Regardless of what is the low point of Bitcoin, its stability at $6,000 is optimistic. In addition, there are two major catalysts may significantly boost bitcoin prices in the next two months.\n\n1.Strengthening of cryptocurrency infrastructure\nAt present, the central banks of the United Kingdom, Singapore and other countries exploring the issue of encrypted digital currency. Under the circumstances of accelerated exploration, the construction of critical infrastructure is still the focus and difficulty of the issue of encrypted digital currency. Therefore, countries are working hard to strengthen the construction of cryptocurrency infrastructure in 2018. \n\nIn early 2018, two Russian states were prepared to accept cryptocurrency mining infrastructure to help the industry become an industry; in August, the German stock exchange launched an \"end-to-end\" cryptocurrency infrastructure, the global Bitcoin ATM machine has broken through 3,000 units this year, etc,.\n\nThe founder of Give Byte said: Better cryptocurrency infrastructure will promote [bitcoin price](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) recovery. Especially Bitcoin ATM, e-commerce payment gateway, mobile wallet, POS terminal accepts encrypted goods, and supervision.\n\n2.Institutional investors who are afraid of missing opportunities\nAs [bitcoin currency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) and a large number of altcoins set a new record high in December last year, a severe market adjustment followed, and the market began to stabilize until the middle of this year. However, after July this year, there are more and more encouraging signs that institutional investors are changing their attitudes again, suggesting that the adoption of mainstream investors is coming.\n\nLet's take a look at the Wall Street giants who seem to be laying the groundwork for a massive entry into the cryptocurrency market. In July of this year, BlackRock, the world's largest exchange-traded fund (ETF), announced the establishment of a working group to assess the potential of investing in Bitcoin. This cross-industry working group is exploring a variety of investment options, but it is understood that Bitcoin futures will be put on the agenda. BlackRock’s move can be described as a huge opportunity for fear of missing cryptocurrencies.\n\nIn addition, Goldman Sachs Group is advancing into the cryptocurrency market. Goldman Sachs executive Rana Yared confirmed that the company intends to sell and [buy bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) next month. On September 26, Goldman Sachs and Google raised $25 million for a bitcoin payment company. Several former executives of Goldman Sachs have also entered the cryptocurrency community.\n\nThese two factors are catalysts for the bitcoin price recovery in the next two months. It is expected that bitcoin prices will soar by the end of this year, just as at the end of 2017.",

      "body": "![litecoin.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSCtyTrHXSmNEg9qTz8hpx79vkwbvcA9ji9wm65Py2Jpc/litecoin.jpg)\n\nThe success of Bitcoin has attracted many imitators, Litecoin is a successful one as it is currently ranked seventh in digital currency according to the [ltc market cap](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/). And the current application of Litecoin is also expanding. Many merchants will accept both Bitcoin and Litecoin payments. It seems that Litecoin is very successful, but it is not. Why?\n\n1.Fair\nIn the current digital currency field, bitcoin stands out in the SHA-256 algorithm; SCRYPT algorithm,  Litecoin and dogcoin each account for half, and other alternative currencies have a little share. in order to compete with the POW mechanism, PPC is the first to adopt the POW+POS mode. The subsequent digital cryptocurrency began the pace of POS, such as [BTS cryptocurrency](https://citicoins.com/bitshares/) and so on.\n\nThe POW mechanism will inevitably lead to temporary centralization. The higher the professional level, the more market share is obtained. This is reasonable, but as long as the competition mechanism exists, no one can form a long-term monopoly. One of the slogans of the invention of the Litecoin is to end the unfairness of the [Bitcoin mining](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) machine. At present, the Litecoin has already appeared in mining machines. Many graphics card miners are seeking to split and launch the X11 project, which is enough to prove that its efforts in the direction of fairness have failed.\n\n2.fast   \nIt takes about one hour for Bitcoin to pay for six confirmations, and one confirmation takes about ten minutes. Although the 10-minute payment rate is fast enough compared to traditional banks, this is not satisfactory during normal use. For example, if I am going to buy a cup of coffee, it is unthinkable to wait at least ten minutes before leaving.\n\nIn view of this, Litecoin has proposed an improvement. The confirmation time of Litecoin is 2.5 minutes, which is 1/4 of Bitcoin, greatly shortens the confirmation time. But is this improvement meaningful? To buy a drink, the 2.5 minute payment time is also unacceptable. With the development of Bitcoin payment companies, zero-confirmed payment has become the norm, Coinbase, Bitpay, and domestic currency, which are zero-confirmed payments. However, Litecoin does not currently have a similar business. And 2.5 minutes compared to 0 minutes, obviously became a disadvantage, which is enough to prove that Lite's efforts in the fast direction failed.\n\n3.Backup\nSupporters of Litecoin have also come up with the theory that the characteristics of Litecoin and Bitcoin are exactly the same. If there is a problem with the Bitcoin protocol or Bitcoin miners, and Litecoin can be used as the best backup for Bitcoin. \n\nFirst of all, the Litecoin code is completely rewritten based on Bitcoin. If the Bitcoin protocol is out of order, can the Litecoin be spared? From the price point of view, Litecoin can be regarded as a derivative of Bitcoin, with greater volatility and higher speculation. If the principle of Bitcoin is broken, I am afraid that the [litecoin value](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/charts) and it’s future is even more worrying.\n\nSecond, bitcoin's self-healing ability is extremely powerful. Regardless of the problem, the core development team, or even the developers of related industries, will take the initiative to fix it as soon as possible. In contrast, Litecoin, developers rely entirely on Bitcoin code updates, and have not seen their independence so far. The only independence is to always ask for help in other SCRYPT currency modification algorithms to maintain its monopoly position. From this perspective, Litecoin's efforts in the use of backup have also failed.",

He hopes to increase the adoption rate of BCH in this way.\n\nRegarding the cryptocurrency trading platform, Roger Ver said that he is still in the early stages of the plan because he has not yet decided whether to build it internally or to seek a platform that is already running. And he revealed that Bitcoin wallet users can use Bitcoin cash payments in every major US business in the future, such as Walgreens, Walmart, and other major businesses. So what impact does Bitcoin.com launch on the BCH-based trading platform for [BCH cryptocurrency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/)?\n\n1. Increase the number of BCH users\nBitcoin.com, as an older and longer-term cryptocurrency website in the cryptocurrency industry, has accumulated a large number of users. If its trading platform is based on BCH, it will cause more people to pay attention to BCH. At the same time, this move also provides a lot of convenience for BCH holders, strengthening the confidence of BCH supporters in BCH.\n\n2.Improve the Liquidity of BCH\nThe trading platform itself is a very large traffic area, and the support of more trading platforms will also help to improve the liquidity of [bitcoin cash trading](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/markets). For cryptocurrencies, liquidity is a major reference for market support. The increase in BCH liquidity will drive it to occupy more market share, and the increase in market share will promote BCH to survive and develop better.\n\n3.Easy to use\nAt present, although BCH has obtained support from many trading platforms, it is mainly a trading platform based on fiat currency transactions and BTC transactions. The number of trading platforms based on BCH is still in the minority. If Bitcoin.com really launches a trading platform based on BCH, this will reduce the user's dependence on BTC. Users can bypass BTC to obtain BCH and use BCH, which is helpful for the long-term development of BCH and [bitcoin cash value](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/charts).\n\n4. Improve the status of BCH\nAt present, the transactions supported by major trading platforms are mainly based on fiat currency transactions pairs or bitcoin transaction pairs. If the number of trading platforms based on BCH is increased, it will cause the market to pay attention to BCH, there will be more trading platforms to support BCH trading pairs, and BCH's position in many cryptocurrencies will also be improved.\n\nFor Bitcoin cash, what is most needed to do with BTC and ETH is to expand its ecology and attract more users and businesses. Improvements in these basic services are also a means of attracting users. When the infrastructure supporting BCH is increasing, providing users with enough convenience to use BCH, the number of users supporting BCH will gradually increase. Merchants and enterprises will also choose to support BCH in order to obtain more users, thus promoting the gradual growth of the bitcoin cash ecology.\n\nRoger Ver is an early supporter of Bitcoin. When many people have never heard of Bitcoin, he uses his own actions to support Bitcoin, which is enough to prove his business vision. Now he is fully committed to supporting BCH, which also shows that the potential of BCH is endless. So as BCH gains more support, I think BCH will have a bright future.",

