Editor's Note: Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you. Confirm Your Shipping Address to Claim Your Order Dear Reader,   James Altucher here.   If you're reading this, that means you've been awarded a FREE copy of my brand new book, Side Hustle Bible.   I've written more than a dozen books on personal finance and wealth building in the years since I sold my first tech company, but none as impactful and easy to use as Side Hustle Bible.   I've put aside a copy of this book, just for you… All I need is to know where to send it if you'd like to claim it.   This book is exciting for lots of reasons – 177 to be exact.   Why that number?   Because in these pages, I reveal 177 ways you can make up to a 6-figure income with a side business.   It's a start-to-finish guide for multiplying your wealth beyond your wildest dreams. And perhaps most importantly, how to do that on your own terms.   Unlike my other books, you won't find Side Hustle Bible on the shelves of any bookstore or listed on Amazon.   Why? Because if it was, I couldn't give it away for free.   The fact is, the biggest fortunes in history – Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, J.D. Rockefeller -– weren't created by winning the lottery or making 10,000% on a single stock. They were built up over the years by multiple income streams from the businesses they created.   I wrote this book to be a blueprint for ordinary people to climb to new heights of personal wealth.   If I charged for this information, that would only slow you down on your journey. I don't want anything to stand in your way.   Plus, I don't really need the money. My books have sold so well over the years that I wanted to do something special with this one.   So for the first time ever, I'm giving away every copy of this book for FREE.   (And exclusively to people who respond to this invitation within 72 hours. Due to high demand, that's the longest I can keep your copy reserved.)   In these pages, I reveal some of the biggest wealth-building secrets I've learned in my 30-year career as a hedge fund manager, tech entrepreneur, and venture capitalist: On page 221, you'll learn how to create an online course — and earn $23,500 in 45 minutes. On page 197, I'll show you how to make $2,000 a weekend, from anywhere in the world. And on page 161, you'll find 10 businesses you can start from home today. And I don't just tell you the secrets and send you away… I SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT STEP BY STEP! Side Hustle Bible will never leave you guessing how to apply these techniques. Instead, I show you how to use them in the real world.   Of course, there's a lot more in this 367-page book than I can fit into one email. But I'm confident that as soon as you start learning how easy it is to make money outside of a traditional 9-5 job – you'll devour every page!   Thousands of Americans are already using these secrets to make veritable fortunes. Take the extraordinary story of Trevor Chapman for example.   He turned $200 into $1 million in 92 days. And 90 days later, he had made another $1 million.   He didn't keep his success to himself though. He shared his secret with his mother Denalee and she now earns $1,000 a day from an online store she started with zero experience, zero money, and just 14 days of effort.   People like Trevor are the reason I do what I do. They inspire me to keep writing!   It's like my friend AngelList CEO Naval Ravikant says: Quitting my 9–5 job and becoming my own boss was the most liberating thing I ever did. It made me happier and more successful than I ever dreamed. And now I want you to do the same!   All that's left to do is to claim your FREE copy of The Side Hustle Bible, today!   Regards, James Altucher   P.S. Remember, I can only hold your copy in reserve for 72 hours. If you wait too long, you might always regret missing out on the opportunity to completely change your life – so claim your free copy now.

