Bitcoin Price Climbs 3% on US Shutdown and Yields Gloom, But Bitcoin Minetrix Raises $200,000 and Is the Real Winner

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Bitcoin price is defying macro gloom to put on a 3% gain as it recaptures $27,000, but it is yield-bearing Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX) that’s raised $200,000 and could be the biggest winner.

Bitcoin, after briefly slipping below $25k last month and struggling to make headway since peaking at 27,431 on September 19th, is threatening to retake that near-term high.

The move higher has been assisted by a confluence of factors and comes despite gathering storm clouds in the stock and bond markets.

Also, although equities had a green session on Thursday, it comes on the back of a negative week.

The S&P500 has fallen from 4,452 to 4,296, and the Nasdaq Composite slid 500 points, from 13,714 to 13,200. Meanwhile, US 10-Year Treasury yields continue their march higher, now at 4.66%.

And then there is US interest rates at 5.25-5.5% despite the Fed pause, making all risk assets look less attractive, plus a surging US dollar to factor in too.

Bitcoin teasing that it is a safe haven play after all?

Markets worry that US inflation will be stickier than hoped and that a soft landing could be for the birds. The weakening of the narrowly based bullish sentiment that has seen the Nasdaq make a 20% advance this year, has been evident for a few weeks now.

Fed chairman Jerome Powell’s speech on Thursday has done little to calm nerves.

The past few days have seen the gloom merchants come to the fore as a shutdown of the government looms and the real estate debt crisis deepens in China.

But the past few days have seen the gloom merchants come to the fore as a shutdown of the government looms and the real estate debt crisis deepens in China.

Against this backdrop, Bitcoin appears to be gaining in strength, although it is too early to say whether some safe-haven inflows are behind the improvement.

But when the ratings agencies start to talk about US debt losing its top-tier rating, fears of a recession mounting, the auto industry strike spreading, oil prices heading back to $100, and core inflation remaining as sticky as ever, the green shoots in the Bitcoin market are even more noticeable.

Add to the mix that good news for Coinbase – it needs some – came when it received permission to offer crypto futures trading to its non-US customers.

US competitor exchange Kraken announcing it planned to open its door to stock traders may have added to the positive vibes, although that development could be read as a sign of desperation on Kraken’s part as it scrabbles around for revenue.

What’s good for Bitcoin is good for crypto, and especially Bitcoin derivative coins like Bitcoin Minetrix

Bitcoin remains the bellwether of the crypto industry, so generally speaking, there tends to be a positive correlation between it and all other assets.

However, that correlation is magnified for so-called Bitcoin derivative and clone coins, of which Bitcoin Minetrix is the latest of the crop.

When Bitcoin does well, so do the likes of longstanding forked clones like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV, as well as new upstarts such as the HPOS10I (BITCOIN) meme coin, Bitcoin 2.0 and BTC20.

Bitcoin Minetrix is different from all those aforementioned coins though, because of its tangible connection with the Bitcoin network.

Its use case is to contribute to the hash power of the network by marshaling the collective might of retail investors – or stakers – to earn credits that can then be deployed in cloud mining Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Minetrix is the first stake-to-mine platform in crypto. There are certainly plenty of cloud-mining outfits out there, but none are fully decentralized. BTC Minetrix’s unique selling point is in effectively tokenizing cloud mining and harnessing the many advantages that it gives it over competitors.

Bitcoin Minetrix banishes fraudsters, makes mining Bitcoin cheaper and safer for all

With Bitcoin Minetrix there is no need to worry about fraud because everything is handled on-chain, and no cash changes hands.

Bear in mind, too, that Bitcoin Minetrix’s smart contract is fully audited by Coinsult – it passed with no major issues.

Smart contract automation makes withdrawal of funds super easy, as does earning credits and empowering individual stakers to decide how much mining they want to engage in and when.

Bitcoin Minetrix takes the complication and expense out of mining. You don’t need to understand how difficulty is calculated or how to keep your client software up to date.

What’s more, there’s no need to make a considerable capital outlay and be exposed to the risk of making a loss on your business undertaking.

Better than Bitcoin because Bitcoin Minetrix is a yield-bearing hedge where you can reinvest mining profits

But where does the Bitcoin and Macro interplay come into the picture, you might ask? Well, it comes down to bond yields.

Rising bond yields make non-yield-bearing assets less appealing. At the present time, lenders are demanding a higher return for buying US government debt. Among the biggest holders of US debt is China. Given the geopolitical uncertainties and tension, that relationship may not end well.