This has caused many investors in the cryptocurrency community to speculate that the bitcoin price drop was caused by the secret sale of bitcoin by big bitcoins.\n\nIn response to this suspicion, blockchain research firm Chainalysis conducted a research survey, which showed that the big bitcoins are not the \"culprit\" that causes high volatility in currency prices. The study looked at 32 of the most-capitalized [bitcoin wallets](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/), holding a total of 1 million BTCs worth about $6.3 billion.\n\nBig Bitcoins refer to individuals or organizations that hold large numbers of BTCs that are considered to have an impact on market volatility. However, the data from Chainalysis shows that the big bitcoins are a diverse group, and only one-third of them are active traders. Although the trading activities of these large households are indeed enough to shake the market, they are actually keen on the reverse operation and buy when the [bitcoin trading price](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) falls, which is we called “buy on dips”.\n\nDuring the research, the company divided the 32 wallets into four groups. There are nine of the most active wallets, which are regularly traded on the exchange. This group of Bitcoin holders has more than 332,000 BTCs worth more than $2 billion, but only one-third are willing to have the habit of trading frequently. Most of this group of traders entered the market in 2017.\n\nThe second group of wallets belonged to miners and early adopters of bitcoin, consisting of 15 investors with a holding capacity of 332,000 BTC. The trading activity of this group is very low. However, most of them have been sold BTCs when bitcoin prices rose between 2016 and 2017.\n\nThe remaining two groups are the “criminal” group with 3 wallets (holding more than 125,000 BTC, worth 790 million US dollars), and the other group is “lost bitcon” wallet, holding more than 212,000 BTC. It is worth about $1.3 billion. Studies have shown that since 2011, the group who lost bitcoin wallet has never traded.\n\nAfter analyzing these big bitcoin holders, Chainalysis found that they did not cause currency fluctuations. In the past two years when [bitcoin prices](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) fell, they even bought in large quantities. This kind of activity proves that the big players did not sell Bitcoin in large quantities, but instead added Bitcoin in late 2016 and 2017. This shows that they are almost always bought when bitcoin falls, so they bring stability factors to the market, not instability.",

In this big fall, there is a cryptocurrency that does not fall but rises, and even extends step by step to a new high in history. This cryptocurrency is exactly - [Ethereum coin](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/).\n\nFrom January 6th to January 8th, after Bitcoin plunged 4,000 US dollars, Ethereum rose to more than 1,400 US dollars per piece. According to the price of the off-market, ETH has already exceeded 10,000 RMB/piece.\n\nEthereum has more than 98 million circulations, while bitcoin has only 16 million. In other words, in the past few days, the market value of Ethereum reached half of Bitcoin for the first time. At the same time, among the various speculative groups, the most frequently asked on social networking sites is “When will the [Ethereum market value](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/markets) surpass Bitcoin?”, all the people who hold the eth coin are happy, it seems that the whole world will soon run to the Ethereum platform and release an ERC 20 token.\n\nHowever, the facts are very ruthless. Starting from January 8, Ethereum began a nearly nine-month slump. Although there has been a brief rebound during the period, Ethereum has plummeted 70%, and the [ethereum current price](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/charts) falls below to $200 again. \n\nWith the step-by-step decline of Ethereum, retail investors have become increasingly suspicious of ETH and V, and the idea of the ETH coin that has just emerged from ICO is on the verge of collapse. I believe that if Ethereum continues to fall, the beliefs of investors will be exhausted.\n\nGoogle, Facebook and Twitter have banned Bitcoin and ICO advertising, and ICO is exactly the soul function of Ethereum at this stage. This is a very helpless and sad result. The expected Dapp did not break out. The successful Dapp only had decentralized exchanges with very low depth and speed, simple digital casinos and encrypted cats.\n\nEthereum has been in trouble: ICO is gradually being resisted by big powers and Internet giants. Dapp is subject to the slow response speed of Ethereum and high gas charges. Coupled with the bear market blow, Ethereum prices are mad at 70%. \n\nThe remaining function of Ethereum is only - release currency. As of March 28, according to the statistics on the erases can, there are 63,731 tokens on the Ethereum. According to the largest TPS of Ethereum, about 20 transfers per second, Ethereum runs up to 1.8 million transactions per day. Corresponding to the token, each token cannot be traded more than 1.2 times per hour, otherwise, Ethereum will be completely blocked.\n\nHowever, Ethereum has no retreat. Regardless of whether the blockchain is a new revolution, Bitcoin can at least be used as a collectible for Bitcoin enthusiasts, but Ethereum has no retreat. If the blockchain is a pseudo-ventilation, ICO is no longer popular, what can Ethereum be used for? [Bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) is mainly distributed in the hands of some Bitcoin enthusiasts, while Ethereum is distributed among major investment institutions and countless blockchain projects. When the blockchains wind is over, the major investment institutions and project parties sold off the ETH in their hands, and then re-started the business and re-invested in new enthusiasm. At that time, who will pick up again? If the blockchain is at a crossroads. The same is true of the current Ethereum. So be cautious about your investment in Etnereum now!",

Proponents believe that bitcoin can enable us to seek refuge outside the corrupt fiat currency system, while opponents believe that bitcoin does not have the attributes of the fiat currency and cannot replace it.\n\nRegardless of the public's opinion, as a developer of Bitcoin Core, Jimmy Song should have advocated the use of Bitcoin. However, it is surprising that Jimmy Song proposed that Bitcoin enthusiasts should use credit cards as a means of payment, which caused great controversy. He described this strategy as \"more reasonable and convenient than trading on multiple chains.\" His advice contradicted the underlying theory behind Bitcoin and sparked strong repercussions.\n\nJimmy Song praises fiat currency\nJimmy Song’s call for a credit card has been questioned in some ways. He wrote on Twitter that \"if you want to use bitcoin as a payment method...\", this sentence implies that it is a bit strange to pay with a \"peer-to-peer electronic cash system.\"\n\nJimmy described his proposal: using a credit card for daily payments, and then paying monthly bills in bitcoin. The reason for this is that such a mechanism only needs to perform a single chain transaction, rather than having to perform multiple transactions on a daily basis.\n\nIt's not surprising that many Bitcoin Core developers and various supporters like Jimmy's Twitter. Blockstream's CSO Samson Mow previously thought that \"bitcoin is not suitable for people who live on less than $2 a day (bitcoin is very expensive and the current [bitcoin price today](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) is $6255, you can get the previous bitcoin price by checking the [btc to usd chart history](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/historical%20data)) \" and asserts that these people may not even have enough computer knowledge to securely use cryptocurrencies for transactions.\n\nBitcoin Core developers are not in favor of using Bitcoin for daily expenses\nSome Bitcoin Core developers also expressed similar views to Jimmy, including urging members participating in Bitcoin gatherings not to use Bitcoin to pay for dinner. They believe that the Bitcoin ledger is sacred and inviolable, users should avoid trivial chain transactions for their daily expenses. This view is very strange, especially for those who should promote Bitcoin.\n\nFor those who find Bitcoin early, [buy Bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) at a low price, and then watch their wealth soar, the \"value store\" argument is certainly attractive. The early adopters of bitcoins, especially those living in Western countries, had little incentive to consume their precious bitcoins. However, for people in other parts of the world, they seek refuge outside the corrupt fiat currency system, and bitcoin can be their lifeline. Those who earn less than $2 a day do not have the opportunity to shop with credit cards until they pay off their debts. Therefore, as long as people are encouraged to spend on credit cards, Bitcoin will not change anything.\n\nWhat Jimmy said seems to make us become more confused about whether Bitcoin can replace the fiat currency. But one thing that can be affirmed is that using Bitcoin to collect income and persuading suppliers to accept Bitcoin is the way to escape the fiat currency.",

It opened up a new imagination space for cryptocurrency to enter the mass market. Will the Litecoin debit card and the Litecoin credit card come to the world soon?\n\nIn 2011, Charlie Lee was inspired by Bitcoin ([bitcoin currency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/)) during his tenure at Google, and developed Litecoin based on it. With the brotherhood of \"Bitcoin is gold, Litecoin is silver\", Litecoin once was the second largest cryptocurrency in the total market value. Although the rise of other currencies such as Ethereum and Ripple has led to a decline in the ranking of Litecoin, it is still the seventh largest in more than one thousand cryptocurrencies worldwide as [ltc market cap](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/) is $3,371,234,563 now, and it is one of the world's most popular cryptocurrencies.\n\nWhen Charlie Lee looks at the future development of cryptocurrencies, he believes that what is needed most is a breakthrough that allows cryptocurrencies to open up the mainstream market. And he believes that such a breakthrough is most likely to occur in three forms.\n\n1. Traditional large financial institutions began to introduce cryptocurrency transactions.\nAs the cryptocurrency regulatory policies of governments have become clearer, some traditional financial institutions have begun to express their desire to introduce cryptocurrency services. Nasdaq (NASDAQ) CEO Adena Friedman said in an interview with CNBC in April, \"There is no doubt that Nasdaq will consider setting up a cryptocurrency transaction in the future.\"\n\nCharlie Lee analyzed that the entry of large traditional institutions like Nasdaq will quickly open the cryptocurrency market into the mainstream market, and it will inevitably bring great competitive pressure on the existing cryptocurrency trading platform.\n\n2. Technology giants acquire cryptocurrency platform\n\"Technologies such as Facebook and Google are coming in, which can bring cryptocurrencies to the mainstream market with immediate results,\" Charlie Lee said. For example, the market has been rumored that Facebook intends to acquire Coinbase, the leader of the US cryptocurrency trading platform. With the current total of Facebook's total users of nearly 2.2 billion people, even if only 10% of users are converted to cryptocurrency users, it will be an unimaginable breakthrough.\n\n3.The cryptocurrency platform cooperates with the premium mainstream banks\n“The cryptocurrency trading platform, including Coinbase, has been suffering from the inability to open the door to international mainstream banks such as Citigroup and Rich countries,” said Charlie Lee, who was the head of engineering at the leading US cryptocurrency trading platform. For a long time, these trading platforms can only cooperate with small and medium-sized or regional banks, which hinders the entry of cryptocurrencies into the mainstream. \n“Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple have formed a network effect, and the popularity and liquidity are far superior to the new currency,” says Charlie Lee. Take Litecoin as an example, you don't have to worry about [where to buy Litecoin](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/markets), almost all exchanges around the world are now available, and the [litecoin price](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/charts) now is around $57. However, many new currencies are not easy to buy. He analyzed that if the new currency wants to rise, it must be significantly improved than the old currency to overcome this network effect. But in fact, 99% of the new currency is not even a small improvement. \n\nTherefore, the breakthrough development of the global cryptocurrency has to rely on mainstream currencies. Looking forward the breakthrough of the cryptocurrency community.",

