FOMO Daily - Crypto News Digest

In this week's episode we discuss Aragon's potential move to Cosmos, the Libra hearing, China embracing blockchain, and a few other topics.

The second episode of this - still experimental - weekly format. We cover Devcon5, Libra, the FED, decentralized exchanges and more.

FOMO is back with an experimental weekly show!

Today’s show is still mostly about Ethereum, as Devcon is still going on in Prague with plenty of news to talk about. The most important one in my opinion is something that’s flying a little bit under that radar, but it marks a huge milestone. It came from Hoard, a company you might have not heard about. Hoard released a new game yesterday, Plasma Dog, and what makes it very special, is that it’s built on OmiseGO’s Plasma MVP, in fact it is the first live Plasma proof of concept ever created. It runs on the OMG Plasma testnet.MetaMask, a browser extension for Chrome and others has been the most important gateway to using decentralized applications on the Ethereum network. MetaMask has become better and better over the years, but it has frightening issues. The worst issue, by far, was that website could simply ping MetaMask for the associated Ethereum addresses, public keys, so any website could have access to the users’ balance, and transaction history. This was known for some time, and MetaMask is finally fixing it.And lastly, John McAfee announced this 2020 bid for US presidency. The popular billionaire and troll extraordinaire doesn’t actually want to win the office, but he thinks a presidential campaign is the best platform to promote cryptocurrencies.

We will dedicate this show mostly to Ethereum, as the yearly developer conference, Devcon, is happening in Prague, but before we go there, some good news from Korea.Banking has always been a particular challenge for crypto exchanges. Yesterday, the commissioner of FSC, the Korean equivalent of SEC reaffirmed that as long as cryptocurrency exchanges in the country have adequate AML and KYC systems in place, banks should be able to cater to these companies. So looks like banking problems are gone in Korea. We just wish regulators in other countries would be as sensible as the Korean FSC.With the pop of the ICO bubble, people started to look at Ethereum almost like a scam. And the competition got much stronger, too. Some of the other projects are really good like Stellar or ICON. Long story short, Ethereum, is not in a great shape. But Ethereum is the absolute cornerstone of the ecosystem, 90% of the top 100 market cap coins depend on it, and Devcon is always a great opportunity to inject some enthusiasm into the community.Vitalik gave a long-awaited talk about the scaling efforts. He acknowledged Ethereum today is not what Ethereum was meant to be, the world computer, because of the poor scalability. He also acknowledged that many of the efforts to solve the scalability problems were basically dead ends like super-quadratic sharding. Enter Serenity. Serenity is the new name of the next iteration of Ethereum. It's not a new thing, rather a new name for all the scaling efforts which, as it looks like, are finally pointing to one single direction.

You know what’s scary? That the ultimate shitcoin is coming from a government. Yesterday, Venezuela finally started selling Petro, the government coin backed by oil reserves. You know you’ve peak stupidity when the world’s most dysfunctional government tries selling you an overpriced Dash fork, which you can buy with Bitcoin, Litecoin, US Dollar, Euros or Renminbi, but strangely enough, not with Venezuelan Bolivares. Don’t fall for it, guys.Coindesk announced that they have raised $300M dollars in a Series E financing round led by Tiger Global, Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz. This brings the valuation of the company to $8B dollars, and the round is widely viewed as preparation for an IPO. A lot to unpack here. We dig deep into the numbers.Devcon 4 is starting today in Prague, so expect to see a lot of Ethereum news in the next couple of days. Probably the biggest news of day zero was the reversible ICO announcement by Fabian Vogelsteller.

Before we talk about the news of the last 24 hours... happy 10th birthday, Bitcoin! I’m not saying you look better than ever, that’s unfortunately not the case, but hey, what goes down, will go up, eventually.Some of our Canadian friends have bigger things to worry about than the current price movement, because their Bitcoin disappeared. The fairy small local exchange, MapleChange, informed the community on Twitter yesterday that due to a bug, a hacker was able to steal all the money held in the exchange wallets, and they have no funds to pay back their customers. Hacks do happen, but this particular one smells. Circumstances, including the timing of the hack, early Sunday morning, and the fact that the founder and CEO deleted all his social media profiles point to an exit scam.If you think $6.3M might actually worth the risk, how about 300k? This is how much money the founder and first CTO of Oyster Protocol stole yesterday. He authored the original smart contract for Oyster, issuing the PRL or Pearl tokens, and apparently he left a back door no one noticed despite the contract having been audited multiple times.One exchange which is definitely not shady is Bitstamp. Yesterday they announced that they’ve been acquired by Nexon, one the biggest game developers in Korea, who also own Korbit, the second largest exchange in the country. Looks like nothing is going to change at Bitstamp, or at least not in the short term.

