In this video from the WEF 2020, Nym Technologies CEO Harry Halpin speaks to CoinDesk’s Leigh Cuen in Davos, Switzerland, about the World Economic Forum, privacy and the future of blockchain. Halpin pulled no punches when it came to describing the scene at Davos.“I do think there are lots of well-meaning people here that want to save the world with charity or deal with unemployment, but the fact of the matter is the people here aren’t actually in charge in any meaningful sense,” he said. “It’s just kind of a social club. The larger economic trends – negative inflation, a general sort of collapse of the American Empire global, climate change – these things are very nightmarish and have been started, you know, centuries ago and are out of the hands, I think, of the Davos elite.”Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.

A privacy and scalability upgrade that could turn out to be one of bitcoin‘s largest to date has passed a couple of milestones that were little noticed outside technical circles. On Tuesday, Pieter Wuille, a Bitcoin Core contributor and the brains behind the update known as Taproot submitted a work-in-progress code change to GitHub in what’s known as a “pull request,” showing that the code is ready for more developer eyes. “Merging this is obviously conditional on getting community support for the proposal. It’s opened here to demonstrate the code changes that it would imply,” he wrote.Submitting a pull request to the code for Bitcoin Core (the reference implementation, or standard version of bitcoin software from which others are derived) does not mean the change is official. But it’s a key step. While many in the bitcoin community are excited about the upgrade, the process of turning the idea into code has been mostly happening behind-the-scenes. Wuille’s “pull request” pushes it into the spotlight, signifying the code is closer to ready.Though Wuille submitted the pull request just a couple of days ago, several bitcoin developers including John Newberry, Ben Woosley, and Adam Ficsor have already left review comments, in another sign of how highly anticipated the change is. In another key, if more symbolic milestone, the three Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIP), which are like blueprints of the changes, have also been assigned numbers on GitHub.A key part of the proposal is Schnorr, a cryptographic signature scheme for proving ownership of coins. It’s better than what bitcoin has right now in that it paves the way for scalability improvements and allows developers to build new technologies on top of bitcoin. Using Schnorr, Taproot adds smart contract capabilities to bitcoin that would strengthen privacy. For example, the transactions that open and close payment channels on the lightning network, allowing speedier transfers of small amounts, would not look much different from normal transactions (at least, up to a point). So it would be harder for blockchain voyeurs to discern what a user is doing. Leaderless changeAs a decentralized cryptocurrency, bitcoin doesn’t have a single leader who can push through changes. As such, a major change like this (called a “soft fork” in bitcoin) can only get absorbed if just about everyone agrees with it. If no one in the community comes up with any valid objections to Taproot (such as uncovering a security vulnerability) it could become the biggest change the digital currency has seen since 2017, when scaling upgrade SegWit was locked in after a long and often savage debate. So far, it looks like the change has all but unanimous approval from developers. Bitcoin Core contributor Anthony Towns organized a review group where developers scrutinized the BIPs, submitting comments and suggestions. Any developer who wanted to join could.This “army” of developers finished their review of the protocol change earlier this month. Of those, 16 submitted a “survey” at the end outlining their feedback, including whether they think the upgrade is a good idea. All 16 approved of the changes.There’s still a lot of work to do. While many scrutinize the code looking for improvements or errors, some developers are debating the best way for the decentralized, global network to adopt the change with as few bumps as possible – which SegWit’s heated debate showed is far from a given.Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.

