نامور کرپٹو ناقد نے بٹ کوائن کو بلبلہ قرار دے دیا، کہا جوا کھیلنا ہے تو لاس ویگاس جائیں

تاریخ شائع: 21 جنوری 2018 نامور کرپٹو نقاد نے بٹ کوائن کو ’بلبلہ‘ قرار دے دیا، کہا جوا کھیلنا ہے تو لاس ویگاس جائیں مصنف: جیفری رابنسن بٹ کوائن پر تند و تیز تنقید کرنے والی کتاب کے مصنف جیفری رابنسن نے جمعہ کو CNBC کو بتایا کہ ان کے خیال میں بٹ کوائن خریدنا سرمایہ کاری نہیں بلکہ جوا ہے۔ رابنسن نے "سکواک ایلی" پروگرام میں کہا، "یہ ایک بلبلہ ہے۔ یہ ایک دھاندلی والے رولیٹی کے پہیے کی طرح ہے۔ آپ کے لیے لاس ویگاس جانا بہتر ہے۔ وہاں کھانا بھی اچھا ملتا ہے۔" اپنی 2014 میں شائع ہونے والی کتاب "بٹ کان" میں انہوں نے بٹ کوائن کو "جعلی کرنسی" قرار دیا تھا اور لکھا تھا کہ بہت کم لوگ اسے استعمال کرتے یا قبول کرتے ہیں۔ اس کے بعد بٹ کوائن کو بطور ادائیگی کے طریقے کے مزید اپنائے جانے کے باوجود، رابنسن نے اپنے خیال کا اعادہ کرتے ہوئے کہا، "کوئی بھی اسے استعمال نہیں کر رہا۔" رابنسن، جو ایک تحقیقی صحافی کے طور پر مشہور ہیں، کا کہنا تھا کہ میڈیا بٹ کوائن اور دیگر کرپٹو کرنسیوں کو فروغ دینے کے لیے ذمہ دار ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا، "میں اس نیٹ ورک (CNBC) کو قصور...

Bitcoin- Dead Cat Bounce or Bottom In Place?

Is it still burning, or is there no more blood left to bleed? Bitcoin’s recent fall is a film we’ve seen before, with previous crashes in 2013 and 2014. Bitcoin is known for its volatility: when goes up, it makes your eyes pop, and when it drops, it makes your jaws drop. Bitcoin plunged below 10K yesterday, tumbled all the way to $9,186, pushing the monthly rout beyond 50 percent. There is no doubt that the cryptocurrency remains a very risky bet. One should only play with the money that one can afford to lose. Shutterstock The massive drop in Bitcoin’s price could be blamed on a lot of things. Visa suddenly decided to shut down some of the cryptocurrency cards. Regulators decided it is time to flex their muscles. BitConnect announcing its plan to close its lending and exchange platform added further fuel to the fire in the crypto space. The news from South Korea has also been an important factor: it may be difficult to see South Korea actually banning all its vir...

After a Terrible Start to 2018, Bitcoin Rebounds Above $11,000

After falling to  four digits  earlier Wednesday, Bitcoin prices rebounded above $11,200 as some investors bought into the dip. Demonstrating the  continued volatility  of the digital asset, the price of Bitcoin added some $1,400 over the course of less than half a day on the biggest U.S.-based exchange, Coinbase. That put it in the green for the day, rising about 1%. The cryptocurrency is still down roughly 19% this year to date with crackdowns in South Korea and China, as well as hacks and scam warnings  pushing away investors . South Korean regulators are said to be considering a ban on cryptocurrency exchanges, while China is reportedly considering shuttering apps with exchange-like services after banning exchanges outright in 2017. Bitconnect, a popular though controversial exchange, meanwhile, spooked investors Wednesday with news that it was closing down—raising concerns of a scam. Bloomberg  reports that the Lunar New Year, which usuall...