Everyone makes mistakes but when you cover Chinese regulations, you have to be a bit more careful than CCN. The site reported that and I'm quoting here: "China’s Merchants are Legally Allowed to Accept Bitcoin and Crypto". But that's totally not what happened and it matters because the market is very sensitive to news coming out from China. So what did happen then? The International Court of Arbitration closed a case where one party refused to transfer crypto to the other party after receiving payment in fiat. The court, which is an arbitration court, so it doesn't make law, it just interprets law, had to decide if existing contract law and general provisions of the civil law do apply in this case. The court did say owning and transferring Bitcoin is not illegal in China, the general civil law provisions should apply, and therefore the contract must be honored. It did not say merchants are legally allowed to accept cryptocurrencies. That's a whole different story, because that is challenging the status of Renminbi, the government fiat currency.BitGo announced the launch of WBTC or wrapped Bitcoin, which is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, fully backed by bitcoin. The project will launch in January next year in partnership with Kyber Network and the Republic Protocol. The idea sounds weird at first. Why would you need anything like this? But if you think about it, there are use cases when Bitcoin on Ethereum makes a whole lot of sense.Currently, you cannot use Bitcoin in decentralized applications, because Bitcoin is not very programmable. You can, with some black magic, create smart contracts on Bitcoin, but these are not very... smart. Their functionality is rather limited. Dapps include decentralized exchanges, and you cannot really trade Bitcoin on decentralized exchanges today. With WBTC, you can program Bitcoin like any other ERC20 token. You can write smart contracts for collateralized lending, payments, escrow, et cetera. It sounds weird, and the reaction by the Bitcoin maximalists was not very friendly, as you can imagine, it is actually quite exciting.

The US stock markets start to look really nasty. Big sell-offs, big red candles, tech stocks bleeding, and the sentiment is turning pretty bearish. Suddenly it seems entirely possible that we are entering the next recession phase, not just in the US - although that might be the catalyst - but more in Asia and especially in the emerging countries. The billion dollar question, of course, is what will happen to crypto? I think crypto will do really bad in a “normal” recession. But if the next recession will bring a currency crisis and high inflation then hedging into crypto suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.The magazine Breakermag published a story yesterday about the sad state of crypto media. The truth is, these deals are pretty much an open secret, although I was surprised by some of the email exchanges published. It was especially disheartening to see that Cointelegraph was a bit too accommodating.Yesterday we talked about the countries “getting it”. Now let’s talk about a place which, surprisingly may I say, doesn’t: Spain. A new law is coming into effect requiring Spanish citizens to declare all cryptocurrency holdings in the hope that this move will raise a further 850 million euros in tax revenue. Hey, Spain! I am sorry I need to break this for you but it will not.

Tether burned $500M's worth of USDT yesterday, and this is the best possible news. We all know Tether is posing a systemic risk to the ecosystem. The only way to save it is to retire Tether, and the only people who can do this are the very people who created it. And this is exactly what's happening. I told you in yesterday's show that Tether is calling back USDT to a so called Treasury account, where they store Tethers which are out of circulation. I've also said that keep a close eye on this wallet because if the theory is right, they have to start burning some of these tokens, taking them out of circulation for real. And, this is exactly what happened yesterday.Amazing news from Japan as the country shows the world, again, the way forward in crypto. Yesterday, the FSA, the Financial Services Agency which is the equivalent of the SEC has formally approved a cryptocurrency exchange association as a self-regulatory industry body. This is a much better model than government agencies, or God help us, elected representatives meddling with the regulations around crypto. It's just moving too fast... and the Japanese understand this.Another country which gets it is Taiwan. There is new ICO legislation in the pipeline, expected to become law next June. It will make a clear distinction between security tokens, which will need to comply with the existing securities act and utility tokens, which won't be regulated and can be issued freely. This brings some welcome clarity to the field and it's good to see that Taiwan doesn't follow Korea, or even worse, China in curbing the creativity in crypto.

