Bytecoin (BCN): Is BCN A Fairly Good Investment?

Published

on

The beginning of December of the current year of 2017 was pretty encouraging for many cryptocurrencies out there, which also included Bytecoin. Bytecoin is a digital currency present on the market for five years already. Ever since it was launched back in 2012, this digital currency gained on popularity inside of Bytecoin communities thanks to the revolutionary use of CryptoNote technology. Now, this currency has a net worth of over 982 million dollars with 184 billion coins in use, which says a lot about its popularity and potential when it comes to investing. But, how does Bytecoin uses CryptoNote and what makes it as revolutionary? And, is it worthy of investing?

CryptoNote and Everything you need to Know about it

To be able to explain the revolution of Bytecoin to all of those who are not as informed when it comes to CryptoNote, we first need to start from basics. What is CryptoNote anyways and why is it so unique?

CryptoNote is a technology that supports layer application that enables all users of digital currencies like Bytecoin to have all of their transactions privately processed. You might think: well, all cryptocurrency transactions are private, what is so revolutionary about it?

Yes, in a way, all transactions are private, but there is a difference between the way Bitcoin is operating and the way Bytecoin is operating through CryptoNote. While Bitcoin transactions are secret in the sense that there is no third party involved between the two sides performing transaction so only two parties are in charge, following blockchains, all transactions done through the chains are traceable and can be traced back to the two sides that are using blockchains and Bitcoins for their transactions. They have their privacy but if someone who knows what to do could easily trace these transactions through blockchains.

The case is a bit different for digital currencies using CryptoNote like Bytecoin is. When performing transactions with Bytecoin, just as with Bitcoin, all transactions are solely executed between two parties with the complete absence of a third party, but unlike with Bitcoin, transactions processed with Bytecoin and through CryptoNote cannot be traced. That means that Bytecoin transactions are entirely private and untraceable. This case scenario makes Bytecoin one of the most private digital currencies, setting standards for decentralized platforms.

Bytecoin’s Value

Bytecoin have had an amazingly expected boost when it comes to its value as this digital currency experienced an increase that went up to 375% at the beginning of December 2017, but just as the majority of digital currencies that suddenly dropped with prices, so did Bytecoin. Bitcoin wasn’t spared either, so its value went from 22.000 dollars per coin to 10.000$ per one unit. Given that Bytecoin is still a relatively small digital currency when compared with Bitcoin, and although its net worth is reaching almost 1 billion dollars, this digital coin is worth only 0.0053 dollars per one unit.

This digital currency had experienced an adverse change in price at the end of December, 30th to be precise, when it dropped -8.75%, reaching its current price of 0.0053$ per one coin.

Bytecoin Communities

Privacy is maybe the most significant treasure anyone can have in this digital age when our personal information is almost translucent and with internet presenting the most vital information base there ever was. Having privacy is thus on the high price. Bytecoin is offering precisely that – privacy for all users and all transactions within their blockchains as they made all transactions performed within CryptoNote to be completely untraceable, that way preserving the confidentiality of Bytecoin users and their purchases. That is one of the main reasons why this digital coin is almost billion dollars worth in the total number of available coins – communities are supporting Bytecoin as it provides them with privacy and cost-effective transactions that are untraceable, and quickly and efficiently processed.

What to Expect

Promises that the next year would be fruitful for digital currencies can be found everywhere around the internet news portals, and those predictions should apply on Bytecoin as well as this digital money has been around for a long time. When you take a look at its price drops and ups, you can also notice that there aren’t any dramatic drops, which speaks in favor of its stability when it comes to value and market demand.

Another factor that might indicate that Bytecoin would make a significant investment is the fact that the blockchains. That means that people are using this digital currency, which may also suggest that this coin is here to stay.

When you add its advanced usage of privacy through layer application such as CryptoNote, you get a digital currency that is functional and close to advanced in oppose to the way other cryptocurrencies are being traded with. When you sum all these factors up, it seems like Bytecoin is here to stay for the time to come.

Is it worth investing?

When all its positive factors and the general opinion of financial experts are taken into consideration, you can say without blinking that Bytecoin is a digital coin to follow up. In case the next year would come as benevolent as the first couple of weeks of December, Bytecoin will surely be on the board with big guys, sticking to the top lists and experiencing increasing value and expanded demand.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
