The market that never sleeps: Bitcoin


 

On the second day of the week after Christmas, the crypto market is initially corrective mood. Compared to many a Christmas crash, Bitcoin and Co. get off lightly this year.

If traditional markets and the crypto market differ in one aspect, it is in this one: While the stock market is tied to strict trading hours (on the Deutsche Börse Xetra, for example, trading is allowed from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every weekday), cryptocurrencies are traded around the clock - even during public holidays. The order books of the Bitcoin exchanges around the world match positions at any time of the day or night without having to adhere to common structures such as working hours. The pricing mechanism in the crypto market can thus be described as much more efficient than that of classic markets.


This fact becomes all the more evident on public holidays. Because while stock exchanges fall into collective hibernation at Christmas time, trading on the crypto market continues. So it is not surprising that some price developments even in the contemplative time. Unfortunately not a positive one from the cops' point of view.

The key currency Bitcoin (BTC) corrected by 3 percent within 24 hours on the second day of the week after the holidays and is trading at 49,234 US dollars at the time of writing. With this, the crypto currency No. 1 gets off lightly. The smart contract coin Solana (SOL) even has to accept a price minus of 4.8 percent and Terra (LUNA) is the whipping boy of the day with minus 8.3 percent. 


Bad memories of 2017

The losses may be painful for the individual investor. Compared to the sometimes chaotic price movements during the Christmas season of previous years, these were calm holidays. Some may remember: Christmas 2017, for example, marked the climax of the most recent crypto hype: In December 2017, the largest bubble in the sector to date burst and Bitcoin rushed from the high of just under 20,000 US dollars to a third of its value within a few weeks. That would be like Bitcoin standing at $ 15,000 in February 2022.

But there can be no talk of such horror scenarios these days. The most recent correction may well be pushed into the realm of healthy course corrections; after all, Bitcoin is also 4.7 percent up on seven days.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