For example, a bank may wish to process a transaction from the US dollar to the Mexican peso. This process usually requires a pre-funded local currency account, but according to Ripple, if the US dollar is converted into an [XRP coin](https://citicoins.com/ripple/), then transfer the funds overseas and converted them to Mexican pesos through the exchange of local digital assets at the other end, this process can be bypassed.\n\nRipple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced at the two-day Swell conference that it will be used by payment providers Mercury FX and Cuallix and partner financial company Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union. Mercury FX primarily helps customers send and receive international payments, Cuallix promotes remittances between the United States and Mexico, and Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union provides a range of financial services to approximately 1,400 credit unions, primarily in the western and southwestern United States.\n\nIn the past, there are other companies have tried to use xRapid, including Western Union, Money Gram, etc. So far, startups have not publicly announced any bank trial xRapid, and said that large banks are unlikely to be the first banks to test or use it. However, Ripple executives said they still maintain partnerships with some of them.\n\nXRP is a cryptocurrency created by the founder of Ripple. Ripple owns most of its XRP, and its vision is to eventually replace the current cross-border payment infrastructure, including Nostro and Vostro accounts, and the aging SWIFT messaging system.\n\nRipple announced the results of its first blockchain payment report in a keynote speech at the Swell Conference held a few days ago. The report shows that global payment based on blockchain is reaching critical mass this year, and organizations around the world are already seeking to integrate digital asset payment processes. More specifically, blockchain and digital assets provide a modern international payment track approach and can be as fast, simple, transparent, and reliable as cross-border remittances like mobile information.\n\nThe development marks the first time XRP will be used in the commercial application of financial services companies and is seen as a key milestone for Ripple's attempt to make cryptocurrency and underlying blockchain technology a part of the financial mainstream. This movement may attracted many investors to [buy Ripple coins](https://citicoins.com/ripple/markets).\n\nGarlinghouse believes that \"tens of\" banks will use XRP by the end of 2019. The company's xRapid products are targeted at banks that transfer funds to emerging markets. Previously CNBC reported that Ripple gradually launched [ripple news](https://citicoins.com/ripple/social) about xRapid. Bank of America PNC also reached a strategic cooperation with it. We can see from the [xrp chart](https://citicoins.com/ripple/charts) for the past week that XRP prices soared due to the positive news, but it didn't take long to fall into a downturn.\n\n![xrp chart.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWZeRTFHYKPCNDT7LFmxWZtttgD2QGdHZh95oJVRy43Sk/xrp%20chart.png)\n\nThe financial technology company has partnered with many banks, but so far these partners have focused on testing and using their xCurrent products, which banks use to track payment information in real time, eliminating the need for counterparties to speed up the settlement process. Therefore, xRapid has to work with more banks to succeed, but this is not an easy one.",

One of the most representative is the surge in search for \"bitcoin\" on Google. In mid-December, Bitcoin search fever soared to 100%, ranking second in Google's 2017 hot topic list, the [btc to usd](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) price has soared to $20,000 at the same time. However, the currency market is unpredictable, and the cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin seems to be overnight. As prices have plummeted, people seem to be greatly less interested in it.\n\nBitcoin search heat: from 100 to single digits\nOn October 5th, as of last week, the global Bitcoin search fever dropped to 8, and Google search Bitcoin ([bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/)) and Ethereum ([eth coin](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/)) hit an 18-month low. And the search fever has become more and more serious. One of the reasons for the decline in Bitcoin and Ethereum search heat is the current bear market environment, where people's desire to invest falls, which is reflected in the search fever. Related industries are also facing problems such as falling performance, and the global first mining machine manufacturers are also actively expanding additional business.\n\nLet’s understand the search heat change data of Bitcoin, Ethereum and blockchain over the past year based on a set of data:\nBitcoin search popularity (using \"Bitcoin\" as a search keyword):\nUnited States: Down to the lowest point of 6 as of October 6\nChina: Down to the lowest point of 7 as of October 6\nGlobal: Down to the lowest point of as of October 6\nWhether it is in the world, China or the United States, the popularity of Bitcoin search in the past year has generally declined, only soaring at the end of 2017, and then all the way down.\n\nEthereum search heat (using \"Ethereum\" as the search key):\nUnited States: currently at its lowest point 7\nChina: around at 25\nGlobal: Down to the lowest point as of October 6\nIn the past year, Ethereum's search data was similar to Bitcoin, and US and global data also surged only at the end of 2017 and then continued to fall. The [ethereum price](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/charts) also declined dramatically in the bear market.\n\nBlockchain search popularity (using \"blockchain\" as a search keyword):\nAs a technology closely related to cryptocurrency, the search heat of blockchain is naturally closely related to cryptocurrency. At the end of 2017, the blockchain Google search fever climbed to 100 (using \"Blockchain\" as the search keyword). At the end of last year, the Google search heat of the “blockchain” also showed an upward trend. As for the blockchain search data this year, the overall trend is still lower. And it is roughly the same as Bitcoin and Ethereum search trends.\n\nOn the whole, these search data are in line with the current market performance, to a certain extent, reflecting the public's attention to the blockchain and cryptocurrency.\n\nThe bear market may be the main reason for the decline in search data, but the data is not eternal. As blockchain technology is being paid more attention and applied, it is believed that the degree of attention will gradually increase. This may be the only way for blockchain technology to be mature.",

Several facilitators such as the Bitcoin ETF and the traditional market are likely to be the beginning of the next bull market. But uncertainty is still an important feature of the encryption market. It is difficult to predict when funds will flow into the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin has the danger of falling below $4,500, and historical data (including the bitcoin historical data which shown by the [bitcoin history graph](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/historical%20data)) suggests that this usually occurs in the last quarter of each year. Not only the encryption market, but also the traditional market is likely to plummet in the fourth quarter. The rise in TRX and IOTA does not obscure the market's overall bear market trend, and the megatrend is still bearish. But from the recent related bitcoin news, the acceptance of bitcoin is growing.\n\n1. American rapper released a new single \"Bitcoin\"\nAccording to bitcoin.com, US rapper Soulja Boy became the latest celebrity who wanted to connect himself with cryptocurrencies after releasing his new single \"Bitcoin\".\n\n2. A man in Shanxi province stealing train power to mine bitcoin was sentenced to 3 and a half years\nThe Railway Transport Court of Justice opened a special \"miner theft\" on September 13. A man was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for stealing bitcoin from the power of the train and was fined 100,000 yuan.\n\n3. Venezuelan [bitcoin trading](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) volume exceeded 1000 last week\nAccording to Localbitcoins, Venezuela has traded 1,073 bitcoins (about $7.1 million) in the most recent week, the highest since 2013. The previous record was a total of 898 bitcoins traded in the third week of September.\n\nThe above 3 [bitcoin news](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/social) all indicate that everyone is more and more aware and recognizes the value of Bitcoin. The acceptance of Bitcoin is getting higher and higher. This is the sign that bitcoin is replacing the fiat currency and becoming a new payment method. In addition, British lawmakers use BTC to make donations to charities; online auto retailer Newparts said he will accept seven digital currency payments, including bitcoin. Of course, these piece of news is not enough to affect the  Bitcoin price in the short term, but in the long run, it will have a subtle influence on the value of Bitcoin. I personally think that the price of Bitcoin needs to break through the $6,800 mark. Once the $6,800 mark is broken, based on the strong performance of emerging market assets and ETFs, the price of Bitcoin is likely to experience an explosive wave of fluctuations before December.",

