*What Have Caused the Increase of Ether Crypto-Currency

As you can remember, crypto-currency Ether has been created by the company "Ethereum" to provide payments for some computing services. It is more "fuel" for platform functioning, than money. This platform is designed for the functioning of the computer programs that assure the implementation of agreements and automatically control them.

After launching their project in 2014, the authors of "Ethereum" have achieved a rapid growth of Ether price. The peak of growth has occurred at the end of year 2015 and the beginning of 2016. This crypto-currency has risen by 75% and the trading volume reached 11,6 million dollars. Due to the volume of the market capitalization which reached 190 million dollars, Ether took the second place after Bitcoin, together with Ripple.

So what has caused so dramatic increase? According to the information shared by the portal Finance Magnates, it is connected with the rumors that Ether is included into the Chinese crypto-currency exchange. In addition to this, the popularity of Ether can be explained by the fact that this crypto-currency was successfully integrated into one of the most popular world systems. Altogether, this gives grounds for the further Ether growth.

*Mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto

Everyone who knows about crypto-currency existence have heard about Satoshi Nakamoto at least once. If you are new to this field, here's a small entry for you.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym of a person or group of people who created Bitcoin in 2009. Satoshi Nakamoto not only programmed crypto-currency, he (or they?) created the community, developed the main principles of its functioning, stated the basic rules of Bitcoin circulation. And disappeared. Well, if we can say so about a person no one could ever see.

Despite the fact that Bitcoin is totally independent from its creator, the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto haunts many journalists and those interested in the field of crypto-currency.

However, latest news show the big progress in this mystery investigation. And, studying the facts, the assumption looks quite convincingly. So, here is what I'm talking about.

Two big portals Wired and Gizmodo announced that due to the results of their investigation, Satoshi Nakamoto is Australian entrepreneur Craig Steven Wright. Reporters have found quite a lot of evidences, confirming this assumption, however, they still cannot be 100% sure.

The mystery becomes even more dramatic after the suggestion of Mr. Chowdhry, the professor of finance at UCLA, to nominate Satoshi Nakamoto for the Nobel Prize in economics. However, it cannot be awarded to the unknown person under the pseudonym, as you can guess. This means that reporters will try their best to identify Satoshi Nakamoto.

What is interesting, the identity of Bitcoin creator means nothing to the crypto-currency itself. The main idea of crypto-currency is its decentralization, which makes it independent of its creator. The Bitcoin code is open, so anyone could see it and suggest improvements. Actually, from 2009, Bitcoin code had around 10 thousand accepted modifications from different users. Now, one can say that Nakamoto is no more the Bitcoin creator - the initial code, remaining in the "project", is only 20%, everything else has been changed and improved by the public.

Now the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is important for the crypto-currency community only because he holds a substantial amount of Bitcoins and can influence a market by moving a large supply at once. However, some people believe that Nakamoto would never do this, since such move will not only expose his identity, but also would have a negative impact on his invention - Bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto protects his anonymity brilliantly, however, "... there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open".

*How to Earn on Bitcoin

These days, the Internet offers multiple opportunities to earn. Very often, you even don’t need any specific skills, just time and wish to work. Crypto-currencies are a relatively new field, but many people are already using it to earn sufficient sums. Here are some methods to use Bitcoin for your enrichment.

Mining. Creation of new Bitcoins (or other crypto-currencies) is called mining. For that, you need a specific program on your computer and powerful equipment. The better is your equipment, the more coins you will be able to produce. This method requires the initial investment, and only then you will probably receive a feedback.

Personal exchange. You can become an intermediary between crypto-currency and paper money (or digital wallets like PayPal) transactions. You will earn on the commission in exchange. Still, this method needs initial funds as well.

Forex exchange. The trading is similar to one of the ordinary currency exchange, but you will trade with crypto-currencies. This method of earning requires not only the initial investment, but also some specific skills and knowledge, like acquaintance with forex functioning, skills of fundamental and technical analysis, etc.

Storing. You just buy some coins and keep them till they become more expensive. Then sell. However, you have to study the market, analyze the tendencies, buy the proper crypto-currency, and only then, if you understood the market properly, you will get a profit. So, initial capital and some analytic skills are needed.

