RE: Cycle into Alts. Hope its true!26 May 2021 01:28
Hope you don't mind me posting this, I'm not here to discourage BTC but to highlight DOT and Dfinity is doing well on its own and their value will move and that's the premium these shares have. Stability is crucial, sadly not for traders I suspect. Nice to see it up and hope it continues for all especially those who bought at higher levels even when DOT was not even at its ATH. ATB
Digital asset investment products saw another consecutive week of net outflows, with a total of US$97 million, another new record for outflows, according to CoinShares. But the outflows, at 0.2% of total assets under management, remain low compared with net inflows of US$5.5 billion in the year to date (11.8% of assets under management). “Regardless, it represents a net change in sentiment following increasing regulatory scrutiny and concerns over Bitcoin’s environmental credentials,” the report said.
Despite declines in Bitcoin and Ethereum, altcoins — typically coins other than Bitcoin — saw continued positive sentiment, with inflows totaling US$27 million. Multi-asset and Polkadot investment products saw inflows of US$7 million and US$5.5 million, respectively.
Bitcoin had outflows of US$111 million and Ethereum saw minor outflows of US$12.6 million following a long run of record-breaking inflows totaling US$924 million in the year to date (8% of assets under management).
Proof-of-work and proof-of-stake are two differing consensus mechanisms that can be used to secure a blockchain network. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum run on PoW systems, in which miners solve complex algorithms and are rewarded with cryptocurrencies, requiring huge amounts of energy. PoS is a more energy-efficient method in which validators lock up their cryptocurrency to secure the network. Ethereum is moving towards a PoS consensus with Ethereum 2.0, and its total energy use is expected to fall by at least 99.95%.
