Altcoins season (Altseason) very soon?🤔🚀

Hey guys. I registered on Coinbase couple a days ago to withdraw some funds but they have not verified my account yet. I got an email saying they are looking into it and will notify me when it's done.

...It's been 5 days now with no reply.
Should I be worried?
IS this because of the holidays?
What is the standard waiting period for verification?Show more >

Altcoin season is coming. What will you be buying and what return do you expect?

This is amazing for ETH. Altcoin season is coming

Currently popular blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum (which is slowly changing) use proof-of-work algorithms to validate transactions and create new blocks. The idea is simple: each miner (participant in the ...network) has to solve a mathematical puzzle. The first one to do so gets rewarded, while the rest validate his solution. Miners can join mining pools in order to have a higher chance of earning a percentage of the mined coin.

Downfalls of proof-of-work:

- huge operation costs - it is estimated that both Bitcoin and Ethereum burn over $1,000,000 of electricity and hardware costs per day

- the 51% attack - a group controls the majority of mining network, enabling it to create fraudulent block and manipulate past transactions

- centralization risk - as of April 2019 China is the leader in bitcoin mining, controlling 65% of the processing power of the Bitcoin network.

Proof-of-stake does the same job in a vastly different way. Each participant deposits their coins for a certain period of time, then the algorithm chooses one validator based on their stake to validate transactions and create new blocks.

This solution uses a lot less resources compared to proof-of-work and mitigates the risk of centralization, as no specific and expensive equipment is required to become a validator.

It also makes the network more secure against the 51% attack, because it would require the attacker to purchase the majority of all existing coins to overtake the network.Show more >

According to various reports, U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is planning to create another $3 trillion for Covid-19 relief and infrastructure. The massive stimulus plan and the backers behind the Biden administ...ration have made crypto proponents believe that bitcoin will prosper greatly.

Biden Proposes to Finance Covid-19 Relief and Infrastructure With $3 Trillion
Ever since the coronavirus outbreak took hold across America, politicians and members of the U.S. Federal Reserve has distributed massive amounts of dollars to special interests and Wall Street trading houses. Americans did get a stimulus check for $1,200 during the last program, and then $600 per person during the most recent stimulus plan.

According to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, law enforcement officials do not need a search warrant to get account records from a cryptocurrency exchange or from the public blockchain.... On June 20, 2020 the court ruled that cryptocurrency exchange account holders do not have a constitutionally cognizable privacy interest in their transaction history and therefore do not enjoy the search and seizure protections ensured by the Fourth Amendment. U.S. v. Gratkowski, 2020 WL 3530575 (5th Cir. June 20, 2020).

Background

The Supreme Court has long held that a person generally “has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties.” Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735, 743-44 (1979). The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers, and email servers have no reasonable expectation of privacy. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant.

However, exceptions have been made to this principle in certain instances. For example, in Carpenter v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 2206 (2018) the court was faced with the question of whether the third party doctrine extends to cell-site records that track location and movement from where calls are made. Based on cell-site evidence obtained from a telecommunication provider, the government charged the defendant with robbery. The court held that expectations of privacy in this age of digital data do not fit neatly into existing precedents, but tracking a person’s movements and location through extensive cell-site records is far more intrusive than past precedents might have anticipated. Thus, the Court held narrowly that the government generally will need a warrant to access cell-site location information.
