Blockchain Companies: Expectation vs RealityCryptocurrency bubble? When analyzing the financial data of companies in the blockchain/cryptoassets area, more specifically the EPS (Earnings per Share), we can see a huge discrepancy between expectation and reality. It should be noted that some of these companies have never made a profit during their entire existence, and have negative cash flow. The question is: to what extent has the market already priced in these negative results? Would there be more room to fall? Below is the concept of EPS, and shortly after a snapshot of the current EPS versus expected EPS, from the main companies in the cryptocurrency and blockchain area. I'm not optimistic about this data, unless there's something that only I didn't see. What is basic EPS? Earnings per Share is the amount of earnings per share of issued, ordinary shares. When companies report financial results, earnings per share is one of the most commonly measured metrics.

What is BitcoinLet’s start with a very simple description of Bitcoin…. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, based on an open-source software design, that is used to transmit value between pseudonymous users. All transactions, after being confirmed by miners using PoW as the consensus mechanism, are stored on a distributed ledger, called a blockchain. Changes to the blockchain are append-only and are synchronized about every10 minutes across thousands of nodes located all over the world over a P2P network. All information stored on the blockchain can be viewed publicly, in real-time. Cryptographic techniques such as public-key cryptography, hash functions, and digital signatures are used to keep the blockchain secure and immutable so it can be accessible to everybody but hackable to nobody. Got all that? But as you can clearly see, the crypto world is full of technical jargon ! Jumping into crypto introduces a large number of terms that most people will be unfamiliar with. The crypto world seems to have its own language and those wishing to learn about the topic can quickly become overwhelmed with all the jargon, acronyms, and other technical terms. But if you really want to understand cryptocurrencies and how they are different, it’s really important that you do familiarize yourself with certain core foundational concepts. My goal is to cover terms and phrases that you may initially not know, but do need to know. Together, we will blast jargon into smithereens so you’re able to easily speak the language of the crypto world with ease.

September 9 BTCUSD BingX Chart Analysis and Today's HeadlineBingX’s Bitcoin Chart According to OKLink, the total number of ETH 2.0 pledged addresses has exceeded 430,000, reaching a record high of 430,308. Bitcoin is up 4.88% over the last 24 hours and rose to an intraday high of $20,320.00. The largest cryptocurrency managed to break the psychological level of $20,000, which indicates strong demand at the $20,000 price level. The relative strength index (RSI) is moving away from the oversold zone, suggesting the bears are losing control. If the price breaks above the 20-day EMA ($20,344), the BTC/USDT pair could rally toward the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) ($21,964). Today’s Cryptocurrency Headline SEC to Set Up New Cryptocurrency Disclosure Office The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will set up a new office for cryptocurrency filings. Cicely LaMothe, the associate director for disclosure operations, said the office would be part of the Division of Corporation Finance, which handles disclosures for publicly traded firms. The SEC believes the new office is necessary to address “unique and evolving” filings around crypto assets, the vast majority of which are considered securities by the SEC, LaMothe said at a legal conference in Washington on Thursday. According to LaMothe, the SEC is expected to have legal and accounting branches for crypto firms to consult and file with.

Ethereum Testing ResistanceEthereum pivoted from $1547, after breaching this level briefly. Swift momentum took us back to $1653. Recall that this is the beginning of a series of levels extending through the $1700's, which will provide resistance. It will take significant momentum to break through. Though the Kovach OBV has picked up sharply, we will need more follow through if we hope to break out much further. If we reject current levels, then $1547 is a likely target. Otherwise, $1424 is the next level below.

September 8 BTCUSD BingX Chart Analysis and Today's HeadlineBingX’s Bitcoin Chart According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a 75 basis point rate hike in the September meeting has risen to 80% from 69% a week ago. Bitcoin is up 2.59% over the last 24 hours and fell to an intraday low of $19,464.80. As investors worry about the Federal Reserve could continue with its aggressive tightening monetary policy, risky assets have been under selling pressure lately. However, the largest cryptocurrency rebounded alongside the traditional equity market today, which could be a short-term adjustment. For now, the bulls need to push the Bitcoin price above the psychological level of $20,000 to establish a relief rally. Today’s Cryptocurrency Headline SEBA Bank Launches Ethereum Staking Services For Institutional Clients Swiss-regulated crypto platform SEBA Bank has launched ETH staking services for institutional clients. SEBA Bank said that the product allows users to receive ETH staking rewards on a monthly basis and variable lock-up periods will be instituted post-merge. However, no staked ETH can be withdrawn from Ethereum’s Beacon Chain until after a subsequent network upgrade, dubbed Shanghai, expected in the second quarter of 2023. Earlier in December last year, SEBA Bank launched the "SEBA Earn" program, which will allow institutional clients to obtain rewards through services such as staking, lending, and DeFi.

