This is NOT financial advice

Market Analysis

  • Bitcoin briefly touched the 11k resistance point today but promptly fell back down, now at around 10,800
  • Bitcoin is still in the green for the past 24hrs, whereas most of the other top 10 are slightly in the red
  • As a result BTC dominance has been generally trending upwards since january, now at 40% of total market cap
  • Yesterday’s release of segwit support coupled with more exchanges adopting segwit is likely contributing to the cryptocurrency’s growth over the past couple of days

Daily News

Bill Gate’s recent AMA on reddit shows he isn’t up to date with the most recent happenings around crypto. The remarks he made are more the narrative from a few years ago.

Community backlash has been strong, with many on twitter calling him out.

A lot of scammers on twitter. One thing they do is use verified accounts and change the name to impersonate existing accounts of famous people. “Twitter rules mandate that accounts lose their verified status when they change their names, but several fraudulent accounts have managed to maintain their verification badges, which are signified by a blue check mark next to the account's handle.”

Coinbase will comply with a judge’s ruling in a California federal court to share customer data of 13,000 of its users with the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS). The IRS was most concerned with accounts with at least $20,000 “in any one transaction type,”

Among those include are Andreas Antonopoulos

Good(?) news is that originally, 500,000 customer records were requested but that number was reduced drastically.

Thank for sharing

Jika ada waktu tolong resteem blog saya teman

At least Coinbase has disclosed the information they have shared... it would be worst not to know what they shared and not know you need to file those transactions.

Kemungkinan besar saat ini turun drastis, dan bisa dibilang ini sangat tidak stabil. Terimakasih banyak @boxmining telah berbagi
