 An upstate assemblywoman is battling bitcoin advocates as she defends a measure that would impose a two-year embargo on crypto mining in New York. Assemblywoman Anna Kelles (D-Ithaca) argued on social media over the aim of a bill that would allow the state time to examine the environmental implications of the contentious crypto mining process "My measure does not prohibit the use of cryptocurrency." "It's not even a mining prohibition," Kelles explained. "It's a two-year embargo on bitcoin mining activities at fossil-fuel power facilities." Cryptocurrency mining, or Bitcoin mining, consumes enormous amounts of energy as computers solve complicated math problems and authenticate digital currency transactions. Critics of the bill, which passed the Assembly's Ways and Means Committee on Monday, fear that it would force tech companies out of New York and transfer employment abroad. Opponents, according to Kelles, are deliberately mis...

The Week in Crypto: Volatility Continues, Ethereum Upgrade Postponed For the bulk of the week, Bitcoin remained below $40,000, losing 2% in the past seven days. Several causes contributed to the price drop, including growing inflation, geopolitical events, and monetary policy changes.

It becomes more linked with global economic dynamics as a result. Bitcoin's all-time high was reached in the first days of January, when it hit over $48,000 on January 2.

AN ABSOLUTE PUBLICITY STUNT TO ATTRACT INVESTORS IS THE ETHEREUM MOVIE.

AN ABSOLUTE PUBLICITY STUNT TO ATTRACT INVESTORS IS THE ETHEREUM MOVIE. Ethereum is preparing its next marketing gimmick to attract more investors. Ethereum has grown in popularity as one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies, putting Bitcoin in serious competition. Ethereum soared to become the second-largest cryptocurrency at a time when Bitcoin was the face and heart of the crypto industry. When the world is busy accepting Bitcoin as its legal tender, Ethereum remains the second-best and is likely to overtake Bitcoin shortly. Because of the increased rivalry among all cryptocurrencies, ETH has developed some of the most profitable services in the industry. Since its introduction in 2015, Ethereum has experienced tremendous growth and has recently experienced numerous significant price fluctuations. However, the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum is that the latter allows developers to create and power new tools, apps, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). ...

After years of focusing on high-profile hedge funds, Anthony Scaramucci, whose interest in cryptocurrencies began during his brief stay in Washington, aims to refocus his SkyBridge Capital toward digital assets. According to Scaramucci, who returned to money management at his New York-based firm after 11 days as then-President Donald Trump's director of communications in 2017, nearly half of SkyBridge's $3.5 billion under management is linked to crypto-assets such as Bitcoin, the Algorand protocol, Ethereum, and publicly traded crypto-related stocks. The crypto focus, according to SkyBridge, may help treble assets to $10 billion, with digital assets accounting for the majority of those funds. In an interview, Scaramucci claimed, "We feel so passionately about this potential that we...

Is Bitcoin About to Lose a Key Support Area, and Is $37K on the Way? (Analysis of the Bitcoin Price)

Image
 Is Bitcoin About to Lose a Key Support Area, and Is $37K on the Way? (Analysis of the Bitcoin Price) The bullish crossover of the 50-day and 100-day moving average lines occurred last week, but Bitcoin failed to maintain its bullish momentum and underwent a market shakeout. Later in the week, the price rallied and attempted to break above the moving average lines again, but was swiftly rejected and fell below $40,000. The next significant support level for BTC is $36K-$37K; if this level fails to hold, the price will most certainly drop to the $30K demand zone. Furthermore, the RSI indicator is currently below 50 points, as well as the long-term resistance trendline, indicating that the bears have retaken control of the market. To achieve higher values, Bitcoin's RSI must break through the declining trendline. The bullish side's 50-day and 100-day moving average lines are the next key resistance levels. The Chart for 4 Hours In the lower timeframes, the $42K support ...
