Coming every Saturday, Hodler’s Digest will help you track every single important news story that happened this week. The best (and worst) quotes, adoption and regulation highlights, leading coins, predictions and much more — a week on Cointelegraph in one link.Top Stories This WeekCardano launches smart contracts after successful hard forkAfter years of anticipation, Charles Hoskinson’s brainchild, Cardano, finally launched its smart contract functionality via the Alonzo hard fork on Monday. You’d think the result of this would be some bullish price action for ADA but, alas, its price dropped 10% following the rollout. While Cardano was keen to celebrate the milestone, it also emphasized in a blog post that it’s still in the “early days” of the project, adding that now is when “the mission truly begins.”The team also urged its community to not be overzealous in boarding the hype train just yet, and to be patient with the smart contract functionality in its formative stages: “There are high expectations resting on this upgrade. Some unreasonably so. Cardano watchers may be expecting a sophisticated ecosystem of consumer-ready DApps available immediately after the upgrade. Expectations need to be managed here.” Fake news: Litecoin price surges 35% following Walmart adoption hoaxWhile real news made the price of ADA drop, fake news made the price of Litecoin (LTC) pump this week.Numerous publications reported Monday that Walmart planned to have a “pay with Litecoin option” for its e-commerce websites starting on Oct. 1 as part of a partnership with the Litecoin Foundation. Following the spread of the fake report, the price of LTC surged 35% before sharply falling within hours. A spokesperson from Walmart confirmed that the news was fake within an hour, while the Litecoin Foundation’s director of marketing, Jay Milla, also told Cointelegraph that the announcement did not come from Litcecoin’s side of things.  “The Litecoin Foundation has yet to enter into a partnership with Walmart,” said Milla. Vitalik Buterin makes list of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2021Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of this year, joining the likes of Naomi Osaka, Britney Spears, Xi Jinping and Elon Musk. Buterin was featured in the “Innovators” section of the Time 100 list, with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian authoring his profile. Ohanian highlighted Buterin’s work in building the Ethereum network and encouraging the development of decentralized apps and NFTs.“No one person could’ve possibly come up with all of the uses for Ethereum, but it did take one person’s idea to get it started,” Ohanian said. “From there, a new world has opened up, and given rise to new ways of leveraging blockchain technology.” Coinbase increases junk-bond offering to $2B after investors swarmAfter seeing enormous demand for its $1.5 billion junk-bond offering that was announced on Monday, Coinbase reportedly increased the size of the sale to $2 billion. According to a report from The Economic Times, there was at least $7 billion worth of orders that were placed in competition for seven- and 10-year bonds offering interest rates of 3.375% and 3.625%, respectively.Coinbase stated on Monday that the raised funds will be put towards “continued investments in product developments” and “potential investments in or acquisitions of other companies, products, or technologies” in the future. The funds might also come in handy when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, comes knocking on the door with a lawsuit if the USD coin lending program is actually launched. US lawmakers propose adding digital assets to ‘wash sale’ rule and raising capital gains taxReports surfaced this week that Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives proposed tax initiatives that could swipe some extra profits from the gains of “certain high-income” crypto users. According to a document released by the House Committee on Ways and Means on Monday, the proposal would increase the tax rate on long-term capital gains from the existing 20% to 25%. On the same day, President Joe Biden said he planned to nominate acting chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Rostin Behnam, to assume the role permanently, while also naming Kristin Johnson and Christy Goldsmith Romero to fill two other vacant commissioner seats. In a private meeting held on Sept. 8 between Fidelity Digital Assets President Tom Jessop, six of the firm’s executives and several SEC officials, the executives outlined a number of reasons why the enforcer should finally approve the Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund. These examples included increased demand for digital assets, the prevalence of similar funds in other countries, and the rise of Bitcoin adoption — all of which sound like reasons that would fall on deaf ears for the SEC.   Winners and Losers  At the end of the week, Bitcoin is at $46,951, Ether at $3,376 and XRP at $1.07. The total market cap is at $2.11 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap.Among the biggest 100 cryptocurrencies, the top three altcoin gainers of the week are Curve DAO Token (CRV) at 41.73%, Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) at 41.16% and Avalanche (AVAX) at 33.23%. The top three altcoin losers of the week are Arweave (AR) at -19.24%, Solana (SOL) at -21.27% and Revain (REV) at -17.11%.For more info on crypto prices, make sure to read Cointelegraph’s market analysis.  