Leaked Goldman Sachs Report Predicts Ethereum Outperforming Bitcoin
在一份外泄的高盛报告中，分析师认为由于代币的应用，以太坊很可能会取代比特币作为主要的价值存储。 除此之外，以太坊在去年年底开始更新操作方式、旨在扩大交易范围、降低高额交易成本，达到以太坊增值的目的。
在过去的一年中，以太坊的价格表现得比比特币的价格优秀。即使上周的价格暴跌，以太坊价格一年上涨了 1,000% 还是比比特币价格上涨的 300% 多。
“The leaked report by Goldman Sachs has given Ethereum, the second most potent cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of about $250 billion over $660 billion market cap of Bitcoin’s, a high chance of overtaking bitcoin as a “dominant” store of value — calling it the ‘Amazon of Information.’
Volatility in the crypto market has been high for the past week. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies plummeted, wiping $1.3 trillion from the aggregate crypto market price. Goldman Sachs analysts wrote that in the light of the importance of actual applications in value store determination, Ether is likely to overtake Bitcoin as its predominant store of value.
In the last 12 months, the price of Ethereum has outperformed the price of bitcoin, with Ethereum added about 1,000 percent compared to the 300 percent price of bitcoin even considering the crash of the price of the last week.”

Watch out for MATIC is a top altcoin to look out for in the next week
在市场动荡的情况下，MATIC一直表现良好，并吸引了许多人的关注。即使在市场崩溃时价格下跌了64％，该代币也迅速恢复。 这种恢复力的推测原因之一是 Polygon的网络强度，在过去的几个月中，其用户数量和活动量一直在增长。
如果 MATIC的网络继续呈上升趋势，则该代币可能会脱离比特币，成为交易者的独立选择。
“MATIC has been performing well under this market volatility and has captured the attention of many. Even with a drop in price by 64% when the market crashed, the token quickly recovered. One of the speculated reasons for this resilience was Polygon’s network strength, which has been experiencing an increase in number of users and activity in the past few months.
If MATIC’s network continues to grow in an upward trend, the token may detach from Bitcoin and become an independent alternative for traders.”

Russia Considers Partial Life on Crypto Ban
根据报道，俄罗斯国会议员正在权衡推翻部分该国对加密货币支付的禁令。
俄罗斯杜马国家建设与立法委员会主席帕维尔·克拉申宁尼科夫（Pavel Krasheninnikov）宣布，政府正在考虑修改民法，允许将加密货币支付作为一种“合同媒介”。
根据俄罗斯国际文传电讯社（Interfax）周一的说法，克拉申宁尼科夫（Krasheninnikov）指出，像比特币这样的加密货币目前在俄罗斯并不是一种合法的付款方式，也就是商家无需接受这种付款方式。 计划中的修正案将允许加密货币根据合同法在俄罗斯进行支付，意思是只有经过所有相关方的同意，才可以进行此类支付。
“Russian lawmakers are reportedly weighing a partial reversal of the country’s ban on cryptocurrency payments.
Pavel Krasheninnikov, chairman of the Russian Duma’s Committee on State Building and Legislation, announced that the government is considering amending civil law to allow crypto payments as a ‘contractual medium.’
According to Interfax on Monday, Krasheninnikov noted that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) do not currently represent a legal payment method in Russia, which means that merchants are not required to accept it. The planned amendments would allow crypto payments in Russia under contractual law — meaning that such payments would be only possible with the consent of all involved parties.”
