This now is the real meaning of blockchain. Bringing disruption in all the sectors. Much should come in the future, particularly in other sectors

I was surprised when I saw your partner is Google :o Is that true? and if I may know, in which countries is your group located? How long?
Do you have telegram channel for everyone to discuss?
one more, where is your team's information?

I wanna thank you for your comment about the idea behind UCBI Banking.

Secondly, we are located in morocco, for telegram you can find ucbi banking. And for all information you gonna find everything on our website about the company the team

At Last we want you to know that we're open for all your recommandations or advices to be part of the crypto community

Explain the partnerships with MS, Google etc... thanks.

I can not go to your site and read the white paper. Your idea of creating a crypto bank is not new. What makes you different from other similar projects?

As for our partnership with MS and GOOGLE, please excuse us but the work that we are doing remains confidential. And frankly I do not understand the reaction of some about our partnerships.

Regarding Mr. Yukiang, how can you judge our concept when you have not even logged in to our site and take the time to read our whitepaper carefully (as you said) . Here is the link of our site I invite you to register as soon as possible. https://ucbibanking.com/

Maybe users here are fed of the fact that a lot of projects are claiming to be partner of big companies and turned out to be fake partnerships. You can't blame users who had enough of dirty strategies. What you can provide is the valid proof of partnership and their official statement that you are really in collaboration with these companies. Otherwise, it will be treated a not serious claim from your end.

Actually I understand you, however, we will give the information as and by official via our website just for indication the partnership with microsoft and google are advertising thank you are patience thank you

Since it rests on the concept of a person’s stake (we’ll learn that in a while), the percentage of blocks that can be confirmed by the user is offered on a linear scale.

Wtf, it says "Occupation:King of morocco" and by looking up this name he is effectively the King of Morocco, how is that possible that he is the director of this project  ???

As an African based person, i see UCBI as the first and innovative  way to open Morocco and the continent to the cryptocurrency world. I'm interested and would like to know more about your goals and what difference are you bringing ?

Our goal is to link Morocco to the global market for the processing of blockchain transactions between Morocco, Africa and the rest of the world and the traceability and securitization of transactions.

UCBI Telegram Messaging meets blockchain

Telegram is one of the world’s largest messaging platforms. Back in March, Telegram celebrated a huge milestone - reaching 200 million monthly active users with more than 70 billion messages sent every day. The cryptocurrency community has strong ties with Telegram. Many token sales, exchanges and crypto related projects use Telegram as a means of communication – including Liquid.

Last year Telegram joined the blockchain, raising funds in private rounds to build the Telegram Open Network (TON), a multi-blockchain Proof-of-Stake system, upon which cryptocurrencies and digital applications will be built.

TON is a messaging app, a file storage service, a hive of decentralized applications, a payments service and much more, with a native token, Gram, used for gas fees, voting power and payment for many TON services.

Feature of the Month - Blockchain Connect

Lack of reliability for fiat on and off ramps is a persistent challenge for crypto and it isn’t going away soon. But we like a challenge. We’ve developed an extensive global banking network across the EU, UK, and US to ensure users can easily and securely fund their trading accounts with fiat.

There are few exchanges in the world with those capabilities and even fewer, if any, that hold themselves to the core principle of cryptocurrencies: Financial sovereignty.

A fundamental part of launching The PIT was empowering users to maximize control of their private keys, as we’ve always done with our non-custodial Wallet and products. To ensure and encourage users can do so, we developed a seamless connection function to link Blockchain Wallets with trading accounts on The PIT.

With Blockchain Connect, users can seamlessly and swiftly transfer funds between their trading account and Wallet - all with the click of a button. No copy and pasting addresses. No typos.

We’re thrilled to be bringing this exchange to you all, but our devout belief that non-custodial services will be the future of finance has never, and will never take a backseat.

