$SOL The genesis of Solana is owed to a certain Anatoly Yakovenko, a software engineer expert in compression algorithms and distributed systems, who began working on the project at the end of 2017, when he published the White Paper for this new blockchain.
The document in question introduces the concept of "Proof of History", a new method for determining the date of transactions, and a key technology of the platform, which we will return to in more detail later in this article.
Buy Solana with Coinhouse
In association with Greg Fitzgerald, Raj Gokal and Eric Williams, he co-founded the company Solana Labs the same year, to implement the project.
Initially, it was called Loom, before quickly adopting its current name to avoid any unfortunate confusion with another blockchain platform already bearing a similar name
#CryptoSurge2025 In addition, the Bitcoin Halving took place in April 2024, which is often like the trigger for a new bullish wave, from which Ethereum and the entire market could benefit. The outlook for 2024 is therefore good for the Ethereum stock price.
We have seen previously that the merger led to a change in Ethereum's issuance policy. While standard coins were previously added to the supply, with the implementation of Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559, this is no longer the case with the current activity. The issuance policy is currently just inflationary with annual inflation barely above 0 (0.013%/year) since the merger. Since we are currently in a bear market, which means that activity on the network is lower than in a bull market, the issuance policy will logically evolve towards a deflationary policy with more activity. This could have a big impact on the price eventually, which is why some are bullish on Ethereum and predicting “the turnaround.”
#BTCBreaksATH Breaking Through Resistance and Liquidating Short Positions Over the past few days, Bitcoin has broken through a key resistance between $65,000 and $71,000, leading to a wave of short liquidations. Short sellers, who were challenged by the sudden surge, saw their positions wiped out as Bitcoin easily cleared the $68,000 and $70,000 levels. This momentum helped fuel a rapid price rally, sending the price as high as $73,600, close to its previous all-time high of $73,800.
Data provided by CoinGlass shows that this massive liquidation reversed market sentiment, forcing bears to retreat. The surge was also aided by bitcoin’s rise in market dominance, which reached 60% for the first time since 2021. The figure, which measures bitcoin’s share of the overall cryptocurrency market, is often seen as a leading indicator of a broader bull run.
#NFPCryptoImpact The crazy year of 2021, when the price of Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies exploded 🚀, saw many new institutional players arrive in the world of crypto currency. Some have made colossal gains by investing in Bitcoin. But not everything is so magical. As the king of cryptos reaches new records at over 90,000$ in November 2024, let's take a closer look at this investment.
Let's first quickly recall what cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin are. The former, also called crypto-assets or digital assets, are digital and decentralized currencies. BTC is, by far, the best known of them. It is also permanently in first position in the top 50 cryptocurrencies (ranking according to market capitalization).
Are you wondering whether to buy cryptocurrencies or, to start, invest in Bitcoin? (If you have never touched cryptos, I would stick to BTC alone. The reason is simple: it is the oldest and therefore the safest / least risky.)

#OnChainLendingSurge On-chain financing, also known as decentralized or crypto lending, is a form of lending that is applied for and obtained on the blockchain. In other words, rather than going through a traditional financial institution, businesses take out loans directly from crypto investors. To do this, they deposit their crypto assets as collateral and present their transaction histories to lenders. On-chain financing is accessible to all Web3 projects that have been excluded from the traditional banking system. This type of lending also offers several advantages to borrowers, including the ability to directly access the borrowers’ transaction history, etc. Similarly, businesses can use their crypto assets as collateral, regardless of their borrowing capacity.
#CryptoMarketDip After years of reflection, I just opened my Crypto wallet.
I often regretted not having mined bitcoins at a time when I had a powerful graphics card, I often told myself that I did not necessarily want to endorse cryptos because of its dark side and the environmental problems that it could create.
But there is a real movement: Large groups buying cryptos, creation of ETFs to make them more easily accessible to the general public, ...
And then everyone is talking about inflation at the moment. Currencies are devaluing more and more. So, what will be the safe havens? Will Gold still be the safe haven or will cryptos take their share of the market?
So I opened several accounts on platforms like Binance but SEPA transfers do not work and the account funding via credit card charges 1.8% in fees. So, I chose Coinbase which recently went public. For those who are interested, attached is my referral code which allows you to get €8 in bitcoin for €87 invested in a crypto.
For now, I plan to put a ticket each month in 2 cryptos: Bitcoin and Solana.
Would be happy to discuss the subject with others who have already invested or who like me want to start in this type of investment.
