Finding Equilibrium: Searching for the true value of a Bitcoin
Vinny Lingham, CEO and co-founder of Gyft, wrote an interesting take on the state of Bitcoin, and why current prices are lower than they were just a few months ago. Obviously anyone’s guess can be given on Bitcoin prices, but this article makes some important observations.
St. Louis Fed: ‘Enforcing Outright Bitcoin Ban Close to Impossible’
Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis David Andolfatto released a report on Bitcoin, and it gave the Bitcoin community another peak into what financial regulators think about when I comes to Bitcoin. One of the most interesting slides in the report has to do with Bitcoin’s effect on taxation. It talks about how the recent IRS ruling could limit Bitcoin’s attractiveness as a currency, but the St. Louis Fed also admitted that “enforcing an outright ban is close to impossible.”
ZeroBlock Android Update
We announced a new update for ZeroBlock on Android that has been much anticipated. ZeroBlock for Android is now updated with BitStamp charts. We have also fixed some bugs and added small UI changes. Check it out!
Fighting to Protect Our Users
Blockchain has made some small wins in the last week on security. Lead by our CSO Andreas Antonopoulos, and working closely with cyber security agencies, we were able to take down a number of phishing websites targeted at our users, those with domain names that are very similar to ours. These sites are shut down for good!
Banks working with Bitcoin companies in China rumored to close accounts
What is a good news recap without a rumor? This week, sources in China said that banks that work with Bitcoin companies had to stop taking deposits and close down those bank accounts. Reports out of China have largely been differing in information, with no real clear report that this is true. However, some of the speculation has caused a lot of questions of what is happening in China in relation to Bitcoin. Most recently, BTC China made an announcement that they haven’t received any official word from PBOC regarding restriction of deposits or withdrawals. So as it stands now, it’s business as usual.
New Texas Memorandum Outlines Initial Bitcoin Exchange Guidelines
The Texas Department of Banking has released a supervisory memorandum outlining its regulatory stance on digital currencies within the guidelines set by the Texas Money Services Act. The document draws a line of distinction between bitcoins and other digital currencies and sovereign currencies like the dollar. According to the memorandum, digital currencies are not recognized as legal tender in Texas because they lack backing from an institution like a central bank, do not have intrinsic value and do not carry any guarantees of redemption.

Bitcoin is going to space, literally!
Project BitSat is working to see how Bitcoin can be operated in space. One of the key tenets is that bitcoin block data is easy to distribute widely. One of the ways we may keep bitcoin healthy and free is finding alternative ways to distribute block chain data. This provides remote or off-grid bitcoin access, and some resilience in case the primary P2P mesh network is disrupted. From https://blog.blockchain.com/2014/04/04/week-in-bitcoin/ |

tldr: Bitcoin has a number of headwinds which is keeping the price in check. I’m expecting it to stabilize around the $400 mark for at least the next quarter (although predictions in the Bitcoin space are very hard to do past a couple of weeks).
As Bitcoin stabilizes below $500 for the first time since it’s eye-popping run to over $1,000 in November 2013, many crypto pundits are scratching their heads and trying to make sense of the current weakness — especially given the excitement & innovation that we are seeing within the global Bitcoin community. Venture capital has also been pouring into Bitcoin startups at a rabid pace (north of $100m so far this past year). However, over the past couple of days, I’ve had numerous friends contact me asking the same question : “What’s happening with Bitcoin?”.
Bitcoin is currently trying to finding an equilibrium point — at least at the current volume levels — given all the recent disruptions to the ecosystem (including the recent MtGox collapse). Equilibrium would be defined for me as the point of stability in price where there is symetric volume and consistent growth on a daily basis between buyers and sellers (utopian, but right now there is asymmetric growth which is not being quantified — so traders are having a problem predicting where it would go).
History shows that it needs to find a very stable price point for a few months before it can really retest any previous highs. External factors like Russia, Ukraine, China, etc will contribute to Bitcoin volatility and changes in the supply/demand... Full story here: https://medium.com/p/ba5f3fcce103 |

What do you think about store bitcoin in Xapo vault
According to claims - bitcoin in vault get insured against all type of thefts and loss (caused by them).
So, it is good choice to store your bitcoins in their vault .. Though, they take 0.12% fees yearly - i don't have problem in giving that till my bitcoins are secure against all type of loss.
& their front-end is not so secure according to my check - but i have contacted them already about it ( Waiting for their reply).

