Mati Greenspan Says BTC Halving Will Be Nothing Like BCH And BSV!

Mati Greenspan recently tweeted regarding his views of the upcoming BTC halving. Greenspan sees the BTC halving as a completely unique event and that it should in no way be compared to the halvings of BCH and BSV.

Stating that BTC was the embodiment of digital scarcity and that BCH was just free money, created on the back of Bitcoin. I would have to agree, as I shared a similar viewpoint in a recent article regarding the BCH halving.

Hard Forks are often given validity on the opinion that the community can no longer coexist and therefore need to split. However, I believe it is merely a scapegoat used to form a new project and simultaneously benefit from the success of the original brand. Interesting to note that "Bitcoin halving" is currently trending at all time high levels on Google Trends.

BTC To Adopt Proof Of Stake?

Niklas Nikolajsen is an OG in the Crypto space, owning his first BTC at the tender price of below a penny. He is the founder of the Swiss Crypto broker, Bitcoin Suisse and believes Bitcoin could adopt proof of stake in the event that Ethereum succeeds in its adoption of the POS system.

As we wait to see how Ethereum fairs in its new direction, we can entertain the opinions of Niklas and others on the future of the BTC network. Proof of work is way more secure than proof of stake but other attractions to the POS system may still arise after Ethereum's transition.

Personally, I do not share the same opinion but I could be wrong. It is still early days for Crypto and a lot of advancement and maturity still needs to enter the space.

Loopring Added As New Payment Method On Publish0x

Loopring is a really sweet addition to Publish0x and I am sure quite a few publishers and readers are really glad to see the addition. Loopring enable non-custodial exchanges, which is soon to become a very hot spot in Crypto.

Loopring is similar to Binance DEX in that users maintain their private keys. So anyone using Loopring can perform an exchange without having to surrender their private keys. This is how it should be and is definitely the way forward when it comes to selling and exchanging tokens. Currently the LRC token is trading at $0.027, with an all time high price of $2.40.

LRC is ranked number 103 with a daily trading volume of approximately $2.5 million, so it has a fair amount of adoption and daily use. I am excited to see how much LRC will be incorporated into the Publish0x payment structure. Any thoughts on the addition of Loopring? Let us know in the comments below.