Many Bitcoin Forks Are There And Should You should know:

For a lot of people there is only Bitcoin (BTC) and a couple of other popular forks for Bitcoin such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV or Bitcoin Gold, but in reality there are much more than just these. According to a website called Forkdrop that is tracking the available Bitcoin, as well as some altcoin forks, the number is quite big already – there are 105 Bitcoin fork projects in total, though not all of them are active or operational yet. Of those 105 in total, 74 are considered active projects relevant to holders of Bitcoin (BTC) and the remaining 31 are considered historic and are no longer relevant. Furthermore of the 74 active Bitcoin fork projects 45 projects have a currently-operating blockchain network capable of transacting and 29 projects do not have a currently-operating blockchain network capable of transacting, however are considered to be still in development.

How scammers try to make money on reputable projects. Avoid scammers!!.

UCBI isn’t the first token that got used to scam by bad users. This practice has been going for a pretty long time. Everyone knows the UCBI project, a Marco Banking solution for Ethereum & Bitcoin. It has good value to exchange or Buy token. UCBI also has has listed on ICO Bench. But instead of UCBI, traders may buy a scam token, create an account by UCBI yourself. Login to dashbaord and join our Telegram group (t.me/ucbi_banking) They keep an artificially high volume that you can find on all other exchanges.

What Are Investor Relations?
The best way to describe them is to think of the CEO of a publicly-traded corporation. The CEO is the top of the corporate pyramid, and is completely responsible for the running of the entire company to make it more recognizable.
Most mid-cap and larger corporations have a dedicated investor-relations team ranging from one individual to dozens. The purpose of this team is twofold. Their first major responsibility is to build demand for the stock/product. The investor relations team is responsible for marketing the company to investors to entice them to believe that their company is a great investment. One can accomplish this by proactively reaching out to investors:
attending investor events
holding meetings with investors who typically hold stock of companies like yours
answering investor questions that come into your office from potential shareholders
dealing with certified audit companies and periodic due-diligence projects

What is the best way to become a professional crypto trader?

The movement in cryptos is alot like Forex and futures. Mad algorithmic volatility. You would need to learn how to trade the big whipsaws like you saw in Ethereum and Bitcoin the last few weeks. If you go in with no experience expect to be stopped out constantly.

Focus on trading algorithmic order flow. Don’t be greedy. Get out with a reasonable profit and wait to get back in. The key is to buy when everyone is selling in a panic and sell when everyone is buying when euphoric. When you get your head on straight by doing the opposite of what your brain is telling you to do you start to make money.

AI systems generally require large amounts of data. However, organisations must comply with the minimisation principle under data protection law if using personal data. This means ensuring that any personal data is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.

What is adequate, relevant and necessary in relation to AI systems will be use-case specific. However, there are a number of techniques that organisations can adopt in order to develop AI systems which process as little personal data as possible, while still remaining functional. In this blog, we explore some of the most relevant techniques for supervised Machine Learning (ML) systems, which are currently the most common type of AI in use.

Do Payment Gateways Affect your Business?
Choosing the right payment gateway is crucial when it comes to the success of your e-commerce store. Payment gateways are like a bridge between the buyer and seller. They permit fund transfer directly to the seller, keeping the security and comfort of the buyer in mind.

As per a survey by Baymard Institute, 6% of the customers abandoned their cart because there weren’t enough payment methods available. Added to this, most users these days prefer mobile payment options as they are quick and effortless.

Are we headed for a worldwide recession?
As Crypto is a worldwide currency it retains a balance across other currencies that rise and fall.

Bitcoin fell which would be normal but it should be more difficult to move than individual currencies as it’s a world-wide currency.

You can see that although Bitcoin has fallen in the last days it’s nothing like the drop in the Dow and other major currencies.

There are a lot of things happening at once that could cause a world-wide recession. For instance Brexit, which the British government and EU are making a hash of, instability in China and Hong Kong all make for the ingredients that could create the environment for recession.

Telegram Finally Releases Code for Its $1.7 Billion TON Blockchain
Telegram’s blockchain project, TON, has entered the last preparation stage before going live.

The code for running a blockchain node was released on the test network portal late Friday. Now developers and community members interested in the messaging app provider’s blockchain can start kicking the tires of a full node, a validator node and the blockchain explorer.

The release had been previously scheduled for Sept. 1, according to the sources familiar with the project’s progress, but was delayed a few days for unclear reasons.

