Comments indicate that El Salvador continues to buy bitcoin dips to help Coinbase sign a technology development contract for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Here are some highlights from the crypto market.
Bitcoin news
Despite warnings from global authorities about the acceptance of Bitcoin (BTC), the government of El Salvador continues to seize the opportunities that the market offers.
When the price of Bitcoin fell below $ 46,000 on Monday morning, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced on Twitter that the country had a “buy dip”.
They can never beat you if you buy the dips.

With 150 new coins, the country’s government in Central America currently holds 700 BTC, currently valued at nearly $ 32 million.
El Salvador’s introduction of Bitcoin has wowed the crypto universe, especially with its tax-free event for Bitcoin investors.
In addition to protests and marches against the government’s move to approve Bitcoin, rating agency Standard and Poor’s Global (S&P) said the introduction was having a “negative impact” on the country’s creditworthiness. S&P also claimed the move would hurt El Salvador’s chances of getting a $ 1 billion loan deal from the International Monetary Fund.
El Salvador made history by becoming the first country to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender on September 7th. At the time, the government held 400 BTC. By benefiting from two price drops in the past two weeks and buying 150 more coins each, El Salvador has increased its bitcoin holdings to 700 BTC.
The wallet with the amount of Bitcoin 9 years ago has awakened.
Another Bitcoin wallet that was last used in the early days was activated this year.
Data shared by the crypto tracking service Whale Alert shows that in the past 24 hours, an additional wallet of Bitcoins bought or mined 9 years ago was awakened after a long period of inactivity.

Ripple News
The proposal to lower the minimum reserve requirement of the XRP ledger from 20 XRP to 10 XRP was passed after several weeks of voting.
To combat malicious attacks, the protocol requires holding a certain number of tokens in order to open new accounts on the ledger.
I am now personally advocating lowering the XRPL reserves from 20/5 to 10/2. (I haven’t discussed this with anyone at Ripple. (When I think about it, I probably should have.) It’s my personal position.)

Reserve requirements can be changed if there is consensus among the trusted validators on the network. These adjustments are needed if the XRP price increases significantly.
In addition, the obligation to reserve each address (payment channel, check, etc.) is reduced to 2 XRP instead of the previous 5 XRP.
News Cardano
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently mock one of the viewers of his Q&A session when he mentioned the idea of destroying part of Cardano’s offering due to scarcity.
Hoskinson believes this suggestion was due to the “greed and stupidity” of the users.
Hoskinson went on to liken burning coins to stealing groceries from a supermarket, filling up gasoline from someone else’s car, or robbing someone’s wife.
Cardano has a maximum offer of 45 billion ADA and some critics think this is too high. For comparison: Bitcoin’s offer is set at 21 million coins.
News Polkadex
On September 29th, the development team will publicly present the Polkadex blockchain, on which Polkadex products will be built and published one after the other.
The mainnet release brands Milestones most important to the Polkadex project and the community. From September 29th, anyone can earn PDEX and secure the network by running a validator node or staking their PDEX and nominating validators.
Coinbase news
The leading US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has signed a technology development contract with the Department of Homeland Security worth $ 1.36 million.
follow agree, Coinbase has signed an agreement to provide “application development software” to the US Immigration and Customs Service (ICE).