      "body": "![swell by ripple.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme16W3rb2mgJ833N1moyyRSvTDbZUUPeBxMjAVxH1A8AU/swell%20by%20ripple.jpg)\n\nThe 2nd Annual Swell by Ripple Conference is over! San Francisco Time On October 1st and 2nd, global experts in policy, payment and technology gathered at the Swell by Ripple conference in San Francisco to discuss future payment methods.\n\nRipple is the world's first open payment network, through which any currency can be transferred. Compared with the traditional way of remittance by bank, there is no cross-border, cross-border payment of Ripple, the transaction can be confirmed within a few seconds, and the transaction cost is almost zero, easy and fast. And this meeting called Swell is Ripple's annual conference. Then, what are the highlights of this Swell conference?\n\nRipple CEO: The three conditions of value Internet are indispensable\nAt the beginning of the conference, Brad Garlinghouse mentioned Ripple's mission: to become the value of the Internet, so that the world can transmit and receive value just like today's sending and receiving of information. But if you want to achieve the ultimate goal of \"value transfer,\" the industry must first address the conditions that are currently missing: the transmission of goods, the transmission of data, and the transmission of funds. The three are indispensable.\n\nWhen we conduct cross-border remittances now, complicated procedures, high costs, and trading hours of several days are all examples of the problem of capital transmission. And that's exactly what Ripple is trying to solve with blockchain technology. For example, RippleNet, one of Ripple's products, is a payment network that uses [Ripple blockchain](https://citicoins.com/ripple/) technology for cross-border transactions. RippleNet includes financial institutions in more than 40 countries. Recently, PNC Bank and the National Commercial Bank of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have joined the network.\n\nxRapid officially launched\nAt the conference, Garlinghouse also announced a big [ripple news](https://citicoins.com/ripple/social): Ripple's new product, xRapid, went live. That is to say, people can now use Ripple's partner Cuallix to use Ripple's token XRP to make real-time payments from the US to Mexico! This also means that Ripple has achieved phased results in solving the problem of fund transfer.\n\nThe significance of xRapid is that it is the actual settlement of the transaction. In addition, xRapid uses XRP, and other Ripple products do not have to use XRP, which is also of great significance to Ripple.\n\nThe xRapid developed by Ripple is very easy to use and user friendly, but the development process is very difficult and requires many very talented computer scientists. The global banking system is very complex, and xRapid wants to be a simple and efficient trading system in a complex banking system, and the challenges can be imagined. However, xRapid uses Ripple's own token XRP as a “transfer station” for cross-border settlement. Recently, the [XRP price](https://citicoins.com/ripple/charts) has fluctuated and fluctuated greatly. Does this kind of volatility affect people's confidence in using XRP as a “transfer station” for cross-border settlement?\n\nCompared to the volatility of XRP a year ago, XRP is now much more stable. And if you use SWIFT for cross-border remittances now, since the entire transaction takes up to several days, the funds of the remitter are exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations in these days, so they also bear certain risks. Of course, the fiat currency generally does not fluctuate as much as XRP, but it needs to be exposed to exchange rate risk for 3-5 days. If the sender uses xRapid and remittance through XRP, the transaction is completed more quickly. Exposure to the value fluctuations of the XRP or [ripple exchange rate](https://citicoins.com/ripple/markets) itself is only 3-5 seconds. As a result, exchange rate risk is significantly reduced as the time required for the remitter to expose the risk is significantly reduced.\n\nWill Ripple enter the Chinese market in the future?\nRegardless of whether it is remitted in or remitted out, China is one of the four countries with the most frequent cross-border remittances in the world. Therefore, Chinese banks and financial institutions want to interact with the rest of the world, and hope that this interaction can be accurate and rapid. Therefore, Ripple has a natural space for cooperation with China. Although Ripple does not currently have a Chinese customer, Cory revealed that Ripple has actions throughout Asia. As for when to enter China? It’s hard to imagine that in today’s global interactions, China’s remittance business will not want to use a faster, more convenient and cheaper way.",

      "body": "![ethereum.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTgipA1F2unHbVFv5S2bsFPqa614yykX3KyxEjKMdjwdS/ethereum.jpg)\n\nIn mid-September, the Ethereum price fell below$200. Although [ethereum price today](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/charts) have picked up to more than $200, the overall performance has not been good recently. So how should we treat or explain the price of Ethereum falling below $200?\n\nSince the team is working, and the wages need to be paid with fiat currency (USDT). Therefore, many ICO project parties dump a large number of eth coins and exchange them into fiat coins for wages, which causes Ethereum to fall.\n\nAt the earliest, there is only one kind of cryptocurrency-bitcoin, and many [bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) was used to raise funds. In the second half of 2014, the founder of Ethereumraised 31,000 bitcoins, which had a market value of 18 million U.S. dollars. Then he used the bitcoin to pay for the development of Ethereum. After one year, Only 500 bitcoins remain on the account of the Ethereum Foundation.\n\nIt is common to see in the cryptocurrency community, because in addition to anonymous projects like Bitcoin, there are many projects that are not developed in the open source community, decentralized social collaboration, and the overall scale of fundraising continues to expand. As the currency of the raised funds, it is naturally subject to huge selling (paying) pressure.\n\nAs ICOs are so hot last year, there are hundreds of projects with large amounts of funds raised, the Ethereum price naturally plunged with so many projects selling eth coins,and the [ethereum market](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/markets) is bleak. Moreover, it should be noted that during the decline of Bitcoin, Ethereum was still very strong. It once rushed to a thousand dollars. As the ICO boom faded, it naturally turned into a weak position and made up for it. This kind of decline will have a full-fledged effect on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, opening up a long bear market and re-accumulating potential energy.\n\nFor the [ethereum coin](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/), it can remain its price at this level with the ICO boom recede, making it a position as one of the core currency of the cryptocurrency community. \n\nThe development route of Ethereum is divided into four stages. The third stage is divided into two, namely the Metropolitan Byzantine (completed) and the two versions of Constantinople. The second version involves the conversion of PoW into PoS. which has recently been postponed to 2020, the current news is that this version of Constantinople will be upgraded this year, but it does not include the EIP of Casper (PoS), but it is an adjustment to reduce the block reward. I don't think this is a good thing or a bad one because it's completely usable, and it's more important to improve the performance of R&D and fragmentation.\n\nIn general. Ethereum is not dying even its price declined dramatically, this is only because the ICO boom is fading. If hundreds of teams can create some breakthrough innovations, then it is possible to drive the trend of the market, but this is uneasy, because it still needs to pay wages in the short term or even for a long time.",

The platform said that ethereum and dogecoin supported BCH shortly thereafter.\n\nBCH was forked from the Bitcoin network in 2017, and today Bitcoin ABC is responsible for its major development work. The topic that has been controversial for BCH is whether BCH can be forked.\n\nAt a roundtable discussion, Amaury Sechet, lead developer at Bitcoin ABC, said that since 2017, the fork has been decreasing. Bitcoin ABC is the most popular Bitcoin Cash ([BCH cryptocurrency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/) client, with more than 50% of nodes currently operating on this software. BCH has won support from several mining pools and mining giant Bits, as it enables direct expansion of the block and helps the network handle more transactions.\n\nSechet said that as long as a cryptocurrency is forked, the network effect of the blockchain will be very damaging, affecting its ability to create future value. \"This kind of thing can only happen a few times,\" he added, and most of the future cryptocurrency will eventually become meaningless.\n\nHe argues that the value of the fork lies in the differences behind it. The more arguments, the more likely a project will move toward two competing paths.\n\nLiao Xiang, CEO of Lightning Intelligence, also agreed with this view. He said that compared with last year, the internal contradictions of the community at this stage seem to be less intense. If there is no contradiction, there will be no forks, because the forks need someone to support them. Last year, Liao Xiang also forked Bitcoin Gold from the Bitcoin network, aiming to replace the ASIC mining machine needed for [bitcoin mining](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) with graphics chips.\n\nJames Wo, head of ETC Labs, also believes that the most basic value of cryptocurrency is due to community disagreements, and that there is a fork only when there is a huge disagreement in the community. In 2016, after Ethereum implemented a hard fork, Ethereum Classic (ETC) was still operating in the original code of Ethereum.\n\nWhen asked how to look at the competition between the fork and the original network, they all believe that although the two have developed towards different goals and user groups, to some extent, there is still competition.\n\nWo acknowledges that there is competition between ETC and Ethereum ([eth coin](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/)), but they all exist to meet the needs of different users. For example, ETC is suitable for those looking for lower transaction costs, while Ethereum is to explore diversified services.\n\nSechet also believes that there is competition between the forks, but the goals of Bitcoin and BCH are completely different: The goals that these two projects want to achieve are different and the target users are different.",

