Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin Sees First Profit of the Week, Most Altcoins Reflect Losses

Bitcoin on Thursday, September 28 reeled-in the first ever profit of this week so far. The small gain of 0.43 percent for Bitcoin, took its trading value to the mark of $26,355 (roughly Rs. 21.9 lakh). In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin rose in price by $175 (roughly Rs. 14,557). As per industry experts, the markets are calling for a $30,000 (roughly Rs. 24.9 lakh) price mark for BTC soon. Till that happens however, the support level at $26,000 (roughly Rs. 21.6 lakh) must be maintained to expect an upside movement in the short-term, experts say.

Ether minted 0.73 percent in profits on Thursday. At the time of writing, Ether was trading at the price point of $1,604 (roughly Rs. 1.33 lakh). Following Bitcoin's trajectory, Ether also rose in value by $13 (roughly Rs. 1,081) over the last day.

Other cryptocurrencies that joined BTC and ETH on the upward curve today include Solana, Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink, Stellar, Monero, Binance USD as well as Bitcoin SV.

Some underdog cryptocurrencies that saw profits today also include Neo Coin, Iota, Ardor, and Gas.

“The (in)famous coin Terra LUNA or LUNA2 (+20.50 percent) has been pumping. This price action is being attributed to LUNA's community passing a proposal that makes them move away with the minting of new USTC stablecoins, which was the supposed-to-be stable coin of the Terra Luna ecosystem, UST. In addition, the Chainlink token has also been up by close to 30 percent in the last 15 days as its flagship crypto event SmartCon is getting closer. SmartCon is scheduled to happen on October 2 and 3 in Barcelona, Spain with side activities starting as soon as 30th September,” Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk told Gadgets 360.

The overall crypto market cap rose by 0.55 percent in the last 24 hours but remained unchanged value-wise. For the third consecutive day, the crypto market valuation stands at $1.05 trillion (roughly Rs. 87,34,099 crore) as per CoinMarketCap.

Among cryptocurrencies that recorded losses today, Tether, Binance Coin, Ripple, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Tron marked their names.

Polkadot, Polygon, Litecoin, Shiba Inu, Avalanche, Cosmos, and Uniswap also found themselves on the loss-making side of the crypto price chart.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
