A top official said Zimbabwe is looking to allow cryptocurrency as legal payment, according to a local report Sunday.
Yet some crypto watchers have raised red flags over SafeMoon’s unusual structure. It charges a 10% fee to buy tokens and another 10% to sell -- almost unheard of in the digital currency world. Half of these fees are paid to owners as an incentive to keep holding and the other half goes into a liquidity pool controlled by the developers. SafeMoon calls itself a DeFi token, or one that uses decentralized finance to govern functions through software, but it has a chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Critics also worry about the discretionary nature of the “manual” coin burns used to adjust its circulation.

Time will tell whether this is the case, but right now, the Safemoon price is trading pretty close to where it was in April 2021, right before the massive price increase. Since the all-time high of $0.00001094 back in May, the Safemoon price live dropped over 87%. Furthermore, the trading volume is extremely low, with CoinGecko reporting that just over $3.5 million worth of Safemoon was traded in the last 24 hours.
It’s impossible to determine at this point whether SafeMoon is a riskier investment than any of the other 4,000 or so active cryptocurrencies. Crypto skeptics like Megan Horneman, direct of portfolio strategy at Verdence Capital Advisors, warns investors to steer away from all digital coins, since they have no underlying assets and are threatened by regulatory oversight.
The cryptocurrency market is a vast and sometimes confusing place with different coins to choose from.
ANNALS OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE: “Alek Skarlatos, a hero soldier-turned-Republican congressional candidate, started a nonprofit shortly after his 2020 defeat in a western Oregon race, pledging to advocate for veterans ‘left high and dry’ by the country ‘they put their lives on the line for.’” But, The Associated Press’ Brian Slodysko reports, “the group, which Skarlatos seeded with $93,000 in leftover campaign funds, has done little since then to advance that cause.”

Safemoon is a cryptocurrency token that was launched in March 2021. The token is housed on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), a blockchain developed by Binance that runs parallel to the traditional Binance Chain (BC). The difference between the two is that Binance Smart Chain has smart contract functionality, opening up many avenues for decentralised applications (dApps) to be constructed.
Ether and bitcoin rallied on Tuesday to record highs off the back of a weaker dollar, taproot upgrade and positive investor sentiment.
(Bloomberg) -- To investors hunting for the next Dogecoin, the more than 19,000% price gain that cryptocurrency SafeMoon posted in its early weeks was like catnip. Though the price of the four-month-old token has dropped since then, more than 2.4 million investors have bought it, according to its developers.

Cardano is up over 9 percent in the last 24 hours and nearly 14 percent in the previous week. It is priced at around $2.23.
But whether that growth is sustainable, and what it means long-term, is still in question. “This crypto, blockchain technology, the public interest in it right now is being driven by a kind of speculative fever,” says Dr. Richard Smith, executive director of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, a nonprofit organization dedicated to studying recurring patterns throughout economies and cultures.
“That’s why my administration is marshaling a whole-of-nation effort to confront cyber threats.”
“What differentiates SafeMoon is that they’re putting this out there in the open for everyone to see, and are not trying to hide the fact that’s how the system works,” he said.
According to Stephen Innes, the head of Asian trading for the foreign exchange Oanda, hacks were the first element to have a chilling effect on crypto. Hearing the amount of money that thieves were able to take, he says, “Consumers got very concerned that their money could go missing.”
