It’s been roughly four years since the Bitcoin family went all-in on the alpha cryptocurrency. But it’s not just the latest price surge that’s bringing home the bacon. Didi Taihuttu, his wife, and three children spoke with Dutch news from the Algarve in Portugal, the latest stop in his worldwide adventure. The Dutchman accumulated the bulk of his bitcoin in early 2017 around $900, a move that paid off handsomely in retrospect. Despite a two-year lull in prices, the family managed to live off of their profits and even accumulated

The cryptocurrency space can be a scary place if you are not careful. There are scammers left and right, and not just in Discord and Telegram. Many cryptocurrency projects have revealed themselves to be nothing short of a ponzi scheme. Some have even ended with a rug pull – the team dumping their share of the crypto on the market and running with the cash.TrustSwap is a cryptocurrency project that is hoping to change that by using smart contracts. They want to create a new standard for initial coin offerings

Open up the keg of powder, it’s time to lock and load. It’s alt season. In July, I predicted a bump of BTC followed by an open alt season. I was right. A perfect storm is bringing back memories of December 2017, and this time big money is looking to exit the U.S. dollar. Duck Season? Rabbit Season? No, Alt Season. It’s official. Alt season is here, and non-bitcoin cryptos are doing what they do best: pump. Total crypto markets have seen a surge from $165 billion in March to

 Coinbase will allow U.S. retail customers to borrow fiat loans against as much as 30% of their bitcoin holdings. One of the largest and most regulated crypto exchanges is capping credit lines at $20,000 per customer and offering an interest rate of 8% for bitcoin-backed loans with terms of one year or less. Yam, a DeFi token, suffered a fatal Code flaw which saw about $750,000 worth of tokens get locked up permanently and irretrievably. The project launched on Tuesday and had already accumulated over half a billion Dollars

Last week, the Bitcoin news was all about lift-off. This week, it’s all about the leveling off. Bitcoin ends the week around $11,400, a fall of about 2.7 percent over the last seven days. That drop included a correction of $700 in one day so the question now is whether the bullish moment has gone or will Bitcoin push on to $15,000? Its first mission will be to break the resistance at $12,000. Bitcoin failed to do that twice in ten days but consolidated after each failure, which some experts believe

After a tense day, the most talked about new decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol YAM Finance has overcome a near-catastrophic code error. The future of Yam Finance was abruptly thrown into question earlier today when a bug in the protocol’s code resulted in excessive YAM reserves being minted — rendering it “impossible to take any future governance actions.”The project quickly asked for community support, offering rewards to YAM miners and token-holders who were willing to pledge their tokens toward a pool of 160,000 coins to recapture governance over the protocol before the