Litecoin DUMPSLitecoin made a valiant attempt to solidify the $60's, but a strong selloff sent us straight back to the mid $50's. We broke through support at $55.84, and are in the middle of the vacuum zone between this level at $51.92. The low $50's should continue to hold in the event of another selloff. At this point, $55.84 will provide resistance if we are able to rally, and it is not likely we will see the $60's again any time soon unless we see significant momentum come through.

Two Reasons why Ethereum DumpedAs predicted, Ethereum collapsed from $1653. This happened for two reasons that discussed yesterday: We noted that this was highly likely as it was a primarily retail driven rally from hype off 'the merge'. Also, $1653 is the first of a cluster of resistance levels extending into the $1700's. It will require sufficient momentum to break through these. The Kovach OBV has sharply fallen to confirm the selloff. We have broken through our next support level at $1547, but are still well above $1424, which is likely a floor for now. If we rally, $1653 should still provide signficant resistance.

As Predicted, Bitcoin Tests Lows AgainWe have been calling for Bitcoin to return to $18.6K since its meager rally through the $20K's. Finally, Bitcoin caved and hit our target. We had been wavering around $20K since late August and finally support gave. Indeed $20.7K proved to be a hard upper bound, and our newly drawn level at $19.5K could do little to provide support. However, as discussed here, $18.6K held. We tested this level exactly, with green triangles on the KRI to confirm the support. If this caves, the next level is $17.6K. Otherwise, $20K should be considered a hard upper bound for now.

Log fractal 4.O updated.This chart doesn't played perfect, as expected. However, it's still working after few reedits and that is important. Let's monitor how will end up & if print new lows below June. After that, it convince me to full fill box targets around 14-15k. Time frame probably not fit. It is just previous trend price action. Can take much more time or go sideways...Always possible. Also Black Swan would occur. But isn't so far to make it real. Formation is Bear Flag , below 200 week average with economy in recession. It could end up much lower. I am just posting gold-mid way for long term invests position. Take care, Emvo. *This is not any financial advice.

Crypto101 - What is DeFi & Blockchain ?Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators📈📉 Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Whether you've just gotten into crypto trading or you're trying to expand your knowledge on what this space has to offer; this post is for you! Decentralized finance or DeFi, is a financial ecosystem based on blockchain technology. So lets recap, what Is a blockchain exactly? Blockchain is a software technology, it is basically computer coding that creates a usable service like an app or website for the public. Most blockchains are entirely open-source software. This means that anyone and everyone can view its code. The first-ever implementation of Blockchain was originally written in C++ (coding language). Blockchain and it's possible use cases was first introduced to the world in the Bitcoin Whitepaper, written by the infamous Satoshi Nakamoto (the pseudonym used by the creator or creators of BTC). A blockchain is an online database that is shared to many computer networks. This means that if one computer in the network fails, the data is unaffected and transactions carries on. It is not dependent on one single data storage facility. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. A blockchain collects information in groups, known as blocks, that holds many sets of information (like time of transactions, amounts etc.). Blocks have certain storage capacities and, when filled, are closed and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain of data known as the blockchain. An online database usually structures its data into tables, whereas a blockchain, as its name implies, structures its data into "3D chunks" (blocks) that link to each other. For easy reference and transparency, each block in the chain is given an exact timestamp when it is added to the chain. The revolutionary innovation idea behind blockchain is that it guarantees the truthfulness and security of data and generates trust without the need for a government/private institution to validate it. Back to DeFi - In centralized finance , your money is held by banks and corporations whose main goal is to make money . The financial system is full of third parties who facilitate money movement between parties, with each one charging fees for using their services. The idea behind DeFi was to create a system that cuts out these third parties, their fees and the time spent on all the interaction between them. Defi is a technology built on top of blockchain - it can be an app or a website for example, which means that is was written in code language by software programmers. It lets users buy and sell virtual assets (like crypto and NFT's) and use financial services as a form of investment or financing without middlemen/banks. This means you can borrow, lend and invest - but without a centralized banking institution. In summary, DeFi is a subcategory within the broader crypto space. DeFi offers many of the services of the mainstream financial world but controlled by the masses instead of a central entity. And instead of your information being filed on paper and stored by a banker, your information is captured digitally and stored in a block with your permission. Many of the initial DeFi applications were built on Ethereum (which is a blockchain technology, but the code is different to Bitcoin's, in other words it operates/works differently). The majority of money in DeFi remains concentrated there. Lending may have started it all, but DeFi applications now have many use cases, giving participants access to saving, investing, trading, market-making and more. A prime example of such a market is PancakeSwap (CAKEUSDT). PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange native to BNB Chain (Binance chain). In other words, it shares some similarities with established platforms like UniSwap in that users can swap their coins for other coins. The only difference is that PancakeSwap focuses on BEP20 tokens – a specific token standard developed by Binance . The BEP20 standard is essentially a checklist of functions new tokens must be able to perform in order to be compatible with the broader Binance ecosystem of dapps, wallets and other services. PancakeSwap uses liquidity pools instead of counterparties/orders from other traders. A liquidity pool in this context refers to funds deposited by investors – which can be anyone from around the world – into smart contracts for the aim of providing liquidity to traders. With this system, buyers do not have to wait to be matched with sellers, or vice versa. Whenever someone wants to trade one token for another, they simply deposit the token they have into the pool and withdraw the other token they wish to receive. That said, PancakeSwap is not just for swapping coins. You can also take up the role of a liquidity provider (that is, you can deposit tokens in a liquidity pool for the chance of earning a share of trading fees paid by those trading against the pool in question). Yield Farming is another income-generating opportunity available on PancakeSwap. With this, you can farm for a token called CAKE. So why would you want a token? Tokens are like the money video-game players earn while killing monsters, money they can use to buy gear or weapons. I personally love collecting my Glimmer in Destiny 2. But with blockchains, tokens aren't limited. They can be earned in one way and used in lots of other ways. They usually represent either ownership in something or access to some service. For example, in the Brave browser, ads can only be bought using basic attention token (BAT). I think I'll cover more on this in another post, otherwise this will become a too long read. Final Thoughts 💭 Even though banks are slow and inefficient (to name only a few of the problems), there is still something that comes with using a bank that crypto cannot (yet fully) offer - guarantees and peace of mind. At least at this point. I believe in a future where blockchain is easily accessible, open but at the same time protects user privacy, transparent, decentralized and safe. But the truth is, we're still far away from that. Blockchain is in its infancy, being used by too many opportunists and crooks. So be careful when you invest in DeFi. The beautiful dream of blockchain still contains too many scammers that have no intention of cutting out banks; instead they want to get to the bank FIRST. __________________________ 👀Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 📉 Hit like & Follow 🔔 We thank you for your support !

