Bitcoin market cap

The market value of all Bitcoin in circulation

Market Capitalization = (Price of 1.0 BTC) x (Total bitcoins in circulation)

Similar to the way the Market Capitalization of a company reflects the perceived worth of its business, the Market Capitalization of bitcoin reflects the perceived worth of Bitcoin as a value network. It's also an important metric for liquidity and utility of the network (for example, it would be difficult to perform billion dollar transactions at a Market Capitalization of $20 billion).

Fiat currencies do not have fixed and known supplies, allowing estimation as the only tool for Market Capitalization discovery. Gold has a Market Capitalization of approximately $7 trillion dollars.

Question on a link

In the search for Anaïs Nin, one of the first few links shows a picture of a man. Why? Since Nin is a woman, I can’t figure out why. Can you show some reason for this? Who is he? If you click on the picture a group of pictures of Nin and no mention of that man. Is it an error?

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.
No matter what I search for or website thru the Yahoo Search App it says the following after I searched for
www.att.com.

I tried to search for things like www.homedepot.com. The same thing happened. It would say WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE. The only thing that changed were all the upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
Then it would again say

This is the same thing that happened when Samsung and At&t tried to do any kind of searches thru the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo needs to fix the problem with their app.

Currency Converter

The currency conversion tool and the currency controls for the ranking table on BNC's Coins page convert between fiat and cryptocurrencies on the basis of each coin's BPI. The currency conversion tool for Market pages functions in the context of each individual coin market and so uses the MWA for the coin instead of its BPI. Fiat exchange rates are obtained from OpenExchange, an internationally recognised source. The data obtained is the USD conversion rate for all traded fiat currencies thus providing the basis to convert to any cryptocurrency to any fiat.

Rethinking Bitcoin's $10 Billion Market Cap

Amid increasing hype about blockchains and distributed ledgers, the value of global cryptocurrency markets has risen rapidly so far in 2016.

As of mid-June, the value of all blockchain-based currencies in circulation was $14.37bn, and the price of bitcoin was, as it has been historically, a leading driver of this growth. At June's highs of $700, the price of bitcoin had risen almost $300 since the end of May.

As the value of bitcoin continues to surge, many have looked at bitcoin's market capitalization as an indication of bitcoin's value. With a total value of all bitcoins in existence at $10bn, the bitcoin market is currently more valuable than one of the largest social media companies in the world, Twitter.

Some have argued, however, that it's unclear exactly where exactly the bitcoin market cap stands now, asserting it's impossible to determine with any sense of accuracy the value of all usable or spendable bitcoins.

Due to factors – including the notion of "zombie" bitcoins and the number of bitcoins stored by long-term, buy-and-hold investors – these market observers believe it's difficult to make summary statements about the vitality of the market or its current trajectory.

While this may be a minor thing, this difficulty in profiling the size and character of the bitcoin market is telling of the challenges the digital currency has in defining itself to the broader public. In addition, it points to pitfalls bitcoin will likely have to clear in its near-future.

More importantly, the discussion of how to capitalize a finite, virtual currency speaks to the debate of what the future of digital commerce may look like.

Defining capitalization

To understand the significance of a capitalization to a market, one must understand what a market capitalization is and how it is calculated.

Market capitalization is defined traditionally as the price per share for the commodity at the time of the capitalization, multiplied by the current number of outstanding shares in the market. For most publicly-traded companies and securities, the capitalization is an simple way to ascertain the health of the market in comparison to where it was previously and comparative to other securities being traded.

The problem with the bitcoin market, however, lies in the definition of "outstanding shares."

Most analysts use the traditional definition of "number of tradeable units that were active in the last two weeks" to determine market cap. While this is a perfectly acceptable for most securities, this definition has two unavoidable holes when it comes to bitcoins.

First, if bitcoins are a digital currency, the outstanding shares definition fails to adequately account for dormant coins.

In 2014, NVIDIA engineer John Ratcliff theorized that approximately 30% of the current bitcoin supply is made up of "zombie bitcoins" that have been inactive for more than a year. This number includes bitcoins connected to inaccessible wallets, government-seized bitcoins, "burned" bitcoins and bitcoins abandoned during the early days of bitcoins – including Nakamoto's mythical stash of over a million bitcoins.

Due to bitcoin's security and lack of centralized authority, any attempt to access these lost coins – short of brute-forcing their wallets' passwords – is impossible. As such, these coins exist, but they are effectively unusable by anyone except those in possession of the related private keys.

These bitcoins, combined with those that are intentionally dormant – as either commercial reserves or as personal savings – account for coins that were used in good faith, but are currently not "active" in the market.

Today, intentionally or unintentionally dormant coins are not reflected in most calculations of the bitcoin market cap.

Second, if bitcoins are a commodity, then the bitcoin market capitalization – as it is calculated today – is a reflection of trade volume of newly mined and short-term traded coins, and not long-term investments. As previously argued, this would exclude intentional dormancy, making the bitcoin market cap a reflection of the current fluidity of the market and not its overall worth.