Most Memorable Quotations “Many platforms have dozens or hundreds of tokens on them. While each token’s legal status depends on its own facts and circumstances, the probability is quite remote that, with 50, 100, or 1,000 tokens, any given platform has zero securities.”Gary Gensler, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chairman “One can even see an inscription about the regulator’s obligations on the banknotes, while cryptocurrency is not backed by anything.”Behzod Khamraev, Central Bank of Uzbekistan deputy chairman “Advocates say crypto markets are all about financial inclusion, but the people who are most economically vulnerable are the ones who are most likely to have to withdraw their money the fastest when the market drops. […] High, unpredictable fees can make crypto trading really dangerous for people who aren’t rich.”Elizabeth Warren, U.S. senator “Rising valuations across asset classes, massive price swings in cryptoassets and event-driven risks observed in 1H21 amid elevated trading volumes raise…

Post Views: 13 Brands and creators will be able to create NFTs with ease and enjoy low-fee, high-speed transactions, and anti-counterfeiting measures DUBAI, UAE / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2021 / Polygon, an Ethereum scaling platform onboarding millions to Web 3.0, has today announced a technology partnership with Guardian Link, a no-code platform to create and launch curated non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The partnership aims to galvanize broader participation in the NFT sector by enabling creators to devise their own ‘branded’ NFT marketplaces and launches without prohibitive transaction fees or extensive code. Guardian Link empowers brands and creators to easily publish, mint, preview, and manage their NFTs, and provides custom templates and pre-coded smart contracts for brands looking to launch from their own bespoke marketplaces. Users enjoy a range of advanced features, such as automate royalty payments and Guardian Link’s proprietary anti-counterfeiting measure, which automatically hunts down counterfeit NFT copies and informs creators. Counterfeiting is a latent but consequential issue in the NFT sector and one that needs solving before mainstream adoption can take root. Guardian Link’s “Anti. Rip” counterfeiting tracker provides brands and creators with protection and peace of mind by monitoring across the web for duplicates, rip-offs, and copy-cats NFTs that can damage brands and impact sales. Through the partnership, Guardian Link users will gain the benefits of Polygon’s industry-leading technology, which builds and connects Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. Polygon’s framework is designed to regulate an environment where various blockchain networks function cohesively rather than as closed-off silos. The powers behind this technology are, Keyur Patel, the Co-Founder and Chairman of Guardian Link, Ramkumar Subramaniam, Co-Founder & CEO, Arjun Reddy Co-Founder & CTO, Kamesh Elangovan Co-Founder & COO. “Our mission is to make NFTs a global market that can be accessed and created by anyone. We’ve taken the first step toward this goal by removing technical barriers to entry through our no-code platform. Now, through our partnership with Polygon, we’ll remove the financial obstacles too, by mitigating costly transaction fees” says Ramkumar Subramaniam, CEO of Guardian Link. By combining their strengths, Polygon and Guardian Link will be able to provide brands and creators worldwide a prime arena to explore NFT opportunities. Guardian Link’s legitimacy framework and Polygon’s scalability will ensure the authenticity and practicability of NFTs across multiple marketplaces and blockchains. Shreyansh Singh, Head of NFTs and Gaming at Polygon Studios, said: “You no longer need to be an expert coder to get the full advantage of creating NFTs. You no longer have to pay exorbitant fees to sell your NFTs or wait for transactions to settle. Guardian Link on Polygon takes care of all the hard work so that brands and creators can focus on their craft, secure in the knowledge that their work and royalties are protected and not subject to excessive fees.” “With the barriers to entry now substantially lowered by our partnership, we anticipate an explosion of brands and creators embracing the NFT revolution,” Shreyansh added. Polygon is facilitating gas-free buying, trading, and selling for the world’s leading NFT projects, including Crypto Punks, Bored Aped Yacht Club, Beeple, Dolce & Gabbana, OpenSea, Axie Infinity, DraftKings, Autograph, and Mark Cuban’s Lazy.com. Polygon houses substantially more gaming and NFT Dapps than other chains outside of Ethereum, with more than 500 Dapps already in the Polygon ecosystem, strengthening the case for Polygon to become the plumbing of the “metaverse”. Polygon also boasts over 60 million unique users and has facilitated more than 600 million transactions, both of which are growing at a rapid pace.

