yes welcome back everybody to altcoin
[2]
daily my name's Austin the Bitcoin price
[5]
is ranging right now and we are ranging
[7]
hard and while we did a deep dive on
[10]
what to expect if you're a Bitcoin
[12]
holder in yesterday's video it is linked
[14]
down below watch this interview if you
[17]
have not already because in today's
[18]
video we are just talking altcoins so
[22]
like always check the timestamps down
[24]
below find the news that's best for you
[26]
and let's jump in starting with our
[28]
first piece of news involving algorand
[31]
algorand has just rented out a Times
[33]
Square billboard to tout their green
[36]
credentials ahead of Earth day but this
[38]
ad buy comes with a dark twist so if you
[41]
hold algo token a lot of you are excited
[44]
about this I guess this is a rendering
[46]
of Al Grant's Times Square activation
[49]
this is what the ad is intended to look
[51]
like but in their viral attempt to send
[54]
a message I guess on Thursday April 21st
[57]
which I guess is Earth Day they will
[59]
darken Times Square in New York to
[61]
exhibit algorand's dedication to
[63]
sustainability so they will darken Times
[66]
Square to show that Al Grant cares about
[68]
the Earth saving energy the Takeover
[71]
will begin with a billboard showing an
[74]
environmentalists called action so we'll
[76]
begin with their ad before going dark
[78]
for an hour starting at 8 pm eastern
[80]
time the ad spending is pegged to Earth
[83]
Day in the U.S in a direct quote from Al
[86]
Gran Foundation CEO on why they're doing
[89]
this we wanted to make a bold statement
[91]
on a large platform to educate the
[94]
general public that advances in
[96]
blockchain technology like those
[98]
employed at algrand have made it more
[100]
green and more sustainable than the
[103]
first generation proof of work
[104]
blockchains and definitely more green
[106]
than traditional Banking and Financial
[109]
rails very interesting I could see
[112]
something like this definitely being
[114]
picked up by all the mainstream media
[116]
outlets and potentially going viral and
[119]
just to give you the stats Times Square
[121]
going dark for one hour saves 6500
[125]
kilowatt hours of electricity according
[127]
to algrand and their CEO said that that
[130]
figure is equivalent to 350 million
[133]
transactions on the L Grand blockchain
[135]
if you hold Al Grant give me your
[138]
thoughts on this but let's keep moving
[141]
next piece of major news for ethereum
[144]
nfts that is sort of coming with some
[147]
controversy but Moon birds nfts fly on
[150]
their debut clocking in over 200 million
[153]
dollars in sales and the project is the
[156]
first tied to Kevin Rose's proof
[158]
Collective a private community of nft
[161]
collectors whose membership pass cost at
[164]
least 99 ethereum so this private
[167]
Collective sort of got their first pick
[169]
got first access to the mint I believe
[172]
but let's just go over the details and
[174]
unpack This Together the collection of
[177]
10 000 pfps profile pic ask nfts has
[181]
racked up 69 000 ethereum worth hundreds
[184]
of millions of dollars in total sales
[185]
boasting a floor price right now of 21.3
[189]
eth roughly 64 000 each for each of
[193]
these nfts there's a minimum of a sixty
[196]
four thousand dollar floor price at
[199]
least at the time of recording the debut
[202]
put Moon Birds on top of Open Seas
[204]
volume leaderboard not just for the week
[207]
but for the last 30 days ahead of azuki
[210]
at around 50 000 ethereum volume and
[213]
ahead of board Abe Yacht Club around
[215]
thirty five thousand ethereum volume so
[218]
it's beating out the blue chips at least
[220]
for its first month anyway final
[222]
thoughts the controversy for this mint
[225]
was this the Project's mint came with
[228]
some controversy from complaints of a
[230]
hefty 2.5 very mint price to also raffle
[235]
manipulation and concerns of Rarity
[237]
sniping which is projects leaders buying
[240]
up rare editions using Insider knowledge
[242]
by its developers anyway that is what's
[245]
going on in nft land as I get more info
[248]
I will keep you updated
[250]
and next piece of quick news for Terra
[252]
Luna Terra Luna stablecoin UST becomes
[256]
crypto's third largest so the dollar
