As far as adoption goes, Bitcoin follows a familiar pattern. Populous, first world countries in North America, Europe and Asia were first to catch Bitcoin fever, the first to establish exchanges and the first to begin restricting them as well. While early Bitcoin trading in these countries was largely boundless, allowing for things like margin trading and high leverage, as more of each country’s fiat money moved into Bitcoin, governments and central banks began to draw lines. The market witnessed a pointed example of such “no more nonsense” regulation as recently as a few days ago in South Korea. Following China’s example, the country decided to limit ICOs and no-fee exchanges, which had until that point been an enormously speculative influence in the altcoin markets. However, no matter the increasing rate of adoption and regulation around the world, Bitcoin always manages to find its “Wild West” somewhere new. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-booms-in-evolving-markets |

Jeffrey Epstein is seen as royalty when it comes to the elite of finance, having been a billionaire for over 20 years. However, despite his traditionalist ways, the former partner at Bear Stearns has weighed in with his opinion of Bitcoin. Epstein excelled at finding hidden value for his clients and himself, identifying anomalies in the market, and using arbitrage to profit from them. He has now identified Bitcoin as another potential opportunity https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-bursting-with-potential-says-billionaire-jeff-epstein |

There are masses of potential for Bitcoin in Africa. It’s a monetary system for the unbanked, it’s trustless and far less corruptible, and it can create a new monetary system where there’s no long legacy of banking and financials. However, across the continent, in different countries, the uptake has been surprisingly slow. From South Africa and Nigeria, as the biggest players in Bitcoin, to smaller nations like Tanzania who are seeing big growth, but with small numbers. https://cointelegraph.com/news/why-is-africa-slow-on-the-bitcoin-uptake |

Fresh off setting a one-month high, the price of ripple's native cryptocurrency, XRP, is struggling to cut through resistance offered by a rising channel hurdle. At press time, the ripple-US dollar (XRP/USD) exchange rate is $0.24, and while that figure is up 4.24 percent on the day and 21.89 percent week-over-week, it seems further gains may be difficult. https://www.coindesk.com/ripples-rally-xrp-price-runs-roadblock/ |

Bitcoin price managed to rise above the $5,000 mark in trading today, fulfilling the expectations and predictions of a number of Bitcoin faithful. However, it has also led to widespread concerns that a bubble is forming that will eventually crater the portfolios of many investors. The massive rise is difficult to grasp, without considering what the value of what an investment would be had it been purchased last year. Consider an average investor who purchased $100 of Bitcoin in September 2016 when Bitcoin was selling for $572. Had they managed to hold the currency through all the ups and downs of the last year, they would be sitting on $850 with today’s $5,000 price point. https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-much-100-investment-in-bitcoin-a-year-ago-worth-now |

Bitcoin’s value is skyrocketing today on August 29 reaching an all-time high of $4,650 per BTC across global exchanges. Bulls don’t seem to be letting up as the price continues to climb after short periods of pullbacks as $5K per BTC could be just around the bend. Bitcoin Surpasses Another All-Time High After a solid week of bouncing around the $4,250-4,350 range, bitcoin markets kicked into high gear on Monday after the weekend, reaching a new all time high. At press time the price per bitcoin is hovering around the $4580-4630 territory and sell walls look extremely flat on many popular exchanges. Bitcoin trade volume has been strong commanding $2.2B worth of trades over the past 24-hours, and bitcoin dominance is averaging around 46 percent. The highest trade volumes for bitcoin right now are currently stemming from Japan, China, the U.S., South Korea, and India. Interestingly, Asian markets from exchanges like Bitflyer, Bithumb, and Huobi are currently trading roughly $50 less than western exchange spot prices https://news.bitcoin.com/markets-update-bitcoin-skyrockets-to-4650-setting-new-all-time-high |

Cyber hackers from North Korea have reportedly targeted Bitcoin exchanges in South Korea in retaliation to new sanctions imposed by the United Nations against the hermit state as of late August 2017. According to South Korea’s Cyber Warfare Research Center, at least one Bitcoin exchange was targeted by a hacking attempt that possibly originated from North Korea. The assault was allegedly distributed through a dedicated email campaign. If the emails are opened by employees of the targeted exchanges, the attached malware will embed itself in the company's’ computer networks. So far, there are no exact figures on the number of exchanges that were hit by the attack. https://cointelegraph.com/news/north-korean-hackers-reportedly-attack-bitcoin-exchange-in-south-korea |

Fred Ehrsam, Coinbase co-founder, has said at Y Combinator Demo Day 2017, an annual event held by one of the most prominent and leading venture capital firms, that only two startups out of 130 are building Blockchain-inspired products. It has become quite evident that demand towards Blockchain technology and Blockchain-based applications from the global technology industry has increased significantly over the past two years. Multi-billion dollar technology conglomerates and financial institutions including Visa, Microsoft and IBM are actively hiring Blockchain developers to successfully deploy decentralized infrastructures in their existing networks. https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-will-be-worth-1000-in-couple-of-years-aragon-co-founder |

Ask any oldtimer, and you’ll find that masterluc is something of a legend in the Bitcoin community. His main claim to fame is that he called the top of the November 2013 Bitcoin bubble and the subsequent bear market. On December 6, with the price at $1100, he said: “Third day in a row I wake up, see charts and ask myself "Is this the end?" and third day in a row answer is "Yes.” End of first historical bullish trend 2010-2013.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/legendary-bitcoin-trader-masterluc-predicts-15000-bitcoin-this-year |

Sounds fantastical? Maybe, but Blockstream swears it isn't as crazy as it sounds. Today, the bitcoin infrastructure company is launching Blockstream Satellite, an ambitious attempt to use leased satellites to beam bitcoin nearly anywhere in the world. Now in beta, bitcoin users in Africa, Europe, South America and North America can already use the satellites to download a working bitcoin node capable of storing the network's entire transaction history. But while complex conceptually, the company believes its end result can solve a real issue facing the $66 billion network – without internet, you can't access bitcoin. And this poses a problem for bitcoin proponents who believe the cryptocurrency could be especially beneficial to people without internet, who also generally live in areas with economic instability. So, Blockstream decided to set its sights on a solution, and found it in space. According to Blockstream CEO Adam Back, the project is all about putting bitcoin into the hands of those who "desperately need" it. https://www.coindesk.com/blockstream-using-satellites-beam-bitcoin-earth |
