Why You Can’t Bet With Bitcoin at Online Casinos in the US

July 21, 2019 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

Since the dawn of Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency landscape has seen a lot of digital currency gaming websites where users can wager their coins in games like poker, dice, blackjack and slots. Because public blockchains are transparent, the protocols have made online gaming provably fair. However, throughout most states in the U.S., residents cannot participate in online gambling as politicians from the ‘Land of the Free’ stop them from making bets with their own money.

Competing Stablecoins Can’t Topple Tether

July 6, 2019 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

Love, hate or fear it, there’s no avoiding tether (USDT). Its shadow looms over the cryptoconomy, supplying sanctuary in times of volatility, providing fiat capital inflow and acting as a lightning rod for crypto critics who believe it’s propping up the price of bitcoin. Over the past year, a flurry of new stablecoins have entered the market, each vying to topple tether and provide a more transparent and fully audited alternative. So far, they have scarcely made a dent in tether’s dominance.

This Bitcoin Chart Destroys the Argument That BTC Can’t Be Money

June 13, 2019 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

By CCN Markets: Every skeptic says the same thing: the bitcoin price is too volatile to be a real currency. And they’ve got a point. Bitcoin’s huge swings make it risky as an investment and difficult as a day-to-day payment method. But it’s slowly changing. As more money flows into bitcoin, it’s becoming less volatile. And that means it’s becoming better money. As you can see, the graph shows extreme daily price movements are much less common in 2018 and 2019. BTC is growing more stable. Bitcoin price swings are “less extreme” As developer Fernando Nieto, who created the graph, Read more...

Canadian-based QuardigaCX says they can’t find their cold storage wallets. In a notice published on its website, the crypto exchange says they have filed an application for protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), a Canadian law which deals with bankruptcies in Canada.

Brexit Britain Can’t Rope-In Crypto Cowboys Alone

September 22, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

Bloomberg contributor Lionel Laurent believes that Brexit Britain needs to get serious about regulating the crypto industry. Yet, he’s skeptical it can be done alone.

It’s clear from a September 21st Bloomberg article that regulation-cozy Lionel Laurent believes crypto regulation needs to be an international effort. EU-friendly Laurent believes that Brexit Britain simply cannot go it alone.

Crypto needs a leash, but it’s laughable to think that the City of London can hold it on its own.

UK Police Can’t ‘Hodl’

July 22, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

Surrey Police has officially become the first UK police force to effectively seize and convert bitcoin. However, due to active legislation, the police sold the cryptocurrency just before its all-time-high.

Last year in April, Surrey Police seized 295 bitcoins held by now-convicted criminal Seregjs Teresko. The wrongdoer is serving more than nine years of jail time on charges of money laundering, possession and control of articles for use in fraud, and for the cultivation of cannabis.

The police reportedly found a digital key to access the criminal’s bitcoin at his property located in Cobham. Apart from that, the officers also found other expensive items like gold bars, credit cards, and cash in Thai baht, euros, and sterling. Read more...

Lightning Network Can’t Guarantee Transactions Larger Than 3 Cents…Yet

June 28, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

Digital assets industry newsletter Diar.co has poured cold water on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, claiming low transaction success rates and issues with node dominance.

A Classic Beta Landscape?

In its latest issue June 25, the weekly publication identified statistics about the current state of Lightning, highlighting problems for which the likelihood of improvement remains “unclear.”

“Nodes are up by 8600% and the Bitcoin funds on the network are up by 3600% from the start of the year. It’s less clear, however, whether the concentration of capacity amongst the largest nodes will improve with more adoption,” Diar writes. Read more...

June 26, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

While everyone is looking for an indication that institutional money is about to flood into bitcoin and revive the market, we just got another conformation that crypto has indeed entered the big leagues. Companies in the industry are now putting former regulators on their payroll, as is common for Wall Street mega banks, government-supported telecom monopolies, competition-stifling tech giants and the like.

Cryptocurrency Communities Just Can’t Get Along

May 8, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

If there’s one thing that rival cryptocurrency factions can agree on, it’s their mutual dislike of one other. Everything else is up for debate, and not calm, reasonable debate, but the sort of fevered in-fighting that makes the crypto community resemble an unruly rabble. This internecine squabbling has arguably done more to hinder cryptocurrency adoption than any external threat.

India Can’t Regulate Bitcoin Says Official

March 14, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

Indian authorities have been struggling to grasp the crypto phenomenon for quite some time now – years, to be more precise. The inability to fully understand it and put it under control has resulted in a state of semi-denial: “it’s illegal”, officials repeat tirelessly, but also keep trying to tax it. It doesn’t help when someone previously charged with proposing regulations, now says – India just can’t regulate bitcoin.

He also called for “very careful regulations” that wouldn’t prohibit virtual currency. Read more...
