📰 CoinSheet - October 15, 2018 📰

The calm before the storm

October 15, 2018 Money is nothing more or less than a commodity to be used wisely for the greatest possible personal and family benefit. Its value lies not in what it is, but in what it can do. -Unknown CoinSheet #217 Your providers do the best they can to keep spam out, but sometimes the systems they use mistakenly catch good mail along with it. So, we ask that you add us to your trusted list of senders. COIN BULLETIN Yale endowment invests into crypto funds I said I was going to cover this, so here we go. David F. Swensen (chief investment officer of the Yale University Investments Office) has invested in two funds dedicated to cryptocurrencies (Andreessen Horowitz and Paradigm). I should point out (because it isn't obvious) that they didn't just invest in these funds two weeks ago (Andreessen Horowitz's inaugural $300 million crypto fund closed in June). Anyways, this investment is important. As a person, you can probably relate that your self-perception is one of the hardest thing you have to overcome. You know that shitty feeling of not wanting to do something first because you're afraid of looking stupid. Well, everyone has that feeling. And Swensen is the cool kid on the playground who just went first (this wasn't the first endowment to invest in crypto, but the first one that is "cool"). So what now? It looks like bitcoin should now be an indispensable part of an investor's portfolio. Or so says Yale economist Aleh Tsyvinski. (Yale ECONOMIST??!?, yeah, it's funny how these things work).    This Yale economist is saying that even if you think bitcoin will perform terribly, you should still hold 1%.

There is growing concern that the company behind tether holds enough reserves to match the amount of tokens in circulation. Tether Limited, the company that issues tether, which its creators claim is 100 percent backed by fiat currency reserves, traded as low as $0.93 per coin early on Monday. There are rumors that a number of exchanges may delist tether, among growing concerns that it has been used in the past to manipulate the price of bitcoin. Tether Limited has denied these reports. –CNBC       2. Vitalik Buterin is not a billionaire. Despite numerous reports, ethereum's co-founder claimed on Twitter that while he does have a substantial crypto holding, he did gain coins through unfair pre-mining. Buterin went as far as to link to his proposed official ethereum wallet, which contained about 365,000 coins. That would equate to about $73 million based on ethereum's current value. –ETHEREUM WORLD NEWS       Meet the Expense Report Killer That Just Raised $57m in Funding Crumpled receipts, late nights, lots of staples.

Unocoin, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in India, has launched a bitcoin ATM as a way to skirt the country's cryptocurrency regulations. The Royal Bank of India stopped lenders from maintaining any business relationship with virtual currencies earlier this year, hurting exchanges in the process. Unocoin wants to use ATMs to allow for peer-to-peer trading, avoiding India's banking system in the process. –QUARTZ       4. DocuSign has integrated with the ethereum blockchain.
