What is a bitcoin and how does it work?

Bitcoin is a digital asset that was introduced to the world in 2009 which leverages a peer-to-peer network to facilitate the transfer of value without the intermediation of banks or central authority. Where do they come from? Bitcoins are born through the mining and validation of transactions on the blockchain, which is a ledger to which everyone in the world has access and we can see even the first transaction that has been made with this currency. The people who are in charge of this procedure are known in the world as miners. When miners successfully verify a set of transactions, they are awarded several bitcoins, currently, they get 12.5 bitcoins for each completed transaction but this number decreases with each halving, which usually occurs every 4 years. The miners follow a set of cryptographic rules that keep the network stable, safe and secure. Does it has a limit? Currently, there are approximately 17 million bitcoins mined of which there is a maximum number which is 21 million. But not to worry as this number will not be achieved until around the year 2140, so we will have bitcoin for quite a while. How can I get bitcoin? Outside of mining, there are several ways in which we can get bitcoins. By exchanging with other people or through various exchange platforms such as Binance. Our assets will want to be stored in a wallet, in the case of the exchange platforms they are stored in the wallets that they give you but there are also thousands of wallets that you can use, metamask is one of the most popular. What are its uses? Currently, bitcoins can be used as a payment method for goods and services, but the commercial use of bitcoin is still growing. But we can also use it for trading, selling it, or buying it in exchange for fiat money like the US dollar. Bitcoin is the most liquid cryptocurrency and we expect it to become more and more common in society, adopted in the future as a currency like a dollar or a euro.

What is a cryptocurrency and how does it work?

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency, a currency that does not exist in any physical form and is based on bits. The idea of this type of system came to the world thanks to the user Satoshi Nakamoto, who published an article in which he explained how this currency works, which sought to completely disassociate itself from any banking and governmental institution, thus maintaining the privacy and not being affected by inflation. A few months after publishing the article, Satoshi Nakamoto provided the necessary software to carry out these transactions and disappeared without a trace to this day the identity of this user remains unknown. The first currency of this type and the one we are talking about is Bitcoin. The bitcoin system works with Peer to Peer (P2P). In which there is a global and public record of all transactions that have been made in the history of the currency known as the blockchain, thus tracing in detail the entire journey that has been made from the first user account that had it until the last, and despite this record being public does not affect privacy because all accounts are anonymous and do not know whom it belongs to The Blockchain is a sequence of chained data, each block has a limited number of transactions that are linked to the previous block and so on until the first block that existed the advantage it has is that it is distributed globally, which makes it a system that apart from being public is safe because it is impossible to modify the records of the past and while there are users on the network this record will never disappear. Any person can create a block which is known as miners, these miners register approximately between 2000 and 2200 transactions in a block, which once finished is sent to the registry, where other miners review it and if the majority indicates that it is correct, the block remains in the registry and the miner receives a reward. In this way, security is maintained in the registry. The first currency of this type was the Bitcoin, but today there are many other currencies of this type that have different values, another example of this type of currency that is widely used is the Etherium which works with the same type of system as the bitcoin but with financial contracts that serve for example to buy a house or ask for a loan, These contracts are known as smart contracts, and the Etherium works exclusively to pay these contracts. Other currencies on the market are: ·         Tether ·         Binance coin ·         Cardano ·         USD coin ·         XRP ·         Dogecoin Just to mention a few. The truth is that entering this world is nothing complicated since you can buy cryptocurrencies directly from someone, or use one of the different exchange platforms that exist in the world such as Binance or coinbase with which you get a virtual wallet, and there you have your new coins, it is already your job to learn more about what kind of exchanges or transactions you can do to make this money grow and turn it into something real from which to profit. Apart from the normal transaction already talked about above where one person buys from another and registers on the blockchain, today there are already several companies that accept bitcoin as a form of payment for their services, some examples are: – Real estate – Clothing ·         Pizza Hut – Art – Web services – Video games Today we can see that cryptocurrencies have been included in the world in different ways, they have not been in existence as long as money and the classic exchange that human being has had since the beginning of time, but it has been a currency that has begun to take its place in the world, its popularity and value is something that has not stopped advancing. There are more and more companies that understand its value and security in the exchange of goods and services, so betting on this type of currency can be a good investment wherever you look.

