ABDnin Kaliforniya eyaletinde yaşayan 21 yaşındaki bir kripto para yatırımcısının, Bitcoin ile kara para akladığı ortaya çıktı. ABD'nin finansal hukukuyla adeta dalga geçen genç hakkında yasal süreç başlatıldı. Kaliforniyanin Güney Bölgesi Adalet Bakanlığından gelen haberler, kripto paraların kötü amaçlarla da kullanılabileceklerini gözler önüne seriyor. Bu açıdan bakıldığında günümüz para birimlerinin de kötü amaçlarla kullanılabildiklerini değerlendirmek gerekiyor. 21 yaşındaki Jacob Burrel Campos isimli bir gencin karıştığı olaydaki rakamlar ise dudak uçuklatıcı. Ocak 2015ten Nisan 2016ya kadar geçen sürede genç Burrelin bir Bitcoin alım-satım sistemi aracılığıyla ABDde yaşayan yaklaşık 900 kişiye 750 bin dolar değerinde Bitcoin sattığı söyleniyor. Burrelin borsada lisansı bulunan bir kripto para satıcısı olmadığı, gencin bir süre yasa dışı yollarla para aktararak kara para akladığı söyleniyor. Bu nedenle genç hem yasadışı para aktarımı yapmaktan hem de kara para aklamaktan suçlanıyor. Şubat 2015ten Şubat 2016ya kadar Burrelin ABDdeki banka hesaplarından gerçekleştirilen 30.000i aşkın işlemle en az 900 bin ABD doları elde ettiği söyleniyor. Bu miktarı kontrol etmek ve değişimleri gerçekleştirmek için gencin kullandığı platform ise Hong Kong merkezli bir kripto para borsası olan Bitfinex. Burrelin faaliyetleri, yetkili kişilere göre ABDnin para yasalarıyla ilgili büyük bir açık yüzünden gerçekleşebildi. Burrel, ABD merkezli Coinase hesabının kapatılmasından sonra, yeni değişim işlemlerinde yakayı eleverdi. Burrelin suçlandığı bir diğer konu ise Meksikadan ABDye 1 milyon dolar para kaçırmaya çalışmak. ABDde 21 yaşındaki Burrelin davasına yakında başlanacak. https://www.webtekno.com/abd-ile-dalga-gecip-bitcoin-ile-kara-para-aklayan-21-yasindaki-genc-h51881.html |

Key Highlights ETH price is recovering after trading as low as $282.73 and formed a decent support against the US Dollar. There is an ascending channel forming with current support at $296 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair is likely to rise slowly and steadily above the $300 and $308 resistance levels in the near term. Ethereum price is showing positive signs against the US Dollar and bitcoin. ETH/USD could accelerate gains above the $308 levels if it stays above $290. Ethereum Price Support There was a key downside correction initiated from the $320 swing high in ETH against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair declined below the $300 level and traded close to the $282 support level. A low was formed at $282.73 and later the price started an upside correction. It moved above the $295 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Moreover, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $321 high to $282 low. However, the upside move was prevented by the $308-310 resistance zone. Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $321 high to $282 low also acted as a resistance. At the moment, it seems like there is an ascending channel forming with current support at $296 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. As long as the price is above the channel support and $295, it is likely to move higher. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $308-310 zone. Above this, the price will most likely break the $320 swing high for more gains. Ethereum Price Analysis ETH USD Looking at the chart, ETH price is placed nicely above $295 and $290. More gains are possible if buyers continue to hold the $295 and $290 support levels. Hourly MACD The MACD is slowly moving into the bullish zone. Hourly RSI The RSI is currently placed nicely above the 50 level. Major Support Level $290 Major Resistance Level $310 https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/08/20/ethereum-price-analysis-eth-usd-could-accelerate-higher/ |

Bitcoin Price Key Highlights Bitcoin price has formed higher lows and found resistance around $6,500 to create an ascending triangle pattern on its 1-hour chart. Price is currently testing the resistance and is nearing the peak of the formation, so a breakout might be due soon. Technical indicators are giving mixed signals on which direction the breakout might take. Bitcoin price is consolidating inside an ascending triangle pattern and might be due for a breakout in either direction soon. Technical Indicators Signals The 100 SMA is above the longer-term 200 SMA to signal that the path of least resistance is to the upside. This suggests that an upside break is more likely to occur than a break lower. Also, the moving averages are near the triangle bottom to add to its strength as a floor around $6,400. RSI is heading lower to signal that selling pressure is in play and that resistance would likely hold for now. Stochastic is also in the overbought region and turning lower suggests a pickup in bearish momentum. The chart pattern is around $600 in height so the resulting rally or selloff after a breakout could be of the same size. BTCUSD Chart from TradingView Market Factors Bulls continue to defend long-term support levels for bitcoin, so theres a strong chance that the floor wont be giving way anytime soon. Buyers now have another attempt to spur a larger rebound, possibly one that could last longer on a break of nearby resistance levels. The anticipation for the SEC decision on the bitcoin ETF applications put on hold is building up as the end of the month nears and September approaches. However, a denial could still lead to another round of losses for bitcoin and its peers while approval might see sustained gains. https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/08/20/bitcoin-btc-price-watch-waiting-for-a-triangle-breakout/ |

Venezuelanın enflasyonu %100.000 oranında artarken, ulusal para birimi Bolivar, ülkenin hızla yükselen enflasyonu nedeniyle devalüasyonunu sürdürüyor.
