Legendary currency trader, hedge fund titan, philanthropist George Soros, 87, delivered his yearly talk at The World Economic Forum 2018 in Davos, Switzerland. At the end of his remarks, an audience question asked the mogul his thoughts on cryptocurrencies generally and bitcoin in particular.


A balding moderator chose to read from an audience question. He asked Mr. Soros,  “Somebody says, ‘You’re a currency speculator. What do you think of cryptocurrencies? Is bitcoin a bubble, and do you have a position in cryptocurrencies?’”

Mr. Soros grinned, looking every bit of his approaching 90 years old, and seemed to acknowledge the obvious grin spreading across the room and his face. “Well,” he laughed while scratching his head momentarily, “cryptocurrency is a misnomer, and it’s a typical bubble which is always based on some kind of misunderstanding.”

His currency speculation isn’t like most. Mr. Soros’ currency moves have damn near sacked entire economies. Just ask the Bank of England. Or most of Asia at one time or another. Currency? You can say he knows a little something, yes.

Stammering to collect his next thought, Mr. Soros clarifies, “Bitcoin is not a currency. A currency is supposed to be a stable store of value. And a currency that can fluctuate twenty five percent in a day can’t be used, for instance, to pay wages because wages could drop twenty five percent in a day. So, it’s a speculation based on a misunderstanding,” he stressed.

A new extortion scheme has caught the attention of the FBI in which a Bitcoin scam is undertaken through an emailed death threat.

There are lots of ways that crooks try to extort money from their victims via the internet. Some of their tricks of the trade include sending infected emails or remote hacking. However, a new extortion attempt is proving to be downright scary and has attracted the attention of the FBI. Basically, the extortion attempt is a Bitcoin scam in which the victim is threatened with murder unless they pay up.

SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE

One victim told her story to the media. She said that she received an email that said, “I will be short. I’ve got an order to kill you.” Her only recourse to supposedly save her life was to pay the would-be-assassin $2,800 in Bitcoin.

Needless to say, the victim was scared to hell by this murderous Bitcoin scam. She told the media:

I knew no one was tracking me. But I found myself as I was on my way to work looking around. Are any cars following me? Does anyone look suspicious?

ONLINE DEATH THREATS NOT UNCOMMON

While one would think that such an incident would be rare, it’s actually more common than you think. The victim contacted the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center over the death threat.

About the agency’s website, FBI agent Laura Eimiller says:

We receive an average of 800 complaints a day in the United States on that site. We believe it represents about 15 percent of the scams that are actually taking place, so it is heavily underreported.

Agent Eimiller goes on to say that if you’re online, chances are that you will be victimized multiple times with various scams and threats. She adds that the current Bitcoin scam involving death threats is easy money for criminals as they rely upon volume.

She states:

If only 1 percent of people send money to them, there’s no overhead for them. That is money in the bank.

Police authorities say that even educated professionals have been lured in by the emails. The reason being that the emails containing the death threats have been carefully constructed. In short, this isn’t your old Nigerian scam email. Plus, having a death threat show up in your inbox is enough to freak any sane person out.

While the internet does allow us instant communication and access across the world, it does open us up to attacks from bad guys just using a keyboard. The best thing to do if you get such a murderous Bitcoin scam email is to not answer it. Contact the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center and register a complaint.

With the exception of Ripple, which has demonstrated a poor performance throughout the past few weeks, major cryptocurrencies in the market including bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano have increased in value.



Within the past 24 hours, the price of bitcoin increased by 8 percent, Ether surged by 10 percent, and Cardano rose by 15 percent. While the price of the three cryptocurrencies have declined by a small margin in the past three hours, they have still recorded relatively large daily gains.


During a major correction that occurred in early January, when the price of most cryptocurrencies plunged by more than 50 percent from their all-time highs, the popularity of bitcoin surged as investors moved to cryptocurrencies with lower volatility rates.

At the time, the dominance index of bitcoin rose to 38 percent, recovering from its all-time low at 32 percent. Over the past week, the dominance index of bitcoin has fallen from 38 percent to 34 percent, and the daily transaction volume of bitcoin has more than halved, from 490,000 transactions to 242,000 transactions.

The decline in the daily transaction volume of bitcoin has cleared the mempool and led to a significant reduction in fees. Widely utilized bitcoin wallets such as Blockchain have been recommending a fee of about 50 satoshis per byte, or $0.5, for median-size transactions. Lower fees increase the accessibility of bitcoin for newcomers and casual users, especially to users that utilize bitcoin for small payments.

