Cryptocurrency News and Public Mining Pools

Crypto.com is price gouging on transfer fees, BIG time, about 15x and 154x more than coinbase, is this a red flag?

This is incredibly super shady and is going to make me think twice when using crypto.com app platform again. Right now, 12:10 pm PST time I'm trying to withdraw ETH and BTC. On L2Fees.info it has it ETH listed as 0.36 USD. Even on their own CDC defi app the meter is at all time…

Can This Bitcoin Ratio Have Hints For A Bottom?

Past trend of the Bitcoin actual/realized price ratio may be forming a pattern that could hint at a possible bottom for the crypto at $17k. Bitcoin Actual/Realized Price Ratio Currently Has A Value Of 0.8 As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, historical data of this BTC ratio may have interesting implications for the current market. The realized cap is a capitalization model for Bitcoin that multiplies each coin in the circulating supply with the price at which the coin was last moved and takes the sum of all the values. This is different from the usual market cap, where the entire supply is simply multiplied by the current price of BTC to get the capitalization. Now, from this realized cap, a “realized price” can also be obtained by dividing the metric with the total amount of coins in circulation.

Here is a chart that shows the trend in this Bitcoin ratio over the last few years: Looks like the actual price is lesser than the realized one at the moment | Source: CryptoQuant In the above graph, the quant has highlighted the major bottoms during previous Bitcoin cycles and the value of the actual/realized price ratio at which they occurred. Looking at the chart, it seems like during the 2015 bottom, the value of the indicator was about 0.6. And in the 2018 bottom, it was about 0.67.

If there is a pattern here with the actual/realized price ratio, then the bottom this time may also form at a value 0.07 higher than the previous time. This would put the ratio at about 0.74, which implies Bitcoin will need to decline further until $17k before this “bottom” value is reached. Naturally, this would only happen if there really is such a pattern present here. Another indicator, the delta capitalization model, suggests that $15k could be a possible lower bound for a Bitcoin bottom. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $19.2k, down 10% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 35% in value. The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

You Shouldn’t Be Ideologically Committed to Crypto Projects

So one thing that is interesting about (retail) crypto investors is that they kind of treat these projects (a.k.a. coins/tokens) as sporting teams. That is, they are very much committed (a.k.a. all-in) on believing the team and the projects and view this type of loyalty as some sort of a virtue. This is in contrast…
