Renowned for being tamper-proof and completely transparent, Bitcoin is often touted as a perfect 'trustless' network. But can we truly say that we trust no one but ourselves when we use Bitcoin? This is the question posed by Pierre Schweitzer during the Surfin Bitcoin 2023 event in Biarritz.

Genève, 12 septembre 2023 - Wecan Group, a annoncé avec fierté lors de l'événement Web3Connect, le lancement très attendu de la pré-vente publique de son jeton utilitaire, le WECAN Token, marquant une étape importante dans le parcours de la société et du développement de sa suite de produits.

Inauguré en 1929, Molitor a été pendant 60 ans la piscine la plus courue de Paris pour ses deux bassins et son ambiance avant-gardiste. Fermé en 1989 et classé aux monuments historiques, le lieu est investi par les artistes et le bâtiment délabré devient le temple d’une culture alternative mêlant street art, performances artistiques, concerts, etc. Aujourd’hui transformé en complexe hôtelier de luxe, Molitor MGallery a toujours mis en exergue ce côté artistique. Une facette que l’établissement souhaite partager aux collectionneurs avec une nouvelle collection de NFT d’Art.

Over the week of August 14, the bitcoin price fell by almost 12%. This turnaround was all the more dramatic as major thresholds that could have inspired long-term confidence were broken. The price of bitcoin fell below the $26,000 mark. It had stabilized above this level since March 2023. In our previous analysis in July, we pointed out that “the $26,000 area appears to be a major zone at present, and the absence of a recovery in volatility on traditional indices will probably determine the next move”.

When a blockchain’s fans discover a new application of it, they usually rejoice: the usage (and hence the value) of their assets is likely to increase. Well, usually. For the past few weeks, Bitcoin maximalists have been fixated on a new standard that emerged on their very own blockchain: BRC-20. And they hate it.

Investments in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin have exploded in recent years. To provide a better framework for them, or to some extent to profit from their rise, some European countries have defined tax rules that their citizens holding cryptoassets must comply with. In this article, we take a look at the differences between these countries' tax regimes.

Is seasonality a myth? In this article, we will attempt to give an ideal overview of bitcoin's comparative behavior since 2015. We'll focus on monthly performance, effectively excluding shorter variations. The study of seasonality thus shows that October, February and July are generally the most reliable and best-performing months. Will this be the case in the coming months?

The Bitcoin ecosystem is a real anthill of innovation, constantly pushing back the boundaries of what's feasible. While some are inclined to portray Bitcoin as an outdated protocol, relegated to the shadow of Ethereum, the reality is quite different. Ambitious initiatives such as Fedimint, Magma and Miniscript are at the forefront. These technologies have the potential to catalyze large-scale institutional adoption of Bitcoin, redefining the contours of finance in the 21st century. At last, you'll have the arguments to answer the shitcoiners.

Performance in the first half of 2023 has been largely supported by liquidity. Furthermore, the good news in June was the agreement reached on the debt ceiling limit. It has been increased until 2025, which subsequently reassured a number of financial market operators. It's not the agreement itself on the ceiling limit that's worth keeping an eye on, but rather the impacts of a liquidity squeeze on Bitcoin and the crypto market for the second half of the year.

Volatility is a peculiar topic in the world of finance, and even more so in the world of cryptocurrencies. Indeed, volatility can be analyzed from two perspectives. On one hand, it allows us to measure the likely variations of an asset and, in some cases, anticipate its movements. On the other hand, the overall volatility of assets reveals which ones truly benefit from periods of tension. In this article, we will focus on a historical volatility approach.

Hyperbitcoinization is a concept that has been theorized by some of Bitcoin's most ardent supporters. It refers to a hypothetical state where Bitcoin would be universally accepted as currency. Is this truly credible, and what would be the consequences for the global economy?

Never before have so many bitcoins stayed with the same owners for such a long time. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the halving.

As Ledger faces public backlash, let's take this opportunity to remind ourselves what a seed is, the concept of cold/hot wallets, and how BTC transactions work.

Our study focuses on the role of rare variations in Bitcoin's (BTC) performance. This exclusive study reveals some astonishing findings. In particular, it appears that 7% of the time explains up to 90% of Bitcoin's (BTC) performance. This clearly deviates from what one would expect and aligns with the conclusions of our previous article. Our study aims to identify the “rare” variations that explain Bitcoin's (BTC) performance.

In January 2023, our statistical analysis of Bitcoin (BTC) opened up the possibility of a strong bullish recovery in its price.

What is a seed? Is it possible for someone to guess it? What are the chances of that happening? What is the seed used for?

The hashrate of Bitcoin broke its record on Tuesday, May 2. How can we explain such a sudden increase? 

Bitcoin has always had a bad reputation due to its environmental impact. Bitcoin mining, which requires an astronomical amount of energy, is regularly criticized. It is even said that the entire Bitcoin network consumes as much energy as a whole country like Argentina. In other words, cryptocurrencies are perceived as wicked destroyers of the planet. But is this really the case?