Evidently, the recent decline in the transaction fee of bitcoin was triggered by the drop in the daily trading volume, not due to a specific scaling solution, given that major bitcoin companies are yet to adopt Segregated Witness (SegWit) and implement transaction batching technologies.

As such, when the price of bitcoin increases again and its daily trading volume rises, fees will inevitably go up again. The high fees of bitcoin prevent newcomers and casual users from seamlessly transacting and settling payments.

High fees will likely have an impact on the price of bitcoin in the short-term, if the market recovers again. Innovative scaling solutions and swift implementation of SegWit by bitcoin firms are urgently needed to ensure bitcoin can recover to its previous highs.

A bitcoin trader allegedly lost nearly 200 bitcoins during the recent cryptocurrency market correction, which forced the bitcoin price as low as $9,231 after peaking at $19,891 last month.

The tragic story, which was posted on the Bitcoin Markets subreddit, is a stark reminder of how fleeting crypto wealth can be — and how bitcoin traders and investors can often mistake luck for supernatural skill.

The trader, whose account has now been deleted, said that he or she took $3,000 in poker winnings and turned it into nearly 200 BTC by betting successfully on last year’s bull market.

By trading on margin and correctly predicting that the bitcoin price would increase, the user was able to multiply the value of his or her position. Had the trader closed out the position at its most profitable, he or she would have walked away with 300 bitcoins, worth nearly $5 million at the time.

“I thought I was a trading genius, a god, whatever,” the author said, at which time the story takes a tragic turn.

The trader increased his or her position size and leverage in mid-December, as the bitcoin price hit $16,000 following its first dip to $11,000.

This proved to be the first of several critical mistakes, as the trader’s entire 50 BTC position was liquidated when the market dropped down to $12,000. He or she was still holding 150 BTC, which would have been a significant — potentially life-altering — profit reaped from an initial investment of just $3,000

A few bad trades later, however, and those holdings evaporated as well, leaving him or her with nothing to show for a years’ worth of trading.

“At this time I am still in shock,” the trader wrote,” the last few months I’ve neglected relationships and school, and I’ve been daydreaming about living the high life rich as f–k with my millions.”

Many investors were captivated by the market’s outsized gains in 2017, leading them to make similarly-unfortunate decisions. A recent survey, for instance, found that approximately 20 percent of investors who bought bitcoin using a credit card had not paid off the balance.

Having weathered a myriad of bitcoin price swings, long-time industry observers like ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees and Union Square Ventures co-founder Fred Wilson have said that it is wise to take profits when a position becomes extremely profitable and use those funds to pay off consumer debt or perhaps diversify into other assets.

Unfortunately, this trader did not heed that advice.

“I never want to hear the word BTC again because I want to forget,” the post concluded.

Bitcoin will “most likely” cost over $50,000 in 2018 as a new mathematical study attempts to get a logical prognosis for its price.


In results published by data scientist Xoel López Barata who conducted the investigation, Bitcoin appears set to hit $55,530 by the end of this year.

By contrast, the probability the largest cryptocurrency will be equal to or lower than at present is under 10%.

The rather more scientific evaluation joins the plethora of forecasts from various well-known figures in cryptocurrency and beyond, some of which remain wildly high despite Bitcoin’s recent halving in price.

Most recently, Trace Mayer produced popular findings that a 2018 Bitcoin costing over $14,340 would be “overvalued,” but which nonetheless saw the cryptocurrency having the potential to go over $100,000.


Barata used a Monte Carlo simulation with so-called “random walks” to unearth the potential for Bitcoin’s price future, refining the raw data to produce a graph of USD rates ranked by probability.

The results of the walks – or simulated price distributions created on the premise that Bitcoin’s future behavior would mimic that of its past – then delivered a target just over $55,000.

“It’s important to note that this estimation doesn’t have to be taken to the letter and it’s better used as a way to find confidence intervals on where the future distribution where be,” Barata added in cautionary comments.

“In this case an 80% confidence interval for the price of bitcoin would be between $13,200 and $271,277.”

Despite current prices heralding a fresh wave of ‘bubble’ warnings from mainstream media and skeptics such as Robert Shiller over the past week, little panic was seen among long-term investors.

A curious metric even pointed to Bitcoin merely repeating behavior it had exhibited during the second week of January every year for the past four years, itself adding further weight to Barata’s methodology.

With success comes attention, and with notice comes the taxman. Bitcoin’s crazy great jump in price over 2017 has taken the world’s most popular cryptocurrency from a curiosity into a begrudgingly valued asset by governments. Capital gains is the tool of most revenue collectors when it comes to crypto, including the United Kingdom (UK). What if investing in bitcoin was really just rank gambling? According to British tax law, that would mean such gains would go untaxed. It’s not as impossible as it might first read.  


