? Cryptopia: From Zug To The Proposed Melaka Straits City – Can Blockchain Build A City?

There is no doubting that people have become quite tribal and patriotic to their selected cryptocurrencies. The original ‘civil war’ between Bitcoin and its fork Bitcoin Cash proved this. Many believed that BTC was no longer the real thing and jumped to a blockchain with bigger blocks, defendeding it vehemently.


This tribalism stems from what cryptocurrency can offer. It is a tool that has the potential to allow people to ‘move off the grid’ and become sustainable in an all together new economy that does not rely on banks, regulators, governments or other legacy institutions.


This utopic – or dystopic? – future seems a little out of the realms of possibility as it currently stands. Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies have, for the most part, realised that for adoption they need to be in line with regulators; but, there are areas, valleys, towns, and even cities looking to go full crypto on their own.

? Banking, Bitfinex and the Hidden Irony of Crypto’s Newest Controversy

When I visited some early bitcoin startups in Hong Kong five years ago, they were unanimous about their biggest challenge: finding a bank that would let them open an account.


It wasn’t that local banks were especially worried about this little-understood new industry. The issue was that compliance-obsessed correspondence banks in the U.S. were demanding that their counterparts in the territory apply an especially high “know-your-customer” standard for bitcoin businesses. Since Hong Kong banks couldn’t live without a dollar lifeline from New York, the path of least resistance was to say no.


That situation was a lesson about how the dollar’s reserve status leaves U.S. financial institutions, and the Washington regulators whose guidance they heed, exerting profound worldwide influence – in this case, constraining innovation, wherever it was happening.


? US Court Orders Craig Wright to Provide Bitcoin Ownership Records

The United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida issued an order on May 3 requiring self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto Craig Wright to produce a list of his public bitcoin (BTC) addresses.


The order is part of an ongoing case against Wright filed by the estate of computer scientist David Kleiman, which claims that Wright stole hundreds of thousands of BTC. The coins were worth over $5 billion dollars in February last year, when Kleiman’s estate first sued Wright.


The order illustrates a number of the plaintiffs’ requests. They ask the court to order Wright to produce a list of the public addresses of bitcoin he owned as of Dec. 31, 2013, make him identify all bitcoin allegedly transferred to a blind trust in 2011 and produce documents related to said trust.

? Top 5 Crypto Performers: ATOM, DASH, MIOTA, BTC, BCH

While markets have looked bullish this week following a sharp surge May 3, traders need to watch out for a correction in the next few days. This pullback will shake out the weak hands and will differentiate between different digital currencies. While some will lose only a part of their recent gains, others will plunge towards their lows again.


The stronger ones are likely to lead the next bull market in cryptocurrencies. Therefore, traders should buy strength after the pullback ends. If our assumption is correct, the current fall should offer a great opportunity to buy for the long-term. Our view will be invalidated if cryptocurrencies give up all the gains made over the past few weeks.


A survey by financial consultancy firm DeVere Group shows that 68% of high-net-worth individuals across the globe will have invested in cryptocurrencies by the end of 2022. One of the major reasons for investing in cryptocurrency is their borderless nature, which makes the assets available across the globe.

? ‘Not a White Paper’: Marketing Document Details $1 Billion Bitfinex Token Sale

New details are emerging about a planned $1 billion token sale to be held by iFinex, the parent company of Bitfinex and Tether, two cryptocurrency companies currently being sued by the state of New York for allegedly covering up a $850 million loss in customer funds.


Released today on Twitter by known company shareholder and over-the-counter trader Zhao Dong, a 3-page “marketing document” details the specifics of how the sale might ultimately take place, while noting throughout that it is not intended to be legally binding.


For example, the document makes explicit that it is “not a white paper,” meaning it does not provide technical specifics including which blockchain or blockchains the new cryptocurrency for sale will trade on, or the cryptographic specifics of how its code will enable peers to move and transfer funds.

? US District Attorney Seeks to Retain Defendant in Crypto Shadow Banking Case

The United States Attorney for the District of Arizona (DA) is seeking to retain a defendant in custody in a case of alleged shadow banking for cryptocurrency companies. In a court filing released on May 1, the DA states that they are concerned the accused will flee.


