Closing Prices for Some Cryptos, 2022 January 26

As the third post in a daily series, streaks begin to take hold for the 6 cryptos tracked by closing price. Continuing streaks just have a number change. New streaks are appended after the previous streak to provide a new analysis tool. The "Closing Prices for Some Cryptos" series was inspired by the Coin Prices widget on the front page of the combination blockchain explorer and content viewer named hive.ausbit.dev. This post will show the closing prices for some cryptos as of 2022 January 26.

Closing Prices for Some Cryptos, 2022 January 26

This is the reason for this post!

Crypto	USD (Previous)	26 January 2022	24h Trend	Streak
Bitcoin	36,774.000	36,870.000	UP ↗	W2
Ethereum	2,447.830	2,470.430	UP ↗	L1W1
Litecoin	109.980	107.020	DOWN ↘	L2
HBD	0.998	0.976	DOWN ↘	W1L1
Hive	0.851	0.877	UP ↗	W2
Cub Finance	0.244	0.241	DOWN ↘	W1L1

^{Closing Prices come from their respective Historical Data pages at CoinGecko.com.}

BTC and HIVE continue their winning streaks at 2, but LTC keeps its losing streak going at 2. ETH ends its losing streak at 1 to start a winning streak. However, both HBD and CUB end their winning streaks at 1 to start losing streaks.

Why Those Cryptos?

Bitcoin and Ethereum

As I prepare this post, the combined market dominance of Bitcoin and Ethereum exceeds 59%. That's reason enough.

HIVE and Hive-Based Dollar

As the cryptos we earn at Hive Social regardless of our community or tribal affiliations, it's natural for these to be included here.

Cub Finance

CUB is the child who grew up and went away to college, backpack through Western Europe, signed up for military service, moped through South Asia, decided to go into the trades after high school, or protect endangered species in Africa. It's a product from Hive which went to reside on Binance Smart Chain. It's on sale, too, so buy while supplies last!

Litecoin

While hive.ausbit.dev covers the EOS price, I chose to cover the Litcoin price. Since I began to use Litecoin to bring money into Hive Engine in November 2021, I've taking an interest to it. Although it's a direct hard fork from Bitcoin capped at 84 million LTC, it doesn't have the following of Bitcoin, and it is criminally undervalued. It also beats Ethereum when it comes to fees.

Something To Read Besides a Table

When magazines were in their heyday as physical publications, some people bought certain magazines for the articles while others bought those same magazines for their visual media (and a few twisted people even bought that very magazine for its joke section). Just as those magazines offerred something for everyone, I'm taking that approach here. Some people will read this post for the Coin Prices covered here, and others will read this post to learn a bit about some project or other in the Hive ecosystem. It just makes sense that the first project featured here is hive.ausbit.dev.

Today's Bit about hive.ausbit.dev

Although the front page of hive.ausbit.dev shows modules and widgets for network status, links to blogs both trending and shared by Hive account@ausbitbank, and Coin Prices, the dApp is primarily a blockhain explorer. This means that it will let anyone search for account activity, a Transaction ID (TX ID), or a a specific block by its number. After the search is made, it will present results in the expected manner of a blockchain explorer. The edited and annotated image below shows part of the search for the account Hive account@magnacarta:

The next post will show what happens when using hive.ausbit.dev to search for the results of a TX ID.

Just My Two Sats

This post is the first in the series to show streaks for the 6 cryptos covered. Although more changes may be made to how the Closing Prices table is presented, it looks as if this will be the format for now.

While the front page for hive.ausbit.dev may show information not normally shown by a blockchain explorer, searching for any of 3 items returns results in the manner expected of a blockchain explorer.

Other projects for Hive will be covered here, but for now we continue with hive.ausbit.dev since it has much to offer regular users of the Big 3 front-ends (Ecency, PeakD, and Hive.Blog).

~~~~~ About Hive account@magnacarta ~~~~~

Sometimes I discover posts way after the initial earnings period. It's too late for me to upvote posts then, so to make up for the lost upvote I send a slice of PIZZA instead. My main focus is cryptocurrencies from a number of angles (educational, commentary, observations, even pop culture). A secondary focus is sharing my discoveries about the world of Hive Social. Most of my posts can be found at these two locations: ● LeoFinance : @magnacarta ● Proof of Brain : @magnacarta Follow me at this D.Buzz-only account : ● D.Buzz : https://blog.d.buzz/#/@magnacarta.buzz-- note the ".buzz" at the end! If you follow me at Hive account@magnacarta.buzz, please follow me at this account as well I expect 2022 to be the year I go from being crazy or weird to being eccentric. If that doesn't happen, then Festivus will last longer than I can stand.