[258]
pegged UST has overtaken binance USD to
[262]
become the crypto Market's third largest
[264]
stable coin by market capitalization a
[267]
big day if you hold Terra Luna as their
[270]
stable coin is a part of the ecosystem
[272]
now will this trend continue is this
[275]
just hype at the moment time will tell
[277]
time will tell but just to paint a
[280]
picture on what's the difference with
[281]
these stable coins
[283]
busd for example is a Fiat backed
[286]
stablecoin meaning the stable coins
[288]
custodian in this case paxos for busd
[290]
holds the equivalent amount of busd
[294]
circulating in cash cash equivalents or
[296]
other traditional assets so the backing
[298]
is held by a centralized custodian very
[301]
similar for usdc and usdt but with Terra
[305]
stablecoin however is built much
[307]
differently instead of a centralized
[309]
entity holding traditional assets be it
[312]
cash or bonds this stable coin is
[314]
designed to keep its Peg to the
[316]
Greenback the dollar via a mint and burn
[318]
mechanism as well as Savvy market
[321]
arbitragers and UST is what's known as
[324]
an algorithmic stablecoin here's how it
[327]
works to create one UST users must first
[330]
buy and then destroy one dollar of Luna
[333]
terra's governance and sticking token
[335]
the inverse is also true each time you
[337]
swap one dollar of Luna for USD You Must
[340]
Destroy one UST and thus it's supposed
[344]
to keep its Peg to one dollar anyway at
[347]
the moment people are believing Terra
[349]
Luna stablecoin is climbing the ranks
[352]
and next up in 60 seconds or less I do
[356]

next piece of news on ethereum as well
[420]
as the ethereum foundation the ethereum
[423]
foundation now reports to hold nearly
[425]
0.3 percent of all eth in existence so
[429]
for the first time ever they put out an
[431]
annual report just going over some of
[433]
the stats the ethereum foundation
[435]
treasury has 1.3 billion dollars in
[439]
ethereum over 300 million dollars in
[442]
non-crypto Investments and another 11
[444]
million dollars in other
[446]
cryptocurrencies according to a 2021
[449]
financial report released today so
[451]
obviously we knew they had a lot of
[453]
money the question on everybody's mind
[455]
was always well how much ethereum do
[458]
they actually own because they were
[460]
there from the beginning they you know
[461]
they did a pre-sale do they hold a lot
[463]
of the supply
[465]
well as of March 31 2022 again this is
[468]
just according to them the foundation's
[471]
ethereum Holdings Mount nearly 0.3
[473]
percent of the entire eat Supply which
[475]
honestly not that much
[477]
so take this as you will this small
[480]
number is bullish to me but again I I
[483]
wish we had a third party to come and do
[485]
their own report and verify this
[487]
next piece of privacy coin news for
[490]
altcoin Monero the Monero Community
[493]
reaches consensus for their July hard
[496]
Fork so this is going to be an upgrade
[498]
for the coin here's what this upgrade
[500]
means
[501]
the popular privacy coins hard Fork will
[504]
include increasing the Chain's ring size
[507]
from 11 to 16. adding view tags to
[510]
outputs to reduce wallet scanning time
[512]
as well as introducing bulletproofs and
[515]
implementing fee changes so a lot of
[518]
different big words let's break this
[520]
down together number one first and
[522]
foremost is the increase in ring size
[525]
raising the number of ring signatures is
[528]
meant to ensure that transactions have a
[530]
larger anonymity set making it harder to
[533]
reverse engineer the source of the
[534]
transaction so this should make it more
[536]
private as for view tags one developer
[540]
pointed out that view tags could reduce
[542]
Network scanning Times by up to 40
[544]
percent so making it more efficient
[547]
in deriving the output public key for
[550]
its Anonymous transactions so more
[552]
efficiency and finally the upgrade of
[555]
bulletproofs a zero knowledge proving
[557]
system will be used for range proofs in
[561]
Monero the feature will result in Faster
[563]
encryption and verification on the
[565]
blockchain so a little bit more private
[567]
a little bit more efficient the Monero
[570]
Community is Happy anyway that is the
[573]