It was a rather mild effort as statements go. A spokesperson from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commented: “We don’t normally tax betting and gambling because it is usually not classed as trading income,” he said. One could almost hear bitcoiners’ ears perking up all over England. “But there may be circumstances where factors such as the degree of skill and organisation would make the activity more likely to be taxable as trading income. Each case will depend on its own facts.”

Consumer affairs editor Katie Morley reported the statement as being a “tax loophole which reduces Bitcoin investors’ gains to zero” and could be “exploited by people filling in their returns for this tax year,” which might cost HMRC millions.  

Tax men around the globe are expecting coffers to fatten after 2017’s bitcoin gains, and much press has been given to their collection abilities or lack thereof. Studies have shown how few filings over recent years were due to nascent technology and lack of government minders’ understanding. Public comments by politicians hardly helped matters. But now the technology is taken seriously as a digital asset, and most see it clearly as a capital gain.

There is no denying bitcoin’s year. Thousands of percent price increases have brought tax collectors out in droves. In the United Kingdom, however, there appears to be a loophole some crypto enthusiasts might well claim: gambling. If money is made from gambling, a lark, it is not taxed. At one point in 2017, bitcoin’s price neared 20,000 USD.


Ms. Morley quotes a tax specialist as being agnostic on the question of whether bitcoiners necessarily qualify as gamblers. Perhaps investors who dabbled in relatively smaller amounts might able to claim the loophole. Otherwise, they’re subject to taxation anywhere from 18 percent to 28 percent.

Still another tax account believes claiming to be a gambler by investing in bitcoin would be a tough sell, but it might be easier to suggest gambling gains with altcoins, lesser-known “bets” as it were. “It is difficult to see how the profits on mainstream cryptocurrencies [such as Bitcoin] could be seen as gambling profits,” he warns. “There may conceivably be some cryptocurrencies in which the markets are random, and therefore the profits could be treated as gambling.”

In recent months UK regulators have chirped about better formulating cryptocurrency regulations, no doubt driven by the asset class’ heady year. The last time the topic was formally legislated with regard to UK tax was back in 2014. With its publication, it was largely seen as a boon for the ecosystem, as it seemed the government saw bitcoin and crypto as less of a revenue enhancement mechanism than a new technology struggling to find its place.

Bitcoin remains an asset under UK tax law, and as such an allowance of the first £11,100 is not taxed. If gains do not amount to that number, bitcoiners are safe. And if it’s a case of individuals holding bitcoin appreciation beyond that amount, capital gains are only triggered at the time of profit taking, experts agree.

One of the three major questions that the President of the European Central Bank will be answering via a series of videos on Feb. 12, 2018 is about cryptocurrencies and Blockchain.

Mario Draghi will respond to the selected questions, whether Bitcoin offers a viable alternative to traditional currencies as well as comment on the ECB's view on its technology, provided they are submitted by Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2018. Europeans aged between 16 and 35 can also ask questions around three main topics: possibility of a new global economic crisis, cryptocurrencies and Blockchain, Europe’s economic recovery and youth unemployment

The session is part of the ECB’s third Youth Dialogue which usually constitutes a series of talks held by the Bank’s policymakers with students and young people from different countries and backgrounds.

As a prelude to the session, the ECB has launched a Twitter opinion poll to ask if Bitcoin could offer a viable alternative to traditional currencies. The poll by Europe’s top bank has received more than 15,500 responses in about 24 hours.


While the role of central banks in the digital currency world has always been a subject of debate, the view that they exist to help ensure stability for economies still stands.

Bitcoin’s volatility has earned criticism of being a vehicle for perpetrating fraud from the likes of Lloyd Blankfein, the chief executive of the US investment bank Goldman Sachs. Luxembourg's Finance Minister, Pierre Gramegna also suggested that the European Union could soon introduce new cryptocurrency regulations.


What is clear is that 2017 was a crucial year for Bitcoin. Top digital currency soared in popularity globally as its value rose sharply, while crypto gained mainstream media’s attention.

Though there is no evidence, such awareness increased its adoption in Europe, available statistical data about 2017 shows that its use as an every-day payment method in main European economies is still minimal.


Nevertheless, it is obvious that new information has been dropped into the public domain for many people to sort on their own. It should make the ECB’s Q&A session to be an interesting watch even if nothing new is expected.

