Tesla deutete zunächst an, Bitcoin für Zahlungen in einer SEC-Anmeldung zu Beginn dieses Jahres zu akzeptieren.

Elon Musk hat angekündigt, dass Tesla-Autos jetzt mit Bitcoin ( BTC ) gekauft werden können

Der CEO des Elektroauto-Unternehmens und „ Technoking “ sagten, das Unternehmen würde Bitcoin-Knoten direkt hier betreiben und an dem angesammelten Bitcoin festhalten, ohne es in Fiat umzuwandeln.

Tesla gab erstmals seine Absicht bekannt, Bitcoin Anfang Februar für Produkte zu akzeptieren, nachdem das digitale Asset im Wert von 1,5 Milliarden US-Dollar gekauft worden war. Dies ergab eine SEC-Meldung . Die Option, einen Tesla über BTC zu kaufen, wird vorerst nur auf Kunden mit Sitz in den USA ausgedehnt.

Elon Musks Beharren darauf, dass das durch den Verkauf der Fahrzeuge des Unternehmens verdiente Bitcoin nicht in Fiat umgewandelt wird, legt nahe, dass es nicht nur als Transaktionsmedium, sondern auch als Anlageinstrument verwendet wird.

Durch den Betrieb eigener dedizierter Bitcoin-Knoten wird Tesla einem globalen Netzwerk von Peer-to-Peer-Betreibern beitreten, die die Bitcoin-Blockchain hosten und synchronisieren

Besucher der Tesla-Website von einer in den USA ansässigen IP-Adresse aus sehen jetzt ein neues Bitcoin-Zahlungs-Widget, das zu den Checkout-Optionen der Website hinzugefügt wurde. Die Auswirkungen der Akzeptanz von Bitcoin durch Tesla waren möglicherweise am frühen Mittwoch auf dem Kryptowährungsmarkt zu spüren. Gleichzeitig mit der Veröffentlichung der Nachrichten stieg der Dollarwert von Bitcoin um 2,9% von 54.056 USD auf 55.630 USD.

In den Bitcoin-Geschäftsbedingungen von Tesla heißt es, dass Bitcoin das einzige digitale Asset ist, das Tesla derzeit als Zahlungsmittel für seine Produkte akzeptiert. „Sie dürfen bei uns keine Einkäufe mit anderen digitalen Assets tätigen, einschließlich Bitcoin-Gabelprodukten wie Bitcoin Cash und Bitcoin SV. Unsere digitale Bitcoin-Brieftasche ist nicht so konfiguriert, dass andere digitale Assets als Bitcoin erkannt oder empfangen werden“, heißt es in den Bedingungen.

The well-known weekly magazine reviews the cryptocurrency positively in the current issue.

Newsweek, one of America’s most influential weekly magazines, has spoken positively about Bitcoin (BTC) in a new article, discussing whether the market-leading cryptocurrency may usher in the new gold standard.

Wednesday’s article reviews the thesis of Bitcoin as digital gold, citing a calculation model from investment bank JPMorgan that issues a price target of up to $146,000. Although the article does not provide any new information for long-time crypto fans, it is at least a confirmation that the perception of Bitcoin in the mass media and among the general public has now turned significantly to the positive.

„Everything that glitters is not gold, but perhaps Bitcoin,“ as author Scott Reeves writes accordingly in his article. To that effect, he adds, „In the long run, it could be even more valuable.“

This, then, is the picture that Newsweek’s readership, which numbers in the millions, is getting. Many readers are likely coming into contact with the cryptocurrency for the first time, which makes this positive first impression all the more important.

Earlier this week, Bitcoin Circuit was already on the front page of the Financial Times, ironically on the very twelfth „birthday“ of the first Bitcoin blockchain, which also illustrates that the public is no longer ignoring the cryptocurrency.

Perhaps for this reason, more and more investors are flocking to the market, which can be seen from the fact that the number of new wallet addresses has abruptly gone up.

