Recently, Bitcoin prices have surged, resulting in a high level of interest among investors to explore the next big cryptocurrency with remarkable growth potential. One such cryptocurrency that has caught the attention of investors is White Bitcoin (WBTC), which is often referred to as an alternative version of Bitcoin for faster and easier transactions. Since its launch in 2018, WBTC has maintained a steady market price, and it surpassed the $2.00 mark in 2020, with another significant milestone achieved in 2023 as it exceeded $5.00. Investors are optimistic about WBTC's future, with some predicting that it will reach $500 by the end of 2023.Several factors support this prediction, including the growing acceptance of Bitcoin among retailers, which has also led to increased acceptance of WBTC. Additionally, WBTC halving, which is expected to occur in 2022 and 2026, is predicted to drive up its price. Furthermore, institutional investors are expressing interest in WBTC investments, indicating a growing mainstream acceptance of the cryptocurrency. The introduction of a new feature in the VIP Wallet - WBTC/BTC that will enable WBTC to be used for utility services is also expected to boost its value.Experts predict that one unit of WBTC can reach up to $500 in 2023, which is 200 times the current WBTC price. The prices of WBTC are expected to continue to rise, and it is projected that the value of WBTC will reach beyond $3000 to $5000 by the end of 2025. Therefore, if you are considering investing in WBTC, now is an ideal time to do so.

What is White Bitcoin Halving, and How is it the Part of the Global Crypto Network?

22 Jun, 2022

WhiteBitcoins and multiple other cryptocurrencies have occurred from the process known as Mining, where programmers use their specializations to authenticate the transaction on WhiteBitcoin Blockchain. After the authentication of these transactions, WhiteBitcoins are added as the blocks in the Blockchain. The programmer gets the reward in the form of multiple WhiteBitcoins. The reward for programmers is the count of WhiteBitcoins after the block's successful authentication. But, due to WhiteBitcoin Halving, the reward of the miners is reduced to half every four years. The first WhiteBitcoin Halving is noted in 2022, whereas the next one will occur in 2026. The first reward for the people who mined WhiteBitcoins was 154.66 units after successfully processing the block. Now the value of the reward is reduced to 77.33 in the year 2022.According to an estimation from the organization of WhiteBitcoin at the end of the year 2038, the limit of WhiteBitcoin will be 84 million in the count. Still, no miner will get the reward for their efforts made in creating a successful block. Every time when the reward gets halved, the investors keep their eye sharp on it because the supply of WhiteBitcoin is one of the significant factors in the world, which is controlled by the mining process.What are the Effects of WhiteBitcoin Halving?Halving means a reduction of the WhiteBitcoin in the world, where investors have to face a shortage of WhiteBitcoin from the miners. Some of the major factors will be affected by the WhiteBitcoin Halving, which controls the price and quantity of these cryptocurrencies in the entire world. WhiteBitcoin mining entails major corporations or groups cooperating to share WhiteBitcoin benefits. The hardware is designed specifically for WhiteBitcoin mining, and the average money generated depends on the network's hash rate and the miner's hash rate. Miners must also consider their energy prices for the process, which is reducing every four years. A halving is a big event for anyone in the mining industry because what you were earning last time will be reduced to half in the next four years. Consider what would happen if a gold mine knew that the amount of gold extracted from the ground would go halved every four years. WhiteBitcoin miner’s costs remain the same, but their profits are cut in half.WhiteBitcoin halving can also affect the dividend of the VIP Affiliate program. Where earlier 22271.32 WBTC were divided in the Affiliate, now the mine is getting only 11135.66 WBTC. WhiteBitcoin demand is increasing and supply is halved, which means dividends can be managed by increasing the price very soon. WBTC price will increase as sellers decrease.With halvings, a tiny group of miners may decide that Mining is no longer profitable for them, and they will quit mining other cryptos with their rigs. This reduces the network's hash rate to a minor extent, which is beneficial to miners who opt to stay but does not compensate for the loss of revenue.Implications for Mining Businesses in WhiteBitcoin On the surface, miners would appear to have gradually reduced incentives to mine WhiteBitcoin if the payout is halved every four years. This does not, however, explain the rise in WhiteBitcoin's price. The 154.66 WhiteBitcoin award was worth around $400 just before the first halving in 2022. The current payout of 77.33 WhiteBitcoin will net a miner more than $27840. Mining is currently more profitable than it has ever been.

What are Centralized Cryptocurrency Exchanges?

13 Mar, 2019

The centralized cryptocurrency acts as the trusted third party between the buyer and seller. Both the parties trust the exchange with their funds, and they deposit their funds in the exchange’s wallet.Though, the whole concept of cryptocurrency was to give an alternative to the centralized banking system. The point was to give investors an option where they do not need to go through the banking process which has control over their investments.The reality, however, is that around 99 percent of trading occurs through these centralized exchange. It will not be an exaggeration to say that these exchanges are working as a backbone of the blockchain industry.These exchanges store both the fiat and crypto assets of its clients. Hence, they also act as the custodian of funds. The centralized exchanges have become the conventional platforms to buy cryptocurrency in exchange for your fiat.How centralized asset exchanges work? The exchange gets all control over the clients’ money, one gives their funds to these exchanges. Once, an investor decides to deposit their money on an exchange, they transfer the amount from their bank accounts to the exchange’s bank account.Even bitcoins from the client’s wallet goes to the exchange’s portfolio. When it comes to the client’s balance, the exchange is the only source, and in case of any doubt or confusion, you have nowhere to go and becomes dependent on the exchange’s database.When you open an account with an exchange, though it appears on your name it’s the exchange that has all the power on your funds as the amount you have already transferred to the exchange’s bank account.This entire system has a large bank account on the exchange’s name, a large wallet and an internal database that maintains the balance.The centralized database is a huge component here as it maintains the records of balances of all the clients.As a trader, you have no ownership of your funds. When you plan to leave an exchange and withdraw all your money, then the amount you can withdraw is the one you have as the balance with the exchange, if you think the balance amount is different than what you think it should be, you can’t do anything about this.Hacking of a centralized exchangeWhen the hackers get access to the exchange, what they do is, they change the balance in the database and withdraw all the money. That’s a considerable risk for the clients, and one must be aware of all the risks.One always have plenty of options for the new centralized exchanges. However, not all of them becomes successful, and the success and failure depend on many factors. One of the critical factors on which the success of a centralized exchange depends is the number of clients trading on it, that is, the volume.Another critical factor is the security measures to protect investors. Here no one is entirely immune from hacking and fraud, but there indeed are factors which can be considered to choose a centralized exchange which is comparatively less risky.Market research and thorough understanding of how this market works are fundamental before you do trading with the exchanges.