According to Mitja Goroshevsky, CTO of TON Labs, which is working on tools for devs, there are currently 100 nodes maintained by Telegram itself on the testnet. Several more are maintained by his startup, helmed by investors in Telegram’s token sale, which raised $1.7 billion in early 2018.

“Source code for a full node that can access testnet, create and validate blocks has been released. Lite client was released several months ago.

Spanish banking giant Santander has issued and settled a $20 million bond on the Ethereum blockchain.

The bank itself is the issuer, it announced Thursday, adding that the bond carries a quarterly coupon of 1.98%. The one-year bond will exist on the blockchain until maturity.

Santander Securities Services is serving as a tokenization agent and custodian of the cryptographic keys for the tokenized bond and tokenized cash. “The cash used to complete the investment (on-chain delivery-versus-payment) and the quarterly coupons have also been tokenised, i.e., represented digitally on the blockchain,” the bank explained.

The automation of end-to-end process has helped Santander reduce the number of intermediaries required in the process, thus making the transaction “faster, more efficient and simpler.”

London-based fintech startup Nivaura lent technical support to Santander, while law firm Allen & Overy provided legal advice, per the announcement. Santander also has a stake in Nivaura, having invested in the startup via its venture arm, Santander InnoVentures, in February.

Blockchainer forum will tackle the blockchain technology development, application and investment and other aspects of exchanges in order to open the doors for blockchain development promotion, future application, infrastructure and game development. Among the speakers there will be Li Jun (Co-founder of Onchain, Founder of Ontology), Dr. Andrew Long (Founder of CP Chain), Chen BoHui (Chairman of the Asia Blockchain Industry Institute), etc.

When you find yourself completely overwhelmed by something exciting, surprising, colorful, delicious, tuneful, beautiful, funny, inexplicable, shocking, huge, or joyful, your eyes grow big, your mouth drops open and the rest of the world kind of disappears for a moment. You have no choice but to stand right where you are and just take it all in.
Right now, your life is full of moments like these, when the world is so extraordinary that we struggle to wrap our heads around the bigness of it all — it’s something we might call “wonder.”
I think it’s a big part of our responsibility as parents to help you encounter as many wonderful moments as you can, and we’re encouraging you to discover what you love by trying new things, exploring interesting places, playing new games, meeting new people, watching new films, eating new food and listening to new music.
Wonder is about experiencing more of the world, exploring it, and using it to stretch and expand our brains (remember that understanding the world is a key part of growing up? So finding moments of wonder are a really good way to keep growing up).
When it comes to wonder, I have two bits of not-great news, and one bit of much better news for you.

Hi, is there any bounty or airdrop programme to win your tokens

we’d like to share an update about the exciting new features we’ve just introduced into Crypto Wallet in the beta version of our Opera browser on Android (version 53 beta). Starting today, we have added support for Bitcoin and TRON blockchains. This is a further step towards making Web 3 more mainstream.

Until now, our built-in Crypto Wallet had only supported Ethereum and ERC-tokens. We are now making it more inclusive by supporting Bitcoin and TRON. It’s now safe to say that our browsers are Web 3 ready and that this should be the new standard for all browsers.

Bitcoin support in Opera’s Crypto Wallet

Bitcoin was the initial blockchain that piqued the world’s interest in cryptocurrencies. Currently, its value is soaring. Traditionally, Bitcoin has been used for speculation and storage of value but rarely for actual payments. With this release, Opera’s Android browser (beta) allows users to send and receive Bitcoin (BTC) and access their transaction history.

Most importantly, we are including an experimental integration of Web 3, which makes it possible for websites to request and receive addresses and for users to make transactions with Bitcoin. Opera is bringing Bitcoin to Web 3, allowing you to use this cryptocurrency for transactions on the Web.

Opera adds TRON support

TRON is a popular and quickly growing blockchain. With this release, Crypto Wallet in the Opera browser on Android (beta) will be displaying TRX and TRC10 token balances. It will also allow users to send and receive TRC10 and TRX tokens and access their transaction history.

