    Real Bitcoin Action Has Not Even Started Yet: Samson Mow

    The JAN3 boss clearly expects that the leading cryptocurrency is likely to continue rising.In a tweet, Mow shared his bullish take on this price movement: “The real action hasn’t even started yet.”Samson Mow is known for his frequent predictions of Bitcoin soaring to $1 million in the near future.The data source stated that this whale transferred 159 BTC to Binance. That is the equivalent of $11.32 million.Aside from that, there were two other dormant Bitcoin wallets that had awakened within less than 48 hours. One of them was spotted active again on Monday, and it contained 16 BTC. Back in 2013, when this Bitcoin was last moved, it was valued at $1,147,359. In 2013, these Bitcoins were worth roughly $2,160; therefore, this whale potentially received a 53,018.5% bonus on their profits.The second wallet is from the Satoshi Nakamoto (enigmatic Bitcoin creator) epoch – 2010, the year at the end of which he disappeared from public view.That wallet held 28 BTC, which were worth less than $9 in 2010, with Bitcoin worth $0.30 at its peak. Now, this has turned into a fortune of $1,995,139 if sold.Bitcoin has been growing in price for the past week. Over the past two days, it has added 5.22%, and since Friday, the growth has constituted an impressive 7% as it surged from the $66,500 zone to $71,125, where BTC is currently changing hands.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Saylor’s MicroStrategy up 3.8% on Premarket as Bitcoin Hits 5-Month High

    The aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy of CEO Michael Saylor seems to be working, as MicroStrategy’s stock performance closely tracks changes in the price of Bitcoin. As investors become more interested in Bitcoin due to its price spikes, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) Global, one of the other crypto-related stocks, is up 2.6%. Bitfarms, a significant Bitcoin mining company, saw a premarket gain of 61%, and Hut 8 and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) also saw increases of 34%. Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) increased three points to join the rally. In the meantime, ETFs that track Bitcoin, such as iShares Bitcoin Trust and ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, saw gains of 2.5%, indicating increased confidence in the Bitcoin industry. According to data from “Saylor Bitcoin tracker,” MicroStrategy has seen a significant increase in the value of its Bitcoin holdings. With an average cost basis of about $39,464, the current price of $71,201 has resulted in significant unrealized profits, with a total estimated profit of over $8 billion.MicroStrategy’s position was further reinforced by the recent acquisition of 87,420 Bitcoin on Sept. 20 at a price of $61,750 per Bitcoin. This acquisition added substantial value because the price of Bitcoin has since increased significantly. Bitcoin’s potential to hit new highs has boosted investor sentiment, as evidenced by the robust premarket performance of cryptocurrency stocks. Bitcoin may support further gains in all crypto-related assets if it continues on its current upward trajectory. These gains are not assured, though, due to Bitcoin’s volatility and continuing optimism will probably rely on the cryptocurrency’s capacity to maintain above the crucial $70,000 mark. The rally has confirmed Saylor’s long-term outlook on digital assets as MicroStrategy’s approach is strongly linked to the performance of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin continues to rise to new all-time highs, MicroStrategy and its cryptocurrency industry peers appear to be well-positioned to profit from its momentum.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Student Coin Announces Comprehensive STC Token Redemption Following Operational Shutdown