Yesterday HTC announced the launch of Exodus, their blockchain phone. It is now available for preorder, and will be shipped in December, probably around Christmas. Exodus is not the first blockchain phone announced, but it probably will be the first blockchain phone released. The Exodus is basically a U12, which was the latest Android flagship device of HTC. It has all the specs, the cameras are great, the design is satisfying. So how Exodus is different from a normal U12 and what makes it a blockchain phone? The Exodus has a secure hardware element or an enclave. The operating system, Android in this case, cannot simply write information there. When you interact with the secure element, it's done on a lower level. In HTC's case, this secure element is used to store your private keys to your wallets. The phone will support Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and certain ERC20 tokens as a start. Exodus comes with dapp support out of the box, which is great as using dapps on a mobile is still a pain. It also has something called "social key recovery". But the most exciting feature of Exodus is the API.Coinbase has just launched support for USDC or USD Coin, the stablecoin developed by Circle. USDC is fully-audited and fully-backed by US Dollar deposits. It think it is good thing for two reasons mostly. First, using USDC is certainly a much better idea than using USDT, Tether. Through Coinbase, USDC can capture a big slice of the stablecoin pie, and anything that makes Tether less used is a good thing. Second, USDC makes is possible to move quasi fiat from Coinbase to other exchanges, and this gives more opportunities for traders.And another Coinbase news, their custody services are now fully operational, after obtaining a license from the New York State authorities. After Bakkt and Fidelity entering the institutional market, this news is not that earth-shattering anymore, but with mainstream adoption every little helps.On the 19th we discussed a theory saying that Tether is gracefully exiting the market as Bitfinex is sending back USDT to the Tether Treasury at an unprecedented scale. The Treasury account holds the Tethers with are out of circulation. Some of them, those without fiat backing are meant to be burned, but of course no one knows how much fiat Tether actually has. But in any case, these Tethers are out of circulation. Since that show another $180M have been transferred to the Treasury account, where the balance is quickly approaching 1 billion dollars, currently it has $966M. That is a huge number, that is one-third of all the USDT in existence. We will see, but I'd say the signs are indeed pointing to a graceful exit, which would be amazing news for the whole ecosystem, and would probably trigger the next bull market.

The biggest news is of course Bakkt, launching its services on December 12th. If you've been living under a rock, Bakkt is the new upcoming cryptocurrency trading platform backed by ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. While Bakkt is primarily focusing on institutional investors, it will supposedly be open to retail traders as well. Bakkt is not just a trading platform, it also provides custody and other services, but the most anticipated product is the Bakkt Daily Futures Contracts. This is the first physically settled Bitcoin futures product. Bakkt will not allow margin trading on the platform. ICE is still waiting for regulatory approval but I have little doubts they will get it.Can Bakkt trigger a good old fashioned Santa Claus rally on the crypto markets? We will see, but I think the chances are reasonably high.NEO announced yesterday that KPN, the Dutch telco giant is going to operate one of the NEO consensus nodes, which secure the whole ecosystem. EOS and NEO are fast and secure blockchains, but neither of them are very decentralized. We know 17 of the 21 consensus nodes in the EOS ecosystem are controlled by the same organization, Huobi, either directly or through backroom deals. This is very unhealthy and raises uncomfortable questions about the project. NEO is even more centralized, as it only has 7 consensus nodes. Before the announcement, all 7 of these nodes were controlled by the NEO Foundation, and this is now changing. And I think it is important to recognize that NEO is doing it right.The latest news from China are either scary as hell or hilarious, depending on your point of view. Under proposed new rules, companies and entities operating in China that provide blockchain-based information services will have to ask users to register their real names and national identification card numbers, censor content deemed to pose a threat to national security and store user data to allow inspection by authorities.This story is eye-opening in two ways. First, it shows you how insecure dictatorships are. Something they can't control just creeps the hell out of them because they know it poses a lethal threat to their power. Second, it shows what is the ultimate benefits of blockchain technology are: immutability, censorship-resistance and equal access.

