The SafeMoon coin has been making top predictions for months now, and it won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Forecasting site WalletInvestor predicts that the price could reach $0.000002 by November 1st, while Gov Capital forecasted its value will dive to zero in May 2022.

A cryptocurrency is, most simply, a digital asset. It is called a currency because it was created to work as a medium of exchange in the same way that we use fiat currencies now.
The difference between a digital currency and a cryptocurrency is that the latter is decentralised, meaning it is not issued or backed by a central authority such as a central bank or government. Instead, cryptocurrencies run across a network of computers. Digital currencies have all the characteristics of traditional currencies but exist only in the digital world. They are issued by a central authority.

In late 2012, WordPress became the first major merchant to accept payment in Bitcoin. Others, including online electronics retailer Newegg.com, Expedia, Microsoft, and Tesla followed. Countless merchants now view the world’s most popular cryptocurrency as a legitimate payment method.

Though the price of the four-month-old token has dropped since then, more than 2.4 million investors have bought it, according to its developers.

Since trading fees do not directly relate to the products traded, U.S. regulations do not apply to the fees Binance.US charges. As a result, Binance.US offers the same low fees and discounts as its parent company. Binance.US is one of the market leaders in the United States in terms of low fees, even without considering the discounts.
Binance.US is an American partner of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and which was founded in China in 2017. The original platform stopped accepting U.S. users in 2019, and announced it would instead partner with a U.S.-based version of its platform called Binance.US.
Each asset holds a value, often priced in U.S. dollars, which leads to another use case: trading and investing. Aside from stablecoins — which seek to stabilize the instability of cryptocurrencies by pegging an asset to something else, such as the U.S. dollar — most cryptocurrencies constantly fluctuate in price. You can trade between cryptocurrencies and national currencies (called fiat currencies) on exchanges, depending on the trading pairs available on the platform of choice.
