WTF is Exchange Staking?
Mining and trading used to be the most popular ways to make money on the cryptocurrency. Staking, a much simpler alternative, is gaining massive popularity. In this case, the user does not need to deal with the technical difficulties of mining or learn the trading intricacies.
Over the past two years, staking as a form of earning money on cryptocurrency began to gain popularity, as exchanges and wallets began to offer it.
In our latest story on Hackernoon, we try to get through exchange staking; it’s pros and cons, peculiarities and future, and how it can be one more alternative to ICO/IEO.
Can Facebook's Libra 2.0 Live Up To Its Promise?
Our Founder and CEO, Sergei Khitrov, shared his opinion about Facebook's Libra 2.0.
When Facebook first introduced the concept of Libra, their first digital currency, it looked promising. They designed the currency to become global and utilized a digital ledger, or blockchain technology, just like any other cryptocurrency. However, according to Facebook’s David Marcus, the executive who is leading its blockchain initiative, previously testified to the United States Congress that Libra’s intent is to become more of a traditional currency rather than cryptocurrency.
The remaining Libra Association presented changes into their original plan. Calling it Libra 2.0, the founders are now seeking to appease the United States government. The new Libra is apparently doing exactly what the United States government wanted. It is bringing in regulations, making it more centralized, and adding other features to make it more friendly with the traditional monetary system. The intentions of Facebook, Calibra and all the combined members of the Libra Association are crystal clear: they will not give up their idea of digital currency.
"Nowadays, many people still have doubts about the future of the world of cryptocurrencies. When such assets as digital Euro and digital Dollar will occur, all doubts will disappear. It will also make a great inflow capital on the market, and we know how bitcoin price reacts to such things.
The project will also compete with the Chinese Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP), and I think this is very good for the market. It will accelerate the development of the entire industry and bring even better technology." - Sergei said.

Bitcoin Has Held Over $10k for Nearly Two Weeks: What Happens Now?
Our founder and CEO, Sergei Khitrov, shared with Finance Magnates his opinion about the recent bitcoin surge.
He told that currently, “[…] there are still huge volumes on the market, and the market is constantly fueled by positive news and the growth of other cryptocurrencies.”
“In our opinion, the previous resistance level at $14000 may be tested in the second half of this year,”- Sergei Khitrov said. “And, of course, there is still a good chance that Bitcoin’s current momentum above $10k could come to a screeching halt–and even reverse. “It is always possible that a ‘Bart Simpson’ trading pattern will be repeated in case of negative news on the market,” Sergei told. “In this case, a retest of the level of $10,000 is quite possible, which remains a significant psychological benchmark. Falling below, it will mean the end of the recent bull run.”
DEX 2020: Is It Really On a Tear?
Since the launch of the Ethereum network, there have been a lot of rumors inside the cryptocurrency industry about the imminent collapse of centralized exchanges and the full transition to decentralized exchanges (DEX). Our analysts share the answer to the question of whether this can happen.
Despite all the problems associated with DEX, it became a new trend and gained trading volume much in mid-2020. Recent reports share that the total trading volume on Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) was over $4.3 billion, much higher than in previous months. The number of users of such exchanges is already comparable to the number of people trading on centralized platforms.
In our latest story on Medium, we try to get through the differences between CEX and DEX, its pros and cons, and what we think about DEX's future.
Bitcoin Records Fresh 2020 High: Updated Analysis
Our founder and CEO Sergei Khitrov shared with BloomChain his opinion about the prospects of further movement of bitcoin course and reasons for current growth.
"I believe that this is a series of interrelated events", - he said.
The first reason that led BTC to the current situation, according to Sergei, was the changes in the legislative control of cryptocurrencies towards their acceptance in the legal field.
"In some countries, this is a shift towards legalization of the cryptocurrencies. As a result, more and more people pay attention to digital assets and start believing in their future," Sergei explained.
Another essential point, in his opinion, is that the U.S. regulators have recognized BTC as a form of money. Such a precedent was announced recently in a decision of Beryl Howell, the Chief United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
One more reason is PayPal's ongoing work on implementing the ability to perform operations with cryptocurrencies within its services. The changes will simplify the process of buying and selling bitcoins. As a result, millions of system users will be able to interact with cryptocurrency.
Also, according to Sergei Khitrov’s interview, we should not forget positive news about the development of Libra 2.0 and digital dollar projects. The latter, he believes, will be able to attract even more people to the crypto industry. So, the rapid growth of BTC this summer is the result of a chain of interrelated fundamental events.
Is DAO a New Type of Organization or a Huge Trend for the Coming Years?
2020 year was announced as the year of the DAO in the FinTech industry. Still, most people who heard about the word have a hard job defining the concept.
Our analysts propose to use the original definition of Vitalik Buterin, who defines a DAO as “an entity that lives on the internet and exists autonomously, but also heavily relies on hiring individuals to perform certain tasks that the automaton itself cannot do.”
Beyond sheer diversity of DAOs, they display a similar key feature: the ability to facilitate the collective management of common goods, including cultural and intangible works, natural resources, economic and industrial production, and social systems.
Since the fall of The DAO in 2016, decentralized autonomous organizations have strayed from the spotlight. However, developments and experiments in this area never stopped.
