🚀 Monolithic Blockchains Outperform In September
#MonolithicBlockchains #Solana #Sui #Aptos #Ethereum #Crypto #NFTs #Blockchain #VanEck #MarketTrends #DigitalAssets #SUI #SOL #APT
According to Cointelegraph, monolithic blockchains, which integrate different layers into a single architecture, showed strong performance in September, as highlighted in VanEck's latest Crypto Monthly Recap. The report noted significant price gains for Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), and Aptos (APT), with increases of 14%, 118%, and 23%, respectively.
Sui's impressive performance was driven by a 140% increase in daily active addresses during September, pushing its market capitalization above $5 billion. VanEck's researchers also pointed to Aptos' recent Raptr software upgrade as a key factor behind the network's 30% month-over-month growth in daily active addresses.
Monolithic blockchains, often referred to as 'Ethereum killers,' are noted for their higher throughput compared to modular blockchains due to their more efficient structures. Earlier in 2024, Pantera Capital described Solana as the MacOS of blockchains, emphasizing its vertically integrated protocol. This approach is similar to Apple's strategy of developing both software and hardware in-house.
The higher throughput and lower transaction costs of blockchains like Solana and Sui make them attractive for smaller payments, asset tokenization, and minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A recent report from Sygnum Bank highlighted Solana's potential as a payment network and its ability to challenge Ethereum's dominance.
VanEck's previous report indicated that newer layer-1 competitors are reducing fees and transaction times, which is eroding Ethereum's market share. Researchers noted that market speculation remains the primary use case for public blockchains, and the lower transaction costs of higher throughput layer-1 blockchains are encouraging users to migrate from Ethereum. This migration has contributed to Ethereum's poor price performance throughout much of 2024.
Ethereum's price dropped by 12% between Oct. 1 and Oct. 3, and the digital asset has been trading below its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) since August 2024.#MonolithicBlockchains #Solana #Sui #Aptos #Ethereum #Crypto #NFTs #Blockchain #VanEck #MarketTrends #DigitalAssets #SUI #SOL #APT
🚀 HBO Documentary May Reveal Satoshi Nakamoto's Identity
#HBO #SatoshiNakamoto #LenSassaman #Bitcoin #MoneyElectric #Cryptocurrency #Polymarket #Documentary #Cypherpunk #PrivacyTechnology
According to Cointelegraph, Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, currently lists American computer scientist Len Sassaman as the leading candidate to be revealed as the legendary “Satoshi Nakamoto” in an upcoming HBO documentary. The film, titled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” is directed by Cullen Hoback and is set to air on October 8.
While neither Hoback nor HBO have explicitly stated that the documentary will definitively disclose the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, social media posts and the film’s trailer suggest that a significant revelation is expected. This speculation has fueled activity on Polymarket, where a trading pool titled “Who will HBO doc identify as Satoshi?” has amassed a total volume of $389,738 as of October 4.
Among the top candidates in the Polymarket betting pool are well-known figures such as Hal Finney, Adam Back, Craig Wright, and Nick Szabo. However, Len Sassaman, a lesser-known suspect, has emerged as the frontrunner. Sassaman, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 31, was an American computer scientist known for his involvement in the Cypherpunk movement and his contributions to privacy-enhancing technologies.
A Medium post from 2023 discussing the theory that Sassaman could be Satoshi Nakamoto highlights his academic background and advocacy for open-source principles, which align with the ethos of Bitcoin. The rules of the Polymarket indicate that if Sassaman is identified by the HBO documentary as the primary person responsible for Bitcoin’s development, the market will resolve to “Yes.” If another person or group is identified, or if Sassaman is deemed equally responsible, the market will resolve to “No.”#HBO #SatoshiNakamoto #LenSassaman #Bitcoin #MoneyElectric #Cryptocurrency #Polymarket #Documentary #Cypherpunk #PrivacyTechnology

🚀 Speculation Surrounds Len Sassaman As Potential Bitcoin Inventor
#LenSassaman #Bitcoin #SatoshiNakamoto #Cryptography #Cypherpunks #Documentary #HBO #Privacy #Blockchain #FinancialCryptography #BitcoinBlockchain #Osogato #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, deceased computer scientist and privacy advocate Len Sassaman has unexpectedly become a topic of interest as bettors speculate on an upcoming HBO documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin's inventor.
Information about Leonard Harris Sassaman’s early life is limited. He attended a private school in Pennsylvania and was recognized as a cryptography prodigy. In his late teens, Sassaman moved to San Francisco, California, where he became involved with the cypherpunks, a group of computer privacy pioneers from the late 1980s. He later studied under blockchain inventor David Chaum.
Sassaman contributed to projects such as Pretty Good Privacy software and its update, GNU Privacy Guard. Alongside his wife, computer scientist Meredith Patterson, he founded the SaaS startup Osogato. At the time of his death, Sassaman was a doctoral student in electrical engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. He died by suicide on July 3, 2011, at the age of 31. A memorial to him was encoded into Block 138725 of the Bitcoin blockchain.
Sassaman and Patterson married in 2006 and remained together until his death. Patterson has stated that she does not believe her husband was Satoshi Nakamoto. However, there is circumstantial evidence suggesting Sassaman could be Nakamoto. He left behind numerous publications, conference presentations, and other academic activities, indicating his capability of inventing Bitcoin. Sassaman was a member of the International Financial Cryptography Association and frequently spoke on financial cryptography.
Linguistic analysis also suggests that Sassaman could be Bitcoin’s inventor, as Nakamoto went silent two months before Sassaman’s death. Additionally, the $64 billion in Bitcoin held by Nakamoto remains untouched.#LenSassaman #Bitcoin #SatoshiNakamoto #Cryptography #Cypherpunks #Documentary #HBO #Privacy #Blockchain #FinancialCryptography #BitcoinBlockchain #Osogato #BTC
🚀 IcomTech Founder Sentenced To 10 Years For Wire Fraud
#IcomTech #wirefraud #cryptocurrency #PonziScheme #DavidCarmona #investmentfraud #financialcrime #crypto #scam #criminaljustice
According to Cointelegraph, David Carmona, the founder of the cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme IcomTech, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Carmona was identified as the mastermind behind IcomTech, which targeted working-class individuals by promising them financial freedom in exchange for their investments. United States Attorney Damian Williams stated that Carmona misled investors by claiming their funds would be used for crypto trading and mining, with profits doubling every six months. However, these promises were false, and when the scheme collapsed, victims were left with nothing. Carmona's sentence includes a 121-month prison term and three years of supervised release.
The IcomTech Ponzi scheme defrauded victims of approximately $8.4 million between mid-2018 and the end of 2019. Carmona and other promoters traveled across the US and overseas, hosting extravagant expos to attract victims. They often arrived in expensive cars and wore luxurious clothing to create an illusion of financial success, convincing potential investors to join the scheme. However, many victims soon faced difficulties withdrawing their supposed profits, encountering excuses, delays, and hidden fees from the IcomTech team.
As complaints increased, IcomTech introduced a token called 'Icoms' to raise additional funds, falsely claiming it would be accepted by companies for payments. These tokens were essentially worthless, leading to further losses when IcomTech collapsed in 2019 and ceased making payments. Carmona pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy in December 2023. Other key figures in the scheme, including former IcomTech CEO Marco Ruiz Ochoa and promoters David Brend and Gustavo Rodriguez, have also been convicted and sentenced for their roles in the fraud.#IcomTech #wirefraud #cryptocurrency #PonziScheme #DavidCarmona #investmentfraud #financialcrime #crypto #scam #criminaljustice