    Student Coin, an educational crypto project established in 2019, has initiated a structured token redemption process following the decision to wind down its primary operations. This move aims to protect the interests of STC token holders as the team transitions its focus towards new ventures.Originally launched by undergraduates from Kozminski University in Warsaw, Poland, Student Coin began as a student-focused initiative designed to explore blockchain applications in academia. The project quickly expanded, reaching over 15,000 students at more than 500 universities by the end of 2020. Throughout its development, Student Coin introduced various products, including the STC Wallet, STC Terminal, STC Academy, and Coinpaper, which supported blockchain education and fostered community engagement.Following the success of its 2021 STC Launchpad, the project experienced continued growth, culminating in a user base of over 200,000. However, as the crypto market evolved, the team faced challenges ranging from legal obstacles and university resistance to the collapse of major exchanges, all of which impacted its operational outlook.After careful consideration, the Student Coin team opted to phase out products such as the STC Terminal, STC Academy, and other initiatives. This decision reflects the company’s intention to act responsibly by redeeming $STC tokens instead of continuing with limited prospects for growth.The decision was made to distribute all remaining project funds between token holders, ensuring that through winding down the token, everyone receives fair compensation based on their individual situation.The established redemption prices range between $0.006 and $0.0137 per STC Token and are tailored to individual user profiles. Factors such as purchase price, purchase date, token holdings, and participation in programs like the Premium Program influence the final redemption value. This tiered system rewards those who have been with the project from the start and actively engaged with the Student Coin ecosystem.Image: STC token’s historical price index along with the major events affecting its fluctuations.On-chain holders can transfer tokens to a designated burn address. Users should expect a processing time of up to three months to receive the USDC back to the address. Keep in mind that USDC can only be sent to the address that burned $STC. Users cannot receive USDC at any other address. Furthermore, it is extremely important to remember that users cannot send $STC to the burn address directly from an exchange, as they would lose all of their funds.Read the detailed on-chain burn procedure.For more information, please visit StudentCoin.org.ContactCoinpapercontact@coinpaper.comThis article was originally published on Chainwire More

    Bitcoin price today: rises above $71k amid election hopes, positive technicals

    Bitcoin initially jumped to a near five-month high of $71,579.0, shrugging off recent concerns over reports stating the U.S. government was probing stablecoin major Tether. The token curbed some gains to trade at $71,244.0 by 08:02 ET (13:02 GMT). Broader cryptocurrency prices also rallied tracking Bitcoin.A report from Coindesk attributed the price spike to buying by major crypto whales on Binance during Asian hours.The world’s largest cryptocurrency was boosted largely by growing speculation that Donald Trump will beat Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, with voting set to take place on November 5. Online prediction markets favored a Trump victory, while recent polls also showed Trump gaining ground against Harris. Trump has campaigned on promises of crypto-friendly regulation, which could bode well for the industry in the U.S.But Harris had recently also pledged to a crypto regulatory framework, spurring bets that the crypto industry will benefit regardless of the election outcome.Sentiment towards Bitcoin was also encouraged by the formation of a golden cross between the token’s 50-day and 200-day moving average. A golden cross is formed when an asset’s short-term moving average exceeds a longer-term moving average, and usually heralds upward movement in prices. Tuesday’s gains put Bitcoin back in sight of a $73,750 record high hit in March.The world’s biggest cryptocurrency had traded largely rangebound since marking new peaks in March, although its recent gains put it well above a $50,000 to $65,000 trading range seen through most of the year.Broader cryptocurrency prices advanced on Tuesday, tracking strong gains in Bitcoin. Ether, the world’s biggest altcoin, rose 3.6% to $2,617.07Other altcoins SOL, MATIC, XRP and ADA added between 0.7% and 2.1%, while among meme tokens, DOGE rallied to a five-month high.Speaking of DOGE, futures interest in the meme coin is climbing rapidly, approaching record highs from April as renewed trading excitement builds around the token. Speculation centers on the possibility of the acronym “DOGE” becoming part of Republican Donald Trump’s potential administration.DOGE’s price has surged 12% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data, following Elon Musk’s appearance at a Trump rally and a subsequent X post where he used a DOGE avatar. Traders are attributing this rally to “Trump’s popularity,” per the reports.Since Sunday, DOGE-denominated futures have jumped over 30%, reaching 8 billion tokens by Tuesday morning in Europe, nearing April’s record of 9 billion in open interest.In terms of stablecoins, bets on DOGE have surged from $850 million to $1.3 billion, per CoinGlass data.Open interest (OI), the total of outstanding contracts like futures or options yet to be settled, signaling growing interest in an asset. Rising open interest alongside price gains suggests new money entering the market.As contracts approach expiration, higher open interest can drive volatility as traders may quickly adjust positions, impacting prices significantly.Musk has drawn closer to Trump in recent months, backing him with donations and endorsements. He has floated the idea of a “Department of Government Efficiency,” or D.O.G.E., to curb government spending.Ambar Warrick contributed to this report.   More