How do Cryptocurrency Exchanges work?

In the early days, the only way to get hold of cryptocurrencies was to mine them or get them from someone else who was willing to sell them directly. But people started to look for a simpler and safer alternative to get cryptocurrencies, so the first Exchanges started to appear. A cryptocurrency exchange or DCE (short for digital currency exchange) is a platform that allows exchanging one cryptocurrency for another, trading and selling coins, and exchanging FIAT for cryptocurrencies. Some are more for traders and others for quick cryptocurrency exchanges between users. Cryptocurrency exchanges are in some ways similar to regular stock exchanges, the difference is the way traders make profits. On a stock exchange, traders buy and sell assets to profit from their variable rates, whereas on cryptocurrency exchanges, traders use cryptocurrencies to profit from the highly volatile exchange rates. The main difference is that on the stock exchange there are business hours, while cryptocurrency exchanges remain active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Cryptocurrency exchanges (especially centralized exchanges) need new users to complete a registration process before they manage to start trading, so we can find more security when making trades within this platform than outside of it. Each exchange calculates the cost in the functionality of its trading volume, as well as the supply and demand of its users. Exchanges earn from different revenue streams, the 4 most recognized are commissions, listing fees, market building, and fundraising for IEO, STO, and ICO.

Animals in the Crypto world

In the crypto community, you can be categorized as a type of animal depending on the amount you have of a cryptocurrency in your wallet. Being the whale for those who have the largest amounts, or on the contrary a small shrimp if you have less than 0.5. But in between, there are more animals. Each one is used to mark trends or movements in the prices of Bitcoins and altcoins. Below go some of the most common ones: Whales: These are the wallets with the largest number of cryptocurrencies, these users can move significant sums of money in cryptos and cause variations in the market. They are known as Whales because of the representation that we are all investors in a big ocean, where there are fish (all those who have cryptos) and whales (big investors). Usually, these have a minimum of 1000 BTC. Bears: We will associate this animal with the bear market, which usually hibernates when it is cold and food is scarce. In cryptocurrencies, this winter is when prices are low, an example is a current market in which we had a big fall. Normally we associate the price drop of an asset with the action of bears on the market, which many times act influenced by external events. Bulls: When the fear of investing in the cryptocurrency market subsides and people start investing again, that’s when the bulls arrive. Since the Bull figure is associated with the bull market because of the upward angle its body has with its head raised above its neck. Bulls can tangibly encourage the prices of any asset. In the crypto world, we are all an animal but it is up to each person to choose which of these we want to be based on our investor profile or the opportunities we can take. But the important thing is that we all start as shrimp so there is no need to be afraid to take that first big step into this world. At The Blue Manakin, we want to help you on your journey in the world of cryptocurrencies and NFTs so don’t forget to check out our blog posts where we talk about different topics about this world and the latest trends.

bagholder

What does it mean BagHolder?

Those investors who have been doing hodl for a long time are known as Bagholders. Many times bagholders reach this level because they bought the coin when its price was high, thus keeping tokens that are worth little or nothing while hoping that it will go up again. Cryptocurrencies being a very volatile market, it happens that there may be large price fluctuations, just as every day new investors arrive eager to generate income at the moment. Even a percentage of Bagholders are people who have forgotten about their investments and have left them where they are. Bag holding is not something negative as it belongs to a term in the crypto world that refers to not selling your coins no matter how bad the market is because there is always the probability that it will go up again, this term is the Holding. We at The Blue Manakin always recommend that before making an investment in the cryptocurrency market we have to do our market analysis and never invest an amount that we cannot afford to lose. The cryptocurrency market has many changes so sometimes future investments are better than short-term ones, but it is up to us to take that risk.

What is the Bitcoin Programmed Scarcity?

