In today’s Bitcoin ecosystem, users too often have to choose between usability or autonomy. Coyno aims to change that. By sitting on a “watch-only” layer on top of user’s bitcoins. “Coyno is like a cryptocurrency Mint.com; it will make Bitcoin more user-friendly, secure, and legally compliant while letting users stay in full control of their funds” Levin Keller, CEO of Coyno said to Digital Money Times. The Berlin-based startup Coyno opens up their watch-only Bitcoin bookkeeper. This is the first step on a journey towards a tool that makes good on Bitcoin’s promise of letting you “be your own bank”. besides being the CEO of Coyno, Mr. Keller is also a member of the Bundesverband Bitcoin (the Bitcoin Foundation’s German affiliate) where he is a vocal advocate of Bitcoin in Germany.

Oswald Grübel : “Bitcoin Can Even Be a World Currency In its Truest Form”
In our numerous previous articles going back to January 2014, we reported that gold coins and Bitcoins were pretty safe way to have a long term investment. With long term investment we mean investments that last longer than 1 year.
In a chance meeting chat with Oswald Grübel, Ex-CEO of UBS and Credit Suisse, he told us that Gold coins and Bitcoins were the only safest way to get good returns on your investment in the long run. “…the current states of the central banks are not as safe as they portray. This unstable situation is created by very risky practices of certain banks. This stems from the belief that the governments will rescue the banks when the banks are in trouble again.

The Truth About The New Bitcoin VAT Regulation in Europe
Some Cryptocurrency forums blew up yesterday and today about the new European “VAT regulations”The reason of this mass hysteria was induced by some news agencies that are implementing the same tactics the corporate media are using. Creating a panic is much easier than using unbiased reference material and writing a high quality and informative article.
If an article refers to a load of consultancy agencies and so called/ self proclaimed experts and not to source material, in this case to the actual European Union, it is extremely badly piece of journalism. It is quite obvious when an article focuses in on European VAT rulings or legislation that you refer to the European website.
What To Do With Bitcoin : A Few Tips
We have been asked a lot of questions by non crypto users about Bitcoin and what you can do with it. Some people we spoke to referred to it as “useless fictitious monopoly money”. When we asked how some of these people came to that conclusion or where they got the evidence to back up their claims they are usually silent.
In the rare occasions where we did get a response it is usually along the lines of citing biased sources, like bank officials ( yes trusting a bank is the really smart) or other self proclaimed “experts” in the financial sector ( who fail to grasp the elementary workings of Bitcoin).
