Australian Dollar, NAB Business Confidence Survey, Talking Points: AUD/USD was marked down after another feeble business survey Overall confidence was steady, but at very low levels The ‘current conditions’ assessment was brutal First-quarter technical and fundamental forecasts from the DailyFX analysts are out now. The Australian Dollar wilted Tuesday on a very gloomy assessment of current conditions from Australian businesses. Overall business confidence remained stable in December according to the National Australia Bank’s venerable survey, albeit at very low levels. The index reading of 3 matched November’s print but that was the lowest since January 2016. What really did the damage to AUD/USD, however was that current conditions assessment. Its reading plunged to just 2, from 11 in November. Business confidence had been holding up pretty well until the end of last year, but is now running at just half of the survey’s long term average of 6. Australian business remain...

Jan 28, 2019 23:20&nbspUTC | Updated: Jan 28, 2019 at 23:20&nbspUTC By   Kapil Gauhar “Monero is a secure, private, untraceable currency.” Some people may think that this definition could be applied to Bitcoin but that is literally not the case when it is about being private and untraceable. Monero is a digital currency that uses a different sort of cryptography to allow for these specific attributes. This beginner’s guide should help those who are not very familiar with Monero to comprehend the high-level differences between the two. Without delving deep into the technical details, the way Monero is able to make transactions untraceable is via a technology called ring signatures. Essentially, it mixes as individual’s set of transactions with others so that it is not clear to the public eye who owns which addresses. Also, it hides balances through stealth addresses that are random one-time addresses that can’t be connected with an individual publicly. Yo...

Guest post by Quinn DuPont from University of Washington Quinn is a Research Associate at the University of Washington. To better understand who invests in crypto and ICOs, why they do it, and how exactly they make trades, in late 2017—at the peak of the crypto mania—I set out to study people behind the billions in investment and speculative trading. Research Background In the run-up market highs in December 2017, seemingly everyone was getting in on the action. Crypto was making front page news as investors of all stripes rushed into the market thinking it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many were enticed by increasingly easy—and unregulated—onramps, through apps and exchanges trading popular currency pairs. Then came the reckoning, where most lost their investments in a prolonged and protracted bear market. However, do people understand who “invests” in cryptocurrency? Not really. In this study, I wanted to get behind the news headlines, the drama and trolls, the “ma...

Amidst the ongoing bear market which is currently seeing greens, a few of the cryptocurrencies are performing well. With over 27 percent gains and surging in the BTC as well as ETH market by over 21 percent, this cryptocurrency is definitely “HOT” right now. Riding the Bulls The top cryptocurrencies are down 80 to 90 percent from their all-time highs (ATH) and the crypto space is in a deep bear market. However, there is one cryptocurrency which is enjoying the bulls.   Holo is that cryptocurrency which has been on an upward movement for a week now. The 32 largest cryptocurrency by market cap of $176 million as per the data provided by Coinmarketcap. A few days back, with its price change, Holo took the 13th spot on Coinmarketcap which is a great feat for this coin. The past week has been a pretty good one for the Holo and over the past few days, the cryptocurrency has been going through a healthy rally. At the time of writing, Holo has been trading at $0.0013 with 2...

Economy & Regulation Central bank warnings about crypto assets may give the impression that cryptocurrency is illegal, especially since these entities often cite reasons as to why they’re uncomfortable with virtual currencies encroaching on their turf. But their assertions are often inaccurate, particularly when it comes to determining the legality of cryptocurrency. Also read:  Jamaica Stock Exchange Plans to List Security Tokens A Currency Legitimized by its Owners On Jan. 24, Singapore’s ministry of law, in an apparent reaction to the growing acceptance of virtual currency, cautioned that cryptocurrency is not legal tender and advised businesses to exercise due diligence before accepting it as a form of payment. The ministry’s pronouncement follows the sealing of a partnership between a jewelry chain store called SK Jewellery and Singapore-based point-of-sale systems firm Bizkey Network to operationalize cryptocurrency payments. Elsewhere, the Central Bank of Samo...

Shut out of the global financial system, Iran  is inching closer to a workaround to US sanctions with the possible unveiling of its first state-backed cryptocurrency in the near future. The virtual currency is anticipated to be announced at the annual two-day Electronic Banking and Payment Systems conference , which kicks off on January 29 in the capital, Tehran. The theme of this year's gathering is "blockchain revolution". The blockchain is a fixed distributed ledger technology that allows a network of computers to verify transactions between two parties, as opposed to validating them through a trusted, third-party entity. Details of Iran's new cryptocurrency were revealed last summer, after the Trump administration started reimposing sanctions over alleged "malign activities". The biggest blow to Iran's economy came in November, when some of its banks were barred from SWIFT , the Belgian-based global messaging system that facilitates cross-borde...

Not many can accept the concept of cryptocurrency because of which many people are not adopting this. Some experts say that the complexity of this technology is keeping people away from cryptocurrency. More and more people will start adopting cryptocurrency if they can be educated about the working of bitcoin by a method that can be easily understood. eToro’s senior marketing analyst, Mati Greenspan stated that “Now that awareness has peaked, the number one barrier to entry is education.” She also added that public has become aware of what Cryptocurrency is, all that they need to understand now is that the advantage and how they can be used. The only key to successfully making people adopt cryptocurrency and blockchain for the year 2019 is ‘education’ as per Mr. Greenspan and many others who are in the same peer. He says that people desire to know and educate about this. Therefore, education stands first in the list of agenda for the year 2019. Mr. Greenspan said that there was a pol...

The major bottleneck faced by most of the cryptocurrencies is their scalability factor.  Cryptocurrencies should be able to scale well for more numbers of users. People who invest in the cryptocurrencies are the users.  How they trade and why they do it is something that everyone should know. In the beginning years, people were marketed to the fancies of profits through apps, and they joined popular exchanges and traded the currency pairs.  Subsequently, most of them lost their investments in the bear market. The market continues to thrive.  So, who are the traders? There are professional traders, there are hobbyists, and there are those who manage the funds invested exclusively in crypto. Being an excitingly new investment class, most of them are proud of being a part of this investment class.  There are unethical, illegal activities taking place. However, from the big picture, it is seen that more numbers of people are interested in achieving a regulatory...
