Simmons says he also believes in the project because it is backed by one of the Ethereum co-founders, Charles Hoskinson.

At the time of Simmons’ tweets, ADA was sitting at around $0.90 cents, but it has since skyrocketed to a new 52-week high of $1.09.

Earlier this month, the rock icon revealed that he owns or plans to own three large-cap crypto assets.

“I’m not recommending any of this to anyone. But yes, I bought and/or will own Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and others.”

As for his BTC holdings, Simmons says he invested millions of dollars in the leading crypto asset.

“Bitcoin I bought seven-figure months ago. It’s been very good to me. Do I believe it’s going even higher than the recent record breaking surges? You bet!”

Bitcoin skeptic debates Bloomberg analyst in latest Cointelegraph Crypto Duel

BY

In a recent video debate, Bitcoin skeptic Frances Coppola debated Bloomberg senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone on the economics of Bitcoin, market manipulation and predictions for 2021. 

Coppola is skeptical that Bitcoin will ever succeed as a store of value because of its high volatility which, according to her, is a direct consequence of the asset’s fixed supply rate.

“With a fixed rate of increase of supply (…) the only thing that can adjust to changes in demand is price”, she explained. Demand fluctuations mean Bitcoin’s volatility is here to stay.

McGlone, on the other hand, thinks that the fixed supply of Bitcoin will lead the volatility to decline over time.

“The simple rules of markets is you have supply and demand. Both are uncertain. That’s what creates volatility”, he explained. “If you have a certain supply schedule, that means 50 percent of that input for volatility is already gone (…) So, by…

Elon Musk says BTC, ETH prices “high” while dunking on Peter Schiff

BY

While his electric car company announced a Bitcoin purchase weeks ago, Elon Musk finally became a true Bitcoiner last night by engaging in a time-honored cryptoTwitter pastime: dunking on Peter Schiff. 

Yesterday morning Schiff, the noted gold bug and Bitcoin skeptic, posted a Tweet thread in which he criticized Elon Musk’s comment that Bitcoin is a flawed currency, though still better than fiat alternatives:

Schiff noted that, “as an engineer” the Tesla founder should know the difference between a “tangible element” and a “string…

Bitcoin price must now hold above these levels to break $60K

BY

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has been consistently rallying in the past few weeks, reaching its latest new high of around $57,500 on Feb. 20.

The week has seen more bullish news such as the first German-listed company allocating its cash reserves to BTC as well as the launch of the first Bitcoin ETF in Canada, which traded over $220 million in its debut. 

Such news is fueling the price of Bitcoin, while Elon Musk has also embraced the latest “laser eye” meme to the joy of hodlers who are itching for a $100,000 BTC price. However, the next major point of interest is at around $63,000, and this could be reached relatively soon if Bitcoin can hold above a few key support levels.

NFT market top signal? Fake Banksy nets over $1 million in ETH from NFT sales

BY

As the Crypto Twitter community debates the fair value of Cryptopunks and other NFTs rising to sky-high valuations, there’s at least one clear sign of the digital collectibles market growing irrational: An individual posing as Banksy, perhaps the most famous living artist, has netted over $1 million in Ether (ETH) in NFT sales. 

Starting on Sunday, Feb. 14, frequent browsers of the NFT marketplaces Opensea and Rarible noticed an account named “Pest Supply” with branding and nonfungible tokens made in Banksy’s signature graffiti-stencil style. Many were quick to jump in, given the “real” Banksy’s habit for pop-up installations:

Wallet profiler Nansen shows that the individual’s listed address first became active…

BNB price surges as Binance Smart Chain grows in popularity with DeFi

BY

Binance Coin (BNB) has been on an absolute tear in the month of February. It traded at $48.93 on Feb. 1 and grew to trade at $304 at the time of publication, amounting to a 521% month-to-date gain and 707% year-to-date gain.

This price rally has led BNB to become the third-largest cryptocurrency, with a $46.5 billion market capitalization. BNB achieved its all-time high of $342.88 on Feb. 19. This price rally and leap in market capitalization could be attributed to Binance Smart Chain gaining popularity within decentralized finance markets and other macroeconomic factors driving the growth of flagship assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) to new all-time highs this week.

While Ether price was rallying to it’s all time highs on Feb. 19, Binance announced on Twitter that they have “ temporarily suspended” withdrawals of Ether and all Ethereum based tokens due…

The perils of a decentralized web living in the centralized world

BY

On Jan. 26, the internet came to a screeching halt along much of the East Coast. Email services went down; YouTube videos flickered out midstream; millions were likely affected, if only temporarily. But the outage, attributed to a surge in traffic, underscores the metastasizing vulnerabilities surrounding the way most of the world conducts commerce, consumes entertainment and communicates.

The implications of such outages should be seen as particularly alarming for those in cryptoland: namely, for the ever-growing numbers of participants in an emerging decentralized ecosystem for transferring peer-to-peer value with Bitcoin (BTC) who build smart contracts on Ethereum or launch any number of platforms and tokens that perform untold numbers of functions and services.

Indeed, such outages highlight a serious challenge to building the hoped-for future of a decentralized web that is more secure, reliable and safer.
