Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin is interested in BitTorrent, recently acquired by the cryptocurrency and blockchain platform Tron. Justin Sun announced on Twitter on Wednesday, “It seems that Satoshi Nakamoto himself was interested in joining our Atlas project since Nov. 03 2008.” Describing how the system could scale, Nakamoto cited BitTorrent as an example of a peer-to-peer network that could give a digital currency monetary value. Justin Sun recently unveiled how he plans to integrate the Tron protocol into BitTorrent to reward users who share content. The foundation claims that it wants to build what it calls a “decentralized internet,” allowing developers to build blockchain-based applications. It’s unclear how exactly Tron plans to integrate with BitTorrent. According to Justin Sun, “Currently we are exploring the possibility of using the Tron protocol to improve the BitTorrent protocol, in order to make the BitTorrent protocol faster… I hope the integration of Tron and BitTorrent will allow both parties to work better as one in the future.” BitTorrent is currently a part of Tron’s Project Atlas. The project is all set to improve the BitTorrent protocol by making it faster and lengthen the lifespan of BitTorrent swarms.

Investigators have arrested and charged a 20-year-old college student of being part of a gang that hacked cellphone numbers before stealing over $5 million in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Tech news website Motherboard reported, citing court documents obtained by it, that Joel Ortiz, a 20-year-old college student from Boston, has been accused of hijacking more than 40 phone numbers with the help of some accomplices.

The group allegedly targeted multiple individuals during the high-profile Consensus conference in New York City in May 2018. The hacking technique involves tricking a cell phone provider such as AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. To pull off the scheme, Ortiz and his crew had to impersonate their targets. They allegedly contacted the victims’ cell phone providers to request new SIM cards, convincing them that you have lost your SIM card. Once they have confirmed your identity, they will transfer the number to another SIM card (which you already own). The hunt for the criminal gang started when one unnamed victim reported to the police that his cell phone..

The arrested Ponzi scheme kingpin behind India’s biggest cryptocurrency scam, Amit Bhardwaj, has now offered to pay back thousands of investors their initial investments in Indian rupees. Zebpay, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in India, was asked to help investigate the matter. However, the initial responses from investors seem to suggest that they will oppose this move, demanding their shares in the current market value of their original bitcoins. “We want the returns in (today’s) cryptocurrency value and not the value of the cryptocurrency when we invested. Today, the Bitcoin price is much higher than what it was when we invested. It is like Bhardwaj will keep the profits and just return the principal amount which is wrong,” said a victim, who asked to stay anonymous in this story because investigations are not complete.

We are one step closer to paying for our purchases with the help of our credit cards using Bitcoin as a currency. United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has approved a new patent filed by Mastercard, for a method of linking public blockchain-based assets to fiat currency accounts. According to the filing, the method addresses the storing of both fiat and cryptocurrencies under one profile. This means, as a user, you’d have two linked accounts with your bank — one for your fiat wealth, and one for crypto. The interest in the usage of cryptocurrencies is constantly growing. Owing to the nature of cryptocurrencies, especially consumers who value anonymity and security prefer them to traditional fiat currencies. According to Mastercard, the new method allows for the assessment of the likelihood of fraud or risk associated with blockchain transactions, since existing payment algorithms like credit bureau data or demographic information can be provided by the traditional payment networks.

EOS stands as the 4th largest traded coins among the top 100 cryptocurrencies in the industry.  1st Analyst On EOS.Chart Analysis. Another bullish flag pattern, this time on EOS. This pattern has high probability of reaching the profit target should a break above Point (B) occur. Use STOP-LIMIT order to catch the move and place stops below Point (C) when in a position. If price fails to break Point (B) and drops below Point (C), trade setup is invalidated. This is my FAVORITE pattern to trade in a BULL trend. Take note the supply zone shaded in blue.