We’re officially in a new decade and the past decade has shown some of the diverse changes in the software development scene. Each year in the past two decades had its own trends but some of them have managed to evolve. Understanding these trends is important if you are a software developer or someone who wants to build a software counterpart for your product/service. Top companies that offer software development services are known for keeping up with these trends. If you are someone who wants to become a part of such an organization culture, you have to buckle up. You have to understand these trends and optimize your coding/development knowledge accordingly. Now that we all know why we do this; shall we check out the trends? #1 Internet of Things Software development is now seriously concerned about the Internet of Things, commonly known as IoT. It should be noted that 5G connectivity would be a huge step in popularizing home tech and other services to offer convenience through internet connectivity. Now, developers have to ensure that their products are at least compatible with the new IoT standards, if not already tied up. Several big companies like Google and Microsoft are actually supporting this endeavor, and the available development kit offers a jump-start. #2 Cross-Platform Development There was a time when a developer had to become an expert on a single development platform. Now, the stories are changing. We are looking at a future that advocates compatibility between different platforms, in user-end and development-end. Once again, major players are encouraging this through projects such as Flutter and Xamarin. Both of these allow developers to create software that works on multiple platforms — both desktop and mobile. You need to get a good grasp on hybrid apps before you even begin. #3 Low Code Development A modular approach in software development is not something specifically new. This trend has been in talks for quite a while, but now we have the right resources as well. Low Code Development refers to creating the code in a way that it can be split into components and reused as per requirements. In addition to lowering the infrastructure and resource requirement, this approach adds more control to the scene. Also, it would be easy to maintain and service the software products in the future. #4 Serverless and Cloud The gradual yet unavoidable shift to the cloud is something that we have seen in the structure. Developers now don’t have to worry about the infrastructure part, thanks to easy-to-deploy cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services and Azure. Instead of becoming an expert in taking care of these things, creators can now focus on the code and its functionality. While this may be seen as reductionist from the knowledge-gaining point of view, serverless and cloud tech adoption has made things simpler for many. #5 Voice-Assisted Tech It was Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant that brought up the culture of speaking to your gadgets as opposed to typing everything. Now, however, developers have to take this forward. As opposed to what some might think, this process is not really tough. Development kits are available at plenty of levels and all the developer has to do is to deploy them in the right manner. There are two options here: one is to add a voice-response system to your application and two, to allow some integration with popular assistants like Siri or Assistant. #6 Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is such an evolving software development trend is that we can’t complete a list without it. The journey has truly been of evolution in that you could see it. In the beginning years, only experienced developers thought about AI implication, but that’s more or less universal. Customers are now loving services that make the best use of AI and developers have to keep the business moving forward. And, the possibilities that arise when we combine AI with big data is just incredible, to say the least. #7 PWA for Future Progressive Web Apps basically bring the best of both worlds and they have a position in the future of diverse software development. We are talking about a development culture that embraces mobile connectivity — all the while making things simpler for the commons. These web tools are not only making it easier to use resources from multiple platforms but also simplifying the entire process of development. Moreover, it’s a big statement towards compatibility. #8 Blockchain Blockchain could be one of the most controversial trends that the past decade has seen, but the possibilities are endless. We are talking about a quicker adoption rate of blockchain tech, helpful in the various parts of the industry. From retail to medical care and from finance to big data analysis, blockchain tech could become the core of many things. And, as a developer, it’s important that you have a clear idea of what it could do in your area. The Bottom Line We’re officially in a new decade and the past decade has shown some of the diverse changes in the software development scene. Each year in the past two decades had its own trends but some of them have managed to evolve. Understanding these trends is important if you are a software developer or someone who wants to build a software counterpart for your product/service. source http://wtf.telenor.com.np/2020/01/23/8-evolving-trends-in-software-development/

Alexander Vinnik, the alleged operator of the BTC-e exchange, will be extradited to France following a ruling by Greece’s supreme court.Vinnik will be sent to France on allegations of money laundering following a ruling from Greece’s Council of State, the country’s supreme administrative court, reported Greek news outlet Ekathimerini on Thursday. He was arrested in July 2017 by Greek authorities after Russia, the U.S. and France all issued international arrest warrants on charges of laundering at least $4 billion through BTC-e, which he allegedly set up. Vinnik has maintained he is innocent of all charges, claiming he was just one of the exchange’s employees. The court ruled that a decision by Greek justice minister Constantinos Tsiaras to extradite Vinnik to France, then the U.S. and then to Russia had been lawful. Vinnik, who previously said he wished to be tried in Russia, has been on a hunger strike for the past month over claims his human rights had been violated. A Greek court had initially ordered Vinnik’s extradition to France in 2018, where he is wanted on charges of cybercrime, money laundering, membership in a criminal organization and extortion. Thursday’s ruling from the Council of State, Greece’s supreme administrative court, means Vinnik will no longer be able to appeal the extradition ruling. The Greek government turned down a request from Russia’s Prosecutor General for Vinnik to be extradited directly to the country in late December. Russian president Vladimir Putin had reportedly raised the issue with the then Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipiras in December 2018, according to Russian media.Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.

