 MUST READS 

Bitcoin Likely to Hit $100,000 by 2022?


On August 24, 2018 Anthony Pompliano "Pomp" – Founder & Partner of Morgan Creek Digital Assets – called for Bitcoin to drop by 50% to $3k before rallying back over $10k.

That call was deadly accurate and allowed Morgan Creek Digital to buy the dip. Here's his next price target.

Was Bitcoin the Greatest Asset Bubble of All Time? Not Even Close...


Which asset bubble was the greatest in history? The flower that once sold for the price of a house? The DotCom Boom? 2017's crypto mania? Or was it something else entirely?

This debate has raged on for far too long, and Nick Maggiulli decided to thoroughly analyze the data to answer this question once and for all.
 

🇨🇳 China Leading the Way?


As the global economy shows signs of faltering due to the China & US trade war, the people of the People's Republic seem to be waking up to the fact that they may need to stash some wealth in a sovereign digital currency.

Are we seeing Bitcoin cement itself as a safe haven asset right in front of our eyes? We think so.
 

Ethereum's Transaction Volume is Down 40% in a Year


Bitcoin's price reached the $12,000+ mark today, but the overall cryptocurrency market is looking quite different from the first time this price milestone was reached. For example, there was a somewhat widely-held belief that Ethereum's ETH token would overtake bitcoin back in 2017. Union Square Ventures's Fred Wilson even shared this belief publicly during a Bloomberg interview in May 2017.

Since that time though, Ethereum's transaction volume has declined roughly 40%. Additionally, ETH is down 60% against bitcoin over the past year.

US Traders Beware: IRS Exam Teams Beginning to Work Cryptocurrency Tax Cases


U.S. citizens who have failed to report their income from crypto transactions or underreported such income now have every reason to worry.

According to Bloomberg, the Internal Revenue Service has identified a couple of taxpayers who underreported their earnings from crypto income or completely failed to report such earnings. Taxpayers who have been identified can now expect to receive notices in the near future.

 

The Senate Banking Committee Will Hold a Hearing Next Month on Facebook's Libra Currency


Last week the Senate Banking Committee announced it will be holding a hearing next month to question witnesses over Facebook's new cryptocurrency initiative, Libra.

The hearing, entitled "Examining Facebook's Proposed Digital Currency and Data Privacy Considerations," is set for July 16th at 10AM ET. Facebook's plan was met with harsh criticism from lawmakers... and calls for investigation into the potential consumer risks.

Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) even asked that the company halt the development of the currency until Congress and regulators could investigate the potential privacy and financial risks.

"Given the company's troubled past, I am requesting that Facebook agree to a moratorium on any movement forward on developing a cryptocurrency until Congress and regulators have the opportunity to examine these issues and take action," she said.

1. Facebook Libra will be watched closely by global financial authorities. Randal Quarles, the chair of the Financial Stability Board, which coordinates financial rules for G20 countries, said, "A wider use of new types of crypto-assets for retail payment purposes would warrant close scrutiny by authorities to ensure that they are subject to high standards of regulation." Facebook met with the FSB to discuss Libra, but it was a general discussion and Facebook did not delve into details. It should be noted that Libra is not on the official agenda for this week's G20 Summit in Japan but it is hard to imagine it won't be talked about. - REUTERS

2. Partners and regulators have doubts about Facebook Libra. 27 of the partners who were announced with the launch of Facebook Libra signed nonbinding agreements and have not paid the $10 million fee yet required to run a node on the network. Many were skeptical to join the project run by Facebook because of its past history with data collection and breaches. Jerome H. Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, said, "I think that our expectations from a consumer protection standpoint, from a regulatory standpoint, are going to be very, very high." - NEW YORK TIMES

3. European central banks want more details on Facebook Libra. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said that Libra should not be seen as a replacement for traditional currencies. Le Marie said, "It is out of the question that Libra become a sovereign currency, it can't and it must not happen." The Financial Conduct Authority stated there wasn't enough information regarding Facebook Libra, and they will need to share more information with regulators regarding the project before getting the green light to launch in the European Union. - REUTERS

4. Swiss central banker Thomas Moser and his Swiss banking peers are relaxed about Facebook Libra. Moser who is an alternate member of the governing board at the Swiss National Bank said about Facebook at the Crypto Valley Conference, "I think it's an interesting development and I'm pretty relaxed about it. They have clearly indicated that they are willing to play according to the rules, they have been contacting the regulators." - COIN DESK

 5. From The Forums: @QuickBiskat asked on Reddit, "Does Facebook Libra Coin really even matter?". There were some well thought out answers by the community.

@cryptoparody - " Objectively speaking, Facebook is in a good position to create a ecosystem with some of the largest corporations in the world. Imagine if this works without any hitches. The long term vision of what they plan to accomplish will establish Libra as PayPal 2.0.

I believe the masses will want a haven that's more private and will look to Bitcoin. As for some of the alts, I don't know how well they may do long term, especially if Bitcoin's adoption and scaling improves, Libra banks a lot of unbanked individuals and the governments figure out how they can navigate the permission and permission-less blockchain landscapes.

Just some thoughts, don't slaughter me for being objective."

@kidtwiz responded with - " Since 2008, FB has acquired 80 companies (according to Wikipedia) ranging from back end advertisement firms to some cutting edge AI start ups. Earlier this year they acquired the ChainSpace team, I've never heard of this coin and have yet to look at there documentation so I'm not going to share my opinion on the team or project. They've also yet to release a Whitepaper and doubt they ever will because according to there website, they have moved on to something new. According to the ChainSpace website the network was capable of smart contracts and used DAG tech to scale the network with POS for consensus, but enough about this project.

My main point I'm trying to get at here is that FB has acquired the talent to completely spearhead crypto adoption to billions of people. For example: Imagine browsing through your Instagram feed and seeing an ad for a new flashlight (lmao idk) with a big button on the ad yelling "PURCHASE NOW FOR 69 LIBRA." Simply press the button and boom a brand wanking new product is being shipped your way.

Using smart contract coupled with ads, purchasing the shit that is shilled to us every day will be ever so simple. Of course, integrating Libra into WhatsApp is a no brainer for transacting value between people.

I'm terribly high rn and I don't want to type anymore, sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, but I think if FB gets past the regulation and the initial pushback it will start the crypto integration we've been waiting for.

also f*** FB"

@bluefoologo stated the obvious, "You owe an idiot friend money and he wants it on WhatsApp because he thinks Bitcoin is Buttcoin? No worries, transfer your crypto to Libra and send it off.

Your other idiot friend owes you but doesn't have Bitcoin. Sends you Facebook coin and you transfer into crypto.

This will also help us when buying at Coinbase, Gemini etc. Instead of waiting, should be easier to put money into Facebook (or who knows we all may be paid there someday) and then transfer the money into what you want, cryptocurrencies that are decentralized.

I can't see enough of the benefit of this. What am I missing?

7. Scammers are targeting crypto and Facebook Libra fans with fake websites. There is Zuckbucks.cash where visitors have the option to swap ethereum for ZBUX, an ERC20 token which can be used to do absolutely nothing. Someone also created, calìbra.com, a copy of Facebook's calibra.com, but the scammers used a grave accent for the ' ì ' to trick visitors. - COIN DESK

How insane is it that Mark Zuckerberg launches Libra right after the Winklevoss twins launch Gemini? Do you really think that's a coincidence? Is it the ultimate troll going on right here?" - CRYPTO CURRENCY NEWS