1 dolar 9,2 milyon Bolivar yapıyor
17 Ağustosta müşterilerle takas usulü alışveriş yapan Purse.iodaki destek şefi Eduardo Gomez attığı twitte Bolivarın son durumunu şu şekilde özetledi:
Dün, 1 Bitcoin 44 milyar Bolivara eşitti, şu an ise 1 Bitcoin, 59 milyar Bolivar yapıyor. Bolivarın ani düşüşünden önce 1 dolar 6,7 milyon Bolivara denk gelirken şu an 9,2 milyona denk geliyor.
Durum şu an daha da iyileşmiş görünüyor, ancak yine de 1 USD 240.000 VEFnin biraz üzerinde seyrediyor. Venezuela Bolivarı, şu anda dünyanın en az değerli olan para birimidir. Bitcoinin mevcut davranışına bağlı olarak, tokenin fiyatı her 18 günde bir ikiye katlanıyor. Venezuela kriptosunun, ticaretini yapan kripto para borsası LocalBitcoinsin, hacmi 20 trilyondan az olan VEFnin altına işlendiğini gösteriyor.
Hiperbitcoinization durumu
Venezuelanın hiperenflasyon durumu kripto para kullanımında bariz bir artışa neden oldu. Locha.ionun geliştiricisi Randy Brito, ülkedeki hiperbitcoinization u uyandırmayı amaçlayan projesi için destek önerisinde bulundu. Yazım sırasında ise bir BTC yaklaşık 1,5 milyar VEFe denk geliyor.

Scammers are threatening to reveal cheating husbands to their wives and asking for bitcoin ransom check the details in this edition of The Daily. A porn streaming website now rewards its users with tokens, and hair sprays are sold for BTC and BCH. Also, find out what Brits think about blockchain and learn about the latest incarnations of the technology. Also read: Binance Launches in Liechtenstein, ZB.com Opens Office in Malta Scammers Threaten Cheating Husbands, Ask for Bitcoin The Daily: Husbands Blackmailed for Bitcoin, Blockchain This and ThatThe U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has recently issued a warning about new scams involving cryptocurrency: fraudsters have been sending letters threatening to reveal cheating husbands to their wives and relatives unless they are paid thousands of dollars in bitcoin (BTC). The FBIs Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) says theres been a significant increase in the number of extortion attempts of this kind. A variety of scenarios have been reported but the scammers usually accuse people of cheating and visiting porn sites, and claim to possess other compromising information as well. Threats like I know about the secret you are keeping from your wife and I installed malware on the adult video site are often part of the correspondence. Peoples personal data like names, usernames, or passwords is included to intimidate the targeted individuals. In most cases, the recipient is instructed to pay a ransom in bitcoin. The Bureau asks victims to reach out to the local FBI office and file a complaint with the IC3 at www.ic3.gov, providing any relevant information including the extortion email and the BTC address. Porn Site Rewards Viewers with Tokens Speaking about earthly temptations, a leading adult website now wants to reward its users with cryptocurrency. Tube8, a subsidiary of Pornhub, one of the largest platforms in the genre which boasts over 150 million page visits a month, is now moving onto the blockchain. The porn streaming service told Hard Fork it is tokenizing itself through a partnership with Vice Industry Token (VIT). According to the report, the deal will allow users to earn VIT tokens while enjoying the Tube8 videos. The Daily: Husbands Blackmailed for Bitcoin, Blockchain This and That The transformation is scheduled to take place by the end of the year, promising to turn Tube8 into the very first major adult platform to pay its users for their activity in cryptos. By doing so, Pornhub, which is already accepting payments in verge, tron and zencash, is truly spearheading crypto adoption and blockchain implementation in the adult industry, taking advantage of the anonymity provided by