At first glance, Dash will become the second largest currency in the darknet. However, after further research, this is not the case. \n\nThe underground economy relies on small transactions in its day-to-day operations, with average product or service costs ranging from $50 to $300. As transaction fees increase, the price of a product or service will rise sharply.\n\nThe concept of bitcoin payments is based on the idea of decentralized ledgers, which maintain all records of all transactions independently, which makes it almost (but not completely) tamperable. This technology also makes the blockchain network resilient, relying on a distributed miner network to maintain transaction history, which gives dishonest users the opportunity to spend Bitcoin twice. To address this abuse, most vendors have adopted a rule that requires three confirmations before marking the transaction as complete.\n\nAs with all business activities, the speed of payment completion is critical- especially for the darknet. Due to its inherent risks and distrust between members, every minute of delay increases the likelihood that a transaction will be canceled. Transfers have to wait 24 hours to confirm, and they have to pay a high fee, which has prevented a large number of bad people from using Bitcoin for payment, and now they see Bitcoin as a barrier to the spread of criminal business.\n\nAlthough Dash has been overwhelmingly supported as a successor to Bitcoin, a poll conducted by hundreds of members of a popular crime forum shows which currency should be used next, with no uniform answer. \n\nIn order to understand and predict the upcoming changes in the next 6 to 12 months, Recorded Future analyzed 150 of the most important message boards, markets and illegal services. Bitcoin is still the currency of the darknet, all suppliers still use it as a means of payment. Litecoin ([ltc coin](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/)) is the second most popular currency Among them, 30% of suppliers use Litecoin as an alternative payment method. Dash is close behind, accounting for 20% of the market. Unexpectedly, Bitcoin cash ([bch coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/)) is the third most common cryptocurrency, and 13% of suppliers recognize it as a form of payment.\n\nLitecoin is the second oldest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. It was launched in 2011 with the aim of becoming an optimized version of Bitcoin. The core technology of Litecoin is almost the same as Bitcoin, but with slight improvements, these improvements enable it to trade faster, significantly reducing commissions and increasing the number of mines. In the seven years since its launch, Litecoin has been able to carry a wide range of Bitcoin infrastructure. Of course, Litecoin also has all the features of Bitcoin, and it does not provide any additional security for its owners. Like Bitcoin, the Litecoin transaction is completely transparent. Once Litecoin becomes the next dominant currency of the darknet, the [litecoin value](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/charts) will rise to a new level.",

The dominant position of Ethereum is 10.8% of the total market value of cryptocurrency. Despite the fact that the [ethereum value](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/charts) is still unstable, many traders believe that digital assets may get worse before they get better. The decline of Ethereum is attributed to the following three factors:\n\nICO cashed in ETH during the ICO boom from December this year to the end of February this year. In a tweet on September 18th, Weiss Ratings said that ETH will grab 50% of [bitcoin market](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) share in five years. Mathematical calculations mean that Ethereum is dominated by Bitcoin in the market and will account for approximately 38%. BTC will be half of its current value, accounting for 27.6% of the total encrypted market capitalization.\n\nThe full tweet from Weiss Ratings will continue to explain why this happens:\" Bitcoin will lose 50% of cryptocurrency's market share to ETH in 5 years because it provides more use and is supported by the excellent blockchain technology. We totally agree - unlike BTC, this is A single pony, the application limit of ETH is the sky itself.\"\n\nWhen the value of alt-coins no longer depends on the value of bitcoin, Flippening is defined as a paradigm shift of the cryptographic section. Roger Ver predicted earlier this year that Ethereum will launch [bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) by the end of this year. However, when Bitcoin remained stable, Ethereum had collapsed, which has not been successful.\n\nOne of the responses to the above tweets accused Weiss Ratings of being financially motivated to make such a request. Another person thinks that Weiss's team doesn't know the technical details behind each platform they talk about.\n\nThe tweet will continue to explain:“First, Ethereum has a greater expansion challenge than Bitcoin. High-end devices are now needed to synchronize a complete Geth node. As the DAO crash proves, it is difficult to write a safe and error-free contract for [eth coin](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/). Bitcoin is more streamlined and safer.\"\n\nFrom an observer's point of view, every current news headline has bitcoin  that draws the attention of major Wall Street firms through ETFs and ETNs. It can be concluded that the flips specified by the Weiss rating will not occur in the next 5 year. We have Wall Street's heavyweights, such as Bakkt, Nasdaq and the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and are willing to use Bitcoin as the next best investment option after traditional stocks.\n\nThe only way in which rollovers can occur is for Ethereum core developers to fix security vulnerabilities in platform smart contracts and address scalability issues. This will then allow the Ethereum platform to be used to issue registered securities in the blockchain and fund companies via IPO.",

The decline of one dynasty is the rise of another dynasty. This rule is applicable in many places. The same is true of the world of [Bitcoin currency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/). Although Bitcoin has dominated for many years, as its own shortcomings become more and more obvious, there will be new cryptocurrencies to replace it and take the hegemony. From now on, the most likely successor is the Litecoin and Bitcoin cash. Which one will be better? The following will compare the two in several ways.\n\nMining algorithm\nBoth Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash inherit the Bitcoin POW mechanism, but the Litecoin has been modified in the algorithm, using the Scrypt encryption algorithm, and Bitcoin cash is still the SHA256 encryption algorithm like Bitcoin. In the decryption process, the SHA256 encryption algorithm only needs to perform hash collision decryption, which is suitable for parallel computing. Therefore, it is easy to develop a dedicated mining chip (ASIC mining machine) to improve efficiency. The Scrypt encryption algorithm of Litecoin is not suitable for parallel computing. Litecoin used the Scrypt algorithm because it was difficult to develop the Litecoin-specific mining machine, but it was counterproductive. The special mining machine for the Scrypt algorithm was still mined and widely used. So from this perspective, the mining algorithm of Litecoin isn’t much better than that of Bitcoin Cash.\n\nExpansion plan\nLitecoin, like BCE, locks the 1MB limit. Only increase the speed of its own block by an increment (the block interval is shortened from 10 minutes to 2.5 minutes). Bitcoin cash is directly adjusted to a block size of 8MB, and then upgraded to 32MB, increasing transaction speed by increasing transaction processing capacity per second. This means that Bitcoin cash will be able to accommodate more users.\n\nDirection of development\nThe improvement of Litecoin only linearly improved the performance of Bitcoin. For example, the confirmation speed is a little faster, and the TPS is slightly larger. Bitcoin cash is innovative, first in the payment field, to use its own advantages to help more people, followed by exiting smart contracts, color coins and other technologies to create a commonality like Ethereum for some projects development.\n\nTrading volume and handling fee\nFrom the data of the first half of 2018, the average handling fee for [BCH cryptocurrency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/) is 0.0118 US dollars for half a year, and the US dollar is 0.0765 US dollars for LTC, which is nearly 7 times higher than BCH. It can clearly see the handling fee of BCH is far less than LTC. This shows that BCH is more suitable for trading. This has also been verified by the actions of social network Yours. The payment currency originally used by Yours was Bitcoin, but as the Bitcoin handling fee was too high, the final payment was for Litecoin. When Bitcoin cash was born, Yours changed its payment currency to Bitcoin cash.\n\nDegree of decentralization\nJudging whether a cryptocurrency is decentralized, mainly from three aspects: whether the transaction will be censored, the network's self-recovery ability, whether it can allow free access to the network. Both BCH and LTC meet these three conditions, but Litecoin is greatly influenced by its founder. While Bitcoin cash is the only cryptocurrency developed by multiple development teams. In terms of currency, the top 100 account of Litecoin holds LTC with 45% of total supply, while Bitcoin cash is only 25%. In summary, BCH is more decentralized than LTC.\n\ninvestment\nBitcoin cash and Litecoin are mainstream currencies. From the market capitalization ranking, BCH market cap ranks fourth, [litecoin market cap](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/) ranks sixth, and BCH price is about 10 times of Litecoin. The most important thing is Litecoin seems to be insufficiently explosive this year due to the excessive strength of last year. In contrast, Bitcoin cash is full of explosive power, and the doubling in April is the best illustration.\n\nIn summary, I personally have more confidence in Bitcoin cash or [bch value](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin-cash/charts). In the battle for the bitcoin hegemony, I think Bitcoin cash is more likely to win.",

