Tim Draper remains strongly bullish on DeFi and Bitcoin, although in his opinion the regulations are not yet able to provide certainty

Tim Draper, a well-known venture capitalist and investor in Bitcoin, publicly stated two years ago that BTC would reach $250,000 by 2022. Yet while Bitcoin continues to attract the interest of more and more players, Draper revealed to Cointelegraph that such a prediction may have been overly cautious:

„I think it will certainly reach that price level. But many people think that $250,000 was a bit too conservative a prediction.“

Draper also discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the blockchain sector, noting that tokenisation will play an important role in solving global logistics and real estate problems. In addition, Draper shared his thoughts on decentralized finance, or DeFi, arguing that he would like to „decentralize the venture capitalist profession“ in the future.

Cointelegraph: What do you think about the impact of the pandemic on the blockchain world?

Tim Draper: Several things have happened since the beginning of the pandemic. Some say it is accelerating the development and adoption of new technologies. People are stuck in their own homes and wonder, „Why not try VR for telemedicine or distance education? Some of the projects that our community has been supporting for a long time have gained a lot of attention during the pandemic, because people could not leave their homes.

In addition, the US government printed $13 trillion, immediately diluting the dollar value by 20 or 30%. This was a real shock to the system. People then began to ask: „Well, wait, where do I put my money? Do I put it in gold or do I put it in Bitcoin, which is a very good reserve of value?“. A lot of people decided to transfer their money to BTC.

Another point to make is that millions of people will die as a result of this pandemic, but 135 million could starve to death because of the government’s reaction. Generalized lockdowns have blocked several supply chains worldwide, and as a result people are hungry.

But every time there is a crisis, there is a great opportunity to do something extraordinary. During the last financial crisis, for example, Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin. And I think that when we will be able to implement the blockchain better, we will be able to use Bitcoin in a dollar-equivalent way.

CT: Right now the world is in the middle of a very serious crisis. What technological innovation will help humanity come out of it stronger?

TD: Tokenisation will advance. We see it in real estate, in logistics and in all the markets where valuables have to be moved from one side to the other. These objects can be transferred through the Internet: in the case of real estate, you could buy a part of a house, or you could token the property and own a piece of it without having to buy the whole thing.

Tokenisation is also a great way to track the movement of goods. I think we will make huge strides forward in the logistics sector.

CT: Another phenomenon we are observing is the rise of DeFi. Do you think that Decentralised Finance is just a bubble or will it increase the adoption of crypto?

TD: I think the DeFi phenomenon couldn’t not happen. For a long time people who own Bitcoins or other cryptos have been standing still watching their growth rate, instead of using those funds. But every investor wants his money to be constantly used.

Basically, I want to decentralize the venture capitalist business: I raise funds only in Bitcoin, I invest only in Bitcoin, entrepreneurs pay their employees and suppliers all in Bitcoin. All the accounting of this system is on-chain. My relationship with the entrepreneur and my investors is fixed by a smart contract, so that if the project goes well the revenues can be distributed in many different Bitcoin wallets. I think this will happen eventually, but at the moment the accounting side is not ready yet. We are still facing the first cases of using DeFi, but in the long term accounting, taxes… everything will be done using Bitcoin!

DeFi will then become a bridge to „ReFi“ where „King“ stands for „Retail“: we will use crypto as the main currency for all our purchases. It will become a part like any other of the world economy. I think this will include Bitcoin along with four or five other cryptocurrencies.

In conclusion, I think that the fiat coins will slowly disappear: the governments that want to launch some centralized crypto anchored to the own currency are frustrating our efforts. The purpose of all this is to make that the currency is not tied up to the politics. We cannot inflate debts and we cannot act as Argentina has done for 100 years.

We must operate fairly on all fronts. This is the beauty of cryptocurrencies, governments will never be able to replicate it with a fiat currency.

CT: Are you still sticking to your forecast that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by 2022?