The auditor firm Ernst & Young released a report on Friday about the state of the ICOs which raised funds in 2017.The study analyzed the 141 top ICOs representing 87 percent of the total funds raised last year, and things don't look good. 71 percent of the projects don't have a working product or even a prototype. The fact that most of the ICOs seem to be failing doesn't bother me even a tiny bit. It shouldn't bother you either, unless you really bought the argument that ICOs are the future of business. Well, it turns out, as it always does, that crypto is just another market, and markets have certain characteristics. One of these is that nine out of ten startups fail, and it's not all that different with ICOs. Don't fool yourself: most of your ICO bags will go to absolute zero.The web browser Brave, developed by the BAT team, has just announced a new feature which makes it possible to tip individual Reddit and Twitter users for their content. I am not sure Brave will ever be able to capture a market share significant enough to get this going and become mainstream. But they are onto something, just as Steem is. Both projects address the same issue: how to reward people producing valuable content.A church in Siberia learned got caught running a modest scale mining operation which was still profitable thanks to the low, heavily subsidized electricity fees. The church tried to argue in court that they were using the electricity to produce religious materials. The court did not buy it.

The institutional crypto news of the week was Goldman Sachs and Mike Novogratz both being investors in the $58.5M dollars Series B funding round of BigGo. BitGo is a fully-regulated cryptocurrency custodian holding $2B in cryptocurrencies for institutional investors and transacting 15 billion dollars a month. Goldman Sachs is the most emblematic firm of Wall Street, so people have been speculating for months when the company will finally enter crypto. And while this is not the crypto trading desk we are all waiting for, it shows Goldman is indeed taking crypto seriously.The anonymous person (or group) behind the Twitter handle Bitfinexed gave a long interview to Modern Consensus. In my opinion, Bitfinexed did a great service to the crypto industry with his with work around Tether, but I also think recently he's becoming a victim of his own tunnel vision.And Tether might not be around for too long anyway. Hasu, an independent blockchain researcher just published an article about how Tether is exiting the market, and while I don't agree with everything he says, I find his scenario plausible or even likely. It's not that difficult to grasp and it makes a lot of sense.You can, if you coordinate between all the big actors, let Tether gracefully retire. Tether is a device of mutually assured destruction, and we better pray the big actors succeed.

Binance announced to partner with Chainalysis, a blockchain forensics company to work on anti money laundering and know-your-customer compliance. The KYT solution of Chainalysis provides real-time transaction monitoring services based on pattern recognition and it can flag a suspicious transaction right as it happens. I argue the Binance partnership is nothing but a PR move. Binance does need some good PR around anti money laundering as regulators start paying attention to exchanges.Monero is getting an upgrade today, an upgrade big enough to justify a hard fork. There are three major changes to be introduced. The first is the "bulletproofs" technology making the privacy layers more efficient and reducing the transaction size by up to 80%. The second upgrade is focused on anonymity by increasing the mandatory ring size for ring signatures. Lastly, the hard fork changes the Proof of Work algorithm to make sure Monero stays ASIC resistantThe South China Morning Post reported yesterday that because of the ongoing trade war between China and the US, mining equipment made by Bitmain and other Chinese companies is now a subject to 25 per cent tariffs when imported into the United States. If Chinese pools already own 74% of the Bitcoin hash power, aren't the tariffs counterproductive?

This morning, we cover a few stories which have been flying under the radar.Line has long been rumored to launch its own token, and yesterday trading against Bitcoin and Ether went live on Bitbox. I'd argue this is a bigger deal than you might think. Line's mid-term plan is to build a decentralized app ecosystem around the Line token, and this would be very interesting as we all know how much distributed apps struggle to gain traction. Line can change this situation very quickly.BitPay, the largest crypto payment provider announced yesterday that they are now supporting settlements in two more currencies: Circle's USDC and the Gemini Dollar. It's a pretty big deal, because merchants accepting crypto now can receive the funds in a regulated stablecoin, taking volatility out of the equation.Finally, let's talk about Decred. Yesterday, a protocol called Politeia went live, launching one of the most exciting experiments in crypto. Decred is trying something that very few projects have ever tried: true blockchain governance. This means that the decisions are made by token holders, voting on proposals with their stakes. This is a very controversial thing, and we explain why.

