As the USa states fight over 'rules & regs" and how to 'control' crypto the UAE is figuring out how to expand them, embrace them, and earn as well as save costs with them. Are we seeing a shift

Perhaps an error or perhaps an indication of pending action. The addition of a FB coin on the platform in Italy is interesting in so many ways. But in the bigger picture, having FB adopt / intro any coin

Not 400x, or 350x, but 388 times. What a strange number to quote in a headline. (msg?)(to who?) But great news, Ding Dong, the witch is dead, or at least it looks like BIS is on the ropes. What will they

Talk about shooting onself in the food. After handing over user data to fb_i and then all sorts of strange goings on Coinbasechanges it's fee structure. TL;DR If you trade / invest less than $100K of coins

Back in the day, law makers who understood little about the technology, had flag wavers walking in front of every motor vehicle.

A blunt instrument can do the most damage. And when a payment processing organisation targets a country the people living there daya to day are the ones that suffer. In fact those people have very little

When JPM came out with an 'internal' coin to be used just by them the whole internet asked "what for". Now IBM are planning to creat a coin/payment method, except they are going to base it on

In a bizarre proposal Canada looks to create some rules for cryptos. Do these people live under rocks? or perhaps they never thought crypto would be a 'thing'? After one of the industries biggest scandals

Stable coins, so named because they are 'tied' to something, typically the US$ or other currency. So when Tether changes it's web and seems to indicate that while its coins are 1:1 with the US$, they may

In a new turn of events, it seems personal funs were mixed with business funds. While normally strange, the companies banks accounts had been frozen and funds needed to be paid out. Then add in the news

Crypto back by something tangible rather than work product related is required to establish a 'money' function for the blockchain. Several countries have looked at oil, others gas or other natural resources.

It would be rather odd if NYT had not heard of the Steem blockchain. Interesting that it does not get a mention in the article. Perhaps the NYT are looking for a paywall type blockchain? Time will tell

On request of US House rep the SEC head has confirmed that ETH is NOT a security. Does that mean the SEC 'rules' don't apply? Does that mean ETH is the only crypto that is not a security? What about those

The whole concept around KYC is to know who is doing transactions, because they could be bad actors, involved in criminal stuff. But that is a bit like saying, everyone who uses fiat cash to buy a coffee,

Texas wants to pass laws re crypto but KYC is a big thing. Ma looks to embrase what it has so far rejected. Ohio accepts Tax payments in crypto. And on the list goes. The very un-united USA seems to be

It seems with Well Fargo clocking up a massive 15b in penalties over the last 20 yrs, he would be the very last one to claim that BTC and blockchains don't have a purpose. Taceability is a forte of the

Merger talks are under way, but why? Why are the 2 biggest banks in a country talk about a merge? One has been in news recently in regards to some massive frauds. Could this be a way to get past the legal

The use of fiat money as a weapon is well documented. Those that control it create and set the rules they have to obey. At least one Court in Brazil has seen these stand over tactics as just that.

Well the join part is happening as more and more banks come on board with XRP and BTC gains investor numbers if not dollars. Meanwhile some are of the view that restricting supply will stop the crypto
