To help traders get more cryptocurrencies, Bexplus, the leading crypto derivatives exchange, launched 2 events for new users.
1.Get 100,000 Dogecoins for free. (As long as you are a new user who tops up 0.02 btc during the event, you can get 1,000 Dogecoins for free. As long as you make a profit for 3 consecutive days, you can get 10,000 Dogecoins.) View the event details and get it
2. 100% deposit bonus. (If you deposit 0.1 BTC, 0.2 BTC will be credited to your account. Each user can get up to 10 BTC per deposit.)
Bitcoin’s high volatility had made a comeback and currently presents more opportunities for traders to make profits. Taking advantage of the price swings and leverage offered by brokers, trading can easily generate 100% or even 1,000% ROI.
It’s important to point out only traders who know what they are doing can get to these returns consistently.
How Does Leveraged Trading Work?
Assume we use 1 BTC to open a long contract when Bitcoin is trading at $10,000. Please note that with 100x leverage, 1 BTC can open a contract worth 100 BTC.
One day later, the price of Bitcoin increase to $10,500.The profit will be ($10,500 – $10,000) * 100 BTC/$10,500 *100% = 4.76 BTC, making the ROI 476%.
Now, with Bexplus’ 100% bonus, our initial investment would be 2 BTC, and our realized profit made with these 2 BTC will be 9.52 BTC, and the ROI will also be doubled to 952%.
With leverage, it’s important to be vigilant, as returns can be outstanding, but liquidations are easier if the price moves down.
Why choose Bexplus?
Bexplus is a leading crypto derivatives platform offering 100x leverage in BTC, ETH, EOS, LTC, and XRP futures contracts. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Bexplus is trusted by over 100K traders around the world, including the USA, Japan, Korea, and Iran.

She is the founder of Crypto Queens, a Facebook group dedicated to “helping and empowering women to build a digital empire using the crypto currency platform”. Sharing her personal experience, Imeleta showed that getting started with cryptos does not have to be scary or complicated.

Opportunities for Women in Bitcoin and Crypto
After a short break, Hannah Tan facilitated a discussion titled “Opportunities for Women in Bitcoin and Crypto”. Three ladies involved in the crypto industry joined her in the panel: Imeleta Lia-Norris, Danielle Marie (Creator of She’s Blockchain Savy) and Chloe Fitzgerald (Senior Communication Manager at Elevate Communication).
The panel discussed crypto and blockchain use cases, highlighting the potential for driving women’s economic empowerment worldwide – enabling women to access financial services, manage payments and keep business and personal records.

100 more nodes launched for a total of 6,400 ETH valued at approx. $11M now staked.
Silver Spring, MD – (Globe Newswire – March 11, 2021) – BTCS Inc (OTCQB: BTCS) (“BTCS” or the “Company”), a digital asset and blockchain technology focused company, today announced it further expanded its transaction verification services operation on Ethereum 2.0 to 200 nodes. The Company expects the additional 100 nodes will begin generating revenue by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
“With a significantly strengthened balance sheet from the recent $9.5 million capital raise, we are well- positioned to accelerate revenue growth from our transaction verification services business and have already doubled our Ethereum 2.0 staking operation to 200 nodes,” stated Charles Allen, Chief Executive Officer of BTCS. “With financial returns superior to traditional bitcoin mining, our staking operation strategy will drive strong near-term revenue growth while being more profitable than resource intensive proof-of-work mining and opening the door to other revenue generating operations such as staking as a service.”
On December 1, 2020, Ethereum began transitioning to a “proof-of-stake” protocol, Ethereum 2.0. Under the “proof-of-stake” consensus algorithm, ETH holders have the exclusive right to operate validator nodes on the network and verify transactions, thereby earning transaction fees for their work. In early March 2021, Ethereum blockchain developers approved EIP 1559, one of the biggest changes to the network since its 2015 inception, that will reduce the supply of the Ether cryptocurrency when effective in August 2021, a move likely to prompt price increases as user demand grows. BTCS is the first U.S. public company to run validator nodes on Ethereum 2.0.
Allen continued “With more than $8 million in cash and approximately $14.5 million in crypto currencies, we have a solid financial foundation to accelerate the execution of our vision.”
About BTCS
BTCS is an early entrant in the digital asset market and one of the first U.S. publicly traded companies focused on digital assets and blockchain technologies. The Company through its transaction verification services business actively verifies and validates blockchain transactions and is rewarded with digital assets for its work. The Company is also developing a proprietary digital asset data analytics platform that allows users to consolidate their crypto trades from multiple exchanges onto a single platform, enabling users to view and analyse their performance, risk metrics, and potential tax implications. The Company employs a digital asset treasury strategy with a primary focus on disruptive non-security protocol layer assets such as bitcoin and Ethereum. For more information visit: www.btcs.com.
