The second half of this bull market will be intense

Could it be that all along we have been in a mid-cycle price correction?

It never really felt like we were entering a bear market and that it was the end of the bull run.

Here are some reasons why we could be on the cusp of entering the second half of this bull run.

  1. The crypto market has been in a state of either fear or extreme fear for the past few months, but it looks like greener pastures are ahead according to Crypto's 'The Fear & Greed Index' which finally took Crypto outside of the fear zone and into green/greed territory. Crypto Fear & Greed Index - Bitcoin Sentiment - Alternative
  2. The crypto market cap has increased by $450 Billion in a little over a week; It stood at $1.25 Trillion on the 20th of July and it is now sitting at $1.7 Trillion: Cryptocurrency Global Charts (coingecko.com)
  3. The Total Value Locked in Defi has also been accumulating, going from $55 Billion on July 20 to $69 Billion today: DeFi Pulse - The Decentralized Finance Leaderboard
  4. Bitcoin broke the 42k barrier today after being stuck between 29k - 32k for quite some time; CoinGecko: Cryptocurrency Prices and Market Capitalization
  5. Long Term BTC Holders control 75% of the bitcoin supply & are accumulating at a rapid pace while the supply on exchanges is decreasing, previous bull runs have been ignited by similar conditions: - https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bitcoins-long-term-holders-are-hoarding-the-supply-heres-why-it-matters-301338834.html

Bank of America, Coinbase, FTX Invest in Paxos Series D Funding Round

Paxos

Paxos, a blockchain services and tokenization firm has added Coinbase Ventures, FTX, Bank of America, and Founders Fund as backers in its Series D funding round that started last April. These institutions were listed as “strategic investors,” but the amounts of their contributions were not disclosed. Paxos has now raised more than $540 million in funding.

Bank of America, FTX, and Coinbase Invest in Paxos

Two leading cryptocurrency exchanges and the second-biggest U.S. bank invested in Paxos, a New York-based blockchain infrastructure firm that focuses on offering clearing and tokenization services to other traditional firms. Bank of America, FTX, and Coinbase participated as “strategic investors” in the latest Series D funding round that the company started last April.

The interest of Bank of America in the firm is not strange. The company included the bank in its Paxos Settlement services, a blockchain platform that allows third parties to settle equity transactions. But for it to invest in Paxos means that they see a future when blockchain technology is more present and used in conjunction with traditional financial institutions. About this, Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla stated:

Paxos uses innovative technology to build the regulated infrastructure that will facilitate an open, accessible, and digital economy. We’re defining this space and are excited to grow our enterprise solutions besides these market leaders.

This Series D funding round also featured the participation of important investments from companies like Paypal Ventures and Mithril Capital, raising more than $300 million.

Stablecoin Controversy

The firm states it has an edge over other competing firms: the advantage of being a fully regulated platform, having obtained the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) issued Bitlicense in October 2020. Some of its customers are PayPal, Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Societe Generale, and Revolut.

Paxos is also the custodian and issuer of two stablecoins in the market: Binance USD and Paxos Standard. The company revealed the assets backing its stablecoins last week and had harsh criticism for other companies that don’t back their stablecoins 100% with cash or cash equivalents. Its CCO Dan Burstein called out these organizations stating no regulator would allow these behaviors.

Paxos is also interested in linking blockchain and traditional finance markets by itself. Last year, it received a Preliminary Conditional Approval for a US Bank Charter, from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), for running its own banking business.

What do you think about Paxos’ latest funding round? Tell us in the comment section below.

Is BTC Pulling a 2013 on Us? (Some Hopium)

It's July of 2013. If you bought anywhere near the peak in April, things were looking pretty depressing, with losses as large as 70% and what seemed to be a slow, steady grind downward. A lot of people closed out their position, giving up. Here's the daily chart:

2013 BTC Chart to July

If you hung around 'till October, you got a few more months of crab movement. August showed some positive recovery, but at the start of October, everything dumped in a day. You're still down 70%-ish if you held from the peak, but emotionally, you might be even further down, because all the painstakingly slow recovery had dumped so quickly and you didn't have any confidence the next day wouldn't be worse.

2013 BTC chart to Oct

But if you waited another month, you would've caught a ride up 340% from the earlier peak! And if you bought any of that dip, you would be looking at 1400% growth. Look how tiny that April peak looks in retrospect!

2013 BTC chart to Nov

So next let's look at today's chart. I've left some blank space for your mind to fill in the hopium:

2021 BTC Chart with Blank Space for Hopium

Can you see the parabolic green line that could happen, like it did in 2013 (and 2017)? Do you see the hopium rocket primed for lift off? I know I'm not really saying anything new here, but thought it might be useful to look at the 2013 charts as if you were living them then, like you are now. In retrospect, to those who aren't a part of it, it looks so easy. Like you just punch a ticket and get rich. But when you're living through it with your money on the line, it's actually months of torment. You've gotten to experience the torment (2021 edition), don't miss out on the payoff.