cryptocurrencies, which is important for its customers. Something for the Ladies: Buy Hairspray with Bitcoin The Daily: Husbands Blackmailed for Bitcoin, Blockchain This and ThatThinking about finding new intersections between beauty and technology, beyond formula or packaging, R+Co, the beauty collective founded by stylists Howard McLaren, Thom Priano, and Garren, is now incorporating bitcoin core (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH) payments into its business, The Cut reports. The team thinks its a logical next step. Once you decide to pay for your hairspray with any of these leading cryptocurrencies, The Culture of Hairdressing promises a simple online checkout experience. After providing billing and shipping information, ladies will be prompted to choose a payment method and they can opt to spend cryptocurrency instead of reaching for the credit card. Selecting the bitcoin option will transfer them to Bitpay where they need to complete the purchase within 15 minutes. Excited about the new service, R+Cos president Dan Langer said: Blockchain technology is going to be one of the future disruptors in the beauty industry. It will allow consumers the ability to leverage their data and purchase behavior in all kinds of new shopping ways
from reviews to rewards to product benefits. In order to stay at the forefront of this emerging thinking we wanted to integrate components of it while still in its early stages like paying with Bitcoin and learn with it as it evolves. Blockchain This, Blockchain That Bitcoin payments thats fine, but blockchain is not something everyone accepts without prejudice. Almost half of Brits, for example, wouldnt trust an organization using it, new research from IP EXPO Europe has discovered. The authors have found that over a third of British people (35%) would not trust a company employing the technology to keep their information secure. The main reason for their mistrust is not knowing what blockchain really is. Another 11% of the respondents in the poll conducted by One Pulse, who believe they know what blockchain is, would also not trust an organization thats using it. Both figures represent almost half of UK citizens. Add to that the 28% who say they wouldnt trust a firm using any technology they dont understand and youll realize how important it is for businesses to ensure they dont confuse their customers while trying to improve their technical capabilities or simply riding the wave of the crypto craze. The Daily: Husbands Blackmailed for Bitcoin, Blockchain This and That Nevertheless, the blockchain mania goes on and this week produced a number of examples. We learned that Italian insurance companies are testing a blockchain-based solution to resolve disputes involving car-liability claims, Wyoming farmers want to use the distributed ledger technology to track what their cattle eats and then brand their beef as superior, blockchain-proof probably, and the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation has developed a blockchain platform to improve electronic invoicing
What? Oh, and Chinas first blockchain social network is the brainchild of a 24-year-old female poker player, mainstream media informed us. Realizing the importance of blockchain education, Hong Kong authorities have granted $20 million USD to several local universities that are expected to use the funds to finance the research and development of blockchain-based payments systems. And in the Philippines, one of the oldest universities, Ateneo de Manila, is partnering with a healthcare service provider to set up a research laboratory powered by blockchain. All this is happening after Turkeys Bahçeşehir University inaugurated the countrys first blockchain innovation center. Yes, a lot of education is needed when it comes to blockchain.