The filing follows the official announcement published by the Southern District of New York Attorney in April, ordering to charge an Arizona citizen Reginald Fowler and Israeli woman Ravid Yosef for allegedly operating an unlicensed money transferring business and bank fraud.


The recent filing asks the court to detain the defendant pending trial as he purportedly presents a risk of continued economic danger. Since the defendant purportedly has access to millions of dollars in bank accounts around the world and overseas ties that would facilitate the flight — among other factors — the Attorney office declares that the defendant poses a flight risk. The document specifically states:


“A consideration of the facts show that Defendant is a significant flight risk given his connections overseas, his financial means to support himself outside the United States, his disregard for this criminal investigation, and his potential involvement in other criminal activity.”

? Code For Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake Blockchain to Be Finalized Next Month

Code for ethereum’s highly-anticipated proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain is on course to be finalized as early as sometime next month.


In a bi-weekly call between ethereum developers, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said that code specifications for the first phase of ethereum’s transition to a proof-of-stake network were “on track” to be finalized by June 30. Such specifications are effectively blueprints for developers looking to work on ethereum’s next-generation blockchain.


“I’ve been continuing to fine comb Phase Zero in preparation for the spec freeze which we’re targeting for the 30th of June,” Drake remarked on the call. “We’re still very much on track. Still, [code] simplifications are coming through which is great and the process of fine combing is also for finding final bugs.”


? Microsoft Makes JPMorgan’s Quorum the Preferred Blockchain for Azure Cloud

Microsoft will promote JPMorgan Chase’s Quorum blockchain to the global tech giant’s business customers, the companies announced Thursday.


The Redmond, Washington-based software firm will support Quorum, JPM’s private enterprise version of ethereum, through Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, the firms said. They will look to support adoption of the network through their new partnership, after signing a memorandum of understanding.


As a result, Quorum “will become the first distributed ledger platform available through [the] Azure Blockchain Service, enabling J.P. Morgan and Microsoft customers to build and scale blockchain networks in the cloud,” the companies said in a press release.

? Indian Tech Firm Tech Mahindra to Combat Spam Phone Calls With Blockchain

Indian technology company Tech Mahindra will be implementing an anti-spam call solution powered by blockchain, Indian business daily Business Today reports on May 2.


This solution will allow phone companies to comply with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)’s regulations to protect mobile phone subscribers from unsolicited Commercial Communication (UCC), which will come into effect in the last week of May.


Rajesh Dhuddu, Global Practice Leader of Blockchain at Tech Mahindra said that the TRAI regulations will affect 800 million subscribers.

? The story of Crypto Capital’s dark past and its deep ties with the crypto industry

Crypto Capital is slowly emerging as the central bank of the crypto industry. It facilitated banking services from one end of the industry—major crypto businesses and exchanges including Binance, Kraken and BitMEX—to the other, including the now-defunct QuadrigaCX and a number of smaller companies implicated in money-laundering schemes and fraud. And according to the the New York Attorney General, it still serves crypto exchange Bitfinex, where by the end of 2018, it was managing more than $1 billion of the exchange’s client and customers funds.


Two people, allegedly related to Crypto Capital, were charged with money laundering on Tuesday. The feds claim that the pair ran a banking scheme for crypto companies, which involved Global Trading Solutions LLC—a company that has been identified as one of the shell companies owned by Crypto Capital, and used by Bitfinex. The scheme allegedly involved running a “shadow bank that processed hundreds of millions of dollars of unregulated transa

The BTC is helping us to go in the direction of our resistance line at 0.39$. Let’s hope we will be able to touch it soon and even break that line to allow STEEM to have back a correct value compared to other altcoins. We are not so far so everything is possible even the STEEM is used to make smaller UP than the BTC.So exactly like the BTC with its resistance line at 5400$, the STEEM has not been able to go touch its resistance line at 0.39$. This is not a good sign because if we don’t do it, we are doing lower highs which mean that the DROP is not yet finished. Let’s see if we will find the volume and the power to go touch that line and even break it or if the sellers are preparing to be back very soon.

