Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 13 April 2018
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Crypto boom, Pantera predictions, on decentralisation, halal bitcoin and AUSTRAC Bit Trade.
1. Boom
Cryptocurrencies went up today. Hard.
2. Scraped the bottom of the barrel
Pantera noted that bitcoin crossed its 200-day moving average today... upwards. It doesn't issue predictions often but is willing to stand by this one.
Make of it what you will, but there's some weight in the words.
3. There's got to be a better way
So runs the thinking of Loopring founder Daniel Wang.
Why be an exchange when you can be a P2P wallet?
4. It's all about the usury 'xperience
Bitcoin didn't just become halal. The price rise isn't because the 1.6 billion-strong Muslim population of planet earth suddenly bought bitcoin.
5. Before it was cool
Bit Trade was doing it before it was cool.
Doing what? AUSTRAC compliant KYC/AML compliance.
