We can never know exactly when a coin is at its lowest point, where it’s best to buy, but right now most coins are lower than they’ve been in a long time.
Before you ask, the names marked with a light grey background in the leftmost column are just some I watch more than the others. I always watch Bitcoin and Ethereum so no need to mark them.
Well, I think the crypto market will stop falling when the big investors are finished selling off their coins, mostly Bitcoins.
Notice how it follows the stock market. The stock market is sensitive for such things as interest rates, inflation or recession, but the crypto market is not sensitive to those things so why does the crypto market follow the stock market? Because it’s the same investors in both markets and when they panic and sell off stocks they also sell off crypto coins.
You and me are not big enough investors to affect the crypto market the way we see it fall now. We are small potatoes compared with big institutional investors and other big investors with billions of dollars invested in Bitcoin. So it’s them that make the crypto market volatile and behave like a jojo! When they’re out, the market will stabilize and slowly go up, IMO. Until they want to go in again, that is.
There are several reason why I made my own list in a spreadsheet, mainly these:
I have many custom-made columns. Some are hidden in the view above, but most of them are to the right of those shown and are used for my own coins. I store and calculate my investments to the right in this spreadsheet and have made a pie chart of my assets and a column chart of relative growth of prices too, in two separate tabs. You can see an example of that column graph in post #18 above.
I needed to be in control of the data I got so I could do my own calculations. If I used a ready-made online watchlist then I had to be content with what it showed me, more or less.
I needed an overview of both the coins & tokens and my own assets in the same view. Switching views back and forth didn’t work for me.
I haven’t found a place online that gives me the overview I wanted. True, I haven’t tried tried CoinGecko, but several others. Either they didn’t satisfy my need and/or they were subscription sites.
My spreadsheet does not contain any fees for scraping the data online I need for calculations.
I needed a black background, because I often work at night and white backgrounds hurt my eyes. Not all online sites provide a black background in watchlists.
Since I’m an old programmer I could make this, so I did.
I will keep some of those as tips for my own research and might even start doing my own sheet.
I normally use coingecko but you’re right it doesn’t always have all the colums you want and arranged in a personalized matter nor they give that option.
My recommendation would be to focus on the big ones, for example Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and others. Note: Solana (SOL) isn’t supported by Trezor devices.
But, as with stocks, the important thing is to follow a coin/token over time to see how it performs and why before you decide to invest in it or not. In other words, you want to know the market as good as you can before jumping into it. The volatility in the crypto market makes it harder to watch and draw conclusions though.
The European Union (EU) has made another step to regulate the crypto market, with a new law. The law is expected to come in effect sometime late next year.
The new law gives issuers of crypto assets and providers of related services a “passport” to serve clients across the EU from a single base, while meeting capital and consumer protection rules.
EU states will be the main regulators for crypto companies, though the bloc’s securities watchdog ESMA will have powers to step in if investor protection or financial stability is threatened, lawmaker Urtasun said.
My opinion is that this is just a first new step of several to regulate the crypto market in Europe. And when the EU blames the volatility and “wild west” conditions, it’s just an excuse for implementing these regulations. The volatility has other reasons, IMO, and therefore these regulations won’t help remedy the volatility at all. What the EU really wants is to control the crypto market.
Well I now have read the full article and realized that the title is misleading.
Even though we can consider the method used a new way of trying to retrieve info from the hardware.
This method, in my understanding, is only possible because the team at keychainx had a lot of info on the original passphrase,
the team searched an ample space of characters and words, but the mask and algorithm took approximately two months too long. The team had to change tactics and look at the TREZOR owner’s hints and find a pattern. The pattern used small/capital characters as the first password character. Then several lower-case characters, and then limited combinations of numbers (birth dates, months, pin codes to safe etc.). Two unique characters were also used, so the team had to add that into account
They had a lot of help to get to the original passphrase.
