  • Dubai: Crypto & Coffee at 8: 🚨15th Aug🚨 Market cap of Ethereum little over 50% of Bitcoin.✋🏻 BlackRock launches Bitcoin Private Trust ❓ What’s the highest dominance Ethereum has had in the past?
    15th Aug
    📊 The market cap of #Ethereum little over 50% of #Bitcoin. Will this change as the merge date gets closer? See slide No 2 below as we track daily if #ETH Flips #BTC Cointelegraph has just reported that Ethereum hits 8-month highs in BTC as money heads for ‘riskier’ altcoins. Article here: https://bit.ly/3vZfwlF Finance Magnates a few days ago also confirmed that Ethereum 2.0 (Consensus Layer) Deposit Contract Approaches 13.3 Million ETH Article here https://bit.ly/3QNGKUp. You can also track it here via Etherscan https://bit.ly/3SKPj49. The Power of Opensource💪🏻. Over the last few weeks, Ethereum has remained the best-performing crypto asset among the top 10 in the last seven days.
    ❓Question:
    - What’s the highest dominance Ethereum has had in the past & when?
    - If & when Ethereum flips Bitcoin what difference does it make?
    Messari has great historical data here https://bit.ly/3zVgW1M
    😎 There’s also an excellent article by Arijit Sarkar that talks about the Top 5 misconceptions about the anticipated Ethereum upgrade. Worth a read https://bit.ly/3SMrbxU
    🧐 The transition from Proof of Work to Proof of stake won’t be easy as few forks in opposition are already in place Bitcoin.com article states that the proposed Ethereum PoW Fork token lost half of Its market value in less than six days Article here https://bit.ly/3AiKpUH. Will Ethereumpow.org sustain itself in the long run?
    😳 BlackRock is the investment giant & the world’s largest asset manager, with US$10 trillion in assets under management launched Bitcoin Private Trust. Official news via a blog post here https://bit.ly/3pjoQgk. The trust is available to U.S. Institutional clients and seeks to track the performance of bitcoin, less expenses and liabilities of the trust. Important to note is that BlackRock is encouraged that organizations such as RMI and Energy Web are developing programs to bring greater transparency to sustainable energy usage in bitcoin mining, and will follow progress around those initiatives.
    ✋🏻 Could it be possible that these giants could switch Bitcoin Proof of Work to Proof of mining? Historically, Bitcoin has had an allergic reaction to the council, associations & control points of failures. With giants such as Blackrock entering the Bitcoin space could they impost best practices, and guidelines & changes from POW to POS? Convincing a few people & offering a few incentives to people like President Nayiib Bukele Michael Saylor & Elon Musk could change the trajectory of the consensus mechanism