? Square’s Bitcoin Revenue Jumped to $65.5 Million in Q1, Its Highest Ever

Payments company Square reported its first-quarter earnings today, revealing strong growth in bitcoin sales through its Cash app.


Founded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Square reported $65.5 million in bitcoin revenue for the first quarter of 2019. Bitcoin costs, however, are listed at $64.7 million in the unaudited quarterly report, for a bitcoin profit of roughly $832,000.

Those figures top previous all-time highs for Square: The fourth quarter of 2018 saw $52.4 million in bitcoin revenue and $490,000 in profit.

? CoinMarketCap to Remove Exchanges From Calculations If They Don’t Provide Mandatory Data

Crypto market cap tracker CoinMarketCap (CMC) will remove exchanges from its calculations if they fail to provide mandatory data by June, the firm wrote in its sixth anniversary blog post on May 1.


CoinMarketCap, a major source of data about all traded digital currencies, has made a series of announcements to celebrate its sixth birthday today.


As such, CMC has announced a brand new alliance called the Data Accountability & Transparency Alliance (DATA) in order to provide “greater transparency, accountability, and disclosure from projects in the crypto space.”


? Central Banks Settle Cross-Border Payments With Blockchain for First Time

The central banks of Canada and Singapore have concluded a trial of cross-border payments using blockchain technology and central bank digital currencies.


The Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) jointly announced Thursday that the successful trial – the first of its kind between two central banks – showed “great potential to increase efficiencies and reduce risks for cross-border payments.”


The effort saw BoC and MAS linking up their respective blockchain projects, Jasper and Ubin, which are built on two different blockchain networks: R3’s Corda and JPMorgan’s Quorum, respectively. The two networks were connected using a technique called hashed time-locked contracts and allowed direct Payment versus Payment (PvP) settlement without the use of an intermediary.

? Washington State Law Recognizes Blockchain Records as Legally Valid and Enforceable

The United States state of Washington has passed a bill that recognizes and protects the legal status of electronic records pertaining to distributed ledgers like blockchains. The bill, substitute senate bill 5638, was signed into effect by Governor Jay Inslee on April 26.


The original version of the bill had its first reading by the Washington state legislature on January 25, 2019. The bill has now passed with 96–1 and will go into effect in late July.


The new law has a clause which prevents discriminating against electronic records which have in some way been part of a distributed ledger:


“An electronic record may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is generated, communicated, received, or stored using distributed ledger technology.”

? Malware Shellbot is Now Capable of Shutting Down Other Miners

The Shellbot cryptojacking malware has gone through an update and come out with some new capabilities, technology news website TechCrunch reported on May 1.


Per the report, these findings come from Boston-based cybersecurity firm Threat Stack. The company claims that Shellbot, which was first discovered in 2005, has received a major update.


The original Shellbot was capable of brute-forcing the credentials of SSH remote access services on Linux servers protected by weak passwords. The malware then mines privacy-focused monero (XMR). Threat Stack claims that this new-and-improved version is capable of spreading through an infected network and shutting down other miners running on the same machines.

? Want to Understand Bitfinex? Understand Mt. Gox  

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes”


This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain. And while Bitfinex doesn’t exactly rhyme with Mt. Gox, there are several parallels in the stories of these two exchanges. People interested in understanding Bitfinex are well-served to understand what happened with Mt. Gox.


Bitfinex and Tether were investigated by the New York York Attorney General (NYAG). Here’s a synopsis for those unfamiliar with the story. Bitfinex is a cryptocurrency exchange, the owners of which also control Tether, issuer of the most popular stablecoin, known as tether or USDT. The NYAG accuses Bitfinex of losing over $800 million. It alleges the exchange tried to recoup those losses by dipping into the cash reserves of tether, the stablecoin its principals also control.


Indeed, those feelings would be quite valid. In the early days of crypto, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, known as Mt. Gox, also got into significant trouble due primarily to its banking relationships. It got so bad that in February of 2014, Mt. Gox stopped all trading and filed for bankruptcy protection. At the time, it claimed to have lost 624,408 BTC.

? Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Crypto Fund Lost $272.7 Million in 2018

Galaxy Digital Holdings, the crypto merchant bank founded by former hedge fund manager Michael Novogratz, lost $97 million in the fourth quarter, according to financials disclosed Monday.


The net loss widened from $76.7 million in the third quarter and from about $100,000 a year earlier, according to the filing with Canadian securities regulators. (Last February, New York-based Galaxy bought a Canadian publicly traded company in a reverse takeover.)


For all of 2018, its first full year of operation, the company lost $272.7 million.


? Nasdaq Adding Index for XRP Cryptocurrency to Global Data Service

A new proposal by Vitalik Buterin, the creator of ethereum, suggests he is considering increasing rewards for validators who would secure the operation of the next version of the world’s second-largest blockchain.


Ethereum 2.0 is by far the biggest upgrade on the horizon for the ethereum blockchain, today valued at $17.5 billion. Its broader goal is to erase ongoing bottlenecks to transaction throughput and significantly decrease costs on the network.

Rather than relying on a proof-of-work consensus protocol whereby miners compete to bundle together blocks of transactions and add them to the ever-growing chain, ethereum 2.0 will rely on a proof-of-stake consensus protocol whereby validators stake their own funds and attest to blocks and transactions being created on the network.

? Fundstrat’s Tom Lee Predicts New All-Time Highs for Crypto by 2020

Fundstrat Global Advisors founder Tom Lee has predicted that cryptocurrency prices will hit new historic highs by 2020. Lee delivered his comments during an interview with CNBC on April 28.


In the interview, Lee forecasted that bitcoin (BTC) has not completed its upward movement and will likely reach new all-time highs around 2020 based on “11 signs that historically only take place in a bull market.” Lee thusly reiterated his previous prognosis made earlier this month, when he said that “a bull market is likely starting.”


Lee explained that three out of those 11 signs — blockchain, technical indicators and trading volumes — indicate that the crypto winter has seen its end. In January, Lee’s team observed that trading volumes on the blockchain turned positive at an annual rate, while the second sign popped up in April, when BTC closed above its 200-day moving average.

? ICE’s Bakkt Announces Acquisition of Digital Asset Custody Company

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)-lead institutional cryptocurrency trading platform Bakkt has аcquired a crypto custodian service, the firm announced on April 29.


In a blog post, Bakkt announced a number of new measures in its apparent effort to stimulate regulatory feedback, including the acquisition of Digital Asset Custody Company (DACC).


While DACC’s native support of 13 blockchains and 100+ assets is designed to “serve as an important accelerator,” the entire DACC team will also be joining Bakkt, as former Coinbase exec and new Bakkt COO Adam White wrote in the blog post on Monday.

Daily Crypto Digest – 012

There is no doubting this anymore. Crypto investing and trading has reached a new level when we compare activities of the past few months to recent weeks.

What was expected after the recent FUD news involving the Bitfinex saga and its issuing of Tether was to see another big fall in price breaking the upper resistance line to new low resistance? But as we have it, the line is thicker than it looks and we haven’t found the real pressure to suppress and breakthrough it yet or better maybe it may never be touched again going into the future.

This show of resilience is a good pointer that indicates a near significant upturn of the market. B1 June announcement and the awaited Bakkt approval are two of the major events many are speculating should ignite the long-awaited bull market that seems to be taking forever.

Until that happens, the present market condition is a thing to be happy about.

Daily Crypto Digest – 011

It is now becoming clear more than ever, crypto dealings need some good regulations, the type that takes into consideration all parties involved.

Why am I calling out for this? Because there is a need to curb activities like wash trading, cartels, and pump and dump trading schemes.

The impact a balanced regulated framework can have may be an immediate game changer.

Although, the effect may progress steadily and slowly but should be a good solution in the long run.

Taking pumps and dumps as a good example. There was a noticeable reduction in the number of groups that continually engage in the scheme when the SEC put up the “whistleblowing” activity during the early period of 2018.

A good experiment to show there is a need for regulation, a fair one to be precise.