September 16, 2019 POWER UP: The computing power dedicated to mining bitcoin has hit another new high, suggesting as many as 600,000 powerful new machines may have come online in the last three months. According to data from crypto mining pool BTC.com, bitcoin’s two-week average hash rate reached 85 exahashes per second around 19:00 UTC last Friday. Meanwhile, mining difficulty also adjusted to a new record of nearly 12 trillion. Both metrics have jumped 60 percent since June 14, the data shows. Full story LIBRA RESPONSE: The head of Facebook’s Calibra – the entity created by Facebook to provide financial services including a digital wallet for the planned Libra cryptocurrency – has tried to “debunk” claims the project poses a threat “monetary sovereignty.” In a Twitter thread Monday, David Marcus said the creation of money will “strictly remain the province of sovereign nations” and that, during rollout, Libra would continue to work closely with regulators. Full story BROWSER THREAT: Browser plugins can help scammers steal your crypto, Casa CEO Jeremy Welch warned at a conference this weekend. “Browser extensions impose major risks, and these risks haven’t been discussed until this point,” he said. Extensions can gather a wealth of data, which can be leaked, stolen, and used by scammers. “Make sure you don’t expose your bitcoin addresses anywhere,” Welch warned. Full story TOKEN PIVOT: Harbor has pivoted from helping companies issue security tokens to helping them tokenize existing securities. The startup has created tokens on the ethereum blockchain representing the shares of four real estate funds worth $100 million. The move is intended to ease trading of the private securities, which are held by 1,100 investors along with 17 broker-dealers and 17 placement agents that work with the funds’ manager, iCap Equity. Full story JPM COIN: JPMorgan’s blockchain-based payments initiative has added Deutsche Bank as its latest member. The addition brings the total number of banks signed up to the Interbank Information Network (IIN) to 320, according to the Financial Times. Takis Georgakopoulos, managing director of treasury services at JPMorgan, said that, since IIN would have “very big natural limitations” if members were drawn only from the bank’s client pool, the addition of Deutsche Bank “is going to help us drive towards ubiquity.” Full story MINING BOOST: Bitcoin’s hash rate, a metric of miner's confidence, continues to surge and will likely draw bids, helping the cryptocurrency exit the recent narrowing price range with a bullish breakout. As per technical charts, the odds of a rise to resistance near $11,000 will remain strong as long as newfound support at $10,150 is intact. Full story   MUSIC HACKS: A 19-year-old from Ipswich in the U.K. has been arrested for allegedly hacking “world-famous” recording artists' websites and selling unreleased songs online for cryptocurrency. The East Anglian Daily Times says City of London Police arrested the man Friday after an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's office, in New York. Management companies representing recording artists (the victims) raised the initial complaint.    WHO WON #CRYPTOTWITTER   Copyright © 2019 CoinDesk, All rights reserved.  Our mailing address is:  250 Park Avenue South New York, NY, 10003, US  Want to change how you receive these emails?

Bitcoin's hash rate / China's digital currency / Bitcoin volatility

Inside Bitcoin presented by Airbnb.

Presented by Subscribe | View in browser Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. Today's news is pretty interesting, but I like the analysis pieces. You should be really enlightened after reading about Bitcoin valuation and volatility and China's digital currency. Of course, don't forget about the Bitcoiner list on Twitter. More on the way. -- Allen       Market Watch: Top five gainers today are VeChain, Quant, Metaverse ETP (the biggest loser on Friday), THETA, and Synthetix Network Token. Bottom feeders: MonaCoin, Aurora, NEM, Dragon Coins, and Cosmos (rode high last week and top gainer last Monday). Among the top five, Ethereum busted out with some major gains this past week. Bitcoin: $10,236 (⬇️ 1.07%) // $183.6 billion market cap. Ethereum: $191.96 (⬆️ 1.50%) // $20.68 billion market cap. XRP: $0.26 (⬇️ 1.23%) // $11.2 billion market cap. Bitcoin Cash: $304.89 (⬇️ 0.43%) // $5.48 billion market cap. Top 100 Winner: VeChain: $0.004 (⬆️ 7.89%) // $223.1 million market cap. Top 100 Loser: MonaCoin: $1.20 (⬇️ 11.99%) // $9.077 million market cap. Prices are as of 12:09 p.m. EDT.       1. Bitcoin's two-week average hash rate hit an all-time high of 85 exahashes per second (EH/s) at about 19:00 UTC on Friday, according to BTC.com. The blockchain's mining difficulty adjusts roughly every two weeks in order to keep the block production time to 10 minutes, says CoinDesk writer Wolfie Zhao. It's estimated that 600,000 new ASIC miners with an average hashing power of 55 tera hashes per second (TH/s) were deployed within the last three months. ASIC miners sell in the range of $1,500 to $2,500, so if these calculations are correct, the leading ASIC miner manufacturers--Bitmain, Canaan, InnoSilicon, and MicroBT--could have made $1 billion in revenue in the last three months. -- COINDESK       2. According to a Chinese news report, the country's digital currency is being positioned as a substitute for M0, which, in economic lingo, means the total value of the money supply available in the economy at any point in time. Other money supply categories include M1, M2, and M3. In essence, each category is successively less liquid than the next with M1 representing the physical money supply, therefore being the most liquid and useful for cash transactions. By dividing M0 by M2, economists can determine the ratio of people in a national economy who rely on cash for payments. China's M0/M2 ratio is the third lowest, behind only the UK and Hong Kong, at 3.79 percent. By contrast, the U.S.'s is 21.92 percent, one of the highest in the world, indicating its citizens rely on cash 5.8 times more than the Chinese. These numbers could indicate that China's Central Bank Digital Currency could be planned as a mobile payment replacement system in China, says author Henry He. -- VENTURE BEAT       A MESSAGE FROM AIRBNB Earn money by sharing your space.

