The collapse of the us stock markets occurred on October 23-24. Some companies, such as Ford and General Motors have fallen to indecent levels. Analysts attribute this to the autumn melancholy, poor reporting in the 3rd quarter, and other information turbulence. In fact, the us financial authorities continue to act decisively against the incumbent President. Synchronizing this action with the distribution of bombs to the most odious supporters of the democratic party, including Barack Obama, George Soros, and even Robert De Niro. There is a crisis of intelligence among the performers of registered shares on the eve of the elections on November 9. But the most interesting thing in is that for the first time in history, bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies have not responded to this unprecedented decline in the capitalization of the stock market. And it is 600 billion dollars. This is a small victory. There is a hope that with the next planned fed increase in the discount rate, the stock market and the bitcoin rate will have multidirectional vectors. That will mean that the flight of capital in government bonds will be less than in bitcoin. And then it will be the same To The Moon. Too bad it's not now. If only these 600 billion in cryptomarketcap...

Yesterday early rejoiced, the price again passed into a sleepy state. We have to wait. Let's see what we have for the remaining two working days. Let's hope some movement happens. In such moments, the main thing to wait and not to make rash decisions. Importantly, that growth be! 

The dynamics of Bitcoin came in a positive direction. We are seeing growth and this means that we will soon repeat the rise to the first goal of the month - $7,400. In such moments the main thing to wait and not make any sudden movements. Most likely, the rise will be quiet, as is often the case after strong news shocks. Waiting and watching. The second goal of the month is around $8,200.

A small team consisting of members of Waves community made an interesting project: https://liquidwave.io — this is a market-making service that allows you to increase the liquidity of any token issued on the basis of Waves Platform. Especially useful this thing can be for recently launched projects, so we recommend you to try.

Is there any doubt about the future of XRP and the prospects of xRapid, if Paul Dwyer himself runs a Corporation that operates in 34 countries on three continents and has more than 76,000 service points? Of course, a large Corporation like Viamericas would not use XRP without examining the possible legal implications of using this digital asset. Viamericas most likely decided that XRP is a service token and will be recognized by the SEC as such. Thus, there is reason to believe that XRP will be officially recognized as a service token, although American regulators have not yet made official statements. The mood in Ripple is clearly optimistic.

The arrival of institutional investors on the cryptocurrency market can harm this segment of the economy. Such investors can create conditions under which the crypto market will actually become "wall street 2.0", that is, it will be fully controlled by large players. As soon as the dominant position in the crypto market is occupied by investors with large reserves of assets, it will immediately lose its decentralization. Another threat to the market is the fact that 1% of large investors ("whales") keep 55% of all bitcoins under control. This provokes inequality in the distribution of digital assets between players. The institutionalization of the cryptocurrency will largely reorient the structure of management and distribution of tokens. As a result, we can say goodbye to the original vision of the technology.

The market is in standby mode. Apparently he's gonna need another news break. It is noteworthy that the price staunchly keeps just at the level of the upper limit of accumulation, in which the bulls made basic purchases. And we are inside the accumulation until we return. If we continue to steadily hold the line, it will mean that the price has already moved to a different level and the stock of "fuel", which was accumulated at the bottom, is enough for further upward movement.

Two more large companies have become members of the Ripple ecosystem. To payment system RippleNet joined the British trade and foreign exchange company MoneyNetInt. It will use the product's capabilities to handle its international operations. Another Finance company, Malaysian Moneymatch, will use the product from the Ripple team to transfer funds from Asia and Europe. The startup reported on the successful testing of the Ripple payment solution called XVII when transferring funds from Malaysia to Spain. It's a reason to buy, I'm sure.

With the beginning of the new week, we expect the activation of the upward movement, the first goal of the month - $7.400, the next - $8.200. Special changes in the dynamics are not noticeable, the only thing that can be said for sure is that there is no doubt in the future growth. This is already becoming clear to many, even the most ardent supporters of bears in Bitcoin.

Waves technology is constantly developing. Now, we’re releasing a new browser extension: Waves Keeper.

The new Waves Keeper browser extension turns your browser into a keychain that enables you to sign transactions securely on third-party web resources without entering your seed or password. So now, if a Waves-integrated website or dApp requires you to sign a transaction, you can do it with just a couple of clicks, right in your browser.

Your account information is encrypted and stored locally on your computer. It will never be accessed outside the extension and cannot be stolen. You can also add multiple wallets and switch between them easily. If you ever forget the password to your account, you’ll be able to restore it with your SEED phrase, just like the regular Client.

The extension will be particularly useful to developers who want to embed Waves functionality in their projects, because it supports the Auth and Payment APIs. For testing purposes you can switch between using it on MainNet and TestNet.