Sagar Sarbhai, Ripple's head of regulatory relations in the Asia Pacific and Middle East, told CNBC that [Ripple xrp](https://citicoins.com/ripple/) is making progress in launching its product xRapid. The xRapid product is a real-time billing platform for accelerating international payments. xRapid is built for commercial purposes and is supported by XRP tokens. It minimizes liquidity costs and makes cross-border payment transactions faster.\n\nxPaid has been tested in 12 banks before launch\nSagar Sarbhai claimed at a recent financial technology conference that xRapid has been trialed at 12 banks before launch. He said: \"In 2016, we piloted 12 banks. These 12 banks are located all over the world and there is no pre-financing relationship between them. What we do is to give these banks some XRP and let them solve the problem by themselves. The result is very good.\"\n\nThis exciting [Ripple xrp news](https://citicoins.com/ripple/social) led to the rise of the whole cryptocurrency market. \n\n![cryptocurrency ranking chart.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPQRspbX6qM83BG7sQ1MEPStdFWKYuT2wg3BcfLpY5yjW/cryptocurrency%20ranking%20chart.png)\n\nThe market value of the top 100 currencies was over 80%, and XRP led the gains as [xrp price](https://citicoins.com/ripple/charts) increased 18.52%. After the news was reported, in the top 100 currencies of the market value, the over 80% of the currencies are now rising, and XRP (+18.52%) leads the gains. In the CBT20 currency, except for DOGE (-3.73%), XTZ (-0.10%), and USDT (-0.14%), all currencies showed an increase, and the average increase is 3.73%, of which BTC increased by 1.40% and ETH increased by 6.63%. The larger ones are XRP (+18.52%), ADA (+8.96%), and EOS (+4.88%). In the top 100 currencies of the market value, the over 80% of the currencies were up, and the average increase was 11.17%.\n\nAlthough Ripple has been reported good news continuously, but didn’t benefit to the XRP price, because there is no direct relationship between XRP and Ripple, but the reason that xRapid's upcoming news can drive the price of XRP is that xRapid is the only one product of Ripple which needs to use XRP as the support. The market performance brought by this news is more favorable to illustrate the relationship between XRP and Ripple, which has been controversial for a long time.\n\nAnyway, after a period of market downturn, this news undoubtedly restored investors' information on the cryptocurrency market to a certain extent, especially the [Ripple market](https://citicoins.com/ripple/markets). I’m looking forward to xRapid's official launch next month will bring a wave of benefits to investors.",

Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin, foresees the future payment problems of Bitcoin and takes action by designing a more convenient blockchain-[litecoin blockchain](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/).\n\nBitcoin has been the focus of media attention for several years. But people's attention may eventually turn to Litecoin. It is true that in the shadow of the modern ICO boom and even the bitcoin cash experiment, the Litecoin is indeed very good.\n\nIn June of this year, an article in Business Insider discussed how the $99 million Litecoin was sent for 40 cents. In February, EU online retailer Alza.cz began accepting Litecoin as a payment method in February 2018. Alza.cz is one of the largest retail stores in the Czech Republic. They posted an announcement via Twitter. In addition, the first lightning network transaction was completed by Litecoin, and the 0.00000001 LTC was transferred from Zurich to San Francisco in less than a second.\n\nThen, Wirex, which has long provided cryptocurrency debit cards, announced that it will begin supporting Litecoin. Wirex's full Litecoin integration allows users to use Litecoin's payment cards. Users can even exchange dozens of altcoins to Litecoin, which may simplify the process of withdrawing cash from ICO or cryptocurrency. This means the [litecoin markets](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/markets) is potential.\n\n\"Wirex is a growing platform, and we naturally want to add new services and currencies, Litecoin has great potential and a huge community, so the market has a great demand for this service.\" said Pavel Matviev, CEO of the company.\n\nAs the company wrote on its blog: \"Last year's customer survey showed that Litecoin is popular as a substitute for [Bitcoin currency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/). Litecoin is faster than Bitcoin and blockchain costs are lower, in the coming months it may become a global payment option for dozens of large brand websites.\"\n\nWirex has added a limited number of payment cards, which has also contributed to the development of Litecoin. As Charlie Lee recently said on Twitter: \"Coinbase's Shift Visa debit card can be linked to any wallet in your Coinbase account. Therefore, in addition to BTC, it can also be set from your LTC (or ETH/BCH) ) Deducted from the wallet.\"\n\nAnother cryptocurrency debit card provider, TenX, recently announced plans for a future Litecoin debit card on their blog. “We have partnered with the Litecoin Foundation to launch a co-branded card and more information will be available soon.”\nAs a point-to-point cryptocurrency and fork for the Bitcoin core client, Litecoin was released on an open source client on GitHub on October 7, 2011. The key difference between Bitcoin and Litecoin is that Litecoin shortens block generation time (2.5 minutes), increases the maximum number of coins (84 million minutes), and uses different hashing algorithms (using scrypt instead of SHA-256) and the modified GUI.\n\nThese reasons combine to make Litecoin a useful payment option not only for individuals but also for businesses. As Lee intended. Support for Lightning Networks, Alza.cz and Wirex may be a sign of a wave of payment commercial exploration for the upcoming Litecoin, and [litecoin value](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/charts) may rise to a new level.",

Ripple's main focus is to help global remittances and become a leading solution. We all know that it still faces fierce competition with SWIFT. Encrypted currencies have attracted a lot of attention since their inception, but they still face security-related debates.\n\nTechnically, Ripple trades between $0.27 and $0.30. In addition, [ripple price](https://citicoins.com/ripple/charts) structure in a short-term time is still at a low high and a low low, but its chart shows that it has slowed since falling from $0.35. The first possible support is the August low or the 2018 low and the circular area of $0.25. If it gets support from this area, then we will also see a bullish chart pattern called \"double bottom.\"\n\nSubsequently, the market analysis of the known trader easyMarkets pointed out that: “XRPUSD is close to our support at 0.3349 (horizontal overlap support, 61.8% Fibonacci extension, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, short-term upside support) and may have a strong rebound above this level, pushing prices Rise to our main resistance at 0.3499 (horizontal swing high resistance, 61.8% Fibonacci extension, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement). Stochastic (89, 5, 3) close to support, if rebound exceeds this The level may rise correspondingly.\"\n\nIn other words, Ripple is one step ahead because the cryptocurrency won the lawsuit and was not declared a security. The lawsuit was recently “dismissed by the California State Court and must not be biased”.\n\n\nRipple also has an in-depth understanding of one of its products, xCurrent, through video. The latest [ripple news](https://citicoins.com/ripple/social) reveals how xCurrent addresses the long-standing problems faced by SMBs, including lack of transparency, traceability and additional information. Ripple's xCurrent focuses on solving these problems and is a permanent solution to the transaction costs associated with SMEs. Even if this is done, the blockchain company cannot convince its community.\n\nOn the other hand, xRapid, another cross-border payment product from Ripple, will be available before the end of the year and is undergoing different tests by Cuallix and Zipremit.\n\nRipple plans to combine xVia, xRapid and xCurrent into a solution called Convergence; this is based on Jim Chauncey-Kelly, Ripple Talent Recruitment Director.\n\nAccording to the company, Convergence is software that synchronizes all Ripple products. It is also added that through Convergence, the industry can transfer funds from one country to another and still enjoy speed and flexibility with low transaction costs.\n\nRipple also replied to critics about the \"centralization\" of his agreement. Ripple CTO David Schwartz said XRP is a bitcoin-like diversified coin. However, there are still concerns and problems regarding the centralization of blockchain projects.\n\nDespite this, Ripple seems to be the leader in terms of large-scale adoption, because even companies like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group recognize the use of Ripple solutions in different parts of the world. The company is looking to improve its position as the leading solution for global remittances. Its xRapid will be online soon, which may attract more financial technology companies to adopt it. So in the eyes of minority investors, the [ripple market](https://citicoins.com/ripple/markets) has great potential, but not for most investors.",

You must have continuously heard about much good news and bad news about it, which influence the price of ripple and the emotion of many investors. Here I’ll update some [ripple coin news](https://citicoins.com/ripple/social) when it is on the downturn.\n\nNews 1.Executive Vice President of MasterCard: Provided guidance to Ripple a few years ago\nBianews, September 13th, according to Globalcoinreport, MasterCard Executive Vice President Colleen Taylor revealed that the company provided guidance to Ripple from 2011 to 2012, when Ripple came to MasterCard for strategic advice on expanding products. \n\nWhen Ripple asked if MasterCard could spend a few days developing a product strategy plan for them, Taylor didn't hesitate. According to Taylor, this is because MasterCard sees Ripple's agility and MasterCard scale, which is a perfect match for MasterCard.\n\nNews 2.FBI and South Korean police jointly crack down on \"Ripple XRP\" cryptocurrency phishing scam\nBianews September 16th news, according to coincryptorama reported that the South Korean police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation jointly attacked an international XRP phishing scam. \"XRP\" is a digital token provided by Ripple, which has been involved in a scam in South Korea and Japan. According to reports, the scam was carried out by two people, an employer and a programmer. The programmer was a 42-year-old officer. The two scammers stole more than $800,000 worth of XRP among dozens of victims in both countries. So be cautious to [buy ripple coin](https://citicoins.com/ripple/markets) in the complex cryptocurrency market.\n\nNews 3. Saudi Arabian National Commercial Bank joins RippleNet\nBianews September 17th news, according to coincryptorama news, Saudi Arabian National Commercial Bank (NCB) announced that it will use [Ripple blockchain](https://citicoins.com/ripple/) platform to improve the remittance in and out of the country, will provide bank customers faster, more transparent International payment service.\n\nNews 4.Ripple and R3 blockchain alliance reached a settlement agreement after a 12-month legal dispute\nRipple issued a press release on September 10, 2018, saying that R3 and Ripple have reached a settlement agreement on all pending litigation. \"The terms of the agreement will be kept confidential and both parties expect to place these disputes behind. ”\n\nRipple has also been in a downturn recently, with prices falling below $0.3 on September 7. The current [ripple xrp price](https://citicoins.com/ripple/charts) is about $0.28, with no signs of recovery. Fortunately, it has consistently ranked third because of its outstanding performance in the cross-border payment field.",

