About 600 computer servers used to mine bitcoin were stolen in Iceland in a series of large-scale robberies in December and January, according to police.
The servers were taken from data centres in Reykjanesbær, near Reykjavik airport, and Borgarnes on Iceland’s west coast.
About 10 people have been brought in for questioning, and two Icelanders in their 20s and 30s are being held on suspicion of involvement in the thefts, a police spokesman for south-west Iceland told AFP on Wednesday.
He suggested the thefts could be linked to organised crime, saying: “Everything points in that direction.”
This is old news. Why entertain it again?
It only aggravates the atmosphere, and does not give a good effect.
I see the market is very bad and very sensitive to negative issues.
and some people take advantage of it.
Exactly. I cannot help to notice the number of troll accounts that are currently out posting old, negative Bitcoin related news and even blatantly fake news. It is all designed to scare weak hands out of their Bitcoin. I wish I knew who are paying them to post the hogwash.
They are whales. they always managed to create panic.
there should be special regulation to deal with this. News lie should not be disseminated to this forum or to social media.
Regulation means centralization. There is no need for regulation. Regulation will only make it easier for them to suppress and manipulate prices. To give you an idea of what's going on:
https://medium.com/@super.crypto1/4th-dimension-bitcoin-manipulation-cartel-can-it-be-burnt-no-way-c53de65c166aWhat we need is decentralized crypto-based solutions that for one don't support off-chain trading and/or transactions. An environment where it will be impossible to use the promise of Bitcoin to suppress and manipulate prices through derivatives such as futures and options.
We also need people who are prepared to help set the record straight.
Any government will do the regulation and finance is the object.
I almost do not find the meaning of decentralization in my country, and crypto is new and considered dangerous here. A good solution to continue to socialize blockchain technology.
As long as it doesn't mean that the majority of people will call the shots, because the true spirit of cryptos are not to have a majority that terrorizes a minority (or vice versa). The true spirit of cryptos are to level the playing field in a decentralized, peer-to-peer manner. That being said, acceptable forms of socialism can certainly benefit from cryptos and vice versa.
I get some meaning from decentralization from you, it is important to socialize blockchain technology. this is a tough struggle, it may take several years to give people confidence to use this technology.
I believe one day blockchain would be a good solution in my country.
