A team of expert designers makes sure all Bitcoin Empire cards are unique, as they are printed on quality materials. Every character card has its set of tools and proficiencies, and there is also the Satoshi Nakamoto card. The game goes through several phases, dubbed Mining, Draw, and Action. Once the last card from the deck has been drawn, the game ends. The winner will be determined by the amount of bitcoins labeled on the cards kept face down in front of each player. http://bitcoinist.net/bitcoin-empire-kickstarter-campaign-live/ |

As of today, June 21, 2016, UK residents can use the Gemini exchange to exchange between Bitcoin and Ethereum. An option to buy or sell cryptocurrency with pounds or US Dollar is coming in the coming months. At the time of writing, no specific dates were revealed for implementing these options. http://fintechist.com/winklevoss-bitcoin-exchange-gemini-expands-uk/ |

Similar to how exchange wallet work, Bitcoin debit card users may need to wait a few hours – or days – to get their funds out again. Platform operators move the funds out of cold storage, which can take some time. Or in the case of SnapCard, one user reported how he had to contact customer support to make a withdrawal. http://themerkle.com/bitcoin-debit-cards-convenience-vs-drawbacks/ |

This new auction by Ernst & Young will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention as well. A total of 25,518 Bitcoin is up for sale, divided into different lots. Bidding is open for a 48-hour period, and the auction started at 12:01 AM AEST. Given the current Bitcoin price trend, it is likely the winner of these lots will pay a premium price. http://fintechist.com/ernst-young-bitcoin-auction-underway/ |

By using chip technology, all cryptographic secrets on the Ledger Nano S are secured and kept safe from prying eyes. Moreover, this hardware wallet has support for multiple cryptocurrencies – both Bitcoin and Ethereum – which can be spent from the same device. Third-party applications can be used in conjunction with this device as well. Users can pick from existing offerings – GPG, SSH, and others – or build their own. http://themerkle.com/ledger-nano-s-supports-both-bitcoin-and-ethereum/ |

It is worth noting GDAX was sitting at 3.9 million users on June 2nd. Achieving that last 100,000 group only took them 19 days, which is quite a significant feat. The booming Bitcoin price has something to do with that, though, as it spurs a lot of renewed interest in cryptocurrency. http://fintechist.com/bitcoin-exchange-gdax-4-million/ |

While there may be an argument to be made as to how Bitcoin is cheaper and equally is convenient, it is doubtful Walmart would accept cryptocurrency payments. Unlike Visa, Bitcoin has little traction, as there is no real reason for consumers to get involved in cryptocurrency. At the same time, if a brand like Walmart were to accept Bitcoin, it could boost the adoption rate of cryptocurrency in the US and Canada. http://themerkle.com/new-change-org-petition-wants-walmart-to-accept-bitcoin/ |

Any judge has a moral obligation to find out the truth, regardless of their own beliefs. Plenty of details regarding the Silk Road trial are dubious at best and warrant a new trial. Whether or not that will be the case, remains to be seen. The legal system does not work the way most people would want it, but the truth will come out, one way or another. http://fintechist.com/prosecution-rebuts-arguments-new-silk-road-trial/ |

Individuals who are privacy-centric have taken a liking to dark markets. These platforms offer near anonymity and allow anyone in the world to buy and sell any item in exchange for Bitcoin. Albeit cryptocurrency is often referred to as an anonymous form of payment, Bitcoin is pseudonymous, rather than anonymous. That being said, there are no personal details transmitted when making a payment. http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/06/19/network-congestion-will-not-diminish-dark-markets-bitcoin-usage/ |

CAD-Coin May one day serve as the digital equivalent of the Canadian Dollar, thus not replacing the fiat currency. However, it remains to be seen if both currencies will complement one another. Central banks can issue an unlimited supply of money, though, either in digital or physical form. http://fintechist.com/cad-coin-become-canadas-answer-bitcoin/ |

Issues like these always spawn great discussions among cryptocurrency enthusiasts. However, a lot of people seem to lose track of the bigger picture. What is happening to The DAO affects everybody in the cryptocurrency community. There is a lot of disappointment, anger, and frustration during these difficult times. But at the same time, there are valuable lessons to be learned from this setback. http://fintechist.com/dao-loses-ethereum-funds-smart-contract-vulnerability/ |

Now that Jaxx includes an adjustable Bitcoin fee, users of this wallet solution should no longer be affected by network congestion. Users can select between slow, average, and fast fees, depending on how quickly they need to move funds between addresses. Moreover, all of these types will scale depending on the level of current network activity. http://themerkle.com/decentral-introduces-adjustable-bitcoin-fee-for-jaxx-users/ |

The decrease in Locky activity is quite noteworthy, as the ransomware was showing significant success a few weeks ago. However, over the past two weeks, nearly no activity has been noted by Symantec. Whether This is due to a disruption in their operations, or just a business decision to scale back, is unknown at this time. http://bitcoinist.net/symantec-report-indicates-end-of-locky-ransomware-threat/ |

Keeping in mind how the Jaxx wallet runs on the blockchain, there is no central party to control user funds. All of the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DAO tokens are entirely controlled by the user at any given time. Moreover, the blockchain wallet solution is available on mobile and computer, as well as browser plugins. It is the first time such a complete and cross-platform mobile wallet comes to fruition. http://fintechist.com/decentral-shows-blockchain-wallets-future/ |

Expanding the business into France is not a random business decision either. Agentic France will service as an extension of the moment to support the global blockchain ecosystem. Establishing a leadership position in the fields of blockchain and digital currency will be the primary objective for the French office. http://themerkle.com/agentic-group-blockchain-consortium-expands-to-france/ |

The primary objective for Caricoin is to put people at the heart of all transactions. There is an integrated chat feature for communicating with other users. Moreover, mobile credit can be topped up through the Caricoin wallet anywhere within the Caribbean. Doing so creates an instant use case for Bitcoin in the region as well. http://themerkle.com/caricoin-boosts-bitcoin-adoption-in-the-caribbean/ |

F2Pool, one of the largest Bitcoin mining pools in the world, has voted on increasing the block size to 8MB. This is the first time a Chinese pool openly acknowledges their preference for such a significant increase. An incremental increase from one MB to two MB and four MB was the original plan. But it looks like the time has come to ditch those concepts and solve this matter once and for all. http://bitcoinist.net/f2pool-votes-on-8mb-blocks-to-alleviate-bitcoin-congestion/ |

The trading volumes for both of these cryptocurrencies are quite impressive as well. Bitcoin saw a US$1.65bn volume in the past 24 hours, compared to US$21.8m for Ethereum. One-eighth of the trading volume for a currency that has slightly over one-eighth of the Bitcoin market cap seems to indicate there is still some correlation between Bitcoin and Ethereum, though. http://themerkle.com/bitcoin-surpasses-725-mark-as-ethereum-surges-towards-20/ |