One of the most curious features of Bitcoin is that the highest number of coins it can produce is predetermined since its creation at 21 million Bitcoin. This may be because the creator of Bitcoin (under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto) determined that he wanted to generate a deflationary currency, like gold. If something is naturally limited it is more likely to have a cost. If Bitcoin could be produced indefinitely and out of control, it would have no cost (or could be quite temporary). Limiting their number increases the possibility that this asset, being limited, could eventually have a larger value. Now, what will happen once the 21 million Bitcoin limit is reached? Currently, about 16 million Bitcoin has already been mined, which is 75% of the final cost. It is believed that by 2032, 99% of the Bitcoin will have been mined. Bitcoin’s Halving is the process where every 4 years the reward that miners of the currency receive, decreases and it is less profit that they get in the long run this will make the costs of mining Bitcoin more expensive and there is a strong possibility that the number of miners that exist will decrease. With this in mind, as the production rate is going to be lower it is expected that this number will not be achieved until 2140 once the last Bitcoin is mined. Finally one of the reasons why Bitcoin has both values is because of its scarcity. This is why Bitcoin is more like a cost pooling asset (like gold) than a means of payment like a currency.

P2P

What is the P2P system?

A peer-to-peer network is a different way of networking because it does not use a server station, but rather each “server” computer is the people who contribute to this system. A peer-to-peer network, peer-to-peer network, peer-to-peer network or peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a network of computers in which all or some aspects operate without fixed clients or servers, but rather a series of nodes that behave as equal to each other Moreover, they act simultaneously as clients and servers concerning the other nodes in the network. P2P networks allow the direct exchange of information, in any format, between interconnected computers. To participate in this peer-to-peer network, the user has to connect to the network through the software on his computer, which gives him the possibility of participating as a client or as a server; it is a decentralized model because, as already mentioned, there is no central server. Many applications such as Spotify or Napster started this way as a peer-to-peer network, but because offering music or movie services through decentralized servers is considered piracy, the model was changed. It was also due to Spotify’s growth that they decided to create a central server to offer the service. One of the advantages offered by this system is that each user can manage their equipment, without the need for technical knowledge, because everything depends only on the software and the number of users who are using it to have a greater reach. Although everything seems to be good it also has some disadvantages and the main one is that, although you do not have to have technical knowledge about how it works, you have to be very careful because if you do not have an antivirus system on your computer you can introduce the virus to the peer to peer network and have access to the information of all users who are within the network. Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology use a P2P network so we at The Blue Manakin care to explain how this system works as it is something you will come across many times while browsing the crypto world.

blockchain for babies

Blockchain for babies

Chris Ferrie, a faculty member at the University of Sydney’s 2019 Quantum Software Centre, has written a book to explain from an early age to an infant how blockchain works. Titled Blockchain for Babies, the curious idea became a reality. The book has 12 pages and can be found in hardcover and paperback format. The book uses fairly simple language to be able to describe the necessary details a little person needs to taste about blockchain technology. Ferrie said: “The intention is not for the child to come out of the book and run an ICO.” But this book comes to be part of several books which are made to explain complex topics to young children that likewise have been written by Ferrie, within these books we can find: Quantum Physics for Babies,  General Relativity for Babies,  Rocket Science for Babies y  Newtonian Physics for Babies. Ben Munster, the writer of Decrypt, described his vision of the book, from the position of an adult rather than a newborn. Munster said: “It starts with the image of a ball, which I get. then it says the ball can be bought for a coin, which I also get. then it says the coin is now “invisible,” which I understand to mean it’s on the blockchain, but I only understand it because I write about this stuff every day, unlike most babies. then it explains how the blocks of transactions fit together like jigsaw puzzles, with fraudulent transactions that can’t fit together, which is a nice idea.” The reality is that while this book is for “babies”, it is useful for people who are not in this world to understand how blockchain technology works in a way that is too simple you could apply the saying “I’ll explain it to you with apples” only in this case it is with puzzles. While this can be taken as a joke, any kind of education for this world is welcome and if a book that explains it simply can be the first step for people who want to get into this space, it is quite good for us.

One of the best ways is by voice, and what better than the voices of people who know about it, such as influencers specializing in crypto.