The Tether situation is stabilizing a bit. Tether exchanges still trade at a markup above Bitstamp and Coinbase, and Tether is still trading at 95 cents to the dollar, but the immediate collapse has been postponed or avoided, depending on your point of view. Today is going to be an exciting day as Bitfinex is going to reopen fiat deposits.The biggest news of yesterday came from Fidelity. Fidelity is a household name in the States knows for its 401k offerings and retail brokerage. Yesterday they have announced launching their new digital assets business, cryptocurrency custody and brokerage. Custody is launching with Bitcoin and Ether for the time being, but other assets are in the plans. The brokerage service will initially focus on institutional clients and asset managers.When the announcement live on Medium, Fidelity made a rookie mistake. Right in the first sentence, they referred to the inventor of Bitcoin as Satoshi Minamoto. I am not sure I've ever heard of this guy.Crypto is just another business, where your success depends on if you can make other people believe in it. No one knows this better than Justin Sun, the CEO of TRON.Turns out, the partnership with Baidu is nothing more than TRON buying cloud servers. Well done Justin, that was a good one.

The Ethereum Ropsten testnet has stalled over the weekend, and it’s not usable at the moment. Ethereum developers were busy rolling out the next network upgrade, a hard fork, called Constantinople, which failed to activate because of an unspecified “consensus issue”.While hiccups are always expected when rolling out network updates, this one is especially painful because Constantinople has been long in the works, and is important as it will introduce changes to Ethereum’s underlying economic policy. Looks like the upgrade failed because miners did not upgrade the software on their nodes. This failure likely means that Constantinople won’t be activated on the main Ethereum blockchain this year.NASDAQ is reportedly exploring a security token platform, which would allow companies to raise funds by issuing tokens (STO). So looks like ICOs are not dead, they are just going to continue under a different name. To make the story even more interesting, NASDAQ might start tokenizing existing securities, and that is going to be a game changer.And lastly, the price difference between Bitfinex and the non-Tether exchanges, Coinbase and Bitstamp, is growing uncomfortably big. At the same time, the USD - Tether peg looks weaker than ever.

Bitfinex announced that it's halting fiat deposits until the banking situation is resolved, which they expect to happen in about a week. My prediction is that Bitfinex will never reopen deposits. As you know Tether and Bitfinex are interlinked, and - what a surprise - audited stablecoins like Paxos or TrueUSD are now trading at a hefty premium against USDT.The US Senate Banking Committee held a hearing yesterday on blockchain technology featuring Nouriel Roubini, also known as "Old Men Yells at Crypto". Roubini's testimony was light on facts and heavy on bs.Coinbase exchange listed 0x, which long has been rumored. Expect more ERC20 tokens to be listed! Coinbase also announced to shut down its index fund, which offered institutions and accredited investors a convenient vehicle to invest into top market cap crypto. People familiar with the situation said the fund failed to attract clients, and it raised less capital than expected.Pundi X revealed new, blockchain-powered smartphone at the their ongoing summit on Bali. The XPhone will hit the market in early 2019, but we only need to wait three more days to learn more about Function X, the technology powering the phone. Function X is a new transmission protocol built on blockchain, and it can be used to make calls, send messages and transmit data without connecting to a phone carrier.Blockchain, the company behind the blockchain.info wallet, hired a new legal officer who comes from... Noble Bank.

We talk a bit about the current state of the market, which doesn't look good. The 200 days moving average is just crossing the 500 days MA, which usually points to the final phase of capitulation after a market bubble. This only happened once on the Bitcoin chart, during the long bear market of 2014, and the price dropped about 50% in just a few weeks.Our main story this morning is about Bitcoin scalability and sidechains. The debates around scalability dies down after the Bitcoin Cash fork, but the problem remains. Bitcoin is a painfully slow and expensive cryptocurrency. Blockstream just announced that their sidechain solution, Liquid, is out of beta and ready for commercial use. The logic behind Liquid is not that different from Plasma on Ethereum, as we discuss in the show. It allows immediate Bitcoin transactions, because the transactions don’t need to be registered on the slow Bitcoin blockchain. It’s enough that they are submitted to the fast Liquid chain, which takes care of keeping the two chains in sync. On the other hand, Liquid is a permissioned blockchain, and on top of it, it requires proprietary hardware to operate. You and me won’t be able to use Liquid, ever.Yesterday Yobit made crypto Twitter roar in disbelief after publicly announcing their pump and dump plans.This is illegal, you’ll probably get rekt, and you shouldn’t keep any money on Yobit.

