Kraken Credits Clients with bitcoin SV (BSV) and Launches BSV Trading

Como estan bches

The recent bitcoin Cash hard fork resulted in two (for now) viable chains:

bitcoin Cash (following the Bitcoin Cash ABC protocol and roadmap published by bitcoincash.org)
bitcoin SV (following the Bitcoin Cash SV protocol and roadmap published by nChain)

The status of each of these networks can be monitored here: https://cash.coin.dance/

As previously announced, tokens of the bitcoin Cash ABC protocol are listed on Kraken as bitcoin Cash (BCH). However, Kraken will also support tokens of the bitcoin Cash SV protocol under the designation bitcoin SV (BSV).

WARNING: bitcoin SV does NOT meet Kraken’s usual listing requirements. It should be seen as an extremely high risk investment. There are many red flags that traders should be aware of:

No known wallets supporting replay protection (be careful!)
No support in major block explorers
Miners apparently subsidized or operating at a loss
Representatives threatening and openly hostile toward other chains
Chain’s survival may be mutually exclusive with other chains
Supply is temporarily constrained because of limited wallet support
Some large holders have indicated they’d be dumping everything ASAP
Kraken has done only very minimal code review

Custodial losses taken on due to attacks originating from nChain or its affiliates will be socialized among all BSV holders on Kraken. Given the volatile state of the network and threats that have been made, Kraken cannot guarantee perfect custody of BSV.

When will BSV come online?
Kraken will credit client accounts will BSV and launch BSV trading at approximately 15:30 PST today, November 18th, 2018. The BSV order books will come online first, then accounts will be credited with BSV a short time later. Please follow our status page for updates around the time of the launch: https://status.kraken.com/

What time will Kraken use to determine how many BSV I receive?
We will use the time that the last common block before the fork was mined, which was 2018-11-15 17:52 UTC. We will look at the BCH balance you had at this timestamp and add an equal amount of BSV to your balance (so if you had 10 BCH at this time, you will end up with 10 BCH and 10 BSV).

Trading pairs
BSV/BTC, BSV/USD, BSV/EUR

What about funding?
We are currently monitoring both the BSV and BCH networks and will not enable deposits or withdrawals in either token until we think it is safe to do so. Funding may be enabled sometime this week, though it could take longer.

What is bitcoin Cash SV (BSV)?
bitcoin Cash SV was created by nChain. You can read the original announcement about bitcoin SV including the specifications here. bitcoin Cash SV is based on bitcoin Cash (bitcoin ABC v0.17.2) but with significant differences including an increase to a maximum block size of 128 MB.

Will BSV be available on the new trading platform?
Yes – clients will be able to trade BSV on both https://www.kraken.com and the new platform at https://trade.kraken.com. If you haven’t tried the new platform yet we highly recommend it – most clients prefer it for the improved UI, integrated charts and tools. Also, it supports mobile trading (just navigate to https://trade.kraken.com on your mobile device and select “Trading” in the bottom right to get started).

What about margin trading?
Margin trading will not be available at launch for BSV, but may be enabled in an upcoming expansion of our margin offering.

Invest with caution
Listing an asset or token on the exchange does not constitute an endorsement by Kraken, nor in any way a recommendation to buy (or sell) the asset or participate in the associated network.  Our research does not in any way consider whether the price is currently justified, or likely to go up or down in the future. Do your own research and invest at your own risk. bitcoin SV does NOT meet our usual listing requirements and should be seen as an extremely risky investment.

Trade with caution
You should always consider the available liquidity when trading in any market and manage this risk accordingly. But the liquidity of a newly listed asset may be very low, so caution is especially warranted. Be extremely careful with market orders and orders that trigger market orders (e.g. stop loss). To be safe, we recommend the use of limit orders to help ensure that your orders don’t get filled at unexpected prices. Note that sell orders will not start appearing until after the first deposits clear (check the required number of confirmations above for an estimate of how long this might take).

What Is in Store for Cryptocurrency In 2018?

There were many predictions by so-called experts in 2017 and no one was able to predict it correctly. Most thought bitcoin was a bubble that was about to pop and others predicted moderate increases up to $4,000. No one expected it to get to around the $20,000 and even though it has dropped, it has still settled around the $15,000 mark. What the mainstream media seem to be forgetting are the huge returns it has made over the year than the occasional profits taking. Anyone with a Bitcoin Wallet with a sizeable amount held in it over the whole year made a fortune and the same will happen the year ahead.

In 2018 we are going to see a “regulation war” as Governments will try to control the decentralized product. It is going to be a very difficult task to control a bitcoin Wallet and one which is doomed to fail. Rather than fighting the crypto revolution, they should be embracing it. It will only take one country to adopt their own state cryptocurrency and the rest will have to follow. There have been many rumors that China and Russia are going to release their own cryptocurrency. If this happened, the 2017 boom in cryptocurrencies will look like a drop in the ocean.

By the end of 2018 bitcoin may not be the number one cryptocurrency. The Achilles heel of BTC is the high financial transaction costs and unless this is resolved it gives others a competitive edge over it. That is why we are seeing the rapid rise of bitcoin Cash as it is far cheaper and should be a solid investment for the year.

Ripple has the possibility to become the world’s leading cryptocurrency in 2018 and has pushed Ethereum into third place. With the banks and hedge funds now dipping their toes into the crypto market, these two digital currencies are their preferred choice. That could send the prices skyrocketing and transform the sector.

In 2018 expect ICOs to be in the news a lot as these have transformed the venture capital sector. This area of cryptocurrencies is going to be under a lot of scrutiny this year and it faces an epic battle with regulators. Expect many ICOs to fail but the ones that make it will make the initial investors extremely rich if they are brave enough to hold onto it for the next few years.

It is not just the financial system that is going to be revolutionized in 2018 as the technology behind cryptocurrencies (the Blockchain) is going to have a major impact on countless industries. The main sectors affected will be consumer goods and retail, democracy, and government. higher education, manufacturing, technology, telecommunications and media, transportation, resources, and healthcare.

Conclusion

2018 is going to be a roller coaster of a ride and as the worldwide economy gets worse, cryptocurrencies will benefit. The regulation battle is going to get dirty but due to the decentralized nature, it should be able to survive the war. We are going to see inflation get out of control in many parts of the world due to the collapse in fiat money. This will escalate the economic crisis and the solution to it is cryptocurrency. It only takes one government around the world to realize this and the revolution will make the boom of 2017 look like a tiny blip on the chart.
