Privacy Crypto Zcash to Undergo Complete Rebuild Because It Was A Failure: Analyst

ecrypt’s Tim Copeland attended a developer conference hosted by the Electric Coin Company in Croatia.
 He reports that the company is considering the most significant possible changes to its product, Zcash.
 Privacy Coin Considering Massive Development Pivot If you’re studying crypto, you may have heard of Zcash.
It’s a “privacy coin” which allows users to guard their transaction details from the public, and currently the  coin in its class by market capitalization (after Monero).
 Zcash developers want the cryptocurrency to service as many as 10 billion people in the coming three decades, Copeland reports, and they’re willing to do just about anything to get there.


 One of the major considerations they’re currently undertaking is whether or not (and how) to implement “sharding,” a scaling technique advanced by Ethereum.
 Adamant Capital analyst and Bitcoin commentator Tuur Demeester believes this is an admission on ECC’s part that their original design was never scalable.
 Zcash is essentially the Zerocoin protocol inserted into Bitcoin  as an oversimplification.
 Important aspects of spending funds differ.
 Zcash has certain limitations inherited from Bitcoin and its initial design, which the company would like to solve a bit more creatively than simply increasing the size of blocks.



Once again, Zcash is building on the shoulders of giants, following important aspects of Ethereum’s developmental roadmap.
 The company says that they will have to make changes so drastic that an entirely new blockchain design will be required.
 Zerocoin Protocol-Based Developers Get Creative Presumably, this future hardfork will credit existing holders.
 But, new designs necessarily entail new vulnerabilities.



 Not so long ago, a bug was found in the Zerocoin protocol which enabled unlimited inflation.
 The CryptoNight protocol, which underpins Monero, once saw a very similar bug emerge in Bytecoin, it's first implementation.
 Over 80% of its supply was created through an exploit in the first year.
 No one knows who, but a single user likely holds the majority of all BCN.
 Bitcoin has also had problems with bugs potentially causing inflation.

These applications come from prominent asset management companies, including BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale Investments, and ARK Investments.    Notably, in the past week, several of these firms have made crucial updates to their applications, hinting at the evolving nature of their proposals.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused b

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge toward the $40K zone.
