Bitcoin’s impending reward halving, though monumental, is unlikely to cause a volatility explosion, according to Amberdata’s Greg Magadini. The impact of the Bitcoin blockchain’s reward halving on miners and the BTC price has been well documented over the years, leaving little room for a surprising outcome.

In the run-up, implied volatility (IV) on the largest cryptocurrency by market value has ticked higher, suggesting increased price turbulence in the days surrounding the quadrennial event. Still,…

Indeed, until now, he’s perhaps best known for making a few million dollars flipping a mansion and getting arrested at 3am in the Hamptons on charges of…

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin provided insights about privacy-oriented ZCash, suggesting a different approach to development funding. He imagined a fusion where ZCash remains “Conservative on technology, insistent on privacy, experimental on economics.” Buterin’s idea centers around off-chain-governed RPGF rounds, possibly integrating a yearly issuance or an anonymous voting system for decision-making. The concept utilizes decentralized governance principles. IMO Zcash should do off-chain-governed RPGF rounds with issuance every year (or perhaps an indirect process where you off-chain choose some voters who then anon-vote)”Conservative on technology, insistent on privacy, experimental on economics” would be a great niche for Zcash. — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin)…