Selling some products/services. You can sell some items for crypto-currencies, especially if you already have some online market, or offer some services via Internet. This will help you to broaden your audience and attract new clients to your business. It’s clear that this way of earning on Bitcoin requires a sufficient base.

Online casino and lottery. Many websites are starting to offer services for crypto-currencies, since gambling for real money is strictly regulated and needs a quite expensive licensing. This way, you can try your luck in casino games, lottery, betting, or poker, for instance. Besides initial capital, common sense and luck are needed.

Bitcoin faucet. Easy way to earn some coins. You just visit a website called Bitcoin (or Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc.) faucet, follow the instructions – usually it requires entering a captcha, or playing a simple game - and get some very small amount of crypto-coins (called Satoshi). This way of earning is totally free, doesn’t require any skills, just time. However, you won’t earn much even if you browse through Bitcoin faucets all day long. Still, once again, it’s free.

*Bitcoin Games

Among Bitcoin faucets separately stand those that offer crypto-currency reward for reaching a particular level, completed mission or fulfilling other game task. Usually, these are not big amounts in Satoshi (1 satoshi = 0.00000001 ฿), which can still be increased with the help of referral programs.

To understand the rules of such game types is not hard, the main point of such games is the following: you receive a certain task before you start playing, after you complete the task, you receive a reward. You can collect your funds by repeating your actions and withdraw your earnings to the Bitcoin faucets, or you can spend your money in the game, by improving the game buildings or equipment.

This is evident that to reach a certain level of profitability, one must spend some time in the game, gradually improving the available functionality, or invest some amount at once to reach higher earnings from the start. Usually, the interface of such games is simple and not overloaded with excessive details, everything is understandable on an intuitive level.

So, as we can see, there is a much better alternative to the trivial clicking and mechanic captcha typing on the traditional Bitcoin faucets, still, the aim of all faucets of all types is always the same – help users to receive free Bitcoins. The faucet websites themselves receive income from the demonstration of various ads, you have to remember about it and switch the ad blockers, if you use ones.

To receive free Bitcoins, you have to make three easy steps:

Step 1. Pass an easy registration

Step 2. Study closely the game rules

Step 3. Play and receive reward

If you’ve made everything right, enjoy the game process. And of course you should remember about money reward for patience and persistence.

*A Bit of Mystery with Bitcoin Faucets

For the uninitiated the word “crypto-currency” looks very mysterious and sapient. Really, doesn’t the notion – digital currency, the emission and accounting of which are based on the asymmetric coding – sound like a curse? At one time the famous fantasy author Arthur Clark wrote that the highly developed technology would be hard to differ from magic. But if you dip a bit, everything becomes more comprehensive, still, the sense of participation in informational wonders remains.

When we receive more knowledge about the first digital currency Bitcoin and about the possibilities it opens, we want to get some amount of these coins in our account at once. A bit earlier, at the beginning of the digital money epoch, it was profitable to be engaged in crypto-currency mining – providing the powers of your computer for the needs of the Bitcoin calculating network. But since that time the difficulty of such mining has increased greatly and it is impossible to be engaged in this using your PC, even upgraded one.

The only way to get some free Bitcoins without serious financial expenses is visiting the pages with the so called faucets. On these websites, you can receive a certain amount of Satoshi (1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC), fulfilling the simple actions before that. The only condition of these resources is the existence of the personal Bitcoin wallet (which is easy to create, if you have Google as an assistant).

The typical order of actions on such websites is the following: entered a page, logged in, typed the address of your Bitcoin wallet, waited several minutes, typed a captcha to prove you are human being, took the reward by clicking the button. Since the payments are not big on faucet websites (usually several thousands of Satoshi), they are first transacted to the micropayment service Faucetbox. Here they are collected, and after a day or several days you can take the whole sum.

The websites of this type are really numerous at the network and it won’t take long to find them via Google. For the totally lazy users, there exist the specific lists of faucets. They all receive earnings from ads, placed on their pages, especially for the number of clicks per thousand views, so if you want, you can thank the resource by clicking ads. As a matter of fact, if the website gets bigger income, it can offer more generous rewards for you.
