Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 21 June 2018
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Read about Tether's dithers, the need for cybersecurity standards, where privacy leaves the world, refugees and blockchain ID, and Ripple's price analysis.

To whom it may concern,

Sincerely, A totally not shady law firm with ex federal judges and even a former FBI guy. C'mon, what more do you want? You can trust us.
PS: We're not money laundering. Our casino is just really popular. Pinky promise.
2. One simple trick to not being hacked for $30 million
No one knows what it is because no one's formalised it yet.
3. A compelling case for crypto libertarian nonsense

Ripple dangled, winded and ticked off but very much alive.