Every blog needs a structure, every article needs an outline.
First, determining the structure of your blog simply means categorizing topics you want to write about and writing about them consistently.

For example, you could categorize content related to crypto regulations, locally, nationally, and globally, together and continue tagging new articles under something like “ICO Regulation Updates”. Doing this is important as readers will begin to return to your blog for specific types of content.

Second, your articles should have a consistent outline. Good writers know that a strong outline helps identify the key topics of your content and helps build out the sections.

The Internet has been one of the most transformative existences in the contemporary world and modernity. Monnin and colleagues attempted to articulate some of the philosophical aspects of the Internet in Toward a Philosophy of the Web. Whereas a clear first phase of the Internet could be formulated as the free and widespread transfer of information, a new and emerging phase of the Internet could be shaped as the secure and decentralized transfer of value. Blockchain technology is one means of enabling secure value transfer across networks; blockchains are the distributed ledger software that underlies cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. More broadly the ability to transfer value across networks in ways that obviate the need for traditional intermediaries could come to allow all human interaction regarding value transfer and contractual engagement to be instantiated in blockchains for quicker, easier, less costly, and less risky execution. Blockchains could become a tracking register for much of world activity; essentially the whole of a society's memory, a tool for more profoundly automating human patterns, and integrating human and technological activity.

Just as the Internet was a revolutionary occurrence in reality that triggered a rethinking of self, world, materiality, embodiment, the individual and society, subjectivation, objectification, potentiality, temporality, and other philosophical topics, blockchains too warrant philosophical inquiry. Many philosophical topics might be probed, including and extending beyond the classical fields of study in ontology, epistemology, and axiology/ethics. Ontology most broadly treats questions of existence; what is blockchain technology, how might it be characterized, how is it being created, implemented, and adopted; how does it operate in the world; definitions, classifications, teleology, possibilities, and limitations. Epistemology deals with knowledge; are there new kinds of things that blockchain technology is helping us to know, like what for example; and with what proof or truth standard; how do we know; what new knowledge is required to engage with blockchain technology? Axiology, ethics, and aesthetics concern how blockchain technology is valorized, taken up, and regarded; what aspects are being valued, and over or undervalued and why; what behavioral norms are arising; what constitutes a blockchain aesthetics, what aspects are seen and valued as beautiful, elegant, or aesthetically pleasing? A philosophy of blockchains might also be quite practical, and aim to provide a concise definition of what the technology is and its purpose and dimensions.

The scope of this CFP is to consider a wide variety of philosophical approaches, schools, methods, and fields, and as such invites the broad philosophical investigation of topics related to blockchain technology. This special journal issue welcomes submissions of long (approximately 8,000 words) and short papers (approximately 4,000 words) addressing these and other related topics:

- Organizational models: hierarchical, decentralized, hybrid, complex adaptive systems
- Inter-agent coordination systems, human-technology relations, algorithmic reality
- Individual and society: digital social realities, social contracts, and rules of law
- Blockchains and cognition, learning, artificial intelligence, automated memory
- Parts-whole; global-local; atomism-holism; plurality-monolithicity; materialism-idealism; digital-physical realities; immune systems (porous-fixed)
- Intelligent agent reputation systems, consensus trust, network systems, checks and balances, good-agent behavior; automation economy
- Blockchains and automation: smart contracts, Dapps, DAOs, DACs, DCOs, DASs
- Blockchain-enabled technology entities: IOT, drones, robotics, cognitive enhancement
- Blockchains and mining: decentralized participative ecosystems, innovation
- Blockchain temporality: blocktime, programmable time, contingent time, futurity, historicity, virtual reality, cloud computing, temporal multiplicity
- Blockchain sociality: social good-social pathology; abundance-scarcity; transcendence-immanence; microaggression-recognition
- Blockchain language grammars; forms of life; organicism; virtue; happiness (hedonic-eudaemonic); personal utility functions, actualization
- Blockchain Aesthetics: digital morality, computational ethics modules; moral pluralism

Changes Afoot for Philippine Crypto-Friendly Economic Zone
The special economic zone in the Philippines known for its crypto friendliness is undergoing some changes. Government-owned Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (Ceza) is investigating a case involving one of its licensed crypto exchanges after a tip from the Chinese government. The authority has also issued new directives to all of its licensees, including 40 crypto exchange operators.

