Crypto news and update of the week

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Just to keep you guys updated with some of the crypto news this week.

I know lots of crypto news are coming out everyday, and it's so hard to keep get updated.So here are some of the top news that I think you should know from what I have learnt the past week.. I will share it once a week.

(1)Bitcoin fork

SegWit2x will happen on 28/12/2017 . This one is really big news as you can get free forked coins , just by holding your btc at an exchange wallet that support the fork coins ! it's crazy and it's basically free money!! For me , I have kept my tiny btc at binance exchange.

This one is another term that I only learned just yesterday.

(2)Airdrop (Ignis airdrop to Nxt holders )

This is also another opportunities to get free coins.If you want to know why they give away free coins, you might want to google to have a more depth knowledge .

So in short, if you have a nxt coin , you will be getting free ignis coins just by holding in an exchange . The equivalent amount of this airdrop is 1:0.5, that means 10 nxt =5 ignis coins.

Since a week ago , bittrex announced they will be supporting this airdrop. Since then the prices of both coins have gone increased.This is super risky as prices are very volatile and you might not be able to sell or buy during that period..

Note :IF you want to buy , you have to hurry though.. as If any NXT deposits you had sent to Bittrex are not settled (i.e. marked as pending) by 6:00 PM PT, on 12/27/2017 (1:00 AM on 12/28/2017 UTC), you may not be credited with IGNIS.

BUT AGAIN IT'S RISKY!!

This would be my first airdrop watch.. so I would see how it turn out..

(3)Kucoin exchange promotion

Kucoin is another exchange that is based in hongkong. And it's having promotions which I think is really great. I have recently created an account as I am holding a coin that is only listed in kucoin.

If you don't know who is john McAfee , he is the founder of McAfee , antivirus and he is a strong supporter of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Recently he has been tweeting coin of the day which make the market of the prices of that coin increases a significant amount and it's crazy.

And lastly this is not a trading advice rather sharing the news/ info .

I hope this article is useful , I also recently posted my first dtube video so come say hi and if you have any tips and news ..let me know in the comment. I know posting about crypto topic doesn't get much attention or curie support like my usual travel posts but I am so eager to share what I have learnt so I will be posting more. :D

Sort:  

John McAfee is like playing games with us who holds small crypto portfolio

I don't think I want to buy when he tweet though as the market crashes happen and very dangerous to buy, but fun to watch and learn from others .. but if he tweet on the coins that I hold, it would be nice .. especially tron yesterday, I believe is a long term coin.

haha offer him a profit percentage to tweet about the coins you hold

at least now the craziness is once a week.. haha

Pls explain the bitcoin fork I need to be part of it

hello in simple term ,a separation from bitcoin , coming out as a new coin, for e.g bitcoin cash etc and whenever it happen the exchange will give you the amount ration of 1:1. for details knowledge, you might have to google.. :)

Did not know all of this, very useful
i need to transfer my small amount of btc to binance too
thanks for sharing @aburmeseabroad

I recently find out about that too .. when I receive free bch at coinbase.. yeah let's see how! Glad it's useful for you.

I'm afraid to buy NXT - of course, it will be charged to IGNIS, but then the price may fall so low that I will still be in a strong minus.

Yes u r right ..anything can happen with the market .

I hope you didn't buy any NXT, it has been in a deep dive :P

No, I was sure that it would collapse in price :)
