Intercontinental Exchange, the firm that owns the New York Stock Exchange, is the latest Wall Street giant to be mulling a move into the cryptocurrency space, according to a report.
An article from The New York Times published Tuesday suggests that Intercontinental Exchange (or ICE) has been developing an online bitcoin trading platform for major investors who want access to bitcoin.
The newspaper cited emails and documents it obtained as well as conversations with four people with knowledge of the still-confidential project. https://www.coindesk.com/report-nyse-owner-ice-weighs-bitcoin-trading-platform-launch/ |

The owner of two well-known bitcoin websites has sparked controversy once again as he’s written an open letter to the community asking for a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus change. Cobra says bitcoin is slowly becoming less decentralized and he blames mining centralization. In fact, Cobra points to “one man and his company,” and that individual is Jihan Wu, the owner of the Chinese based Bitmain Technologies. Cobra says that the security of the Bitcoin core network depends solely on trusting that one company will be honorable.
“As long as they [Bitmain] control the majority of the hashrate, the only way to keep the network secure is the threat of a hard fork to a new PoW, but this will only work for as long the community is reasonably small and still overwhelmingly shares the same morals for a decentralized Bitcoin,” explains Cobra’s open letter. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-org-owner-asks-the-community-to-change-bitcoins-central-pow-algorithm/  |

Caracas (AFP) -- Venezuela's currency has lost so much value that people simply throw away their small bills -- they are virtually worthless anyway.
Enter Wilmer Rojas, 25, who scoops them up off the street, uses an origami-like folding technique, a needle and thread to make handbags with an eye to selling them -- maybe even abroad, where people have real money.  http://www.mysinchew.com/node/119121?tid=  |

The company’s advisor, Jason Weinstein, a former DOJ investigator, crowed: “Having a traceable public ledger of every bitcoin transaction ever conducted allows law enforcement to ‘follow the money’ in a way that would never be possible with cash.” https://news.bitcoin.com/irs-takes-tax-evasion-hunt-blockchain/So, where is all that bullshit fake talk about money laundering with crypto's ? |

There are several exchanges , with sometimes 'huge' differences between their prices of a coin at the same moment ... so... i was wondering, how to know the 'exact' price of a coin at that same moment ? I know, that coincap ( https://coincap.io/ ) has an update every second, but there also is sometimes a price showing , and 1 second later, that price can sometimes have a 'difference' of hundred of dollars .... Also cryptowatch ( https://cryptowat.ch/ = from kraken) shows several exchange prices, though, there is also sometimes a huge difference of the price of a coin between those exchanges at the same moment .... there should be a international 'reference' of al those crypto coins, showing the 'real average prices' of all the exchanges or something ... just my 2 cents ... |

While BOA Captures the Most Cryptocurrency Patents, the Company Also Likes to Close Customer Accounts if They Trade Bitcoin
In addition to BOA trying to capture a lot of blockchain and cryptocurrency patents, the company isn’t too friendly towards bitcoin traders. The financial institution has been well-known for closing people’s bank accounts if they trade bitcoin. https://news.bitcoin.com/uspto-approves-bank-of-americas-cryptocurrency-exchange-patent/ |
