I present a model of cryptocurrency price formation that endogenizes both the financial market for coins and the fee-based market for blockchain space. A cryptocurrency has two distinctive features: a price determined by the extent of its usage as money, and a blockchain structure that restricts settlement capacity. Limited settlement space creates competition between users of the currency, so speculative activity can crowd out monetary usage. This crowding-out undermines the ability of a cryptocurrency to act as a medium of payment, lowering its value. Higher speculative demand can reduce prices, contrary to standard economic models. Crowding-out also raises the riskiness of investing in cryptocurrency, explaining high observed price volatility. 05 November 2021 Refinancing cross-subsidies in the mortgage...

Bitcoin’s surge to $69,000 took bears by surprise and cemented bulls expected $400 million profit at Friday’s $1.2 billion options expiry.
“I like the word ‘moon,’ because that’s where I want it to go,” Portnoy said in his purchase announcement.
However, while there are some organisations that accept it as currency, others shy away due to Bitcoin’s dramatic price swings. Driven largely by speculation, the price per Bitcoin rose sharply from $1,151 in January 2017, to an all-time high of $19,783 in December the same year.* It then dropped to below $7,000 by February 2018 and rallied again to around $11,000 over a matter of days, before plunging once more to trade below $4,000. Subsequently, one of the key characteristics of Bitcoin that traders should understand is its potential for extreme volatility.

The Binance international exchange offers a huge variety of cryptocurrencies. This includes the top 20 coins such as Bitcoin, Ether, and Ada. In addition, Binance also offers several hundred less well-known altcoins. Binance also offers many trading pairs. In total, Binance offers exchange in over 500 cryptocurrencies and trading in more than 1200 trading pairs.

Squid, which marketed itself as a "play-to-earn cryptocurrency", had seen its price soar in recent days - surging by thousands of per cent.
Satoshi Nakamoto. A pseudonym for an individual or group that introduced Bitcoin in late 2008 in a white paper published via a mailing list for cryptography. To facilitate transactions, bitcoins can be divided into miniscule units. For example, there are units as tiny as a millionth of bitcoin, or even a hundred-millionth of a bitcoin, which is called a satoshi.
And, importantly, just because cryptocurrency is secure does not make it safe. As much as some of the recent popularity of cryptocurrency is driven by investors’ belief in its value, that value is still based on speculation. For those who invest in crypto, it will be among the riskiest investments they make.

Yet some crypto watchers have raised red flags over SafeMoon’s unusual structure. It charges a 10 per cent fee to buy tokens and another 10 per cent 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. After 19,000% early gain, crypto SafeMoon’s rules to tamp down selling raise red flags Back to video
With its hourly RSI nearly bottoming out at around 30, there is a case for optimism. However, to resume bullish movement, FTM will need to hold $2.5 and the nearest resistance at $2.72, based on a 50% fibonacci retracement. It will then need to claim the $2.87 level in the short term. Should it succeed, the key daily level of $3.18 is attainable.
