Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up: 11 April 2018
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Bitcoin bubble, good old Golem, trading terminals, Monero madness, contract concerns.
1. Double, double toil and trouble
T'was a pox on the village and resulting price spillage makes bitcoin a purulent bubble.
So goes Barclay Bank's epidemiological theory of bitcoin, at least.
2. There once was a golem in testnet
But reckoning it wasn't the best bet, GNT ran free, from plan A to plan B, hoping to find the best net.
Golem (GNT) has gone live on mainnet, marking a fairly momentous occasion in cryptocurrency.
3. Institutional trading tools
Roll out the features in spools. Blockchain Terminal BCT, wants to be easy as 1, 2, 3, provided you know the rules.
4. Monero's catching fire
A recent fork has seemed to inspire, a sale on one side and along for the ride, four forks as a kind of spare tire.
5. Smart contract AI
It's led some to ask why, and what should occur if humans demur to a robot having a try.
Smart contracts are designed for automation, which raises a whole lot of legal questions.
