Source: TradingView The Terra Luna Classic price has dropped by 1.5% in the past 24 hours, sinking to $0.00017113 as the market as a whole dips by around 0.5%. Its fall comes as its 24-hour trading volume reads at just over $60 million, with the altcoin also down by 1.5% in a week but up by 1.5% in the last 14 days. However, a trading volume of $60 million does actually represent a decline of over 80% since January 14, when 24-hour volume passed $380 million and when LUNC's price climbed as high as $0.00019. As such, it seems that market interest in the altcoin may be waning, with the Terra Luna Classic community currently embroiled in infighting with regards to how to boost the coin's growth. Terra Luna Classic Price Prediction as $60 Million Trading Volume Comes In – Can LUNC Reach $1 in 2023? LUNC's chart confirms the suspicion that it's in the midst of a downswing that hasn't quite played out yet. In particular, its 30-day moving average (red

When we first get into investing, we are confronted with charts. Charts that show how our particular asset of interest is performing. No matter what you're into, its price performance can be shown on a chart, and in a number of different ways. For the general public there's the good old line chart; easy to understand and what we were all taught at school.  Something like that is all well and good for showing performance between two points in time, like a daily session in London or New York, but besides showing us that the price is now higher or lower than it was this morning at the open, its not much use for anything else. For that reason price performance is often shown on a candle chart, like this: For the untrained eye, this is a fearsome spectacle. Green and red blocks, some with tails and some without. Luckily it doesn't take very long to learn what these candles are telling us and help us build up a picture of what we are looking at. But, like ever

This is true despite community objections to shifting the decentralized exchange system (DEX) toward a platform with a higher degree of centralization. The vote garnered “the greatest quantity [of participating wallets] throughout the entire Uniswap Governance History,” with only 0.1% of voting wallets accounting for 99% of either the 24.9 million votes, but Uniswap may also be experiencing centralization issues. Only five blockchains—Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, as well as Celo—are participating in Uniswap’s v3 protocol, with 90% of its entire value locked on Ethereum (TVL). Compared to Curve (12) and Sushi, two popular DEXs, this is more traditional (23). The proposal, promoted by Plasma Finance, might challenge the $2.45 bn TVL of Pancake Swap, the top exchange on

Episode four of Cointelegraph’s Crypto Trading Secrets podcast features an interview with Nicholas Merten, who shared his opinions on the crypto bear market and more.

Bitcoin largely traded sideways for part of November and most of December. January, however, has seen the asset rise from below $17,000 to above $23,000. Looking back at Bitcoin’s price chart shows the asset near the beginning of its ascent on Jan. 9, sitting in the low- to mid-$17,000 range. Merten noted that he likes to look at the big pictur

While the concept of stealth addresses appears complex in theory, Buterin previously described it as a “low-tech approach” compared to other Ethereum privacy solutions. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared a possible solution to what he describes as the “largest remaining challenge” foEthereum — privacy. In a blog post on Jan. 20, Buterin acknowledged the need to come up with a privacy solution because by default, all information that goes onto a “public blockchain” is public too. He then arrived at the concept of “stealth addresses” — which he said can potentially anonymize peer-to-peer transactions, nonfungible token (NFT) transfers, and Ethereum Name Service (ENS) registrations, protecting users.  An incomplete guide to stealth addresses:https://t.co/21Q18BrD30 — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) January 20, 2023 In the blog post, Buterin explained how on-chain transactions can be carried out between two parties with anonymity.  Firstly, a user looking to receive assets wil

A token of this success can hardly dodge investors’ interest, and with its recent price increase, it’s attracting eyeballs more than ever. If you’re someone who wasn’t aware of the token until now, we have you covered.   What Is Aptos? Aptos, a project by Aptos Labs, is a web3 startup that aims to build a scalable layer-1 blockchain.

Aptos claims that the network will be able to process over 130k transactions per second using its parall
