Bitcoin on tehnyt sen taas – jälleen yksi mieli on muuttunut parempaan suuntaan, tällä kertaa norjalaisen miljardöörin toimesta.
Aiemmin maaliskuussa hän kutsui bitcoinia „hölynpölyksi“ ja kritisoi sen energiankulutustasoa. Muutamaa viikkoa myöhemmin norjalainen miljardööri Øystein Stray Spetalen sanoi olleensa väärässä kaikkien aikojen ensimmäisen kryptovaluutan suhteen ja jopa osti sitä itselleen.
Maaliskuun alussa: Bitcoin on hölynpölyä
58-vuotias Spetalen on SD Standard Drilling Plc:n ja Standard Drilling ASA:n perustaja. Hän on tunnettu sijoittaja ja kauppias, joka aloitti kaupankäyntiuransa yhdeksännellä luokalla.
Maaliskuun alussa pidetyssä DNB Investin konferenssissa hän puhui talouden nykyisestä makrotilasta ja käsitteli myös bitcoinin ja muiden digitaalisten varojen laajenevaa trendiä. Hänellä ei kuitenkaan ollut mitään hyvää sanottavaa kryptoalasta ja erityisesti BTC:stä:
„Ainoa asia, josta olen tehnyt analyysin, on se, että bitcoin kuluttaa nykyään yhtä paljon energiaa kuin koko Norjan energiankulutus. Se on äärimmäisen ympäristöystävällistä. Jos bitcoinista todella tarkoitettaisiin jotain, viranomaisten ja EU:n pitäisi kieltää se välittömästi. Silloin hiilidioksidipäästöt vähenisivät huomattavasti.“
Hän meni vielä pidemmälle ja kutsui bitcoinia „hölynpölyksi“. Hän väitti, että nykyiset maksu- ja rahoitusjärjestelmät toimivat asianmukaisesti, eivätkä ne tarvitse BTC:n ja kryptovaluuttojen lupaamaa mullistavaa muutosta.
Kritisoidessaan BTC:n energiankulutustasoa Spetalen liittyi muiden, kuten Microsoftin toisen perustajan Bill Gatesin, joukkoon.
Maaliskuun lopulla: Spalenen: Olin väärässä; ostin BTC:tä
Pian pitämänsä puheen jälkeen Spetalen kertoi tavanneensa paikallisen kryptopörssin – Miraeixin – perustajat. He selittivät yksityiskohtaisesti, mikä on bitcoin, miten se toimii ja sen erot perinteiseen rahoituskenttään, mihin hän „tajusi, että olin ollut väärässä“.
Lisäksi hän tunsi jonkin verran kilpailua ja ehkä FOMO:ta, sillä toinen norjalainen miljardööri liikemies, Kjell Inge Rokke, oli juuri perustanut BTC:hen sijoittamiseen keskittyvän yksikön yrityksensä – Aker ASA:n – kautta.
Spetalen totesi, että hän näki Rokken bitcoin-tulon ja lisäsi, että hän „ei voi sietää sitä, että Rokke tekee rahaa, enkä minä“.
Lopulta entinen BTC-basher liittyi Miraeixin hallitukseen ja osti bitcoineja yksityisesti.
Kannattaa huomata, että kaikkien aikojen ensimmäinen kryptovaluutta on jo tottunut muuttamaan ihmisten mielipiteitä. Aiempia esimerkkejä ovat muun muassa MicroStrategyn Michael Saylor, CNBC:n Jim Cramer, niin sanottu Wall Streetin susi Jordan Belfort ja monet muut. Näissä tapauksissa BTC:llä kesti kuitenkin vuosia muuttaa mielipiteitä, kun taas Spetalenin kohdalla kyse oli vain muutamasta viikosta.

Some Russian officials will be forced to sell their crypto by April 2021
A new law is forcing some Russian officials to go public with their cryptocurrency investments, while others will have to liquidate them altogether
In January, Russia adopted its cryptocurrency law, but this legislation does not provide a straightforward answer to some questions, including how local officials Bitcoin Circuit should manage their digital assets. In fact, there are at least two other bills that require Russian civil servants to declare or even get rid of their cryptos altogether.
On 10 December 2020, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree requiring certain officials to make their cryptocurrencies public by 30 June. The decree was adopted as part of the „On Digital Financial Assets“ law, or DFA, which came into force on 1 January.