Bitcoin Struggles Amid PressuresBitcoin is hugging lows at our new level at $19.5K. A strong dollar and recession fears seem to be weighing on cryptos. The Kovach OBV is bearish, but appears to be picking up slightly, which could suggest a bear divergence. We could easily make a run for $20.7K if caught a burst of momentum. However, technically BTC does look pretty weak and if $19.5K does not hold, then $18.6K is the next level below to provide support and is an expected floor price for BTC.

September 6 BTCUSD BingX Chart Analysis and Today's HeadlineBingX’s Bitcoin Chart According to CoinShare, digital asset investment products saw minor inflows totalling US$9.2m although the predominant inflow was into short investment products. Bitcoin saw outflows totalling US$11m, representing the 4th consecutive week of outflows. Bitcoin is up 0.68% over the last 24 hours and rose to an intraday high of $20,180.00. The largest cryptocurrency has been trading between $19,500 and $20,500 for the past few days, suggesting the market lacks upward or downward momentum. The current market sentiment is extremely weak as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is showing the market is in extreme fear territory. Today’s Cryptocurrency Headline MicroStrategy is Working on Enterprise Applications of Bitcoin Lightning Network MicroStrategy executive chairman and former CEO Michael Saylor said at the Baltic Honeybadger conference that the company's developers are working on solutions that would allow large numbers of people to join the Lightning Network, a payment network on top of bitcoin allowing faster and cheaper transactions. Saylor said: “MicroStrategy has got some R&D projects going on right now where we’re working on enterprise applications of Lightning: enterprise Lightning wallet, enterprise Lightning servers, enterprise authentication.” It’s still a very early stage and it’s yet to be seen whether any viable products would come out of this, Saylor said.

September 5 BTCUSD BingX Chart Analysis and Today's HeadlineBingX’s Bitcoin Chart According to Glassnode, 65.772% of the Bitcoin circulating supply has not been active for more than one year, a record high. Bitcoin is up 0.82% over the last 24 hours and rose to an intraday high of $20,058.01. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the nonfarm payrolls last Friday, which shows that the U.S job market added 315,000 jobs in August, just below the Dow Jones estimate for 318,000. The cryptocurrency rose alongside the traditional equity market after the report was released, but could not keep the upward momentum during the weekend, suggesting the bears are selling on rallies. For now, the buyers must hold the price above the psychological level of $20,000 in order to avoid further decline. Today’s Cryptocurrency Headline Indonesian Government to Launch Crypto Exchange This Year The Indonesian government plans to launch a crypto exchange by the end of the year, Indonesian Deputy Trade Minister Jerry Sambuaga said on the sidelines of the 2022 NXC International Summit. The cryptocurrency initiative is part of the government’s efforts to protect consumers amid rising interest in digital currencies. The exchange was originally scheduled to go live in 2021, but was delayed due to the complicated process.