Now we will share some ways in which we can find and hire influencers for our crypto projects: Follow them on their channels: Contact their agent: Many times crypto influencers and in general influencers have agents that support them to see all their collaborations, so they may be the only way to reach them.

How to promote Crypto

Today there are thousands and thousands of cryptocurrencies, so the real differentiator that can exist from one project to another is undoubtedly apart from what it is focused on or the reason why the currency has been created, is its marketing campaign. As we have mentioned in other entries of this blog, we must have marketing specialists who know well the medium of cryptocurrencies in the most popular social networks Sometimes tactics change from project to project, and especially if we are talking about an NFT collection or even an ICO, now we will share some general ways in which we can promote our cryptocurrency on social networks that should be used. The networks and platforms for cryptocurrency promotion are: Twitter:   Twitter will be one of the main means by which you will share everything relevant to your project, here you can share important data and tell what the project is about. Unlike NFTs, the language we should use is a little more serious, since investments in cryptocurrencies are so. For cryptocurrencies, promoters can still be used, but if you have to be more careful since there are usually fewer and since we cannot find so many, we have to select the best ones. Verifying that their engagement is good and not very different from the numbers of followers they have, normally with them you can handle airdrops, Rt, QT, and different tracking dynamics. Twitter ads also work to attract more people, but it is better to first share them through promoters. Instagram: Instagram is still the space where we can have a more personal twist on the project, here we can focus on sharing the mission for which the coin exists through different publications. In the stories, we can share the same as on Twitter different data and statistics about the project and its mission. We can also contact promoters to upload stories and publications, promoters should also verify if they have the turn of cryptocurrencies and not NFT. Newsletter: Unlike with NFTs, with cryptocurrencies, we can manage an email subscription, which we will use mainly to send visual updates on how the project is going. Also, this newsletter can be used as a form of communication to get collaborations with more serious companies and people whom we will see as investors, in the same way, you can share a fairly illustrative newsletter that talks about the project in general and invite you to contact us to talk more in-depth. Linkedin: This social network will help us to promote our project more seriously, also making publications talking about the project, here sharing a little more information as a way of mini-blog. The main thing is to seek to form relationships with people and generate networks of opportunity. Telegram: Cryptocurrency groups on telegram are more common than those of NFT since while they use discord as their main means of communication, with cryptocurrencies it is better to have a direct approach with the people who are buying and investing in our asset, so a telegram group with your loyal investors comes in handy. This is where people will first find out about the latest status of your project and the publications we will make on the different social networks. At The Blue Manakin, we have the tools to support you to make an effective promotion plan for your cryptocurrency project, apart from the fact that we already have a base of influencers and specific promoters of projects with cryptocurrencies, quote us.

Crypto influencer marketing agency, how does it work? Blue Manakin

Having our own NFT project, one of the most important things we have to do is to find ways to promote it, as we have discussed in other posts of this blog, can be done in many ways but one of them is through influencers and promoters dedicated to the crypto world. Sometimes finding influencers that work can be a complicated task, since it is not only to check how many people follow them but we also have to keep an eye on how their interactions are going in the last month to make a good diagnosis of whether what they are asking for is worth it. Another complication when looking for influencers is that they answer us, sometimes being a project that is starting we can take time to contact influencers. That is why one of the best options we can have is to look for an agency that already manages several reliable influencers, many times marketing agencies already have ready collaborations. So how does it work and what are the advantages of a crypto influencer and marketing agency? There is no need to be searching: As long as you have an agency dedicated to your marketing, ask them if they don’t have a list of influencers. Statistics: The catalog or list of influencers should have all the updated data and statistics of all the influencers they have, so you won’t have to get lost in all the numbers of an influencer to check how their interactions are going Collaborations: With multiple influencers being part of the same agency, it’s easier to have collaborations with them in different ways. Price: The good thing about having an agency is that from the beginning you make a budget with them that can include some influencers, this is good since you don’t have to have one budget for marketing and another for hiring influencers. Here at The Blue Manakin, we have all kinds of influencers and promoters with whom we have worked and with whom we maintain good working assignments, contact us to ask for your budget for your project.