And of course, usual disclaimers apply: this is not financial advice, do your own research, don't invest more than you can afford to lose, yadda yadda yadda.

Bitcoin Energy FUD is the most rediculous counterargument when you consider the global entertainment industry literally wastes energy for fun!

Bitcoin has always had one of the most profound and libertarian objectives in history. The noncommercial, open and decentralised financial liberation of a global network of individual human beings.

The cryptosphere and it's industry generally share this same noble ideology.

There is a definitive point, objective and use case for crypto and therefore a clear justification for its energy usage.

Yet at every turn these days mainstream media and governments seem to take every opportunity to FUD Bitcoin and Crypto over energy.

But wait a fucking second....

If we're going to start questioning and pointing fingers at the carbon footprints of industry..

Apart of self gratification... what the fuck is the point of the adult entertainment industry? Think how much coal is burned to produce that money shot!.... and for what.. to help someone beat one out.

The Gambling Industry? Think of all those website, machines, lotteries, sports and even entire cities like Vegas and how much needless/ pointless energy they sap from the grid every year... and for what?!?

It continues....

The gaming industry, the sport industry, the movie industry, the fashion industry, the music industry, the art industry, the TV and Broadcasting Industry, the advertising industry... the list goes on and fucking on.

Crypto was never about recreational fun and entertainment.. it has always had a serious objective other than for our own personal entertainment and gratification.

So if eco warriors are going to ignorantly start pointing their green fingers at Bitcoin and crypto.. then they need to realise that when you point a finger.. three fingers tend to actually be pointing right back at you!

The blatent hippocracy of mainstream medias Energy fud is abhorrently rediculous and it's definitely time they stopped throwing stones in their glasshouses.

It’s amazing how people get soooo concerned about the waste from Bitcoin, then turn around and watch the Olympics where they build massive structure they use for a few weeks then rot forever.

Bitcoin Rewards Firm Lolli Raises $10M in Funding Led by Acrew Capital, Social Media Moguls

Bitcoin Rewards Firm Lolli Raises $10M in Funding Led by Acrew Capital, Social Media Moguls

The bitcoin rewards platform Lolli has announced the company has closed a $10 million Series A funding round on Wednesday. Lolli says the new financing will help the firm expand, hire and develop new partnerships.

Lolli Raises $10 Million

The New York-based Lolli has raised $10 million from investors, according to the company’s announcement on July 28. The company said that the Series A was led by Acrew Capital, Banana Capital, Up North Management, and Animal Capital.

The venture capital company Animal was founded by social media moguls Noah Beck, Josh Richards, and Griffin Johnson. Lolli further detailed that investors like Baron Davis, Kenny Beecham, Logan Paul, and Chantel Jeffries participated as well.

The CTO and co-founder of Lolli, Matt Senter, said that Acrew Capital’s investment shows the company understands that bitcoin-based businesses are blossoming.

“Acrew’s sizable bet on Lolli says two things: bitcoin business is booming, and as the original bitcoin rewards platform, Lolli has the best team to increase adoption in the long run,” Senter said in a statement. The Series A funding will be used to expand the firm, recruit new employees, and “further development of the recently launched mobile app.”

Tiktok star and social media giant Josh Richards and the Youtuber and entrepreneur, Logan Paul, also discussed the Lolli investment. “I’m thrilled to be investing and helping to fuel the growth of a company that allows users to earn and learn about this new asset class,” Youtube star Logan Paul said on Wednesday. Josh Richards said that his firm Animal Capital believes in companies that are embracing the modern age. Richards remarked during the announcement:

At Animal Capital, we believe in companies that are meeting modern users where they are – by bringing opportunities to invest in bitcoin to shoppers of all ages, Lolli is poised to transform the way that people, especially young shoppers, think about investing.

Lolli’s Competition, Review Score, and Drawbacks

Lolli isn’t the only service that offers crypto rewards these days for shopping, and the app competes with pre-paid crypto cards like Blockfi’s and Crypto.com’s Visa cards. The company was recently reviewed on July 13 by bitcompare.net’s Dean Fankhauser and achieved a score of 4.5 out of 5. Fankhauser’s review is fairly comprehensive but mentions some drawbacks tied to Lolli’s application.

“You’ll need to wait between 30 and 90 days before seeing any actual earnings from the app,” Fankhauser writes. “Considering how small these earnings are, that’s a long time to wait for an online shopping reward.”

The review also says that “returning items on which you’ve already earned bitcoin rewards can also muddy the waters of the system.” In contrast, Crypto.com’s wait time for crypto rewards on pre-paid crypto debit purchases is negligible because the crypto rewards are instant.