The session is coming in the wake of the recent suspension of Bitcoin-backed Visa debit cards in Europe and proposed introduction of EU-wide regulation on such currencies. It’s also worth thinking what the outcome could mean for the affected payment processors who are reportedly in talks with alternate card issuers in Europe and for those seeking to set up a crypto/fiat bank that would be independent of traditional banks.

In a recent speech, Natalya Kaspersky, the co-founder of Kaspersky Labs, made the claim that Bitcoin was a project by American intelligence agencies.

Cruise around the internet long enough, and you’ll come across a wide range of conspiracy theories. Most of them are pretty outlandish, and the people propagating such claims tend to be of the highly eccentric (to put it mildly) type. Every once in a while, however, a theory is pushed by someone who has a great deal of standing. The latest example of this is Natalya Kaspersky claiming that Bitcoin was created by American intelligence agencies.

Natalya Kaspersky is the co-founder of Kaspersky Labs, a highly reputable cybersecurity firm headquartered in Moscow. She is also currently the CEO of the InfoWatch group of companies. She recently gave a presentation called “Modern technologies – the basis for information and cyber-wars” at the ITMO University in St. Petersburg.

During her presentation, this little bit of information appeared on a slide:

Bitcoin is a project of American intelligence agencies, which was designed to provide quick funding for US, British and Canadian intelligence activities in different countries. [The technology] is ‘privatized,’ just like the Internet, GPS and TOR. In fact, it is dollar 2.0. Its rate is controlled by the owners of exchanges,


Her nuggets of wisdom didn’t end there though. She also said that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a lone programmer, but he is, in fact, a pseudonym for a group of American cryptographers.

Even the smart phone did not escape her unique perspective. She said that such devices could not be considered a personal gadget at all. The reason is that it “is a remotely controlled device designed for entertainment, work and at the same time for spying on its owner.”

These are some pretty amazing accusations, and it is interesting to see a segment of people agreeing with her online. To be honest, such talk makes me think of toil foil hats and worries about world governments using satellites to beam microwave signals into your noggin.

Of course, if the US government created Bitcoin, then they’re doing a pretty bad job at handling it. They’ve lost a ton of money by prematurely selling off seized bitcoins from the Silk Road.

Cryptocurrency dip buyers have returned after Bitcoin crumbled through key support and hit a low of less than $10,000 overnight.

But the gains seen earlier this morning have solidified in Asian trade, and Bitcoin has now bounced by almost 20% today off its overnight low.

And the buying has extended to all the major alt-coins, following the sector-wide selloff which over the previous 48 hours saw heavy falls across the board.

The selling was attributed to a number of factors — ranging from a regulatory crackdown in Asia, giving rise to lower trading volumes, to simply just a long-overdue market correction.

But for the time being the panic has subsided. As usual, Bitcoin prices vary significantly between different exchanges but a short time ago, Bitcoin was sitting comfortably above $11,000 on the US-based Bitfinex exchange:

Хорошие новости:

The bitcoin price plunged below $10,000 on Wednesday as this week’s comprehensive market correction intensified.


The cryptocurrency markets have been in a free-fall this week, and the downward spiral continued this morning. The cryptocurrency market cap dove below $500 billion, and the bitcoin price sunk as low as $9,663 on Bitfinex, marking the first time it has dipped below $10,000 since Dec. 1.

At present, bitcoin is trading at $10,053 and its market cap is just $170.9 billion, which represents a single-day decrease of 16 percent and a year-to-date decline of more than 28 percent.



Notably, bitcoin is still trading as high as $10,389 on GDAX, a professional order-book exchange operated by bitcoin brokerage firm Coinbase, but the flagship cryptocurrency is priced below $10,000 on OKEx and Binance

There are several factors that could be contributing to this week’s correction. Both China and South Korea have indicated a harsher stance toward domestic cryptocurrency trading, with China planning to block residents from accessing foreign exchanges and South Korea curbing the ability of retail investors to moonlight as day traders.

This week, South Korea’s military reportedly blocked soldiers from accessing cryptocurrency exchanges while stationed on military bases. The Justice Ministry, meanwhile, sought to ban cryptocurrency exchanges outright, although the government later cooled those fears.

However, it seems doubtful that these developments alone would cause such widespread turmoil within the global markets. As ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees said earlier today, “there is not necessarily a ‘reason'” that markets rise and fall, which suggests that it might be futile to search for a definitive trigger.

In any case, however, recent cryptocurrency investors are getting their first taste of a true market correction. Someone out there purchased bitcoin for $19,891 on Bitfinex on Dec. 17, and the value of those coins has effectively been cut in half over the course of the past month.

How these investors respond to this sudden downturn could determine whether bitcoin is consolidating before a breakout or entering a bear market.
