Why Is Bitcoin Crashing? What Will Happen Next???

Why Is Bitcoin Crashing? What Will Happen Next???

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have appeared to be in a free fall. The falling cryptocurrency prices have dampened the celebration mood of retail crypto investors. Cryptocurrency prices fell along with stock markets after the Federal Reserve released the minutes of its December meeting in which officials discussed the possibility of earlier and faster interest rate hikes and shrinking the Fed's $8.3 trillion balance sheet. In this video, I will talk about all the possible factors that contributed to this dip we are having right now.

The DeFi gem revolutionizing trade, whilst reducing gas fees! (XFai)

The DeFi gem revolutionizing trade, whilst reducing gas fees! (XFai)

Most cryptocurrencies are idling on centralised exchanges (CEXs) and not generating returns for their holders. XFai is solving this problem with its unique decentralised finance (DeFi) platform by creating optimized liquidity and trading in decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The result of this is that trading your portfolio on DEXs such as Uniswap could be comparable, if not more efficient than on a CEX, all whilst reducing price slippage and solving gas fees for millions of traders.

We interview Taulant Ramabaja, Chief Scientist of XFai, to explore how their platform works and how they will help your cryptocurrencies work harder to get more returns.

Have they solved the scaling problem? (feat. Polygon Finance)

Have they solved the scaling problem? (feat. Polygon Finance)

Ethereum is currently the preferred blockchain development platform, but it has significant limitations. For instance, the network can get very clogged, and when this happens gas fees for transactions are very expensive. This prevents Ethereum from scaling i.e. being able to handle more projects building and running effectively on their network.  

Polygon Finance (formerly Matic) may have finally found a solution with their protocol and framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. We sat down with  Polygon's COO Sandeep Nailwal for a deep-dive into the technology behind their revolutionary solution.

THIS SECTOR is highly undervalued (feat. Hacken, HAPI)

THIS SECTOR is highly undervalued (feat. Hacken, HAPI)

Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin-related hacks resulted in losses of over US$3.5 billion in 2020 alone.   

With the popularity of decentralised finance (DeFi), it is common for billions of dollars to be locked into the project’s smart contracts in a matter of days. This makes them prime targets for hackers. Worse still, some projects “rug pull” their own investors and take off with their funds.  

This makes cybersecurity and smart contract auditing necessary for the continued survival of this space- and companies such as Hacken ($HAI) and HAPI hugely undervalued. We sat down with Dyma Budorin, to learn how they keep DeFi safe and how you can avoid losing your funds in hacks.  

BONUS: Stay tuned until the end to learn more about upcoming REWARDS for Hacken fans!

Leading the battle against Centralized Finance - Trustswap CEO Jeff Kirdeikis

Jeff's is leading the battle against Centralized Exchanges with the creation of Trustswap - a payment platform for different cryptocurrencies that offer multi-currency swaps, escrow payments, and crypto subscription payments. Jeff's passion stems from the lack of a good trustless system to perform timed payments - a role that Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is perfectly suited to perform. This has to lead to even more ambitious goals to produce a payment platform trades multiple currencies in a trustless manner.
