Pantera Capital CEO Believes Bitcoin Could Reach $356,000 in a Couple Years

What happened?
Pantera Capital founder Dan Morehead discussed how Bitcoin could hit $42,000 by the end of 2019 and even has the potential to reach $356,000 within a couple of years. Morehead delivered his comments on an episode of the Unchained podcast on July 23.

Tron Price Plunges as Justin Sun Denies Money Laundering Accusations

What happened?
Tron founder and CEO Justin Sun denied illegal fundraising, porn transaction facilitation, gambling and money laundering accusations in a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo published on July 23. By press time, the price of Tron plunged by about 16.58% over the last 24 hours, trading at about $0.024.

What did he say?
According to his post, the illegal fundraising accusations are false since — after the Chinese government banned initial coin offerings in September 2017 — the Tron Foundation returned the funds. Sun also says that the money laundering accusations have no basis since the Tron Foundation is located in Singapore, complies with local regulations, and does not involve fiat on or off-ramp services.

Bitcoin Network Now 8 Times More Powerful Than It Was at $20K Price

What happened?
Bitcoin now has more computing power behind its security than ever before, passing another milestone as the hash rate reaches an all-time high. Data from monitoring resource Blockchain confirmed that the Bitcoin network's total hash rate reached a peak of 79 tera hashes per second (TH/s) on July 20. 

How did the process go?
The figure subsided over the weekend after hitting the 79 trillion mark. On Sunday, the most recent day for which data is available, the hash rate total was recorded at 67.1 trillion TH/s, regularly fluctuating while still setting a general upward trend. In other words, the Bitcoin network now has almost eight times the computing power it had when the price of Bitcoin was around $20,000 in late 2017.
