The cryptocurrency market woke up to a shock in early trading on Thursday morning. On the Binance US cryptocurrency exchange, the value of Bitcoin (BTC) plummeted nearly 87 percent in value, settling around $8,200. The issue that caused the value spike was reportedly corrected swiftly and the Bitcoin value returned to its normal levels within a couple of minutes.
Bitcoin mining is raising concerns about its negative impact on the environment. According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, the industry consumes more electricity than the Netherlands and slightly less electricity than the United Arab Emirates.
There is a lot of volatility in the cryptocurrency space due to the industry’s newness. Investors are seeking to experiment with their money to generate riches quickly and figure out how cryptocurrency prices vary and whether they can affect them.
Subscriber growth is harder to track than the other metrics. Only the current subscriber count is displayed for a particular subreddit, and historical data cannot be rebuilt retrospectively as subscribers do not have a visible historical imprint. A third-party website, RedditMetrics (http://redditmetrics.com/), has been retrieving and storing real-time subscriber counts; however their data on the particular subreddits of interest only reaches back to 2012 so the subscriber growth analysis can only start at this point. Fig 2 shows the three social media metric time series for each cryptocurrency; note that subscriber growth is the only metric that can have negative associated values, caused by more users unsubscribing than subscribing on a particular day.

Brian Brooks, chief executive of the US arm of global cryptocurrency exchange Binance, said on Friday he had resigned just three months after taking up the role.
You can earn rewards through the exchange by holding certain coins in your Binance.US account — a strategy called “staking.” According to Binance.US, staking helps support the operations of these coins’ blockchains.
Binance is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao. Zhao’s professional experience before that point was in the development of advanced financial software, such as high-frequency trading software. He also served in an executive position at another cryptocurrency exchange, OKCoin.
Registering an account on Binance.US is a relatively straightforward affair and includes providing a user’s email address and password and interacting with a verification email.
Brooks quit his role at San Francisco-based Binance.US, citing "differences over strategic direction" in the Twitter post. He worked only three months at the company, which is the American counterpart to Binance — the Chinese company that operates the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume.
Another institutional hit for bitcoin–which probably had the most sustained effect–was the SEC’s refusal to approve a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This would be a path for more mainstream people in finance to dabble with blockchain; it would allow investors to dip their toes in bitcoin without owning the actual asset. Not only that, but it would make bitcoin available on the most prominent financial markets. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, has yet to allow such a fund to exist–mostly because it is unable to monitor crypto-transactions in order to avoid market manipulation.
