Bitcoin (BTC) is the preeminent cryptocurrency and the first to be used widely. However, hundreds of cryptocurrencies exist, and more spring into being every month.
No intermediaries. Unlike fiat, virtual currency transactions are conducted directly between two parties, on a peer-to-peer basis, using a decentralized computer network that involves no banks or other intermediaries. Trust in the system is based on digital proof, or the ability of users to access a permanent record of all of the transactions that have taken place.

It is also the case that not all of Binance services are available in every country. One such country, while perhaps surprising, is the U.K. As of mid-2021, as the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) ruled that the company’s U.K. arm is unable to conduct regulated activity, it has had a knock-on effect for U.K. users.
That seems to be the overall message from most. Even Innes, who has been critical of bitcoin and crypto-trading for quite a while, admits that this doesn’t mean the blockchain is bunk. He, in fact, sees things looking up. “If this base can hold,” he says, “[the price will] start drifting up.” But not because of fervor or blind faith that bitcoin is the future, but due to advances on the technology side.
In 2016, this became apparent with the DAO hack. One way to fix the problem was to implement what’s known as a “hard fork,” which would essentially update the Ethereum-based software to fix the technical gaffe that caused the hack to begin with. But DAO users had to agree to this change, and there were dissenters. Though the hard fork was approved, it created two active blockchains with two different sets of rules. Ultimately, this hack–coupled with the inability to deal with it–caused the DAO to end in 2016.
Very generously our tweeter credits another crypto fanatic for the remarkable analysis, who had drawn up his own chart just days earlier:

Income tax: Profits and losses from cryptocurrency transactions must be shown in a non-incorporated business’s accounts and are taxable/allowable under conventional income tax laws.
One example is the negative correlation that occurs between Ethereum and its associated factors around June 2016 (left facing arrows at the top and just left of the horizontal middle of the Ethereum scalograms). During this time interval, one of the most well-known applications at the time, the DAO, built on top of the Ethereum environment, was hacked. It can be seen that all factors are negatively correlated in the short term with the price during this time interval. As a result of the uncertainty generated by the hack, price dropped sharply, but activity on social media and interest increased (causing the negative correlation). The negative relationship can be seen during the 2–4 day band for all factors.
Verdict: Binance is the obvious winner when it comes to liquidity. It has been around for a longer time and has grown into the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. However, over the course of just a few years, Binance.US has grown into one of the top U.S. crypto exchanges. The future certainly looks bright for Binance.US.
As of 8am ET on Thursday morning, it was slightly up in early trading. Bitcoin, however, was down under $65,000 at 8am ET, according to CoinBase.
We should also point out that if we had been given labels on the Y-axis (which obviously we are not), it might become clear that these “daily Covid cases” refer to US Covid cases. Because while a US chart looks exactly like the one above, a chart showing worldwide Covid cases doesn’t; instead it looks like this (according to Google):

Blocks are linked together by cryptography – complex mathematics and computer science. Any attempt to alter data disrupts the cryptographic links between blocks, and can quickly be identified as fraudulent by computers in the network.