TD: Yes, Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by 2022 or early 2023. That $250,000 is a forecast based on the fact that BTC will reach a 5% share of the currency market. I think this is an easily achievable level, especially since more and more women are starting to use Bitcoin, and they control 80% of retail spending. It’s really interesting: before there was only 1 woman in 15 Bitcoin wallet holders, but the numbers are changing. When women start using wallets, they will realize that it is very simple. So, yes, I think BTC will definitely reach that level, but a lot of people even think that my prediction was a bit too cautious.

Discover “Satoshi farming” – Yields and DeFi are not the preserve of the Ethereum network alone.

Bitcoin is also doing it via its Lightning Network (LN) . The Lightning Pool will thus make it possible to both improve liquidity on the LN network, while encouraging node operators to sell payment channels.

A liquidity market on the Lightning Network

Via a publication by its engineer and developer Ryan Gentry , the company Lightning Labs has just revealed the creation of the Lightning Pool .

The latter is intended as a marketplace where it will be possible to earn rewards by selling access to liquidity on the Bitcoin Storm lightning network.

“The Lightning Pool makes it easier to accept payments instantly on Lightning and opens up the new possibility of earning a return on bitcoin by selling access to cash on Lightning. “ – Ryan Gentry

This over-the-counter (P2P) market allows LN node operators to buy and sell payment channels .

A Bitcoin version DeFi

Like decentralized finance on Ethereum, the Lightning Pool allows its users to earn a return on their BTC capital while maintaining control over their funds.

“(…) Node operators can now be paid to open new [payment] channels and provide inbound liquidity. This opens the door to new sources of revenue for leasing cash and deploying capital on the Lightning Network. “ – Ryan Gentry

The alpha version of the Lightning Pool is available to everyone now, so it can be tested to earn real bitcoin returns. Be careful though! The interface remains for the moment still in command line (CLI) and will therefore not be easy to learn.

This incentive to create new channels and liquidity on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network is a great initiative on the part of Lightning Labs. Let us hope that the Lightning Pool will develop quickly, in order to be accessible to as many people as possible and to be able to earn a few satoshis with a decentralized return (without intermediary) !

Bitcoin’s price is in a slight consolidation phase and is being traded around $ 13,000.

While the pressure to sell around $ 13,200 has been significant, it does not indicate any significant weakness among sellers.

If the BTC bulls can provide a strong foothold in this price region, there is a good chance that serious upside is imminent

However, an analyst explains in a recent tweet that a technical indicator suggests that the cryptocurrency has made a local high.

This could mean that further consolidation or a slight regression is imminent.

Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market have struggled to extend the momentum recently created by BTC resistance in the $ 13,000 region.

While this is only a micro-level consolidation, it should be noted that continued trading below this level could mean a blow to current buyer strength.

Where the entire crypto market goes next depends entirely on Bitcoin

This could mean that some downtrend is imminent. An analyst said in a tweet that a historically accurate indicator now suggests a backtrack is imminent before BTC can make any further gains.

Bitcoin is consolidating at $ 13,000 – where are further price gains waiting?

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $ 12,990. This roughly corresponds to the price at which it was traded in the last 24 hours.

The bears have been eager to prevent BTC from gaining a firm foothold in the under $ 12,000 region. It is still unclear whether the selling pressure will stop its momentum here.

This indicator suggests that BTC has formed a local spike

Importantly, there is an indicator that suggests that Bitcoin has spiked locally – which suggests that a downward move into the lower $ 12,000 region is imminent.

An analyst wrote about this in a recent tweet, referring to BTC’s Emasar indicator with a downside target of around $ 12,200. The analyst:

“Emasar signals a local spike in BTC. Above $ 12,700 seems like a good place to take a profit. I have orders to buy back $ 11,777 – $ 12,226 „

Despite this, the Central Bank promises that charging for Pix transactions will cost cents in some cases, far below the current DOC and TED systems.

