Elections 2020


This year's election has been quite the ride so far. And although the victor is yet to be determined, perhaps you can take it to crypto to find the answer...

Crypto prediction markets:
Here's How It Works:
Prediction markets use Ethereum-based tokens to let people bet on the outcome of major events, like elections. The tokens are on sale for between $0 and $1, and when the election is decided, the tokens on the winning side are valued at $1, while those on the losing side are valued at $0. So, if you make the right guess, then you end up in profit. If you make the wrong guess, then you take home nothing.

Additional Resources:
  • Vitalik Buterin says prediction markets were better indicators of the election than traditional polls this year.
     
  • How will BTC react if either Trump or Biden wins?
     
  • Cut out the politics altogether and look at monetary figures that actually matter.

Bitcoin & Lockdowns


For some, Bitcoin has been and in many ways still is, a luxury. For others, it’s been a necessity from the beginning, whether as a mechanism to store their wealth, or as a way to send & receive payments without being censored.

For the rest of us, it’s somewhere in between a luxury & a necessity.

Aleksandar Svetski argues that as we progress forward in time, Bitcoin will become a necessity for all of us, across all of it’s dimensions and if the lockdowns have done anything, they’ve accelerated Bitcoin’s transformation from something some might “want” to something everyone will fundamentally “need."
 

Nearly $1B in Bitcoin Moves From Wallet Linked to Silk Road


Yesterday, a Bitcoin address containing 69,369 BTC (worth close to $1 billion and the fourth largest address in existence) transferred its funds to an unknown wallet. This is the first time since 2015 coins from this address have moved.

This address is notable largely due to an encrypted file that has been apparently circulating on hacker forums for the past year, which purportedly contains the cryptographic keys required to seize the BTC in this specific address. If genuine, cracking the password on this file would allow these Bitcoin's to be moved.

Who owns the address? Where did the coins come from? Where are they now? Get all the info here.