Crypto podcaster Peter McCormack believes these investors have long-term intentions, and are likely looking to invest for the next three to five years. Sonny Singh, the COO of BitPay, agrees with this assessment, but worries that a further upswing in Bitcoin could lead to some institutional investors booking out partial profits, causing a reversal.

The development of Google searches for Bitcoin indicates that more and more private investors are probably getting „gateway panic“ (FOMO), which could further fuel the price, at least in the short term.

Searches on the word „Bitcoin“ during the current run-up are still low compared to the hype of 2017, which suggests that there is still room for improvement at the moment.

However, it remains unclear whether the general public’s understanding of Bitcoin has changed or whether the renewed interest is merely due to the rapid price increase. Regardless of what ultimately emerges, the added value of Bitcoin is no longer known only to a few.

MicroStrategy erweist sich als die wichtigste Bitcoin-Drehscheibe des Jahres. Als institutioneller Investor hat das Unternehmen seine Liebe und seinen Respekt für Bitcoin recht offen geäußert, die es nun dank des kürzlichen Kaufs zusätzlicher Bitcoin-Einheiten über den Preis von 19.000 US-Dollar hinaus auf ein ganz neues Niveau hebt.

MicroStrategy zeigt der Welt, wie sehr sie BTC liebt

In der Vergangenheit hat MicroStrategy Bitcoin bei zwei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten gekauft. Beide fanden im Jahr 2020 statt. Das erste Mal war im August, als Bitcoin im mittleren Bereich von 11.000 US-Dollar lag. Die Währung schoss innerhalb einer Woche oder so nach dem Kauf um mehr als 300 Dollar in die Höhe, was auf den ersten Blick nicht viel erscheinen mag.

Der Kauf selbst war jedoch bedeutend, wenn man bedenkt, dass das Unternehmen die weltweit führende digitale Währung im Wert von mehr als 250 Millionen Dollar nach Marktkapitalisierung gekauft hatte. Somit schossen diese 250 Millionen Dollar in die Höhe und erhöhten den Nettowert des Unternehmens um mehr als 100 Millionen Dollar. Somit erwies sich der Kauf von Bitcoin für den institutionellen Akteur bereits als lohnend.

MicroStrategy bewies jedoch, dass es noch nicht bereit war, auszusteigen, und trotz eines starken Rückgangs um mehr als 1.000 Dollar einen Monat später kaufte MicroStrategy im September weitere 175 Millionen Dollar in BTC-Einheiten, wodurch sich die Bitcoin-Gesamtsumme auf mehr als 400 Millionen Dollar erhöhte, was in etwa dem Betrag entspricht, der 2014 an der Mt.

Dies erwies sich als ein großes Glücksspiel, da der September für den Vermögenswert ein relativ bärisches Verhalten zeigte, aber die Dinge entwickelten sich schließlich so, dass Bitcoin zum Zeitpunkt der Abfassung dieses Artikels für weit über 19.000 Dollar gehandelt wird, was bedeutet, dass MicroStrategy mit jeder Bitcoin-Einheit, die es vor drei Monaten gekauft hat, etwa 9.000 Dollar verdient hat.

Zweifellos hat das Unternehmen mit seinen Bitcoin-basierten Entscheidungen viel Geld verdient, und jetzt hat es etwa 50 Millionen Dollar an neuer BTC gekauft, was bedeutet, dass es jetzt fast eine halbe Milliarde Bitcoin besitzt. Es ist einer der größten Bitcoin-Halter da draußen, und die Chancen stehen gut, dass es nicht darauf aus ist, in nächster Zeit aufzuhören.

Immerhin ist der CEO des Unternehmens, Michael Saylor, wiederholt erschienen, um den Menschen zu sagen, wie stabil Bitcoin ist, und dass er ihm weit mehr vertraut als Standard-Bargeld und Gold.

