Elon Musk proposes to McDonald’s to accept Dogecoin

After the recent drop in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, McDonald's published a tweet this Monday (24) asking how investors were feeling. In response, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a proposal for them to accept Dogecoin at their fast-food chain. The beginning of this story is an old joke in which cryptocurrency investors like Bitcoin have two futures, lead a life of luxury if the price goes up or else work at McDonald's if the price goes down. Finally, don't think that a job at McDonald's is not worthy, on the contrary. Even Binance founder Changpeng Zhao once worked as a cashier before becoming one of the richest men in the world. Anyway, the meme just shows the contrast between an easy life and one that requires more effort. McDonald's mocks cryptocurrency investors After Bitcoin dr...

Ethereum 2.0 will no longer be called Ethereum 2.0

The new version of Ethereum, until now called Ethereum 2.0, will now have another name. For reasons of security and convenience for users, the developers at the Ethereum Foundation proposed the term "consensus layer" to refer to the next form of the network. Although for practical purposes this modification has no implications for those who use Ethereum, followers of this network should know that, from now on, it is very likely that they will find new names for things already known. Thus, as explained in a publication from the Ethereum Foundation, whenever you read or hear about the “execution layer” or execution layer, users need to know that this is Ethereum 1.0 (the current version). While, with "consensus layer" or consensus layer Ethereum 2.0 will be referenced, w...

Are we in Bitcoin’s Bear Market? What the Glassnode Study Says | Bitcoin Portal

Bitcoin (BTC) had another challenging week as prices dropped from the weekly open of $43,413 to a new local low of $34,407. The total drop since the record high recorded in November 2021 is 49.9%. Along with plummeting prices, investors took a more than $2.5 billion loss on the blockchain in the last week. Much of these losses are attributed to short-term holders who seem to be taking every opportunity to get their money back. In this week's report, the Glassnode assesses the loss and defines the probability of a prolonged bear market to form. Defining a bear market for bitcoin is not an easy task and, in this issue, we try to add details to the debate using historical investor behavior and profitability patterns as a reference.

Strong rebound: cryptocurrencies take flight and rise up to 14% in a day of high volatility

Despite the rises, the collapse continues to be more than 15% in the last seven days and the correction from the historical maximum of November, at US$69,000, of almost 50%. The violent volatility of these days is due to multiple factors that have been weighing down the price since the beginning of this year, among which greater regulation in the US or Russia of the cryptocurrency industry stands out. In addition, the imminent monetary policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as well as with NATO and the US, have caused a real selling panic in risk assets, which has fueled the cryptos. Wall Street's huge bounce on Monday also added to the explosive mix, given bitcoin's huge correlation with the US stock market, especially with the t...

Barclaycard customer? Check your account and don’t bin post as it’s refunding MORE people, with some getting £1,200

More than a dozen MoneySavers have contacted us saying they've received payments from Barclaycard after we first published our story last week, including two people who showed us letters from the lender confirming refunds of more than £1,200. This is despite Barclaycard telling us the average refund was £70. At the time, Barclaycard told us its redress scheme, set up after an internal review, only related to both current and former credit card customers who had taken out a repayment plan in the years leading up to – and including – 2018. But it's since confirmed the scope of the redress scheme includes other borrowers too. Barclaycard won't go into any more detail on exactly who this covers or how many people are due refunds, only saying that it is returning rele...