A deep test of support pushed the bitcoin market down $600 over the course of an hour. Ultimately, after testing weekly support, the market managed to retrace the entire drop and push a new high.

At the moment, we are retesting macro support/resistance at $10,300 and if we can manage to close our weekly candle back above the support, it will be a strong bullish signal that we are likely in for a  continuation of our uptrend.

The sharing economy sounds like an attractive idea, with its promise of more convenient access to services and products, at low cost.
Via digital technology the sharing economy brings billions of people together to interact and transact. This relatively new and rapidly growing corner of the digital universe is worth many trillions — $229 billion in China alone, according to The Economist.
Yet, while the sharing economy might be expected to be an unalloyed success story, accompanied by runaway growth and stellar media coverage, the reality is less straightforward.
Unfortunately for its proponents, the sharing economy is having something of a bumpy ride. Take Uber, for example. The ride-sharing firm has been mired in disputes across the globe, its CEO resigned in 2017 following investor pressure, and it posted a loss of a billion dollars in the quarter ending September 2018.
Other sharing economy firms have run into difficulties too. With ride-sharing firms there have been reports of sexual assaults on passengers and inadequate driver background checks, for example, while ride-sharing drivers have gone to court to claim that they are employees rather than contractors.
Home-sharing firms have tangled with municipal authorities over local laws restricting use of residential property for short-term rentals, as well as having to deal with stories of accommodation being used to host pop-up parties and brothels. The result is a trust deficit, a lack of confidence that needs to be overcome if the full potential of the sharing economy is to be realised.
The sharing economy has led to the creation of some extremely highly valued technology businesses and in a very short space of time (Airbnb was founded in 2008, Uber in 2009).
While there is no universally agreed definition, one can think of the sharing economy as digitally-enabled, peer-to-peer exchange platforms for goods and services, that connect spare capacity with demand, or offer access-over-ownership by enabling renting, lending, re-selling or swapping.

Payments giant Stripe announced they will be raising $250 million in funding at a pre-money valuation of $35 billion. This happened only a week after they launched some new services and now, the money they want to raise, they want to use for growing on the international level (that includes adding more new payment products and even start working with larger companies).

When Stripe was firstly valued at $22.5 billion, they’ve raised (only) $100 million so this step represents a huge rise. Allegedly, in the round of funding are General Catalyst, Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia but it seems that SoftBank is also one of the possible players. However, it might be not in this round, but president and co-founder of Stripe, John Collison, mentioned it might be considering second round of funding.

Also, as he said, there will no be any “corporate strategics and the bank that is giving its support is Celtic Bank. However, Collison said that neither Celtic bank will be involved strategically in the whole deal. He added the $250 million will probably stay as is and everything should be finished in the next few weeks.

Worries of a twenty something

I spent about two days in bed hating myself.


Why don't I simply do the things that I know will make me feel better?

It isn't rocket science. It isn't that difficult. Get out of bed. Eat. See people. Talk to people. Exercise. Write. Read.


If you want to do something with your life, well ok just go ahead and do something.

Ugh it's too much work and I don't even know where to start. I don't know how to do anything and it'll never work. I'll be judged. I can't do it. I can't do it alone. I don't know anybody It will be a complete utter disaster and no one will care about it and of course the point of doing everything is to get attention and praise from other people. Yeah I need to get the most followers and the most views. And by doing that I have to promote myself and become a phony and pander like hell. Good job you're really following all the ideals you hold so dearly.

The Crypto Ratings Council Is Here, But Does It Hold Any Weight?

A cabal of cryptocurrency’s biggest companies have come together to launch a system for measuring a coin’s likelihood to be caught up in U.S. securities regulations.

Coinbase, Kraken, Grayscale Investments, Bittrex, Poloniex parent company Circle and Anchorage custody services, among others, have established the Crypto Ratings Council (CRC). This council will rate specific cryptocurrencies on a scale of one to five based on the likelihood that they qualify as securities (1 being the least likely and 5 being the most likely).

