Mike Tyson Loves Crypto, But Solana Or Ethereum?

Leave a reply

Former professional boxer widely considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, Mike Tyson, poured some gasoline on the Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) versus Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) debate.

What Happened: In a Thursday tweet, Tyson simply asked his followers “Solana or Ethereum?” — unleashing a battle among the answers to his post over which one is the superior smart contract-enabled blockchain platform.

Ethereum is the leading blockchain when it comes to hosting decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and non-fungible token (NFT) projects while Solana is a newer but fast-growing contender. In fact, Solana recently became the sixth biggest cryptocurrency based on market cap after having tripled in about three weeks as cryptocurrency experts suggest that major players in the space, such as FTX and Jump, are recognizing its potential.

Solana, just like Ethereum, has its own smaller but booming ecosystem of decentralized applications (DApps) including DeFi protocols and NFT projects. While Ethereum has much stronger network effects on its side, users and developers are increasingly appreciating Solana's transactions costing a fraction of a cent and processing instantly where Ethereum transactions take minutes and cost upwards of $100 when the network is under stress.

Still, Ethereum has another advantage over Solana: it is expected to become deflationary in the future. Following early August's London upgrade, the Ethereum network started burning thousands of coins each day, with estimates suggesting it will become deflationary after a future upgrade to take place sometime in the first quarter of 2023.

Price Action: According to CoinmarketCap data, as of press time Thursday afternoon, Ethereum is about 1.55% down and trading at $3,457.05 while Solana is worth $192.83, down 0.46%.

Top 5 China Stocks To Buy For 2022

Leave a reply

Shares fell in Asia on Thursday after further losses on Wall Street following a Federal Reserve report showing U.S. economic activity slowed this summer.

The report pointed to resurgent coronavirus cases and mounting supply chain problems and labor shortages woes affecting many economies. Benchmarks fell in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Sydney.

Japan extended its emergency measures to combat COVID-19 outbreaks until the end of September, as numbers of new cases have been declining only slowly, straining the healthcare system.

Chinese markets have been chilled by further moves by the government to strengthen controls over online businesses that thrived during the pandemic.

In another development, ratings agencies say Evergrande Group, one of Chinas biggest real estate developers, looks increasingly likely to default on its debts following news reports it will delay interest payments on bank loans. The company is selling assets to raise cash and faces complaints it is late in paying contractors and in delivering projects to customers.

    In April, Chinese regulators hit Alibaba with a record fine of $2.8 billion. The stock rallied 9.3% that day, in hopes that the worst was behind it. While there hasn’t been a lot of Alibaba-specific issues since, the fear from investors remains as the Chinese government continues to rail against tech in general. It’s impacted Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) and others too.

    The automaker also plans to enhance its digital services through one million connected Ford vehicles that will be on the road by the end of 2021. It is integrating its vehicles with digital technologies from Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN),Alphabet (GOOGL)and Baidu (BIDU). It also unveiled Ford Pro, an initiative that focuses on serving business clients.

  • [By Danny Vena]

    After spending the first half of 2018 in investors’ good graces, Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has fallen out of favor yet again. As late as May of last year, China’s internet search leader was clocking all-time highs but had lost more than 40% of its value going into its latest earnings report. What caused this perilous fall from grace? Two quarters of decelerating growth, fears regarding China’s slowing economy, and the ongoing trade conflict between Washington, D.C. and Beijing conspired to knock Baidu back down to size.

Investors seem to have gained some confidence from an upbeat corporate earnings season but the spread of the more contagious coronavirus variant and subsequently its devastating impact on global economic growth vis-à-vis the stock market has set off alarm bells at Wall Street.

The spread of the delta variant may again lead to the government taking stringent measures, which unquestionably doesn’t bode well for the economic recovery made so far. From New Zealand to China’s ports as well as the United States have been witnessing a rise in coronavirus cases. In the United States, the highly-transmissible delta variant is spreading in places with a comparatively low vaccination rate.

In fact, the spread of the delta variant has started to show its impact on the U.S. economy. Retail sales in the United States declined 1.1% last month versus economists’ estimate of a drop of 0.3%, according to the Commerce Department, citing a Barron’s article. Americans continued to trim spending on especially big-ticket items, thanks to concerns about the spread of the delta variant and its impact on the economy.

    Stocks to Watch Today: TGT, CRM, FB
    This morning, shares of Target Corp.(NYSE: TGT) popped nearly 6% after a strong Q4 earnings report. The company reported earnings per share of $1.53 on total revenue of $22.98 billion. Wall Street expected $1.52 per share on sales of $22.91 billion. The firm reported very strong online sales (up 25%) and a 5.3% jump in same-store sales. Analysts had expected a 4.5% increase in same-store sales. The report is the latest sign that Target has emerged as a formidable competitor to Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart Inc.(NYSE: WMT). Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) is under fire again due to security concerns around its sign-in features. The company has not allowed users to opt out of the key feature that lets users look up others by phone number and e-mail address. Many people have added their phone numbers in the past thinking it would only be used for two-factor authentication and security. Critics argue this is the latest episode of Facebook compromising user information. Shares of Salesforce.com Inc.(NYSE: CRM) are in focus as the cloud computing giant plans to report earnings after the bell Tuesday. CRM stock is already up 20% so far this year. And many analysts expect the firm to report earnings per share of $0.55 on top of $3.56 billion in revenue. Yesterday, Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff predicted that $30 billion in annual revenue for the cloud computing giant is “right around the corner.” Look for earnings reports from AeroVironment Inc.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Keith Noonan]

    Shares of NetEase(NASDAQ:NTES)fell 11.4%% in February, according to data fromS&P Global Market Intelligence. Despite positive momentum for Chinese tech stocks and the broader market, the online media company’s share price tumbled in the lead-up to its fourth-quarter earnings release.

  • [By Leo Sun]

    Its live broadcasting revenue surged as it added more virtual gifts and premium content, the ad business benefited from more brand ads and the introduction of performance-based ads in the prior year quarter, and its e-commerce business — which was recently integrated into Alibaba’s Taobao marketplace — saw a spike in product sales. Bilibili’s recent acquisition of NetEase’s (NASDAQ:NTES) online comics business should further bolster its “other” revenue.

Hong Kong’s economy continues to defy gravity, for now.

The world’s least-affordable property prices continue to hold up, tourism and shopping have rebounded as China’s economy hums along, and a bustling stock market that’s set to boast one of the world’s-biggest stock offerings this year is buoying sentiment.

Data Friday is expected to show the Asian financial hub grew 3.4 percent from a year earlier in the first quarter. But that may be as good as it gets.

The gradual tightening of policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve is starting to bite, with the Hong Kong dollar peg meaning the Chinese region imports U.S. monetary policy. Meantime, a looming trade war between China and the U.S. threatens to dim the outlook further.

“From a macro perspective the Hong Kong economy is doing pretty well,” said Dong Chen, senior Asia economist with Pictet Wealth Management in Hong Kong. “Last year was extremely strong, of course on the background of a global synchronized expansion. This year we think it will moderate.”