Many sorts of unscrupulous behaviors happen because the lust for quick riches and greed is a great enemy or disadvantage to the decentralized moves we all call for.

Yes, we shouldn’t be taken as slaves by big authorities. No giant cooperation should be able to use our personal prints and data as they see fit. But if we have something to learn from the past few years; it is that total decentralization should not be encouraged because of its disastrous effect.

In theory, total decentralization sounds really good, who could reject the notion of freedom? But practical examples have shown us the bad side of it as various kind of players are called to the party and for sure not all individual have a good motive.

Taking the DPoS consensus for example. In theory, the consensus looks really ideal, like I mean the perfect algorithm for the socially inclined community of people as each representative or block producer is continually voted in by the participants of the network and can be ranked or voted out if the community decide the BP contribution isn’t ethical or benefiting anymore. What a perfect way to actualize a democratic governing body.

However, it has also shown us how bad it to established an autonomous framework without some strict penalty guideline to punish offenders.

Decentralization, as postulated by the majority, means anyone should be able to do as they see fit. To some extent, this is very true, but by our nature and rational intelligence, there is a marked difference between good and bad morals and their effects on our lives and society.

The factual part of it is that both states of morals are easily expressed through us.

Strict policing, rules and laws had been the greatest solution to hibernate the show of bad behaviors. Even the Supreme being conformed to it by the laws stated in the Bible.

In that respect, crypto dealings shouldn’t be an exception if we truly want to achieve a genuine and fair decentralized system.

My reasons for writing out this opinion is connected to why the price of BTC took a sudden slump despite the buying interest and sentiments.

One report stated it was caused by the influx of the newly printed Tether tokens by Bitfinex. So far Bitfinex denied such activity, leaving the truth of the matter in an unconfirmed state.

Alright! Let look into some latest catch-up and updates in the media and forums.

It was reported some few days ago that a hacker found a way to guess dozens of Ethereum private keys, stealing over 45,000 Ether along the way.

In a new report, research shows, many hundreds of Keys are weakly generated and are susceptible to theft.

The news stated that “the probability of a chance to hack 256-bit encryption adopted by most blockchains would take years”, but after some thorough testing and analysis, over 700 Ethereum Keys was reported to be at risks of being hacked.

Industry leaders deliberate on how to realize the mission of cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin was created with the sole aim of replacing the traditional fiat currency.

This mission was clearly stated in the Genesis block of its blockchain – revealing the corrupt and unreliable ways of the old system and the need to replace it.

Over the years, the currency had struggled to convince this mission could be realized base on many factors some of which include the slow confirmation time and excessive power usage for its production, so much that the digital currency is now considered a store of value.

However, its supporters and movers aren’t giving up easily.

In the news – it was reported that Top Traders and company representatives including Binance and Coinbase held a talk in Singapore to include cryptocurrency in the global financial framework and bring about more use cases to it.

? Bitfinex Covered $850 Million Loss Using Tether Funds, NY Prosecutors Allege

The New York Attorney General’s office has alleged that crypto exchange Bitfinex lost $850 million and subsequently used funds from affiliated stablecoin operator Tether to secretly cover the shortfall.


According to a press release issued Thursday, NYAG Letitia James announced that she had obtained a court order against iFinex Inc., which operates both Bitfinex and Tether, ordering them to cease violating New York law and defrauding New York residents.


James said that an investigation by her department determined that iFinex “engaged in a cover-up to hide the apparent loss of $850 million of co-mingled client and corporate funds,” adding:


“New York state has led the way in requiring virtual currency businesses to operate according to the law. And we will continue to stand-up for investors and seek justice on their behalf when misled or cheated by any of these companies.”


?The Darknet Rises With 6 New Markets

As Dream dies and Wall Street exits, a string of new darknet markets (DNMs) has emerged to take their crown. The majority of these have only been operational for a matter of weeks, and have launched at a time when trust in DNMs is running low. The success or failure of these marketplaces will be pivotal in shaping the darknet’s crypto-powered economy in the months to come.