This ratings system, as Blockchain.info lawyer Marco Santori noted on Twitter, is essentially “a Hot or Not for the Howey Test” — the litmus for classifying whether or not an asset is a security based on the Securities Act of 1933.

Money20/20 Will Highlight the Financial Future

The phrase “Money makes the world go 'round” speaks to the importance and essential nature of money in everyday life.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Heading to 100 EH/s: How Price, Halving and Security Are Involved


Computing power does not determine the price of cryptocurrency — on the contrary, the price of cryptocurrency affects computing power. Recently, there has been a heated discussion about Bitcoin’s hash rate with many people looking forward to seeing it break 100 exahashes per second (EH/s).

So it’s important to look at the relationship between Bitcoin’s hash rate, price, halving and security.

The essence of cryptocurrency mining is to conduct hash rate operations, so computing power can be measured in the number of hashing operations per second. For example, Bitcoin’s hash rate is about to break 100 EH/s, meaning that 100 exahash operations can be completed in one second.

Canadian Mining Firm Is First Bitcoin Company to Hit Toronto Stock Exchange

North America’s largest bitcoin mining firm will soon trade publicly on Canada’s premier stock exchange.

On October 9, 2019, Hut 8 will officially begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Before graduating to the largest stock exchange in Canada, Hut 8 was listed on the Canadian Venture Exchange, a smaller public exchange for emerging businesses which operates under the same umbrella as the TSX.

“The TSX is the fourth-largest exchange in North America and one of the largest in the world. Being listed on the TSX will broaden the investor audience for Hut 8 and the hope is that will lead to more investor interest and liquidity for the shares,” Hut 8 CEO Andrew Kiguel told Bitcoin Magazine.

Bitcoin Magazine’s Week in Review

Anyone who tells you about the history of cryptocurrencies, and bitcoin in particular, will point out that the entire cryptocurrency era began in 2008 in the wake of the worst financial crisis in 75 years.

In a recent opinion piece, Peter C. Earle, a research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, describes the increasing central bank negative interest rate phenomenon, the role of bitcoin in the financial space and how both investors and regulators should view the rise of the asset.

So far, private individuals and firms have dominated the bitcoin mining sector. But things may soon be changing in Eastern Europe. In a video that has recently been getting attention, the president of Belarus spoke about the prospect of using the country’s nuclear power to mine bitcoin.

Naturally, this raised questions about how a country-backed mining initiative could help the Bitcoin network or the country that undertakes it.

The Current Market Situation
As of October 4th, crypto markets are still struggling to recover. Since its last sharp drop, BTC fails to retrace to $8500 level while many other currencies see significant losses. As of publishing time, BTC dominance remains around 67%.

BTC/USDT Daily Chart
On the chart, we can see that the price made a break of the lower resistance boundary of the “triangle with a flat bottom” formation in the zone of $9560-9580. At the same time, 157 SMA was broken, which confirmed the dominance of sellers. Now the price is trading around $8100-8250, at the border of the resistance of descending channel. Consolidation of the price indicates the current period of accumulation, interest of buyers and a potential return to the upper boundary of the descending channel to $9100-9200 zone. After the middle of the month, the price may rebound from the support level of the descending channel and return to the area of $8900-9300, where there is a strong resistance. Also, the other day, the level of 8200 was traded and once again protected. The common mood is to fall, and we know that often the market goes against the majority. A lot of people are in shorts and this is an excellent point for growth (their stops and liquidation of positions, as was the case recently with longsters)

Hong Kong is currently mired in one of the most widely covered political crises of 2019. And, meanwhile, the trading price for bitcoin in the country has been surging. Cryptocurrency prices around the world have been largely decreasing, but data from LocalBitcoins shows that residents of Hong Kong are now turning to bitcoin as a secure store of value in the face of upheaval against the government.