The Japanese government will set rules for trading bitcoin, including imposing taxes on transactions with the virtual currency, that will become the basis for guidelines applicable to similar currencies in future, the Nikkei reported.
Japan’s government is still trying to explain the collapse of Mt. Gox – once the world’s once largest bitcoin exchange – and figure out how the Tokyo-based company could lose nearly half-a-billion dollars in bitcoins, Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday.Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan on Friday, saying it may have lost 850,000 bitcoins due to hacking into its faulty computer system.
The guidelines proposed by the Japanese cabinet will call for taxing bitcoin transactions, defining the virtual currency as a commodity rather than a currency, the Nikkei said.
Gains from trading bitcoins on online exchanges, purchases made with bitcoins, and companies earning revenue from bitcoin transactions will be subject to Japanese tax, the financial newspaper said.
Banks will be also be prohibited from handling bitcoins while securities firms will be barred from brokering bitcoin trades, the Nikkei reported.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that, unlike conventional money, is bought and sold on a peer-to-peer network independent of central control. Its value has soared in the past year, and the total worth of bitcoins minted is now about $7-billion.
The virtual currency has engendered a new wave of creative criminality from hacking online platforms to steal bitcoins to their potential for use in money laundering, bribery and purchases of illicit products.
Last week, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said the U.S. Congress should look into legal options for regulating virtual currencies such as bitcoin.
Shanghai-based BTC China, the world’s largest bitcoin exchange by volume, has imposed new regulations to curb bitcoin trade weeks after Beijing banned financial institutions from trading in bitcoin due to the risks involved....

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto said Thursday that he is not the creator of bitcoin, adding further mystery to the story of how the world's most popular digital currency came to be.
The denial came after Newsweek published a 4,500-word cover story claiming Nakamoto is the person who wrote the computer code underpinnings of bitcoin.
In an exclusive two-hour interview with The Associated Press, Nakamoto, 64, denied he had anything to do with it and said he had never heard of bitcoin until his son told him he had been contacted by a Newsweek reporter three weeks ago.
Nakamoto acknowledged that many of the details in Newsweek's report are correct, including that he once worked for a defense contractor, and that his given name at birth was Satoshi. But he strongly disputed the magazine's assertion that he is "the face behind bitcoin."
"I got nothing to do with it," he said, repeatedly.
Newsweek stands by its story, which kicked off the relaunch of its print edition after 15 months and reorganization under new ownership.
Since bitcoin's birth in 2009, the currency's creator has remained a mystery. The person - or people - behind the digital currency's inception have been known only as "Satoshi Nakamoto," which many observers believed to be a pseudonym.
Bitcoin has become increasingly popular among tech enthusiasts, libertarians and risk-seeking investors because it allows people to make one-to-one transactions, buy goods and services and exchange money across borders without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties. Criminals like bitcoin for the same reasons.
For various technical reasons, it's hard to know just how many people worldwide own bitcoins, but the currency attracted outsize media attention and the fascination of millions as an increasing number of large retailers such as Overstock.com began to accept it.
Speculative investors have jumped into the bitcoin fray, too, sending the currency's value fluctuating wildly in recent months. In December, the value of a single bitcoin hit an all-time high of $1,200. It was around $665 on Thursday, according to the website bitcoincharts.com. Bloggers have speculated that bitcoin's creator is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoin....