A group of bitcoin cash miners is preparing a soft fork to redirect some of the block rewards into a new zcash-style development fund.In a medium post Wednesday, Jiang Zhuoer, CEO of mining pool BTC.TOP, said that a group of some of the largest bitcoin cash mining pools were preparing to soft fork the network to implement a “short-term donation plan” that would cut block rewards by 12.5 percent in order to fund network development. “Investment in software and commons is crucial to secure a bright future for Bitcoin Cash,” the post reads, arguing that neglect can have a “damaging” effect on the network. “We can avoid these problems by providing an adequate level of stable funding, allowing Bitcoin Cash to thrive and succeed.”Signed by Jihan Wu of Antpool/BTC.com, Roger Ver from Bitcoin.com and ViaBTC’s Haipo Yang, Zhuoer’s post argues that there are “significant problems” with the current funding mechanism. Donations are made on a voluntary basis, making it difficult to finance long-term projects and giving corporate donors “an undue influence” over developers. Many community members, Zhuoer writes, don’t currently contribute anything at all, creating a “tragedy of the commons” situation where the self-interest of individuals is contrary to the common good of the network. It may be controversial, but redirecting block rewards is “undoubtedly a far better solution” than the current funding system, the post reads. Many of the same miners included in the post had previously pushed to introduce a “development tax” during a CoinGeek BCH conference back in 2018. A report by crypto investment firm Electric Capital found bitcoin cash lost more than 30 percent of its developers between December 2018 and June 2019, the largest drop of any major blockchain network. Because bitcoin cash uses the same SHA-256 hash algorithm as bitcoin, most of the block reward costs will, according to the post, be carried by the dominant bitcoin miners who constitute approximately 97 percent of the hash ecosystem. Assuming bitcoin cash stays at around $300, Zhuoer calculates the new mechanism could raise more than $6 million in six months. “It’s a clever proposal, with good intent,” tweeted Emin Gun Sirer, adding that marginally lower hash rate for steady developer funding was a good trade-off as “empirically more attacks have been due to underfunded devs than to malicious hashrate.” But the proposal is not without its controversy. Zhuoer’s post says that BCH blocks that don’t follow the soft fork “will be orphaned,” meaning that they won’t be accepted by the five mining pools and risk not receiving any block reward whatsoever.Funds will also be directed into an unnamed “Hong Kong corporation” that will coordinate and pay for network development. It’s not certain whether this new corporation will pay third-party developers or if it will do most of the work itself like the Electric Coin Company (ECC) on zcash. In an ask-me-anything reddit session Thursday, Zhuoer clarified that miners would “ensure the transparency and effective use of all funds” by the Hong Kong corporation. Antpool’s Wu added in the same AMA that many of the details, for how the corporation would be governed and how development projects would be prioritized, were still “under discussion.”“There are many underspecified aspects to the proposal,” Sirer said. “Specifically, who will manage the collected funds and how will they be distributed?” That the proposal was sprung on members of the BCH community “was terrible PR and community management,” he continued, while the threat of orphaning dissenting blocks risks alienating much of the mining community. It’s also disputed whether the five mining pools will be able to force the community to accept their soft fork. At press time, the signatories had a combined BCH hashrate of just under 28 percent, way below the required majority needed to push the soft fork through by themselves. Credit: Coin Dance“They can’t enforce this coercive soft fork unless they come up with a lot more hashrate. And it would likely lead to many forks,” tweeted Charlie Lee, creator of litecoin. “Adding such a centralizing feature in this coercive manner sets such a bad precedent.”Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.

