Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 20 April 2018
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Pranks on the blockchain, IBM moving in, Ripple on SWIFT, BCH does its thing and a strong signal.
1. It was just a prank... on the blockchain!
Hah, you thought I was going to run off with $50 million just because it looked like I was going to run off with $50 million.
2. That's how you do it in Batavia
How? Efficiently.
IBM's Batavia blockchain system for global trade has been successfully used for live transactions.
3. Hey, SWIFT, there's something on your shirt
Gotcha!
To paraphrase Ripple's take on the prospects of a partnership with the SWIFT network.
4. The biggest, hugest block size scales goodly
Bitcoin Cash is going up to 32MB block size.
Did they lose a bet or something?
5. Indications indicate running the same riff will turn you around
Bitcoin prices are paved with disappointed analysts, but there's room for cautious optimism in the latest market outlook, say cryptocurrency market analysts Simon & Garfunkel.