New Heads on the Darknet Hydra
As the legend goes, for every head the hydra loses, two new ones take its place, and so it seems to be on the darknet. The loss of Dream and Wall Street has spurred four new DNMs, bringing the total of recently launched markets to six. The first of these, Cryptonia, promises two-of-three bitcoin multisig, a wallet-less escrow system, two-factor authentication, strong anti-phishing measures based on public key cryptography, and EXIF metadata stripper for images.

? Buterin Proposal Could Turn Ethereum Staking Into $160 Million Industry

A new proposal by Vitalik Buterin, the creator of ethereum, suggests he is considering increasing rewards for validators who would secure the operation of the next version of the world’s second-largest blockchain.


Ethereum 2.0 is by far the biggest upgrade on the horizon for the ethereum blockchain, today valued at $17.5 billion. Its broader goal is to erase ongoing bottlenecks to transaction throughput and significantly decrease costs on the network.

Rather than relying on a proof-of-work consensus protocol whereby miners compete to bundle together blocks of transactions and add them to the ever-growing chain, ethereum 2.0 will rely on a proof-of-stake consensus protocol whereby validators stake their own funds and attest to blocks and transactions being created on the network.

? Malta’s Financial Regulator Issues Guides on Crypto Assets, Scams

Malta’s financial regulator has issued a note to the public regarding the risks of crypto assets and the possibility for scams, news outlet Times of Malta reported on April 25.


The Malta Financial Services Authority’s (MFSA) new guidance note intends to warn the public about cryptocurrency investments and related risks, and educate people on how to identify and avoid scams and fraudulent schemes.


The guidance reportedly outlines the most common types of digital currency-associated scams, which include fake iInitial coin offerings (ICOs), crowdfunding ventures promising higher gains which are availed of once the coin becomes active, and fake exchange platforms and fake e-wallet apps.

? John McAfee Vows to Unmask Crypto’s Satoshi Nakamoto, Then Backs Off

John McAfee, the eccentric antivirus pioneer known for his brushes with the law, said he has spoken with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto and plans to reveal the person’s identity.

But the timing of the announcement is up in the air. After previously telling Bloomberg he would expose Nakamoto “within a week,” he backed off the plan. McAfee said Tuesday on Twitter the controversy could hurt his efforts to fight an extradition to the U.S.
“People forget that I am a technologist,” he said. “I am one of the best.”
In delaying the revelation, McAfee posted a letter from Mario Gray, his extradition lawyer, saying that exposing Nakamoto could make him the target of lawsuits — forcing him to defend himself “on many fronts.”


“Releasing the identity of Satoshi at this time could influence the trial and risk my extradition,” he said in a tweet. “I cannot risk that. I’ll wait

Daily Crypto Digest – 010

Workin: Can you hear the sound in the air?

Buckley: Yes.. faintly, buh I can hear em

Workin: What does it whisper?

Buckley: szz.. szz.. It’s very weak and your thick voice isn’t helping either

Workin: Listen you scumhead.. Listen again!

Buckley: mism… mism.. optimism. Originating like a big roar from afar, reaching to us with struggles like a bird flying through a raging wind. It like something is trying to tell us a thing about the future.

Workin: about what?

Buckley: I am not a wizard nor do I analyze or interpret as you do. So, how do you expect me to know that?

Workin: as for the advantage of age. I think I should decipher this. It was in the summer of 2015, I was in the wood with Martin just as we two are, a similar voice erupted. Same with Zeus in 2017. For the big part.. What follows that two periods was something unimaginable and the later event was stronger than the former.

Buckley: what event?

Workin: the bulls in their large numbers migrating from the far west flooded our county. Chasing away the bears we have long fought against as they rally with great strength. Our pastures flourished with their fresh manure, leaving our land with an abundance of nutrients to hold onto.

Buckley: then I can’t wait to get my friends prepared. I need to inform Jimmy, Infosion, dtwo, Antigenx, Sulex and all I could. Because if by your words, the upcoming rally would be greater than the past. We need to get our pastures prepared.

Optimism! It moving quietly in the air. Rising up to the heights with bigger strength.

