Developed in 2012 by Toronto-based programmer Vitalik Buterin, and backed by an initial $18 million crowdfund, Ether (ETH) is a cryptocurrency that underpins a blockchain network called Ethereum.

Bitcoin hit a high of more than $60,000 in April, and the ups and downs since then highlight the cryptocurrency’s volatility in a time when more and more people are interested in getting in on the action. In the weeks between the most recent July low point and its high points in recent weeks, Bitcoin has risen steadily. Again, Bitcoin is very volatile, so these ups and downs are par for the course.
Bitcoin–and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole–plunged this year, after a gravity-defying surge in recent years. The price of the digital coin hit nearly $20,000 late last year. And then in early 2018, it began to fall. Though it hit a few plateaus, the price has still tumbled; today it hovers at a little over $3,000.

Brooks suddenly joined Bitfury in August Binance US has ended Only 3 months after work. Binance US is an affiliate of the vast Binance Cryptocurrency Exchange, which is under severe pressure from major regulatory agencies around the world.
Laith Khalaf, financial analyst at investment platform AJ Bell, previously told The Sun that although long-term investment is encouraged, SafeMoon "doesn't sound too different from a pyramid selling scheme".
Jed McCaleb helped spread Bitcoin’s prominence in the industry’s early days as a result of starting Mt. Gox, a place that frequently hosted Bitcoin trading — despite its original function as a hub for fans of a game called Magic: The Gathering. However, it was rendered infamous when the platform fell apart in 2014.
The network’s miners then check the hash to see if the unconfirmed block is valid. This is a time for celebration among crypto miners because the proof of work has finally been completed. From the user's perspective, this essentially implies that the sender's cryptocurrency transfer to the receiver has been confirmed and will be added to the blockchain as part of the block.
Last year, a California man pleaded guilty to a mining fraud of at least $722 million through the BitClub Network. In February, a New York man pleaded guilty to running a Ponzi-like hedge crypto fund that stole about $90 million from more than 100 investors.
It seems all too fitting that Facebook’s plans to launch a digital coin were leaked in the second-to-last week of a year that saw the tech giant’s reputation pummeled and cryptocurrencies crash and burn. It’s like grilling a shit sandwich over a dumpster fire.