#BinanceMegadropSolv Airdrops, which consist of distributing free digital tokens of cryptocurrency projects (usually new ones), are very popular in the sector. The digital asset exchange platform Binance has understood this well, by offering its own Binance Megadrop service since April 2024.
This Tuesday, January 7, 2025, it is therefore the third airdrop of this Binance service that opens its doors: that of the Solv protocol (SOLV), which allows the staking of Bitcoin, with the aim of creating a financial ecosystem centered on the cryptocurrency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto.
The teams of the crypto-exchange thus announce that the BNB tokens locked from January 7 at 1:00 a.m. (French time) allowing to collect SOLV tokens, which will be distributed at the end of this locking period. In this case, January 17 at 1:00 a.m. (Paris time).
#BitcoinHashRateSurge Bitcoin (₿, BTC, XBTn 1) (from the English bit: unit of binary information and coin "coin") is a cryptocurrency otherwise called cryptographic currency. In the case of the unit denomination, it is written "bitcoin" and, in the case of the peer-to-peer payment system, it is written "Bitcoin"1. The idea was first presented in November 2008 by a person, or a group of people, under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto2,3. The source code of the reference implementation was published in 2009. The goal is to create a decentralized and peer-to-peer system in order to be able to exchange monetary value without any third party organization, such as financial institutions4.
$BTC After a meteoric rally in 2024, Bernstein predicts that bitcoin BTC= will hit $200,000 by the end of 2025 as sovereign adoption of the cryptocurrency gains momentum, along with supply and demand dynamics.
Bitcoin surpassed $100,000 in December, a milestone hailed even by skeptics as a coming of age for digital assets, with investors betting on a friendly U.S. administration to cement cryptocurrencies’ place in financial markets.
U.S. President-elect Trump, who has previously called cryptocurrencies a scam, embraced digital assets during his campaign, promising to make the country the “crypto capital of the planet” and amass a national bitcoin stash.
“The announcement of a national bitcoin reserve by the United States would trigger a global sovereign race for bitcoin acquisition among nation states,” say Bernstein analysts, who estimate that bitcoin will gain 120% by 2024.
At the same time, Bernstein clarifies that his $200,000 forecast does not take into account demand from governments, but only that of institutions and businesses.
#BitcoinHashRateSurge What is Hashrate? How is it measured? Hashrate reflects the performance of mining hardware. It is measured in solutions per second. A solution in the Bitcoin Cash network is called a hash, or simply h. Mining is measured in (hashes per second). 1 Kh/s = 1,000 h/s 1 Mh/s = 1,000 Kh/s = 1,000,000 h/s 1 Gh/s = 1,000 Mh/s = 1,000,000 Kh/s = 1,000,000,000 h/s 1 Th/s = 1,000 Gh/s = 1,000,000 Mh/s = 1,000,000,000 Kh/s = 1,000,000,000,000 h/s What is a solution? My GPU hash rate. Your GPU or mining rig calculates thousands of millions of hashes (solutions) per second. For example, an Nvidia 1070 Ti graphics card has a hash rate of 340 MH/s, according to 2CryptoCalc (English), a mining profitability calculator. This means that it calculates 340,000,000 solutions per second. In other words, it solves a hash function 340 million times per second. A solution is a result gained after one cycle of mining program operation. Miners solve a hash function defined by a cryptocurrency algorithm multiple times in one second. This is called a hash function solution, or a hash. Mining itself is a guessing game where miners solve hash functions by searching for a potential solution block until they find the right one. Once found, they move on to the next problem and try to solve it as well.
#CryptoReboundStrategy With 2025 upon us, it’s the perfect time to make new resolutions in the crypto space. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced investor, structuring your investments, strengthening your security, and expanding your knowledge can make all the difference. Here’s how to approach this year with confidence and success in the crypto world.
Set clear goals for your investments Before investing a single euro in cryptocurrencies, it’s essential to clearly define your goals. Why do you want to invest? Is it a long-term investment to diversify your portfolio, or do you want to explore the ecosystem to understand how it works? Maybe you’re attracted to active trading and its opportunities for quick gains. Whatever your intentions, take the time to evaluate your motivations. This will allow you to create a coherent strategy that is adapted to your ambitions. By having clearly defined goals, you will be better equipped to navigate this complex universe.
Diversify your portfolio Investing all your capital in a single cryptocurrency may seem tempting, but it is a mistake to avoid. Diversification is a golden rule in investing. Bitcoin and Ethereum remain safe bets, but it may be interesting to explore other cryptos, altcoins, by focusing on those that support solid projects with real utility. Study their white paper to understand their vision and potential.