According to the decree, Russian officials or individuals who intend to hold public office must disclose their digital assets, as well as those of their spouses and children. The law aims to ensure that public administrators are subject to the same financial reporting rules as ordinary citizens.
But there is also another regulation that bans some Russian officials from owning any cryptocurrency, in line with the country’s anti-corruption measures. On 28 December 2020, the Russian Ministry of Labour and Social Protection published an information letter reminding certain officials that they are obliged to liquidate all their crypto assets by 1 April, regardless of the country of issue.
Executives and their deputies
This rule specifically refers to individuals listed in Part 1 of Article 2 of Russian Federal Law No. 79-FL of 7 May 2013, which prohibits certain categories from keeping their funds abroad and using foreign financial products. The list includes a large number of important public officials: executives and their deputies, members of the board of directors of the Russian Central Bank and public companies owned by the Russian Federation, heads of district administrations and several others.
In the letter, the ministry mentioned that other categories of civil servants are not subject to these restrictions, although they still have to report their digital assets to comply with the decree signed by Putin.
While Russian authorities continue to introduce new rules regarding cryptocurrencies for civil servants, it is not immediately clear how compliance will be handled from a technological perspective. Artem Grigoriev, head of the research lab at the Russian Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Association, told Cointelegraph:
„There is no law on the circulation of cryptocurrencies yet. The authors of this initiative probably have their own views on the implementation of these rules. Practice will show that.“
Maria Stankevich, a member of the Russian Committee for Blockchain Technology and Cryptoeconomics, also questioned the technological and legal feasibility of these rules:
„The restrictions imposed on certain sections of the establishment regarding the ownership of digital assets are actually a logical move in an attempt to stop corruption. […] This is a clear signal to all officials: the government now has another lever to show its power when needed. However, the main question is how they will monitor the application of this rule, since there is no law or process in this area.“

Après le lancement du réseau principal, Stacks continue de se développer : plusieurs partenariats annoncés
Stacks a annoncé qu’elle avait conclu des accords de partenariat avec Foundry Digital et Blockdaemon
Stacks, un réseau ouvert de contrats intelligents et de ponts DeFi pour Bitcoin (BTC), a forgé plusieurs partenariats importants dans le sillage du lancement de son réseau principal : cela montre bien la volonté des acteurs du secteur de soutenir de nouveaux cas d’utilisation de la CTB.
Le réseau principal Stacks 2.0 a été officiellement lancé jeudi, dans le but de développer de nouveaux cas d’utilisation de la CTB basés sur le langage de contrat intelligent Clarity. Comme le rapporte Cointelegraph, Stacks 2.0 cherche à étendre l’utilité de Bitcoin au-delà de la réserve de Bitcoin Rush valeur pour inclure la finance décentralisée et les contrats intelligents.
Foundry Digital, une société du Digital Currency Group, a annoncé qu’elle fournira des services d’extraction pour le STX, la cryptocarte de l’écosystème des piles. Foundry a déclaré que cette décision représente „un signal clair aux mineurs : l’exploitation de STX est une opportunité“.
Foundry a été l’une des nombreuses sociétés minières indépendantes à collaborer au lancement de Stacks 2.0. Blockdaemon, une plate-forme d’infrastructure de chaîne de blocs, a également annoncé l’intégration avec Stacks 2.0 : cela permettra aux institutions et aux investisseurs de devenir des opérateurs de nœuds.
a déclaré Konstantin Richter, PDG de Blockdaemon :
„Nous assistons actuellement à un niveau d’investissement institutionnel sans précédent dans le monde de la cryptographie, ce qui démontre la nécessité d’une infrastructure de niveau entreprise pour connecter et dimensionner les réseaux à chaînes de blocs“.
Quant à Stack 2.0, il a ajouté
„Nous sommes tout à fait d’accord avec la vision de la construction du Web 3.0, et nous attendons avec impatience que le réseau soit capable de fournir aux utilisateurs un Internet véritablement décentralisé qui leur appartienne“.
Stacks 2.0 est basé sur un algorithme consensuel de preuve de transfert (PoX). Le nouveau système minier utilise la preuve du travail pour créer de nouvelles chaînes de blocs. Le co-fondateur de Stacks, Muneeb Ali, a déclaré que le PoX peut encourager la participation au réseau en offrant des récompenses Bitcoin, ce qui n’était pas possible avant la conception du protocole.