So, we try to get what DAO is, and what has changed since the inglorious hack of the DAO, -
What is DeFi, or how did finance become decentralized?
For the last two months, the whole cryptocurrency industry has been strongly influenced by passive investment and lending narratives. Given the huge interest of traders and large organizations, these trends are likely to continue for a long time.
However, these ideas are far from being innovative - crypto lending platforms have existed for many years. Companies such as Celsius, Crypto.com, Nexo, and Coinloan (CeFi companies) have been providing credit services for the last few years. Although they are more decentralized than banks, such platforms still do not fully reflect the capabilities of DeFi.
So, in our latest story on Medium we try to get through the differences of DeFi, CeFi, its risks and aspects of this type of lending
How to Pick the Best Crypto: Cryptocurrency Ratings
To understand and find the best and reliable cryptocurrency, users and investors often turn to rankings: by actual price, by total market capitalization, by trade volume, etc. There are many aggregator sites for this purpose, such as Coingecko and Coinmarketcap, as well as Binance Info, etc.
But two rankings try to take into account technological and financial indicators simultaneously. This is the rating of the cryptocurrency unit of the rating agency Weiss Ratings and the rating of the center for the development of the China information technology industry (CCID).
Weiss Ratings is a well-known American provider of investment product data, which began operations in 1971. The rating of the Weiss Ratings agency’s cryptocurrency unit was released for the first time in January 2018. Since then, it is updated every week and presents a consolidated report on 123 cryptocurrencies and tokens. Weiss Ratings’ overall goal is to help avoid the hype and help lead investors to identify the cryptocurrencies with the best chances of surviving and succeeding in the long term.
The Weiss Crypto Ratings model is built with five basic layers that take data from the project’s technology, adoption, risk, and momentum. These layers then filter the information through in-house software models identifying each component in relation to the potential success or failure of the overall company.
An alternative to the Weiss Crypto Ratings rating is a regularly updated study from the China Information Technology Industry Development Center (CCID).
Projects are evaluated in three main categories: basic technology, applicability, and creativity. The rating is updated every month, however, due to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the updating of some projects has slowed, and the overall index has not changed much over the past months.
Therefore, while you work with these ratings, you should conduct your own additional analysis and study each project.
Listing.Help analysts explain why now is the best time for Listing
The current economic situation leaves much to be desired. Every day we get new negative macro forecasts from well-known organizations. However, during that time, we should think globally and try to look far beyond this economic crisis.
Listing.Help sees unexpected advantages in this challenging situation. Listing of projects on exchanges remains a high-demand service. However, not all projects can afford to start trading on top and well-known cryptocurrency exchanges at once. Now the situation is changing.
1) Many well-known exchanges (Hitbtc, Bithumb Global, Bitforex) aware of the current decline in the economy and the state of the cryptocurrency community and ready to give a helping hand to projects. The price of listing on them becomes much cheaper. The exchange management explained this position to us as a desire to help projects that reduce marketing costs and other expenses.
2) Moreover, Listing.Help wants to support this initiative from cryptocurrency exchanges and make additional discounts for listings. We build long-term trusting relationships with many projects, and we want to support such projects and help those who are haven’t yet been listed on well-known exchanges.
3) The price of bitcoin is another important factor for the listing price. There is a correlation between the price of bitcoin, public interest in it, and the cost of services in the cryptocurrency market. The higher the price of bitcoin, the higher the cost of many services both in bitcoin equivalent and in terms of the dollar.
Listing.Help sees unexpected advantages in this challenging situation. Listing of projects on exchanges remains a high-demand service. However, not all projects can afford to start trading on top and well-known cryptocurrency exchanges at once. Now the situation is changing.
Bitcoin is now trading 30% below its highs of last year. As a result, if listing on an exchange cost 3 BTC, then in dollar equivalent, such operation is now much cheaper.
The entire cryptocurrency community was waiting for the bitcoin halving and associate it with the rise of its price. As a result, we are likely to see an increase in the price of many cryptocurrency services both in bitcoin and in USD.
Listing.Help sees unexpected advantages in this challenging situation. Listing of projects on exchanges remains a high-demand service. However, not all projects can afford to start trading on top and well-known cryptocurrency exchanges at once. Now the situation is changing.
4) The interest in new projects entering the exchanges is now higher than ever. Representatives of exchanges explain this to us by a simple logical chain:
a. Currently, most of the world's population is on lockdown and turned to new types of income online;
b. Exchanges launched an extensive advertising campaign on the Internet and tryied to enter new markets (for example, the CIS and LATAM);
c. New users come to cryptocurrency exchanges. They often trade less with main crypto assets - Bitcoin and Ethereum, and more with altcoins;
d. As a result, new users turn their attention to all new projects that carry out listing on exchanges.
This tendency is easy to trace by increasing the number of registrations on platforms and the growth in trading volumes of many top tier cryptocurrencies and altcoins.
Our data shows that within the second half of March, which is when strict lockdown policies have been imposed in many countries, we've seen a 30% increase in new accounts," a Bitfinex spokesperson said.
The community's solidarity of the cryptocurrency community and the desire for projects to help each other during the crisis are the main trends of recent months. Thanks to supporting measures from large projects, a unique opportunity arises. Small startups can improve their position and get new connections despite all the crisis phenomena in the economy.