The Brazilian Central Bank’s rapid transfer system, Pix, goes live on November 16 and promises to revolutionize the financial lives of Brazilians without charging fees to the majority of the population.

SUSEP comes out ahead and selects companies for its sandbox while the CVM and the Central Bank are ’stopped
The CB promises free transactions for individuals, individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs), and other specific cases. For part of the companies registered in the system, however, there will be charges.

The Central Bank established rules for collection of fees through BCB Resolution 19/2020, establishing the prohibition on collection of fees at Pix for: individual entrepreneurs (MEIs) in sending funds, for the purposes of transfer and purchase; and for receiving funds, for the purpose of transfer.

As a result, transactions carried out through the companies‘ in-person or personal channels, including telephone charges, will be subject to transfer fees.

Central banks detail expectations about CBDCs in a large joint document
Charges for individuals and MEIs may also occur in the case Bitcoin Profit of receipt of funds for the purpose of purchases, while legal entities will be charged when there is sending and receiving funds in the provision of services related to the receipt or payment of funds.

The Central Bank has also established that the application of fees must be informed to customers as follows:

I – in the receipt of the remittance and receipt of funds under Pix and the initiation of payment transaction service;

II – on the ordinary statement of the deposit account and payment account, as well as on the consolidated annual statement of fees;

III – the statement of use of the payment transaction initiation service, in case the amount is not informed in the ordinary statements referred to in item II; and

IV – in the table of fees for services rendered on the institution’s website and other electronic channels.

Disclaimer: de bevindingen van het volgende artikel zijn de enige mening van de schrijver en mogen niet als beleggingsadvies worden opgevat

Bitcoin is de afgelopen 48 uur met 8% gestegen, een cijfer dat niet echt ongebruikelijk is voor een volatiel actief als Bitcoin. De stijging omvatte echter 2-3% kaarsen met consolidatie die ze scheidde.

Op het moment van de pers bevond Bitcoin zich nog steeds in de genoemde consolidatie, waarbij de grafieken op korte termijn wijzen op een stijging naar boven

De bijgevoegde een-uurgrafiek voor Bitcoin stelde de vorming van een bullish wimpel voor, een die een doel aangaf dat een stijging van 3,40% verwijderd was. Maar nu de prijs van de cryptocurrency consolideert en verwarring en chaos aanwakkert, kan de prijs van Bitcoin hoe dan ook worden geduwd.

Hoewel het een bullish patroon in de natuur was, was er de mogelijkheid dat beren de controle overnamen, wat leidde tot een dump en de vorming van een Bart-patroon. Dit Bart-patroon zou toekomstige uitvoeringen bedreigen en ook pieken in het verleden schaden.

Afgezien van de positie van Bart die de prijsprestaties bedreigde, leek er een nep-out te zijn die net zo schadelijk kon zijn als een Bart-patroon.

Daarom moet voorzichtigheid worden betracht voordat een longpositie wordt ingenomen en moet een passende stop-loss worden toegepast

Een longpositie met een entry tegen de prijs van de perstijd [$ 11.354] en een stop-loss van $ 11.266 [aan de basis van de wimpel] zou voldoende zijn om vluchtige bewegingen op korte termijn op te vangen.

De pool van de wimpel gaf aan dat de theoretische take-profit-niveaus $ 11.753 bedragen [een stijging van 3,74% ten opzichte van de prijsniveaus van de perstijd]. Aangezien dit een make-or-break-scenario is, moet ook voor de nadelen worden gezorgd.

Daarom, als de prijs lager wordt om een ​​Bart-patroon te vormen, zijn er twee belangrijke ondersteuningsniveaus, zoals weergegeven in de bovenstaande grafiek. De eerste zone varieert van $ 11.104 tot $ 11.014. En, hoewel onwaarschijnlijk, varieert de tweede zone van $ 10.945 tot $ 10.832.