Noch mehr BTC in seinem Versteck

Wenn man bedenkt, wie hoch die Bitcoin zur Zeit der Drucklegung ist, setzt das Unternehmen wahrscheinlich auch auf die Idee, dass die Währung in den kommenden Monaten wieder stark ansteigen wird. Michael Saylor gab die Nachricht in einem Tweet bekannt und erläuterte dies:

MicroStrategy hat in Übereinstimmung mit seiner Treasury Reserve Policy ca. 2.574 Bitcoins für 50 Millionen Dollar in bar zu einem Durchschnittspreis von ca. 19.427 Dollar pro Bitcoin gekauft. Wir halten jetzt etwa 40.824 Bitcoins.

Das Unternehmen hat seinen Kunden auch indirekten Zugang zu Bitcoin-Investitionen gewährt und hat in den letzten Wochen eine Verdoppelung des Kurses seiner Aktien erlebt.

Crypto values vs. crypto values – On the dissonance between German and European cryptoregulation

Fachanwalt Lutz Auffenberg has specialised in the field of fintech and innovative technologies with his law firm Fin Law. In particular, block chain technology and its regulation is the focus of his work. In his guest commentary he deals with the dissonance between German and European cryptoregulation.

When the European legislator created the first piece of codified regulation in the cryptographic market in the course of its fifth anti-money laundering directive, he chose the term virtual currencies to cover Bitcoin, Litecoin and similar blockchain-based value units. When it became necessary to transpose by Bitcoin System app the requirements of the fifth anti-money laundering directive into national law, the German legislator nevertheless refrained from introducing a definition of virtual currencies into the Money Laundering Act and instead introduced its own definition into the German Banking Act (KWG) with the term „crypto values“, which was intended to cover as many block-chain phenomena as possible.

In Germany, crypt values have therefore been financial instruments under the KWG since 1 January 2020. They are defined as digital representations of a value that has not been issued or guaranteed by any central bank or public authority and does not have the legal status of a currency or money, but is accepted by natural or legal persons as a means of exchange or payment on the basis of an agreement or actual practice or serves investment purposes and can be transferred, stored and traded electronically. The German legislator has exempted from its definition e-money instruments as well as digital means of payment which can only be used in limited ecosystems. Germany thus followed an independent path that was not exactly conducive to harmonising European cryptoregulation.
EU Commission takes up the concept of cryptographic values in the draft MiCA Regulation

With its publication of the Pact for the Digitalisation of the Financial Market in September 2020, the EU Commission also presented a draft for a uniform, Europe-wide regulation of the cryptomarket. With the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), the Commission wants to ensure uniform licensing requirements for crypto-related business models within the Union and, beyond that, appropriate regulation of the creation and supply of cryptook and stable coins.

The MiCA Regulation would be directly applicable to all market participants within the European Union and would not have to be transposed into national law to take legal effect, as is the case with directives. For the purposes of the MiCA Regulation, the EU Commission also proposed a definition of the term cryptographic values. However, the definition differs considerably from the term which the German legislator had just included in the KWG at the beginning of the year.

According to MiCa, crypt values would be digital representations of values or rights that can be electronically transmitted and stored using distributed ledger technology or a similar technology. In addition to the term „crypto value“, MiCA would also provide a definition of the term „distributed ledger technology“ and, according to the current draft, create subcategories of crypto values. These subcategories would be value-referencing tokens, e-money tokens, utility tokens and other crypto-values. The MiCA draft also provides for definitions for the first three forms of appearance.

Differences between the definitions of cryptographic values of the KWG and the MiCA draft?

Even at first glance, the definitions differ considerably in length. While the MiCA definition makes use of further sub-definitions depending on the concrete design of the crypt value, the German solution tries to formulate a uniform definition for all forms of appearance. However, the approaches are also different in terms of content.

For example, the reference in the German definition to a missing issue by publicly legitimised bodies such as a central bank and furthermore to a potential use as a means of payment or investment vehicle is missing in the proposal of the MiCA regulation. The latter result rather from the concretising sub-definitions.