Still, Stephen Holmes, CTO of the Digital Banking Lab at IT consulting firm VirtusaPolaris, argues that using the market capitalization to estimate the bitcoin market's worth is missing the point.

"Bitcoin is a store of wealth. The advantage is that it is a finite currency so it cannot be deflated because of the printing of additional bitcoins, unlike today's flat currency," said Holmes, adding:

"Scarcity is the real value of bitcoin… exchange rates will by definition fluctuate over time."

Security concerns

One of the characteristics that directly affects the value and capitalization of cryptocurrencies is that they are scarce, meaning that they are goods that exist in a finite quality.

If one was to say that a cryptocurrency is a commodity in the traditional sense, one would expect to be able to trace a cryptocurrency's units to an actual physical entity that would confirm the unit's uniqueness and ownership. What prevents this from happening is the blockchain, an openly shared register that stores and verifies the transactions of every cryptocurrency unit. The blockchain makes the notion of simply copying a bitcoin meaningless.

This reinforces the notion of an electronically-assured digital good, but it also creates a situation that may not be friendly to newcomers.

For example, a novice user who has lost their wallet's password or a casual user who has had their laptop stolen will also lose access to his or her bitcoins. Though there are storage solutions available, this feeds fears that investors who buy into the market could lose custody of funds, something they may not have with more traditional assets.

"It's a double-edged sword," said Chris McAlary, chief executive officer of Coin Cloud, a bitcoin trading and ATM company.

"People are drawn to bitcoin because it empowers them to take on the advantages that come with existing outside of the traditional banking system. With that come some risks which novice users may not be ready for. Successful bitcoin companies will build products that minimize that risk."

Zombies and the future

The question of "zombie" bitcoins is also important because of what it represents about this emerging technology. It is theoretically possible for digital goods, such as downloadable videos, music and games, to be digitally protected using a blockchain.

Such a scheme could make media ripping and non-authorized sharing – such as peer-to-peer downloading – pointless.

This, however, opens up the possibility that assets are lost. If a product is expected to be sold digitally, many would agree that there must be a mechanism in place to facilitate recovery – something a blockchain in its present form cannot do.

"With any asset there is a risk of losing it. Bitcoin is no different," said Holmes, adding:

"The only real difference is that with bitcoin you have to carefully secure the bitcoins and that means putting them in a wallet and best practice is to hold them offline. Key management has been an ongoing challenge in the IT industry so it could be argued that this is one of the potential weaknesses of any cryptocurrency."

In considering the true value of the bitcoin market, one must take seriously the question of lost wealth and the validity of the efforts to recover it. Due to the fact that the market has not embraced wealth recovery as a requirement, it may ultimately be impossible to truly quantify the size of the market.

To some bitcoin enthusiasts, this is a perfectly acceptable situation.

"A few years ago, I lost my key to my home safe," Holmes said. "After carrying the heavy safe to a number of locksmiths and getting nowhere I finally visited one and literally within two minutes he had opened the safe. Locksmiths and wallet crackers are actually a healthy development, providing that the cracking is done with consent."

He added that these concerns, as with bitcoin's market cap question, are simply issues that will be solved over time, concluding:

"As it did at the beginning of the dot-com boom, the market will provide what it needs to survive."

Bitcoin Price Blasts Past $9K Driving Crypto Market Cap Over $420B

The combined cryptocurrency market cap has passed $400 million again for the first time since March 8 as Bitcoin price soars to multi-week highs.

Bitcoin Price Bulls Are Back

Data from major exchanges and Coinmarketcap shows that as of press time April 24, the implied value of all tracked assets has reached $421 million.

Building on its latest uptick which began Friday, Bitcoin reached further highs of $9280 Tuesday, managing to find support at the $9000 level.

At the same time, Bitcoin market dominance has slipped in recent days as altcoins make their comeback, dropping to 37.9% from above 42% last week.

So Long, Sideways Growth?

The growth reflects growing optimism among traders, analysts and finance firms this month that the worst of crypto assets’ Q1 rout is over and that new price highs could well come before the end of the year.

In addition to the at least ten famous figures giving minimum 2018 price targets of $20,000, investment mogul John Pfeffer added Monday that he foresees Bitcoin rising up to a minimum of $90,000 and potentially even $700,000.

“Decentralization and censorship resistance” drove his bullish outlook, Bitcoin being “vastly easier to store and transact with than gold,” he told audience members while speaking at the Ira Sohn Investment Conference.

Beyond price, Bitcoin continues to post reassuring advances in its underlying technology. On Monday, Bitcoinist reported on how the Lightning Network, which allows users to send transactions instantly for less than a single satoshi, had doubled its funds capacity in just two weeks.