Crypto Marketing Agency: How to choose the best one?

Moving through social networks to promote our projects can be complicated if we do not know how to do it and much more complicated in a new world such as crypto, which is gaining more and more popular so it is important to start positioning ourselves. That is why it never hurts to allocate a little of our budget to a marketing agency, especially one focused on cryptocurrencies and NFT projects, so we can have a greater reach and that investment will be recovered. But how can I choose the best one out there? Here are a few tips: Knowledge and experience. Take a look at the track record the company has had, normally a good marketing company will have on their website the projects they are working with and have worked with. So you can review how those projects have fared, how their social media has been handled, and if the company has managed to make sold-outs. Compliance When talking about the crypto and NFT world, marketing changes. We may think that the tactics for a normal company may work, but the reality is that everything is handled differently. A crypto marketing company notices this difference and will take advantage of it to deliver the work plans on time, always complying with the rules of the crypto world Connection with the crypto community and NFT Hand in hand with experience, the more an agency has been in this world, the more ties they generate. In the end, all projects in this field seek to create a decentralized society, so support between projects is essential. When reviewing the projects with which the agency you are looking for works, check if they have had collaborations with other people and projects in the same field. Relational commitment In this world things are not handled as a simple you hire me and I’ll do what I have to do, the agency you hire must have a commitment that goes beyond just delivering. The pride of generating a sold-out and the assignment with the founders of the project is important, we are looking for the same objective, so the project must be worked as if it belonged to the agency. Check how the agency is talked about with its past projects and in this way you can realize this commitment. Budget Sometimes we think that an agency can be expensive, but being such a volatile market sometimes it is necessary to make adjustments. Look for the agency that best suits your price. But it is important to see both are worth giving a little more knowing that in the end, you will get back even more. An agency that is truly interested in moving forward with a project that it sees as a future will give you more than one good budget option. Professionalism and credibility Before spending your money, check the networks and the website of the company you are going to hire, do thorough research, and review previous projects. But verify that everything that is proposed to you is real. Also talking about your project, having a marketing company helps to generate more trust with your target audience because they will notice that there is a real interest in the project. The crypto and NFT world is a world in constant change, having a marketing company will help us to survive this. In The blue manakin, we have all the above shown, quote with us, and let us show you that we are worth it, because we are not only part of your project, but we will also work as our own, always looking for your good.

bitcoin pizza day

Fun facts in the crypto world: “Bitcoin Pizza Day”

If you are a crypto enthusiast you probably taste that every May 22 is celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day. This is the day on which Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Jacksonville, Florida who, considering the historical maximum to which the currency has reached, spent 3.9 billion dollars in bitcoin to buy pizzas. Well over 10 years ago, Hanyecz posted on the Bitcointalk forum that he would pay 10,000 bitcoins for two large pizzas. The man ordered his 2 pizzas from Papa John’s, as promised, and paid with 10,000 bitcoins which at the time cost him about $41. However, the clever programmer is proud to have played a fundamental role in the construction of the universal phenomenon that bitcoin has become over the years. This is one of the first Bitcoin transactions, the man said that his primary goal that night was not so much to buy a pizza as to prove that goods and services could be exchanged for BTC, as with classic fiat money, and to contribute to the adoption of the cryptocurrency, adding that: 9 months after the purchase, Bitcoin achieved parity with the US dollar, making both pizzas worth $10,000 and in 2015, the fifth anniversary of the Bitcoin Pizza Day, both pizzas were valued at $2.4 million. Despite the astronomical increase in his pizzas, and in the cost of Bitcoin, Hanyecz seems unrepentant.