According to a recent statement by ICE founder (Jeffrey Sprecher), Bitcoin could become the world's first accepted currency. This is an extraordinary achievement, it can be made by encryption, which makes it even more excellent. Now, Sprecher has a plan that allows Bitcoin to take the next step to achieve this goal.\n\nThe plan includes the creation and release of a new company called Bakkt. The company will become a bridge between [bitcoin coin](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/), Wall Street and Main Street. In a recent interview, Sprecher said that Bitcoin has great potential and Bakkt will have a unique opportunity to reach it.\n\nUltimately, Bitcoin can be the preferred global currency, which will greatly simplify the process of transferring funds globally. In addition, the move will also introduce physical delivery of BTC futures and hosted cryptographic assets. Not only that, but some companies will join the move, including Microsoft and Starbucks. While this does not mean that Starbucks will actually begin accepting BTC, as some recent headlines incorrectly indicate that it will accept the fiat money that can be obtained by [bitcoin trading](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) on the Bakkt platform.\n\nThe move will also represent a major change in the ICE itself, considering that it is only a little over half a year, it said it does not want to rush to deal with Bitcoin and its products.\n\nBitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been continually working hard to get into mainstream use for a long time. The [bitcoin value](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) was finally realized.  Unfortunately, most of them did not succeed in any major victory in this field. Now, with the help of ICE, this may become a reality. Not only that, it may also attract a new generation of investors.\n\nWhile older investors remain the biggest skeptics of new technologies, the younger generation is also very cautious about traditional financial institutions. Sprecher himself said that he said that millennials do not trust ordinary banks, asset management companies, brokerage companies, etc. If these institutions want to attract young users, they will have to provide them with the currency of their beliefs, and BTC may be a perfect choice.\n\nSprecher realized this a long time ago, and he even said in April that cryptocurrency is not a negligible trend. To some extent, he criticized the confidence of the younger generation in Nakamoto and not the Fed. However, he also realized that this is the case, and everyone needs to adapt to the new situation in order to maintain relevance.",

Some governments have used banks to spam banknotes, create hyperinflation, and madly plunder the wealth of local people.\n\nTake Venezuela, where inflation has been extremely severe recently as an example, according to the latest forecast of IMF, as the government continues to print money to make up for the expanding budget gap, by the end of this year, inflation in Venezuela is likely to soar to 1000000%, making it one of the countries with the highest inflation rate in modern history. The bitcoin that appeared in despair made Venezuela and the African poor of similar fate see the hope of a better life. And you must have heard some [bitcoin news](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/social) about btc coins saving people who suffered from inflation.\n\nIn Africa and South America, a large number of poor people have avoided the looting of wealth by the ruling class because of cryptocurrencies. The essence of the central monetary system on which human society currently depends is based on a relationship of trust. Because you trust the bank and trust the country, this system can work. While Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency as [bitcoin market cap](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) ranks NO.1, completely overturned the system. In this new world, the national, banking, and other authority symbols disappeared. The entire ecology of Bitcoin is built on the blockchain technology, and the integrity and trust of the entire set of operating rules behind it are guaranteed by the technology and the code itself.\n\nBitcoin is extremely limited in supply, and many bitcoins can be seen as permanent losses. Therefore, Bitcoin has its special value in combating hyperinflation. It is its existence that supports the poor people in the hyperinflation countries and the hope of living barely. In the future, Bitcoin can not only prevent the rogue countries from plundering the people naked, but also promote the local democratic process and improve the living standards of the local people. At present, Africa is actually an experimental field for cryptocurrencies to change human society.\n\nBitcoin is the natural enemy of hyperinflation. However, many people regard bitcoin as a tool for terrorism and money laundering. I think this understanding is wrong. First of all, I think the biggest driver of organized crime is cash. Many other modern inventions, such as the Internet, Weibo, cars and mobile phones, are used by criminals. But this does not mean that we have to stop the pace of scientific and technological progress. The advancement of science and technology is definitely more beneficial to the development of human society than harm.\n\nMoreover, there is not much evidence that Bitcoin is now being exploited by malicious people. Remember: Bitcoin is not completely anonymous and not trackable, and every bitcoin transaction is recorded on the blockchain, which can be queried. The British government's research on the best channels for money laundering has always shown that the possibility of using Bitcoin to launder money is very low.\n\nAnyway, the [bitcoin value](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) in inflation is undeniable, and as African governments continue to plunder the wealth of African people through inflation, bitcoin will be accepted by more and more African people, which means that Bitcoins trading volume and [bitcoin market value](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) will increase.",

      "body": "![litecoin.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbAZaqPaJXh62Dzc3nc4ERrzGgRWfL3gomhDUsaHRV35M/litecoin.jpg)\n\nThere has been a lot of discussion on the Internet about \"litecoin is dead\" recently, mainly because of the sharp drop in prices in the past few months.\n\nLitecoin is dying? I think it is unreliable to say that the Litecoin is dying, or that it has lost its second position in cryptocurrency. Litecoin still has many advantages, which makes it the seventh largest cryptocurrency ([litecoin market cap](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/) ranked 7th)in the world.\n\nWhy is there so much rumor about litecoin is dying? It may lie in the cryptocurrency community's misunderstanding of the universality of finance and the special nature of Litecoin. Litecoin founder Charlie Lee recently said in an interview that not only the Litecoin, but also the mining issues we feel will calm down those investors who are afraid of the collapse of the Litecoin.\n\nLitecoin Mining Problems\nThe total amount of Litecoin is more than [Bitcoin currency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/), which means that the miners get lower profits in each block. When mining began, Bitcoin miners used GPUs, while Litecoin miners used CPUs to make a profit.\n\nThe problem is that the ASIC miners designed specifically for Litecoin mining are not particularly powerful. For example, some high-end bitcoin miners can provide 2TH/s efficiency, while Litecoin miners rarely exceed GH/s. The trading time of the Litecoin is also much shorter, 2.5 seconds. Bitcoin is 10 seconds.\n\nOther Problems\nThe [litecoin value](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/charts) and litecoin price have recently declined, but Bitcoin is similar. However, there is no inference on the forum that Bitcoin will be finished. The success or failure of Litecoin does not depend on the success or failure of Bitcoin, just as the price of silver does not depend on the price of gold. They have similarities, but there are huge differences.\n\nLee asked people to try the Litecoin currency to slow down Bitcoin, as well as a highly speculative alternative currency for the development of other altcoins, setting the market value and market price of Litecoin aside. He and many other Litecoin enthusiasts believe that their currency is the only one that is close to Bitcoin in terms of speed, daily volume and economic size.\n\nLitecoin user FreeJack2K2 also talked about:”Even if the mining imbalance caused by ASIC has had a negative impact on prices, it will not last long. The protocol is safe. Litecoin has almost no problem. It is very powerful, any other Scrypt coin wants to survive, It has to be merged with it, or it will change the algorithm.\"\n\nThe person who creates or destroys a coin is the miner. In the case of many Litecoin core miners dissatisfied with their profits, most of them have a great opportunity to transfer to other profitable coins. but in the end they are waiting for a good return on investment, rather than being planted on expensive ASICs. We cannot ignore the dumping that is taking place in the [Litecoin market](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/markets), which has a negative impact on the entire Litecoin community.\n\nHowever, it is not only the Litecoin that has experienced this stage of disillusionment. Bitcoin fell 80% at some point in 2011, but it quickly rebounded strongly. Litecoin still has many advantages, which makes it the 7th largest cryptocurrency in the world. Now we need to pay attention to the litecoin miners.",

