The Weekly This week we reported about a suggested solution to  51% attack s, a hacked exchange that was blamed for tanking the market and a cannabis-themed cryptocurrency bringing peace to the world . We also learned, in this week’s most commented-on article, who really controls Bitcoin and why it won’t become a global currency, according to the CEO of  Ripple . Hack Takes a Toll on Crypto Markets The big news on Monday was another hacked South Korean crypto exchange. While the figures stolen were much smaller than past events and the trading venue involved much lesser known, the incident was widely blamed for the drops across the markets due to its timing. The alleged hacker stole $19.5 million in NPXS, $13.8 million of Aston X, $5.8 million in tokens of Dent, over $1.1 million of Tron, and at least five other tokens, all from Coinrail exchange users. Other subjects covered include a hospital where you can pay with tokens and a “blockchain” based cul...

Boiler room managers released in Philippines Ten days ago we reported that a group of Israeli citizens had been arrested in the Philipines for running a boiler room operation. They were displayed, shackled and clad in prison uniforms, on local television. The operation used a fake company name and pretend licence and employed locals to cold-call people all over the world to sell them fake financial investments. The alleged ringleaders were released last week because they were “not committing any offense” at the time of their arrest, according to Philippine authorities. McAfee vs th...

Open Positions at CCN: Full Time and Part Time Journalists Wanted. Races for Senate are usually relatively similar. There are a few candidates, some routine bickering, a few shocking allegations, and enough muckraking to make even progressive era journalists look like they were embellishing their subjects. Occasionally though, a wrench is thrown in and shakes up the entire election. This year that person was Austin Petersen. Political opinions aside, Petersen seems to embody the libertarian spirit put forth by the more anarchical members of the cryptocurrency community. In our short conversation, he continuously pointed out the failings of big government, talked about his thoughts on where cryptocurrency could go and spoke about some of the shortcomings of centralized platforms in the era of fake news. Petersen is an imposing figure. If you Google him the first thing you’ll see is him holding a gun and smirking. His career is atypical, to say the least. He’s been a model...

RLC/BTC now on Binance! George Friedman , a well-respected Hungarian-born U.S.  geopolitical forecast er and strategist on international affairs, believes  blockchain technology  will eventually become “ obsolete ” — and he may be right. ‘It’ll be Obsolete’ Geopolitical forecaster  George Friedman  thinks the blockchain’s days are numbered. Friedman explained his view of Bitcoin’s underlying technology to CNBC late last week at the UBS CIO Global Forum in New York. The chairman of Geopolitical Futures explained: I’ve never known any encryption technology not to be broken. I doubt between Russia, China, U.S. intelligence services [that blockchain can’t be decrypted.] He continued: It’s useful. It’s visible, [but] at some point it’ll be  obsolete . Friedman is well-known for forecasting opinions which often go against the grain of mainstream political thought. As noted by CNBC, the author of “The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for...

Last week,  China ’s president Xi Jinping took Blockchain-oriented domestic politics to another level: the country’s leader mentioned blockchain as “a part of technological revolution”. The sentiment was then picked up by  China ’s largest TV broadcaster, as the viewers were told that “the value of blockchain is 10 times that of the internet”. Besides the high praises coming from the top of the state, there’s action, too: in the past few days, Chinese central bank developed a system to issue blockchain-based checks instead of paper ones, while Alibaba-affiliated insurtech firm promoted blockchain use in healthcare industry. Here’s how  China  got there, and how state-supported blockchain adoption can coincide with severe cryptocurrency regulation. Strong, but troubled market China  is a major player in the Bitcoin market, hosting a substantial share of Bitcoin miners (in 2017, it was estimated that 50 to 70 percent of Bitcoin mining took place in t...
