Cynthia Lummis Criticized Hillary Clinton For Her Anti Crypto Remarks Saying “Great Leaders Do Not Fear Future, America Could Win Future By Embracing Bitcoin”

0

US Senator Cynthia Lummis criticized Hillary Clinton for her latest remarks about Bitcoin and crypto.



Earlier, during the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, the former first lady, Secretary of State in the Barack Obama administration, and participant in the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton said crypto could devastate many country economies and undermine the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

As an active supporter of bitcoin and crypto, Cynthia Lummi came forward to reply to Clinton that Bitcoin is a digital gold that can be a help dollar against inflation and stabilize USD.

She said:

“Great leaders do not fear the future. America could win the future by embracing Bitcoin as hard money that can be used to stabilize USD and undo the tailspin begun in 1971.”

 

 

She did not elaborate on how the BTC could stabilize the dollar but did mention 1971. In 1971 US President Richard Nixon completely abolished the gold standard, transferring control of the money supply to the Fed. This made the economy more exposed to inflation by allowing the printing of unlimited money.

Perhaps Lummis believes that digital gold (BTC) can now act as collateral for the dollar.

In October, the senator said bitcoin and other “non-fiat currencies” could potentially help Americans and foreigners cope with the looming economic crisis.

In August, the politician increased her investments in the first cryptocurrency. Lummis first invested in BTC in 2013.

Recall that after the election, the senator promised to bring the discussion of bitcoin to the national level and called for a part of pension savings to be transferred to an asset.

Norway Join Hands With Sweden To Ban Bitcoin Mining On EU level

0

Norway supports Sweden’s idea to consider a ban on bitcoin mining.


 

Norway recommends the Swedish regulator’s initiative to halt the mining of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, at the EU level.

On Nov 9th Sweden urged European Union (EU) to ban Bitcoin mining as Swedish regulators believe that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Proof-of-Work mining will prevent the country and the European Union from complying with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

 

Norwegian local government and regional development minister Bjørn Arild Gram said.

“Although crypto mining and its underlying technology might represent some possible benefits, in the long run, it is difficult to justify the extensive use of renewable energy today.

We are currently considering potential policy measures in order to address the challenges related to crypto mining. In the context of this work, we will look to the solutions proposed by the Swedish regulators, and our target would be common European regulations in this area.”

In both countries, energy consumption by local miners jumped hundreds of percent between April and August, making it difficult to meet electricity needs and climate commitments.

Norway, Sweden, and Iceland have become popular destinations for crypto mining due to the abundance of renewable energy sources and low electricity prices.

The European Commission also indicated that they support the concept of abandoning the Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm in favor of a less energy-intensive Proof-of-Stake model.

Recall that the mining company HIVE Blockchain Technologies sold its Norwegian subsidiary ‘Kolos Norway AS’ in May due to the removal of electricity subsidies.

Solving the Problems with Decentralized Exchanges — Bridging the CeFi and DeFi User Experiences With Arken Finance

0

Slowly but assuredly, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have increased in size in the past
year and began to divert loads of liquidity from centralized exchanges to their way.
Kickstarted by the boom of DeFi, and the boom of yield farming, nowadays there are so
many DEX options to choose from the market. However, the DEXs market still lacks much of the basic infrastructure that investors need to make genuine alternatives.

Like it or not, the abounding options of DEXs in the market come with the difficulty of
adoption and challenges in user experience. Veteran investors who traded cryptocurrencies
for years can still be baffled by the entrance of DEXs like Uniswap and Pancakeswap,
spending vague amounts of time learning how the platforms work; not yet counting a
complete beginner who never set foot on the market before.

Arken Finance is a DEX aggregator which offers an all-in-one trade portal for all DeFi
investors. The platform aggregates multiple DEXs into a single platform and allows traders to track the movements of thousands of tokens and synthetic assets and forecast the market movement. In doing so, Arken tackles the principal vulnerability of today’s DEXs: significant slippage, non-real-time information, and the lack of market indicators. Arken Finance offers statistical, technical, and graphical tools to our users with constant support and continuous improvement in user experience!

Here are some of the features that we want you to try:

Never Miss an Investment Chance with Our ‘Real-time’ Trading View & Best Rate Swap Box

But that’s not all. In the crypto space where the timing is key — Arken understands that the quickest information decides who is going to win. While many DEXs cannot offer real-time cross-chain trades, Arken can. And by ‘real-time’, we really mean it. Our tool incorporates real-time trading views across multiple DEXs, offering users a single point of entry to manage digital assets with ease. Traders can analyze price movements to decide when to buy or sell at the optimal price, as well as compare synthetic asset price with the real-world price. This includes a full range of statistical tools and indicators for your own trading experience.

