Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 7 May
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Bitcoin's hot intellectual property, PIVX breakthrough, Lbank-Kodak shadiness, scams galore, the crypto market drop and weekly bitcoin price analysis.
1. Always show your working
Especially if you're collaboratively programming a decentralised currency.
There's been a tangible surge of interest in bitcoin development, manifested in GitHub submissions.
2. Yeah, you've probably never heard of it. It was into anonymous staking before it was cool
Anonymous cryptocurrencies are often more multi-faceted than they appear.
3. Smile for the mugshot
Many people regard the Lbank cryptocurrency exchange as whatever the opposite of transparent, honest and trustworthy is.
4. Trust no one
Not even this. Or that. Or this. Or any of that.
5. Crypto markets: "So help me I will turn this Lambo around"
Technically speaking, the markets got tired of everyone asking "are we there yet" so it turned the Lambo around. Or something like that.
