No, The Boss of Bitcoin Isn’t Dead, but You Can’t Call Him Either 2616

It has been 10 years now since Bitcoin (BTC) was first created. The original cryptocurrency has existed for all this time with minimal changes to its code base and zero adjustments to its governance model.

Why then is it so hard for some in the mainstream media to develop even a basic understanding of Bitcoin? Just this week, two completely independent publications have reported on the decentralised fintech innovation as if there was some overarching authority controlling the disparate network.

Stop the Press! Bitcoin is a Protocol, Not a Company…

Earlier this week, two big news stories broke in the Bitcoin space.

The first concerned the founder of the Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX. Gerard Cotten passed away last December, taking with him the secrets to control US$145 million worth of digital assets owned by the exchange and its customers.

The story was picked up by more than just the traditional crypto news platforms and many mainstream publications around the world deemed it interesting enough to cover. Of course, mistakes are often made when non-specialists write on technical topics.

Austria’s Strazburg 24 decided to run with the headline, “Bitcoin-Chef nimmt Passwörter mit ins Grab”, or “Bitcoin boss takes passwords with him to the grave.” I am sure I do not need to point out how misleading the wording of this title is.

Bitcoin has no boss. It exists without central control from any single authority. Even if BTC’s founder, the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, was identified and died, the headline would still not be accurate. Such errors by mainstream media do a spectacularly poor job of presenting Bitcoin in an honest, accurate light. Proliferating non-factual statements about the technology can only delay its eventual adoption.

Other reporters seem to be labouring under the same misconception too. In this second example, The Times of Israel reported on the appeal by the Hamas group for individuals to donate Bitcoin to their cause. The story has since been edited, likely due to the high numbers of people Tweeting about the error:

Despite how poor of a representation this is of Bitcoin in the mainstream press, the image of one of the publication’s writers attempting to contact “Bitcoin” the entity is an amusing one indeed.

Jokes aside, the effort from the cryptocurrency community to shame The Times of Israel for its shoddy reporting must be commended. If mainstream media publications print misinformation it is our duty to call them out on it and that is exactly what happened.

That said, it is not just the mainstream media that seems confused by this incredibly basic facet of the most successful digital currency by market capitalisation. Others are apparently having the same issue too:

If anything, examples like that above, if serious, highlight the need to tackle the spread of false narratives relating to Bitcoin in the mainstream media. Clearly, this individual has been grossly misinformed about the nature of the Bitcoin protocol.

AvaxTech Passes SolidProof Smart Contract Audit, Enhancing Safety for Avax Investors 1785

The AvaxTech project has recently passed a smart contract audit by the well-respected SolidProof. This milestone adds to AvaxTech’s already impressive track record of providing valuable products for the Avax chain.

The project aims to enhance safety for Avax investors and promote secure investments in the ever-evolving digital landscape. With its team of experts, AvaxTech provides reliable analysis and information for investors.

AvaxTech’s Impact on Avax Ecosystem

The spirit of AvaxTech is to support the Avax community by providing reliable tokens through their products. Monk, the project’s developer, has an extensive background in the cryptocurrency world.

He has worked on over 100 projects related to product development and idea consultancy. Monk’s expertise includes developing bots used by thousands on Telegram, providing Web3 Dapp platforms, and smart contract audits. Many recognize him for his work on meme coins, which he still actively supports.

Monk has now turned his focus to the Avax blockchain and established AvaxTech with the development team. He leads the team in creating and supporting products and platforms for Avax. As a voluntary supporter, Monk offers information support to developers and companies looking to develop on Avax.

Impressively, AvaxTech has detected over 2,000 scam tokens on the Avax blockchain since November 2023. This has raised awareness among thousands of investors and aided in creating a safer ecosystem.

How AvaxTech Promotes Secure Investments

The AvaxTech ecosystem features multiple tools to assist investors in making secure investments within the Avax blockchain. One of these tools is the Analyzer Platform, which provides users with an easy-to-read dashboard for all their analysis needs.

This includes analyzing token addresses and wallets for any suspicious activity. It also involves accessing vital information such as market cap, liquidity ratio, risk for honeypot systems, transaction taxes, and more.

All of this information comes from AvaxTech’s impartial third-party engine, giving users a reliable source for project analysis. It is pretty much like having an ID card for a project. This makes it easier for traders to evaluate the potential benefits and risks.

With AvaxTech’s Telegram Analyzer Bot, users can scan for suspicious activity directly through the messaging app. This technology enables quick and easy monitoring of investments on the go.

Furthermore, AvaxTech offers tools such as the New Pair Channel and New Lock Channel on Telegram. The latter can be useful for alerting users to new pair listings and LP lockings in real time.

Lastly, with the Telegram Live Trending feature, users can easily spot trending Avax tokens and gain insights on potential investments. Together, these products make up AvaxTech’s suite of tools promoting secure and informed investments in Web3.

The platform has also been pivotal in protecting Avax token investors by detecting 96% of SCAM Tokens.

AvaxTech has become a valuable organization for all Avax communities and investors with its popular web analysis platform, Avaxanalysis.com.

On January 22, AvaxTech launched $ATECH Token, which has utility in its entire ecosystem of products. This project has become a brand within the Avax ecosystem. Nowadays, thousands of investors are using the platform for newly added tokens.

$ATECH Token serves as a payment and utility token in the entire AvaxTech ecosystem, giving it real purpose and utility. Its use is necessary for accessing all products developed by AvaxTech.

1 788177418695

The Walletry crypto wallet team constantly introduces new and proven technical solutions aimed at increasing comfort and protection for its users. Let’s talk about some of them.

First of all, it is worth highlighting the use of cross-chain bridges, which allow traders to change assets from different blockchain ecosystems. The internetwork exchange is based on a smart contract, it takes place quickly and is not subject to additional fees.

Walletry developers pay special attention to the aspects of security and reliability. When creating a wallet, a Seed phrase consisting of 12 English words is generated. It, together with the private key, provides access (return of access) to the assets stored on it. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is used, when in addition to the password, when logging into your account, you need to enter a code that will additionally be sent to your smartphone or e-mail.

And yet, development of a version of the crypto wallet for personal computers has already begun. It will be no less convenient than that available for mobile devices.

One thing is obvious. The Walletry team still has many tasks to solve, because its global goal is to make the project one of the most innovative and in demand.