Not only will users get nice and easy-to-use trading views, but Arken also gives you the
best-rate swap and eliminates the challenging and tiring tasks. Instead of manually and
tirelessly monitoring the price and the charges on your own, Arken’s swapbox helps to do
that and provides you with the summary of your target trading pairs by pricing from multiple pools to find the best price across all pools and splits trading amounts across multiple routes in a single transaction to make the trade make an even better price.

Currently, Arken Finance is available on 4 chains, including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and
Avalanche with more than 30 DEXs integrated. There are a total of more than 266,000+
tokens listed across all of these platforms that can be traded across 25,000 different routes
to Optimize the Best Rate. We also function as a terminal for accessing 499,945 trading
pools to choose and plan your assets. Everything is there for you to discover and use for the greatest trading experience in the DeFi universe.

Arken’s Gas Optimization Mode

When using Arken’s swapbox, the ‘default mode’ is set to search for the BEST RATE routes
without taking transaction fees into consideration, which may result in relatively higher gas
fees in some cases.

For those of you who invest in many smaller lots or invest in high transaction fee chains,
Arken’s Gas Optimization mode, when selected, will take into account the gas fee and
combine it with your trading route to offer you the “optimized” rate for your trading. You may not receive the best exchange rate in this mode, but combining the rate and gas fees, the outcome is more worthwhile.

Users Can Easily Compare Tokens Performance For Better Decision

Deciding on which token to buy or invest in can be a challenging decision. There are so
many factors to take into account and you have to do a lot of research for its story, its
information, and its statistical performance. If that is not enough, anticipating the market
trends and investors’ behaviors before making a decision just to invest in a token sounds like a lot to bear.

Arken Finance’s Tokens Comparison Feature is our new feature that allows you to compare
and evaluate interested Tokens statistically and technically before investing your own assets. With this feature, you can review and compare up to 5 Tokens at the same time, allowing you to make buying and selling or even staking decisions in a well-thought-out kind of way.

Why Arken?

With all being said, the Arken Finance team is actively pushing the complete product to
serve the market, so that users will experience the best-in-class trading tool that offers the
best price among DEXs, minimizes slippage, and a real-time, user-friendly interface to
control it all. We will be the one-place-for-all tokens that you can discover treasures from.

Swap your way to the moon.

Shiba Inu Team Issues Scam Alert To SHIB Investors

0

The team Shiba Inu (SHIB) has issued a public warning against ongoing online scams that primarily target altcoin investors interested in SHIB tokens.



The proactive scam alert came in the form of a tweet detailing the various methods used to dupe unsuspecting victims from the Shiba Inu community.

 

The warning further stated, “A fake Shiba Telegram group is being shared across all social media. The scammers impersonate official accounts and create fake users. These scammers reply to general posts.”

While Shiba Inu attracts aspiring crypto millionaires and billionaires, bad actors have ramped up efforts targeting unwary investors on social media platforms including Twitter and Telegram. Some of the common methods used to contact potential victims are impersonating official accounts and targetting hashtags such as #shib #shibarmy #leash #shibaswap and #bone.

Furthermore, Shiba Inu’s scam alert highlighted that the community is not offering any kind of promotions including airdrops, bonuses, giveaways, or gifts. As a general rule, investors are expected to refrain from sharing wallet keys, credentials or joining and following fake social media accounts.

Taking inspiration from Shiba Inu’s success, numerous dog-themed tokens have started to flood the crypto marketplace. Most recently, SHIB hit an all-time high of $0.000086 on Oct. 28 but has been struggling to keep up its value.

Shiba Inu’s development team has also developed and released another token called Doge Killer (LEASH), which has also seen 130.3% gains recently.

In addition to the token’s mainstream adoption, a growing community of investors has placed SHIB in some of the most popular crypto exchanges including Binance.US and Crypto.com.

Copy Trading: How Does it Work?

0

Copy Trading was born in 2005 as a result of the development of mirror trading. In the early days of automated trading, a collection of algorithms was developed and duplicated by traders. Developers made their trade records available to the public in order to assist others to learn from their errors. As a result of this predicament, a social trading network was established. Once in a while, traders began to copy the transactions of other traders onto their own trading accounts, rather than taking a systematic approach to trading.

