As a fervent bitcoin enthusiast, I frequently come across the following objection: In contrast to physical, analog things, bitcoin and similar crypto assets are completely virtual and digital. As such, they are neither tangible nor graspable and would thus lack any real basis of value. Because of their digital nature, many people still object to bitcoin, refuse to take it seriously or consider it altogether too scary. Some even lump the crypto asset in with other eerie and unsavory developments in tech and the ongoing digital transformation. Be Not Afraid of the Digital World Among greatest digital threats seems to...

The Fed's funny money has two beneficiaries: the rich and Bernie Sanders. | Source: JONATHAN ALCORN / AFP The Federal Reserve is reportedly considering loaning money to hedge funds for them to make risky bets.

Bernie Sanders has been rising fast as a 2020 presidential contender, and recent polls suggest that he’s doubled his lead over Donald Trump and would clobber him in a head-to-head election.

Bitcoin is a movement founded on individual monetary sovereignty, transparency and peer-to-peer auditability enabled by a breakthrough in technology. It launched at a time when trust in the world’s financial institutions was at an all-time low and struck a chord. Bitcoin’s success has led to profits, which has, in turn, led to complacency. Today, people are once again placing their trust in new crypto institutions, some of which have done very little to earn that privilege. Over $4.4 billion was lost as a result of crypto exit scams and thefts in 2019 alone and billions more are likely at risk...

Their brief argues that Reg BI, which the SEC approved last June, cannot stand because it fails to harmonize the standards of conduct for broker-dealers and RIAs as required by Section 913 of Dodd-Frank. That section required Congress to create a broker standard of care “no less stringent than the standard applicable to investment advisers.” Below, some...

Full nodes are an indispensable part of Bitcoin’s system of checks and balances. They further decentralize the network, they keep miners honest, they verify and register every transaction that takes place on the blockchain, and they provide more autonomy and privacy to users. In order to run a full Bitcoin node, it’s enough to download the Bitcoin Core client on your computer and wait for the initial block download (IBD) to complete. However, some individuals may find that process cumbersome and unnecessarily time consuming. Consequently, companies have developed solutions that minimize the struggles of downloading and running a full node...

Can any stablecoin topple tether? In 2019, the answer to that question was an emphatic ‘No.’ Despite a string of stablecoins being released onto the market, tether (USDT) increased its grip on the cryptoconomy’s fiat supply, racking up $127B of on-chain volume on Ethereum alone. This year, the king of stablecoins faces a renewed assault from Binance’s BUSD, Saga’s SGD, and a revitalized USD Coin (USDC). But can any of them claw market share from tether, or will the king of stablecoins increase its stranglehold?

In May of 2020, bitcoin will see its next halving: the reduction of the reward for successfully mining a block. The Nakamoto white paper specifies that every 210,000 blocks, the reward for successfully mining a block is cut by half. But while these occur roughly every four years (with the estimated reward dropping to one Satoshi on or around the year 2140), the Bitcoin Halvening of 2020 is particularly momentous. At present, the reward for mining a block is 12.5 BTC; in May, the reward for successfully adding a block to the blockchain will drop to 6.25 BTC per block....

The victims of this defunct exchange wanted to get their money back, which is only normal. The end of the Cryptsy Saga, for now In most cases, there is little to no recourse when an exchange suddenly goes dark. During the early stages of the cryptocurrency industry, such practices were sadly rather common. It now appears a resolution is in sight for all of the Cryptsy victims. Coinbase has...

Bitcoin’s consensus layer has remained unchanged for over two years now. Since Segregated Witness (SegWit), which activated in August 2017, no hard fork or soft fork protocol upgrades have been deployed at all*, marking Bitcoin’s longest stretch without consensus forks so far. But this stretch may soon come to an end: several backward-compatible soft forks are currently in development. Optimistically, some of them may go live in 2020 — if they gather sufficient support from the Bitcoin ecosystem. These could be Bitcoin’s protocol upgrades in the new year … or perhaps in the new decennium. Schnorr/Taproot/Tapscript Schnorr signatures are considered...

With prices falling lower throughout 2018 and most of 2019, it is evident that the funds raised during the ICO has lost value as well. Those $12...

So my wife and I decided to buy a house and move there — that was 14 years ago.” Now, in a less-than-expected twist, Peterson is working on bootstrapping bitcoin economies in two villages on the eastern coast of the...

It also allows VYGR Digital to perform all operations in a regulatory compliant manner, while cements its position as...

Although Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper suggests that privacy was a design goal of the Bitcoin protocol, blockchain analysis can often break users’ privacy. This is a problem. Bitcoin users might not necessarily want the world to know where they spend their money, what they earn or how much they own, while businesses may not want to leak transaction details to competitors — to name some examples. But there are solutions to regain privacy, like CoinJoin. Some of the most popular mixing solutions available today use this trick, including Wasabi Wallet (which leverages ZeroLink) and Samourai Wallet (which leverages Whirlpool). In...