Announcing this week he intended to burst the ecosystems bubble because of Lambos and to the moon, and all that, one of the most respected thought leaders in cryptocurrency, Andreas M. Antonopoulos revealed he believes bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) are a terrible idea. The author of The Internet of Money and the seminal Mastering Bitcoin does think bitcoin ETFs are coming, but he also suggests bitcoin ETFs mean a kind of financialization that runs directly counter to the entire point of Bitcoin specifically and cryptocurrency generally. Also read: Bitcoin Stickers Attract Unwanted Attention from Authorities Andreas Antonopoulos Believes Bitcoin ETFs are a Terrible Idea I am actually against ETFs, Andreas Antonopoulos remarked during his brief video, Bitcoin Q&A: Why Im against ETFs. For mainstreaming enthusiasts, those who hope to get more bitcoin core (BTC) adoption, the exchange traded fund holds almost mystical appeal. The ETF is also thought to be key in the next immediate price runup. For retail investors of the traditional variety, ETFs present a nice way to hedge against risk without the bother of housing the commodity. ETFs are, then, custodial arrangements, repackaged. A fund is created and shares of the fund are sold. It has been a clever way to invest for many retail users. Proposals for a bitcoin variation would essentially involve something similar: it will have a manager who will offer a fund of bitcoin, which will be sold like shares, stocks; essentially a reserve, shares will be sold as they might traditionally through a standard brokerage account. Its a custodial reserve system, where investors do not actually hold bitcoin. Bitcoin ETFs are a Terrible Idea: Andreas Antonopoulos Excitement over ETFs in the Bitcoin community stems from the impact they had on gold prices a few years ago. Essentially the price of gold languished for well over a decade. Once introduced as an ETF, the price took off. This prospect for Bitcoiners has only become more enticing as the crypto bear market deepens. Mr. Antonopoulos first concern is over the nature of price manipulation and the ETF itself. Whatever commodity trading within the ETF scheme is subject to worldwide price swings by larger market makers. He believes should bitcoin become part of that genre, the same, maybe worse, will follow for its price. Bubble Burst He realizes he is going to burst a lot of bubbles by saying so, but Mr. Antonopoulos believes bitcoin ETFs are a terrible idea. A top reason why, he explains, is the arrangement. A bitcoin ETF is going to be a very large custodial holder of bitcoin. Though shareholders will own slices of a bitcoin ETF, theyre not in ownership of bitcoin proper, he explains. In order for that to be the case, a person is said to be an owner of bitcoin if they have the private keys. Essentially, he who holds the keys holds the bitcoin, owns the bitcoin. Bitcoin ETFs are a Terrible Idea: Andreas Antonopoulos Holding bitcoin proper allows all sorts of flexibility in practical terms. If a holder wishes to exchange bitcoin on a formal exchange, he/she can. If he/she further wishes to pick up forked coins, they can. And so on. Mr. Antonopoulos believes an ETF would change a fundamental dynamic of bitcoin, the ability to vote as an owner by making the above decisions. Instead, and though the ETF would have many customers, it is solely the bitcoin ETF that will make the decision about forked coins, and so forth. A vital feedback mechanism might be lost. He references the August 1st fork of last year, the one from which Bitcoin Cash (BCH) extends. During that time, the ecosystem had to wait to hear from exchanges, on their terms, how or even if they would accept the fork. Those with bitcoin parked on an exchange had no say. They were at the whim of exchanges. This phenomenon would be exacerbated with ETFs in the space. A future fork would have the same problems. Second Tiered Bitcoiners Another problem is centralization. The fund manager now becomes the gatekeeper, a centralized office through which governance can be impacted disproportionately. Assuring this wont be the end of bitcoin, Mr. Antonopoulos does warn it will cause price manipulation and manipulation of debates regarding how bitcoin functions in the future. He believes also that with the inevitability of another fork, bitcoin ETF related companies could very well break off themselves, and form what he calls a corpocoin, a corporate version of bitcoin. Bitcoin ETFs are a Terrible Idea: Andreas Antonopoulos Beyond that, stifling the majority of Bitcoiners will, their voice, is something he is particularly concerned about. He gives the example of beefing up security and privacy on the Bitcoin blockchain. If developers, for example, have found a way to upgrade the system to make it more privacy oriented, perhaps the heavy financial backers of that ETF fund would work to make sure it never came about so as to not rile their friends in government. Mr. Antonopoulos ended on what he worries will be a reality of bitcoin ETF enthusiasts: second tiered voices. Because they do not hold their keys, any whim of the backers versus that of the consuming public, will always side with institutional investors in most cases, locking out that segment of Bitcoiners. Do you think bitcoin ETFs would be a good thing? Share your thoughts in the comments section below. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-etfs-are-a-terrible-idea-andreas-antonopoulos/ |

