Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian revealed last year that cryptocurrencies represent a portion of his investment portfolio. His venture capital firm, Seven Seven Six, has since participated in a $5 million funding round for Bitcoin rewards app Lolli and invested in blockchain infrastructure firm QuickNode. But where does Ohanian put his own money? At least partially in Ethereum. I do think Ethereum [has], at least for the next year or two, really got the most to prove, or at least the most potential to show something because there are so many interesting applications," Ohanian told Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC's "Squawk Box" this morning. "NFTs are just the start of what's getting built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, and that's where a lot of my holdings are candidly. Source

A car service shop in Milwaukee, in the US state of Wisconsin, is now accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, local network TMJ4 reported today.
Bitcoin for details
Called ‘Detail Doctor’s,’ the shop launched the crypto services just yesterday and is already enjoying a favorable response. The shop is using Coinbase’s merchant services to accept payments and shall take Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Coin, Litecoin, DAI, and Bitcoin Cash. The first day alone saw a $500,000 Lamborghini, a Maserati, and a Cadillac roll into the shop.  “Wisconsin’s got the supercars,” commented Gene Vicari, a co-owner. The shop specializes in servicing luxury cars, but all cars are allowed to avail services. As such, the move comes as the shop owners believe crypto adoption is only going up in the years to come. “We wanted to stay ahead of the curve and things are changing every day,” said co-owner Donato Salvo. “That one day I would think (that it) would be registered with the federal reserve,” he added. Services—ranging from hot wash to shampoo, to exterior and interior detailing are—by appointment only, and prices vary depending on what customers want done.Source

Bitcoin News & Updates / Death Cross Could Signal Bitcoin Bear Market
« on: June 09, 2021, 11:45:44 PM »
The “death cross,” a bearish technical signal biw looming in price charts, could point to trouble ahead for bitcoin (BTC) amid regulatory crackdowns and environmental concerns.
A death cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. If that happens, bitcoin could enter bear market territory similar to what happened in 2018. Previous death crosses resulted in additional price declines of 70% in 2018 and 47% in 2019. The death cross in 2020 occurred shortly after the coronavirus pandemic-induced market crash in March, which proved to be a lagging signal at that time. Speculative reports suggest that bitcoin could soon drop to $20,000 referencing the looming bearish cross of the 50 and 200 daily moving averages,” Stephen Kelso, head of markets at brokerage firm ITI Capital, wrote in an email to CoinDesk.Source

Bitcoin trading volumes have tumbled this month by 47% from May’s record level, in a bleak turn of events for the digital-asset industry as cryptocurrency prices retreat.
A daily average of $34.8 billion of bitcoin has changed hands in the first eight days of June, compared with the unprecedented $67 billion charted last month, based on data from CoinDesk Research. The June average so far is the lowest for any month since December.  Traders have certainly lost the appetite for bitcoin in this uncertain market environment,” the Norwegian cryptocurrency analysis firm Arcane Research wrote Tuesday in a report. The drop in trading volumes could have implications for cryptocurrency exchanges, which derive revenue from handling the transactions. The big U.S. exchange Coinbase’s stock price is down by 31% since it listed on April 14. The big price crash in May and Elon Musk’s tweets really drove trading activity, making May a high-comp month,” said John Todaro, vice president of crypto asset and blockchain research at Needham & Company, referring to the CEO of Tesla.Source

Charles Rettig, the head of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, during a Senate Finance Committee hearing on June 8:     
We do need additional tools. We absolutely need additional resources. Rettig added that the IRS “would appreciate” working with Congress. The chief taxman notes that most virtual currencies are designed to stay “off the radar. The IRS has already served several John Doe summonses to several cryptocurrency exchanges for obtaining their users’ data. As reported by no link shorteningday, the Treasury Department will require all crypto businesses to report transfers over $10,000 to the IRS starting from 2023. President Joe Biden is seeking to double the agency’s staff. Rettig's most recent comments coincided with Bitcoin dropping to a fresh intraday low of $31,025 at 3:24 p.m. UTC on the Bitstamp exchange.source

At the same time, MicroStrategy is also expecting to log a mammoth impairment loss of $284.5 million.
The largest cryptocurrency is currently trading at $32,219 after plunging to its lowest level since May 19.
The MicroStrategy stock is also down 7.3 percent today, reflecting the relentless cryptocurrency sell-off
The company currently has 92,079 BTC (roughly $2.9 billion) in its coffers.Source

May was a testing time for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC). The flagship digital asset was already wobbling after rallying to nearly $65,000 in mid April, owing to profit-taking sentiment among traders. Elon Musk accelerated the sell-off by reversing his company's plans to accept Bitcoin as payment for Tesla's electric cars. Later in the month, the People's Bank of China reiterated to the country's financial institutions against the use of virtual currencies for payments. Chinese authorities are also starting to keep a close eye on crypto mining the process by which computers mine cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. More blows to the cryptocurrency sector came from the U.S. tax and monetary authorities, including Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who suggested that more regulations are needed. All and all, the flurry of negative updates caused the cryptocurrency market to lose more than $500 billion in May. Being the benchmark digital asset, Bitcoin also suffered the brunt of aggressive downside pressure, falling 35.50% in the month.Source

