Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up: 6 April 2018

What's going on in cryptocurrency?
The United Nations of crypto, on India's crypto crackdown, Ripple's unwanted ICO, cryptocurrency stability and experts on regulation.
1. All in attendance, hi
The United Nations of cryptocurrency is still a dream.
But it's a dream that's gradually coming to life, says Rupert Hackett, CEO of bitcoin.com.au.
2. How many times can one country ban cryptocurrency?
So far, zero.
3. Turns out you can launch ICOs on Ripple. Also turns out that Ripple's not keen on it
And also turns out that Ripple can't really stop it.
A startup named Allvor is taking a token to the Ripple ledger, but to Ripple's mild annoyance.
4. Eaaasy there, markets, eaaasy
Don't spook 'em, the prices are sleeping.
5. Ever noticed how some regulators walk like this, but some regulators walk like that?
A borderless technology like cryptocurrency probably works best with global regulations.