Blockchain technology offers a way for developing and / or smaller countries to leapfrog the behemoths. And many of them do!Vanuatu announced that new, friendly legislation on blockchain and ICOs are soon to be introduced. Vanuatu is receiving assistance and support from Maltese government officials.The Thai Ministry of Commerce starts conducting feasibility studies on the use of blockchain in the protection of intellectual property, agriculture and trade. Thailand is another country punching way above its weight when it comes to blockchain.The Central Bank of Azerbaijan started working with IBM to bring blockchain to the government. It is a 5 year plan to transfer the economy by introducing blockchain in the banking sector and by putting digital identification on the blockchain.China announced to open a blockchain pilot zone on the island of Hainan, in cooperation with the Oxford University. Their goal is to lure international talent to the island.

Our main story this morning is about Dubai and government-backed cryptocurrencies. The Department of Economic Development announced yesterday, that it will soon release a stablecoin, emCash, short for Emirates Cash, a digital equivalent to the Emirates Dirham, their fiat currency. Residents of Dubai will soon be able use emCash to pay for tuition fees, utility bills and also retail purchases. But is a government-backed cryptocurrency a good idea? It's not hard to imagine a dystopian future where the government has data about the finances and spending habits of every single citizen, as well as aggregate data which they can analyze to death.---A new study has been published yesterday by researchers from Princeton and the Florida International University suggesting China now has the power to destroy Bitcoin, if it wishes to do so. Their numbers show Chinese mining pools now account for 74 percent of the hash power, up from 50% in 2015. This opens the door to a 51% attack, but it also has other, unexpected consequences. If I were them, I would rather weaponize Bitcoin to destabilize the economies of other countries. And this new study suggests this is, indeed, a distinct possibility.---Binance announced yesterday that it will donate all the listing fees to charity. This PR stunt has very low if any downside risk for Binance. The ICO market is dead and projects which lost 50 or even 80% of the USD value of their funds raised won't pay the exchange millions of dollars even if they wanted to. And, let's not forget, any money channeled into a charity is tax free.

The Bitfinex saga continues and two things happened over the weekend, complicating the picture further. Crypto Twitter found out during the weekend that Bitfinex is now banking with HSBC US, but not directly. Rather through a shell company, Global Trading Solutions LLC, and the address of the headquarters of this shell company doesn't seem to be exist. Or rather it does, it is a valid address, but it is the address of a volleyball club on the outskirts of Chandler, Arizona. Bitfinex also published a blog post yesterday vehemently denying that the exchange is insolvent, and pointing to cold wallet addresses to prove their point; but fiat withdrawals are not really working.Nicolas Maduro announced that passport fees have to be paid in the country's new cryptocurrency. But does Petro actually exist? Or is it possible that the Venezuelan government simply doesn't want to issue passports to anyone anymore?Circle, the Goldman Sachs-backed crypto firm which bought Poloniex a few months ago announced acquiring SeedInvest, a platform where retail investors can invest in startup companies. Their plan is to make it easy for startups to issue their own tokens - securities as I imagine - and sell them to retail investors.

The Wall Street Journal published a 25 minutes long documentary about how they created their own cryptocurrency, WSJcoin. It is a absolutely fantastic piece of video journalism showing you how easy it is to create your own token and how incredibly easy it is to fool even the biggest names, thought leaders in the crypto industry.Yesterday's biggest news on Twitter were the survey results presented by Fundstrat. The research firm asked 25 institutional investors directly, and 9500 retail investors in Twitter, to see how they think about the current market conditions. The results are fascinating.Yesterday TD Ameritrade, one of the biggest brokerage firms in the US announced a strategic investment in ErisX, an exchange offering Bitcoin spot and futures trading.The Israel Sercurities Authority, the ISA, announced yesterday to move its internal secure communications system to blockchain for the simple reason that it is immutable.

Welcome to the Exchange Edition of FOMO Daily!Gemini is the first to obtain insurance for user funds on the exchange. Poloniex: “The operation was successful but the patient died”… or did he?Coinbase is raising half a billion dollars, and ICOrating releases a report on exchange security.

Google fights against crypto-mining Chrome extensions but others (including yours truly) think it's something to embrace. Blockchain is the "obvious solution" to solve the country's Brexit woes, says the UK's Chancellor. Everyone's favorite Giancarlo says 2/3 of fiat currencies are worthless.

Is Ripple growing into a tidal wave? Looks like Bitfinex and Tether lost access to banking, again. Big moves in the enterprise blockchain space.
