The cryptocurrency market continues to baffle. More specifically – everything that Elon Musk tweets about, regardless of whether it actually has any relation to cryptocurrencies – seems to have an impact. The case in point is a cryptocurrency called Starbase Token, carrying the STAR ticker. According to the project’s official website, it represents a “blockchain token-based crowdfunding/sourcing platform.” In essence, it’s a place where startups can raise funds by issuing...

Bitcoin has fallen deeply into a state of oblivion. Once trading for well over $64,000, the world’s number one digital currency by market cap has lost nearly $20,000 in value since last month and is presently trading for just over $47,000. Bitcoin Is Still Being Bought Up Among many analysts is an attitude of gloom and doom. Some consider the end of bitcoin to be near, while other largescale investors – such as Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy fame – think that this is...

Bitcoin investors have started to deposit substantial amounts of their portions into exchanges, on-chain data shows. Consequently, a popular analyst expects the asset’s price to stay at current levels or, most probably, to keep dumping in the following days. Bitcoin Whales’s Deposits to Exchanges Skyrocket Bitcoin’s price was on a wild rollercoaster ride in the past week or so with Elon Musk receiving most of the blame. After he and Tesla announced that customers can no...

Julie Bushnell – a teacher situated in the United Kingdom – has lost several thousand dollars to a bitcoin scam that was using the likeness of famed South African entrepreneur Elon Musk, the man behind billion-dollar companies such as Tesla and SpaceX. Julie Bushnell Has Lost A Lot of Money It seems like Elon Musk just cannot seem to catch a break as of late. When his words are not bringing the prices of various forms of cryptocurrency down into the muck, his face is...

Last week, Elon Musk and Tesla shocked the entire crypto industry following an announcement that the electric car company will no longer accept bitcoin payments for “environmental reasons.” A Hard Pill For Bitcoin Maximalists Giving its reasons, Tesla argued that Bitcoin mining operation requires massive energy consumption, which is generated from fossil fuel, especially coal, and as such, causes environmental pollution. The announcement caused a market dip which saw over $4...

It is hard to understand Elon Musk at times. There are moments when he appears to be quite clear regarding cryptocurrency, and other days when he seems to be way off the mark. Either he does not fully understand the influence he has on the space, or he does and says certain things knowing they will have certain impacts. Either way, he has now sent Dogecoin through the roof again with his latest words following the rough week it has had. Elon Musk and Dogecoin Are Mixing...

In the cryptocurrency space, it is usually considerably easier to focus on the negative than it is to look at the positive. As of late, Dogecoin is enduring some heavy suffering, with the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap falling as much as 20 percent in recent days, so for the most part, we are likely to see a lot of news coverage about this drop. Dogecoin Is Still a Beloved Asset However, despite this little setback, there is nothing to suggest that the...

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...

To say that last week was eventful would be an understatement. The entire market went through extreme volatility. Many altcoins charted new all-time highs and went through serious declines as well. Let’s start with Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is currently down about 10% on the weekly – last Friday, it was trading at around $57K. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there, with the exception of the first few days as on Monday, BTC had an unsuccessful attempt at the coveted...

It goes without saying that the entire cryptocurrency community was taken ablaze by what happened with Tesla, Elon Musk, Bitcoin, and, somewhat not surprisingly, Dogecoin. Following the electric vehicle manufacturer’s decision to halt BTC payments for its products due to environmental considerations, Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, said that he’s working with Dogecoin developers to improve transaction efficiency. Working with Doge devs to improve system transaction efficiency....
