Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called blockchain. They are tokens that can be used as a form of payment in exchange for online goods and services. They carry a pre-determined store value of their own, just like any other fiat currency like the US dollar or the Indian rupee. Cryptocurrencies are digitally mined, where very sophisticated computers solve extremely complex computational mathematics problems. Their mining is painstaking, costly and only sporadically rewarding.

As mentioned above, 4JNET pays its investors to hold on to their tokens. This is to prevent holders from dumping all of their holdings at the same time, thereby crashing the price of the asset. One way that 4JNET does this is through its decreasing service charge mechanism.

The spread is the difference between the buy and sell prices quoted for a cryptocurrency. Like many financial markets, when you open a position on a cryptocurrency market, you’ll be presented with two prices. If you want to open a long position, you trade at the buy price, which is slightly above the market price. If you want to open a short position, you trade at the sell price – slightly below the market price.

Meanwhile, Ethereum also hit a record — rising to $4,837.59, according to CoinMarketCap.
Mining computers compile valid transactions into a new block and attempt to generate the cryptographic link to the previous block by finding a solution to a complex algorithm. When a computer succeeds in generating the link, it adds the block to its version of the blockchain file and broadcasts the update across the network.
The longer term relationship varies over time. After exhibiting strong positive correlation in 2013 (where prices rose), and 2014 (where prices fell for a sustained interval), the longer term relationship between Bitcoin and Litecoin starts to break down around the middle of 2015. It can be seen in the accompanying price plot that at this point the Bitcoin price starts to gradually recover, whereas the Litecoin price does not.

8% Rewards in BUSDR: What's revolutionary about EverGrow's smart contracts is that 8% of every transaction is distributed among all holders of $EGC in BUSD. The most peculiar feature of EverGrow Coin attracting its community is its reflection in Binance USDs, apart from the percentage of reflection that is one of the highest in the industry. BUSDs are among cryptocurrency lovers' most trusted tokens because they take a step closer to fiat currencies. When it comes to cryptocurrency, stablecoins offer the best of both worlds by addressing volatility concerns while still providing the same digital advantage in transactions.
The BraveNewCoin aggregated index is chosen as the source of data for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero. The BraveNewCoin aggregated index is not used for Litecoin as their index for Litecoin only starts in April 2014 and misses earlier price action. Instead, Litecoin data is retrieved from the BTC-E time series. It should be noted BTC-E has recently (25th July 2017) been shut down by US authorities, however this is after the data interval examined. It has been observed that price differences do exist between cryptocurrency exchanges [19], and it is expected the BTC-E price over time will be different to other exchanges, however with the possibility of exchange arbitrage, prices on different exchanges are reasonably similar.
There is not one single location for Wikipedia views data over the historical data interval required. Wikipedia views data from the start of 2015 onwards can be retrieved using the official mwviews python library which connects to Wikipedia’s pageview API. Previous historical data can be retrieved in one month buckets from a separate website (http://stats.grok.de). Data was programmatically retrieved here from both sources, and then merged to produce a single time series.
