Future of money will be public-private effort, says ex-CFTC chairman

boss

The public and private sectors should work closely together to bring about the future of money, according to a former leader of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Chris Giancarlo, a former CFTC chairman and initiator of a blockchain-based digital dollar project, joined the Singapore Fintech Festival 2020 to discuss the future of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs. At a Tuesday panel called “Will CBDCs disrupt stablecoins?,” Giancarlo declared that the future of money depends on close government collaboration with the private sector. Addressing Iliana Oris Valiente’s question on…

Crypto trader and accused Ponzi scheme is now fighting the SEC and jilted investors

boss

Dissolved limited liability company Crypto Traders Management is seeing its legal troubles multiply. Per a Friday legal filing in Utah, CTM and its former manager Shawn Cutting are trying to fight off a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC is apparently demanding financial data from Cutting — specifically, all of the transaction information from his Wells Fargo accounts as well as his communications with the bank. Cutting is trying to quash the SEC’s request by pleading a right to financial privacy. Back in July, former investors in CTM…

Citi Analyst Chides Saylor’s Bitcoin Focus, Cuts MicroStrategy to ‘Sell’

boss

Citi analyst Tyler Radke lowered his recommendation on MicroStrategy to “sell” from “neutral,” warning investors in a Tuesday research note that the company’s recent bitcoin euphoria may be overextended, according to SeekingAlpha. Radke cited CEO Michael Saylor’s “disproportionate focus” on bitcoin as a potentially troubling trend for the business intelligence company. He also said MicroStrategy’s planned $400 million debt offering to fund additional bitcoin purchases signals “incremental risk to the story.” Insider-selling also contributed to Radke’s eyeing a $250 price target (still above his previous MSTR target of $200). Shares…

Jesse Powell: Bitcoin Banker – CoinDesk

boss

Jesse Powell is used to playing the tougher hand.  When he played the card collectibles game Magic: The Gathering with fellow bitcoin OG Roger Ver, Powell picked the decks that required more silence and concentration. Ver picked the simpler hands and chatted with his opponents, Ver told CoinDesk in a recent interview.  This article is part of CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2020 – a list of impactful people in crypto chosen by readers and staff.

Bitcoin Dissidents: Those Who Need It Most

boss

“You can say that Bitcoin’s headquarters is in Lagos now. Or in Minsk. Or Hong Kong.” The year 2020, shaped by the global pandemic and political and economic crises worldwide, made us reconsider many things. Stuff that didn’t catch much attention before starts to matter. In crypto, new, powerful trends are also on the rise.  This article is part of CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2020 – a list of impactful people in crypto chosen by readers and staff.

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin’s Cyber Hornet

boss

It was nighttime on Twitter and Michael Saylor was getting angry.  Saylor’s words were being twisted by the press. That sort of thing happens when you’ve run a public company as long as Saylor has: Tell a reporter one thing and he or she writes something else. The gray-haired, black polo-shirted business intelligence chief is used to what he calls “creative journalism.” This article is part of CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2020 – a list of impactful people in crypto chosen by readers and staff.

Bitcoin May Need “Life Support” as Bulls Try to Defend Key Support

boss

Bitcoin’s price action has been rather lackluster as of late, with sellers forcing the crypto back below $19,000 as it struggles to gain any clear momentum in either direction. This price action has been surprising considering the macro strength incurred due to the recent multi-week uptrend, but it does seem as though serious upside could be imminent in the near-term if buyers can gain the upper hand. Where it trends in the mid-term will likely depend on whether its $18,600 support or $19,400 resistance is broken first. These levels have…

Three Years In: A Bitcoin Cash Update From One of Its Founders

boss

It’s been over 3 years since August 1, 2017, the day Bitcoin Cash was born. I know because I was there and part of the loosely knit ‘team’ that launched the Bitcoin Cash project. Now, after some time has passed and events have unfolded, I am excited to give you an update on where we are today. What is Bitcoin Cash All About? It’s no secret that I love Bitcoin Cash, so you’ll obviously be getting a positively biased report. (Although I’ll also give you my thoughts on what we…
