Who’d be a crypto forecaster?

Back in January, experts had Bitcoin pegged for a value of $43,370 on average by December 31.

At the time, BTC was riding highs of around $18,000. But even in March, when Bitcoin was valued at half that, the panel was confident it could still hold out for $38,000 by the end of 2018.

This month, with Bitcoin still nudging $9,000, the outlook isn’t so rosy from the finder.com.au team. They’re now tipping it can reach $18,883 by December 31 — still a hefty increase on today’s price, but certainly a lot wobblier outlook than at any other time this year.

The June Cryptocurrency Predictions Report was compiled by finder’s 10 crypto experts. You can read more about who they are and what coins they hold here. And out of the 13 coins they ran the ruler over this month, none are expected to be worth less by December 31.

Two, however – Iota (MIOTA) and Monero (XMR) – are tipped to fall 8% and 7% respectively by July 1.
Dogecoin, which in March and April was the panel’s favourite and listed as having the potential to rise anywhere between 3,000% and 5,000%, isn’t even on the list of 13 this month.

Of the winners, the panel has picked out EOS (EOS) as having the best shot at high growth, tipping a possible 206% rise on its price of $16.42 at the end of May.

That would put it at $50.27 by the year’s end.

EOS is the token offered in an ICO by blockchain company Block-one, which helped it recently complete a staggering $4 billion year-long funding round and lure Commonwealth Bank’s former chief financial officer, Rob Jesudason, to Hong Kong as its chief operating officer.

Tron (TRX) is expected to have the second-greatest positive price growth by 31 December of 146%, followed by Cardano (ADA) at 145%.

When comparing the forecast market capitalisations for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum, Bitcoin is predicted to see the highest growth by the end of the year, at 99%.

This was followed by Ethereum with a 91% increase, and Bitcoin Cash, with an increase of 76%.

ඉතා පැහැදිලි මේ කෙයින් මිලදී ගැනීමට කාලයයි....පුලුවන් පුලුවන් විදියට ගන්තා නම් හරි....

thank you I got token... best wishers for Project

On July 2018 Bitcoin may heavily boost its price. We assume as high predictable a mass adoption of this cryptocurrency next months. We expect on July 2018 a Bitcoin rise with a strong capitalization and consequently a concrete value per coin increase.

https://toshitimes.com/international-monetary-fund-suggests-cryptocurrency-could-replace-fiat-currencies/

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has published a new report on the issue of global monetary policy in an age of increasing digitization. No such report in 2018 would be complete without a mention of cryptocurrency, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts will be intrigued to learn that the report is indeed centered around virtual currencies. Most notably, however, the report comes to the conclusion that cryptocurrency assets may ”reduce the demand for central bank money”.

This report was produced after IMF staff discussions, which supposedly touched on the possibility that virtual currencies could one day reduce the demand for fiat currencies, by creating a ”shift from credit money to commodity money”. This is not the first time that the International Monetary Fund has shown interest in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. IMF’s Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, has heaped praise upon virtual currencies, likening the upcoming adoption of virtual currencies to the introduction and adoption of the personal computer, and the IMF recently used a picture of Bitcoin on its website to illustrate the ”next evolution of money”. Nonetheless, the IMF is intricately tied to the United Nations, and some may find it surprising that such an established international actor is seemingly speaking out in favor of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole.

The actual report went on to detail how recent financial crises and bank bailouts have led to general distrust of banks and established economic actors. The report highlights this as one of the primary drivers in increasing the adoption of digital currencies. Moreover, it also found that a potential ”payment shift” could dramatically alter people’s perception and adoption of fiat currency versus cryptocurrencies. The IMF report explains how money has through history seemingly been fluctuating between either being credit money or commodity money. Cryptocurrencies are a sort of commodity currency, and the IMF proposes that increased adoption of cryptocurrency would lead to a decreased demand for central bank issued credit currencies.

The IMF report noted, however, that cryptocurrency also has some hurdles to clear before it can be more widely adopted as a standard means of payment. The main obstacle is identified as being the volatility that some cryptocurrencies exhibit since the valuation of most cryptocurrencies is supposedly not “well anchored”. The report also goes on to suggest that a possible way for banks to counteract decreased demand for credit currencies could be through issuing cryptocurrencies of their own. These would be more stable than traditional cryptocurrencies, presumably akin to stablecoins. It remains to be seen whether the IMF report comes true, and whether or not central banks heed the report’s advice – however, the International Monetary Fund wields significant influence in the global finance sector.

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) has recently become a troubled cryptocurrency as it was marred by numerous attacks over the span of the last couple of months. However, the developers behind the coin are fighting back and have prepared measures to overcome the two main issues: overflow of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) miners and lacking resistance against hacker attacks.

The fix is a so-called “hard fork”, which has been often used in the crypto sphere already and spawned currencies, such as ethereum classic, bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold itself among others. The network upgrade will come in a form of BTG’s Equihash algorithm update, with the new version dubbed Equihash-BTG. According to the developers, most of the components for the upgrade are ready but still need some additional testing.

Back in October 2017, BTG was created as a result of a hard-fork on the original bitcoin blockchain. The BTG network changed its hash algorithm in a way that ASICs were useless as they were not able to mine it anymore. However, the mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain has since introduced the Antminer Z9 machine, designed specifically to mine virtual currencies built on Equihash proof-of-work algorithm.

