As Cointelegraph recently reported, a link to a phishing LocalBitcoins clone website had been placed on the official LocalBitcoins forum earlier this week, but the attack has purportedly since been stopped.

Also this week, crypto critic Nouriel Roubini commented at a blockchain conference that the technology is “no better than an Excel spreadsheet.” Cointelegraph also reported on recent comments from Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak that he sold all of his BTC holdings at the peak of $20,000 in December 2017.
