🗞 What to Know Tron’s BitTorrent Token Airdrop This Week

Sunday, Feb. 10 — while Bitcoin (BTC) is managing to stay above the $3,600 price point for the third day in a row, other major cryptocurrencies are mostly in the red as the markets gradually roll back after short recovery, Coin360 data shows.

BTC has been trading sideways during the last 24 hours, but the coin is still above over its psychological threshold of $3,600 at press time. As Cointelegraph previously reported, the top currency gained over $200 in value on Friday, Feb. 8, hitting $3,691 at some point during that day.

Also this week, BTC daily transaction volume almost reached levels it had not seen since January 2018, when world’s top cryptocurrency was worth close to $20,000.

🗞 BTC Futures Volume Plummets Relative to Spot Trade Heading Into 2019

Research carried out by Tradeblock has found the combined trade volume across the futures contracts offered by Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) plummet relative to spot market volume during the second half of 2018.

With the burst of the 2018 bubble, however, spot volume fell by more than 70 percent when comparing January’s trade activity with average monthly volume posted during the second half of 2018.

While the volume of both the BTC spot and futures markets saw decline during September and October, November saw the combined spot markets post their strongest monthly volume since May, while the futures markets posted their second weakest month of the year.

🗞 Mt. Gox Creditors Neither Need nor Deserve This Kind of 'Hero'

Brock Pierce has launched his own bid for the civil rehabilitation of Mt. Gox, promising to pay out all current funds to creditors while also talking about issuing debt tokens or giving away equity in a resurrected Mt. Gox exchange. As noble as this may sound on the surface, there are strong reasons to question the credibility and motives of this proposal.

First, Pierce is basing this plan on a fresh assertion that he is the rightful owner of Mt. Gox, as a result of plans to purchase Mt. Gox from Tibanne immediately after the collapse in 2014, as well as claiming to have later purchased Jed McCaleb’s 12% stake.

🗞 Most Crypto Hedge Funds Aren’t Really Hedge Funds

If it walks like a VC, talks like a VC and acts like a VC, it’s probably not a hedge fund. And yet numerous crypto fund managers who’ve launched in the last few years have opted for the hedge fund model. Many of them probably should have gone with a venture capital structure.

Traditionally, hedge funds are measured on their performance over short, discrete periods of time. Months, quarters and years. This makes sense for established markets such as stocks. Price discovery is immediate – one can look up the price of Apple or Netflix pretty quickly.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

The STEEM is still in consolidation phase just under the resistance line but we should test this line again very soon. The perfect scenario would be a test and a sudden break out on the BTC. If these 2 conditions are present at the good moment, we will go quickly test the resistance line at 0.39$.

I came into crypto years after Mt. Gox incident. Personally I think it's better to just leave it an d learn from it than putting a media spectacle. One comment said it best

I did not stand outside of mtgox for a week in February snow and rain 5 years ago just to have yet another shady character take control of what's left of our funds. Any attempt to delay further should be rejected by the trustee, and certainly should be rejected by the creditors.

If Brock wants to buy intangible assets from the estate, such as the infamous Mtgox trademark or the wonderful php code that leaked bitcoins like a sieve, by all means make us an offer. But he better keep his grubby hands off our coins!!

I always try to be careful when someone acting benevolent is around. Most of the time it is better to pay than get handouts or free stuff.

Good Post, I like the way you describe ebverything, keep up the good work.

Yeah I was part of that airdrop.Althogh the ratio was very low.Something like 1:(0.11).Did not earn much profit from that.After the airdrop tron prices also fell so overall it was a loss.