he combination of falling prices and a rising hash rate -- which measures computing power -- shows how complex the economics of cryptocurrency mining are. An increasing hash rate means Bitcoin mining is still profitable enough for many players to stay put, defying speculation that prices have fallen past break-even points. That may be a reflection of how sophisticated Bitcoin mining has become after last years 1,400 percent price rally. While that drew a fair share of amateurs mining from their basements, the lucrative rewards also drove major miners to up their game by snatching up increasingly speedy chips and setting up shop in places with cheap power. Thats helped them squeeze out smaller players as prices fall to the $6,000 level. There are still major expansions happening, especially from more efficient miners, Marco Streng, chief executive officer of Genesis Mining, said by phone from London. The expansion is so big that it compensated for the drop-out of not-so-efficient miners. New Bitcoins are created when computers compete to process transactions by solving complex puzzles in exchange for tokens. As mining power increases, the calculations needed to generate new digital coins become harder -- a mechanism designed to limit supply and dominance in the hands of few miners. The race to get ahead with top-notch technology has intensified so much that miners became key customers for semiconductor giants such as Nvidia Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. And because of such advantages, the business became increasingly institutionalized and concentrated in the hands of companies like Bitmain or Bitfury. Read more: Bitcoin Miners Facing Shakeout as Profitability Wanes While faster gains in the hash rate have coincided with price rallies in the past, the relationship between the two isnt so straightforward. Theoretically, a climbing hash rate should lift the price because it means the cost of each token is higher. But computing power may be rising now because of past expansions in capacity, which are a sunk cost to miners and reflect higher prices earlier. Its also possible that miners will sell more of their holdings as margins get squeezed. The increased hash rate means people are here for the long-term because theyre happy to just accumulate what they have, potentially even run at a loss, said David Sapper, chief operating officer at cryptocurrency exchange Blockbid Pty Ltd. in Melbourne. At the same time, they do sometimes have to clear house and dump. Various analysts have have tried to calculate the break-even price for miners, which may offer support for prices. Bullish research firm Fundstrat Global Advisors has estimated $8,000. Morgan Stanley has said that large mining farms make money only with Bitcoin trading above $8,600, according to a CNBC report. Researchers at CoinShares, which offers cryptocurrency investment products, estimated in a May report the average marginal cost of a Bitcoin is $6,400. The digital currency traded at about $6,500 on Friday. The number varies depending on the miners efficiency. Genesis Mining, for instance, is still expanding capacity, Streng said. Miners that also manufacture equipment have the benefit of immediate and cheaper access to their hardware and can adjust prices of their products to maximize profits, according to the CoinShares report. Read more: Cryptos Millennial Mining Tycoon Is Said to Plan $3 Billion IPO Yet its clear the heydey of cryptocurrency mining is over for now. Genesis Mining said Thursday it will terminate contracts that are mining too little to cover the daily maintenance fee. Semiconductor companies are also seeing a slowdown in demand from miners. Increasingly, cryptocurrency mining seems dominated by large, competitive companies. The efficiency of the hardware is rapidly increasing and costs are coming down, the CoinShares researchers Christopher Bendiksen and Samuel Gibbons wrote. Miners are securing access to highly competitive sources of electricity, often ones that would otherwise lie idle, and show high degrees of mobility.

Bitcoin is 'useless as a payment mechanism and ridiculous as a store of value,' ex-PayPal CEO says Bitcoin will continue to fall, because "there's just no value there," former PayPal CEO Bill Harris told CNBC on Tuesday. "The cult of bitcoin [makes] many claims that it's instant, free, scalable, efficient, secure, globally accepted and useful it is none of those things," Harris said on CNBC's "Fast Money." Harris, who is also founder of Personal Capital Corporation, came out swinging against bitcoin in an April op-ed in which he called the cryptocurrency a "colossal pump-and-dump scheme, the likes of which the world has never seen." Harris said Tuesday that bitcoin's value will continue to dwindle until it gets "eventually a whole lot closer to zero." "We've got digital currencies. And we've got digital currencies that are more stable, more widely accepted and have intrinsic value. We've already got it it's called the dollar, the yen, you name it," Harris said. The former financial technology CEO's primary concerns about bitcoin include its slow transaction time, scaling challenges and volatility, which "alone makes it useless as a payment mechanism and ridiculous as a store of value," Harris said. "There has to be something underpinning it," he said. "Bitcoin makes no revenue, no profitability." Bitcoin climbed more than 1,300 percent in 2017 to nearly $20,000, then lost almost half its value in the first three months of 2018. Bitcoin dipped below $6,000on Tuesday for the first time since June, before paring some losses to trade near $6,114 as of 6 p.m. EST, according to CoinDesk. Some cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors have attributed the sell-off to kickback from Securities and Exchange Commission activity. The SEC moved to delay a decision on the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust ETF on Aug. 7, after it rejected a separate ETF proposal from Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss on July 26. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/14/ex-paypal-ceo-theres-just-no-value-in-bitcoin.html |

