- Crypto market sees red — where you invest next will depend on the kind of crypto investor you are
All investors should, of course, do their own research before making any kind of investment, cryptocurrency or otherwise — which is why it’s important to know when to HODL — hold on for dear life — when to buy and when to sell depending on your appetite for risk. The value of crypto assets increased by almost $1 trillion from August to November, before the big splat seen last week. With many coins still struggling to recover, this is an opportunity to ‘buy the dip’ for many. Relatively established cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, dipped by an astounding 20% last week.
- Caveat Emptor: A catchphrase for those hooked on NFTs
Just like the NFT system, the platform on which NFTs sit the Ethereum blockchain – is a bit outdated and unable to adapt to the volume and magnitude of the global, frenetic adoption. As their reputations and names are attached with an NFT, they should closely look at the other side of the coin now. The Ether (cryptocurrency) can be “mined” (or “created”) by ordinary people using computers that solve complex mathematical equations. To put it in perspective, more carbon emissions are produced from the electricity for mining new Bitcoin than in New Zealand! A single piece of artwork sold as an NFT rack up a minimum of two weeks of household usage of energy in a transaction.
- Amid Cryptocurrency Boom – and No Regulation – What’s the Way Forward for India’s Policymakers?
Bitcoin is making fresh headlines in India, but again for all the wrong reasons. In January this year Karnataka police seized 31 stolen Bitcoins, worth Rs 9 crore from Srikrishna alias Sriki, arrested in November 2020 for hacking crypto exchanges. And, to make matters worse, in their charge-sheet related to the illegal hacking activities the Bengaluru police had not mentioned the Bitcoin seizure. Sriki then appears to have tricked the police into believing he had transferred the Bitcoins to a police wallet for seizure. Now, those bitcoins seem to have vanished.
- If You Invested $1,000 In Ethereum When Beeple’s NFT Sold For $69M, Here’s How Much You’d Have
Many of the new NFTs were launched on the Ethereum network, which led to a surge in valuation over the last few months in the price of the cryptocurrency. Beeple was paid $69 million in Ethereum for the auction. Investors who put money into Ethereum when Beeple’s auction sold have been pleasantly rewarded. After auction fees and taxes, Beeple received $53 million in ETH, which he converted to U.S. dollars. By cashing out his Ethereum early, Beeple missed out on seeing the $69 million shoot up in valuation. Today, that $69 million would be worth $150.87 million.

- Will DAOs revolutionize media or just create playgrounds for the rich?
Over the past few weeks a virtual flash mob called the ConstitutionDAO, with thousands of cryptocurrency fans, crowdfunded almost $45 million to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution. This experiment, which flooded social media with countless memes and calls to join the crowdfund, is just one example of the type of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) that are now all the rage in venture capital circles. Several other DAO projects, including the Andreessen Horowitz-backed Friends with Benefits (FWB) DAO, manage more than $600 million in assets.

- The Andy Milonakis NFT Show, EP. 13 – Goat Soup
Milonakis announced the title of his first serious NFT collection and released the first sample. Andy Milonakis is here to make the world a better place. The artist who drew his pixel goats charged him way too little, and he asks the community, “You think if i give her a 50x bonus what she quoted me originally is fair?” The Goat Soup team chose pixel art and a 24×24 format because the project is 100% on chain.
