Tron price bites the dust as bears shake up all markets

The bearish cryptocurrency momentum affecting most, if not all markets, is taking its toll on some of the top altcoins. When Bitcoin puts on the brakes in an aggressive manner, other markets tend to follow suit pretty quickly. If the Tron price is any example of what is yet to come, today will not be a good day by any means. Its value has absolutely tanked and continues to drift lower every hour.

Tron Price Momentum Continues to Sour

It is rather uncommon to see a market on the level of Tron lose so much value in very quick succession. While it is not the first time this happens, once also has to wonder how dire things will get in the hours and days ahead. For now, it seems the onslaught is in full effect, as roughly $10bn has been wiped off the total cryptocurrency market cap in just a few hours’ time. That is usually an indication things will remain pretty brutal moving forward.

Over the past few hours, the Tron price has declined to $0.026, which represents a 13.88% decline. Things are not looking much better in TRX/BTC territory, as the altcoin lost over 10.2% in that regard a swell. Despite a jump to 600 Satoshi seeming rather plausible on Monday, that momentum has now been eroded completely. The bigger question is whether TRX can remain above 500 Satoshi for much longer, as the pressure continues to mount.

Despite the negative price pressure, Justin Sun is trying to keep the momentum alive for Tron on social media. He looks back on the progress achieved throughout the past six months. It is certainly impressive to see how Tron has grown ever since, but it seems that growth alone will not necessarily warrant prominent price changes. Additionally, a lot of people think Sun is just a “hustler”, whereas others wonder when BTT will finally get a pump. One simply can’t please cryptocurrency enthusiasts these days, it seems.

As one would come to expect, there is a very strong focus on the TRX price chart at this time. CryptoJunky expected a big correction to kick in sooner or later, although he does regret not using a stop loss in the process. When markets turn sour in such a violent fashion, a stop loss order would certainly be of great value. For now, traders have to wait and see how dire things will get before the price can bounce back.

John Peters van Ton is in the same boat, sort of. This trader sees this as an ABC correction, which does not necessarily warrant him to sell his positions by any means. It is an interesting buy opportunity for those who are confident Tron will bounce back in the future, as this lower price can allow for some quick profits in the not-so-distant future. Cost-averaging down one’s positions is never a bad idea, although it’s never wise to put too many eggs in one basket.

When looking at all the other markets, it shows Tron is not the only one facing a fair bit of pressure right now. It has noted some higher losses compared to other markets, but it can also potentially recover that lost value a lot quicker if things turn around. For now, the losses will need to be taken in stride, as everyone waits for bitcoin to turn around again. That may take a while, as the weekend is just around the corner as well.

Estonia Is One Step Closer to Creating a Digital Nation

Estonia is well on its way to realizing its dream of building a global nation supported by its e-Residency program and its own cryptocurrency.


Digital currencies have definitely taken 2017 by storm. Massive price increases, mainstream adoption and just an overall interest in the benefits of blockchain technology have been some of the key highlights of this year.

It’s not just investors hoping to capitalize on these benefits though, governments can also see the advantages to having a cashless financial system.

Bragging Rights for the First State-Run ICO

Bragging Rights for the First State-Run ICO

Estonia had previously announced its plan to develop its own cryptocurrency, the Estcoin. In addition, the country has plans to launch an ICO for its crypto. If successful, it will be the world’s first state-approved and supported ICO.

According to Futurism, the Estcoin would support the country’s e-Residency initiative, which is a project aimed at creating and fostering a global digital nation. Kaspar Korjus, who is the program’s managing director, explained that essentially, anyone in the world who has Internet access can become a “digital citizen” of Estonia. In addition, these citizens can set up and run their business in the country.

Since its launch, the e-Residency initiative has received over 27,000 applicants from more than 140 countries. In addition, 4,272 companies have been registered.

A Multi-Faceted Token

According to Korjus, the state-operated Estcoin token would have varied uses. He explained:

The community Estcoin would be structured to support the objective of growing our new digital nation by incentivizing more people around the world to apply for and make greater use of e-Residency. This includes encouraging investors and entrepreneurs to use e-Residency as their platform for trusted ICO activity.

These tokens, which cannot be traded, can also be used to facilitate electronic signatures, and for log-in purposes. Even though its value will be connected to that of the euro, it is by no means a substitute for the country’s fiat currency.

Vitalik Buterin, who is the co-founder of Ethereum, gave his opinion on the matter:

[I]f these estcoins are issued on top of a blockchain (they could possibly be issued in multiple formats at the same time, nothing wrong with this) then it would become easy and convenient to use them inside of smart contracts and other applications.

Estcoin Is Part of the Bigger Picture

Even though countries such as Russia, Israel, and Dubai have plans to launch their own state-controlled digital currencies, Estonia seems to have a clear picture in mind, not just in creating a useful crypto, but incorporating it into a new era in the digital revolution.

Do you think Estonia will succeed in creating a digital nation? Will the Estcoin help with this vision? Let us know in the comments below!