This weekly roundup of news from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong attempts to curate the industry’s most important news, including influential projects, changes in the regulatory landscape, and enterprise blockchain integrations. Regulatory noiseIn this week’s column, the Man in Shanghai is determined to squeeze all of the regulatory noise into one section so as not to waste too much of your time. Let’s begin. It wasn’t much, just a warning from the Hebei Provincial government that it would put an end to cryptocurrency mining in the region. This is largely a non-story since it’s essentially just a restatement of a national-level policy that went into effect months ago. Hebei was never much of a mining stronghold anyway, so the announcement is more procedural than anything else. Mining operations will continue to move overseas while China goes through its unified push to become carbon neutral. For reference, China has 23 provinces, and close to half have already restated their commitment to the national policy of not tolerating cryptocurrency mining.The Securities Times, a state-owned publication, ran a story to warn the public about the bubble surrounding nonfungible tokens, or NFTs. This Shenzhen-based publication questioned the real economic value of NFTs, a topic that many of us have wondered about at times. Still, the suspicion hasn’t stopped the trend from spilling into less mainstream art circles, where NFT and metaverse-related events are becoming more and more popular.Selling shovels in a gold rushWhile mining in China might be difficult, manufacturing mining machines continues to be profitable. Canaan, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cryptocurrency mining hardware, announced its highest quarterly profits to date. The company’s Q2 financials show that the company recorded over $167.5 million in total net revenue. This was likely driven by the sharp increase in prices this spring, leading to an aggressive expansion of mining facilities across the world. The next round of quarterly financials will tell a deeper story, as investors learn how badly China’s aggressive regulations have hurt the industry. Zhang Nangeng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canaan said:​​“We delivered a remarkable performance in the second quarter of 2021. Despite unexpected regulatory policy dynamics and Bitcoin price volatility, we achieved record-high topline results as we delivered a robust 5.9 million Thash/s of computing power to our clients.”Rounding up the trading spaceVolume remained mostly flat on exchanges like Huobi and OKEx, as it has for the last 12 weeks. The last major spike came during the sell-off in early May, around the time Chinese regulators began their crackdown. Over this time, FTX has seen a strong increase in volume, suggesting that some Chinese users might be connecting to exchanges that haven’t been dominant players in the Chinese trading space. FIL remains popular on Huobi, finishing in the top five on Thursday’s 24-hr volume chart. This token has maintained popularity among traders in China, despite being about 50% below its all-time high from earlier this year. ADA, SOL, and DOT were assets that showed up high on OKEx volume charts, which mirrored global volume distributions. Speaking of Solana, Chinese users on Weibo reacted strongly to the network going offline on Wednesday, with some criticizing the network’s decentralization. A discussion broke out about whether Ethereum’s early technical issues were comparable to this event, proving that Solana and Ethereum maxis will disagree in any culture, regardless of the language.Unleashing the eCNYThe central bank digital currency created by the Chinese federal bank is now being pushed out even further, as popular app Meituan is offering roughly $1.50 in eCNY (digital yuan) to users who open a ‘digital wallet’ and use its services.Meituan is most widely known for its bright yellow food delivery service and shared bikes, which can be found on most city streets. The campaign is meant to encourage low-carbon living and is open to nine pilot cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu. The wallet interface is minimalist and allows users to convert, deposit, and transfer the eCNY The eCNY, which was originally positioned as more of an institutional remittance tool for commercial banks, is now being pushed towards retail users aggressively. Already, large franchises like McDonald’s and Zara display eCNY payment signs at point-of-sale counters across the country. The current digital payment space is dominated by WeChat Pay and Alipay, but those two will likely have a hard time holding control of market share if the central government is interested in forcing eCNY into competing applications.  Ironically, Meituan has a special role in Chinese cryptocurrency meme culture. Token holders often joke they will be forced to work in food delivery whenever the market crashes, leading to the meme below. Meituan’s iconic delivery drivers are the source of many crypto-related memes during a market crash. At the end of March, Meituan revealed it had around 570 million users. Other financial apps, including banking apps, have already integrated wallet services into their products. 

