Google Finance Adds ‘Crypto’ Tab featuring Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash

by

Times are definitely changing for Bitcoin and the crypto industry as the bull market continued to heat up.

Crypto has been in the limelight for quite some time. But thanks to the massive institutional capital, the space has finally received the much-needed legitimacy. In the latest development, Google Finance has added a crypto-dedicated field.

Google Finance is essentially a data site maintained by the tech giant, hence this development is crucial for the digital currency ecosystem. This was first reported by ‘Documenting Bitcoin’ which also revealed that the ‘crypto’ is placed right at the top of the page among five default markets such as the US, Europe, Asia, and Currencies.

Here, the users of the platform can compare the aforementioned markets. The tool offers a rundown of real-time as well as historical data for Bitcoin [BTC], Ether [ETH], Litecoin [LTC] and Bitcoin Cash [BCH] with just a click.

However, the information for other top cryptocurrencies such as Cardano [ADA], XRP, Binance Coin [BNB], Polkadot [DOT] was not available yet on Google Finance’s website.

This video streaming platform had previously come under severe criticisms for banning virtual currency-focussed educational and news content. Several channels of prominent news platforms have been subjected to suspensions that have subsequently.

However, Google Finance’s move to enable users track the performance of various cryptocurrencies is a positive step as the asset class continued to witness massive investments from big institutional players and corporations.

Bitcoin Cash [BCH] came no where close to its all-time high of $4,355.62 that it achieved three years ago. While Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH] and several other coins surged past their all-time highs, BCH, XRP along with many others failed to do so.

Bitcoin Cash Endorsement Has Got Kim Dotcom Questioning The “Toxic” Nature Of The Crypto Community

by

Bitcoin Cash [BCH] managed to secure a lot of fans after Roger Ver aka Bitcoin Jesus went on to promote the coin. Over the years, several followed suit as Bitcoin Cash entailed a block size larger than that of Bitcoin. The asset is now widely being used for online payments, however, its popularity and value remain dainty when compared to Bitcoin [BTC]. The tiff between Bitcoin maximalists and the evangelists of other coins is not news, the Bitcoin Cash community seems to have added another person to their list.

‘Bitcoin Cash Is Great For Online Payments’, Suggests Kim Dotcom

German entrepreneur, Kim Dotcom sprang to fame after rolling out Megaupload as he bagged in millions of dollars. After trying his hand at crypto and failing, Kim Dotcom seemed to be joining the Bitcoin Cash community. He affirmed the same in his latest tweet.

This tweet triggered several members of the crypto community who began questioning Kim Dotcom’s latest move. The German entrepreneur pointed out that Bitcoin Cash functioned on low fees and was easy to use while being secure. While the Bitcoin Cash community and Roger Ver have time and again dissed Bitcoin for being “slow with high fees and unreliable transactions”, Kim Dotcom seemed to have joined the BCH gang. However, he suggested that he chose BCH over BTC as he considers BCH “great for online payments”, while BTC “is great to store value.”

Furthermore, Kim Dotcom went on to explain that he intends to bring in more people to the community through his “innovations, with my contact network and the incredible power of genius marketing”, he added.

The entrepreneur received backlash for his latest move but suggested that his stance was a result of the demands and necessities of users and vendors from the digital verse. A Twitter user even went on to ask the entrepreneur if Roger Ver had paid him money for this endorsement. To which Kim Dotcom replied,

“He sent me $1000 in BCH via text message to try the Bitcoin.com wallet. I then sent $500 in BCH to a friend via text message because I wanted him to see how easy this is.”

Back in September 2020, Tim Draper was subject to immense resentment for endorsing BCH. However, the venture capitalist affirmed that the endorsement was a result of a hack.

The repercussions of exhibiting support for certain coins seemed to be getting out of hand as Kim Dotcom suggested that healthy competition is good for the crypto-verse and those who have been preaching Bitcoin maximalism aren’t doing the king coin a favor. He added,

Bitcoin Cash Fork: Here’s What Happened

by

Following the much-awaited hard fork, the Bitcoin Cash network has split into two new blockchains, yet again, this time- Bitcoin Cash Node [BCHN] and Bitcoin Cash ABC. A lot has been said and done. This is the second time that an ideological battle between the two camps of a prominent coin had quickly escalated to a controversial hard fork. Here’s how the event unfolded:

Bitcoin Cash Node Emerges As The Dominant

According to the data compiled by Coin Dance, the BCHN chain is currently 111 blocks ahead of Bitcoin Cash ABC. It is important to note that the dominant chain is being spearheaded by Roger Ver. Many industry experts have questioned the viability of the BCHA chain of Bitcoin Cash since, over the last 24-hours, there have been only 11 blocks mined. Whereas, 123 BCHN blocks have been mined during the same time period, according to data from Blockchair.

hash

The hard fork has been disastrous for BCHA as its hash rate took a huge downturn after the fact. It is also important to note that the BCH hash rate has always been very low.

