Madbyte News - May 1, 2020

The mining reward for the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, will be halving around May 12th. This is the third time this will have happened. The reward started at 50 Bitcoin and dropped to 25 in 2012, 12.5 in 2016, and now to 6.25 BTC. These halving events, in turn, has caused Bitcoin value to increase historically. Price during the first halving was $12 per BTC and 150 days later it had gone up to $127. In 2016 the halving price was at $650 and now in 2020.

Bitcoin will continue to be extremely volatile and even more so as we have this perfect storm of events from money printing, halving, and the worldwide lockdown. A few weeks ago we were at lows of $3800 or so and now highs of $9000. The speculation in the stock-to-flow model has BTC heading into the $100,000 area in this next 4-year cycle. It seems unreal but so did today's current value in 2012 and 2016, yet here we are. So if you want to speculate, there is always time to see if 10x returns are available. Though when you speculate you can also lose substantial amounts.

We will be expanding the MadCapX tier levels sometime this month. Tier levels will be number-based and no longer have names. For existing members, you will be transferred to the matching new tier at the corresponding reward level. You may ask how many tier levels there will be... but that is a secret that can only be found out by leveling up. We are also changing it so that you will no longer hold multiple tier levels, but instead have just one which is automatically calculated and checked every day from the total in your vault and listed holdings. You will be able to list external holding wallet addresses with at least 1000 MADX or higher. Rewards will continue to be given out on the first of every month.

During the month, do not worry if the panel stops working and you see the message "MadcapX is currently down for maintenance." as that just means we have temporarily turned off functionality for members while system changes are being performed. We will probably be taking the system down multiple times for varying time spans. If you come across any issues, please inform us via our contact form or in Discord.

Happy investing,