Unless a person is not an active follower, the mood revolving around social discussion platforms like Reddit and Twitter is something to be excited and curious about. It has been a while since people of varying experience and expertise speaks about historical events and records like in this moment.

Topics like the golden cross, phase of renewed optimism and so on are now being deliberated upon in a manner that has long been seen.

Overall daily trading volume isn’t planning to cool down the mood either.

The past 36 hours saw another upward movement by the king himself, putting everyone in awe of his next direction. Alts were really dumped out of FOMO to rally along with the king, but several corrections along the way must have signaled an unknown direction.

The direction of the next movement is very unpredictable, calling for more carefulness in other to stay safe.

Happy trading or HODLing.

Let look at some of the recent happenings and discussions.

Created along with the debut of the internet are companies with the focus on providing large-scale access to digital service or information such as the Google search engine, Amazon web service and the rest.

Fast forward to a few more years, we saw various models of businesses formed around the users accessing these services.

User-generated data created a lot of revenue opportunities. The advertisement industry took a new form of engagement. Product development relies on the core behavior and patterns of users.

To the unfair part, individuals with the right to these data are cheated out of the information they provide by being totally ignored in the revenue sharing mechanism.

Good awareness is now widely spread among users on how they are being robbed of their personal prints and belongings.

This has ushered a rally calling for a decentralized move. Luckily with the birth of the blockchain, the move is having more fruition than earlier predicted.

Revamping one the crucial gateway to access the internet is the Brave project with the introduction of the Brave browser built on the chromium browser infrastructure.

? Samsung Developing Ethereum-Based Blockchain, May Issue Own Token

South Korean electronics giant Samsung is developing its own blockchain network and eyeing the issuance of its own token further down the road.


An exclusive CoinDesk Korea report on Tuesday, citing a person “familiar with Samsung’s internal situation,” said that the company’s blockchain task force – part of its wireless division – is building a blockchain mainnet based on ethereum.  The work, however, is still at the “internal experimental” stage.


The source said:
“Currently, we are thinking of private blockchain, though it is not yet confirmed. It could also be public blockchain in the future, but I think it will be hybrid – that is, a combination of public and private blockchains.”


?Litecoin Led Bitcoin’s Price Rally, Now It’s Hinting at a Pullback

Bitcoin could fall back to $5,000 in the next few days, as litecoin – which guided markets higher in the first quarter – is showing signs of weakness.


Bitcoin’s long/short ratio has dropped well below 1.00 for the first time since Jan.1, signaling growing bearish sentiment. Further, the 14-day relative strength index is teasing a bearish divergence. Therefore, a price pullback looks likely.


The case for a drop to $5,000 would weaken if the price bounces up from the ascending 10-day moving average, currently at $5,303.

? Big Players Transforming Crypto Exchanges in Japan


Government-approved cryptocurrency trading platforms in Japan are undergoing changes with big players entering the market. News.Bitcoin.com talked to Japan’s top financial regulator to learn about the regulatory implications of the changing business models and internal systems of regulated exchanges.


“There is no need to re-register. If its business model or internal control system are to be changed, FSA will rigorously review them from the perspectives of user protection and others”.

Big Players Are Transforming Cryptocurrency Exchanges in Japan

? Binance Singapore Launches But Offers Just One Trading Pair

Binance has launched a new cryptocurrency exchange in Singapore after months of anticipation, TechCrunch reported on April 23, albeit with limited features.


Users of the platform are only able to purchase bitcoin (BTC) using Singapore dollars (SGD,) meaning far fewer trading pairs are available for consumers compared with the company’s main exchange.


The Binance Singapore website suggests that the service is being offered in conjunction with Xfers, a local payment service that claims to offer a crypto wallet approved by Singaporean regulators. Three steps are listed for new customers: creating an account with Binance Singapore, linking their Xfers account, and beginning to buy and sell bitcoin as they wish.

? John McAfee Vows to Unmask Crypto’s Satoshi Nakamoto, Then Backs Off

John McAfee, the eccentric antivirus pioneer known for his brushes with the law, said he has spoken with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto and plans to reveal the person’s identity.