Bitcoin Plunges to $10,000, Half Its Peak Price, as Investor Fears Blossom

Bitcoin skidded a further 12% on Wednesday, marking an almost halving in value from its peak price, with investors spooked by fears regulators could clamp down on the volatile cryptocurrency that skyrocketed last year. The price of bitcoin, the world’s biggest and best known cryptocurrency, fell to as low as $10,0000 on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange, the lowest since Dec. 1. Bitcoin touched a peak of almost $20,000 in December — and indeed crossed over that threshold on some exchanges — but has since been roiled by several large sell-offs. Other cryptocurrencies plunged as well. Ethereum and Ripple were both down heavily after reports South Korea and China could ban cryptocurrency trading, sparking worries of a wider regulatory crackdown. “There is a lot of panic in the market. People are selling to try and get the hell out of there,” said Charles Hayter, founder of Cryptocompare, which owns cryptocurrencies. “You have more regulatory uncertainty…and because of thes...

North and South Korean Teams to March as One at Olympics

HONG KONG — North and South Korea agreed on Wednesday to have their athletes march together under one flag at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics next month and to field a joint women’s ice hockey team, the most dramatic gesture of reconciliation between the two nations in a decade. Seoul has said in the past that it hoped such a move could contribute to a political thaw after years of high tensions over the North’s nuclear and missile tests. The Games will begin on Feb. 9 in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the women’s ice-hockey squad will be the first combined Korean team for the Olympics, and the first unified team since their athletes played together for an international table-tennis championship and a youth soccer tournament in 1991. The two countries’ delegations will march at the opening ceremony behind a “unified Korea” flag that shows an undivided Korean Peninsula, negotiators from both sides said in a joint news release after talks at the border village of Panm...

Bitcoin Mining Could Power Growth For World's Biggest Chip Makers

Some analysts think mining can yield a 10th of TSMC’s revenue Demand will remain high so long as bitcoin’s price holds up Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.  is one of hundreds of companies that have benefited by supplying components for  Apple Inc. ’s iPhone over the past 10 years. Now the world’s biggest maker of bespoke microchips may see digital currencies like Bitcoin become even more important for its growth. TSMC stands to benefit big-time from a boom in cryptocurrency mining driven by Bitcoin’s 1,400 percent leap last year -- the same explosive growth that’s  bolstered  shares of designers from Nvidia Corp. to  Advanced Micro Devices Inc.  That’s a timely boost, as expectations for iPhone X shipments dwindle and Chinese smartphone demand tapers off. Crypto-mining could account for as much as a 10th of TSMC’s revenue in 2018, becoming its fastest-growing segment.  Taiwan’s largest company, typically a baro...

Bitcoin Mining Uses As Much Power As Ireland. Here's Why That's Not A Problem

Just a few years into the cryptocurrency revolution, bitcoin mining is already eating up an estimated 20,000 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. That’s roughly .1% of global generation, on par with the power demand of Ireland. The primary culprits are bitcoin mining appliances like the Antminer S9, which is a computer processor that does nothing but endlessly crunch algorithms to lengthen the blockchain. An Antminer draws a load of 1.5 kilowatts — enough to power  two refrigerators and a flatscreen TV . If you run an Antminer 24/7 for a year it will produce about 0.85 bitcoins, at a cost of about 15,000 kilowatt hours. Depending on your power prices it will cost anywhere from $600 (at 3 cents per Kwh) to $1,800 (at 9 cents per Kwh) to mine 1 coin. Even with bitcoin having plunged to $11,600 this morning, there’s still money to be made, assuming you can get your machines cheap enough. Walmart  sells  the Antminer s9 for $8,200. But what happens if the bitc...

Did Bitcoin Just Burst? How It Compares to History's Big Bubbles

Bitcoin’s recent wobbles have given fresh urgency to a question that’s gripped market observers for much of the past year: Will the cryptocurrency go down as one of history’s most infamous bubbles, alongside tulipmania and the dot-com craze? The magnitude of Bitcoin’s boom (before it  lost  as much as 48 percent from its Dec. 18 high) suggests investors have reason to be worried. As the chart shows, the cryptocurrency’s nearly 60-fold increase during the past three years was truly extraordinary. It dwarfed the Nasdaq Composite Index’s gain during the headiest days of the 1990s. Going further back, it comfortably outstripped the  Mississippi and  South Sea  bubbles of the 1700s. It even topped the Dutch  tulipmani a  of the 1630s, though that last comparison should be taken with a grain of salt given the scarcity of recorded tulip values. (The chart includes prices for just one varietal; consistent post-peak figures were u...