Los nodos Bitcoin anonimos habilitados para Tor normalmente constituyen hasta un 25% de los nodos Bitcoin totalmente alcanzables.
Según los últimos datos del recurso de monitorización de nodos Bitnodes, los nodos Bitcoin (BTC) habilitados para Tor han vuelto a la normalidad después de una caída casi total a principios de enero de 2021. Hasta el 13 de enero, el número de nodos BTC basados en Tor alcanzables ascendía a 2.581, frente a los 122 nodos del 9 de enero.
Basándose en los datos de Bitnodes, los nodos Bitcoin basados en Tor constituyen una parte significativa de la red de Bitcoin, y normalmente representan alrededor del 25% de los nodos en ejecución totalmente alcanzables. Según los últimos datos registrados, los nodos basados en Tor constituían más del 23% del total de nodos BTC el 13 de enero.
Según Bitnodes, el número actual de nodos de Bitcoin asciende a 11.190 nodos, frente a los 8.300 del 7 de enero.
La red Bitcoin (BTC) se ha ido recuperando constantemente en términos de ejecución de nodos BTC después de una importante interrupción en la red Tor.
Número de nodos Bitcoin alcanzables en los últimos 90 días.
Un nodo Bitcoin es un ordenador conectado a otros ordenadores para alojar y sincronizar una copia de toda la cadena de bloques de Bitcoin y, esencialmente, mantener toda la red en funcionamiento. Los nodos Bitcoin basados en Tor son un tipo de nodo implementado de forma privada utilizando la red anónima Tor.
La última caída de los nodos BTC basados en Tor es probable que sea causada por una reciente caída de la red Tor.
El 10 de enero, el Proyecto Tor anunció oficialmente que la red Tor estaba experimentando inestabilidad debido a un fallo de implementación en su servicio de cebolla v3. La agencia de noticias TechNadu, enfocada en la tecnología, reportó que el apagón probablemente se debió a un ataque de hackers.
Los tiempos de inactividad en la red Tor afectaron posteriormente a un gran número de sitios web habilitados para Tor o los llamados „onion“, incluyendo carteras privadas de Bitcoin e intercambios como Wasabi y Bisq. El 11 de enero, Wasabi informó que logró mantener sus servicios intactos utilizando un sistema de respaldo. „Si el servicio de cebolla Tor del backend no está disponible para el usuario, la billetera se vuelve a comunicar con el punto final de la red de backend, todavía sobre Tor“, escribió Wasabi.

Bill Miller – en verdiinvestor – er en av bare mange som ser ut til å ha endret melodi på bitcoin . Det pleide å være at bitcoin var en ekstremt bekymringsfull, potensielt til og med farlig ressurs å investere i gitt hvor flyktig den var. Det pleide å være at bitcoin var en valuta som var mye sårbar for påvirkning utenfor markedet, og som lett kunne manipuleres.
Bill Miller på Bitcoin – Når det blir større, går risikoen ned
Imidlertid har Miller sagt at hver gang bitcoin strever etter en større pris , forsvinner noe av denne risikoen. Han sier at så lenge bitcoin fortsetter å bevege seg opp den økonomiske stigen, blir det mindre og mindre farlig for hverdagshandlere.
I et nylig intervju kommenterte han:
Det blir mindre risiko jo høyere det går. Det er det motsatte av det som skjer med de fleste aksjer. Bitcoins totale tilbud vokser mindre enn to prosent i året, og det er åpenbart av prisen at etterspørselen vokser mye, mye raskere enn det. Så lenge det oppnås, vil bitcoin sannsynligvis gå høyere og kanskje betydelig høyere.
I skrivende stund handler bitcoin over $ 40 000 for andre gang denne måneden. Det ser ut til at de bullish trendene eiendelen har hatt det siste halvåret kommer til å fortsette, noe som betyr at enda mindre risiko vil være forbundet med den valutaen Millers ord gir.
Som grunnlegger og administrerende direktør i Miller Value Partners forklarte han videre at selv om han ikke kan forutsi nøyaktig hvor BTC vil være i de kommende ukene eller månedene, har han ideer om hvor det kan gå og hvor høyt det kan komme. Han forklarte:
Jeg tror at bitcoin … sannsynligvis burde være oppe 50 prosent til 100 prosent herfra i løpet av de neste 12 til 18 månedene, og hvis du skulle spørre meg om eller under, ville jeg absolutt si at det ville være mye mer sannsynlig Nedre.
