In early Sunday trading, BTC prices had fallen to their lowest levels for over 11 weeks, hitting $46,700 before a minor recovery. The last time Bitcoin dropped to these levels was at the end of February during the second major correction of this ongoing rally. A rebound off that bottom sent prices above $60K for the first time in the two weeks that followed. Later today, Bitcoin is going to close another weekly candle. In case the candle closes at those levels, this will...

The cryptocurrency market has become a wild show in recent months, perhaps led by Dogecoin’s emergence to the grand scene. The meme coin that started as a joke in 2013, whose founder sold its stack to buy an old Honda Civic back in the day, has been among the best performers eight years after its birth. Publicly supported by some of the most popular and influential celebrities, such as Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg, Mark Cuban, and more, the DOGE token grabbed people’s attention and...

Earlier today, it was announced on Live Bitcoin News that the price of BTC had taken a drastic fall thanks, in part, to actions taken by Elon Musk, who announced that his company Tesla had decided not to accept bitcoin payments for goods and services.

Bitcoin has taken a nasty slump of roughly 12 percent and has fallen into the high $49,000 range thanks to Elon Musk and Tesla. Elon Musk Says “No” to Crypto Payments Musk – the South African entrepreneur behind the electric car company – made headlines in February when he decided to add approximately $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin to the firm’s asset roster. He later decided that the time had come to make bitcoin a valid payment method for Tesla goods and products. This caused many analysts...

Many analysts thought that with so much competition stemming from regions like Canada, the United States would give in sometime this year and submit to a bitcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF), but now it looks like that will not be the case. A Bitcoin ETF May Not Arrive This Year After All The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has always been relatively stubborn when it comes to permitting bitcoin-based products and services, and despite many new ideas and...

The Binance Smart Chain continues to see some of the projects being built on it exploited. The latest was done by someone who had access to the PancakeSwap admin address. The Exploit It’s an age-old problem with smart contracts: randomness. Solidity has no native random function, and all sources of randomness have to be on-chain. Projects use things like block headers, transaction hashes, and more to create legitimate sources of randomness, but none are truly random – they...

This comes on the back of a large Bitcoin dip following the most recent news that came from Tesla and its decision to halt bitcoin payments for its products. A Slowdown of Enthusiasm The unbridled electric energy in the air surrounding Bitcoin briefly halted after major cryptocurrencies plunged over 20% shortly following Elon Musk’s announcement that Tesla would no longer accept BTC. Square’s massive Bitcoin position – 8,027 bitcoins – took a temporary dive, especially in...

As of late, bitcoin has been suffering somewhat. The world’s number one digital currency by market cap has fallen into the high $53,000 range, which is about $2,000 less than where it has been all week. While bitcoin falls, other currencies – such as Ethereum – are reaching record highs, yet analyst and big-time investor Stanley Druckenmiller is confident that no permanent harm will come to the currency, and that it will remain at the top of the crypto ladder at least...