What Exactly is Copy Trading?

The practice of copying has emerged as a new and innovative type of commerce in recent years. They do not transfer money to other parties, such as investment managers, for any reason. One or more of their accounts is connected to master players, and they mimic the transactions of the master players. A terrific technique for new traders and investors with little or no experience in the market, this is a great way to get started. Those who believe that it is a matter of trusting and depending on those who are more informed about trading than they are, on the other hand, believe that it is an issue of knowledge and experience. The fact that copying is getting increasingly common, particularly among newbies, cannot be denied a second time.

In order for copying traders to connect some of their portfolios to other traders who have been regarded as reliable sources of information, they must first establish personal trading accounts. As a result, they immediately copy the moves of their favorite traders and use that knowledge to replicate their own success.

How Does Copy Trading Work?

Margin accounts and marginless accounts are two types of accounts that may be used for copy trading. A copy trader doesn’t need to be an expert in the subject matter. For the copy trading strategy to work, both leader and follower must be on a single trading platform at once.

Copy trading is a great way to learn the ropes of the business if you’re just getting started. A transaction can only be successfully replicated by using the platform’s automated technology. An automated process deposits all of your open transactions on a regular basis into your bank account. Decide how much money you are willing to invest in a certain trader’s account before making a final decision. Keeping in mind that the percentage of your portfolio you pick should not exceed 20% is essential.

If you’re happy with the trader’s results, you can elect to increase your investment. It is possible to boost your return on investment when an offer is repeated. However, the amount of danger that comes with increasing the amount of money that you invest is also increased.

You will suffer disproportionately large losses if you lose money in a transaction. However, portfolio diversification may be employed to reduce your total risk exposure. You don’t have to put all of your money into one trader. If you are able to swiftly increase or decrease your investment, mimicking the trades of other experts is adequate.

What Are The Finest Markets For Copy Trading, And Why Are They So Advantageous?

A wide variety of markets may be utilized to conduct copy trading, regardless of their nature. Many financial markets are great for duplicating deals and profiting from their profits. As a result, it may be tough to stay on top of everything going on in the currency market. If you want to go into forex trading but don’t have the time to learn and build your skills, copying forex is the best option for you. Furthermore, trading in and out of a certain market on a regular basis is quite easy when duplicating. If you want to diversify your portfolio, you might play around with other marketplaces.

The Main Benefits of Copy Trading

It’s a fascinating and relatively easy way to get started in the world of trading.

  • Inexperienced traders might get started in the stock market by copying successful traders’ tactics.
  • Using it, you may learn from the best traders in the world while generating a sizable profit from your trades.
  • Copying allows you to diversify your portfolio while also generating money in a variety of different markets, thereby minimizing your risk.
  • Using copying services allows you to spend more time on other tasks since you have a third party monitoring your transactions.

Is It Possible to Make Money With Copy Trading?

If a trader discovers a successful trader to mimic, they may make a lot of money with copy trading. However, the largest danger a copy trader will face is market risk. It is possible for a copy trader to lose money if the approach they are following fails. Liquidity risk is also an issue for traders if the instruments they are trading experience a lack of liquidity in volatile markets. Another danger for investors is that the goods they are trading may undergo dramatic fluctuations in price.

When searching for a copy trading platform to assist you in growing your brokerage company and increasing your income, but aren’t sure which one to use, consider B2Broker. By providing a copy trading solution, The company opens up new opportunities for anybody who is interested in the financial markets. This has the ability to significantly increase the revenue of a broker.

Singapore OCBC Bank Is Examining To Launch Bitcoin Exchange

0

Singapore-based OCBC Bank is exploring the possibility of creating a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange in response to customer demand.



OCBC CEO Helen Wong shared his interest in creating a crypto exchange in an interview with Bloomberg.

“We are looking at it and seriously there is some work being done in the bank,”

Wong noted their primary priority is ensuring the safety of clients’ investments, the security of transactions, given the anonymous nature of the crypto.

Wong said OCBC Bank is interested in the underlying technologies of cryptocurrencies, and the popularity of digital assets is not a reason to hurry to integrate them into bank products.

“It’s not about launching a crypto exchange, it’s about responsibility. Banks have a responsibility, a fiduciary duty to clients, ” she explained.

