In Bhambhwani et al. (2019), we challenge the perception that cryptocurrency markets are simply plagued with bubbles and speculative trading by identifying two key blockchain measures that affect cryptocurrency prices. Specifically, theory suggests that the trustworthiness and the transaction benefits of a blockchain are important determinants of cryptocurrency values. Pagnotta and Buraschi (2018) link trustworthiness to the computing power devoted to the blockchain. Biais et al. (2018) link transaction benefits of a cryptocurrency to the size of its network.
Blockchains typically function via proof-of-work (PoW) or proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithms. PoW operates based on miners who often designate specific computing machines for the process.

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.

Cryptocurrency existed as a theoretical construct long before the first digital alternative currencies debuted.
The week has been much more successful for some of SAFEMOON’s fellow DeFi tokens. Kava.io (KAVA) hit an all-time high on August 22, and data indicated that it has made a couple of further attempts to reach those heights since. In addition, Terra (LUNA) also achieved its latest all-time high, hitting $36.61 in the morning of August 29. This milestone is the result of an impressive total growth of nearly 30%. It also brings the token closer to a spot in the top 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. LUNA is currently ranked 11th.