The high circulation of Bitcoin makes its application far superior to other cryptocurrencies. Exciting news? Is your confidence in Bitcoin picked up a little bit again?\n\nLilita Infante, an employee of the US UNDCP, concluded that after analyzing the purpose of the encrypted digital currency, the illegal activities and speculation in the [Bitcoin blockchain](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/) have undergone major changes in the past five years. The main illegal activities became speculative activities. She also said that the vast majority of illegal transactions are still carried out through Bitcoin activities, rather than anonymous and powerful currencies such as Monroe and Zcash. She believes that the reason users make such choices is because the latter is less liquid.\n\nAt present, the average daily [bitcoin trading](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/markets) volume is 5.26 billion US dollars, which is much higher than Dash, which has more powerful privacy protection performance. Dash currently has an average daily trading volume of approximately $181 million. Zcash's average daily trading volume is about $116 million, while Monroe's is less than $32 million. Among the above currencies, Coinbase, the top encryption digital currency trading institution, only supports Bitcoin transactions, while other popular trading service platforms such as Uphold support Bitcoin and Dash.\n\nThe latest statistics show that BTC has been transferred frequently and largely recently. September 4, 2018 News: The first wallet address of the Bitcoin Rich List has received 2,6849.5 bitcoins since August 30.\n\nIn addition, the hacking incidents related to encrypted digital currencies are expected to increase by about 10 times throughout the year. In the first half of this year alone, hacker’ attacks on encrypted digital currencies have directly caused billions of dollars in losses. Jameson Lopp, former chief engineer of BitGo and current engineer at CasaHODL, also revealed that as of July 2018, 4 million bitcoins were lost in the Bitcoin network and 2 million bitcoins were stolen (although hacking is not a positive message. However, it can be seen from the side that Bitcoin's liquidity is large and its value are widely recognized, I’m optimistic about [btc price](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) in this term).\n\nLiquidity and circulation are important indicators for measuring the current value and future development of a currency. Due to its first-mover advantage and the market's dependence on it, It is understandable that bitcoin to lead the cryptocurrency circulation. However, it remains to be seen whether it can withstand the test of competing products.",

      "body": "Last year, Ethereum became a star cryptocurrency, and its price performance exceeded Bitcoin. But by this year it is completely different. This second-largest digital asset ([ethereum market cap](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/) ranked second) has fallen nearly 76% this year. Yesterday, the price of Ethereum has fallen below $200, and the patience and mood of investors have been greatly destroyed.\n\n![ethereum price chart.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbtsCiMXtw5M7u5TG89Nwq7vEfDt3jSWGHoAijAGiktyL/ethereum%20price%20chart.png)\n\nBitcoin can provide a global financial network, while Ethereum brings a computer network. Ethereum is like a car's petrol. Developers can view its token (eth coin) as a fuel for implementing certain functions on the blockchain.\n\nLast year, when people saw more and more ICOs, they are naturally optimistic about the [Ethereum value](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/charts), and Kyle Samani, a partner of cryptocurrency hedge fund Multicoin Capital, said that the price of Ethereum fell this year because of the actual results of these projects are not in line with investors’ expectations.\n\nEthereum Competitors\nEthereum does have a first-mover advantage, but it also bears a heavy burden. For example, EOS from the Cayman Islands is home to the \"Ethereum Killer.\" The project raised $4 billion. it has invested a large amount of money to fund developers to build applications on the EOS network, thus reducing the number of Ethereum developers.\n\nEthereum Faces a Crisis of Trust\nEthereum is facing a crisis of investor trust because it cannot achieve rapid expansion in a fiercely competitive environment. In addition, its DApp has not been fully popularized, both of which have a negative impact on the price of the ERC20 token and this market. The critics of Ethereum also expressed dissatisfaction with the capacity and speed of the blockchain.\n\nFUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt\nFUD is an abbreviation familiar to cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Some experts believe that this sentiment is the main factor causing the Ethereum to fall. A lot of FUD sentiment was spread in the market, saying that Ethereum will die, which eventually led to panic selling.\n\nLooking at Ethereum from Relative Value\nFrom January to December last year, [btc to usd](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/charts) price rose from nearly 800 US dollars to nearly 20,000 US dollars, the price has increased nearly 2.5 times, and Ethereum has risen from the price of 8 US dollars at the beginning of last year to the highest point of nearly 1,400 US dollars, the price has increased nearly 175 times. Ethereum is a better choice in this point at that time. However, these two cryptocurrencies are currently difficult to stabilize. Bitcoin fell 54% this year, and Ethereum fell even more, reaching 76%.\n\nAlthough some investors have begun to search for the next Ethereum, I think the price drop may be a chance for investors who have the patience to [buy ethereum](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/markets). After all, this is a relatively stable technology.",

In this embarrassing period, it was reported that Ripple's general counsel, Brynly Llyr, withdrew from the company, and Ripple confirmed the news.\n\nAccording to Llyr's profile on LinkedIn, she has served as Ripple's general counsel since November 2016 and previously held senior legal positions at PayPal and eBay. Although there is currently no reason for her departure, a Ripple spokesperson said her departure was a \"common decision\" between her and the company.\n\nSo far, Ripple is still being sued for different allegations. However, according to official sources, “the spokesperson did not respond to an investigation into whether Llyr’s departure would have any impact on the legal struggle”. As reported in July, the company hired Mary Jo White, the former chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and reportedly aimed to oversee the situation that XRP is not a security.\n\nRegarding this issue, the source also stated, “For its part, Ripple has long denied that XRP is a security measure. At the same time, the US Securities and Exchange Commission did not publicly comment on the matter, although the office has already stated that Bitcoin and Ethereum ([eth to usd price](https://citicoins.com/ethereum/charts) has fallen dramatically beblow $200 today) - There are only two cryptocurrencies with a tradable valuation higher than XRP - they should not be classified as securities under current US law.\n\nRipple believes that XRP created before the company was formally established is not security. If it is a security, Ripple is faced with matters such as registration and disclosure. Ripple has a huge inventory of crypto assets and has already touted plans to use XRP for payments. The case is pending in federal courts and may have an impact or embarrassment throughout the cryptocurrency industry, as other token issuers may also face more censorship of unregistered securities transactions.\n\nWhile it is not certain whether Llyr's departure will have an impact on the legal battle, it is certain that [Ripple to usd price](https://citicoins.com/ripple/charts) has fallen below $0.3 since the news of Llyr's departure was revealed. And Llyr’s departure has to cause people to think about this case. Ripple has been plagued by this case for a long time. Does Llyr’s departure indicate a bad result of this case? What is the real reason behind the departure of ripple’s general counsel? Do you think this will have an impact on the legal battle? You can pay more attention to the [xrp news](https://citicoins.com/ripple/social) if you want to get more info next.",

The Litecoin is inspired by Bitcoin and technically has the same implementation principle with Bitcoin. The creation and transfer of Litecoin is based on an open source encryption protocol that is not managed by any central authority. Litecoin aims to improve Bitcoin, compared to the Bitcoin, which has four significant differences.\n\n1. Difference in the Amount of Currency\nThe Litecoin network is expected to produce 84 million ltc coins, which is four times the amount of currency issued by the Bitcoin network.\n\n2. Difference in Mining\nLike [Bitcoin currency](https://citicoins.com/bitcoin/), Litecoin is a low-cost currency that is generated through mining. The Litecoin network can process one block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes of bitcoin), thus providing faster transaction confirmation.\n\n3. Diffenrence in Algorithm\nLitecoin used the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival in its workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine Litecoin on a regular computer compared to Bitcoin.\n\n4. Difference in Trading\nLitecoin can exchange fiat currency and bitcoin currently (you can check the real-time [litecoin to bitcoin](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/markets) exchange rate if you are interested in it), mostly through online trading platforms. Revocable transactions (such as transactions made with credit cards) are generally not used to purchase Litecoin, as the Litecoin transactions are irreversible and therefore pose a refund risk.\n\nLitecoin is the most promising altcoin after Bitcoin The Litecoin has soared 1700 in half a year. The current price is $56.59, and the market value is ranked seventh in the cryptocurrency community!\n\nWe can see from the [litecoin chart](https://citicoins.com/litecoin/charts) that three years ago, Litecoin had reached a high price of almost $50, but it was followed by an instant fall to the bottom. Soon, the price of Litecoin fell to the price of a cabbage and lasted for two and a half years.\n\nStart from 2017, many currencies began to recover, and the digital asset market began to break out. First, Bitcoin bottomed out and broke through the 10,000 yuan mark,. After that, the ETH relay broke out and touched nearly 3,000 yuan ($438).\n\nLitecoin, which has been quiet for a few years, has also exploded, rising from 20 yuan to nearly 500 yuan (73 US dollars). The current price is $67.66.\n\nReally powerful cryptocurrency can stand the test of time and withstand the impact of market volatility. Just like Litecoin, even if it has been quiet for more than two years for various reasons, it can still stand up and regain its glory. If Bitcoin is gold, then the Litecoin, which designed to improve Bitcoin is silver. Although its value is not comparable to Bitcoin, it should not be underestimated.",

It is reported that these companies are not only testing Ripple's technology, but also committed to integrating one or more Ripple products in the future.\n\nRipple has a software technology solution designed to help financial institutions save time, increase transaction speed, track and reduce transaction costs. The cryptocurrency [Ripple XRP](https://citicoins.com/ripple/) is used for xRapid (Ripple's only XRP-enabled product), which is Ripple's encryption-centric solution for improving cross-border payments.\n\nRipple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said earlier that Ripple signed a contract with a bank a week on average, which means that it can work with more than 50 banks a year. The success rate of cooperation is very impressive, and it shows that Ripple’s cross-border payment business level is very high and has been recognized by the industry. This outstanding performance is good for the [xrp to usd exchange rate](https://citicoins.com/ripple/markets) in the market.\n\nBrad Garlinghouse said that for Ripple, the year 2018 is incredible.
