Scientists in China have made a pioneering discovery that would intensely affect the face of the precious metals landscape — and offer bitcoin with an option to shine. Scientists Turn Copper into Substance that’s almost similar to Gold Consistent with SCMP, scientists team at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Liaoning have evolved a technique to show reasonably-priced, ample copper into a substance that is identical to gold, carrying out what alchemists have for loads of years believed could be a gateway to endless riches. To create the pseudo-gold, the scientists shot a payload of hot, electrically-charged argon gas at a goal made out of copper. The ionized gas particles dislodged copper atoms from the target, and such atoms fell onto a collecting tool in which they cooled off right into a pile of microscopic sand — every grain only some nanometers in length. The scientists then tested the copper particles properties with th...

Just days ago, as reported by Ethereum World News, Arthur Hayes, the CEO of Hong Kong-headquartered Bit-MEX, told Yahoo Finance that the lack of volatility in Bitcoin (BTC) could continue into 2019 (and potentially 2020). The long-time crypto pundit went on to cite his trading experience as the catalyst behind this prediction, alluding to the theory that Bitcoin’s “nuclear bear market” in 2014 and 2015 may be replicated today. Following Yahoo Finance’s report, Hayes and the researchers under him revealed further bearish sentiment, issuing an analysis of the crypto market in Bit-MEX’s most recent edition of “Crypto Trader Digest.” The report’s Bit-coin analysis segment, which was subtitled “Bear Market Blues,” first explained that “humans are very bad forecasters,” adding that 2017’s monumental run-up in Bit-coin price — which saw the digital asset move from $900 to just shy of $20,000 — will likely not be replicated until 2019 at the earliest. Hayes then added that a...