The price of bonds, which move inversely to yields, are going down because there are fewer buyers when inflation is high, cutting into fixed-income asset returns.

Now consider the economics of Bitcoin Minetrix. While Bitcoin has no yield-bearing property, Bitcoin Minetrix does.

However, in addition to token stakers earning a yield paid out of the tokens allocated for community rewards, they also earn credits that are then invested in cloud mining bitcoin.

https://twitter.com/bitcoinminetrix/status/1706639837304881263

Bitcoin Minetrix is in essence reinvesting dividends, the most powerful mechanism for wealth creation in finance.

Against the backdrop of rising yields, stocks, and in particular higher-risk growth stocks, become a riskier proposition, which is why the smart money looks for opportunities to lock in income streams.

Still, you don’t just want any old bond – Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are the ones to hold because they are index-linked.

But you could go one better and hold BTCMTX token and get an income stream plus capital appreciation and a built-in mechanism that reinvests your dividends.

Bitcoin Minetrix tokens do not have the indexation of TIPS, but arguably, they achieve pretty much the same thing via staking and cloud mining.

And if you just want a safe way to get into Bitcoin mining and all the rest is just cherry on the cake, then Bitcoin Minetrix really is the standout solution. Crypto analyst Michael Wrubel told his 300k YouTube subscribers pretty much exactly that in his latest video.

Insurance Third Party Administrator Market Drivers, Challenges, Future Outlook and Opportunities:

In terms of revenue, North America dominated the insurance third-party administrator market share, followed by APAC and Europe. The insurance third-party administrator market in North America is subsegmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US is anticipated to hold the largest market share in the region in 2031. In the US, there are three main insurance sectors: property/casualty (P/C), i.e., mainly auto, home, and commercial insurance; life/annuity, mainly life insurance and annuity products; and private health insurance. Such a vast industry generates the demand for third-party administrator services in the country. The third-party administrators in the country are engaged in various strategies to reach more customers. For example, in January 2024, Rokstone, a specialty insurance and reinsurance managing general agency and a part of the Aventum Group, launched a new third-party administrator service based in Kentucky. Rokstone’s new Verus TPA manages Rokstone’s agricultural claims in the US.

As countries grow and people gain more discretionary income, they are more likely to be able to afford and recognize the value of insurance products such as life, health, and property insurance plans. This is especially true for a burgeoning middle class striving for financial stability. People are becoming increasingly conscious of the possibility of financial loss due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, accidents, or natural catastrophes. As a result, individuals, businesses, and other entities seek insurance policies to safeguard themselves from the repercussions, which fuels the demand for insurance solutions that can assist in managing these risks. According to the Federal Insurance Office (FIO), the US had 667 licensed L&H insurers, 2,656 P&C insurers, and 1,355 health in 2022. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the insurance industry is one of the premium segments seeing significant expansion in India. This upward trend in the insurance sector can be ascribed to rising revenues and increased awareness of the profession. India has the sixth-largest life insurance market among emerging economies, growing at a pace of 32–34% per year. In recent years, the industry has experienced vigorous competition among rival businesses. Moreover, the insurance sector faces numerous constraints, including highly dynamic regulatory complications, which present organizations with considerable threats to financial and operational stability. Thus, the ongoing proliferation of the insurance industry is creating opportunities for the growth of the insurance third-party administrator market.

Conclusion:

A Third Party administrator is an entity that handles administrative and operational tasks associated with an insurance plan. Administrative duties frequently include processing claims, enrolling consumers, and collecting premiums, adhering to federal rules. Third Party administrators do not create the policies of health insurance plans, but they help guarantee their implementation. A single Third-Party administrator may work with multiple insurers. While Third Party administrators are typically linked with health insurance, they are employed in a wide range of other segments of the insurance industry. Commercial liability insurers and retirement plan administrators frequently hire Third Party administrators to serve as claims adjusters or customer service representatives. Third Party administrator companies can be major multinational corporations, while individuals having Third Party administrator certification can also work as independent contractors.

The insurance claim process can be complex and time consuming. In such cases, a Third Party administrator can help policyholders claim benefits. The administrators guide policyholders throughout the claim procedure and file claims on their behalf. Once a claim is filed, the Third-Party administrator will investigate and verify it. Further, their services can be tailored to a wide range of needs. Moreover, insurers can customize their agreements made with Third Party administrators based on their specific needs. Other noteworthy offerings of administrator services include health benefits reporting and analytics, adjudicating claims, customer service for plan members, healthcare provider network access, detailed healthcare expense reporting, and collaborations with brokers and health insurance consultants.