Cryptocurrency has been booming in the pandemic. This has caused the price floor of major coins to be more volatile than they have ever been which has had a huge impact on global finance. The pandemic robbed people of their jobs and some have received pay cuts and this has led people to look for ways to make passive money and crypto is the best option for that. NFT’s in the crypto world can be compared to an auction in our real world. With each day getting more and more closer to digitalisation, these Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) also have turned from the narrow niche of pursuits into a straight-up global obsession. Calypso Market is an upcoming NFT marketplace for the Binance smart chain. Calypso introduces one of a kind NFTs which can be purchased using $CYO Introducing Supermoon The Supermoon ecosystem has recognised the rise in crypto and has come with a huge project to bridge the gap between centralised and decentralised economies by providing essential financial tools. Apart from having a platform for finance, what is necessary for a relatively new age of digital coins is a community. Supermoon focuses on creating a community for social networking of crypto enthusiasts and experts. It has also brought in entertainment opportunities and formulas for wealth generation. Supermoon also supports charities and other causes, one of which is space exploration projects. What is Calypso? Calypso is described as support currency in the Supermoon Lunar-system. Calypso’s main purpose is to undertake all NFT related aspects of Supermoon, this includes being the central currency at the heart of the Claypso-Market NFT Marketplace, allowing users to mint NFT’s using Calypso. While doing this, Calypso also rewards it’s holders with passive BNB dividends and feeds back into Supermoon through automatic buys which help create a continuously rising price-floor for the Mother token. Benefits of Calypso Calypso is developed by an expert team that has been in the business for years. It is fully Doxxed and the team does not own any team tokens. Along with receiving static rewards in BNB, the Calypso token holders also receive through automatic buy-back policy which is built into the contract. Every single buy/purchase on the platform is taxed 12% and every single sale is taxed 15%. A portion of those taxes is distributed to all the members holding the token. Since the tax on selling is higher than the tax on buying, every time a sale happens, crypto holders get more benefits with BNB dividends. Every time a sell happens, the buyback process automatically buys back Calypso tokens. For every sell order, there will be a buy order.

The pandemic has put hundreds of thousands of businesses out of action, saw others fold and decimated great swathes of the economy. But, crypto thrived in this distributed environment. As the world clamped down and everyone was forced to decentralize, the crypto world shone.Perhaps crypto, born of a crisis, is most at home in one. Working from home is where we all have spent most of this crisis.Gaurang Tovekar is the CEO and co-founder at Indorse, a blockchain-powered enterprise SaaS platform. He says the company was perfectly placed to ride out the upheaval as the entire team has never been in the same physical location since the company’s inception.“Although the pandemic accelerated remote work and the adoption of decentralization in the workforce globally on an unprecedented scale, it was already a norm within the crypto industry well before the pandemic struck.”He points out that although the company once had offices in Singapore and London, he’d already swapped them out for hot desks in co-working spaces before the pandemic.“That way, those of us who want to meet up once or twice a week and bond socially can still do so in the office while working from home the majority of the time.“We have adapted our work styles and got used to this new normal in the last year and a half. I am sure that we as a company will not lease swanky office spaces any time soon, but rather provide better flexibility and other perks that make working from home more pleasurable for our team,” he concludes.  7) I’m (in)famous for playing League of Legends while on phone calls.I’ll also try to avoid restarting my RAM if possible.One side advantage of the bean bags: if I sleep in the office, my mind stays in work mode, and I don’t have to reload everything the next day. pic.twitter.com/AKlQm7wneI— SBF (@SBF_FTX) February 4, 2021 Office as a luxury?Stefan Rust, the former CEO of Bitcoin.com and now CEO and co-founder of Sonic Capital, is taking a different approach to remote working. He’s just signed a lease on a “swanky office” in Hong Kong – but at a substantial discount. He intends to use this real estate luxury as a perk to benefit his mostly remote workforce.