In the traditional Sunday survey ForkLog - another price record bitcoin and "diamond" hardfork, the release of Ethereum-protocol Casper, problems with Bitcoin Gold and other important events of the past week.
9000
Today, on November 26, the price of the first crypto currency set another record, exceeding the $ 9000 mark. It is noteworthy that the $ 8000 milestone was passed just over a week ago, on the night of November 16-17.
Now the capitalization of "digital gold" ($ 150 billion) exceeds the market value of companies such as IBM and 3M Co. Bitcoin is not only the leader among the crypto-currencies (the dominant index is 52.9%), it exceeds the other digital assets by the daily trading volume (BTC - $ 4.5 billion, ETH - $ 1.1 billion, BCH - $ 1.1 billion).
Some users of social networks have noticed that bitcoin is growing exponentially, which means, probably, a new psychological level is close in the form of a number with four zeros:
Records of DASH, Ethereum and Monero
Not kriptoinom the crypto-anthusiast is alive - the outgoing week was marked by the rapid take-off of several highly liquid altcoyins.
Thus, the historical maximum was paired with the dollar the price of the Ethereum (ETH) crypto currency.
Currently, "digital oil" is trading around the $ 460 mark. The market capitalization of Ethereum is $ 44.5 billion.
Another popular crypto currency - DASH - was also growing rapidly. Currently, its price is around $ 630. Over the past seven days, DASH's CRO has grown by more than 40% and bypassed the capitalization of Litecoin.
Earlier this month, a new version of the DASH Core v.0.12.2.1 client was released. In addition to general performance improvement, among the main innovations, one can note an increase in the block size to 2 MB and a tenfold reduction in the amount of commissions. All these changes and improvements, in all likelihood, had a positive impact on the price of DASH.
I tried not to lag behind the competition and the "super-anonymous" Montero crypto currency. Against the backdrop of news about integration into the popular hardware purse Ledger, this digital currency has demonstrated steady growth. Now XMR is trading around $ 160, and by the volume of capitalization it occupies the eighth line of the Coinmarketcap rating.
Since September 18, the currency has traded in the corridor of $ 80- $ 100, but since November 8 it began to show stable growth, which eventually led to the renewal of the historic maximum.
"Digital Diamonds"
On Friday, November 24, in the bitcoin network, another hard-core happened. The resulting coin is called Bitcoin Diamond and is given a BCD ticker.
Shortly after this event, the team of this project reported on Twitter that a new coin was added to the listing of 28 not very popular crypto-exchange exchanges.
After a while, a new coin was added to the analytical service Coinmarketcap, and Bitcoin Diamond futures were listed in several more or less well-known crypto-instruments, including Binance, YoBit and OKEx.
Among the distinctive features of the "diamond bitcoin", we can note a tenfold increase in the maximum volume of emissions, a block size of 8 MB and another mining algorithm (optimized X13, which is designed for GPU). Also on the project site it is indicated that in Bitcoin Diamond is implemented protection against replay and support for SegWit.
It is expected that the next fork of bitcoin will be the so-called Super Bitcoin. The site of this project indicates that the hardcore will take place on December 17 at block 498 888:
