Bitcoin Bouncing Back

The price of BTC closed yesterday around $4,300 for a 24-hour increase of almost 12%. This represents the highest daily positive movement since April 12, 2018. At that time BTC was trading over $6,900 - a 38% from where it is today. That movement then continued through the month, and by early may BTC had reached almost $10,000. The Google trend explorer highlights that the weekly number of worldwide searches for “bitcoin” have corresponded to this big movement, reaching levels also not reached since April. In the past three days, searches rose 17% from the all-time-high set in the week of December 17-23, 2017. This was when Bitcoin was trading near the all time high of $20,000.

 

NYSE Chairman Optimistic

Jeffrey Sprecher attended the Consensus Invest Conference as a speaker. He is extremely involved in the cryptocurrency industry as the CEO of the major global exchange ICE. The Intercontinental Exchange is one of the most widely used exchanges planning to incorporate cryptocurrencies. They are the major developer behind Bakkt, the cryptocurrency platform that hopes to bring true trusted transactions and a suite of digital asset features to the existing financial markets. He notes that this is a broad opinion that isn’t focused on one or any certain coins for making a long term integration into the global financial system. Will digital assets survive? The unequivocal answer is yes. We’re kind of agnostic to price.”

 

Amazon’s New Blockchain Services

Through AWS, Amazon is adding more blockchain services for clients to develop blockchain networks without having to pay their own developers. This isn’t an issue for developers where companies are trying to skip out on that cost. The problem is that there aren’t enough developers experience with blockchain technology to fill the need. In this way Amazon is helping to allow any interested businesses to get familiar with the new technology. The first new service, Amazon Managed Blockchain “is a fully managed service that makes it easy to create and manage scalable blockchain networks,” that can be built on Hyperledger Fabric or ethereum.

The second brings Amazon’s cloud computing into the mix with their Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB). The fully managed ledger database allows companies to easily analyze their network activity outside the network and gain insights into trends.”
