Apple Vs. Coinbase: Who will win?

Hey #Moni Maker 🧑‍💻

Today, in 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, which is now regarded as the beginning of the global economic crisis. About a month later, Satoshi Nakamoto shared his own solution to the world economic problem, and in January 2009, the first Bitcoin block was mined. Whether traditional institutions like it or not, crypto revolution cannot be stopped, and we already see thousands of developing projects. How exciting it is to be on the cutting edge of one of the greatest paradigm shifts!

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, criticized Apple for restricting access to applications related to cryptocurrencies and DeFi. Check his thread here:

Shortly speaking, Brian tweeted that he wanted to have discussions with Apple, directly contacting the company's management, but the consent was never reached.

So what?

Lol! We won communism in the 20th century, so it's time to fight against monopolies and other likes of capitalism in the 21st.

Against the background of the war between Apple and Epic Games, a new soldier of the army in the face of Armstrong predicts a wave of outrage towards Tim Cook's company.

In any case, crypto people become so influential that they can openly disagree with Apple. Wonderful, isn't it?

Cryptocurrency trading volumes for August saw the biggest month-over-month increase — some 75% — since February 2018, according to The Block's volume index.

The first place is occupied by Binance. It's about 65% of the total trading volume. Binance is followed by Coinbase (11.2%), Kraken, and LMAX Digital with 4.8% each, Bitfinex (3.3%), and Bitstamp (2.8%).

So what?

Previously we were really tired of hearing about the failure of crypto; now we are tired of making up synonyms to the phrase "crypto is becoming popular". The second tiredness is, of course, endlessly pleasant.

It should also be noted that exchanges are used by more advanced users, so it means that the interest in learning cryptocurrency is growing, not just light usage.

In anticipation of the rapid launch of the ETH 2.0 update and the development of the DeFi market, Santiment's analysts noted in a new report the highest activity of Ethereum developers in the past 7 months.

And a little earlier, it became known that with good development, the launch of ETH 2.0 should take place this November.

So what?

Vitalik took all documents, put up security, and threatened to send to work on hyip-projects?

Actually, everything is more prosaic; the logic of ETH is perfect! Why do we have to run with Bitcoin and lose, if we can run our own way and win (DeFi)?

So people are working hard for our bright future. Let's support them.

BNB reached $33 (now it's $29)

So what?

There are several reasons for such rapid growth:

1. Last week it became known that Binance will allocate $100 million to support DeFi projects, and this increased the exchange's level of influence.

2. Launch of Binance Liquid Swap, the first centralized AMM pool

3. Launch of Launchpool service for Yield Farming using BNB.

But one of the main reasons for BNB growth in recent days was the appearance of Uniswap forks based on the recently launched Binance Smart Chain. At the moment, the volume of transactions in this blockchain has reached 14% of Ethereum, the main blockchain for DeFi, which is more than an excellent start.