No clear signal for Bitcoin’s price, except for uncertainty. Investors are puzzled as the first cryptocurrency by market cap follows crab-like price action. At the time of writing, BTC trades at $35,935 with sideways movement across the board. The most bullish expert believes BTC could be forming a Bump and Run Reversal (BRR). In 2018 and 2019, BTC’s price formed this chart structure after major corrections and managed to reclaim the lost territory.
Anonymous analyst “Stillman” compared BTC’s price 2018 3-day chart versus its current 10-hour chart and found similarities that point to a Bump and Run reversal bottom.Source

A crypto legal expert is predicting that Ripple’s native token XRP may face a supply shock if the San Francisco-based firm settles its lawsuit with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In a new video, lawyer and XRP supporter Jeremy Hogan discusses a scenario in which Ripple is able to settle its legal battle with the SEC and how that turn of events could impact XRP. “I believe that a settlement agreement would likely include Ripple paying a penalty, but a penalty specifically limited to dates pre-lawsuit. A settlement would likely not include disgorgement of profits to purchasers because of the impossibility of figuring out how to disperse the funds. A settlement could also very well contain a term which includes limitations on the sales of XRP released from escrow. Source

Report shared by Bloomberg’s chief commodity strategist Mike McGlone in his tweet talks about Bitcoin and Ethereum, touches Tether and states that the flagship cryptocurrency should be back on track towards $100,000.
7940_0 “Bitcoin is likely to resume the rise to hit $100,000”
As Bitcoin is trading in the $38,000 zone, Bloomberg report authors say that the BTC could be in a “resting crypto-asset bull market”.The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Indes (BGCI) shows that a bull market is likely to kick off in June. At the moment, the largest cryptocurrency is creating a basis around the $30,000 level after its 50-percent fall from the $68,700 all-time high in April. Now, a lot of speculative excesses are gone and Bitcoin’s fundamentals remain intact, according to the report. Source

Bitcoin price just saw the worst high timeframe correction in years, falling sharping by 50% and instilling fear across the market. The turn in sentiment has everyone guessing where the now bearish cryptocurrency could fall to, but according to past cycles, it could get a lot worse before it gets better. Here’s more on why Bitcoin price could fall back toward $14K before the bear phase is over.Bitcoin Yearly Candle Turns Bearish, But What About The Bull Market?
The arguments are all similar: if that was the top in Bitcoin this was the shortest and weakest bull market yet. The cryptocurrency would have fallen short of expectations by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That thought alone could result in some extremely bearish sentiment – even more negative than what’s going on across the market currently.Related Reading | Bulls Beware: Bears Have Only Now Taken Control Over Bitcoin
There are calls for $20K BTC as the bottom, which would be another 50% from here. Another sizable drop seems unlikely given the potential the asset has, but as a “highly speculative” asset Bitcoin is extremely volatile.
That volatility could result in a full retracement back to $14K. Source

Bitcoin News & Updates / Bitcoin’s Hashrate Nears All Time High
« on: June 03, 2021, 11:54:59 PM »
Bitcoin’s hashrate has almost fully recovered, rising from a low of 106 exahashes per second to around 174 currently as pictured above. That’s close to the same levels prior to its fall at 180 eh/s, although it did reach a very brief 198 eh/s before dropping to near 100 in April and then again to 124 exahashes in May. The drop was due to claims China was to ‘crackdown’ on bitcoin mining with Inner Mongolia ostensibly kicking out miners. In addition the Iranian president went on TV to announce a temporary ban on bitcoin mining, but where raw data is concerned there is no evidence any of this has happened. Iran in particular is thought to have 4% of the global bitcoin hashrate. That’s not much, 7.2 exahashes at 180 eh/s, but you can imagine enforcing such temporary ban would be very difficult. That’s even if they were really willing to do it, which according to the unforgeable data, they probably aren’t. With such a low hashrate share, however, one can’t easily jump to conclusions because western miners have been busy piling up asics datacenters with just Marathon recently announcing they’ve added 16,809 S-19 Pro ASIC miners this year.

Bitcoin could be heading towards a significant price boost, at least according to several on-chain features. Miners have ceased disposing of their coins, and so have long-term hodlers. At the same time, the Stablecoin Supply Ratio has dropped substantially lately.
Miners and Long-Term Holders Refuse to Sell
Apart from being the backbone of the Bitcoin network, miners also have a notable role when it comes down to the price of the underlying asset. As previously reported by CryptoPotato, they can impact BTC’s price quite negatively once they decide to sell off massive portions at once.
This was the case earlier this year when BTC firstly breached $40,000. However, reports exemplified their sell-offs, which led to an immediate market correction.
Nevertheless, more recent on-chain data suggest that miners have stopped selling. According to CryptoQuant, miners have disposed of larger portions in mid-May, during the latest market crash, but are currently holding their bitcoins. Source

The rally in bitcoin (BTC) over the past year may be nearing an end, according to New York-based MRB Partners, a boutique investment research firm.
In a May 25 report titled, “Has The Crypto Fever Broken?“, the analysts cite growing concerns with cryptocurrencies’ environmental impact, possible regulatory risks, negative technical trends and a future reduction in monetary stimulus as among the many reasons bitcoin could have a tough time ahead.
“Easy money has helped fuel the crypto bubble, and a slow unwinding of this trend globally will ultimately become a headwind for the speculative digital asset,” wrote MRB.
Bitcoin has risen nearly two-fold over the past year and is up about 30% year-to-date. The world’s largest cryptocurrency suffered a volatile period in May which appears to be stabilizing over the short-term. However, some analysts expect limited upside in bitcoin despite the possibility of a brief bounce. Source
