There were more than 800 ICOs released in 2017 alone. Altcoin Developing team included a strong marketing and brand building budget to participate in the FOMO. The Exchanges were also charging hefty fees for listing new altcoins.\nEstimated Money Raised by ICOs in 2017 \nThis was remarkably similar to the dot com bubble when all firms were increasing their valuation and stock price by moving on the internet. The FOMO was created by the fact that everyone will be running online to conduct all kinds of business. While the predictions were right, not all companies benefited from the event. Only some of them did; FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google) are top currently ruling the internet space.\nAlso Read: Winklevoss Twins Bet Beyond FB Cryptocurrency to FAANG; XRP Challenges GlobalCoin/Libra\nBroadcast, Geocities, Napster, Orkut, and Myspace were some of the popular websites during the time which went from boom-to-bust after the bubble burst. On the other hand, companies like Amazon grew exuberantly at new all-time highs.\nAMZN/USD 1-Month Chart on Nasdaq (TradingView)\nThe cryptocurrency bubble has also shown similar characteristics in a shorter time frame. Bitcoin’s rise has been unprecedented while a majority of altcoin traders are abandoning ship. The altcoins traders are calling for a reversal and surges that mimic the increase in 2017. However, Peter Brandt, a chart analyst, and trader said in a tweet,\n“Many altcoins benefited from the last bull run in $BTC Cryptomaniancs expect alts to do so again – they may be very disappointed\n2000 .com bubble is analog Following 2001-02 tech collapse, dotcoms with real value exploded The “alt” .coms went bankrupt”\nHowever, there are some proponents of altcoins that believe that a similar altcoin rise will follow Bitcoin’s rise. Crypto-analyst who goes by the pen name, MoonOverLord replied to Peter saying,\nThe dotcom bubble didn’t pop 5 different times every other year.\nCryptocurrency Gains Since the beginning of the month (coin360)\nEthereum traders tried to maintain parity with Bitcoin [BTC]. However, the rise was less than half of Bitcoin’s surge even then. Monero [XMR], Binance [BNB] Coin, Litecoin [LTC] are some of the other top cryptocurrencies which maintained comparatively higher parity Bitcoin. Some of the altcoins have taken losses of more than 35% since last month.\nAlso Read: Crypto-Market Update: BTC Dominance at 63%; Alts XRP, ETH Test 1-Year Support\nFurthermore, while the top-ranked cryptocurrency stands a higher chance of becoming successful, it is still no guarantee of their survival. Yahoo is one of the most prominent examples; it was gaining massive momentum during the early 2000s performing better than even Google. Nevertheless, it failed after reaching an all-time high in 2005.\nThe rising dominance of stablecoins has also affected the utility of altcoins in payments due to reduced volatility. The success of altcoins will strongly depend on the development and partnerships it draws during this phase.\nWhich altcoins do you think will “boom” again?

Exchanges are still being targeted by hackers and criminals, with some efforts being more successful than others. Bitrue, the trading platform, has lost several million in ADA and XRP this week. \nBitrue Gets Hacked yet Should Come Back\nEvery single time a cryptocurrency exchange gets hacked, there is a genuine concern regarding the future of such a platform. In most cases, the exchanges will come back sooner or later, albeit they might force users to pay for the missing funds. Such decisions never tend to go over well in this industry, albeit it has become a go-to solution for quite a few companies struggling as of late. \nHow Bitrue will handle things, remains to be determined. The company confirmed it had lost over $4m in funds due to a hack. The criminals were mainly interested in obtaining Cardano and XRP, which are two rather popular alternative markets. The vast majority of stolen funds was taken from the XRP balance. It is believed up to 90 users are affected by this hack. \n\nThe hacker used what they learned from this breach to then access the Bitrue hot wallet and move 9.3 million XRP and 2.5 million ADA to different exchanges.\n— Bitrue (@BitrueOfficial) June 27, 2019\n\nIt would appear the hackers tried to cash out a significant portion of the funds by transferring it to several digital exchanges. It is believed that some of the funds have been frozen, albeit it remains to be seen where the rest of the money ended up at. If Bitrue can recover a portion of this stolen funds, they will have an easy time repaying users and resuming their services like normal. There will still be a loss of over $3m, but the company confirms balances were insured and will be replaced as soon as possible. \nAs one would come to expect from an incident on this scale, Bitrue is officially closed for business. It is unclear how long that will remain to be the case, but it is possible the exchange will make a comeback later this week. For now, the company has not officially confirmed anything in this regard, thus users will need to remain patient. A lot will depend on how the associated investigation moves along.\nIt is not the first exchange to be hacked in 2019, and it will most certainly not be the last either. Various trading platforms have drawn the attention of hackers and criminals, primarily because cryptocurrencies remain popular. Additionally, the rising prices of Bitcoin and altcoins will undoubtedly attract even more attention. Whether that will be for better or worse, is difficult to determine at this point.\nFor the time being, it seems this incident has no relation to the ongoing Bitcoin price decline which took place earlier today. It seems plausible to assume this news will not have a positive impact on that price trend either, although one never knows what to expect when it comes to these volatile cryptocurrencies. For now, it would appear none of the markets will note a new all-time high prior to the weekend coming to a close. \n\nDisclaimer: This is not trading or investment advice.

