Today Telegram has provided access to a test version of the TON network to a limited number of professional teams.

It seems that the cryptocurrency community will see the finished version of the TON network in the near future. At least the "Vedomosti" Russian news agency reported this, citing information from two sources.

Winnie Lingham, general partner of Multicoin Capital and the head of Civic, believes that if the Bitcoin rate rises above $ 6.200, this will signal the beginning of a new cycle in the bull market.

"That said, if we can break $6.200 for BTC, it will likely mark the start of another major bull run and could run hot and high, but if it's pure speculation and other assets benefit disproportionately to value created, it's likely not going to end well again," Lingham said.

Chinese cryptocurrency billionaire Zhao Dong expressed the opinion that the "bearish" market is not over yet and the rate of Bitcoin will not exceed the mark of $ 6,000 for most of 2019.

Zhao Dong believes that the price of Bitcoin will be within the channel $ 4,000- $ 6,000 at least until October of this year. As for the recent rise in the price of the first cryptocurrency, the rate is still in this channel.

Throughout the existence of Bitcoin, it was repeatedly called a bubble. This was also the case in the period of super-fast growth in 2017, when many economists claimed that the bubble would pop soon.

However, according to Ran NeuNer, the host of the Crypto Trader program on CNBC, not one bubble can pop twice.

Lead Monero developer Riccardo Spagni said that Bitcoin will always have competitors, but it can become the global reserve currency.

Spagni stressed that Bitcoin will never remain the only cryptocurrency, as this contradicts the very nature of human society, where struggle and competition are inevitable.

The head of the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange, Brian Armstrong, believes that in order to take digital assets, it is necessary to reduce volatility, as well as to improve the scalability and use of coins.

Well-known entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos said that in order to use Bitcoin in the financial sector, it is necessary to develop scenarios for its practical application.

Antonopoulos believes that one day the time will come when the first cryptocurrency will take the place of the current banking system based on fiat payments. However, for this, average consumers must understand the advantages of Bitcoin and thoroughly explore the options for using it.

The privacy of digital data on the network is the salient feature to P2PS secure, interference-free communications system developed by P2P Solutions Foundation.

The privacy of digital data on the global network finds a new competitor in the crypto universe. From the outset, the team of P2P Solutions Foundation points out a clear global problem; anything that is digitally exchanged with anyone, anywhere, is not protected by any privacy standard. Including information exchanged on corporate networks (private intranets). Right now the vast majority of Internet and Intranet activity is constantly monitored. At certain bottlenecks, the tracked information may be sensitive to the parties. In this way, new models are needed in which the activity is properly protected.

Tom Lee, co-founder of the US research company Fundstrat Global Advisors, expressed the opinion that the price of Bitcoin should be at around $14,000.

According to Google Trends, the number of search queries with the word "Bitcoin" increased three times after a sharp jump in the price of the first cryptocurrency recorded at the beginning of the week.

According to Google Trends, the largest number of requests made from Nigeria, the Netherlands, South Africa, Austria and Switzerland. In the United States, information about Bitcoin most often sought in California, Washington, Nevada, New York, and Colorado.