Over that last couple of years, SD WAN technology has gone from being something only used by early adopters – to being a technology that’s underpinning tens of thousands of business networks. As with most early tech, there’s some great and useful information to be found online about what it can do and what’s possible. That said, there are also plenty of companies who will happily tell you that it’s SD WAN or bust for your business! To help you cut through the noise, we’re going to look at what SD WAN is and what it might offer your company – as well as a couple of claims that the tech might not be ready to back up. A software defined wide area network (SD WAN) It’s useful to line up a traditional wide area network (WAN) to an SD WAN for a full illustration of what the technology offers. In truth, almost all multi-site businesses have a WAN of sorts. In its most simple guise, a WAN is a series of branch locations connected to one central IT provision. That provision usually provides application access to those branches. Ordinarily, those branch locations would have their own dedicated internet circuit connection – which is then configured to work as part of a virtual private network – giving the company its own secure network across the wider internet. As well as housing the company’s services and applications, the firm’s IT HQ will generally also be where their IT team works from. What does SD WAN do differently? SD WAN doesn’t change how the concept of a WAN works – instead, it’s a system that offers an additional layer of control. As such, the product won’t replace anything on your network – instead, it functions as an overlay, connecting to each of your devices and managing each of your connections. Since SD WAN works to unify every part of your network – for the purpose of centralized control, it also means that you gain a single, unified interface that allows control of all your devices. This is perhaps one of the most significant aspects of SD WAN from a business point of view. Of course, it’s not all about control. There are a host of different languages that devices tend to use to communicate across your network. For example, data that are sent over a wireless cellular connection is handled in a slightly different way to information that’s sent over a traditional wired connection. SD WAN virtualizes this language – so different connections can be used together. If it makes sense to connect one location with a VPN protected internet circuit – but another with a cellular 4G connection, the SD WAN allows that to happen. Again, this is another point that is extremely powerful when it comes to flexibility of network design – especially around the provision of new sites. What does SD WAN offer? So, we’ve touched on a few points that SD WAN offers from a technology point of view – but it’s worth having a look at the tech from a business point of view. After all, the tech can be as sophisticated as you like – but unless it’s going to benefit your business, it’s probably not worth having. Class of service If you’ve got applications that are critical to the delivery of your business, then SD WAN delivers a lot more than a standard WAN setup. Effectively, an SD WAN comes complete with a pathway control system. As a result, your highest priority traffic will find its way across your network even if there’s a significant load taking up bandwidth created elsewhere. SD WAN makes it simple to roll these class of service (COS) preferences quickly – rather than needing adjustments with each device. As such, on-the-fly COS adjustments become very possible – which is great if you’ve got an ever-moving landscape. As promised though, we are going to look at the limitations of SD WAN – and it’s fair to say that these COS adjustments do fall short of being the kind of functionality you would expect from an MPLS system. Where MPLS allows you to micromanage data from each application or user, SD WAN doesn’t offer this level of drill down just yet. Provisioning new sites As we’ve previously mentioned, SD WAN lets you control your systems using one, overall language – and that can be extremely valuable if you need to get sites up and running quickly. The benefits are two-fold. Not only can you effectively get ‘hands on’ with devices that are on the other side of the world, but you can also make sure that there are no language barriers with connection types. So, if it’s quicker to get one site up and running with a series of 4G SIMs providing your connection – you can do so, even if you’re mixing in traditional circuits and broadband connections elsewhere. Of course, your connection type is only part of the battle when you’re getting a new site up and running. After all, you still need to get the equipment there and get it plugged in. The thing is, if you can do this, your IT team can work remotely to finetune everything – so you’re still likely to save time, even if SD WAN isn’t a magic bullet solution to make site provisioning completely effortless. Centralized security In much the same way that support can be delivered from one central location, security can also be rolled out across your network from a central point when you’re using SD WAN. With a bright spotlight shining on data security, having one central provision to provide and monitor your network security is a great step. Traditionally, network security has come in the form of a firewall that protects each physical location. Since SD WAN allows you to roll out any application to a series of locations, this also means security provision can be held centrally too. It’s important to talk to a provider who will be able to build a security solution into your network design – but if you do, you’re likely to find that it becomes simpler and more effective than having measures at each site. source http://wtf.telenor.com.np/2020/01/23/sd-wan-what-does-and-doesnt-the-technology-offer/

Miller Thomson, the court-appointed legal counsel for former users of the QuadrigaCX cryptocurrency exchange, is asking for help identifying any records related to Crypto Capital, which may be holding some of the exchange’s funds.In a letter emailed to the exchange’s former customers and posted to its website, Miller Thomson wrote that Crypto Capital Corp., a “shadow bank” registered in Panama, “may have been a payment processor” for the exchange and is asking any customers who have emails or other documents which might be related to Crypto Capital to forward the communications to the legal firm.“Representative Counsel has been investigating, since its appointment, whether any Quadriga funds were potentially retained by Crypto Capital,” Wednesday’s letter said. The letter referenced the ongoing court case between the U.S. Department of Justice and Crypto Capital, noting that the shadow bank’s operators are currently under indictment. Reginald Fowler, one of the alleged operators of the company, is in court and may be heading to trial on charges of bank fraud, operating an unlicensed money transmitter and conspiracy.Fowler intended to plead guilty to one charge of operating an unlicensed money transmitter, but negotiations between his attorneys and the prosecutors have yet to be concluded. He is now scheduled to appear in a New York courthouse in late April.Wednesday’s letter also referenced the fact that Bitfinex, another crypto exchange, has claimed to be defrauded by Crypto Capital and is seeking information and rights to seized assets in the shadow bank’s possession in the U.S., Portugal and the U.K., three jurisdictions which have reportedly frozen Crypto Capital’s assets.“As you are aware, Ernst & Young Inc. (the ‘Trustee’) has been unable to locate QuadrigaCX’s basic corporate records or accounting records. As a result, Representative Counsel is asking Affected Users for assistance on this matter to uncover whether Crypto Capital held Quadriga funds,” the letter said.

