The underlying theory behind the Elliott wave principle is based around how price moves, which typically is not in a straight line, but in a series of waves. A great analogy would be one that compares an ocean tide coming in as the water rises, and flowing out as the water recedes into the sand below. Within any financial market (including cryptocurrency), every action creates an equal and opposite reaction. When price movement moves up, a contrary downward movement must follow.

These repeating patterns have been shown to occur within all financial marketplaces since the dawn of time. A man by the name of Ralph Nelson Elliott, first discovered these repeating patterns, known as impulsive and corrective waves. He noticed that these impulsi...

A blockchain is roughly composed of four modules in terms of its hierarchy: Consensus engine Scripting and virtual execution environment Transactions, block and chain logics Peer-to-peer network Most research on associated topics has engrossed on the consensus engine (to improve transaction throughput) and the scripting language (to make blockchains more useful), leaving the properties of peer-to-peer network largely unexplored. The security properties of a blockchain actually hinges on the peer-to-peer network. Research on eclipse attack was started by Ethan Heilman, Alison Kendler, Aviv Zohar, and Sharon Goldberg in 2015. Their research illustrated the first attack against Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer network by controlling hundreds of nodes, which is modeled as an unstructured random graph in their research paper. Another interesting research paper titled “Low-Resource Eclipse Attacks on Ethereum’s Peer-to-Peer Network” demonstrated the feasibility of launching eclipse attac...