Analysis suggests this trend has not broken yet, and could accommodate for further upwards momentum as we progress towards the month of July.\n\n\nEthereum Daily Chart\n\nOn the 1D ETH/USD chart we can see current price levels are still trading within the uptrend parabola, despite bears gaining control over the majority of the market over the last 24 hours, as noted in an earlier analysis.  Price levels reached a high of $360 before a much needed short-term correction back to around the $300 support region.\nBoth the 200EMA and 50MA has clearly begun respecting the most recent bullish trend as they appear to start curling to the upside. Sporadic volume continues as does the volatility with the daily RSI clearly overbought. Visible range POC (Point of Control) currently sits around $135 with the most volume traded around December of 2018 shown by the extremely high volume spikes.\nOverall, the current consensus for ETH both short and medium term, is still overtly bullish. We shouldn’t the expect price action to fall below the moving averages mentioned above, unless market sentiment takes a dramatic turn. It is however, likely the parabola will be broken at some stage. When it does break, we should expect to see the price action drop to support levels extremely quickly, and most likely result in brief panic across the market. \n\nEthereum Hourly Chart\n\nOn the 1H ETH/USD we can clearly see the most recent brief correction that has played out over the last 24 hours. This appears to be a much-needed breather following on from the 60% move to the upside over the last 18 days.\nThe steep decline in short-term price action has created a clear descending channel with current market price trading alongside the Hourly POC (Point of Control). Current market price action is also sandwiched between the Hourly 50MA and Hourly 200EMA. Considering ETH is clearly in a bullish trend right now, market price sitting between moving averages is a good buy signal.\nA breakout to the upside through overhead resistance forming the descending channel is the most likely outcome here which would likely propel ETH’s price to new yearly highs above $360.\nCurrent rising uptrend towards the bottom of the descending channel sits around $283, this also co-incidentally the parabola support mentioned on the Daily chart analysis above.\nThere’s been a significant amount of selling over the last 24 hours during this brief correction. Despite the large selling pressure no real bearish momentum has come to life. Price levels are holding reasonably well. This is another factor leading many to believe the most likely short-term outcome is a breakout of the current descending channel to the upside.\nDo you think the current bullish parabola will sustain throughout Summer?

But there is a far more critical sector that is not undergoing the same scrutiny when it comes to data and information – the health sector.\nThe health sector is an interesting case study in technological disparity. On one end of the scale, there are robot surgeons, but within the same hospital, there can still be fax machines.\nThe health sector, despite its attempts to modernize and move with the times, is letting itself down when it comes to health and medical data management. Arguably, this form of data is the most personal, most private, and most demanding of protection and streamlining – yet the system is severely flawed.\nAnd when it comes to modernizing data management in the health sector, it is the blockchain that could be the answer.\nA Sickly Situation for Data Privacy\nCurrently, patient data and information are badly mismanaged. It must be remembered that within the health sector, there are different entities, from GPs to pharmacists, to surgeons and specialists, and at the end of it all, insurers.\nAll of these entities rely on patient information; however, there is no single codified data management system for them to use. Doctors store patient information differently to pharmacists, and insurers, of course, have their own way of dealing with things.\nMore concerning is that the data your doctor has is not entirely relevant for your medical insurer; however, there is not much stopping that personal information from permeating to places you’d rather it did not.\nAdditionally, the current electronic health records (EHR) system is severely centralized and is a vulnerable point of attack. The EHR system is trying to modernize by using cloud services, but this is not good enough when taking into consideration the importance of data privacy.\nData Disruption at its finest\nThe good thing is that the medical space is one that is open to being modernized and disrupted. While this issue of data management may seem trivial on the surface, it is the backbone of a patient’s journey through the health service’s field.\nFor that reason alone, it seems evident that the data about a patient should not be left in the hands of a doctor, or whoever is the first port of call. Preferably it should be entrusted to the patient as they make their way through different areas of the medical sector.\nData control is a weapon of the blockchain, and a company called MediLOT is harnessing this powerful technology to arm patients with full control of their data. It is a disruptive yet decisive task they are undertaking.\nOpening doors to new solutions\nMediLOT believes that by leveraging technologies such as blockchain, and AI, machine learning and data analytics, they will be able to reinvigorate the all-important EHRs for patients.\nBlockchain technology will enable patients to own their health data and be in full control of it. By doing this, the value of the data increases as it can be shared and saved securely and with full control. Now, Big Pharma, for example, can have access to clean useful health data that it has been granted access.\nOf course, the data also becomes protected further in its storage as the blockchain would offer a decentralized ledger, eliminating the possibility of a single-entry catastrophic breach.\nFirming up the health sector’s information foundation\nThe health and medical sector is a humongous industry, and an intimidating one to navigate for ailing patients. Concerns should not be focused around a poor EHR system, rather about getting well.\nLeaving data management in the hands of a fragmented and siloed health sector leaves too many doors open for data manipulation, breaches of privacy, and inefficiencies in transmitting information.\nWhat MediLOT proposes, with its blockchain-backed system, is a solution that turns EHRs on their head. Patients are offered secure and immutable ledger for their information to be stored on, as well as the keys to share data where necessary.\nIt is a disruptive and bold undertaking, but one that is simple as a solution, and also very necessary in the age of data privacy.\n \nThe post Can Blockchain Offer Protection for Most Personal Patient Data? appeared first on NewsBTC.\n","currencies":[],"description":"In today’s world, the privacy of data is paramount, causing people to demand protection of their data on social media sites, for example.
