🔥Crypto Market Update

The Crypto markets continued to gyrate trying to get its head around the impact of Evergrande and the contagion if any. The market cap is down another 10% from last week’s $2.2Tn to $2Tn. But during the week there was another flash crash of 22% rating many nerves. The market continues to make “lower highs” & “lower lows” showing we aren’t really out of the woods yet.

Volatility is part of being part of the Crypto journey. If you were invested and the drop made you feel uncomfortable, now would be a good time to assess your position size and see if you want to reduce the size of your crypto portfolio.

On the brighter side, NFTs continue to be in full swing with new projects being minted every day and existing projects setting all-time highs. Thats a reasonable return over the last few months going from $750 to $2.8M

🙋‍♂️Term of the Week - “BuyWall”

Buy walls are a relatively new phenomenon in public order book exchanges with the rise of cryptocurrency trading. Buy walls are always manipulative in nature, designed to scare traders and skew price perception by placing anomalously large buy order(s) at a single price point. This will be reflected in the order book as a seeming "wall".

🔥Crypto Market Update

Crypto markets move sideways, holding around $2.2T market cap

Solana down 20% WoW - Suffers Sharp Volatility After Network Becomes Flooded With Transactions Much of the action took place after the Solana network went down.“1/ Solana Mainnet Beta encountered a large increase in transaction load which peaked at 400,000 TPS. These transactions flooded the transaction processing queue, and lack of prioritization of network-critical messaging caused the network to start forking.”

DeFi is short for Decentralized Finance. DeFi is the movement within crypto to not just trade decentralized currencies but do so in a way that is itself decentralized.

🔥Crypto Market Update

On the face of it the market cap remains almost flat to last week ~$2.2T. But hidden underneath that is a $500Billion “Flash crash” that happened in a matter of hours. The market has since then recovered half that loss but it is a strong reminder of what I said last week - Crypto is a wild ride. Not for the faint-hearted. If you are using leverage you better know what you are doing, or you will get wiped out

Market cap chart - Dropping from $2.4T to $1.85T

So why did this happen?

No clear answer - someone started a BTC dump, that caused a chain of events taking out leveraged positions from various exchanges. The number of liquidations in the 24 hours (after that) by exchanges in total was ~$3.54B liquidated! During this time, 330,243 traders were liquidated. The largest single liquidation order happened on @HuobiGlobal

Solana is still on fire - up ~44% over the last 7 days despite the market drop. Another new blockchain that is on fire is Algorand - up 94% driven by potential use a backend provider for apps in Elsavador - more here

🙋‍♂️Term of the Week - “Validator”

In contrast to mining on a Proof of Work blockchain network, Proof of Stake blockchain networks are secured by a distributed consensus of dedicated validators who have staked (locked into the network) a significant amount of token as long as the validator nodes are running.
Validators are queued for block-signing based on a combination of random selection, amount (weight) staked and length of time staked (age), and others depending on the design of the consensus algorithm.

🤣Just for Laughs

Hopefully, this is how the HODL’ers are feeling after the flash crash..

How scammers are exploiting the NFT mania The crypto industry has always been plagued by opportunistic scammers, from those running Twitter giveaways to ones airdropping tokens as bait, which steal all your tokens if you try to move them. Now, with NFTs selling like proverbial (and digital) hotcakes, hucksters have shifted their tactics to exploit this growing market — and their efforts appear to be working.

One of the readers shared that I should highlight the volatility in crypto by sharing a chart. Below is the Bitcoin chart for the last 9 months. Its been a intense ride with a >50% drop from May highs and ~70% rise from the lows. Most of us mere mortals cant time the market but it is important to not panic if you are investing in crypto. It is not for the faint hearted. Understand why you are investing and learn to do your research to get over FUD (Fear Uncertainity Doubt)

🙋‍♂️Term of the Week - “Market capitalization (market cap)”

Traditionally, it refers to the monetary market value of a company based on outstanding shares of stock. Market capitalization is used to show the size of the company. In Crypto, market cap is measured by the multiplication of the circulating supply of tokens or currency and its current price. - It is a reference to the size of the tokens value.

Smart contracts are potentially one of the most useful tools associated with blockchain, and they can enable the transfer of everything from bitcoin and fiat currency to goods transported around the world. Smart contracts are self-executing, business automation applications that run on a decentralized network such as blockchain.