Op het moment van schrijven had de prijs al een positieve uitbraak bevestigd. Daarom zou een verlangen naar [$ 11.416, een onmiddellijke weerstand] ook vergelijkbare winsten opleveren.

• A bitcoin sofreu uma forte queda desde seus máximos de US$ 12.500, estabelecidos em agosto.
• A moeda agora é negociada por $10.500, tendo caído tão baixo quanto $9.800 há apenas algumas semanas.
• A bitcoin está atualmente se consolidando entre $10.000 e $11.000, mal se desviando desta faixa.
• Alguns temem que esta ação de preços seja precursora de outro evento de capitulação, como visto no final de 2018.
• Um analista na cadeia afirma que este não é o caso: ele diz que a Bitcoin permanece em um mercado macro de touro.
• Este analista previu o recuo para $9.800 semanas antes que isso acontecesse.
• Ele diz que há um potencial de retorno para a Bitcoin a curto e médio prazo.

BITCOIN AINDA EM UM MERCADO DE TOURO; A CAPITULAÇÃO JÁ ACONTECEU

Willy Woo, um analista de crypto-asset, pensa que Bitcoin permanece em um mercado de touros, apesar da forte queda no início deste ano. Ele atribuiu as „oscilações selvagens“ do BTC aos mercados de derivativos de moeda criptográfica, o que pode exacerbar a volatilidade devido à natureza da alta alavancagem desses contratos:

„A capitulação aconteceu no ano passado a $3k, temos estado em um mercado de touro desde então, tem sido apenas camuflado pelos comerciantes de BitMEX com os balanços selvagens que eles criam. $4k->$14k foi a mãe de todos os apertos, o retorno à valorização orgânica levou algum tempo“.

Sua afirmação de que Bitcoin está em um mercado de touros apesar da fraqueza dos preços no curto prazo tem sido ecoada por muitos outros observando o espaço, incluindo Raoul Pal da Real Vision.

Estes comentadores afirmam que os fundamentos predominantes emprestam à valorização dos preços BTC, em oposição a um retracement.

O QUE VEM A SEGUIR PARA O BTC?

Quanto ao que se segue para a BTC, Woo é otimista.

Ele tem explicado nas últimas semanas que as tendências na cadeia, nas quais ele é especialista, sugerem uma reversão para o lado positivo:

„Enquanto isso, os fundamentos na cadeia estão mostrando mais investidores novos do que a fase de mania do último ciclo (dezembro de 2017), sem que isso se reflita no preço“. Isto porque os jogos de negociação sem restrições em plataformas de derivativos estão mantendo o preço baixo. O CFTC acaba de anunciar que estão diminuindo o volume nas bolsas de derivativos não regulamentadas e seu domínio sobre o preço. O BTC vai estourar“.

Como ele explica, o influxo de novos usuários para o espaço BitQT provavelmente vai impulsionar o capital para o BTC, elevando assim os preços.

Woo também apontou que recentemente houve um pico de BTC mudando de mãos na cadeia, sugerindo uma iminente inversão de tendência.

O analista fez uma previsão no final de agosto de que a moeda criptográfica cairia para os altos US$ 9.000. Ele provou estar correto apenas uma semana depois, quando o ativo caiu para tão baixo quanto $9.800.

Sua previsão se tornará realidade novamente, significando que Bitcoin se moverá mais alto a partir daqui.

De schatkist heeft gewaarschuwd dat het betalen van losgeld aan een groep die banden heeft met een gesanctioneerd land kan worden beschouwd als een schending van de sancties en kan leiden tot vervolging.

