It would appear most of the bearish crypto market pressure has been eradicated, for the time being. While there is still a long way to until major breakouts occur, it would seem no real damage is to be expected today. The Binance Coin price is still going strong today, as the $15 resistance level has been obliterated without any real problems.

Binance Coin Price Surge Continues to Intensify

The past few weeks have been pretty interesting for select cryptocurrency markets. While bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP have not necessarily noted any real changes, it would appear Binance Coin is following a completely different path. That in itself is rather commendable, although many people expected the token tied to the world’s leading crypto exchange to perform well. This recent 30-day trend, however, is pretty significant.

Even in the past 24 hours, the Binance Coin price noted a strong 14% gain in USD value. This pushes the price to $15.4. There is also a 13.3% increase over both bitcoin and Ethereum. It has been a remarkable trend for BNB throughout 2019, especially when considering how all other markets have performed. Binance Coin also notes healthy trading volume with $234m in trades.

As was to be expected, this BNB price movement is making a lot of people rather nervous. As BenjaminBlunts points out, a lot of people are trying to call the top on Binance Coin and failing miserably. It remains to be seen how long this trend can be extended, yet the previous all-time high is coming within reach as of right now. That in itself shows the coming days and weeks will undoubtedly get very interesting.


When looking at the actual price chart for the past thirty days, it quickly becomes apparent the bull run is firmly in place. More specifically, the price rose from $7.8 on February 5th to $15.4 on March 7th. A remarkable turn of events, primarily because no other market has turned as bullish as BNB. Sustaining this trend should become a lot more difficult, although there are still no imminent signs of weakness.

According to Crypto Leb, it seems rather unlikely anything positive will come of this in the coming days and weeks. This user expects bitcoin to “start ripping” again, which usually doesn’t bode well for any of the alternative markets. Although the impact on BNB has yet to be determined at this point, it is very likely there will be some sort of blowback on Binance Coin when it happens.

Based on the current and recent BNB market momentum, it remains to be seen what the future will hold for Binance Coin. Although there is a chance this uptrend will be resumed, some resistance will begin forming pretty quickly. With a near 100% gain over the past month, a lot of traders will start taking profits fairly quickly. Once that happens, things will undoubtedly get very interesting for BNB holders and speculators.

Adam Back to Jihan Wu: SegWit Not ‘Complicated,’ Fixes Satoshi’s Bug

Hashcash inventor Adam Back has said Segregated Witness (SegWit) “fixes” an original bug in bitcoin from creator Satoshi Nakamoto.


Back: SegWit ‘Fixes Satoshi Bug’

As part of a Twitter exchange Friday, Back rebuffed criticism from bitcoin Unlimited proponent Jihan Wu, demonstrating how SegWit is beneficial to the virtual currency’s core protocol.

Wu, who is a co-founder of mining conglomerate Bitmain, had said that the technology would make the network “more complicated.”

“SegWit is not more complicated,” Back wrote.

“It fixes Satoshi’s bug that txid=H(tx,sig) to txid=H(tx) this is not complicated, and it is necessary to fix.”

What’s more, if implemented, SegWit can can actually help reduce the so-called “technical debt” burden of complicated code albeit having its own tradeoffs, which are assessed here.

The segwit code has been heavily reviewed, which helps resist the introduction of technical debt at both a code and design level…Segwit has multiple independent reimplementations, which helps discover any unnecessary complexity and technical debt at the point that it can still be avoided.

SegWit: Complicated & Straightforward

Wu’s stance echoes a broader opinion from the Chinese community in particular that SegWit creates unnecessary complexity within bitcoin.

In an interview with Bitcoinist this month, for example, Leon Liu, CEO of P2P trading service Bitkan, said that this was a reason why the technology “is not the best solution for bitcoin scaling.”

“Segwit will not be the best solution for bitcoin scaling, it will make the bitcoin network more complicated,” he stated.

At the same time, efforts have been made to allay such fears, Blocktrail CTO Ruben De Vries commenting last year that SegWit “is not very complicated if you already know the ins and outs of the bitcoin protocol.”

Back meanwhile has praised attempts at educating the wider community on the nature of scaling solutions without resorting to ‘political’ siding.

An explainer on SegWit by Andreas Antonopoulos garnered considerable praise, Back describing it as “the best he’d seen on the topic.”

On its benefits, Antonopoulos wrote in the blog post, which originally came out in August last year:

“Firstly, segregated witness reduces the overall cost of transactions by discounting witness data and increasing the capacity of the bitcoin blockchain.

“Secondly, segregated witness’ discount on witness data corrects a misalignment of incentives that may have inadvertently created more bloat in the UTXO set.”

Litecoin Bounce on SegWit Rumors?

SegWit is traditionally considered ‘complicated’ compared to merely increasing the bitcoin block size, despite the latter requiring a hard fork of the virtual currency.

Currently, the proposal is still behind bitcoin Unlimited though both need at least 95% to activate.

Outside the bitcoin debate, rumors surfacing that Litecoin is to activate SegWit may have led to a surprise expansion in value of the altcoin by around 30%.