The European solution therefore appears superior to the German legal solution. It is much better suited to the special features and the variety of possible uses of distributed ledger technologies. In contrast, the German legislator will probably have to abandon its special path in cryptoregulation in the near future.

The investment company of hedge fund manager Anthony Scaramucci has filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for approval of a Bitcoin hedge fund. The minimum investment is said to be $ 50,000 and only accessible to accredited investors.

Like from a form from the SECon December 21st, the multi-billion hedge fund „SkyBridge Capital“ has filed an application for approval of a Bitcoin fund with the American SEC. „SkyBridge Bitcoin Fund LP“ and „SkyBridge Bitcoin Fund GP LLC“ are specified as the reference person as the issuer. The fund is intended to be classified as a hedge fund. Since Anthony Scaramucci’s company has kept silent about the investment volume, no conclusions can yet be drawn about the size of the fund. However, it is known that the minimum amount for investors should amount to 50,000 US dollars. Furthermore, only accredited investors can invest in the fund.

To the crypto compass magazine

The first reports of the approval of a Bitcoin fund came in mid-November. SkyBridge thus follows the lead wolf Grayscale. Just recently, the financial company Guggenheim invested in digital gold through the world’s largest Bitcoin fund, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. The Bitcoin Fund now holds Bitcoin worth over ten billion US dollars. BTC is by far the most important asset in Grayscale’s crypto portfolio, which recently posted a new record high of $ 13 billion in assets under management (AUM).

Bitcoin funds also in Germany

In Germany, a new venture capital fund is trying to financially support crypto companies. The early stage crypto VC of Greenfield One , based in Berlin, is launching its second fund with a target volume of 50 million euros in a first closing. The main focus of the second fund is on the blockchain networks and development teams of the mainly European teams. The first Greenfield One fund was launched in early 2019. Since then, the VC fund has invested in various early-stage startups.

Escala de cinza para usar anúncio “drop gold” para impulsionar a adoção de criptografia.

A campanha publicitária visa influenciar os investidores a lançar ouro para Bitcoin

O CEO da Grayscale, Barry Silbert, anuncia em um tweet que sua empresa trará de volta um anúncio Bitcoin que causou algumas polêmicas. A campanha publicitária é popularmente conhecida como “drop gold”.

A empresa decidiu trazer de volta este anúncio para aproveitar o impulso que o preço do Bitcoin ganhou recentemente. O preço do Bitcoin atualmente tem o potencial de chegar ao seu ponto mais alto.

De acordo com o CEO, o anúncio seria veiculado em todas as grandes redes dos Estados Unidos. Espera-se que a campanha publicitária seja capaz de impulsionar a adoção de criptas no país.

O anúncio basicamente pede aos investidores que escolham investimentos em Bitcoin em vez de investimentos em ouro. De acordo com a cópia do anúncio, a palavra está se tornando digital e, como tal, os investidores deveriam colocar seu dinheiro em moedas digitais como o Bitcoin .

A cópia do anúncio passou a declarar algumas características do Bitcoin. Segundo o anúncio, o Bitcoin é mais seguro, pode ser usado para fazer transações internacionais e tem utilidade.

Este anúncio foi exibido pela última vez quando o Bitcoin valia apenas $ 5.000. Desde então, o valor da criptomoeda triplicou e houve melhorias na adoção da criptografia.

Instituições que lideram a adoção de criptografia

Ao contrário de antes, diferentes instituições começaram a adotar as criptomoedas como meio de armazenar valor e riqueza.

A Microstrategy comprou recentemente mais de 2.000 BTC para continuar em seu avanço na adoção de criptografia. O CEO da empresa de tecnologia disse que a empresa não encerraria seus investimentos em Bitcoin tão cedo.

Outras empresas como a Square também adotaram a criptomoeda. 1% do ativo total da Square está em Bitcoin. A empresa também observou que a moeda digital é o futuro das transações financeiras no mundo.

A entrada do PayPal em campo foi saudada por muitos entusiastas da criptografia porque tem o potencial de levar a uma maior adoção da criptografia por particulares.