ETF onaylandığında Bitcoin, trilyon dolarlık piyasa değeriyle 58,000 dolara ulaşabilir Trading Room için yazan Heidenin belirttiği ana noktalardan biri, ETF sigortasının yatırımcılar için avantajı. Yatırımcılar artık gerçek Bitcoin satın almak zorunda değil. Bu sayede risk azaltıldı. Özellikle bu yüksek net değerli bireylerin aradığı bir şey. Heidene göre ilk etapta ETF reddedilecek ve bu zayıf elleri sallayacak, fiyat daha fazla aşağı çekecek ama ucuzdan almak isteyen insanlar için de iyi bir fırsat olacak. Heiden, bir Bitcoin ETFsinin kaçınılmaz olduğunu düşünüyor. Bununla birlikte onaylanmadan önce Bitcoin fiyatının manipüle edileceğine ve çok fazla volatiliteye sahip olacağına inanıyor. Ayrıca bir ETF onayının altın ETFsine benzer şekilde uzun bir boğa piyasası tarafından takip edileceğini iddia ediyor. Heiden daha sonra çok fazla miktarda Bitcoinin kaybedildiğini (17 milyonun 4 milyonu) ve kalan arzın yaklaşık yüzde 20-30unun çeşitli koşullar nedeniyle kilitlendiğini, mevcutta 10 milyonluk bir arzın bulunduğunu açıklamaya devam ediyor. Analist, Bitcoinin değerini 58,000 dolara çıkaracak trilyon dolarlık bir piyasa değerine ulaşması için sadece yaklaşık 250-300 milyar dolarlık bir hamle gerektiğini öne sürüyor. Heiden, ardından dünyadaki servet dağılımına dikkat çekiyor ve nüfusun yaklaşık yüzde 1inin 118 trilyon dolarla dünyadaki zenginliğin nerdeyse yarısına sahip olduğu göz önüne alındığında bunun yalnızca yüzde 0.5inin Bitcoine 600 milyar dolar getirmek için yeterli olacağını ifade ediyor. Heidene göre bu hiç abartılı bir rakam değil. Heiden, ek olarak bir Bitcoin ETFsi onaylandıktan sonra tüm kripto paralar için toplam piyasa kapitalizasyonunu daha da artıracak olan Ethereum gibi diğer altcoinler için de çeşitli ETFlerin ortaya çıkacağına inanıyor. https://uzmancoin.com/bitcoin-karim-heiden/ |

https://www.forbes.com/sites/workday/2018/07/25/global-finance-leader-study-finance-leaders-share-the-top-risks-that-matter-most/#88a1aa64891eBitcoin and cryptocurrency trading volume on Turkey's exchanges has surged over recent days as the country battles to contain a currency crisis that looks set to continue into this week. Koinim, Turkeys largest exchange, has reported a 63% increase in Bitcoin trading volume, while the BTCTurk and Paribu exchanges have said their volumes are up 35% and 100% respectively, according to CoinMarketCap data. Unlike Iran, where a ban on bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading means those wanting to buy bitcoin must turn to peer-to-peer exchanges like LocalBitcoins, banks in Turkey often still work with local exchanges, meaning fresh adopters can begin buying and trading more easily. As a result, bitcoin trading volume in Turkey on LocalBitcoins has not increased as much as it has on local exchanges. bitcoin price exchanges chart Bitcoin volume on global peer-to-peer exchanges like LocalBitcoins has not increased as much as local Turkish exchanges in recent weeks.COINDANCE / LOCALBITCOINS Meanwhile, bitcoin and cryptocurrency users in the country have been speaking of their fears over Turkey's currency crisis and economy. One bitcoin user in Istanbul who goes by a pseudonym, Bitmov, told CoinDesk he has been using bitcoin to buy digital ads abroad for over three years. "I started personally trading crypto 1.5 years ago because of the weakness of the Turkish lira, and fear of the political, and financial, status of the Turkish government," Bitmov told CoinDesk. "Cryptocurrency makes me feel much safer." MORE FROM FORBES Another bitcoin user, who prefers to use his Twitter handle, Bit_gossip, told CoinDesk: "Every day there are new [bitcoin] exchanges coming up in Turkey." bitcoin price Twitter screenshot Bitcoin and cryptocurrency traders around the world have been talking about the sudden drop in the value of the Turkish lira.@HERRVONBRAUN / TWITTER An escalating dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump over tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum and concerns about the health of the Turkish economy meant the Turkish lira lost a fifth of its value against the dollar last week, pushing it to record lows and down around 45% so far this year. And the Turkish lira has continued to slide despite the countrys finance minister promising to implement a market-calming plan on Monday. Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said in a Sunday interview with local media outlet Hurriyet that Turkish institutions will take "necessary steps", though Reuters reports few specifics were provided. Albayrak's comments come hours after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan railed against high interest rates and described the plunge in the countrys currency as a foreign "operation". Erdogan also called on Turkish citizens to exchange any dollars, euros or gold they own for the lira to prop it up, according to media reports. Now Turkey risks a Venezuela-style move towards bitcoin and cryptocurrency if people lose faith in its currency.