As noted by Nikita Zhavoronkov, the Lead Developer of Blockchair, only 0.6% of the BTC SHA-256 hash rate is required to 51% attack BCH. What is even more damaging is that with BCHA, it is just 0.05%. Hence a big solo miner can potentially attack and leave the BCHA network with malicious chain reorgs.

To top that, BCHA was currently being mined by just one miner at a “huge loss” giving rise to 100% control of the hash rate. The miner is also at the risk of losing the newly minted coins in an event of an attack.

bs

It was Binance that mined that the last “common block” among Bitcoin Cash miners at #661647. The first block that split the blockchain was mined by AntPool. Even before the fork, nearly 80% of miners demonstrated support for BCHN, and hence hash power has been in BCHN’s favor soon after the split.

Bitcoin Cash’s Price Takes a Plunge

As the hard fork went live, BCH crashed significantly as investors continued to struggle with the uncertainty of the future of the network. Over the last seven days, Bitcoin Cash’s price dropped by nearly 9% despite a rather bullish week as Bitcoin and the peer altcoins climbed an upward trajectory. At the time of writing, BCH was priced at $248.9.

The Controversy

The contentious hard fork arose from a massive conflict between the two camps Bitcoin Cash ABC and BCHN. The former’s camp, led by Developer Amaury Séchet, essentially intended to deploy an Infrastructure Funding Plan [IFP] that would introduce a “miner tax” of 8%., this implying that 8% of the miner rewards would be distributed to the team behind the network.

This was vehemently opposed by the BCHN camp stating that reducing miner rewards was not a good option since this could bring about centralization fears emerging out of the network’s development around just one team of devs.

Despite the dip, XRP geared up for a much-anticipated breach as it climbed to $0.268 while holding a market cap of $12.18 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $3.27 billion.

The dotted markers of the Parabolic SAR aligned below the XRP price candles supporting the coin from a drop depicting a growing bullish pressure. The RSI also rose above the 50-median line depicting a phase of increasing buying pressure in the coin market.

If Bitcoin Cash fails to reverse its short-term downtrend, it could potentially face a fall to its immediate support level of $218 while its resistance remained unbreached $273.

Bitcoin Cash Holders Make Big Moves Into Exchanges Days Before Hard Fork

by

Bitcoin turned several heads after the king coin hit $16K. However, Bitcoin Cash seems to be creating a bigger uproar following its imminent hard fork. With the hard fork just days away, the BCH community seems to be prepping the right way for the same. Recent data revealed that those holding BCH have been moving their funds into exchanges in huge numbers.

Over 1 million Bitcoin Cash [BCH] Moved Into Exchanges

The Bitcoin Cash team recently revealed that the blockchain was steering towards a split. The distribution of the 8% mining fee stirred several contrasting ideologies in the community. While Amaury Sechet proposed the division of the 8% mining fee, Roger Ver and many others opposed this idea. Hence, Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash Node, two of BCH’s critical clients were heading for a split.

While the hard fork is scheduled for 15 November 2020, the community was making the required arrangements. The fate of the blockchain and the creation of a new coin is uncertain. With only a few days left for the hard fork, Chainalysis revealed that more than $140 million worth of Bitcoin Cash was flowing into the exchanges. A whopping 1.56 million BCH found its way into the exchanges since the beginning of the month.

Bitcoin Cash

After a significant surge at the beginning of September, the inflows of BCH into the exchanges have been fairly low. However, this trend witnessed a reversal as the month of November commenced.

The Bitcoin Cash team was arguing against the allocation of the 8% rewards that were limited only to the BCH miners to the Bitcoin ABC development team as well. While the community continues disputing against this, several put forth the view that this division could question the decentralized nature of the network.

Days before the BCH hard fork, the coin bid adieu to its fifth position on the top ten crypto list. The coin was surpassed by Chainlink as its market cap slumped below $4.77 billion. During the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was trading for $257.16 with a 0.34% drop in its price over the last 24-hours. The coin managed to secure gains of over 5.28% over the last seven days.
