Why is Ethereum’s price increasing?

By AlexB20 (via Publish0x)

Ethereum, Ripple’s XRP, Litecoin, and chainlink are the world’s largest cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin, and they suddenly soared this week. The total market capitalization of Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and Chainlink is approximately US$100 billion, which have risen by 20% to 50% respectively this week, even surpassing the gains of Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin has a growing reputation as a digital gold before 2020, and Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, and chain links have been boosted, other cryptocurrency trends have also pushed them higher.

If you are on the right path and using the right platform, investing in cryptocurrency is a good thing in general. After many failed attempts to get the right platform, I came across the Libraforex cryptocurrency investment platform (www.libraforex, io), where every 10 days I use cryptocurrency for every investment I get a different percentage. Before I tried it and believed me, it had been smooth and looked really good. Don’t give up cryptocurrency and join the platform. Believe me, you will no longer care about price fluctuations. Thank me later. PS: In any case, it’s not that I tempted you to do anything for my own personal financial benefit, I just share it innocently so that you can get one or two benefits from it, because this has been working for me. You can also research the method that suits you.

Ethereum has grown by 20% in the last week along with other major cryptocurrencies (including Ripple’s… [+]) Flick through Getty Images This week, the price of Ethereum exceeded $500 for the first time since June 2018. Although Ethereum is still far below the all-time high of about $1,500 set in January 2018, the price of Ethereum has risen nearly four times in March 2020. The collapse of the coronavirus has swept the global market. Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Bitfinex, based in the British Virgin Islands, said via email: “Ethereum has hit $500 for the first time since June 2018. This is an important milestone.”

“Ethereum is on the rise and is about to transition to proof-of-stake. [Its strong price performance highlights optimism and seems to be raising the cryptocurrency field. Although Bitcoin is the unquestioned king of cryptocurrencies, the thriving Ethereum community There are many possibilities for being alive.” The price of Ethereum has soared above US$500 per Ether this week, soaring by 50% in just a few days One such part of the Ethereum community is chainlink, an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency token that powers a decentralized network that is designed to connect smart contracts to external data sources.

In the past year, due to growing interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), the use of encryption technology to recreate traditional financial tools such as loans and insurance, the price of chain-link chains has soared by an astonishing 500%. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov (Sergey Nazarov) said via email: “Accelerating Bitcoin’s growth is the growing demand for revenue and the rise of DeFi, the fastest growing sector in the blockchain industry. “Nazarov expects that, driven by the new DeFi cryptocurrency project, “in this market cycle”, Bitcoin will exceed $100,000 per Bitcoin. “Now, this is the first time in the history of Bitcoin, and it coincides with the historical increase in the inflation rate; not only can someone buy Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, but they can also get higher than expected The annual interest rate or yield comes from traditional finance.”

Reddit Forms First Blockchain Partnership With Ethereum Foundation

By Abhimanyu Krishnan (via PublishOx)

On Jan. 28, Reddit formally announced a partnership with the Ethereum Foundation, with the goal of bringing Reddit closer to being decentralized. 

• The collaboration, which is Reddit’s first-ever blockchain partnership, will see the two parties work closely to create scaling solutions, following the initial groundwork of using Ethereum for Reddit’s Community Points program
• The first challenge that will be tackled is “bringing Ethereum to Reddit-scale production” i.e. the creation of an open-source scaling solution that can be used to support large-scale applications
• The effort will be led by Reddit’s crypto team, which is currently on the hunt for more backend engineers
• Reddit, a major hub of cryptocurrency discussions, has already worked with the Ethereum Foundation to trial solutions
• Two tokens, MOONS, and BRICKS are being tested on the r/cryptocurrency and r/FortniteBR subreddits, with MOONS, in particular, seeing heavy usage among Redditors, already being traded on the market
• The Reddit crypto team also has more developments lined up, which will be announced in the months to come

Is Reddit Using Ethereum Blockchain for a New Points System?

By Abhimanyu Krishnan (via PublishOx)

On April 8, a Reddit user, MagoCrypto, has unearthed what appears to be a new crypto-related feature on the platform’s Android app. The Redditor posted a video that showed a “wallet” function with an Ethereum address linked to it, as suggested by the address. 

Those that do have this feature will notice a ‘wallet’ tab. This wallet section includes a recovery phrase, introduction and FAQ section. The latter itself includes several interesting resources on the subject, including tipping, memberships and an ‘On the blockchain’ section.

Redditors, who are no strangers to cryptocurrencies (in fact, it is already possible to tip them with BAT, a feature that the Brave team implemented last year), seem quite happy with the development, though some have stated that this may be a marketing gimmick that in reality requires no blockchain. Others have countered by saying there is a lot of possibility with the implementation of smart contracts – including being able to swap points for ERC-20 tokens, which could introduce a giant swathe of Redditors to cryptocurrencies.

This seems to be something that’s very much in development, so users will have to wait for the official confirmation to get all the details. While it’s too early to form a conclusion either way, if Reddit were to implement such a feature, it could lead to a sizable win for adoption, as the “front page of the internet” has many hundred millions of active users.