Twitter CEO Payment Firm Square Has Published Whitepaper Of Its Decentralized Bitcoin Exchange

0

Twitter CEO Payment firm Square decentralized exchange TBD, a project led by Mike Brock, has announced its whitepaper.


 

 

TBD is different from a traditional decentralized exchange. Brock explained the functioning of TBD.

“We believe Bitcoin will be the native currency of the internet. While there are many projects to help make the internet more decentralized, our focus is solely on a sound global monetary system for all. But including all requires a few pieces we think are missing.

Getting bitcoin today typically involves exchanging fiat at a centralized and custodial service like CashApp Coinbase. These on- and off-ramps to Bitcoin have a number of issues and aren’t distributed evenly around the world.

This is the problem we’re going to solve: make it easy to fund a non-custodial wallet anywhere in the world through a platform to build on- and off-ramps into Bitcoin. You can think about this as a decentralized exchange for fiat.

As we said, this platform will be entirely developed in the public, open-source, open protocol, and any wallet will be able to use. No foundation or governance model that TBD controls. Permissionless or bust.”

 

TBD White Paper Writes:

“The tbDEX protocol approaches trust differently than other decentralized exchange protocols in the sense that it does not utilize a trustless model, such as atomic swaps. At first blush, this is not optimal, especially when considering the end goal of providing access to a trustless asset like bitcoin. However, the reality is that no interface with the fiat monetary system can be trustless; the endpoints on fiat rails will always be subject to regulation, and there will exist the potential for bad behavior on the part of counterparties. This means that any exchange of value must be fundamentally based on other means of governing trust — particularly reputation.

The tbDEX protocol borrows heavily, if not completely, from well-established models of
decentralizing trust, such as the public key infrastructure (PKI) that is used for securing the
internet today.

Building on top of Decentralized Identifiers (DID), this specification lays out a trust model in which trust is governed through disparate verifiers of trust; this is ultimately in the control of individuals, implementers of cryptocurrency wallets, and/or delegates of trust established by either group.

The protocol itself does not rely on a federation to control permission or access to the network. There is no governance token. In its most abstract form, it is an extensible messaging protocol with the ability to form distributed trust relationships as a core design facet. The protocol itself has no opinion on what an optimal trust relationship between an individual wallet and a participating financial institution (PFI) should look like.

The nature of this trust relationship will never be universal: different jurisdictions are subject to different laws and regulations; and different individuals and institutions will have varying levels of risk tolerance, influenced by price and other incentives. It would violate the principle of trying to achieve the maximum amount of decentralization if the negotiation of trust was dictated at the protocol layer, as that would necessarily involve some form of permission federation.”

President Nayib Bukele Announced El Salvador Will Built A Entire City On Bitcoin At The Bottom Of Volcano backed by Bitfinex And Blockstream

0

El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele announced plans to build a ‘Bitcoin City’ at the base of the Conchagua volcano on the country’s eastern coast on Saturday.



The Central American country has inked a partnership with Blockstream and Bitfinex for the new initiative. The country is set to issue $1 billion Bitcoin bonds which are expected to accelerate the adoption of the leading cryptocurrency further.

El Salvador has taken another step forward with its cryptocurrency adoption as President Nayib Bukele announced the launch of Bitcoin City. The initiative was revealed by the country’s leader during the Bitcoin Week conference to celebrate the adoption of the leading digital asset in the country.

The city will be built near the Conchagua volcano to take advantage of geothermal energy to power both the city and Bitcoin mining – the energy-intensive solving of complex mathematical calculations day and night to verify currency transactions.

 

Bitcoin City will be funded by $1 billion tokenized USD-denominated 10-year bonds and its development will involve prominent digital asset firms including Bitfinex and Blockstream. Bitfinex CTO Paolo Ardoino stated that the crypto exchange will launch a securities platform to hold the Bitcoin bonds for El Salvador’s initiative.

Samson Mow, the chief strategy officer at Blockstream stated that a portion of the invested capital will be taken out of the global circulation. $500 million worth of Bitcoin bonds will be subject to a five-year lock-up period.

 

President Bukele added that Bitcoin City will become a fully functional city with shopping centers, residential areas, restaurants, an airport, and a central plaza that would look like a BTC symbol from above.

Value-added tax (VAT) would also be collected in the city, as explained by Bukele, which is used to pay the municipality’s bonds and public infrastructure development and maintenance.

El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September. However, citizens in the region have been skeptical about the reason behind the adoption of the bellwether cryptocurrency, fueling protests in the country.
