Digibyte is a currency that holds a regular spot within cryptocurrencies top 100. At the time of writing, it is valued at $0.034 and is down 8.24%. Recently, Digibyte has hit a high of $0.04, and we should remember that back in January 2018, Digibyte hit an all-time height of $0.12, something that could eventually be surpassed should Digibyte’s world domination plan fall into place. Okay, Digibyte don’t plan on taking over the world, however, through baby steps, they want to start being listed as a real time payment option on a number of e-commerce websites. What’s more, if you own such a website, it’s something you’ll be able to roll out, yourself.

Interested to add @DigiByteCoin as a payment system for your website? You can use www.coinpayments,com or https://t.co/T0QH7wuYEN! #DigiByte #Blockchain #Consensus2018 pic.twitter.com/clxm5EVT6A

This recent tweet by Digibyte points towards Coingate, a system that allows for cryptocurrency payment integration on various websites. Coingate already provide services to websites such as PrestaShop, now, Digibyte will be added as an option along Coingates services. Overall, Coingate work with over 40 altcoins and automatically convert the payments into Bitcoin or FIAT currency, therefore the website receives their payment fast and the user doesn’t need to work out any confusing exchange rates, instead they just pay with Digibyte (in this example) and Coingate do the rest. This sort of integration will set Digibyte up for a very prosperous future, assuming that companies start to get on board. Through integration with Coingate, Digibyte are opening up brand new channels for investors to spend their Digibyte and of course, for new people to hear about it and thus, go on to invest in it. Let’s face it, you want to buy a product and realise you can get a better price if you use Digibyte, you’re likely to go and buy some Digibyte, to allow yourself to go and make the purchase and thus get much more for your money.

• Is 2021 XRP’s year?

• How adoption will result in the success of the token.

Timothy Peterson, the well-known advocate for bitcoin and manager of global macro, believes that the San Francisco-based XRP token will have its best year in 2021 since 2017. 

As previously reported earlier this week, Peterson has recently said:

“I know it doesn’t look like much but this is $XRP lowest price forward. I think people will be surprised at $Ripple’s performance in 2021. It will probably have its best year since 2017 and maybe outperform #Bitcoin.”

As many people will already be aware, the success for ripple and its token will all depend on adoption by financial institutions. They have developed numerous new products such as rippleX in order to help facilitate a seamless transaction on the decentralised ecosystem for the network. But for the tokens targeted market, only 2% of financial institutions are actually willing to use it.

The Chief Technical Officer of Ripple, David Schwartz has previously said that there are numerous obstacles that prevent adoption for the token some of which include problems with regulation. That being said, well-known traders and investors at Galaxy trading have said that the asset is proven to be resilient.

“Although it is perhaps one of the most disliked projects, it has more than once shown its aggressive nature at a time when no one is expecting it.”

They see that the coin is capable of sparking by 10 times its current price as they say:

“We believe that this moment is very close and since catching the exact bottom is something very unpredictable, our advice to all who want to invest is to start buying at these “golden” levels of support where 10X can become a reality.”

• Vitalik Buterin, has recently answered a number of questions from the community as a part of a “ask me anything“ session on Reddit. 

• The co-founder highlighted many different topics but specifically said that he expects some significant and noticeable network improvements to come for the project sooner rather than later. 

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of one of the biggest crypto projects in the industry known as Ethereum has recently answered a number of questions from the community as a part of a “ask me anything“ session on Reddit. The co-founder highlighted many different topics but specifically said that he expects some significant and noticeable network improvements to come for the project sooner rather than later. He further said:

“TLDR: merge happens faster, PoS happens faster, you get your juicy 100k TPS faster.”

Over the years, the network for Ethereum has experienced some significant rounds of high congestion. Three years ago in 2017, the popular CryptoKitties game slowed down the network massively but with the decentralised finance space growing rapidly, the network has been seriously clogged up.

As a result of this, it has led to high fees and longer than average confirmation times.

With Ethereum 2.0 very much just around the corner, there is a significant scaling upgrade solution that is supposedly going to speed up the network rapidly. This will increase the number of transactions per second and it will also move the blockchain to a different consensus algorithm known as a proof of stake. Phase 0 for the upgrade is set to occur on the 1st of December in two weeks!

The co-founder further went on to say that “all of these changes are designed to decrease the time until eth2 becomes useful to people.”

• Ricardo Salinas Pliego is the second wealthiest businessman in Mexico and the 166th richest man in the world. 

• It was recently announced last week that he has invested 10% of his liquid portfolio into the leading cryptocurrency, bitcoin. 

Ricardo Salinas Pliego is the second wealthiest businessman in Mexico and the 166th richest man in the world. It was recently announced last week that he has invested 10% of his liquid portfolio into the leading cryptocurrency, bitcoin. This came after he shared a video throwing huge amounts of paper money into the garbage. Not only does it show how worthless the government-issued cash is in today’s world but it also shows how important digital assets such as bitcoin could become.

Para iniciar con el #Bitcoin, les comparto un video tomado en un país latino donde los bancos tiran el dinero a la basura (el papel moneda no vale nada) es por eso que siempre es bueno diversificar nuestro portafolio de inversiones 😌.

Esto es la expropiación inflacionaria! 🤦🏻‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/ahblQW6AhO

Furthermore, the video indicates the hyperinflation and how bad it got in Venezuela.

Ricardo is worth more than $11 billion at the time of writing and is the only billionaire from Mexico who seems to have benefited from the coronavirus pandemic and the economic crisis that has come as a result.
