Dec 8, 2018 - This approach to software development is something that all Mac OS X users. Coinbase is one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges in the world,. Bitcoin exchange watched its surge to the top of the free apps chart in Apple's App Store yesterday, amid a speculative frenzy surrounding the blockchain cryptocurrency. Bitcoin prices on Coinbase's GDAX exchange flew past $16,000 to almost $20,000 in around 90 minutes on Thursday, reported, extending its record-breaking run and causing the software to crash and the service's website to go down intermittently in the process. The digital currency fluctuated during a turbulent Asian session, before falling back to about $16,000. BREAKING: Coinbase unavailable. The company now has more customers than Charles Schwab and has opened as many as 300,000 accounts in a day. Today has unprecedented volume and demand. There are litterally so many people trying to buy Bitcoin that exchanges are crashing. — Bruce Fenton (@brucefenton) The rise and rise of bitcoin has brought it into the mainstream in the last few weeks, but many observers are warning that the cryptocurrency could be a bubble. Investors have also been reminded of the dangers of hackers, after bitcoin mining marketplace NiceHash lost $64 million in BTC following a '. Apple has had its own problems with cryptocurrencies in the past. In August 2016, the tech giant had to several fake bitcoin wallets from the App Store after users of the digital currency were scammed out of thousands of dollars. For anyone interested in observing the hourly fluctuations of bitcoin while maintaining a safe distance, free app offers real-time quotes and up-to-date cryptocurrency news all within an impressive-looking dark-themed dashboard. Just last month I tried to download two completely different MacOS Bitcoin applications from macupdate.com and after the DMG files downloaded my antivirus gave me an alert both times that the files were infected and it deleted the downloads. If the MacOS community files are infected you can imagine how much more the Windows community. It's only a matter of time that some clever hacker infects an Apple App Store and iOS App Store with some type of root crack. Still going to be really difficult on iOS. Almost akin to a userland instant jailbreak. Then again, there would be monetary incentive that the current jailbreak teams might not have. The ugliness of unregulated free market. But the beauty of potentially world-changing disruptive technology. It's going to have a rough start but let's see where we are in five years. Until cryptocurrency stabilizes with actual reputable banking entities and parity with worldwide currencies, it’s still a gamble. Cryptocurrency is good for its base technology but all of the other crap that is on top of it leads to its ultimate downfall. I think Coinbase is on the right track but after $230 million in investment and they still have problems with the calcs for currency parity, it’s not really reassuring. Bitcoin is hot right now but litecoin I think will have a surge soon. I’m still freaked out by having the hashes accessible the way they are. App Store chart topper introduced support for Bitcoin Cash on Wednesday, allowing users of the cryptocurrency exchange app to trade in the alternative 'forked' digital asset. Bitcoin Cash appeared in early August when a group of developers created a separate version of the Bitcoin blockchain, so that more transactions could be processed at a faster rate, with lower associated fees involved. When news of a potential split or 'fork' in the blockchain first appeared, Coinbase said it would not support trading in the new currency that would be created as a result, but in August it reversed its decision and said customers would be able to withdraw Bitcoin Cash from the first day of 2018. Following today's app update, all users will be credited an amount of Bitcoin Cash that is equal to their Bitcoin balance when the fork occurred on August 1. Bitcoin Cash trading will also be available on GDAX, which is Coinbase's institutional-based exchange. The Coinbase app to the top of Apple's free apps chart in the App Store last week, amid a speculative frenzy surrounding the blockchain cryptocurrency. Today's announcement that it would support Bitcoin Cash caused BTC to drop sharply in the early hours as users switched currencies, but the value appears to have stabilized since, at around $17,599 as of writing. Also this week, a new version of the app was released. Version 1.5 of the cryptocurrency quote platform brings a new secure portfolio, Reddit and news separation, fresh UI styling, and a FOREX engine that lets users purchase any currency pair and automatically see the value in their local fiat currency. I’m skeptical of the whole crypto-currency trading thing. Kind of seems like a get rich quick scheme. There’s some definite risk involved that many people aren’t aware of.