“I plan on creating large open plan spaces with sofas, TVs, screens and hot desks. I want people to be able to come in and relax, enjoy time with their co-workers, conduct meetings or just chill. The new office has to be a place where people want to come — it’s about choice,” explains Rust.So, perhaps as pandemic restrictions wind back, an office will be seen as a luxury perk for tech and crypto companies, a central clubhouse that people use how and when they want.Ramadan Ameen, CFO for privacy startup Panther Protocol, reflects that his international team was put in place during the pandemic in Jan. 2021. Not only has his team never all been in the one location, but the majority of the twenty staff also have never met each other in person. For Ameen, a team meetup and bonding session are significantly ahead of company offices, for now.“The co-founders have met, but the team is spread out across North and South America, Asia and Europe. We are looking forward to a team meetup in the fall, depending on Covid restrictions. Right now, our choices are limited, so we are still deciding among a few central locations.”    Zoom zoomFor the Unique.network, a next-generation NFT chain for Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems, the lockdown was very positive. CEO Alex Mitrovic says his dispersed team put their collective heads down and just worked on the project. They entered a major Hackathon on Kusama to “build a blockchain” back in January 2020 and won. That set them up for earning more Web 3.0 Foundation grants before being accepted into the accelerator program run by Jamie Burke, CEO of Outlier Ventures, at the start of this year.“Having an internationally dispersed team is normal for me, lockdown just made it tighter,” he says. “People, often limited to restricted locations, wanted to connect and so we made it work.“The fact that, as lockdown proceeded, we re-entered a bull run didn’t hurt at all.”One thing that unites remote workers in crypto is their passion and commitment to the industry Mitrovich says.“To work remotely often requires a degree of self-motivation and discipline. These are the very hallmarks of people in this space. And everyone gets the decentralized approach — it is part of the territory.”Mitrovich says that remote work also offers a world of options for skilled workers in the blockchain sector.“People have more choices,” he says. “If they don’t like someone or something, they can leave and move on. They might be restricted in geography but not in choices. I like to quote Jamie when he says Outliers operates a ‘no jerk policy’ which cracks me up but which is also very cool.“I see my team blossoming in this lockdown. They are more honest about what they can and cannot do. And it’s my role as CEO to support them. No more top-down management, it’s all about consensus.”    The etiquette of ZoomMitrovich feels that since the entire world first went into lockdown, people have been looking for ways to connect. Moreover, it had the feeling of democratizing the new workplace — the home — since few were still working out of boardrooms and offices.“It didn’t matter where you were, everyone was reduced to a zoom screen,” he says.Interestingly, he says fewer people are late for meetings anymore.“I’ve done 1000s of video calls and everyone turns up on time – it’s like a mark of respect. No one has to travel of course and so it’s easier to be punctual,” he says.Cultural differences in approaches to video calls have become apparent as Mitrovich raises funds and speaks with investors across Asia.“I have never asked but Asian people tend to keep their videos off, whereas Western people leave theirs on. Maybe it’s because accessing videos from China for example requires…

To read Part 1 of “How to prepare for the end of the bull run,” click here.So, you’ve made a million bucks this cycle and you’re trying to work out how to transform those life-changing gains into money in the real world before the inevitable crash. But at the same time, you don’t want to sell now and miss out on potential upside. So, what should you do?For Quantum Economics founder Mati Greenspan, the answer is simple: Be optimistic. He’s not an advocate of trying to time the market.“As somebody who has been trading my entire life — I mean, way before cryptocurrencies — you’ll find that it always pays to be optimistic, and pulling out your money from the market has almost never been a good long-term strategy. Not for any market over almost any time frame.”Greenspan points out that even those few people who bought Bitcoin at the top of the 2017 bull run are up 250% just three and a half years later.