Hackers uit Noord-Korea en Rusland zijn de afgelopen jaren afbetaald, die beide worden gesanctioneerd
Volgens het Amerikaanse ministerie van Financiën zouden verzekeringsmaatschappijen die cybercriminelen uitbetalen namens bedrijven in het geval van een ransomwarevraag, sancties overtreden. Een golf van hacks gevolgd door ransomware-eisen in de afgelopen jaren hebben ertoe geleid dat verzekeringsmaatschappijen het losgeld hebben betaald, meestal in Bitcoin Investor, maar de schatkist heeft nu gewaarschuwd dat als bewezen is dat de hackers gelinkt zijn aan landen op de Amerikaanse sanctielijst, verzekeringsmaatschappijen dit zouden kunnen doen geconfronteerd met zware straffen.

Ransomwareverzekering heeft meer dan ooit nodig

De waarschuwing aan verzekeringsmaatschappijen kwam van het Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) van de Treasury en het Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) en verwees naar het groeiende aantal gevallen van ransomware waarbij betalingen in Bitcoin worden geëist.

De betalingsvereisten voor ransomware zijn toegenomen tijdens de coronaviruspandemie, omdat steeds meer mensen vanuit huis werken, waardoor hackers zich effectiever kunnen richten op online systemen. Reuters schat de gemiddelde ransomwarebetalingen voor Q2 op $ 178.254, een stijging van 60% ten opzichte van Q1.

Gesanctioneerde landen Prominente hackers

De waarschuwing van de Schatkist is geen loze dreiging. Het is algemeen bekend dat Noord-Korea een prominente cyberhacker is , met hun door de staat gesponsorde Lazarus-groep die de afgelopen jaren honderden miljoenen dollars heeft binnengehaald via ransomware-eisen en cryptocurrency-hacks.

OFAC citeerde cyberaanvallen uit 2015 die vervolgens werden herleid tot hackers in Noord-Korea en Rusland, twee gesanctioneerde landen, en heeft benadrukt dat bedrijven die zich bezighouden met gesanctioneerde landen of bepaalde personen uit die landen vervolgd en bestraft kunnen worden.

De herinnering plaatst verzekeringsmaatschappijen in een moeilijke positie en kan resulteren in dekking in verband met het weghalen van ransomware, waardoor bedrijven de baby achterlaten als ze gehackt zouden worden.

L’analyste et commerçant de crypto Josh Rager dit qu’il conserve un altcoin jusqu’à ce qu’il atteigne 100000 dollars.

Rager dit à ses 80000 abonnés sur Twitter qu’il pense que YFI a une tonne d’espace pour se développer, s’il peut résister à l’envie de prendre des bénéfices

« J’ai acheté trois YFI pour environ 2 500 $. Vendu trop tôt dans les deux sens… La valeur combinée pourrait être proche de 50 000 $ en ce moment. Mais gardez-en un et ne vendez pas avant plus de 100 000 $. Plus haut actuel à ce jour, supérieur à 16 100 $. “

Rager souligne que YFI a déjà dépassé Bitcoin Era en termes de prix et qu’il l’a fait dans un laps de temps relativement court.

«Je suppose que 1 YFI équivaut à 1 BTC … Imaginez que vous achetiez du Bitcoin il y a un mois à 2 000 $ et qu’il atteigne sa valeur actuelle de 12 000 $. Tout le monde mourrait pour cette opportunité. Eh bien, YFI vient de faire ça.

YFI est le jeton de gouvernance du protocole de financement décentralisé (DeFi) yearn.finance

Il est surnommé «un agrégateur de rendement automatisé» car la plate-forme parcourt tous les autres protocoles DeFi, verrouille celui qui offre les meilleurs rendements et dépose les fonds dans ce protocole spécifique. Le processus permet aux utilisateurs de cultiver des protocoles qui génèrent les rendements les plus élevés.

Bien que YFI offre un cas d’utilisation attrayant, il existe toujours un risque de dévaluation massive. La plate-forme d’agriculture de rendement YAM a vu sa capitalisation boursière grimper à près de 60 millions de dollars le 13 août pour tomber à 0 $ en quelques heures, selon CoinGecko.