In finance, there is more than one way to measure deviation. In the world of crypto, it makes a huge difference whether low liquidity leads to volatility or volatility leads to low liquidity. Acheson challenges common assumptions regarding the valuation of Bitcoin and volatility by comparing standard deviation with median absolute deviation. She then turns her attention of Bitcoin's value asserting that the main driver of value is sentiment. Comparing it to gold, she says it's "radical uncertainty" that causes bitcoin's volatility to be so much lower than that of the precious metal. -- COINDESK       4. XRP investor @Crypto_Bitlord tweeted to his 100,000 followers plans to fork Ripple's XRP token. The tweet appears to be more of a troll than a real threat, but highlights growing discord in the XRP community. Ripple has been selling large amounts of its currency to fund operations and invest in other firms. It's estimated that Ripple Labs owns about 60 percent of the 100 billion XRP that have been created to date. Other investors believe the dumping practice has been hurting their investments. Last month, a petition to stop Ripple dumping was posted at Change.org asking for 5,000 signatures. -- COIN TELEGRAPH Do you think Ripple will hard fork, and would it succeed if it did?

Get the report 5. The amount of Ethereum gas is currently at an all-time high, according to its 14-day moving average. In 2017, Ethereum gas usage followed price closely, but since then it has decoupled. The fees are still too high for decentralized finance. As Ethereum developers near the rollout of ETH 2.0, gas usage indicates a network positive. It also means that it's time for an upgrade, and if the blockchain can keep up the current momentum, it should transition to proof-of-stake seamlessly, according to Be in Crypto blogger Anton Lucian. Gas usage is expected to continue expanding through 2020, but that could slow down DApp development until Ethereum solves its scaling issues. -- BE IN CRYPTO       6. BlockFi has nixed its minimum deposit requirements on its BlockFi Interest Account (BIA) so that it can pay interest on all account holdings. BlockFi will pay interest on Bitcoin, Ether, and the Gemini Dollar (GUSD) going forward. The crypto lender will also allow one free withdrawal each month for account holders. Also, early withdrawal fees are being dropped. However, GUSD minimum withdrawals will remain at 0.003 BTC and 0.056 ETH. -- CRYPTO BRIEFING       7. ConsenSys is introducing a new decentralized finance product called Codefi. ConsenSys Co-head of Global Fintech Lex Sokolon compared Codefi with Twilio and Stripe in that it serves businesses that need to process payment data. There are four parts to Codefi: Data, networks, assets, and payments. The product is 100 percent in-house, allowing ConsenSys to retain all of the revenues generated from the product. The product will be rolled out as a "controlled release." -- COINDESK       8. Decentralized crypto exchange Switcheo Network has integrated with Coinbase Wallet's API, WalletLink, and allows users to trade from any browser. Switcheo integrated with Coinbase Wallet in December 2018. Users can manage all their ETH and ERC-20 tokens and access third-party DApps through the wallet's DApp browser. To link their Coinbase Wallet to a desktop browser, Switcheo users just have to scan a QR code, which creates an encrypted link connecting the wallet and the browser. It will also push notifications to the user's phone when transactions need a signature. -- NEO NEWS TODAY       9. Bank for International Settlements Principal Economist Raphael Auer suggested embedded supervision as a new low-cost compliance method for regulating blockchain-based financial markets. Making use of machine learning and tokenization, embedded supervision aims to monitor the financial industry with more efficiency through decentralization while reducing the need for firms to collect, verify, and deliver data. -- THE BLOCK       10. eToro is introducing programming language Lira to enhance derivatives trading in crypto markets. The goal is to enable the development of new derivative products on the Ethereum blockchain while reducing associated risks. The programming language is being used on eToro's new demo trading platform eToroX Labs. Lira is an open-source programming language. The language can be used for "domain-specific" purposes and allows counterparties to write, verify, and collect on the terms and conditions of a self-executing contract. -- CROWDFUND INSIDER       Inside Bitcoin is written and curated by award-winning journalist and former newspaper editor Allen Taylor.
