After a bearish year of perennial price swings that culminated in months of tightly wound sideways movement, the (former) bottom has dropped out for bitcoin and the wider crypto market.
By all rights, it’s a complete reversal of fortune from the explosion of value the market enjoyed this time last year, and mainstream media has had a field day exploiting the irony of the peripeteia bitcoin’s price has suffered when we compare it to the investor euphoria of just a year ago.

Citing Chainalysis data, Reuters is reporting that Bitcoin retail payments were down 80% in September, and no mention of a rebound was present.

According to a core developer at Ethereum, Peter Szilagyi who is also overseeing the development of the Ethereum software client Geth, people aren’t aware of how much of their information is out in the open.
What Szilagyi is referring to here is the fact that little attention is focused on Ethereum’s underlying network layer, where information is exposed in complex and unpredictable ways.
Of course, it is known that there is an awareness of such exposure that’s given rise to a continuous acceleration in research on how to better obscure user data at an application level, which sits on top of a fully transparent system that publishes smart contract and transaction data to the blockchain itself.

People around the world have embraced social media. Whether we are airing our political views on Twitter, our best lives on Instagram, or what we had for breakfast on Facebook, we share parts of our lives no one used to see. Every time we think either the tipping point has been reached or the popularity of these platforms will diminish, we are proved wrong as they are prevalent in everyday life as much as they ever were – potentially more. The whistle blowers behind the Cambridge Analytica disclosure made even the most trusting of social media user question how our data is obtained, stored, and used, encouraging us to think more carefully on how and where we share our information, and who can then access it.

Switzerland has started sharing financial account information with tax authorities in dozens of countries as a way of fighting tax evasion, but Africa, which loses about $ 60 billion in illicit flows each year, mostly into European banks, is conspicuous by its absence from the deal. Swiss bank accounts have long been stereotyped as enablers of financial opacity, tax fraud and safekeeping of stolen public funds. That era is coming to an end.

In recent years, the crypto industry has been consistently impacted by a range of data breaches, hacks, and scams that have left users wanting for more of the heralded decentralization that crypto is meant to champion. Increasingly, investors and traders are looking for better ways to make sure their investments lay in their own hands.
This is especially relevant in a time where many crypto exchanges have essentially been holding users to ransom and closing accounts and withholding trades at will. Browsing social media shows countless complaints against the big exchanges for refusing to process payouts or closing accounts on the spot.

The low-cost Robinhood investing app popular with millennials makes up for the lost profits of commission-free trades by selling users’ data to other financial companies.
A Second Quarter SEC filing shows that Robinhood Financial (Robinhood) is actually making millions of dollars from selling users’ data to high-frequency trading (HFT) firms. Recall, this is the same company that espouses values of ethical trading practices that benefit the common man instead of fleecing customers to provide a quick buck for Wall Street traders.