But the timing of the announcement is up in the air. After previously telling Bloomberg he would expose Nakamoto “within a week,” he backed off the plan. McAfee said Tuesday on Twitter the controversy could hurt his efforts to fight an extradition to the U.S.

? Bitcoin Price Sees First ‘Golden Crossover’ Since 2015

Bitcoin’s daily chart is reporting a “golden crossover” – a bull cross of the 50- and 200-day moving averages – for the first time since October 2015. The crossover represents a long-term bearish-to-bullish trend change.


A convincing close today above $5,466 (April 10 high) would establish another bullish higher high and boost the prospects of a rally to $6,000.


That rally, however, may be preceded by consolidation or price pullback, as the golden crossover is accompanied by the overbought readings on the relative strength index and a neutral long/short ratio.


The case for a pullback to $5,000 would strengthen if the price fails to close (UTC) today above $5,466 (April 10 high).


? The Ethereum Name Service Is Turning Nearly 300,000 .ETH Domains Into NFTs

An effort to build a domain name system on top of the ethereum blockchain network is gearing up for a major upgrade early next month — and the project’s developers are urging stakeholders to prepare.


At the heart of the upgrade is the replacement of the Ethereum Name Service’s registrar, with the goal of vastly speeding up the process of registering .eth, .xyz, and .lux domain names. What’s more, names registered on the ENS will be treated as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), allowing them to be bought and exchanged like similar kinds of tokens on the ethereum network.


During an April 16 blog post, Ethereum Name Service (ENS) lead developer Nick Johnson wrote that registered domain users have one year after May 4 to migrate their domain to a new registar that is replacing the existing one.

? IBM Issued Patent for DLT-Supported Data Sharing and Validation

Tech giant IBM has been awarded a patent for a mobile data sharing method that uses distributed ledger technology (DLT), according to documents published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on April 23.


The product described in the filing represents a continuation of U.S. patent application filed in November 2017 entitled “Information Sharing Among Mobile Apparatus.” IBM proposes a method executed by a mobile apparatus to verify information that has been shared between two devices.


In detail, the platform can collect specific information and deliver it to nearby computing nodes, with subsequent publishing of a verified incident event on a distributed ledger. The collected data is further used to map information updates.

? French Lender Societe Generale Issues $112 Million Bond on Ethereum

French financial services giant Societe Generale Group has issued about $112 million worth of bonds in the form of a security token on the public ethereum blockchain.


Announced today, a subsidiary called Societe Generale SFH used the OFH token (obligations de financement de l’habitat, or home financing obligations) to represent 100 million euros of covered bonds, a type of security that is backed by specific assets but remains on the issuer’s balance sheet.


However, according to a report published Tuesday by bond rating agency Moody’s Investors Service, Societe Generale was “the sole investor,” meaning the firm issued the securities to itself and no outside buyers were involved.

? Survey Shows South Koreans Increased Crypto Holdings by 64% Last Year

Over the last few years, South Korea has become a hotspot for cryptocurrencies and the region captures a large amount of the world’s digital asset trade volume. A survey published on April 20 by the Korea Financial Investment Association shows that the average South Korean cryptocurrency trader has increased their crypto holdings by 64.2% over the last year

Survey Shows South Koreans Increased Crypto Holdings by 64% Last Year

In 2017, cryptocurrency markets were extremely popular among South Korean traders and numbers that year definitely outshone the recent KOFIA poll published this week. According to another survey, one third of South Korean workers were crypto investors in 2017 but the average investment was less at $5,260 per investor. Another difference between then and now was the amount of younger (20s and 30s) South Korean investors was about 80% of the respondents polled. At the time, the South Korean won captured a third of the world’s crypto trade volume in 2017 behind the USD and JPY. Today the currency is still usually a top five trading pair, according to data from sites like Coinlib.io and Cryptocompare.

So yeah it was expected even I was trying to stay optimist… After the break of the support line around 0.43$, the next objective was to go test the next support, the orange line around 0.39$. This is now done and the market is really trying to break that line so I’m not sure we won’t have a break quiet soon and an acceleration with the drop. Courage dera holders, it will be the time of the altcoins also…
