A recent Bloomberg report concluded that Bitcoin may be priming for a massive bull run.

Even the report’s name is bullish — “Bitcoin Maturation Leap”. The report mentions a number of reasons that the Bitcoin market is maturing, and that it is due for a bull run. It also affirms that “Bitcoin is gaining relative fuel as stocks reset, if history is a guide”.

Bitcoin becoming digital gold

Furthermore, Bloomberg says that Bitcoin and gold, both considered hedge assets, are expected to win the most from the recent COVID-19 induced market turmoil:

“Bitcoin and gold also stand to be primary beneficiaries of the unprecedented monetary stimulus that's accompanied by a mean-reverting stock market.”

It also observes that Bitcoin's correlation to gold “has increased to all-time highs”, concluding:

“This year will confirm Bitcoin's transition from a risk-on speculative asset to the crypto market's version of gold.”

The report reiterates that 2020 will be the year when Bitcoin becomes digital gold:

“This year marks a key test for Bitcoin's transition toward a quasi-currency like gold, and we expect it to pass.”

There are several reasons why investment in cinema is not massive.

High entry threshold for investment.
Closed business, only for the elite.
The risk of film failure at the box office.
Long term for investment.

The CINEMADROM allows anyone users to invest in world cinema, with a minimum amount of $ 100. This option easily solves the reason # 1 and 2 of the problem of world cinema.

As for points 3 and 4, this problem is solved by a unique tool — the MOVIECASH token. The MVH token itself is not something super unique. This is a cryptocurrency of the ERC20 standard, which is created on the ETHEREUM blockchain.

April 4, 2019 – In an attempt to launch the world’s first Massive Open Online MBA (MOOMBA) via the ingenious integration of the blockchain technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and learning analytics, EIU TECH Co., Ltd., a Thailand-based Education Technology company, and the European International University, have entered into an agreement, via signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to leverage on each other’s strengths and capabilities to make the project a reality.

Through this agreement, both parties have expressed their intentions to perform distinct roles to make the LOL project a success. Having the full ownership of the LOL Project, EIU TECH plans to build an OnLine Learning platform on the Blockchain technology, enabling self-executing smart contracts activated through the use of the utility token called LOL Coin, which is native to the LOL Platform – to govern all exchanges between parties involved, without the need for any intermediaries, hence significantly minimizing disputes that may arise from utilization of inefficient traditional records management approaches.

Among others, the platform would ensure the security of learners’ personal data, enable learners to earn credits via the proof of study protocol, as well as facilitate the validation of learning experiences which would ultimately lead to the obtainment of professional and academic certification.

The European International University, on the other hand, is tasked with providing academic support services to this project, by auditing courses and course contributors, monitoring overall learning experiences of students, and certifying successful completion of units of learning. As such, the European International University plays a supportive role to the overall development and progress of the LOL project, spearheaded by the EIU TECH Co., Ltd.

According to William Suberg at Cointelegraph, there are a number of things that could impact on the price of bitcoin this week, including the fact that the price of oil is at an all-time low, and despite the fact that millions are currently unemployed.

As the article points out, bitcoin is maintaining a price at around $7,000 on 20th April, “despite strong resistance on April 20 as oil crashed through fresh support levels towards $10.” It adds that this is going to be a “choppy week” for traditional markets, but if you are a bitcoin price follower, here are five things to look out for during the next few days.

This week has begun quite calmly for bitcoin, especially as there are often sell-offs over the weekend. This doesn’t appear to have happened and the BTC/USD price “lingered inside a $300 corridor over the weekend.”

Bitcoin has now maintained $7,000 support since 16th April, although analysts warn, “year-to-date resistance and the 200-day moving average both present barriers to further growth.”

Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michaël van de Poppe predicted today, “Breaking and flipping the yearly level and I assume we can continue towards $7,600.” We can also see that as last week ended, the cryptocurrency moved above the 50-day moving average, flipping previous resistance.
