During an earnings call with investors and stakeholders, Michael Miebach, CEO of Mastercard, discussed his positive outlook on the cryptocurrency industry. The company had seen sizable volume growth in consumers using their Mastercards to purchase crypto and secured several partnerships with cryptocurrency firms. But Miebach's most ambitious viewpoint comes from a discussion regarding central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, saying: "We are saying at this point in time, the most likely chance for this kind of technology to work for payments is if it's issued through a government in the form of a CBDC. We said that on a couple …

Bitcoin (BTC) was the first cryptocurrency, originating back in 2009. By offering a set-in-stone monetary policy combined with "permissionless-ness" and radical openness, Bitcoin presented an alternative opt-in financial system -- one where economic freedom reigns. The crypto space has since expanded far beyond Bitcoin. Largely driven by smart contract platforms like Ethereum (ETH), users now have access to an entire decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, on-chain programmable art (in the form of nonfungible tokens, also known as NFTs), crypto-based games, and much much more. Given that less than 5% of people globally own Bitcoin, we can consider the cryptocurrency to still …

Before we get into the nitty gritty of how one simple rule created the kind of insane return on investment noted in the headline, let’s be clear on one thing. You can't copy this. Actually, no human can. Even a trading bot couldn’t replicate this particular strategy in real life, because it’s a thought experiment, a proof of concept, rather than an actual way to make money in crypto trading. The exchange fees alone would kill this particular strategy for most traders. But that doesn’t mean it’s useless — in fact, it’s the perfect way to illustrate how a simple …

It might seem that the volatility of digital assets’ prices and the lightning speed with which crypto markets move would mean that those who act fastest secure the heftiest rewards. And, in certain cases, this holds true. For example, when an announcement of a token’s listing on Coinbase or Binance first goes public, and the asset’s price line becomes all but vertical. But, in many cases, the tortoise beats the hare. This principle is clearly at work when it comes to traders using quant-style tools to enhance their decision-making. One example is the VORTECS™ Score, an algorithmic comparison between historic …
