Crypto market capital shoots to $2.34 trillion with Ethereum occupying 20% of crypto economy
.
I present a model of cryptocurrency price formation that endogenizes both the financial market for coins and the fee-based market for blockchain space. A cryptocurrency has two distinctive features: a price determined by the extent of its usage as money, and a blockchain structure that restricts settlement capacity. Limited settlement space creates competition between users of the currency, so speculative activity can crowd out monetary usage. This crowding-out undermines the ability of a cryptocurrency to act as a medium of payment, lowering its value. Higher speculative demand can reduce prices, contrary to standard economic models. Crowding-out also raises the riskiness of investing in cryptocurrency, explaining high observed price volatility. 05 November 2021 Refinancing cross-subsidies in the mortgage...

The decision to buy cryptocurrency should always have a long-term outlook, as crypto prices can be particularly volatile. Safemoon is no different, as in its short lifespan, the price has already exhibited some significant price swings. To get a better sense of Safemoon’s outlook, let’s take a look at the technical and fundamental factors that could shape price in the future.

Cryptocurrency trading is the act of speculating on cryptocurrency price movements via a CFD trading account, or buying and selling the underlying coins via an exchange.

Many lesser-used cryptocurrencies can only be exchanged through private, peer-to-peer transfers, meaning they’re not very liquid and are hard to value relative to other currencies — both crypto- and fiat.

With all these shortcomings when put against most of the competition, Safemoon is definitely in trouble. There is a lot that Safemoon team needs to do to make the coin competitive. Otherwise, few people will be interested in this Safemoon. This means low demand, and that's how Safemoon's coin value will crumble.
There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies available today. The most popular — and the original — is Bitcoin, which was created in 2009. Other common cryptocurrencies include Ethereum, XRP, and Bitcoin Cash. Each of these currencies serves a different purpose, with some optimized for use in place of cash, and others designed for private, direct transactions.
“Altcoin” refers to any blockchain-based cryptocurrency that isn’t Bitcoin. The term “altcoin” was coined as a shorthand for “alternative to Bitcoin,” and the vast majority of altcoins were created to improve Bitcoin somehow. Namecoin, Peercoin, Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum and USD Coin (USDC) are examples of altcoins.
For users of Binance.US, while liquidity is not a major issue, Binance does support more liquidity, enabling faster transactions and trades, something which is important for the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange. Still, the U.S. platform is still to catch up when it comes to providing users with the same amount of liquidity and ease when trading.
But to understand the dynamic that led to this year’s depressing year for crypto, we actually should start a few years before 2018. In bitcoin’s early days, Mt. Gox was the go-to service for handling transactions. Then, in 2014, it halted transactions and slowly copped to a crypto-hack to the tune of $473 million, the biggest hack of its kind at the time, and it gave many people pause. But it was still early enough for people to believe that the blockchain system was still getting all the technical kinks out.
