ICP / USD (Internet Computer) Coin Analysis 26/10/2021Fundamental Analysis: The Internet Computer is the world’s first blockchain that runs at web speed with unbounded capacity. It also represents the third major blockchain innovation, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum — a blockchain computer that scales smart contract computation and data, runs them at web speed, processes and stores data efficiently, and provides powerful software frameworks to developers. By making this possible, the Internet Computer enables the complete reimagination of software — providing a revolutionary new way to build tokenized internet services, pan-industry platforms, decentralized financial systems, and even traditional enterprise systems and websites. The project was founded in October 2016 by Dominic Williams, and attracted notable interest from the crypto community. DFINITY raised a total of $121 million from contributors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Polychain Capital, SV Angel, Aspect Ventures, Electric Capital, ZeroEx, Scalar Capital, and Multicoin Capital, and several notable early Ethereum supporters. In 2018, over 50,000 registerter participants received ICP utility tokens in an airdrop. On December 18, 2020, DFINITY launched the alpha mainnet of the Internet Computer. In a final step towards decentralization, on May 10, 2021, DFINITY launched the Internet Computer into the public domain. This major milestone means that the internet now functions as a decentralized global computer — marked by the release of all of the Internet Computer’s source code into the public domain, as well as ICP utility token allowing tens of thousands of community members to govern the Internet Computer network. The purpose of the Internet Computer is to extend the public internet, so it can also be the world’s compute platform. Today, the internet is a network that connects everybody and everything, but systems and services currently run from private infrastructure. The scientific breakthrough behind the Internet Computer is Chain Key Technology, which encompasses dozens of advanced technology such as novel Consensus, Non-Interactive Distributed Key Generation (NI-DKG), Network Nervous System (NNS), Internet Identity, etc. Chain Key Technology consists of a set of cryptographic protocols that orchestrate the nodes that make up the Internet Computer. It is one of the fundamental breakthroughs behind the Internet Computer, enabling it to have a single public key. This is a huge advantage because it allows any device, including smart watches and mobile phones, to verify the authenticity of artifacts from the Internet Computer. In contrast, this is not possible for traditional blockchains. The single public key is just the tip of the iceberg: Chain Key Technology is the engine that drives the Internet Computer and makes its operation possible. It allows for adding new nodes to form new subnets to scale the network infinitely; replacing faulty or crashed nodes with new ones without ever stopping; reviving subnets even if too many nodes within have failed; and upgrading the Internet Computer Protocol seamlessly, allowing the network to fix bugs and add new features. The DFINITY R&D team has invented a new noninteractive key resharing protocol. Each of the old signers only needs to broadcast a single message to the new signers. To ensure that this is done securely, many concepts from advanced cryptography are utilized, including encryption with forward secrecy and noninteractive zero-knowledge proofs. Because it is noninteractive, the way the key resharing protocol operates is ideal for an asynchronous environment, and the benefits include key preservation. Throughout the lifetime of a subnet, it is known by a single public key, and the other parties on the Internet Computer do not have to keep track of changing public keys. At Genesis on May 10, 2021, the Internet Computer is supported by 48 independent data centers — located across North America, Europe, and Asia — running 1,300 nodes. The network will continue to grow exponentially to support the next generation of mega dapps, with 123 data centers running 4,300 nodes scheduled by the end of the year, and eventually thousands of data centers running millions of nodes to support the decade-long building out of the Open Internet. Importantly, anyone can become a node provider, interested parties apply for a Data Center ID (DCID) to the Network Nervous System (NNS), procure specialized machine nodes, install the ICP protocol, and connects to the Internet Computer network. The scientific breakthrough called Chain Key Technology allows the Internet Computer to run at web speed — where query calls execute in milliseconds, and update calls take 1-2 seconds to finalize. More importantly, at Genesis, the Internet Computer will have a block rate of 2.5 blocks per second (bps), then quickly to an industry leading bps of 10.3 bps, and ~1,000 bps by end of the year. In the case of an open version of Reddit running on the Internet Computer, when a user browses the forum, customized views of the hosted content would be formulated and served into their web browser by the execution of query calls, which run in milliseconds on a nearby node, providing a fantastic user experience. But when a user wishes to occasionally make a post, or provide a tip of tokens to the author of a post, this would involve update calls, which would take 1–2 seconds. ICP are native utility tokens that play three key roles in the network: Facilitating Network Governance: ICP tokens can be locked to create neurons that participate in network governance by voting, through which they can earn economic rewards. Production of Cycles for Compute: ICP provides a source store of value that can be converted into cycles; which power computation in the role of fuel that is burned when it is used. The NNS converts ICP to cycles at a variable rate, so chosen to ensure users of the network can always create new cycles at approximately constant cost in real terms, such that the cost of acquiring fuel is predictable. Rewarding Participants: The network mints new ICP to reward and incentivize those playing important roles that enable the network to function, including: a) the provision of voting rewards to those participating in governance, b) the provision of voting rewards; to those operating the node machines hosting the network, and c) other miscellaneous activities. What Do Cycles Do? Cycles power computation in the role of fuel. They also have a constant value over the long-term, which contrasts with ICP, whose value will naturally vary over time. Moreover, Cycles will be pegged to the SDR, which is a logical currency unit defined by the International Monetary Fund, and 1 SDR worth of ICP can be converted into exactly one trillion Cycles to power computation. What Do Neurons Do? A neuron locks a balance of ICP utility tokens and enables its owner to participate in network governance, through which they can earn voting rewards. Who Are the Natural Buyers for ICP Tokens? Token Holders who want to participate in network governance and earn voting rewards Developers who need to convert ICP tokens into Cycles to pay for computation. There will be 469,213,710 ICP tokens at Genesis. Circulating supply depends on the dynamics of the market. However, it is approximated to be 26% at Genesis. Genesis Initial State Token Allocations Early contributors: 9.50% Seed donations: 24.72% Strategic: 7.00% Presale: 4.96% Strategic partnerships: 3.79% Community airdrop: 0.80% Initial community and developer grants: 0.48% Node operators: 0.22% Internet Computer Association: 4.26% Team members: 18.00% Advisors and other third-party token holders: 2.40% DFINITY Foundation: 23.86%. How Does the Internet Computer Network Nervous System Work for Voting? The NNS works by receiving proposals and deciding to adopt or reject them based on voting activity by neurons; that network participants have created. Neurons are also used by participants to submit new proposals. After submission, proposals are either adopted or rejected, which can happen almost immediately or after some delay, depending on how the totality of neurons vote. What Are The Prominent Projects In The Internet Ecosystem? The Internet Computer launched with several high profile entrepreneurs and applications being built on it. These include: DeFi Enso Finance – Decentralized exchange that has raised $5mn Tacen – A high-performance non-custodial exchange that has raised $2.5mn SailFish – A gateway to open financial services Social Distrikt – A decentralized, professional social media network. It is the Open LinkedIn application shown off by DFINITY in Davos at WEF 2020 that is now being taken to market OpenChat – An open version of your standard chat app that is not owned by a large tech corporation CanCan – An open version of TikTok that shows the scalability and power of the Internet Computer Capsule – A decentralized social media platform which is safe from censorship that has raised $1.5mn Infrastructure Fleek – Allows easy building of open web sites and applications. 14,000 websites already running Pan-Industry Platforms Origyn – A pan-industry platform for tracking the provenance of luxury goods, starting with luxury watches. Dominic Williams is the Founder and Chief Scientist of DFINITY.