Despite remaining at an experimental stage, the Lightning mainnet implementation on the Bitcoin network now boast more nodes than Bitcoin Cash, adding to SegWit in succeeding in making Bitcoin effective as a micropayment currency once again.

What do you think about the increases in Bitcoin prices and the cryptocurrency market cap? Let us know in the comments section below!

Pfeffer Capital Investor: Bitcoin to Replace Gold While Market Cap Could Be Worth $6 Trillion

A major institutional investor has made the claim that the entire bitcoin network could one day be worth over $6 trillion.

Bitcoin to Replace Gold

Speaking at a Sohn investment conference in New York, John Pfeffer, a partner at U.K.-based Pfeffer Capital, said that the cryptocurrency could replace gold. He also made the bullish claim that it could eventually be worth $700,000, reports the Independent.

“Bitcoin is the first viable candidate to replace gold the world has ever seen. So if bitcoin becomes the dominant non-sovereign store of value, it could be the new gold, or new reserve currency.”

In his opinion, most of the other cryptocurrencies on the market are just ‘bad bets.’ This is a notable remark from the investor as it’s the first time the topic of cryptocurrencies has been spoken about at Sohn, an environment where investors can learn about which stocks to put their money in.

It also comes at a time when the market is seeing increasing interest from hedge fund investors who are turning their attention to digital currencies. Earlier this week, it was reported that one in five financial institutions are planning to trade cryptocurrencies over the next 12 months.

Bitcoin is currently valued $8,831, with a market cap worth $150.1 billion. However, Pfeffer believes that the entire bitcoin network has the potential to rise even further, to $6.4 trillion, if it displaced 25 percent of foreign reserves. To illustrate his faith in where the currency is heading, Pfeffer donated 10 bitcoins to the Sohn Foundation, with the stipulation that the coins can’t be cashed in for five years, adding ‘buy the ticket, take the ride.’

Even though he highlighted that there are still risks associated with the market, unlike gold the value linked to them is more than a store of value. Pfeffer isn’t the only one who remains bullish on the currency, and comes hot on the heels of remarks from venture capitalist Tim Draper.

At the beginning of the week, Draper made the argument that the number one cryptocurrency would be bigger than Tesla, Skype, and Hotmail combined after he was questioned to compare bitcoin to his early investments. As a long-time advocate for bitcoin, Draper said during the Intelligence Squared U.S. debate that ‘this is bigger than the internet.’ He added that the digital currency will eventually win the ‘long-term crypto battle.’

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who would put ‘fresh money‘ into bitcoin over bitcoin cash, claims that the cryptocurrency will reach $25,000 by the end of the year and $55,000 by 2022.

Cryptocurrency Market Cap Surpasses $200 Billion

Which FAANG Will Win the Blockchain Wars?

The cryptocurrency market capitalization industry-wide reached $200 billion for the first time in history. This is a huge increase from the $40 billion market cap at the beginning of 2017.

The first weekend in November was a dramatic one for the cryptocurrency space. Altcoins that had been gaining in value suddenly lost much or all of the gains in the span of about 36 hours. Meanwhile, bitcoin saw its price climb to atmospheric new highs of more than $7,500 per coin on the news that bitcoin futures would be available before the end of 2017.

Volatility Remains the Standard

A recent article by The Merkle suggests that despite the swift gains in the overall market cap for the cryptocurrency industry, the market has yet to shed any of its characteristic volatility. On the contrary, there have been greater levels of volatility during the weeks leading up to the record-setting market cap level as compared with the rest of 2017.

Currently, however, the situation seems to primarily affect altcoins, which have seen a major downturn. In spite of their lost value, those coins are nonetheless a portion of the market cap that has climbed so high.

Bitcoin Is the Centerpiece

Across the digital currency space, it may come as no surprise to investors that bitcoin remains the fixture of the market cap. All bitcoins in circulation are worth more than $125 billion at this point. Bitcoin has been the leading digital currency in terms of market capitalization since the beginning of the trend, but that figure is still impressive, considering the total market cap for the cryptocurrency space was less than one-third of that just months ago.

Accompanying the rise in bitcoin's price is an increase in the Bitcoin Dominance Index. This index sits at more than 60%, suggesting that bitcoin remains the most important digital currency for the time being. Of course, considering the overall volatility in the market, it is a safe bet that bitcoin's value will fall at some point, and that altcoins will see their values increase once again.

For now, bitcoin prices are still driven primarily by speculation. The upcoming SegWit2x hard fork, slated for later in November, is almost sure to set off a price correction for the currency.

As of this writing, ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with a total market valuation of more than $28 billion. Bitcoin Cash is in third place, although it, too, remains far behind its bigger brother, the original bitcoin.

The $200 billion benchmark is significant for the cryptocurrency industry, but it is relatively paltry compared with traditional companies and investment instruments. Nonetheless, it is an important milestone in a rapidly-growing space. (See more: Cryptocurrency Market Cap is Up 810% YTD.)
