11 Factors that Can Determine Bitcoin Price Volatility

Motivation & Environment

Since Bitcoin was introduced more than a decade ago, its price has been rapidly rising and frequently associated with high volatility. Historically speaking, the rapid changes in Bitcoin price and value have made it consistently volatile.

Like most existing digital currencies or cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is a very volatile cryptocurrency. Many past instances have shown how volatile Bitcoin value and price have been and can be; for example, between November 2017 and December 2017, its price had increased by at least 220 percent.

But why has bitcoin price and value been so volatile? Well, the upward and downward price fluctuations and volatility of Bitcoin price on cryptocurrency exchanges are determined by many factors. This article discusses 11 factors that have determined and can still determine Bitcoin price volatility, and Bitcoin price and value around a particular time period. Now let’s get right into it: the 11 factors are as follows:

Struck by Covid

What a crappy thing to get. Splitting headache (no amount of paracetamol helps), shivers, unbelievable fatigue, neurological symptoms (I’m too emotional), body temp of over 38C at all times. To sum up – hell.

Take it seriously people, I’m forced to take off a week of work. This is not fun when you are a contractor

Developing Desktop applications with .NET 5.0

Around and About .NET World

We know that .NET 5.0 makes it possible to develop WPF and Windows Forms applications. However, at the time of writing, Visual Studio templates haven’t been updated to new target framework: desktop applications are still created using .NET Core 3.1. So, for example, the project file for a WPF application is the following:

However, we can easily update it to use .NET 5.0. We just need to change Sdk attribute (line 1) and the TargetFramework tag (line 5):

In particular, we don’t have anymore an Sdk that relates to desktop applications. Instead, we have a target framework moniker (TFM) that is OS-specific, net5.0-windows. This is because the standard net5.0 moniker only includes technologies that work cross-platform. Specifying an OS-specific TFM makes APIs that are specific to an operating system available to ours applications (in our case, desktop applications on Windows). Of course, OS-specific TFMs also inherit every API available…

gRPC pub/sub demo

Sacha's Blog

Its been a while since I’ve posted here and also written an article. But I took some time last night to create an article about gRPC. Here is an abstract about the article

So if you have been around a while you will have undoubtedly come across the need to perform some sort of remote procedure call. There are many frameworks that allow this, WebApi, WCF, just about any REST Api you can think of, Service Stack etc etc

This is all fairly standard stuff we call a remote systems method with some parameters (or not) and get a response (or not)

Those of you that have also used things like WCF will recall that WCF also supported Duplex channels, where the server side code was capable of calling clients back on a callback channel. This is quite useful for things like notifications/price updates things like that.

Now WCF is…

Automating creating NuGet packages with MSBuild

Code, the Universe and everything...

NuGet is a great way of shipping projects. You work on a project, you publish a package and it is immediately available to, literally, millions of developers. Creating a package consists of a few steps like authoring a .nuspec file, creating a folder structure, copying the right files to the right folders/subfolders and calling the nuget pack command. While the steps are not complicated they are error prone. I learnt this lesson when I shipped the first alpha versions of some of my NuGet packages. What happened was that I would create a package and then I would start feeling some doubts – did I really build the project before copying the files? did I copy the Release and not the Debug version? did I sign the file? And then people started using my packages and started asking (among other things) for a version that would work on other versions…

Blazor WebAssembly Rest Client

ChristianFindlay.com

Blazor is Microsoft’s latest Single Page Application (SPA) framework, which is C# based and renders to the browser HTML DOM. Blazor comes in two flavors: server-side and client-side rendering. This article focuses on client-side rendering and explains how to use RestClient.Net to make calls to a RESTful API. Blazor WebAssembly uses C# compiled for WebAssembly (Wasm).

Blazor lets you build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code is written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries.

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor

If you haven’t heard of Blazor yet, now would be a good time to start doing some research. Front-end development has been primarily dominated by JavaScript and related technologies like TypeScript for a long time. C# developers often need to switch between JavaScript and C#, even though working in a…
