Bitcoin Acquires Over 50 Percent Crypto Market Share

Bitcoin Acquires Over 50 Percent Crypto Market Share
There’s no denying that Bitcoin rules the entire Cryptocurrency landscape. With a market cap of nearly $37.5 billion, it’s still way ahead of the other popular altcoins like Litecoin, Ripple and Monero. However, many people were of the opinion that the magic of Bitcoin is somehow fading especially with the emergence of new cryptocurrencies like Ethereum that took the whole world by storm in the recent years. For the first time in history, the share of Bitcoin had dropped down to 46 percent in the Crypto Market. But after a bumpy trip, the Bitcoin has made a solid comeback acquiring more than 50% of the Crypto Market Share once again.
 

The Downfall of Ripple
The world famous altcoin, Ripple had been on a magical journey several weeks backs. Lately, the market cap of Ripple had gone beyRead more at - http://www.oodlestechnologies.com/blogs/Bitcoin-Acquires-Over-50-Percent-Crypto-Market-Shareond $17 billion swallowing over 25 percent of the market share. However, the last one week has been awful for Ripple as it has lost more than 60 percent of its value in terms of BTC. The market cap of Ripple has also fallen sharply and it now adds up to $8.83 billion. The downfall of Ripple is one of the major driving factors behind the Bitcoin acquiring the 50 percent share in the crypto market once again.  


The Rat Race Continues
Despite of being the world’s most extensively used Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin faces immense competition from the other popular Altcoins as already told. While on one hand, the BTC price is rising beyond expectations, it’s also losing its charm as the new Altcoins are getting more and more popular. Also, some persisting issues in Bitcoin have long been avoided, the most severe one of which is the scaling difficulty due to block size limit. Due to scaling issues, the Bitcoin transactions are continuously being delayed which has also led to an increase in the transaction fees. This is one of the reasons why the Bitcoin users are moving toward the other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin price today, has reached an all-time-high. However, you might not have noticed yet the price of almost all the popular Altcoins is rising. Ethereum is leading the race with a whopping price value of $208 at the time of writing and the market cap of the latter has also reached $19 billion. With this, Ethereum alone acquires more than 20 percent of the total Crypto market share.

The New Apple TV Requires 25Mbps For 4K Streaming

Apple TV 4K
It’s been several years since the 4K streaming was introduced in the worldwide market. While all the leading streaming service providers such as Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Roku have had the 4K integration about a year ago, Apple has finally rendered support for the same with the launch of its brand new Apple TV also known as Apple TV 4K. Being the fourth generation to the Apple’s elite class streaming player lineup, there are huge expectations from this OTT streaming device. Of course, it’s the first one of the Apple TV products to offer 4K streaming and HDR display that gives a stunning visual appeal to the pictures you see on your TV.

It’s quite obvious that for streaming media content in 4K UHD, you need an exceptionally fast internet connection. Usually the 4K streaming can be attained at an average connection speed of 15-20 Mbps. But for a seamless streaming experience, Apple recommends a minimum speed of 25 Mbps for its new Apple TV 4K.

What If Your Internet Connection Speed Drops?
Apple has imposed a minimum internet connection speed of 25 Mbps for 4K UHD streaming through Apple TV 4K on all the 4K supported television sets. This means if your internet speed drops and goes below the threshold, your Apple TV will automatically switch the streaming settings to normal depending on the speed of your internet connection. All this is mentioned in the support document released by Apple quite recently.

 
How To Find 4K Videos On iTunes Store?
The 4K videos are played in the highest resolution that is currently available. While the normal HD videos support a resolution of 1920x1080, 4K videos are played in 3840x2160 thereby offering a more detailed and sharper imagery. Besides, the HDR support provides a wide gamut of colors with high luminance and vibrancy. If you have previously purchased an HD video from the iTunes Store, then it may or may not play in 4K with HDR10 imagery. But you can easily find new videos on the iTunes Store that support 4K resolution. As a matter of fact, all the movies and videos available on the iTunes Store can be played in high definition. Some videos may also support Dolby Vision and HDR10 display. When you buy or rent a movie from the iTunes Store, it is automatically played in the best resolution supported on your TV. So if your TV is 4K compatible, it will automatically play a movie in 4K resolution or the best quality that is available for that particular movie.

The New Google Maps Update Lets You Find Parking Spot

The New Google Maps Update Lets You Find Parking Spot
In the bustling streets and busy roads, it’s never easy to find a parking spot. We often see people struggling to find a parking space in the metropolitan cities like New York, L.A and Chicago. This is perhaps the most annoying thing to do especially when you are already getting late. Google Maps however, has something up for you that can make it a lot easier. The new Maps update allows Android users to find a nearby parking place on the go.

While navigating towards a destination, the app shows you a list of all the parking lots and garages that fall in the vicinity. You can find this list by tapping on the newly added Find Parking option on the Directions card. Once you have found a parking spot, it is automatically added to your trip. After you have safely parked your car, it also shows you the walking directions towards your destination. With this new update, Google has also revamped the Parking Difficulty Icons that were introduced earlier this year in 25 top metropolitan cities of the world. This stunning feature lets you check the availability of parking space on a location even before you are headed to that particular place. You can also save your parking location on the app just like before.


Support And Availability
The Parking Difficulty feature was launched by Google for its Maps application earlier this year in the month of January. It is available on Android and iOS platforms. The feature was initially launched in the United States but Google has now expanded to 25 other cities. These are some of the world’s most popular metropolitan cities like London, Manchester, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Vancouver, Rome, Paris, Milan and Rio De Janeiro.
On contrary to this, Find Parking feature is launched quite recently and is available only in the 25 cities of the United States including New York, Boston, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston, Orlando, San Diego and San Francisco. Also, it has only arrived on the Android platform as of now and it’s still uncertain when this would be coming to the iOS version of the app.

 
How It Works?
To provide a high level of accuracy, Google is using advanced Machine Learning algorithms and historical parking data. Based on that, it makes highly accurate predictions about the availability of a free parking spot. The parking difficulty depends on various factors like the type of area, time, crowd density of the area and the real-time traffic data gathered from the drivers roaming in that area at a particular time.