HighlightsTrai has talked about unbundling of infrastructureThe regulator is also in favour of local telecom equipment manufacturingTrai has also suggested other innovative investments to ease the situationThe telecom industry has been under massive distress. The latest in the list of financial burdens over the telecom industry is the Rs 1.47 lakh crore dues which the telecom companies have to pay to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for license fees, Spectrum Usage charges (SUC) and more. However, all of this has also got the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) worried as well. The sector regulator which oversees the rules in the industry is even suggesting changes about what the telecom operators should be doing to improve their financial situations and the overall situation of the industry. According to a new ETTelecom report, RS Sharma, the Chairman of Trai has said that the telecom operators need to come up with innovative investment solutions like unbundling of infrastructure and investments for different services in the telecom industry if they want to finance the 5G technology and want to have an early adoption of the technology. These suggestions by RS Sharma were made at the ‘Telecom Summit 2020 5G Technology: Forging Ahead Into a Smarter India,’ organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry (PHDCCI) and the Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association (TEMA).Equipment Manufacturing in India FavouredThe Trai chairman also said that it has been in favour of local manufacturing of telecom equipment and has already sent out its recommendations to the government. Sharma also remarked that the telecom operators must not be the only one investing in the country’s approach to 5G technology. However, the unbundling of services an the infrastructure is something that could help the telecom operators in taking up the investments which is required for 5G technology, its deployment and adaption which is going to be huge.Ajit Pai, advisor, Niti Ayog said, “The key issue is to explore the possibilities of common infrastructure and sharing the same and how to frame policies for this so that no one is hurt.” He also added that asset monetisation is something that the telecom companies can consider.Apprehension Over 5G technologySandeep Agarwal, Chairman, Telecom Committee of the PHDCCI also chipped in his thoughts and said, “ITI and C-DOT can be used to invest in higher technology, optical fibre preforms and chip manufacturing. The foreign companies must be allowed access to Indian market only on the condition they sell technology and allow manufacture of licensed telecom equipment in India.” He also said that the government should consider the fact whether or not it is the best time to embrace 5G.5G Spectrum Prices Considered too HighThere have been doubts going on in the industry about the affordability of 5G in India and whether or not the telecom companies have proper resources for to buy the 5G spectrum and properly deploy the use-cases which have been suggested by them. Until now the debate has been about the 4G and 5G spectrum auction which is slated to happen sometime in March 2020. However, the telecom companies have wanted a delayed auction since they do not have enough resources to invest in the 5G spectrum. Also, the reserve price of the spectrum, which was suggested by Trai to be Rs 490 crore per unit was thought to be too high for the telecom companies. There is also another issue of insufficient quantum of the spectrum which is because the DoT has already allocated a chunk of spectrum to defence services. As such, not much enthusiasm is expected in the upcoming auctions.