Titkok influencer Khaby lame becomes Binance’s brand ambassador

Binance adds a new signing by hiring influencer Khaby Lame, the Italian-Senegalese content creator who achieved fame for his viral videos on TikTok about life hacks. Khaby is looking to expand Web 3.0 education so he has become a global brand ambassador. The “Khaby gesture” is his signature as he became a sensation on TikTok where Khaby would critique life-hacks videos in situations that looked complicated but really weren’t, but the cool thing was that he did it without saying a word which led him to be the most followed creator on TikTok, with over 144 million followers on the platform and 78 million followers on Instagram. With the influence of Khabane “Kaby” Lame, Binance will use their new collaboration to help clear up some of the misconceptions about Web3 and work on exclusive NFT collections, further enriching the fan experience. “I consider my fans my family and am always looking for new challenges and interesting content to share with them,” said Khaby Lame. “I’ve been curious about Web3 for a while now and have embraced this opportunity to partner with a leader like Binance because it aligns perfectly with what I do: making complex things easier and more fun for everyone.” As we discussed with Binance’s signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, the exchange is leveraging public figures to bring the crypto world to people who had always wanted to take the plunge but were afraid to do so, and seeing more and more well-known people getting into this place is making people lose that fear. We hope to see more collaborations like this in the future.

crypto Whale

Bitcoin Whales who are they?

In the world of cryptocurrencies, various scales have become popular, in which most use different animals to pigeonhole the many investor profiles. The largest investors in digital currencies are known as “whales” It is customary to call such players with a minimum of 1,000 BTC. Several of them are known, such as Pantera Capital or Coin Capital Partners, even if other influential addresses are not known. It is complicated to know to whom the addresses belong or whom the entities hold the largest portions of Bitcoin. However, reports provided by analysts and professionals allow speculation as to who might qualify for this set of giant fish. So a whale is an actor that trades vastly more money than the average investor so they possess the power to manipulate it up or down. As an example, when whales begin to hold their bitcoins for extended periods, it indicates a good future for the cryptocurrency and there is speculation of a rise in its cost. The opposite may also happen. Once whales massively sell an asset, other smaller investors tend to continue the trend, and consequently, it can cause a drop in the cost of the currency. Not only can monumental organizations be known as whales, but some have speculated that there are individual investors, popularly known in the crypto world. One example is Satoshi Nakamoto, who is the first to mine and hold this asset and is believed to have around 1 million bitcoins. Other known investors who could receive the title of whales are the Winklevoss twins, who in 2013 mentioned having 1% of all Bitcoin and who could currently collect more than that. The whales as a group have not diminished, but they have increased, so they will continue to accumulate large amounts of bitcoin and act as holders for a great period more. Other denominations to know are as follows: Shrimp: less than 1 BTC Crab: between 1 and 10 Octopus: 10-50 Fish: 50-100 Dolphin: 100-500 Shark: 500-1,000 Whale 1,000-5,000 Humpback whale: more than 5,000 bitcoins Many times while navigating this immense world, we may come across terminology that we don’t know or fail to understand so here at The Blue Manakin we will do our best to help you understand this vocabulary in the crypto world.

ICO

What is an ICO (Initial Coin Offering)?

An ICO is the initial offering of a coin and has to do with the financing of a project that aims at the birth of a new cryptocurrency. An Initial Coin Offering is a fairly popular funding process in the crypto world whereby the developers of a project offer an early token sale to the public to raise funds and develop the token project. If we contribute more money to the ICO, more tokens will be given to us. Early investors or people who buy in the ICO phase because they believe in the project or simply because when the project manages to develop with the funds collected, the coin will be in high demand and this will positively impact the price of the asset. What are ICO sales like? Sales can be open to the public so that anyone can invest with any amount of money they wish for They can also be reserved for private sales with investment funds and other major investors in the market. The procedure is a free choice for developers. It is always important to keep in mind that the idea is that you are not selling an investment asset, but you are pre-selling an asset that can be used within a platform. Advantages of ICOs: The authors of the new currency do not have to achieve financing from banks or investors. For individual investor users, it serves to finance highly innovative companies directly. In the end, we can say that ICOs are a new way to start a startup, for the moment it is something that applies mainly to the world of cryptocurrency, but there is the possibility of financing projects outside this world because of its ease and disassociation from third parties such as banks or investment funds. On the other hand, people who want to invest in an idea they like can do it without any problem of being rejected.
