More Bitcoin Predictions?
As the values of cryptos continue to see a steady decline throughout the year, crypto investors and enthusiasts are looking to get comfort in these troubling times. During a recent interview Jeremy Allaire, CEO of the Boston-based fintech upstart Circle, did not fail to address the current state of market affairs.
Allaire, started out by claiming that from a fundamental perspective, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are both largely oversold. The Circle chief claimed that the “amount of usage” on the two networks justify higher short-term valuations for their respective assets.
When asked about his thoughts on the future of cryptos, Jeremy noted that he isn’t too keen on “significant price predictions,” however, he believes that it is certainly going to be worth more than it is today” in three year’s time.
He also stated that he is “long” on the Bitcoin price, because of the uniqueness in its security and scale, calling Bitcoin attractive all around the world.
“The key thing with bitcoin is [that] it’s unique in its security and scale. And as an idea that we need a scarce [and] non-sovereign store of value that individuals can hold, and hold in a protected fashion, [Bitcoin] is attractive all around the world.”
Streaming Bitcoin Blockchain From Space
Next level for the blockchain industry as a Blockchain development firm Blockstream has expanded its satellite service and is now broadcasting the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain to all of the world’s major land masses.
The addition of a fifth leased satellite brings a wider coverage and should bring potential internet-free Bitcoin transactions and information sharing to crypto users in the Asia Pacific region. The satellite service, still in a beta version, had already been available across Africa, Europe, South and North America.
Blockstream has also reportedly launched a new application programming interface (API), which allows the satellites to be used to exchange encrypted messages and pay for them using micropayments on the Lightning Network.
Blockstream’s ultimate aim is to create uncensorable communications modeling after Bitcoin being uncensorable money.
