CZ BINANCE CALLS FOR NEXT ALTCOIN SEASON: THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE FROM 2017



Altcoins have had a tough couple of months, especially when trading against Bitcoin, as most have marked tremendous declines. Bitcoin has dominated the market, accounting for more than 64% of its value. However, the CEO of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, believes that the next altcoin season will be bolstered by actual products and users.



The Industry Is Healthier



Perhaps one of the most common questions that the cryptocurrency community is looking to answer is when the new altcoin season will bloom. In the past couple of months, however, alternative cryptocurrencies have suffered as Bitcoin has dominated the market.
At the time of this writing, the BTC dominance rate stands at 64.6%. However, weighing in on the matter today was Changpeng Zhao, CEO at Binance, who argued that the next altcoin season would be substantially different from the one we had back in 2017.



What Zhao was referring to was the situation back in 2017 when thousands of projects began fundraising not by having actual products but rather by pitching whitepapers and investing in aggressive marketing. However, the hype was so strong back then that ICOs would raise millions in mere days, only to go underwater not long afterward.
According to CZ, this will no longer be possible, because the industry is much more mature now and people are a lot more cautious when buying into projects of this kind.

Signs of Hope For Altcoins?



Looking at the wider market, Bitcoin has showed slight signs of weakness in the past few weeks. As we said above, the BTC Dominance Index, which tracks Bitcoin’s relative share of the overall cryptocurrency market, stands at 64.6%.
In other words, Bitcoin ceded about two percent of the market to altcoins in the past two weeks alone.
It’s also worth noting that we could see green across the board today, as almost all of the major altcoins are marking slight increases.



It will be interesting to see whether the temporary weakness in Bitcoin can provide a boost for the suffering altcoins and whether Changpeng Zhao will turn out to be right in his beliefs.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

South Korea Won’t Tax Cryptocurrency Profits, For Now

Good news for cryptocurrency traders in South Korea as profit generated from crypto trading will not be subjected to tax, according to a recent announcement from the country’s Ministry of Finance and Strategy. The Ministry clarified that the current tax law does not consider crypto trading gains as taxable income; thus, Korean crypto traders are not required to pay taxes on the profits they earn from crypto trading for the time being.  However, crypto traders in the country may not be exempted from taxation for a long time. An official of the Ministry said that the Ministry is aware of the loophole in the current tax law, and they are currently reviewing the regulations in major foreign countries so that they can amend theirs in an effective way. “The income tax law is only taxable on income listed as taxable. We are preparing a taxation plan for virtual assets by comprehensively reviewing the taxation of major countries, consistency with accounting standards, and trend...

IN THE NEW DECADE, CRYPTO WILL BECOME ESSENTIAL LIKE EMAIL: SAYS TYLER WINKLEVOSS

It’s the start of a new decade, and industry famous twin Tyler Winklevoss, the co-founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange and custodian company Gemini Trust, has shared his views on what the next ten years hold for crypto. According to Winklevoss, crypto is already becoming more than a niche technology and a form of money, and it will play an essential role in our daily life in the foreseeable future. “Today, crypto is still a niche technology and a form of money. It is not crucial to your everyday life the way email and other web applications are, but our thesis is that this will change — it’s already changing if you look close enough,” Winklevoss wrote. Winklevoss added that the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, which empowers individuals, will be the driving force within the new decade. Crypto will not only redesign the internet but will also redesign the financial and monetary systems to protect the rights and dignity of users, he said. The Winklevos...