This is the first version of the browser extension, which currently works only in Google Chrome. In forthcoming releases we are planning to extend its functionality and develop a cross-browser solution, available for all popular browsers.

Hello guys! You know hell of a lot about Waves Platform, but we would like to learn a bit more about our community members. Please, fill this anonymous survey, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. All the results will be shared with the community. We do not collect your personal data: https://wavescommunity.typeform.com/to/kjvkaX

If the investor believes that bitcoin will maintain its former growth rate, then 6% of the assets in its investment portfolio should be accounted for by bitcoin. If he believes that the growth rate will decrease by half, he should have 4% of bitcoins in the portfolio. But even if he's sure of much worse scenarios, he still needs to have 1%.

At the moment, the price descent has fully played the bearish potential of the figure. In fact, we have now descended to the upper limit of global accumulation. What's next? Most likely the price can go down a little more, bounce and then go to the side. It is likely that on the weekend we will observe a sluggish lateral movement. Starting next week, we are opening up the horizons for a new round of growth. And globally, we next focused only on growth, albeit monotonous and slow, but growing. Goals - first $7.400, and then to $8.200.

The Waves blockchain platform team introduced a browser extension that allows users to sign transactions in a secure way. To do this, they will not need to enter a password or private key. Waves Keeper will protect funds from malicious sites and programs. At the same time, if any resource requires the signing of the transaction, it can be done in a few clicks. It is expected that in November the extension for the Google Chrome browser will be released. Encrypted user account information will only be stored on the user's device and will not appear anywhere outside the extension. You can add cryptowallets to the product, and the password to the extension is restored by the key phrase.

The liquid Network sidechain is a long-awaited novelty for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem, which is moving forward, despite any difficulties. Bitcoin transactions are now fast and cheap, and the use of a combination of Liquid and Lightning greatly improves the scalability of the coin. There are only such problems as the privacy of the main bitcoin network (possibly solved with the help of another sidechain), as well as the inefficient PoW-based mining process. It is very likely that the Liquid Network will be able to do much for the wide recognition and widespread use of bitcoin, and this will lead to an increase in the price.

The impetus for the growth of the cryptocurrency market can give a solution to the problem of scalability of the bitcoin network. If developers solve this problem, there is a high probability of a sharp increase in demand for digital assets. All markets focus on scalability. If it does not exist, then there will be no conditions for the growth of market indicators. At this stage, the bitcoin network can not compete with the leading payment systems Visa and Mastercard, as they have higher performance. However, bitcoin has a good potential to solve this problem. I am sure that within the next few years the blockchain of the main cryptocurrency will become much better than it is now, which will allow the network to process transactions faster than payment systems. In this case, the coin will pull up all digital assets, and the market value of cryptocurrencies will grow by about ten times.

Three of the five leading causes of death of the cryptocurrency: the project is abandoned, the low volume of trading, failure of ICO. All these are the symptoms of a project that few people are interested in and in which few are willing to invest. The main purpose of Waves is to help banks to improve the quality of services and to make them more useful to society. Although Waves launched only in 2016, the platform has already been home to a host of successful stories, including Tokenomica and Upcoin. I'm sure Waves will take own place in the first 10 cryptocurrencies. So I buy at the bottom and keep the coins in the long term.

If the next rally will be as effective as the past, the cryptocurrency market will easily make X10. During previous growth cycles, the news caused a surge in speculative investment. Now the market is waiting for concrete actions on the part of financial institutions — this will be the catalyst for a bullish rally. I believe that blockchain is a new step in the evolution of technologies, and cryptocurrencies are the highest form of money. For the industry to continue to grow, blockchain systems must find ways to increase scalability. If cryptocurrencies do not have scalability — cryptocurrencies do not have market makers, and, therefore, there is no liquidity.

The price of Bitcoin was forced to go on vacation. After such a pump, everyone needs to calm down a little and recover - both people and indicators. Therefore, in the coming days we will observe the sideways. As for the future plans, this is growth. And only growth. Multi-month accumulation of positions in the wide sidewall is the accumulation of bullish positions. This is a huge pool of money (market participants), which gradually bought and bought Bitcoin, forming the bottom of the market. And the recent lumbago is not accidental-it is an indicator of the accumulated forces that made the first test upward. This is the first blow to the future trend. This is the first signal that the market has changed the balance of power.

In my opinion, on the Ripple positively influenced by news from its developers: the start of commercial application of the xrapid payment platform, the launch of the MoneyTap payment application in Japan and the inclusion of the co-founder and former CEO of Ripple Labs Chris Larsen in the list of the richest people in the world according to Forbes magazine. Ripple also remains one of the most successful in the last month, adding 63% to the cost. The next targets for bulls will be resistance lines of $0.45, $0.54 and $0.58.