“Anybody who was wise enough to foresee the crypto winter and took all of their money out, when do you get back in? Nobody can time the markets to a T. The best we can do is to kind of figure out, given the information that we have, what are the best investments to make over time.” Quantum Economics founder Mati Greenspan.  No one can predict the topUnlike Decentrader analysts Filbfilb and Philip Swift in Part 1, Greenspan doesn’t believe it’s possible to use on-chain indicators to accurately foresee the end of a bull run. He warns that unexpected events like bad regulatory news from China or a tweet from Elon Musk can occur at any moment, sending markets into bear mode.Filbfilb says that this is why good traders don’t just look at one type of data but consider on-chain analysis in the context of sentiment, cyclical data, technical analysis and everything else to gauge where the market is headed.“If you’re sort of sitting around waiting for some on-chain analysis to tell you the answer, and we have a black swan event, you’re not going to do anything about it in time,” says Filbfilb. He adds that even black swan events don’t present major issues for sophisticated traders, pointing out that the March 2020 “Black Thursday” crash had been foreshadowed for weeks:“If that kind of thing were to happen again, as a trader myself, I would have enough time to take action. I’m in and out of the market all the time.”“For me, it’s a much more fluid situation. I’ve got other tools, like I know how to hedge. I’ve got other different ways of managing risk, which means I don’t necessarily have to sell my Bitcoin in order to get myself into a position where I can cover any downside risk.”Needless to say, it takes a lot of hard work, time and training to be able to play the market like Filbfilb. What about the rest of us?Filbfilb recommends taking enough profit to keep yourself happy in the downturn. “If you’ve made life-changing money, consider changing your life a little bit now. For me, I personally have done that — I’ve taken some money off the table,” he says.“What that’s allowed me to do is to sort of be able to hold on for the rest of the cycle, potentially to much higher prices.”  Scott Melker is the Wolf of All Streets. Profit from profit-takingScott Melker, also known as “The Wolf of All Streets,” agrees that taking profits on your trades all the way up is the key to success, whether at predetermined levels or more randomly. “People should be taking profit on the way up just as you should be dollar-cost averaging into an asset on the way down,” he says.“I’m a firm believer that once your investment has doubled, take your initial investment off the table. So, if it was $100,000, now you’ve got $100,000 to play with, and you have absolutely no risk.”This has the added benefit of reducing the chance that you’ll make a big mistake by selling too early, too late or too much, when you believe the top has arrived.“You know, when you’re taking profits, every time you sell something you’re taking the pressure off your future decisions. Which is mentally a very good place to be.”He adds, however, that you are allowed to have diamond hands with your high-conviction, long-term holds. “I buy Bitcoin for my kids — I am not worried about cycles,” he says.     The constant process of adjustmentGreenspan’s approach is to take profits when he needs the money, and he switches his allocations from coins that have had a big run-up to newer projects he believes will perform better in the future. He tends to take profits 10% at a time at various stages — back in Bitcoin or to cycle into new investments.“You can limit the downside in your portfolio while maintaining upside potential through diversification,” he says.While he’s not convinced it’s even possible to identify the market’s top when it occurs, he points out that it’s usually fairly obvious when you are in a bear market or bull market — so, you should act accordingly.“Prices are going down, and they’re expected to go down: That’s the time to reduce exposure. I don’t see any reason to try and pinpoint the top,” he says.“We can recognize when we’re in a bear market — that’s the time to hunker down. So, take things in, consolidate your portfolio, take off the leveraged bets,” he adds.  this JPEG of a tulip is selling for $3.2 million pic.twitter.com/7ppboKsBwO— Turner Novak 🍌🧢 (@TurnerNovak) August 29, 2021  Having witnessed the end of the 2017 bull market, Melker says that peak euphoria and overly bullish sentiment from retail newcomers are the most reliable top signals.“Sentiment will be a better indication than charts,” he says. “We saw it in 2017 when people who have never heard of crypto before and still don’t understand it are telling you how they need to buy it.”He recalls a friend’s nanny…