The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #24, with a live market cap of $8,582,798,715 USD. It has a circulating supply of 174,363,085 ICP coins and the max. supply is not available. Technical Analysis: as you can see the coin has fallen heavily since its lunch and now it is literally at its lowest price, based on the valuable fundamentals we have decided to invest on this coin for a long term did. We have defined 4 new targets with Fibonacci Projection of the past Bullish Run and highest pick and lowest retracement dumps. The 3 TP gets confirmed as soon as the price touches the 161.8% of the same Fibonacci Projection followed by some retracement and price correction. 4 TP can be easily achieved as soon as the bull run starts and will be taken with some retracements. we can ultimately target the 2500$ as this is a new and effective environment which is capable of shooting to the higher price of its Initial offering.

Potential Falling Wedge Pattern Formation on $SUSHI/USDT Chart#SUSHI #DEFI #FallingWedge #PatternFormation #TradingView Hello traders! 👋 I wanted to share an interesting chart observation I made on the $SUSHI/ AMEX:DEFI pair. It appears that a potential falling wedge pattern is forming, which could indicate a bullish reversal in the near future. Let's dive into the details! 1️⃣ Falling Wedge Formation: The price action on the $SUSHI/ AMEX:DEFI chart shows a series of lower highs and lower lows, converging between two trend lines. This pattern is commonly known as a falling wedge, characterized by a contracting range. Falling wedges are often considered bullish reversal patterns. 2️⃣ Volume Analysis: Volume plays a crucial role in confirming patterns. Ideally, we would like to see declining volume as the wedge develops, followed by an increase in volume upon breakout. This could indicate a strong buying interest that could potentially propel the price higher. 3️⃣ Resistance and Support Levels: The upper resistance trend line and lower support trend line are important areas to monitor. A break above the resistance line, accompanied by a surge in volume, may suggest a bullish breakout. Conversely, a breakdown below the support line could invalidate the pattern. 4️⃣ Price Target and Stop Loss: If the falling wedge pattern confirms, a common technique to estimate the potential target is to measure the distance between the widest part of the wedge and add it to the breakout point. As for stop loss placement, it is often set below the support line to limit potential losses. Keep in mind that technical patterns are not foolproof and should be combined with other forms of analysis, such as fundamental research and market sentiment, before making trading decisions. To summarize, the $SUSHI/ AMEX:DEFI pair is exhibiting a potential falling wedge pattern, which suggests a bullish reversal might be on the horizon. However, confirmation is required through a breakout above the upper resistance trend line and a surge in volume. Traders should exercise caution and consider utilizing proper risk management strategies. What are your thoughts on this pattern? Share your insights below! Remember to do your own analysis and consult with financial professionals before making any investment decisions. #SUSHI #DEFI #FallingWedge #PatternFormation #BullishReversal #TradingAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #Cryptocurrency #TradingView

ETH - Long-Term View 👀Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. on DAILY: Left Chart As per my last analysis, ETH rejected the green support zone and traded higher. Now What? 📈 ETH is sitting around a minor resistance zone in gray 1950. For the bulls to remain in control medium-term we need a break above it. Meanwhile, the bears can take over for a correction (to be confirmed on lower timeframes), in this case, we will be looking for new buy setups around the orange minor support. on Weekly: Right Chart 🏹 From a long-term perspective, for the bulls to take over, we need a weekly candle close above the blue resistance zone 2250 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich
