Visa to Implement Cryptocurrencies
The CEO of Visa, Al Kelly, indicated that there might be a future for digital currencies with the payment network. Kelly discussed how, at the moment, Bitcoin is not used as a payment form in a significant way and is like a "digital gold." He also mentioned that the company's "strategy here is to work with wallets and exchanges to enable users to purchase these currencies using their Visa credentials." This would lead to increased access to cryptocurrency for the average consumer. People would be able to more easily purchase and use cryptos. He continued by talking about the possibility of being able to "cash out onto our Visa credential to make a fiat purchase at any of the 70 million merchants where Visa is accepted globally," enabling payments using a coin like Bitcoin or Ethereum where they are not usually an option. It has been possible for some time to have a card that allows you to pay with Bitcoin, among other currencies. Companies have worked with providers like Mastercard to bring the service to crypto advocates. >>Source
Pump and Dump Groups are Back and are Bigger Than Ever
Between January 30 and February 1, something rather unusual happened with Ripple. It rose from about 28 cents to 72 cents, at its peak. What was the cause of this, you might ask? A poorly organized pump and dump. In the past, groups have orchestrated large buys of a specific coin to rapidly increase its price. People then sold the coin as the price increased and it proceeded to crash back down. The problem with this is that there has to be losers in order for there to be winners. The amount of of profit that some people make will be similar to the amount of money that other people lose. A Telegram group with over 100,000 members planned a pump of XRP. The group named itself "BUY & HOLD XRP FEB 1ST, 2021 @8:30AM EST." As you might expect, that isn't exactly what happened. People purchased the coin in the run up to February 1, instead of everyone buying it at the same time. In the hours before 08:30 AM EST, people began to sell. The coin's value almost halved in the space of a few hours. >>Source
