1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Reddit Drops Bitcoin Payment Option For 'Gold' Membership on: March 28, 2018, 02:51:17 PM
Social media website Reddit is no longer accepting bitcoin as payment for its Reddit Gold membership program.

On Friday, users began commenting in the /r/BTC subreddit that the only available payment methods for the service are credit cards and PayPal, whereas previously people were able to pay for gold using bitcoin.

A Saturday post in the same forum attributed to Reddit administrator "emoney04" explained that the change was due in part to Coinbase's decision to discontinue their Merchant Tool product in favor of Coinbase Commerce, which will enable "merchants to accept multiple cryptocurrencies directly into a user-controlled wallet."

The administrator went on to explain:

"The upcoming Coinbase change, combined with some bugs around the bitcoin payment option that were affecting purchases for certain users, led us to remove bitcoin as a payment option."

They also indicated that Reddit has yet to decide if it will reintroduce crypto payments after Coinbase implements its new Commerce service.

"We're going to take a look at demand and watch the progression of Coinbase Commerce before making a decision on whether to reenable," the administrator said.

3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Binance Moves its Headquarters to Malta Seeking More Crypto-Friendly Legislation on: March 25, 2018, 08:51:05 PM
One of the fastest growing crypto exchanges over the past year, Binance, announced on its official blog its intention to move operations to the European island of Malta.

This decision comes after the difficulties experienced to operate under the conditions imposed by the Japanese government. A few weeks ago the Asian newspaper Nikkei reported that the Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSA) said Binance was operating in Japan with no registration and judged that investors could suffer damage. In turn, this led many investors panicked, and this immediately led to a bearish trend in bitcoin prices.

The warning announced by the FSA, in addition to a series of obstacles and government threats made Asia an unpleasant place for an exchange as crucial to markets as Binance.

Previously, on February 9, Hong-Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)  issued a warning that indirectly affected Binance:

"Investors who store their fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies with unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges should be aware of the risks of hacking and misappropriation of assets.”