In this episode of the "Bitcoin Magazine Podcast," Dave Hollerith talks with Nathan Hadley, a.k.a. Bitcoin Schmitcoin, to hear about what it's like to be a bitcoin price analyst. Hadley discusses how he uses technical analysis to gauge the bitcoin price, why that works better than fundamental analysis in this market and what will need to be seen in the market before bitcoin takes a bigger bull run. Hadley also explains why most self-proclaimed "traders" are full of it and reflects on some of the craziest days in cryptocurrency price action that he has ever seen.

Hong Kong Issues Rules for Crypto Asset Managers

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has recently released rules and regulations for fund managers dealing with crypto assets.

The securities regulator published a 37-page document titled “Proforma Terms and Conditions for Licensed Corporations which Manage Portfolios that Invest in Virtual Assets” on October 4, 2019. It provided detailed guidance for entities managing portfolios that invest in “virtual assets,” its term for cryptocurrencies.

According to the document, virtual asset fund managers in Hong Kong should at all times maintain liquid capital at a minimum of 3 million Hong Kong dollars (roughly $380,000) and its variable required liquid capital. In addition, sufficient human and technical resources and experience are required, depending on the amount of assets under management.

As opposed to mainland China, where ICOs and exchanges providing cryptocurrency trading have been banned since September 2017, the securities regulator lays out a legal framework for ICOs.

Hong Kong Free Press Gives BitPay the Boot, Brings BTCPay Onboard

A Troubled Relationship
The Hong Kong Free Press is known for being particularly unbiased in its reporting. In a period where Hong Kong is mired in anti-government protests and political upheaval, many have turned to the publication as a means of getting unfettered, uncensored posts about events in Hong Kong.

The nonprofit depends on donations to run its operations, which was why it pitched its tent with BitPay, so it could receive bitcoin from donors easily. However, things became tense barely a month into this new partnership. At the time, Tom Grundy, the founder and editor-in-chief of the publication, took to Twitter to thank everyone who has donated HK$14,817 ($1,888 USD) to their cause. He followed that appreciation up with an announcement that the news agency will be temporarily suspending bitcoin payments due to BitPay's refusal to send the funds to them.

Grundy complained that BitPay had been sitting on the funds for almost a month, while adding that the payment processor had refused to process their transactions because Hong Kong banks don’t support IBAN, an international standard for identifying bank accounts while effecting financial transactions. :-*

Bitcoin Magazine’s Week in Review

The inclusion of cryptocurrencies in the tax system of the United States took an interesting, if unsatisfying, turn this week as well, when the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published its Revenue Ruling 2019-24 on October 9, 2019.

A follow-up to the draft published by the tax authority back in 2014, the new guidance provides some clarity on how the agency would tax holders for airdrops and hard forks, as well as the classification of taxable activities. This publication is a significant step for crypto taxation, but the guidance creates more questions than answers.

Binance Adds P2P Platform for Chinese Investors, Supports Alipay and WeChat

Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance has added support for Chinese users of WeChat and Alipay, circumventing a Chinese ban on cryptocurrency exchanges by launching a P2P service that is accessible by Chinese citizens.

Binance’s P2P trading capability was announced October 9, 2019, giving Chinese investors the ability to trade bitcoin, ether and tether against the Chinese yuan. Access to the service was initially limited to Android users that have had Binance accounts for more than 30 days, with plans to offer the service to iOS and web users also announced.

However, amid the buzz and excitement over the news, it would seem that Changpeng Zhao, the chief executive of the exchange, caused some confusion concerning the incorporation of WeChat Pay and Alipay, two mobile payment platforms that are popular in China, into its payment ecosystem.

A Twitter user, who stumbled on the feature on her trading platform, took her discovery to social media to ask whether Alipay and WeChat Pay had indeed been added to the Binance payment system. Answering, Zhao simply said, “Yes.”

Who decide to print too much fiat currency out of nothing that resulted to massive inflation? It was your central government, the central bank in cooperation with commercial banks and it was you who paid for their wrong decisions.

Now think of a world where you are in control of your funds, personal data and you can do transactions with paying huge hidden bank charges. Where you are free to spend any amount, small or large anywhere in the world and your identity is safe. A banking system where your funds cannot be diluted by government creating it out of nothing and giving it to commercial banks to pursue their selfish interest.