https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/1002128/Bitcoin-price-latest-news-update-end-of-bitcoinBitcoin price LIVE: BTC in danger of dropping to $4,000 - Is this the end of bitcoin? DAILY HEADLINES Good afternoon and welcome to our rolling coverage of all things cryptocurrency, including price, regulation, innovation and financial crime. A week of dreadful losses sees bitcoin prices tumble down close to $6,000 a coin, as investors struggle to rally. Bitcoin fell another 4.31 percent to trade at $6,155.74, a loss of just under $1,000 in less than a week. The rest of the market has suffered from bitcoins slump too, with Ethereum losing 11.74 percent on the day to trade at $318.76. Ripple lost 11.11 percent to trade for $0.299337, while Litecoin fell 9.81 percent to sell for $56.61. Bitcoin prices are stagnating as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) debates the approval of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for bitcoin. Approval of the proposal could see BTC prices skyrocket, but continued uncertainty has seen investors lose confidence. Analysts predict BTC could plummet as low as $4,000 if the issue isn't resolved, but is this the end of bitcoin? 6.26pm UPDATE: Bitcoin familiarity increases in USA More than half a billion Americans say they are familiar with bitcoin Litecoin and Ethereum. A new study published by the AICPA has revealed that more than 50 percent of all Americans are aware of cryptocurrencies, with 54 percent of respondents anticipating the crypto market to either remain stable or increase in value in the next year. The survey also revealed that cryptocurrencies are set to constitute five percent of the total U.S. investment pool in the next year as retail investors enter the crypto market on a large scale. 4.57pm UPDATE: Volumes Surge on Turkey's Crypto Exchanges as Lira Tanks Trading volume on Turkey's cryptocurrency exchanges surged Friday as the country's fiat currency plunged to record lows on economic jitters. According to CoinMarketCap, volume at Turkish exchanges Paribu, Btcturk and Koinim jumped over the past 24 hours by more than 100 percent each. Absolute volumes are still relatively small at these exchanges, with Btcturk, the country's largest, handling $11.6 million in trades. 3pm UPDATE: Lawsuit against Ripple denied On 10th August, a remand filed by plaintiff Ryan Coffey against defendants Ripple Labs, Inc. [Ripple], XRP II, LLC, an ancillary of Ripple, and Bradley Garlinghouse [CEO of Ripple] has been ruled over by the court. Plaintiff initially filed the patent on May 3, 2018, accusing the aforementioned defendants after investing in XRP. The lawsuit demanded remuneration for the plaintiff, awarding him for damages caused due to investing in XRP. It also demanded that XRP be subject to the California Corporations Code. The lawsuit also alleged that Ripple Labs has focused on how to create, maintain, and increase the value of XRP. It also claimed that Ripple is not decentralized. Bitcoin prices have slipped down further today Bitcoin prices have slipped down further today (Image: CoinMarketCap) 13.50pm UPDATE: BTC hits a one-month low This week's price fluctuations saw bitcoin prices plummet to a one-month low. On some exchanges, like the Europe-based Bitstamp, Bitcoin even spent some time under the $6,000 price level, as the order books on that exchange might have been too shallow to handle this influx of sell-side volume. 12.30pm UPDATE: Bitcoin prices could drop to $4,000 A Bloomberg analyst has predicted bitcoin prices could slump to as low as $4,000 should the cryptocurrency market continue to stagnate. Mike McGlone, a Bloomberg intelligence analyst said: "Bitcoin is in dump mode, following the pump run-up on the potential for a U.S. ETF. "It may not subside until revisiting good support near $4,000 -- last years mean."