The new Equihash-BTG version will require significantly more memory for the ASIC to run, rendering mining in this way “impossibly unprofitable”. A minimum 700MB of RAM and 2.5 GB in storage will be needed to run the updated algorithm.

The BTG team also touched upon the recent security issues claiming that “We’re also working hard on many fronts to improve security, both now and in the future. We’ve developed monitoring systems for our blockchain and our mining network, and have established channels to rapidly communicate risks to Exchanges.“

The hard fork will result in the BTG blockchain being far more resistant from 51% attacks. The developers claim that as soon as the upgrade is implemented and BTG is transferred on its own unique algorithm, the hackers will not be able to target the network.

Bitcoin Gold was targetted by the 51% attack very recently, in late May. It resulted in $18 million worth of BTG tokens stolen and more importantly a tarnished reputation of Bitcoin Gold. Zencash was subject of an analogous attack this week, suffering the loss of over $550,000 worth of ZEN tokens.

The Bitcoin Gold team finished their statement on a positive note, saying that 51% attacks are an inevitable part of the budding industry and developer teams across the crypto world are teaming up to tackle them.

According to the statement, “We can report that the crypto community is coming together and will be supporting each other as we work to get through these difficult times as quickly as possible.”

The undesirable territories include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Vanuatu and Yemen. These countries have been labeled as high risk by the Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories (NCCT) initiative, which has determined they are not doing enough to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other threats within their borders.

The ban is a part of a broader effort by Bithumb to protect its transparency and weed out fraudsters and other bad actors from its client ranks. It has come into immediate effect, with the exchange refusing to accept new users from the said countries from May 27th and onwards. Existing users from the NCCT countries have until June 21st to withdraw their funds as their accounts will be disabled then.

Bithumb is the 5th-largest digital asset exchange globally per data from CoinMarketCap, with its 24-hour trading volume exceeding $460m at press time.

According to the official spokesperson of the exchange, “The Bithumb team will voluntarily impose strict policies and cooperate closely with local financial authorities to increase the transparency in the cryptocurrency market and protect investors. With progressive voluntary policies, Bithumb will improve the global standard of cryptocurrency exchanges.“

The ban seems at least partially influenced by the recent events in Japan. Earlier this month reports have surfaced that Yakuza gangs have laundered hundreds of millions of USD, using the anonymous Zcash, Dash, and Monero cryptocurrencies.

Following the revelation, Japanese government formally requested the country’s exchanges to delist the privacy-oriented tokens. Although it must be said that only Monero can be classified as the truly anonymous virtual currency, since the majority of Zcash transactions are actually public, while privacy is offered as an additional feature on Dash.

There has also been significant pressure from South Korean authorities to implement additional security measures. The recently established Korea Blockchain Association recommended a number of know-your-customer measures in order to enhance transparency within the crypto industry. Additional rules to prevent market manipulation have also been introduced.

While technically they were recommendations, which means implementing them was not mandatory, it seems the exchanges had no other choice but to comply as they would face increased regulatory scrutiny otherwise. Even now, major exchanges will still be evaluated on a constant basis. Bithumb added that mobile ID verification process for international users will be implemented shortly.

I got 40 token thank you to team.... Well done

The EOSIO 1.0 mainnet has just been launched by the blockchain software publisher block.one. The EOSIO platform is intended to be used in order to allow businesses to rapidly deploy and develop blockchain-based applications. Moreover, the mainnet release has also seen the price of EOS surge, as some are calling the token ”the next Ethereum, but better”. Furthermore, there currently seems to be a substantial amount of potential in EOS, as block.one has recently partnered with a UK-based investment firm to launch a $50 million fund.

The open source publisher behind EOSIO, block.one, describes itself as concentrating on ”high-performance blockchain technologies”. The release of EOSIO 1.0 marks a significant milestone for the platform, which intends to become the first decentralized operating system which ”provides a development environment for decentralized applications”. The mainnet publication is a vital step towards realizing EOSIO’s full vision of blockchain infrastructure supporting inter-blockchain communication, self-describing interfaces and much more. The EOSIO 1.0 release brings a long series of different core functionality, such as free rate limited transactions, low-latency block confirmation, and a Web Assembly-powered smart contract platform.

This release of EOSIO also brings a massive amount of other functionality, which can seem a bit technical. For example, it also introduces low overhead Byzantine fault-tolerant finality, scheduled recurring transactions, time delay security, hierarchical role-based permissions, support for biometric security, parallel execution of context-free validation logic and much, much more. It is also designed to accommodate “sparse header light client validation”. This release has been much awaited by the general EOSIO community, and perhaps the most telling reaction of all is the dramatic uptick in EOS price following the mainnet launch. EOS is now trading up more than 15% following the release of the mainnet. This increase in price is arguably due to the massive potential seen by some in EOSIO, with community members heralding it as the ”new Ethereum” regarding future adoption and technical potential.

However, this is not the only positive news for EOSIO. EOSIO’s publisher, block.one, has also recently partnered with the London firm SVK Crypto, which is community-based investment firm that deals with cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. The two are looking to launch a new trading fund aimed to ”accelerate the growth and development of the EOSIO blockchain ecosystem”. The fund will reportedly be valued at $50 million and will provide funds for projects building on the EOSIO blockchain platform, most notably decentralized applications (DAPPs). The mainnet launch and the upcoming EOSIO fund means that things would certainly seem to look interesting for EOSIO moving forwards.