Vær oppmerksom på flyktighet
Imidlertid sa han videre at mens bitcoin har vært ganske solid for sent, er volatilitet ikke en saga blott, og investorer må være forsiktige, ettersom dette fremdeles er en gyldig trussel som kan bringe bitcoin – eller hvilken som helst form ned. av krypto – når som helst. Han nevnte:
Jeg tror at hvis du ikke kan ta det, bør du sannsynligvis ikke eie bitcoin. Eiendelen har en tendens til å bevege seg i spurter, som har en tendens til å bli fulgt av korreksjoner. Jeg tror det har vært tre korreksjoner på 80 prosent, noe som er normalt i denne typen ganske tidlig teknologi med et ganske stort totalt adresserbart marked.
Miller har eid bitcoin i årevis, og hevdet først i et intervju med CNBC i 2018 at han hadde begynt å kjøpe enheter omtrent tre eller fire år tidligere. Siden begynnelsen av september har bitcoin lagt til rundt 230 prosent i prisen.

Compulsive crypto-trading? – The year 2021 begins under the best omens for the cryptosphere, a real season of broken records. After Bitcoin’s new all-time high against the dollar, then its capitalization record even surpassing Visa, the entire crypto market is on fire.
The speculative madness of late 2017, from ancient history?
The crypto sector has been booming since the price of Bitcoin Victory (BTC) literally exploded its former record of 20,000 dollars. Yes, it has! Cryptos trading volumes have never been as high as they are today.
According to the crypto-media company The Block, the top 20 trading platforms saw no less than $379 billion in crypto-actives change hands in December 2020 alone.
The previous record, with $307 billion in exchange volumes, was thus far surpassed. It had been reached twice, in December 2017 and January 2018, at the height of the euphoria of the last bull market.
Cryptos trading venues continue to be dominated by the Binance platform, which alone accounts for nearly 58% market share (approximately $220 billion in December).
Another interesting fact shown in this graph is that January 2021 looks very promising. Indeed, in just 5 days, trading volumes have already reached $108.8 billion.
Will this first month of the year already see a new record replace the one just achieved? Be careful not to get too attached to the records in the cryptosphere in 2021, because they may fall in a domino effect!

Raoul Pal dice que los inversores institucionales se están preparando para invertir masivamente en Bitcoin.
Agregó que estas instituciones habían impulsado la demanda de la moneda más allá del nivel de oferta
En una entrevista reciente con Bostjan Usenik, Raoul Pal, un importante inversor de Bitcoin y cofundador de Real Vision, ha dicho que más inversores institucionales ahora están listos para comprar el principal criptoactivo.
Pal señaló que todas las instituciones con las que ha hablado habían mostrado un nivel de preparación para comprar Bitcoin System. Agregó que la aprobación de un ETF de BTC también contribuiría en gran medida a cambiar la forma en que opera la industria.
Según Pal, Bitcoin es un activo que nunca antes se había visto en la historia de la industria financiera. Y en los últimos cinco a diez años, la moneda ha demostrado su valía para estar entre los activos de mejor rendimiento.
El cofundador de Real Vision dijo además que „las instituciones aún no se han introducido completamente en el mundo de las criptomonedas“. Él cree que cuando finalmente lo hagan, será enorme para el activo de rápido movimiento.
Los inversores institucionales en Bitcoin impulsan la demanda más allá del nivel de oferta
Raoul Pal también le dijo a Bostjan que la demanda de Bitcoin por parte de instituciones como PayPal, CashApp, Grayscale y otras no está siendo satisfecha por el nivel actual de oferta del activo.
El ex administrador de fondos de Goldman Sachs dice que estas instituciones están acumulando sus monedas porque también esperan que el precio del activo siga aumentando. Esto ha llevado a que casi no haya suministro de la moneda; en cambio, las demandas siguen aumentando.
PayPal recientemente permitió a sus usuarios en los Estados Unidos poder comprar Bitcoin a través de su plataforma. Grayscale, por otro lado, tiene uno de los fideicomisos más grandes de BTC. La firma posee actualmente más de $ 10 mil millones del activo digital.
Instituciones como MicroStrategy, Mass Mutual Insurance Company y otras también poseen miles de criptoactivos.

Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) posted strong increases as Bitcoin (BTC) set a new record at $23,800.
Many analysts argue that the rise of large-cap altcoins is directly related to Bitcoin’s price action. Historical data shows that these two tend to move in parallel over the course of BTC’s bullish and bearish cycles.
