Ahead of the SafeMoon wallet release, its eponymous native token’s price was on a steady upward crawl. Beginning the week at $0.00000184, it made its way up to $0.00000365 by August 28. However, this proved a brief moment in the sun for SAFEMOON as two hours after the wallet’s intended release, the price crashed back down to $0.00000292. From this figure, the token’s value has continued to tumble. At time of press, SAFEMOON was down 22.2%, with a value at that time of $0.00000281.
Cryptocurrency has come a long way over the last decade, advancing at a lightspeed pace. Value can be stored, transferred and spent in different ways through various assets and solutions, while DeFi has pioneered the way for new borrowing and lending avenues.

But no true cryptocurrency emerged until the late 2000s when Bitcoin came onto the scene.
The cryptocurrency investment giant has also seen “massive” options volume as gold takes a fresh beating and institutions seek Bitcoin exposure.

BTC to BITO: the original cryptocurrency, and the promise and limitations of Bitcoin ETFs
Cryptocurrency developers build these protocols on advanced mathematics and computer engineering principles that render them virtually impossible to break, and thus to duplicate or counterfeit the protected currencies.
We’ve seen Bitcoin hit multiple new all-time high prices, regulatory talks with potential to have big impact on the industry, and more institutional buy-in from major companies. All the while, people’s interest in crypto has skyrocketed this year: it’s a hot topic not only among investors but in popular culture too, thanks to everyone from long-standing investors like Elon Musk to that kid from your high school on Facebook.
Bitcoin (BTC) crashed to just $8,100 on Oct. 21 — but only if you were trading on Binance’s dedicated United States exchange, Binance.US.
While the current level of currency support leaves room for improvement, it is necessary to remember that it is still early to make the final judgment on the Binance’s policy, particularly regarding the outcomes of its initial implementation at the time of writing this Binance.US review. The platform advises holders of currently unsupported assets to use services of other custodians in any form (cold storage, hot wallet) while other currencies await approval.
One investor who wasn’t deterred was Barstool Sports Inc. founder Dave Portnoy. In May, he announced to his 2.6 million followers on Twitter that he’d bought US$40,000 worth, despite saying that SafeMoon could be a Ponzi scheme, a scam in which early investors’ returns are paid with funds coming from later buyers that collapses when new deposits dry up or too many people try to cash out.
Its competitors, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu faced several lows for months and years straight but are at a different position now. SafeMoon could walk the same path as its competitors and would find a ‘breakout’ all of a sudden.
Bubbles are complex dynamics. What they all have in common, however, is they require emotion to truly go parabolic. Moreover, the less we understand the object of the bubble, the greater the scope for greed and FOMO to fill in the blanks.

Cardano (ADA) broke and closed above the downtrend line on Nov. 9, indicating that the selling pressure is decreasing. The bears are currently attempting to pull the price back below the breakout level.