Kik technical advisor Tanner Philp must be deposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the company’s 2017 kin token sale, elongating the discovery process in the messaging app’s battle with federal regulators.The agreement was made Wednesday before District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York. Overseeing the latest motion for discovery in this $100 million ICO standoff, Judge Hellerstein initially ruled that Kik CEO Ted Livingston should appear for a deposition, but attorneys for both sides appeared to come to an agreement to have Philp appear instead.Judge Hellerstein said the deposition should focus on the nature of Kik Interactive’s business from 2018 to the present. According to court documents, Philp already provided testimony in August 2018.The SEC wants Kik to provide more testimony, documents and details on its business and plans surrounding the kin token offering. The regulator alleged Kik violated federal securities laws last year during the kin sale, suing the messaging platform in federal court in June.It originally filed a sweeping motion for discovery on Oct. 25, but amended that notice with a pared-down motion on Dec 8. Such documents could shed light on Kik’s thinking in the run-up to its initial coin offering, including its executives’ thoughts on the digital asset offering report issued by the SEC in 2017.Kik disputed the SEC’s request in past filings, saying the provided written answers made further testimony redundant. Kik had asked Judge Hellerstein to nix further depositions. In a joint letter on Jan. 14, Kik’s legal team argued the SEC had already taken hours of testimony from senior management – including Livingston – and collected thousands of documents in the regulator’s multi-year investigation. It called for a protective order that would have restricted the discovery process.It said the SEC’s latest deposition notices were over-broad and under-detailed. Kik said the SEC did not adequately explain its need for further testimony, citing the deposition rule, Rule 30(b)(6), and saying the rule requires deposition notices explain their investigatory intent with “painstaking specificity.”The SEC rejected those claims in its portion of the joint letter. It argued its deposition notices do indeed seek “relevant” information and further quibbled with Kik’s interpretation of rule 30(b)(6), which it pointed out reads “reasonable particularity,” not “painstaking specificity.”Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.

Some of these are really hard to disregard, like the Mi 9T Pro or the Redmi K30, depending on what you are looking for.Even so, the Mi 9 can be had for a pretty sweet slashed price, if you shop around. It is still worth a consideration, if nothing else.

A key on-chain metric has witnessed growth over the past 12 months, possibly indicating steady accumulation of bitcoins by retail traders. As of Jan. 14, there were 784,000 addresses holding one or more bitcoins, up nearly 11 percent from 707,000 seen a year ago, according to blockchain intelligence firm Glassnode. The number has more than doubled since early 2015. Number of Addresses with One or More Bitcoins Compared to BTC Prices Source: Glassnodes“The steady rise is the result of accumulation by retail buyers,” according to Connor Abendschein, crypto research analyst at Digital Assets Data in Denver.Address growth can also come from exchanges and big players, known as “whales,” though such addresses usually hold large balances and often rank at the top of bitcoin’s “rich list,” a table of the addresses holding the most bitcoins.For instance, three of the top five addresses on the rich list, published by bitinfocharts.com, belong to prominent exchanges Huobi, Bitfinex and Binance. Topping that list is Huobi’s cold wallet, currently holding 255,502 BTC. Meanwhile, the number of addresses with balances between 0.1 BTC and 1 BTC have also risen by 10 percent year over year. These small balances, however, are may be residuals from large transactions or holdings of one time users.  Adoption as a store of value“The rising number of addresses accumulating greater amounts of BTC is a sign that adoption as a store of value is increasing,” said Connor Abendschein, analyst at Digital Assets Data. Retail accumulation, as represented by the growth in the number of addresses with one or more coins, has remained solid over the years despite price gyrations. Bitcoin prices rose from $3,600 to $13,880 in the first six months of 2019 before falling to $6,430 in December. Even so, the number of addresses with one or more bitcoins rose by 77,000  in 12 months. This type of investor behavior is seen in the gold market. The yellow metal, a classic safe haven asset with a strong store of value appeal, generally finds takers across the globe regardless of the short-term price trends. Yet, many observers, including the likes of billionaire investor and Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, are of the opinion that bitcoin is simply too volatile to become a proper alternative as a store of value. Wealth distribution“Address balances are a good proxy for potential unique users,” Yassine Elmandjra, crypto asset analyst at ARK Invest, told CoinDesk. “The growth in unique BTC addresses suggests a continued increase in BTC’s wealth distribution.”The market, however, is still dominated by whales. As of December, investors with 1,000 to 1 million bitcoins held 42.1 percent of the total supply compared to 37.9 percent seen during the bull market frenzy of late 2017. Also, the rise in the number of unique addresses does not necessarily mean an influx of new investors into the market. After all, a single investor can hold 1,000 BTC in 1,000 addresses or more, so the metric has its limits. Thus the rise in the number of addresses with a balance of one or more bitcoins does not necessarily imply increased participation in the market. Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.