Signs of newfound momentum in altcoins bring greater confidence among traders in the strength of Bitcoin’s trend.
During the month of December, altcoins remained static relative to Bitcoin System, especially as BTC attempted to break out of the range between $18,000 and $19,400. However, this phase was characterized by low volume.
At that time, volume in the crypto market was declining, mainly due to Bitcoin’s continued rejection at $19,400. Thus, most of the volume moved into BTC and the altcoin market was temporarily deprived of its usual activity.
Bitcoin above $20,000 has rekindled interest in Litecoin and Dogecoin
Historically, altcoins that were born between 2011 and 2014 tend to rise following a strong positive movement in Bitcoin. These cryptocurrencies include Litecoin, Dogecoin, and XRP.
One of the main reasons behind the altcoin rally is volume. Traders often flock to altcoins, causing a spike in volume in a short period and causing huge volatility.
Because these cryptocurrencies have significant historical relevance, after the start of a rally their momentum usually lasts longer than other lesser-known small-cap altcoins.
Litecoin, for example, is up 57% in the past 7 days. In the same period, Bitcoin has gained 34%, even though it has surpassed $23,800 on major exchanges.
Analysts have identified a positive trend: altcoins are not seeing extreme volatility as they did in 2017. A pseudonymous trader known as MoonOverlord commented:
„One thing that never occurred in this uptrend was the panicked selling of altcoins every time $BTC moved 5%. In 2017, in an instant altcoins would plummet -25% during a 4% increase in BTC, it was terrible. Tether and stablecoins didn’t even exist so the only options were BTC or altcoins.“
Are the fundamentals supporting the current uptrend?
According to Qiao Wang, quant trader and DeFi researcher, Litecoin is not necessarily ‚digital silver‘ in the same way that analysts consider Bitcoin ‚digital gold‘.
Since its launch, the primary argument for Litecoin was its potential role as silver should Bitcoin become gold 2.0. Wang explained:
„If you’re new to crypto, you’ve bought BTC and you’re wondering what crypto asset represents silver if Bitcoin is gold: it’s not LTC, it’s ETH. The other day Paul Tudor Jones used an interesting analogy taken from the world of metals to categorize crypto assets. There are precious cryptos and there are industrial cryptos: BTC is precious, ETH is industrial. LTC is neither.“
Litecoin has strong fundamentals that could improve market sentiment. For example, the Litecoin team is in the process of activating MimbleWimble, a privacy solution originally designed for Bitcoin.
However, these fundamentals are not enough to sustain a 57% rise within a week. The main reason for the sudden rally in large-cap altcoins is likely a volume strategy put in place by high net worth investors and traders looking for quick gains after Bitcoin’s rise.

The protocol itself is secure, but the founder has lost all of his tokens, which total 6 percent of the amount in circulation.
A hacker stole $ 8 million from the private wallet of Hugh Karp, CEO of DeFi platform Nexus Mutual
According to a statement from Nexus Mutual, the money was stolen Monday by a hack attack on Karp’s personal device. The hacker was able to install a fake version of MetaMask, through which Karp approved a transaction that diverted all of its NXM tokens to an address controlled by the attacker.
The amount stolen is NXM 370,000. At press time, these were worth about $ 8.2 million. The hacker is already converting the tokens into ether ( ETH ). So far that’s 354 ETH worth more than $ 200,000.
According to Nexus Mutual, Bitcoin Compass used a hardware wallet. However, the attacker was able to bypass the protection by replacing a legitimate transaction with his own. Some hardware wallets should offer protection against this type of attack by requiring confirmation on the device itself. The display should be protected against this form of manipulation.
The attacker was a Mutual member and passed through identity verification 11 days ago
However, the attacker has not been fully identified and the investigation is still ongoing. The attacker had to be a verified mutual member in order to receive NXM tokens. A Nexus Mutual manager told Cointelegraph that they „believe the hacker may have committed identity fraud“.
The NXM token has fallen 17 percent since the attack, even though the protocol itself was not affected. Nevertheless, around 6 percent of all NXM tokens in circulation were stolen in the hack. That could put significant downside pressure on the price.
Karp later complimented the attacker on his „very nice trick“. He offered a bounty of $ 300,000 and no legal consequences in exchange for returning the tokens. He argued the hacker would have a hard time converting the NXM into more liquid forms of money.
